Chapter 13: 13

He Wanqing’s demeanor immediately weakened and she added on unconfidently, “Baby, based on what I can see, whether it is his physique or his face, this kid is far better than Jiang Yi . Are you sure you don’t want to consider it? As the old saying goes, the best way to get out of an old relationship is to start a new one!”

Here it comes again .

Qiao Qing’s brows furrowed . “Mom, I am only 17 . ”

He Wanqing blinked repetitively, not really comprehending . “I know that . ”

1

Chen Ming, who has now returned, heard this exchange as he stepped into the door . Then, he laughed .

“Ma’am, what miss is saying is that she is still young, you don’t need to worry about her once in a lifetime major event right now . ”

Qiao Qing was far too cold and didn’t speak many words . He Wanqing on the other hand, was missing some wires inside her brain .

3

Therefore, many times, Chen Ming had to fulfill the role of a translator .

He Wanqing finally understood but her face remained smiling . “So what? I am not old fashioned and I am very forward-thinking! Plus, it is far too rare for a kid so handsome and so forward to want to be my son-in-law!”

1

“…” Qiao Qing was speechless .

Just how terrified was her mom of not being able to marry her off?

Jun Yexuan watched over Qiao Qing’s speechless face and couldn’t help but smile in enjoyment .

Seventeen? It’s true that she is a little too young .

15

He lifted his legs and walked down the stairs until he was by Qiao Qing’s side . Then, he said to He Wanqing, “Thank you, auntie, for all your compliments . But there’s no rush with this . I can wait for Qiao Qing to grow older . ”

Qiao Qing threw him a cold glare . “Since you got off the bed, get out of my house . ”

Jun Yexuan covered his chest upon hearing those words and made an agonizing face, “Qiao Qing, it still hurts here and it isn’t good for me to be too exhausted . Plus, my wound needs to be rewrapped regularly . Since you saved me and personally tended to my wound, aren’t you planning on being responsible for me until the end?”

4

Chen Ming, who was standing on the side, rolled his eyes . Did this guy major in acting?

14

Plus, the words “being responsible” were a bit far too affectionate .

Before Qiao Qing could answer, He Wanqing replied, “Exactly! If you hurt your bones or twist a muscle, you need to rest for 100 days . Being shot near the heart is far more severe . What’s the big deal that he stays here until he’s fully healed? Our house can afford to feed an extra mouth . ”

5

Just then, a weak sounding voice arose from outside the door, “Auntie, then can you grant me some food also?”

3

The sound of this voice made Jun Yexuan raise an eyebrow .

Along with others, he looked to the direction of the door and saw a person with disheveled hair and a dirty face .

This man’s entire face was black – like he had rolled around in a coal mine .

The brand-name suit was now ragged and ripped, not at all looking like its original form .

He only wore one shoe and it looked chewed up as there was a hole in it .

Even though he had seen many great violent storms, it took Jun Yexuan a full three seconds to recognize Mu Jinghang .

7

Next, the face that always held a slightly smug smile broke down . His lips slightly quivered .

He remembered how right before departing, Mu Jinghang had said he will find a way to see him again, Jun Yexuan couldn’t help but to grit his teeth . What an idiot .

He Wanqing stared blankly at the idiotic Mu Jinghang and asked the entrance guard standing beside him, “Who’s this?”

The entrance guard explained with a smile, “Ma’am, he’s a door-to-door beggar . I thought he seemed far too pitiful and remembered how generous you’ve always been . So I brought him in . ”

4

When the word “beggar” was said, Mu Jinghang and Jun Yexuan both felt some internal turmoil .

5

Mu Jinghang quickly began to fix his tarnished reputation, “Auntie, I am not a beggar . I came to the City of Brisk for business . Who knew that my investment capital would be scammed due to my own carelessness? I am far too ashamed to go back to my parents and I have nowhere else to go now . This is why I am here begging you to keep me here for a while . ”
