“Brother Qin, how are you? Are you okay? Jing Jie, what is wrong with you? Why did you hit Brother Qin? He’s an actor! Do you know how important his face is to him? Mum, quick! Get some ice from Aunt Wu so that we can put it on Brother Qin’s face!”
Following Jing Lu’s anxious commands, the entire house fell into silence.
When she saw the strange look on her parent’s face, she finally came back to her senses. She was supposed to give into Jing Qian. Her goal today was to convince Jing Qian to get back together with Qin Yi in order to ensure that they would be getting endless resources from her. If Qin Yi were to become her boyfriend instead, Jing Qian may hate them and would even ignore them for the rest of her life.
But she…
She had just sworn that she would no longer care about Qin Yi, but when he got punched, she was even more worried than Jing Qian.
“Big sister, come and take a look at Brother Qin! He was punched by Jing Jie, aren’t you worried?”
Jing Lu had no other choice but to shamelessly look into Jing Qian’s peach blossom eyes, which were filled with sarcasm.
She had always hated Jing Qian’s eyes.
Previously, she only felt that Jing Qian’s eyes were extremely beautiful, and she would always complain about how her mother did not give her the same.
Recently, however, she felt that it was as if those eyes had been empowered with magic. There was a demonic energy that came from those eyes and Jing Lu felt as if they were able to see right through her soul.
This was also why Jing Lu felt embarrassed when she finished her sentence. She felt that what she had just said was dumb, and she almost lost control of her facial expression.
“Look! It’s time for dinner now. Let’s go down. We’re a family, what’s more important than eating together?”
Mother Jing, who had been angry just a minute ago, suddenly changed the topic and managed to save Jing Lu from further embarrassment.
“That’s right, we’re a family. What’s more important than having a meal together? Qianqian, Aunt Wu has made all of your favorite dishes tonight!”
Father Jing quickly continued with the topic, bringing Jing Qian to the dining hall.
It was a rectangular table and there were exactly six seats.
“Come here Qin Yi, you shall sit with Qianqian.”
Qin Yi, who was standing right at the back of the crowd, felt embarrassed from before, but when Father Jing called to him, his eyes brightened up. He immediately walked up to Father Jing and politely answered, “Yes, Uncle Jing.”
Just as Qin Yi sat in the seat right next to Jing Qian, she immediately stood up and walked to the opposite seat.
Qin Yi had no idea how to react to the situation that had just happened.
Then, Father Jing came to the rescue once again.
“Qianqian, Qin Yi is sitting over here. Why are you sitting opposite of him instead?”
“Qin Yi came all the way here to see you as soon as he heard that you were coming home. Why are you being so rude, letting him sit alone?”
Just when Mother Jing finished speaking, Jing Jie went ahead and sat next to Jing Qian with a defiant expression on his face.
Both Father Jing and Qin Yi were surprised at what had happened right before their eyes.
“Xiao Jie, get over here and sit with your second sister. Why are you sitting with your big sister?”
Mother Jing subconsciously commanded Jing Jie, but he just stared at her without saying anything.
“You’re such a kid! If you’re sitting next to your big sister, where is Qin Yi going to sit?”
Knowing that Jing Jie would not be able to answer anyone once he got anxious, Jing Qian spoke instead.
“Mother, I have already said that I’ve forgiven Jing Lu. Is there anything that I did not give her ever since we were kids? This is just the same thing. Since she’s in love with Qin Yi, I don’t mind giving Qin Yi to her. As her elder sister, this shall be the last present that I will be giving Jing Lu for the rest of my life.”
Everyone’s faces, except for Jing Jie’s, appeared shocked when they heard what Jing Qian had said.
Especially Mother Jing and Jing Lu, who hadn’t even sat down. The look on their faces took a drastic turn.
“What do you mean that this is the last present
