Chapter 120: 120: I belong to the Zhan family
Mother Jing’s heart trembled when she heard Jing Qian’s bone-chilling voice. However, at the next moment, the uniquely charming smile appeared on Jing Qian’s face once again.
“Well, you better take note. I am a jinx child, which means that I will bring bad luck to this family. From now onwards, please tell your daughter to stop asking me for my compositions, since they are shoddy anyway and she still has to polish them even after taking it from me. It would be better if she could just compose it herself. It would have a better effect this way.”
“You-!”
Jing Lu’s face turned pale.
“Also, since I am a jinx child, please do not look for me if anything happens to this family. I wouldn’t want to bring bad luck to this blissful family. Since all of you are so righteous and so brilliant, if you need money, you should earn it with your bare hands.
“Don’t think that you will be able to live on with such luxuries after selling your daughter to another family. The Jing family business has already been saved once. I would not be giving this family any more money, which is why you would have to depend on yourselves.”
Father Jing had turned into a mute person at this point while Mother Jing’s eyes widened in shock and even her pitch was an octave higher.
“What do you mean?”
“Just the literal meaning of it. Everyone says that getting married is like being born once again. Therefore, please excuse me. You have already sold off your eldest daughter. She is dead now and has been reborn into the Zhan family. Please stop thinking about her or the things that she has, because it will bring you bad luck due to thinking about a jinx child.”
“You… You’re such…”
Mother Jing pointed at Jing Qian. She was usually really good at talking, but she realized that there was nothing that was coming out of her mouth.
“Me? What’s wrong with me? Oh… Didn’t you say that once I step out of this house, I would have no relations with any of you here and you would not take me as your daughter? Well, look where I’m standing now? I’m already out of this house, which means that I am no longer your daughter.”
“Nonsense! You can’t do this! I gave birth to you! You will be my daughter for the rest of my life, till the day you die! You have to listen to me your entire life! Whatever I tell you to, you have to do it! I am asking you to immediately return the role to Jing Lu! Give her the second female lead and return Qin Yi’s first male lead to him!”
“Stop it!”
Father Jing had realized that something wasn’t right. The cold look that was inside of Jing Qian’s eyes was so terrifying, even his heart had frozen by just looking at it. Therefore, he had to stop Mother Jing from talking.
“Why should I? I only said a few things. Did you hear how she was talking back to me? Does she even take me as her mother?!”
“No,” Jing Qian answered without any hesitation.
Neither Mother nor Father Jing expected Jing Qian to reply to the rhetorical question.
“You have already sold me to the Zhan family, and I am one of them now. I am no longer part of the Jing family.”
Mother Jing’s eyes widened, and she said to Father Jing, “Listen to her! Why is she speaking like this?!”
“Well, I’m just speaking like a normal human being!”
“Hmph! I’m the one who gave birth to you and raised you! How could you treat me this way? Do you think that you’re still a human? You’re a monster!”
“A monster allowed you to continue living the luxurious life by sacrificing herself and agreeing to marry into the Zhan family? You are such a lucky woman.
“Then, I hope that you’ll be able to meet people like Jing Lu, who is of no value and only loves being a burden to others. Oh, also, since I am just a monster that you have raised and you have already sold this monster to the Zhan family, please settle it amongst yourself and do not come looking for me. Since I am only a daughter to you if I obey your commands, and once I don’t, I am a monster.
“That’s alright, I am one. However, I’m also a monster that has rabies and will suddenly bite anyone of you, especially the one who’s born with a congenital condition, which only becomes worse if she doesn’t get what she wants. Please stay away from me when you see me in the future. Otherwise, all of you might just get sick, one after another.”
