Chapter 1119 (1/2)
Chapter 258 - Shen Jingyi's Situation
”Mom, let me tell you the truth. Someone like Tan Tiefeng has been spoiled since he was young. I definitely won't be able to get along with someone like him. Don't waste your time on this, okay?” Shen Jingyi said helplessly.
How could she like someone like Tan Tianfeng? No matter how extraordinary his talent was, no matter how powerful his strength was, what could he do?!
”What nonsense!” The middle-aged man sitting across from him reprimanded. This man was none other than Shen Jingyi's father, Shen Jiucheng.
”Jingyi, I don't want to hear any more of this from now on!” Shen Jicheng let out a cold snort, reprimanding his daughter, ”Your grandfather and your Second Master personally arranged this marriage with the Tan Family. No one can change this!”
”I don't agree!” Shen Jingyi huffed, ”This is no longer your era. If you don't respect my opinion, then the one who will suffer in the end won't be me!”
”Jingyi, how can you talk to your dad like that!” Shen Jingyi's mother quickly said.
”Humph!”
Shen Jingyi firmly said, ”Anyways, I just don't agree. You don't know about Tan Tianfeng's evil deeds. If you think about my happiness, you should seriously consider it!”
”Go back to your room immediately!” Shen Jicheng glared at him and said, ”Without my permission, you are not allowed to take even half a step outside the house!”
”... ”We'll go back then!” Shen Jingyi stomped her feet in anger and turned around to go upstairs.
Only Shen Jicheng and his wife were left in the living room. Watching his daughter enter the room, Shen Jiucheng shook his head and said, ”This girl really has a temper now. She actually dares to talk back to me!”
”Isn't that what you're used to!” Shen Jingyi's mother said, ”If you didn't pamper her that much, would she dare to talk to you like that?”
”Yes, my pet. You have no pet!” Shen Jiucheng harrumphed.
The couple looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh. Both husband and wife were doting on their daughter.
”Jiu Cheng, what Jingyi said is right. Although Tan Tianfeng is the young master of the Tan family, we still don't know much about his character.” Shen Jingyi's mother said, ”I think we should consider it more carefully.”
Shen Jicheng could not help but shake his head, and said, ”That is true, but this matter was decided by the Old Master and Second Uncle, what's the use of us thinking about it?”
”Then …”
”Actually, I also know that Tan Tianfeng has a bad character. This matter has always been weighing heavily on my heart.” Shen Jicheng said, ”But there's nothing I can do about it. After all, this marriage was decided by the old man, and it concerns the relations.h.i.+p and cooperation between the Shen and Tan families, so I can't say anything!”
”How do you know that Tan Tianfeng has a bad character?” Shen Jingyi couldn't help asking.
”Humph!” I am Jingyi's father, so of course I would pay extra attention to her matters. ” Shen Jicheng said, ”I've investigated Tan Tianfeng before. Some of his actions are really outrageous!”
”Then you …” Shen Jingyi's mother was a little confused, ”Jiucheng, we can't push Jingyi into a pit of fire just for the sake of our family, can we?” How about you go and plead with the lordmaster and see if there's still room for compromise? ”
”This won't do!”
Shen Jicheng could not help but shake his head, ”This matter is not easy to explain. It's not like you don't know the situation regarding Second Uncle, they themselves are very dissatisfied with me being the General Manager of the Shen Group, they have been wanting to seize power for a long time. Now, if there is any more problems with Jingyi's matter, they will definitely immediately make a move. I think that's what they're waiting for! ”
”These people are really something, to be betrothed to someone, why don't we let their daughter be betrothed to someone?!” When Shen Jingyi's mother heard this, she was instantly enraged. ”You put in all your effort for the sake of the Shen Corporation. They didn't even say a word of thanks. And yet, they're still thinking of how to usurp power …”
”Actually, it's not only a matter of seizing power. The mysteries contained within are hard to fully describe with a single sentence.” Shen Jicheng could not help but shake his head, ”If Jingyi is with Tan Tianfeng, then it would be extremely beneficial for a lot of people on Second Uncle's side!”
”Humph!”
Shen Jingyi's mother was very angry, ”These people are really excessive. My daughter isn't a commodity. She's not someone they can exchange with just because they said so!”
”Therefore, I must find a suitable opportunity!”
Shen Jicheng said, ”Anyways, Jingyi is still in school, so we still have time to mediate the marriage. I chased Jingyi into my room to prevent her from going out. That is, I didn't want her to speak carelessly outside and let Second Uncle and his men find out who she was … ”I will take advantage of this opportunity and think of a way!”
It was only then that Shen Jingyi's mother relaxed. She happily said, ”So that's the case, I thought …”
”Do you think I'm someone who doesn't care about Jingyi's life for the clan?” Shen Jicheng shook his head and said, ”You, Jingyi is my daughter, how can I not care about her?”
”Then you have to think of a solution as soon as possible. I heard from Jingyi that Tan Tianfeng went to the Jiang Prefecture to find her!” Shen Jingyi's mother anxiously said.
”Rest a.s.sured, I will think of a solution as soon as possible!” Shen Jicheng nodded his head, ”However, on Jingyi's side, you must take care of her. You must not let her go out this summer, and even more so don't speak nonsense in front of others. Do you understand?”
