Chapter 758: Chapter 507: Making a Scene
The second watch of the night has arrived.
——————–
“Wang Jing, don’t act like everyone owes you something,” Wang Jun snorted coldly, “It was you who chose to leave home and live with your aunt. In truth, it was you who abandoned us! Originally, if you had stayed to take care of me, Mom could have gone to work and earned an extra income for the family. Big sister and second sister wouldn’t have had to drop out of school and now struggle to find decent jobs!
But you, for your own comfort, deliberately did a shoddy job, infuriated Mom, and then badmouthed her to our aunt to get yourself taken away. Where were you when we were eating chaff and swallowing vegetables, suffering cold and hunger?
You go around complaining that Dad and Mom abandoned you, isn’t it just because you don’t want to support them in their old age? But don’t forget, even if you lived with your aunt, you are still Dad’s daughter, and he raised you until you were nearly ten.
Now, Dad’s movements are restricted, and as his daughter, shouldn’t you repay the favor of the care he provided for the first ten years of your life? If you dare to neglect this, I’ll make sure you’ll never be able to face anyone again!”
Wang Jun’s voice was loud, attracting the nearby office doctors and nurses to come out and watch the commotion, alongside curious patients and their families craning their necks.
Clearly, this was the effect Wang Jun wanted; he was using this method to coerce Wang Jing.
Wang Jing was well aware of Wang Jun’s shamelessness, not just from today, so while he spoke, she didn’t stop him or appear particularly angry, but simply listened with a smile.
Now that he had finished, she smiled and said, “Done?”
“Not yet.”
“Then continue,” Wang Jing said with a smile to the onlookers, “Making everyone happy is my honor.” Saying this, she looked apologetically at Cheng Guo and said in a lower voice, “Sorry for dragging you into this mess.”
“It’s nothing,” Cheng Guo tightened his grip on her hand, “I’ll see it through with you to the end.”
“Tsk, tsk…” Wang Jun clapped his hands, “Showing off your love here? Wang Jing, don’t forget that Dad has already arranged a marriage for you. If you find another man now, you are forcing Dad to lose face.
He is already bedridden, and if you push him any further, you know what the outcome could be, right? You are well aware that the Qiao Family has already sent the wedding invitation. Consider your actions carefully—if you wish to be responsible for Dad’s death, go ahead and find another man.”
Chuxia arrived at the doorway and gently tugged Wang Jing, a hint of worry in her eyes. She had not anticipated that the situation would escalate to this extent; otherwise, she would have called everyone into the room to talk earlier. Now, however, bystanders had come to watch.
Wang Jing smiled at Chuxia, then turned to Wang Jun, “When you showed up, I knew you were here to pressure me. That’s why I was prepared to make everything public.”
Indeed, I’ve always been quite insecure since childhood because everyone else had parents who loved them, and I didn’t. Thankfully, my aunt pitied me and took me in, giving me a sense of family warmth.
However, even though I knew my aunt was good to me, I still doubted her. I’ve been used too many times and couldn’t trust anyone, even after I started working, I couldn’t trust anyone.
Friends and colleagues who were close to me gradually drifted away. While I was upset about my behavior, I couldn’t help but want to protect my own position.
It wasn’t until I met Lin Chuxia that I saw what I was lacking in me. I’ve been trying to become more magnanimous and broaden my perspectives. In fact, I have indeed changed significantly from how I used to be.
When Dad was taken to the hospital, many colleagues saw it, and afterward, they didn’t bring it up in front of me. I knew they didn’t want to embarrass me. But today, with you making a scene here, if I continue to be considerate, I would probably live in perpetual fear for the rest of my life.
Therefore, I choose to expose my scars and squeeze out the pus. It will hurt, but after this one time, there will be no more problems. A scar will remain, but those who truly like me won’t mind that scar.
You and our sibling came here today simply to force me to comply, to marry a man who can bring benefits to you. The so-called arranged marriage is just an excuse for you.
Dad told me himself that he never arranged any betrothal for me. Before, he was deluded by your instigations. But now, he has regretted it and decided not to force me anymore.
And don’t always threaten me with Dad’s health. He’s my father as well as yours, the father who raised you. Dad raised me until I was ten, and I’ll take up my responsibilities. But Dad raised you for over twenty years, so you must also fulfill your responsibilities.”
