190 Completely Fallen for Her 18 (2/2)

”Okay.”

An Xiaoning hurriedly proceeded to take a shower, during which she constantly pondered over what Jin Qingyan said to her. She could not help but feel a little happy and touched by his words, which kept running through her mind.

However, she could not cave in, no matter what.

She did not wish to return to that home ever again.

Neither did she want to face his family again. Never again!

Jin Qingyan drove away from the boot camp with a smile hanging from his lips.

Although there was still no progress in the end, he had at least managed to let his innermost thoughts out to her. He did not feel like he had lost his pride or embarrassed himself; instead, he was rather elated somehow.

He did not know where he had derived such joy from. All he knew was that he was in high spirits.

He arrived at the gate of his house, only to be greeted with the sight of his mother's car, in which sat the chauffeur.

By the time he entered after parking his car in the garage, Mrs. Jin was already sitting in the living room.

”Qingyan, the matter involving your sister and Shi Shaochuan is getting way out of hand. Can't you just do something about it? I hear about this matter everywhere I go, be it the nail salon, a mahjong session, or even just a casual tea session with my friends. It's really getting on my nerves,” said a frustrated Mrs. Jin.

”How am I supposed to stop it? The video was already saved by many netizens. The person who created this mess should be the one bearing the responsibility of addressing the issues. Now that we're on this topic, I actually feel pretty embarrassed to be implicated in this matter. So, Mother, please tell them not to show up in front of me for the next few months.” Seeming to have remembered something, he added, ”By the way, Mother, I don't have any intentions of finding myself another woman. Please stop trying to set me up with another woman.”

”Qingyan…”

”I'm beat, I'm going upstairs to get some rest.”

Mrs. Jin had no choice but to leave reluctantly after making a wasted trip.

All of a sudden, she was filled with an inexplicable rage and instructed the chauffeur to head towards the Shi family home.

Upon noticing her arrival, Jin Qingyue quickly prepared herself mentally to face the music.

”Mother…”

”You actually still remember that I'm your mother. You've disgraced us completely!” Mrs. Jin hollered as she stepped forward to give Jin Qingyue a tight slap across her face with all her might.

”It was all Shaochuan's fault, he was the one who forced me to go. I didn't want to at all. Mother, we'll have another baby once the matter begins to blow over. Why are you here at this hour?” said Jin Qingyue.

”I just came from your brother's place. He told me to inform you and Shaochuan not to appear in front of him for the next few months. He's infuriated as well.”

”Why is he acting like that? Forget it, I just won't see him then.” Jin Qingyue then gestured for the servant and instructed, ”Bring me the cake.”

”Why are you eating dessert at night? You're going to put on weight,” Mrs. Jin chided.

”I'm almost bored to death. How am I supposed to vent my frustration if I'm not even allowed to eat whatever I want? I'm so thin, it won't make a difference to put on a few pounds,” Jin Qingyue said nonchalantly.

”You've really grown up, not listening to your mother's words anymore, eh? Whatever, I don't care anymore. I'm going home.”

”Okay, take care,” said Jin Qingyan, stuffing herself silly with the cake using a fork while sipping on some beverage. She, too, was furious at the way things had turned out, for she did not want it to happen either.

Her blood began to boil the more she thought about it. She felt indignant to have been attacked with such criticism and hate from netizens online.

It seemed that eating and stuffing herself with food was the only outlet for her frustration.
