Chapter 114 - 114 114 Damn it thats how a mother should be

?Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Damn it, that’s how a mother should be dominant! Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Damn it, that’s how a mother should be dominant! Chen Jing had been quiet throughout, seating off to one side. Under normal circumstances, she would have undoubtedly been upset by Zhu Zhizhou’s embarrassment. However, she strangely felt that what was happening to him was just as he said himself – he was reaping what he had sowed!

It all seemed like a case of self-inflicted woes.

Chen Jing actually had little understanding of the causes and consequences of Zhu Zhizhou’s injury by Ji Huan.

Although she had been taking care of Zhu Zhizhou in the hospital for several days, he hadn’t said a word about the whole incident, remaining unspeakably reticent.

From a few words spoken by Ji family father and son, it was not hard to see that Ji Huan also didn’t seem to have given a detailed account of the incident.

But even if Ji Huan didn’t say it, couldn’t the shrewd Ji family imagine what happened?

Chen Jing rarely saw Zhu Zhizhou looking so embarrassed, as if he was pressed to blush, and in the end, he had no choice but to acknowledge his mistake from that day.

“I just… I was worried about Xiao Yu! I heard that Xiao Yu had a boyfriend, and as a father, hearing that her boyfriend was in L City, I just wanted to fulfil my fatherly duty to protect her by checking out this boyfriend of hers and see if he passes the grade.”

Upon hearing this from Zhu Zhizhou, Le Tong, who had been observing coldly from the sidelines, was now unwilling to put up with it.

“Mr Zhu, from your words, it seems as though my younger son’s character is horrendous.”

Zhu Zhizhou looked horrified, and waved his hands to defend himself,”Of course not, of course not.”

“Then what? The base in L City, who doesn’t know it belongs to our Ji Family? And, who doesn’t know that the person in charge of the base is my youngest son, Ji Huan?”

Le Tong appeared very young, but rumor had it she was already in her late forties. Chen Jing felt that Le Tong looked even younger than her.

Furthermore, Le Tong’s queenly air and aura made even Chen Jing, a bystander, feel a chill run down her spine. What more for Zhu Zhizhou, who was under her direct attack?

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, “President Le, of course I know…”

“Since you knew that was my youngest son, yet you publicly made life difficult for him, are you looking down on the Ji Family? Or do you think that Ji Rui and I would raise our children into worthless playboys?”

Le Tong’s imposing manner was no less formidable than the elder Young Master Ji.

An insult to Zhu Zhizhou was also an indirect insult to his son, insinuating they were all worthless playboys.

Chen Jing learned something new. So this is how a mother would protect her children – with such dominating presence!

On the other hand, how does she compare…
Chen Jing was deeply remorseful and began to reflect on herself.

“President Le, you misunderstood…” Zhu Zhizhou was still sweating profusely and Zhu Junzhao hadn’t even had a chance to interject throughout the entire conversation.

Le Tong glossed over the topic with a forced laugh, “I misunderstood? I think you’re the one who misunderstood.”

Zhu Zhizhou could only agree, “Yes, yes, yes. I misunderstood. I thought Young Master Ji wasn’t being sincere with my daughter, and so I said some harsh words.”

Le Tong laughed a bit more, “Mr Zhu, you can rest assured on that. My Xiao Huan, like his father, is absolutely devoted to his girlfriend and wife, leaving no room for Principle. However, this disregard for principle only applies to his girlfriend. For others, he is quite principled. Especially when someone’s bullying his girlfriend, he will retaliate countless times over.”

Le Tong’s words made Zhu Zhizhou involuntarily shudder. However, they warmed Chen Jing’s heart.

Although she has hardly had any dealings with the Le Tong family, from Le Tong’s tone when mentioning Xiao Yu, she could sense that the Ji family greatly cherished her daughter. They cared a lot more for her than she did as a mother, making her feel increasingly ashamed. But at the same time, she was delighted for her younger daughter!

“President Le, why would you say that… Xiao Yu is my daughter, how would I dare to bully her?” Zhu Zhizhou appeared quite nervous while saying this.

Le Tong smiled in a way that could also be read as nonchalance, “Hmm. I too believe that you won’t pick on her.”

Zhu Zhizhou let out a slight sigh of relief. But just then, Le Tong continued.

“So, to prove that you’ll never oppress Xiao Yu, we should take advantage of the fact that the parents from both sides are here today for you to make a pledge: you will never use Xiao Yu’s marriage as a bargain chip. After all, we have the matter of our Young Master Yan and Xiao Yu’s elder sister behind us as a lesson. Like the Yans, even if the Ji family and the Zhu family truly become relatives, we will not get involved in any interest matters.”

With Le Tong’s remark, Zhu Zhizhou was so taken aback that he lost his footing and nearly fell over. Luckily, Zhu Junzhao, who was beside him, acted promptly to support him, sparing him from the embarrassment of falling over.

Chen Jing watched Zhu Zhizhou’s pitiful appearance with cold eyes, and felt even colder in her heart.

How did she not notice in the past, that her daughter, whom she had brought up with much toil, had been made a bargaining chip for interest by Zhu Zhizhou and his son?

She was even duped by Zhu Zhizhou, thinking that it would be a blessing for her eldest daughter Ying’er to marry a man like Young Master Yan.

Now, however, she was deeply worried for her eldest daughter.

After all, the situation of her eldest daughter and Young Master Yan is completely different from that of her younger daughter and Ji Huan!

Xiao Yu and Ji Huan are in a relationship by mutual consent. But Ying’er and Young Master Yan…

If it weren’t for Zhu Zhizhou’s promise to Young Master Yan of a two Hundred Million betrothal gift, with one hundred million of it as a reward, Ying’er would never have participated in Young Master Yan’s selection event!

In other words, Ying’er, in fact, sold herself at a fixed price for her mother and Xiao Yu’s better future!

The more Chen Jing thought, the more she was shocked.

The more she thought, the more she felt pained.

The more she thought, the more heartbroken she felt!

Zhu Zhizhou, who was heavily criticized by Le Tong, finally recovered and struggled to muster a smile.

“President Ji, President Le, didn’t Xiao Yu and Young Master Ji just start dating not long ago? Isn’t it a bit early to talk about marriage?”

At this point, President Ji, who had been resting for a while, took over the conversation.

“Early? I thought the reason for Zhu Zhizhou’s visit today was about the marriage of Xiao Huan and Xiao Yu.”

Zhu Zhizhou looked exceedingly embarrassed when his motive was exposed.

Zhu Zhizhou wasn’t a fool; he could see from the Ji Family’s aggressive stance that this was not a good time to negotiate. Having experienced the Ji Family’s fighting prowess, Zhu Zhizhou no longer carried his initial momentum. The combined power of the three individuals on his side was not even enough to handle one individual from the other party. What to say of a three versus three?

“President Ji, you misunderstood. Our visit today is merely for a routine parents meeting, and it has nothing to do with the marriage of Xiao Yu and Young Master Ji.”

Le Tong nodded, “Yes, you’re right. Marriage is a major event, and it should be decided by them. They shouldn’t get married just because we, as parents, want them to. They should get married only if they want to. Since we are having a typical parents meeting, we should have at the very least scheduled it over the phone, and found a proper place to have a good chat. It doesn’t seem right to discuss matters of such a personal nature in a business setting.”
