Chapter 106: 106: How dare she! Father Jing lectured Mother Jing as well as Jing Lu, who was crying at the corner, before leaving the room.

Jing Lu looked at her father, who was leaving, and even more tears ran down her face.

“Mum, is dad angry at me? I’m not as pretty as big sister and I don’t have as good of a figure as hers either. I even have a congenital medical condition. Other than big sister’s academics, she has been better than me in everything ever since we were kids. Now that she’s been able to help with dad’s company, has dad forgotten about me? Does he hate me now?”

When Mother Jing saw her daughter crying so badly that even her lips turned pale, she hurriedly hugged her and started comforting her.

“That’s impossible! There’s no such thing! Xiao Lu, forget what your father just told you. The way that he looks at you and your sister is entirely different. Don’t you know how much he loves you?”

“But… He was screaming at me just now. Was it because he no longer wants to help me?”

Mother Jing wiped away the tears on her daughter’s face, continuing to comfort her. “How is that possible? He loves you the most. He is being nice to Jing Qian because he is trying to help you. Don’t worry about it. Your father and I will help you no matter what.”

“Mum, you must help me with it. This upcoming drama already has a huge fan based on its novel and the well-known actor Yunxiao will be in it as well.

“Big sister even got the first role because she refused to give it up to Yan Meiqi. If she was able to get her role back, why would it be difficult for her to get me a second female lead? Zhongbo is the largest investor in this drama. As long as Zhongbo agrees, I would be able to play the second female lead. If I am the second lead, I’m confident that I’ll be the next rising star!”

“I know, I know. Let’s just wait for your sister to come home. I’ll make sure she gets you the role as second female lead.”

With the help of the crocodile tears on Jing Lu’s face, Mother Jing agreed with anything that was said.

A look of happiness that flashed across Jing Lu’s eyes, but her face still had the same pitiful, sad, grieving expression.

“But… Big Sister hates me. She hates that the two of you love me so much more and she hates that I took Brother Qin. She even said that I was a b*tch. Why would she still be willing to give me the role?”

Mother Jing had already heard about how Jing Qian had called Jing Lu a b*tch. When she heard it for the first time, her blood pressure hit the roof.

Even after hearing it a few times, the anger that was burning in her heart didn’t decrease.

“How dare she?! I’d like to see if she dares to call you that in front of my face. If she does, I’ll beat her to death!”

“Mum! Don’t do that! Don’t you think that this is why Big Sister has gotten a bit twisted? I think it’s because you’re always scolding her due to me. Big Sister is actually quite nice. You… You should talk nicely to her.”

“You silly, little girl. Why are you so kind-hearted? Your sister has insulted you so badly but you’re still speaking so nicely of her. She should really hear what you said about her. She would be ashamed of herself!”

When Mother Jing saw Jing Lu was still trying to put in good words for Jing Qian, even after being treated so badly, her heart broke.

Just when Mother Jing was comforting Jing Lu, she looked up and saw her son on the second floor, which frightened her.

“Xiao Jie…”

Just when Mother Jing was just about to ask him why he was staring at them without saying anything, the boy had already turned around, ran back to his room, and shut the door with a loud ‘bang.’

Jing Lu bit her lips and she had an extremely sad look on her face, but deep inside, she didn’t really care about her stupid, demented brother.

Around six in the evening, Jing Qian arrived at the Jing family, as promised.

Father Jing was already standing at the door, enthusiastically welcoming Jing Qian back to her home.
