Chi Jingyan Had Someone Kidnap Jiang Mengyu.
Chi Jingyan did indeed have a huge argument with her mother.
From the time she became sensible until now, she had never had such a tense falling-out with her mother.
This was the first time.
Mrs. Chi couldn’t understand it. Sitting on the sofa, she gasped for breath, her vision darkening intermittently. “What on earth do you see in that Alpha?”
Chi Jingyan’s expression tightened. “Then what do you see in Chu Muyao?”
“Jiang Mengyu is a good person. This is between her and me, there’s no need for you to worry about it.”
“Mom, do you also want to follow others in playing the villain and breaking us apart, making the family discordant?”
Mrs. Chi never expected her to speak to her like this. Her eyes reddened with anger. “Fine, I admit I was the one who sent someone to talk to Jiang Mengyu.”
“But if she truly liked you enough, how could she give up so easily without even trying to hold on?”
Deep down, Chi Jingyan actually thought the same way, but she didn’t show it in front of her mother. Instead, she defended Jiang Mengyu: “You know very well how hurtful the things you had Assistant Zhou say were.”
“Who wouldn’t be upset hearing that?”
“We were doing just fine, why did you have to interfere?”
Chi Jingyan was genuinely heartbroken and furious.
She had barely managed to resolve the issue with her grandfather, and just when she thought she could finally be with Jiang Mengyu openly, her mother started opposing them and ended up pushing Jiang Mengyu to the point of complete despair.
If not for her mother’s meddling, none of this would have happened between her and Jiang Mengyu.
These words were overheard by Mr. Chi, who had hurried back home. His face darkened, and he raised his hand, slapping Chi Jingyan across the face. “Chi Jingyan, is this how I taught you to speak to your mother?”
A red mark quickly bloomed on Chi Jingyan’s cheek. She stood stubbornly in place, neither dodging nor making a sound.
Her silence only made Mrs. Chi anxious. “We were just talking, why did you have to hit her?”
Mr. Chi also felt some regret, but seeing Chi Jingyan speak to her mother like this over an Alpha, he was both disappointed and heartbroken.
“From the time you were little until now, we’ve hardly ever restrained you. We’ve given you everything you wanted but this is the one thing we can’t allow.”
“Have you forgotten your grandfather’s expectations for you?”
Chi Jingyan met his gaze fearlessly. “How strange, you actually listen to Grandfather now.”
“If this is Grandfather’s demand, then let him tell me himself.”
As long as Old Master Chi hadn’t openly opposed it, it meant the matter was still negotiable.
Mr. Chi: “…”
The old man was still lying unconscious in the ICU, how could he come and tell her himself?
“In any case, you and that Alpha are absolutely not allowed!”
Chi Jingyan’s stubbornness flared up. The more they forbade her, the more she wanted to defy them.
“But I want to be with her. No matter what you say, my mind won’t change.”
Mr. Chi was livid.
To him, Chi Jingyan now seemed like a naive fool led astray by some rogue. He couldn’t fathom what was so special about that Alpha to make Chi Jingyan so infatuated.
Just as Mr. Chi was about to say more, Mrs. Chi, who had calmed down, interrupted him.
Mother Chi shook her head at him before turning her gaze to Chi Jingyan. “Jingyan, Mom isn’t trying to force you. I just don’t want you to regret it in the future.”
“Life is always full of countless surprises,” Chi Jingyan remained unmoved by the emotional appeal. “I don’t even know how long I’ll live. Why should I give up the happiness right in front of me for something that might never happen?”
Mother Chi was left speechless.
Neither could convince the other, and the conversation ended in discord.
However, Chi Jingyan wasn’t skipping classes because her mother forbade her from leaving the house. Ever since that day, she had been feeling weak and listless, as if she were constantly ill.
Chi Jingyan didn’t want to return to the apartment, it was filled with Jiang Mengyu’s presence. Whenever she stayed there alone, she was overwhelmed by a sense of loneliness and emptiness.
As for attending classes, the thought of completely breaking things off with Jiang Mengyu made her resistant to even stepping foot on campus. She knew Jiang Mengyu had been doing just fine these past few days, and no one at school had given her any trouble.
That heartless jerk!
Chi Jingyan angrily punched the pillow in her lap.
Could it be that Jiang Mengyu truly felt no trace of lingering affection?
Chi Jingyan kept replaying the events of the past few days in her mind. When she had left the hotel that last time, what had Jiang Mengyu been thinking as she watched her walk away?
Would she regret it?
These thoughts weighed heavily on Chi Jingyan, making it hard to breathe. Whether her eyes were open or closed, her mind was filled with Jiang Mengyu even her dreams were haunted by her.
In just a few short days, she seemed to have grown noticeably haggard.
Mother Chi saw it all and ached for her.
By the third day, she could no longer hold back and knocked on Chi Jingyan’s door.
“Jingyan, Mom has something to say to you.”
Chi Jingyan opened the door. Her face was unusually pale, her lips devoid of any color. “If this is about Jiang Mengyu, my stance hasn’t changed. Don’t waste your breath.”
She hadn’t left not because she had compromised, but because she still lacked the courage to face Jiang Mengyu.
But letting Jiang Mengyu walk away just like that? Chi Jingyan couldn’t do it. The thought of Jiang Mengyu falling for someone else in the future was unbearable.
Deep down, Chi Jingyan knew her words that day had mostly been out of spite. The best proof was that she had carefully read every message Zhou Heng had sent her these past few days.
Otherwise, how would she know that heartless liar Jiang Mengyu was doing just fine?
Mother Chi sighed. “I’ll say this one last time. If you still insist, then I really won’t interfere anymore.”
Chi Jingyan turned her face away, silent, but not refusing to engage.
Mother Chi looked at her with heartache. “Mom knows this is your first time liking someone. It’s only natural that you can’t let go. Your father and I were too hasty before, we didn’t consider your feelings.”
“But Jingyan, you may be certain of your own feelings, but can you be sure hers are the same?”
Her mother’s words struck right at Chi Jingyan’s deepest fears. She pressed her lips together, her expression even stiffer than before.
Mother Chi shook her head. “Zhou Heng will probably tell you soon. I know you’ll blame me again for acting on my own, but I just wanted to help you confirm her feelings for you.”
Chi Jingyan’s heart tightened. What did her mother mean by that? Had she sent someone after Jiang Mengyu again?
Just as the thought crossed her mind, her phone buzzed twice in her pocket. Chi Jingyan opened WeChat in front of her mother, and when she saw the message from Zhou Heng, her breath hitched.
[There’s a girl who sounds just like you who entered the elevator.]
[Miss Jiang asked for her WeChat on her own.]
Attached was a video clip, clearly taken from the elevator’s surveillance footage.
When Chi Jingyan saw Jiang Mengyu actively calling out to that person and asking if they could add each other as friends, she could no longer control her emotions. Her eyes reddened as she clenched her phone tightly.
That bastard Jiang Mengyu!
The morning dawned unusually clear.
After washing up, Jiang Mengyu headed straight to school.
She had already checked out of the hotel room, which puzzled System 031.
[Host, you haven’t found a place to stay yet. Isn’t it too early to check out now?]
“No rush,” Jiang Mengyu replied, taking the medicine Chi Jingyan had bought for her as well.
