I Refuse to Be a Supporting Character
Chapter 107: Jing Family Conflict (2)
After hearing the ridicule from the elder's words, Jing Hao's face showed a slight change. He said, “He's just a vile dog, he can't do anything.”
“Shut!” Mr. Jing shouted furiously. “Are your eyes covered in dirt?”
Old Master Jing's blood boiled to the point where he didn't care about etiquette when reprimanding this grandson. He did not know how this young man had lost the behavior he deserved to be raised all this time.
Old master Jing looked at his grandson in disappointment. For Mu Mingcheng to strike back unexpectedly in a matter of days, the enemy's abilities could truly be seen.
It is okay for men to be jealous, but one should not lose a healthy judgment due to pettiness. In order for Jing Hao to be so easily influenced by personal feelings, how could he be convinced to hand over Jing's company to this grandson?
Meanwhile, the other descendants of the Jing family were delighted when they saw Jing Hao being reprimanded. For so many years, Old Master Jing had only spoiled this young man; no one from any other branch of the family could lift a single finger. After being suppressed by Jing Hao for so long, now was their chance to turn things around. Some people had already lit a fire in their eyes, wanting to give it a try.
The old man's words caused Jing Hao's face to turn blue. Still, Jing Hao's gloomy eyes swept across the room toward the audience enjoying the drama. The spectators could not help but retreat in shock.
Over the years, Jing Hao's overbearing momentum had conditioned them to submit subconsciously.
When Old Master Jing saw this scene, he sighed in his heart. Where else could he find good materials among his younger generation to help support the wall?
“I really did not try to provoke Mu Mingcheng,” Jing Hao retracted his gaze and replied to his grandfather firmly. “But now, he won't let us go.”
“I know.” Old master Jing didn't know whether to believe it or not, but he obviously didn't want to talk more about the topic. “You still have to break up with that girl from the Cheng family. Didn't Miss Li always like you? You call her and get engaged as soon as possible.”
Little rabbits always want to bite fat carrots. Their Jing Family is not a rookie without roots. Since Mu Mingcheng was unwilling to shake hands and reconcile with their families, why not fight well?
The Li Family was one of the top families in the Imperial Capital, with a legacy passed down for generations. In the current generation, they only had a single daughter. If their son was engaged to this princess, the Li family would have to stand in the same boat as them.
Jing Hao opened his mouth, but he did not say a word to refute.
The current situation of the Jing family is extremely dangerous. With outsiders waiting to watch a good drama, who would want to help? Marrying Li's family was certainly the best option.
Jing Ruo, who was hiding outside the door, quietly pursed her lips upon hearing the conversation inside. Especially when the old man started scolding Jing Hao loudly, he was almost driven to enter and admit his mistake.
But he can't. Outsiders referred to her as the Jing family's favorite daughter.
Little did he know that he was spoiled by Old Master Jing so that he could use it as a wedding item. All the prestige spread abroad related to his status is only to increase the weight of his marriage.
There may be a bit of sincerity when they indulge him, but all that can be left to meet the needs of his family.
On the day of the banquet, he hid in a corner and watched the entire scene of how his eldest brother was bullied by the couple.
In the memories of Jing Ruo, his elder brother Jing Hao, heir to the Jing family, had always been a proud son of heaven, shining brightly. When is he someone who submits to others and begs for forgiveness?
Even if the enemy was someone who could not be provoked.
What made him sad was that his brother would suffer such humiliation to protect another woman.
The despicable woman had been storing enemy paintings for nearly a decade, how could her brother bear with a woman obsessed with another?
Because of this, Jing Ruo was looking for a powerful friend that she knew when she studied abroad. This foreign friend, who admired the eastern culture, had once confessed to Jing Ruo but was rejected.
