Chapter 107: 107: Sequelae of a concussion
The Jing family was similar to the Qin family, as both owned a small villa in H city. However, the Jing bought this villa 10 years ago, which was why it looked a little old. Nonetheless, they were still considered wealthy.
Father Jing was a small real estate developer. A few years ago, when there were still a lot of empty lands available and they may not have had much money to auction large pieces of land, he could still rely on integrating several small pieces of cheap land together, developing them, then selling them for a large amount of money.
However, now that the estate development industry had become more standardized and resources were getting scarcer, the cheap land that he used to rely on was no longer available, which was why Father Jing’s business had been suffering for the past two years.
Just when their company was about to be closed down, the Zhan family came about. Not only did they provide Father Jing with a huge amount of money, the Zhan family even provided them with enough resources to help their business grow. The previous owner even gave them 500 million to support her father’s business.
This was how the Jing family managed to get back on the right track.
Therefore, when it came to Jing Qian, Father Jing’s attitude was definitely satisfactory.
Jing Qian had just got out of the car when Father Jing quickly walked up to her and greeted her warmly.
Since she was no longer the previous owner, she did not have any emotions towards this couple. They were practically strangers to her, which was why Father Jing’s greetings weren’t a big deal to her, as they were just average. Jing Qian even felt that it was a little too much.
However, Mother Jing’s attitude towards her made Jing Qian speechless.
Just when Jing Qian was being brought into the house by Father Jing, who was still smiling brightly, she saw Mother Jing, who had a grim look on her face as she sat on the couch. When she saw Jing Qian, she sneered and purposely turned around, as if Jing Qian had owed something to the Jing family.
“Oh… What is wrong with you? It’s such a rare opportunity that Qianqian gets to come home. Why is your face like that?” Father Jing turned to Jing Qian and said, “Just ignore your mother. There’s something wrong with her brains. I got Aunt Wu to prepare all of your favorite dishes. We just have to wait for Xiao Lu to be back and then we can have dinner.”
He grabbed Jing Qian and brought her to a seat in the living room, which was right opposite of Mother Jing.
“Qianqian, you have been married to the Zhan family for almost a month. How have they been treating you? I heard that you fell from the stairs that day and injured your head. What happened? How are you now?”
Seeing that Father Jing was still trying to be nice, Jing Qian decided to answer his question.
“They have been treating me well. I was trying to snatch over my phone the other day, which was why I fell off the stairs. The doctors say that I’m fine but because of it, there are a lot of minor things that I have forgotten.
“How did it happen? What did you forget? Did the doctor tell you how long it will take for you to make a full recovery?”
When she saw Father Jing’s concern-filled face, Jing Qian had a peculiar feeling in her heart.
“Why? What’s wrong?
“Since they are already things that I have forgotten, why would I know what they are? Anyways, if there’s anything that you mentioned in the past that I don’t recall, it means that those are things that I have forgotten.”
“What is with that attitude? Your father is talking nicely to you, so why are you being so rude? Did you really think that you are that incredible now, since you married into the Zhan family? Don’t you dare forget that we were the ones who birthed you and raised you. You even called your younger sister a b*tch! She is your biological sister! If she’s a b*tch, then what are you?”
“Ayyyyy, are you really that desperate to mess things up with Qianqian? Jing Lu is the one that messed up this time, so why can’t Qianqian say a thing or two about her? Everyone has their limits and temper! Why is it that Jing Lu is allowed to challenge Qianqian’s limit all the time, but it can’t be the other way round? You are the mother of both sisters; you shouldn’t be so biased!”
