Chapter 622: 622: I Don’t Want the Company
“I just feel heartbroken. As parents, how could they be so biased? Jing Lu had everything and I had nothing. I finally found something that I liked and she still wanted to talk it away from me, even when she didn’t like it. As long as it was something that she wanted, they would want me to give it to her. I have been giving her everything, but their injustice and favoritism made me feel as if it was the end of the world.”
Jing Jie looked at Jinqian in shock. Then, he grabbed his sister’s hands and said, “Sister… I’m so sorry.”
Jinqian smiled and said, “Why are you apologizing? You’re not them.”
Jing Jie bit onto his lips.
“They’re… Not your parents.”
“They already told you that?”
Jinqian was a little surprised. From what she knew, the Jing couple wouldn’t willingly break this news to them.
Jing Jie didn’t know how to explain it and continued biting onto his lips.
“Actually, you should not be affected by what they did. I used to be angry and sad as well, but soon after that, when I stopped caring about what they did, I wasn’t as affected anymore. After that, when I found out they weren’t actually my parents, I felt much better.
“They were just selfish people naturally. The only reason why they did this is not that they don’t want you as their son. They knew that I would be here for you and would always care for you. So, when they pa.s.sed on the bankrupt company to you, they expected that I would be there to help you. As long as I do that, the Zhan family will be able to help the Jing Ren Company out of its current troubles.
“As for Jing Lu, they had just bought the new piece of land with her name. If the company becomes bankrupt, they will lose that piece of land. In order to prevent that from happening, they would have to draw themselves away from you. Once you’re no longer their son, the company would then be your problem and not theirs. It has nothing to do with them and would not be Jing Lu’s problem either.
“In the end, Jing Lu would end up with the money and you would still have the company. Although this was just a company that is facing bankruptcy, I would still help you. If that happened, you would have the money as well. For them, this is not them abandoning you. This is the only way for them to win. If you think about it this way, you won’t be as sad as you are now.”
Jing Jie looked at Jinqian and said, “I don’t want the company… I don’t want you to help me either.”
The company wasn’t something that he wanted.
He obviously knew what his parents were thinking. They knew that they weren’t as smart as his elder sister, which was why they wanted to use him to pressure his elder sister.
He felt that his parents were heartless people. In order to pressure his elder sister, they were willing to sacrifice their biological son.
Jinqian looked at Jing Jie and said, “If I don’t, the company under your name will go bankrupt soon. Your brother-in-law is the one that ordered the suppliers to stop providing the materials. Your father has been working at the company for years. Are you willing to see it being closed down?”
Jing Jie was struggling. The only reason why he couldn’t properly play the match was that he had no idea what he should do with the company and with all these matters.
With Jinqian supporting him, Jing Jie’s eyes slowly became determined.
Just like what his sister told him, if there were no expectations, there would be no disappointment.
“I don’t want to run it…”
Jinqian nodded her head and said, “Alright, then. Since you don’t want to run it anymore, I will end it for you. This way, they can continue living with Jing Lu and you can stay with me.”
Jing Jie’s eyes lit up with excitement, just like a puppy who had found a new owner. His eyes were glowing with hope, as it was no longer the end of the world for him..
