Lu Beichen stood directly in front of Ji Guoqiang with such a dominant presence that he dared not make any rash moves. He withdrew his hand, took a step back, and stared intently at the two people before him.
Lu Beichen pulled the little woman behind him with a quick gesture, then politely bent forward and respectfully said, "I apologize. I married your daughter without your consent while you were unconscious. But I truly like your daughter, so I couldn’t wait for you to wake up and give your approval! As a man, you should understand the urgency of wanting to marry the woman you love!"
He spoke slowly and elegantly, exuding an undeniable courtesy that left no room for rebuttal.
"If you are angry about this, feel free to punish in any way you wish, but do not lay a hand on Tongtong. She is not only your daughter now but also my wife. I adore my wife dearly, and I won’t allow anyone to harm her, not even a little! Not even myself!"
The implication was crystal clear to Ji Guoqiang!
He snorted coldly, "Don’t make it sound so noble. This is nothing but a ga for you rich people. Right now, you think my daughter is a treasure because you’re still interested. But once you grow tired of her, you’ll discard her faster than anyone else! I don’t care how rich and powerful you are; right now, I’m disciplining my daughter, and you better not interfere!"
Not daring to push away the man before him, he took a step to the side and looked at Ji Niandong, "Are you coming ho with or not?"
"Dad, of course, I’ll go ho with you, but I won’t divorce him!" She gripped Lu Beichen’s hand even tighter.
Feeling the reliance of the little woman behind him, Lu Beichen also felt a warmth in his heart.
"Are you trying to push to my grave? Is this how all of you behave? n like him, who have wealth and power, could crush you with just a flick of their finger." Ji Guoqiang’s eyes were red with anger, "You foolish girl, if I’d known you’d turn out like this, I shouldn’t have brought you ho after your car accident five years ago. You might as well have died!"
Ji Niandong felt a sharp stab in her heart, so painful that she could hardly breathe!
What did she do wrong?! What on earth did she do wrong?!
Shen Congjun once said the sa thing!
"Then you shouldn’t have brought back five years ago?" She suddenly spoke softly, her voice so distant and ethereal that it seed as if she weren’t even there, "Wouldn’t it have been better if the car had killed ? Then, you wouldn’t have had to watch waste away at ho for five years, becoming like a useless person!"
Ji Guoqiang pointed a trembling finger at her, his entire body quivering with agitation, "Good... very good. I did this for your own good, and you’re turning it back on . If I hadn’t kept an eye on you at ho, wouldn’t you have already ended up in so other man’s bed? Where is Ah Jun? Where is he? All of you, get out, and let Ah Jun co to take ho!"
Lu Beichen then laughed, a laugh filled with deep sarcasm, surprised that the little woman had been kept at ho by her father for five years under surveillance. If it hadn’t been for that... With a cold smile, he said, "Father-in-law... Are you asking about Shen Congjun?"
"You have no right to call that!"
"I have no right to call you that." Lu Beichen gently squeezed Ji Niandong’s hand, as if comforting her, yet his eyes towards Ji Guoqiang were icy, "Does Shen Congjun have that right? Indeed, if he hadn’t left her to die and sent your daughter into my bed, I wouldn’t have been so fortunate to find her! Shouldn’t I thank Shen Congjun for that? Hmm?"
Ji Guoqiang completely sensed the anger of the man before him and also grasped the gist of the situation!
Biting his lips with guilt, he asked Ji Niandong, "Is what he said true?"
Ji Niandong pressed her lips together, stubbornly turned her face away, unwilling to even ntion that person’s na anymore!
Ji Guoqiang turned and walked out, "That brat Shen Congjun, I won’t let him off!"
Only then did Ji Niandong beco alard, chasing after him to hold him back, "Dad, what are you going to do?"
