Chapter 146: Good Daughter?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After being forced out of the hospital by Zhang Li, Jing Mo went to see Jing Yuan.
The father and daughter looked at each other through the gla.s.s. Jing Yuan looked haggard. She had just been interrogated by the police. She would not suffer any physical torture now, but psychological torture was inevitable.
Jing Yuan did not rest well after being brought to the police station last night. At first, she refused to admit that she had taken drugs. She did not admit that she was arrested at her house and said that she did not know. Someone must have brought the drugs to her house.
The police couldn’t be bothered to talk nonsense with her and told her the results of the urine test. It was confirmed that she had just taken drugs. Jing Yuan panicked and went crazy.
She did not cooperate with the interrogation after that. However, the police officers who interrogated her were all veterans. When they met someone like Jing Yuan, they could just find loopholes in her words and ask her. She would not be able to come up with an excuse if she crumbled under the stress.
Jing Yuan cried when she saw Jing Mo.
She was so excited that she wanted to stand up, but she was sternly stopped by the police officer sitting behind her.
It was almost a reflex. She was afraid when she heard the police’s voice. Her entire body trembled, and she sat down obediently.
She looked devastated, and her eyes were swollen. She was crying so hard that she could barely open her eyes.
“Daddy, save me. You have to save me. I don’t want to stay inside. I’ll die. Really, 1’11 die inside. Beg Mommy, okay? Beg her. She must have a way.” Jing Yuan’s voice was anxious and teary.
A look of heartache appeared on Jing Mo’s face. Other than not having his biological mother by his side, this daughter had actually been quite happy. Zhang Li treated her very well and gave her whatever she wanted. If she made a mistake, Zhang Li could not even bear to say anything harsh, let alone hit her.
She had really suffered this time.
Jing Mo sighed. “Yuanyuan, why are you tainted with such things?”
There was no regret on Jing Yuan’s face. She just said angrily, “What’s the use of saying this now? Your current mission should be to think of a way to save me. Isn’t Zhang Li’s family powerful? Go beg her and ask the Zhang Family for help. They definitely have the ability to save me.”
Jing Mo looked at Jing Yuan with a dejected expression. “1 went to look for her, but she chased me out of the hospital with a knife. This time… she probably won’t forgive me.”
Jing Yuan was stunned for a moment before she glared at Jing Mo. “That won’t happen. Didn’t she like you the most? Back then, you had nothing and she was willing to follow you. She cares about you, but she’s too angry now. Just apologize to her. If she doesn’t forgive you, kneel in front of her and beg her. That way, she will definitely forgive you.”
Jing Mo suddenly fell silent. This was his good daughter. She was selfish and only thought of herself. If you could give her benefits, she would get close to you. If you couldn’t, her att.i.tude would change.
Just like now, Jing Yuan could easily ask him to kneel down and beg Zhang Li.
She clearly knew that this was what he hated the most. Zhang Li was a pampered young lady. Every time the two of them interacted, he would have the illusion that Zhang Li looked down on him.
It was only when Jingxuan was officially listed that he felt a little proud. Jing Yuan wanted him to lose the dignity that he had risked his life to pick up.
Why was Jing Yuan like this?
Xuan Ling was clearly not like this. Xuan Ling was so understanding back then. She knew his ambitions and was even willing to follow him without any status. She even risked her life to give birth to a daughter for him.
At the thought of Xuan Ling, Jing Mo instantly lost his temper. He looked at Jing Yuan and said firmly, “Yuanyuan, don’t worry. Daddy will save you.”
Jing Yuan nodded with tears in her eyes. The madness from before was gone, and she seemed to have returned to being her obedient daughter. She said softly, “Thank you, Daddy.”
Jing Mo looked at her with a complicated expression.
After leaving the police station, Jing Mo suddenly realized that he couldn’t even go home now.
Jing Yuan and her friends were taking drugs at home. Their house was sealed yesterday.
Fortunately, he had secretly bought a house for Xuan Ling outside. At that time, he did not have much spare money and did not dare to buy anything too expensive. He could only buy a two-bedroom house.
The house had been very old for more than 20 years, but he had never sold it. Sometimes, when he was wronged by Zhang Li, he would come back here and sit in the living room to smoke a cigarette to calm his emotions..
