Bai Jing turned to stare at Zhang Lihong only after Su Yue left .
She surveyed her from top to toe and realized that she had bruises on her neck and face . It seemed like someone had beaten her up .
Zhang Lihong’s eyes were welling up with tears and her voice sounded choked . “I’ve let you down . I wasn’t able to protect you . I’m such a useless mother . ”
Her tears gushed down .
Bai Jing watched her and she sounded frustrated as she responded . “That’s enough . Stop pretending . Let’s go to the park . ”
“Okay . ” Zhang Lihong nodded .
“Ansheng, tell me honestly . Do you intend to marry Feiling?”
The Tang family had come knocking on their door regarding this matter . They were in the living room and the atmosphere was strained .
Ming Ansheng sat on an armchair while Old Master Tang sat with Tang Feiling on the couch . Old Master Tang’s expression was solemn and cold, and he was staring at Ming Ansheng .
Ming Ansheng’s mother looked anxious .
Annoyance flashed across Ming Ansheng’s eyes when he heard Old Master Tang’s question . However, he replied unhurriedly . “Bright Vision is about to make a breakthrough . So I don’t have time for other matters . ”
His fingers were intertwined, and he placed his hands on his lap .
Old Master Tang snorted coldly . “We need not hold the wedding right now . How much time would it take to just register your marriage?”
Ming Ansheng feigned shock . “How can we not hold a wedding?! If this news travels to outsiders, what would they think?”
“Stop your excuses . ” Old Master Tang sounded impatient and continued sharply . “Just say it . Do you want to marry her?”
They were there for a long time and they kept beating around the bush . His patience had long been worn out, and he was on the verge of lashing out .
“Grandfather…” Tang Feiling tugged at Old Master Tang’s sleeves and glanced furtively at Ming Ansheng .
She feared that her grandfather might annoy Ming Ansheng, and he would call their marriage off .
She loved him too much and there was no way she would want to call it off .
Old Master Tang glared at Tang Feiling, looking furious . “Do not interrupt . ”
“Grandfather Tang, are you trying to coerce me?” Ming Ansheng sneered coldly with an odd smile playing around the corners of his mouth .
“Yes, I’m coercing you . ” Old Master Tang nodded without hesitation . He added, “You and Feiling have been engaged for years . Both of you are already 25 years old . Isn’t it time to settle down?”
Ming Ansheng lifted his eyebrows . “If I don’t agree?”
Old Master Tang’s expression hardened and he raised his voice . “Certainly, in that case, any collaboration between the two families will cease . Feiling can find someone else . ”
Ming Ansheng shrugged lazily and replied, “Grandfather Tang, since you insist on your way, there is nothing else I can say . ”
Ming Ansheng was composed and completely unperturbed by his threats .
Tang Feiling got anxious and grabbed her grandfather’s sleeves . “Grandfather!”
She was here to fix their wedding date, not to annul their engagement .
“Ming Ansheng, what are you doing?!” Ming Zhongsheng finally lashed out and glared at Ming Ansheng in fury .
“Why can’t I?” Ming Ansheng coldly replied . “Bright Vision need not depend on the Tang family for support . We are just using each other . Why do we need to use both of our marriage as stakes?”
He wanted to try his best to fight for himself . Even if his future wife wouldn’t be Su Yue .
