Chapter 407: Won’t Withdraw The Case
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“It’s been slowly accumulated for a year just for the full blooming month. The flowers are so small that it’s negligible, but the fragrance is strong. Just like Second Sister-in-law, she’s usually quiet and doesn’t have a strong presence, but she can affect many people.”
Zhang Li spoke seriously, but Zhang Ji only nodded and smiled when he heard that. He did not agree or refute.
Zhang Li’s words did not get a response from Zhang Ji. She was a little puzzled. “Second Brother, am I wrong?”
Zhang Ji shook his head. “No, you’re right, but there’s no profound meaning in her liking osmanthus. It’s just that there were two trees planted in their courtyard when she was young.”
Zhang Li’s expression froze. For a moment, she did not know how to describe her feelings. However, she could not help but feel touched when she saw the gentleness in Second Brother’s eyes when he talked about Yu He.
Then, she subconsciously started to recall if she had ever seen such an expression on Jing Mo’s face.
The answer was no. Never.
When she first met him, Jing Mo would always look at her attentively. Later on, when they got married, Jing Mo basically listened to her. She thought that he valued her, liked her, and loved her.
Only now did she understand that it was an act.
“Second Brother, what do you want to tell me?” Zhang Li’s mood dropped again, and she became cold and silent again.
Zhang Ji could tell the change in her. His heart instantly sank and he lost the mood to chat.
“About you and Jing Mo…”
“Second Brother, you don’t have to persuade me.” Zhang Li interrupted him before he could finish speaking. She said calmly, “1 won’t withdraw the lawsuit. Even if Jing Mo agrees, I won’t agree.”
Zhang Ji frowned slightly. He took a deep breath and swallowed the words he had prepared.
“It’s up to you. 1 want to tell you that Yaoyao will be coming to Lin City in the next few days. We might go home and stay for a few days. Stay here alone and ask Auntie Chen to make whatever you want to eat.” After saying this, Zhang Ji stared at Zhang Li’s expression.
Zhang Li was in a daze for a moment. Her eyes instantly moistened, and the coldness and indifference on her face disappeared.
Zhang Ji heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the change in her expression. He felt that there might be some hope of convincing Zhang Li.
However, he quickly realized that he was wrong. Zhang Li’s lips trembled twice. When she spoke, she choked. “She… she came alone?”
Zhang Ji frowned again. With Zhang Li’s personality, if she was a boy, her father would definitely send her to the army.
She was terrifyingly hard.
“No. There’s also Liang Xun and Little Dumpling,” Zhang Ji said.
Zhang Li nodded and said, “Little Dumpling is already so big now. What are her plans for the future? I heard that she plans to go back to acting?”
Zhang Ji nodded. “I heard her say so.”
Zhang Li opened her mouth a few times and said after a while, “Actually, there’s no need for her to go back now. The entertainment industry is chaotic and complicated. It’s a place that eats people up without spitting out their bones. Acting is also very difficult. She has a better choice. Why should she go back?”
At the mention of this, Zhang Ji was a little angry. His tone turned cold. “You knew what kind of place it was when you sent her into the entertainment industry. Then why did you choose to send her in back then? Did you really dislike her that much back then? Did you have to watch her suffer before you felt comfortable?”
This question instantly shattered Zhang Li’s forced calmness. Her tears flowed uncontrollably.
Why?
For the past year or so, every time she dreamed of it at midnight, she would ask herself over and over again why.
It seemed that after her 17th birthday, Jing Yuan suddenly suggested to her that since Jing Yao had a good-looking face, she shouldn’t waste it. Since she liked money so much and had to work part-time after class, she should go to the entertainment industry to earn money.
At that time, she actually knew that Jing Yao worked part-time every day after class, but she didn’t think that her daughter didn’t have money to eat. She just thought that Jing Yao was telling the outside world that she was bullied in the Jing Family through this method.
Coincidentally, during that period of time, Zhang Li took a fancy to the entertainment industry and was prepared to open an entertainment company with others.
She felt that Jing Yuan was right, so she forced Jing Yao to sign a contract and enter a complex place like the entertainment industry at such a young age..
