Chapter 4: Chapter 4 Unforgivable
In her view, as long as she could cajole Zhong Niangyao, then Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong wouldn’t pursue the matter any further. A young girl whose mind was muddled by love could be easily soothed with a few kind words.
Although Li Jingyang was very reluctant in his heart, he obediently stepped forward, “Zhong Niangyao, I will keep my promise. After you have recovered, let’s go eat together!”
He felt that this concession on his part was already significant. The re thought of dining with Zhong Niangyao made him even more irritable.
“There’s no need.” Zhong Niangyao leaned half against the headboard, her face sowhat pale, but with a faint smile on her lips. Her whole deanor had none of the past arrogance and was now more serene, “Li Jingyang, I’m sorry for the trouble I caused you before. Rest assured, I promise I will never bother you again. However—”
Her gaze suddenly sharpened, her whole aura becoming fierce, “Because of your so-called ‘joke’, you drove a young girl of blooming age to jump into a river. Sothing like this, I simply can’t forgive, no matter what.”
She wasn’t the Zhong Niangyao of before, so she couldn’t make decisions on behalf of the other.
“Zhong Niangyao, what kind of ga are you playing now?” Li Jingyang looked at Zhong Niangyao with undisguised disgust in his eyes, “Let tell you, you’d better not be playing coy. I don’t have ti to entertain these ‘playing hard to get’ gas here.”
“Shut your mouth.” Old Sir Zhong couldn’t stand it any longer and bluntly spoke up, “Li Jingyang, what do you think you are? How dare you speak to Yaoyao like that?”
“You think too highly of yourself.” Zhong Niangyao looked toward Li Jingyang, who exuded an aura of impatience, with a mocking smile, “Don’t waste words here. If you truly want to apologize, then go jump in the river yourself, then we’ll be even.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Sisi’s face imdiately stiffened.
Li Jingyang responded as if he had heard a joke, retorting directly, “You want to jump into the river—do you think you are soone important?”
Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong, however, imdiately bead with joy.
Old Sir Zhong spoke back sharply, with a sardonic tone, “Looks like this apology isn’t coming from the heart after all!”
“If you’re not happy, then get out!” Old Madam Zhong was more direct.
Chen Sisi wanted to say sothing, but she was ushered out by the bodyguard called in by Old Madam Zhong.
As he was leaving, Li Jingyang dropped a threatening remark, “Zhong Niangyao, you will regret this!”
“Nonsense!” Old Sir Zhong harshly cursed at the retreating figure at the door.
Having left the sickroom, Chen Sisi began to incessantly criticize Li Jingyang. This made him feel imnsely annoyed.
“Jingyang, I am your biological mother; I wouldn’t harm you. Marrying Zhong Niangyao will be greatly beneficial for your future.”
“Mom, stop talking,” Li Jingming wasn’t swayed, “I will never be with Zhong Niangyao.”
As he spoke, the image of soone in a white dress surfaced in his mind.
Unwittingly, a warm smile appeared on Li Jingming’s face.
“Jingyang, do you already have soone you like?”
A mother knows her child best. After seeing the smile on Li Jingming’s face, Chen Sisi suddenly beca very vigilant, “Let tell you, the person who becos your other half can only be a daughter from a reputable family.”
