Chapter 1030: Chapter 1024: Meeting in the Disaster Area_1
Chu Molin looked at Jing Xin, unsure of what to say to him. Seeing his state, and thinking about his wifeâs suggestion that Molin might be her cousin, he found it hard to express his current feelings. After all, this would mean that they were in-laws, and therefore related. In such circumstances, he couldnât refuse to help. He couldnât just sit back and watch a great family fall apart, and with the children unable to see their father. This isnât good for their upbringing. Therefore, he figured that he ought to lend a hand, for the sake of their past as comrades.
âWhat did you say when you returned to the Jingsâ house? Did they agree to cut ties with you?â Chu Molin could not fathom the likelihood of this, or else the situation would not have escalated to such an extent.
âImpossible! I barely escaped a beating with a broomstick when I raised the topic.â Jing Xin remembered how he returned home to the divorce agreement left by Fang Xiu. He headed straight to the Jingsâ house and played all his cards. He did not want to beat around the bush with them anymore.
âXinâer is back.â Jing Xiaonan looked at his adopted son, finding it increasingly difficult to understand him. How could he have changed so much from before? In the past, he had a grasp of his feelings and thoughts, but now he was clueless. Moreover, he was no longer in sync with the Jings, leaving Jing Xiaonan at a loss for words.
If not for the need to know some things, he would not have teamed up with others and taken this child under his wing. He now wondered if he had made a wrong decision.
âWell, I have something to tell you.â Jing Xin used to respect this man. But when he came to know that this so-called father had simply stood by as his wife and child were driven away, he decided that staying with the Jings wasnât for him. Why should he believe that this man would truly care for them when he couldnât even accept his own wife and child?
âWhat is it?â Jing Xiaonan did not know what his adopted son, who had been gone so long, wanted to discuss upon his return.
âI want to sever ties with the Jings.â Jing Xin paused before voicing his thoughts.
âJing Xin, do you realize what youâre saying?â Jing Xiaonan was taken aback. He never expected to be confronted with such a statement as soon as his son returned. It was so shocking that he felt his heart disease acting up.
âI do.â Jing Xin had thought this through very carefully.
âAnd you still say so.â Jing Xiaonan stared at Jing Xin, trying to ascertain his intentions, but to his disappointment, he could not fathom anything.
âI have thought a lot about this. You could consider me dead.â Jing Xin thought to himself. Hadnât they assumed him dead two years ago? So, there was nothing unusual about his current decision.
âYou undisciplined brat, do you think severing ties is childâs play?â Jing Xiaonan covered his chest as he gasped for breath, livid.
âI know itâs not childâs play, but I also know how the Jings treated me. Donât tell me you had no idea. They went too far. So, donât you dare tell me that Iâm overreacting now. Compared to what they did, my actions seem lighter.â Jing Xin stared back at Jing Xiaonan impassively.
Without his condoning, how could the Jings treat him and his family so poorly? How could his home fall apart? The Jings wanted to take advantage of him without showing him any decency. He wouldnât let it happen over and over again. It would be better to nip it in the bud. This would put an end to everything and spare him the bother.
