I sighed deliberately. âI heard Jing Tian has known that young lady since they were young. In fact, they were kidnapped together. They had gone through a lot. Jing Tian must be telling you the truth when he said he didnât like her, because if he did, wouldnât he have married her a long time ago?â
Madam Jing looked at me.
I continued, âJing Tian and my little uncle have been living overseas. They have studied and started their careers together. Lately, Old Master Jing called Jing Tian back to the country. Not long after that, my little uncle also returned. Jing Tian bought the villa next door and then he recommended my uncle to buy this villa next to his.â
Madam Jingâs face was dark.
I sighed again, âMy parents died when I was six. My eldest uncle took my fatherâs property and pretended to adopt me. However, I was constantly abused by my eldest aunt and cousin. That continued until Jing Tian saw me by chance. He saved me from that awful household. After my little uncle returned, he bought back my custody right with a huge sum of money. Then I finally moved here. Back at my eldest uncleâs place, I was forced to live inside the storage room that didnât have a window.â
Madam Jingâs eyes watered.
âMadam Jing, Jing Tian is my savior, and my little uncle is my only relative. I will not leave them no matter what. Iâd rather the rumors settle on me than have the unsightly rumors target my little uncle and Jing Tian. Madam, can you understand that?â
Madam Jingâs gaze softened.
âIâm appreciative that Madam Jing is willing to give me a house but I donât have need of all that. I was raised in a storage room, do I really need a big house to myself?â I asked sincerely.
To my surprise, Madam Jing shook her head.
Internally, I sighed in relief.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âAre they... really like you said?â She asked me in fear.
I pondered for a moment. âMadam Jing, I believe the rumors you heard are spread by that same young lady to force Jing Tian to marry her. But Jing Tian is your son. Are you going to force him to marry someone he doesnât love and make him suffer for the rest of his life?â
âOf course not!â Madam Jing blurted out.
I nodded. âI agree. Madam Jing, you shouldnât believe those hearsay. You should believe your son. Furthermore, I have noticed that even Jing Tianâs father doesnât love Jing Tian as much as you do, right? Perhaps heâs standing on the outside, trying to force Jing Tian into the marriage too.â
Old Master Jing, you canât blame me for doing this. Since youâve made a move, I have to counter.
Madam Jing nodded in agreement. âYouâre right! He has so many sons and Jing Tian is only one of them! He must have been fooled by others and intended to sell my Jing Tian out! That bastard, I will never forgive him!â
All mothers in the world are the same. As blissfully ignorant as Madam Jing was, her love for Jing Tian was real. If it was for her son, she was willing to sacrifice herself.
I felt guilty because I had given her such blatant lies but I couldnât take back what I had said.
Sigh, why is my life so difficult?
