Chapter 269

Jing Yan was stunned after Wan Ru slapped him. He looked at Wan Ru with a heart full of coldness. Although this sister of his had always been indifferent to him, they were still the closest in terms of blood relations among their siblings. Thinking of the harmony between Guo Yalan and Han Ziyu, Jing Yan couldn't help but laugh in anger.

"Do you know what you're doing? He's getting engaged in two days, and you're maintaining an inappropriate relationship with a man who has a fiancée."

"What's it to you? Why are you so annoying? I just like being with Yu Ge, what's the problem?" Wan Ru tried to help Jing Yu, who was lying on the ground, while angrily rebuking Jing Yan, "Don't think that just because we share the same mother, you can boss me around."

Jing Yan took a deep breath and then looked at Jing Yu. Jing Yu was in pain but still glared at Jing Yan with a mocking expression.

Jing Yan's anger surged. If Jing Yu weren't his aunt's son, he might have seriously considered killing him.

"He's with you just to make me suffer, to get back at me. Do you really think he likes you?"

Jing Yu didn't bother to explain. He had brought Wan Ru into the entertainment industry, fulfilling her desire to prove her beauty. He had also fueled Wan Ru's resentment towards Jing Yan, giving her opportunities to make Jing Yan uncomfortable. These were enough to make Wan Ru cling to him and continue their entanglement.

Whether Jing Yu loved her or not didn't matter. If Wan Ru truly loved him, would she be able to watch him get engaged?

So Jing Yan's questioning only earned him Wan Ru's mockery.

Wan Ru deliberately said things Jing Yan didn't want to hear. "I don't care if Yu Ge loves me or not. I love him, and I'm willing to be his mistress. I just like him, a member of the Jing Family, and I hate you. What are you going to do about it?!"

Seeing Wan Ru's triumphant expression, as if she was delighted by Jing Yan's changing face, Jing Yan realized she was stubborn and unrepentant.

Jing Yan wouldn't let these two clowns push him around. He gave up on trying to educate them and issued a direct warning.

"Fine. If you don't end this relationship, I'll tell Mom about you entering the entertainment industry and getting involved with him."

Jing Yan first threatened Wan Ru, then turned to glare at Jing Yu. "Auntie might not care about your wild antics outside, but Wan Ru's mother was once Auntie's sister-in-law. Do you think she'll let you ruin Wan Ru like this? So if you touch my sister again, I'll tell Auntie about this."

Hitting their sore spots naturally provoked a backlash, with various curses flying out, making Jing Yan extremely irritated.

Jing Yan grabbed Wan Ru's arm and dragged her away.

"My warning is not a joke. You can try it if you dare!"

After saying that, he pushed Wan Ru into the car and sent her back to the Wan Family.

Back at the Wan Family, Wan Ru foolishly clung to Madam Wan, crying about how Jing Yan had bullied her.

Madam Wan, without asking for details, started yelling at Jing Yan. "Unbelievable! So you think you're too good for us now that you're going to take over the Jing Family, huh?"

"Mom, ??‌‌?‌‌???‌‌?‌‌‌??‌‌?‌???‌‌???‌???‌‌?‌‌???‌‌??‌??‌‌???‌??‌‌??‌???‌‌???‌‌??‌‌?‌???‌‌??‌‌???‌‌??‌‌?‌‌??‌‌???‌‌??‌‌??‌‌??‌‌?‌‌????‌?‌‌???‌‌??‌‌?‌???‌‌????‌??‌‌???‌?‌‌??‌?‌??‌‌??‌‌?‌‌???‌‌??‌‌?‌??‍I'm disciplining my sister because she made a mistake. If you keep spoiling her like this, she'll make a big mistake."

Perhaps as a mother, she should have asked for clarification, but seeing Jing Yan's face, she couldn't help but feel even more furious. "If your sister makes a mistake, it's your fault. You were born to curse our family!"

This was nothing new; Jing Yan had heard it so many times that he was numb to it. He knew there was no point in communicating with his mother, so he turned and left.

"Mom, you'd better keep an eye on Wan Ru. She's been associating with shady characters lately."

Wan Ru immediately erupted in denial, and Madam Wan seemed to side with her, but Jing Yan no longer wanted to listen.

As he was about to walk out of the villa, Madam Wan finally suppressed her anger and suddenly spoke up. "Hey, I heard your aunt is planning to officially announce you as the heir at the engagement party and have you work under her. Is that true?"

Jing Yan paused, guessing that Madam Wan was probably planning to use him to get benefits for the Wan Family.

"I'm not sure. And it doesn't seem to concern you, since you've already left the Jing Family." Although there had been hints of consulting him, it was basically a done deal, so he let the elders decide.

Madam Wan didn't say anything more. Jing Yan glanced back and saw Madam Wan's face was terrifyingly dark, almost like a demon glaring at him.

Jing Yan's heart froze again. He understood that Madam Wan couldn't stand to see him succeed. The more outstanding he was, the angrier she became, as if his success was at the expense of the entire family's luck and health. He never expected someone could be so superstitious.

After so many disappointments, he no longer felt much pain.

Jing Yan left in silence.

Wan Ru, worried about being questioned by Madam Wan, quickly seized the opportunity to complain. "Mom, look at his attitude. He's so disrespectful to you. He even hit me and Yu Ge today. If he becomes the head of the Jing Family in the future, I don't know how he'll treat us!"

Madam Wan was stunned and exclaimed, "What? He hit you?!"

Wan Ru knew that Madam Wan hated Jing Yan deeply. Even for Jing Yu, who was from her former sister-in-law's family, she was willing to give a kind look, but she wouldn't spare a glance for Jing Yan.

So Wan Ru wasn't afraid to mention Jing Yu.

Wan Ru quickly fabricated a lie. "Today, I happened to play with Yu Ge, and he saw us. You know he's always had a grudge against Yu Ge. He probably envied our relationship being better than his, so he mocked and even hit us. He's just too bad. Now he's even telling you that I'm associating with shady people. He's completely crazy."

Madam Wan didn't think too much about it, only feeling that Jing Yan was becoming more and more out of control, probably not even regarding her as his own mother anymore. Her face grew even darker.

"Does he really think he's invincible now? I absolutely won't let him inherit the Jing Family! Trying to escape from me is impossible!"

With that thought, she had already started plotting. Then she began to worry about their injuries. Wan Ru pretended to have internal injuries, which infuriated Madam Wan, who swore to find a way to break Jing Yan's legs.

When Wan Ru returned to her room, she started contacting Jing Yu again. The two of them were like rotten stones in a gutter, constantly thinking of ways to trip Jing Yan.

Ji Fei, relying on the system, finished watching the drama unfold and couldn't help but complain.

[Jing Yan really chose the wrong approach. Wan Ru is just rebellious. After being humiliated by Qin Xian and scolded by her brother, she's even more determined to stay with Jing Yu just to keep provoking Jing Yan. I wonder if Jing Yan will really tell on them if they cross the line again?]

Qin Xian actually wanted to argue that he hadn't humiliated anyone.

But if those two got back together, Jing Yan would definitely tell on them.

[Damn, he's going to see Cen Ting. Could it be...]

Qin Xian was also a bit surprised. Could it be that his friend had finally decided not to endure it anymore?

But would it be too late?

And based on Qin Xian's understanding of Cen Ting, Cen Ting might not stop the engagement because of this.
