Chapter 2269: Chapter 2071: Gu Linxi vs Cui Jiangjing

“Mr. Cui, when did you start using someone’s profession to attack them? Did your upbringing and demeanor teach you this?”

“What did you say, you little brat! I don’t need you to teach me how to behave!”

“I don’t need you to teach my girlfriend how to behave either. She earns money through her own abilities, hasn’t stolen or robbed, and hasn’t taken a cent from you. I don’t understand where Mr. Cui gets his sense of superiority to speak disrespectfully to someone he’s only met once! Haven’t you heard the saying? Never underestimate a young man’s potential!”

The last sentence he said was powerful and it seemed like it’s what he truly believed. Gu Linxi stared blankly at his back as he sheltered her from the storm, not broad, but seemingly always stepping in front of her when something happened.

From the time they splattered paint to now.

He never flinched even once.

Steadfast as a rock.

Like a mountain!

Cui Hao was temporarily stunned, surprised at first, then he grew even more furious. His eyes were filled with anger from having his paternal authority challenged, shouting loudly, “Fine. You’re right. You’ve really gotten ahead. You can even lecture your old man now. I think you’ve been bewitched by that vixen! I hadn’t taken her seriously before, but now I see you really want to marry her, right?”

Cui Jiangjing’s fingers tightened, strong and assertive, “That’s right, I do want to marry her. If she’s willing, I can register our marriage with her anytime. Even if she’s not willing, it doesn’t matter, because I will never marry another woman.”

Cui Hao laughed in anger, “Haha, I’ll tell you this too. I will never agree to let her enter our family’s doors! You continue being with her if you want, but know this: she can be your girlfriend, but she will never be a daughter-in-law of the Cui Family. I will never recognize her!”

“Like how you don’t acknowledge Cui Yun?”

His airy tone touched upon some unmentionable taboo, and suddenly the air froze.

Cui Hao’s expression became stiff and pale, fists tightly clenched, biting his tongue, enduring immense pain and fury, “What did you say?”

Cui Jiangjing had long reached the end of his patience, “I said, you think you can force me to submit like you did with Cui Yun, just like what you did back then?”

“…”

“Back then you wanted her dead, and she followed your words, no longer bringing disgrace to you. Have you been happy all these years? Mom says you’ve been living in pain all these years, regretting those words you should never have said. But I don’t think you’re as pained as she says. Your pain is just losing a daughter, you’ve never felt yourself being at fault.”

Cui Hao’s eyes were bloodshot, suppressing his tone, “That… fellow student was a jerk! She was tricked!”

“We all know she was tricked. I do, Mom does, we all know! You think you’re the only one who knows, the only one mature and rational enough to see the guy was a deceiver without the courage to take responsibility? No. We all saw through it. Mom and I chose to stay silent, hoping she could get through those grueling days on her own, hoping she could find her way out herself. But you, you kept blaming her for being unwed and pregnant, scolding her for shaming the family name, forcing her to abort the child.” Cui Jiangjing’s voice was as heavy and hoarse as his heart was in pain, “Yes, as a father, your daughter was fooled by a jerk, pregnant at fifteen. You were angry, you were upset, you resented her for not being strong enough; you weren’t wrong. But you weren’t fit to be a father either. At her most painful, miserable moments, you made her ashamed of her mistakes, leading her down a path she couldn’t return from…”
