C8 Announce Marriage

On the other side, at Jing Family Courtyard.

The living room was filled with people — the old madame, Wang Xuemei; her father, Jing Xiaode; her mother, Yu Xiulian; Moo Yanze's sister, Moo Hongxiao, and a few of Jing Xiaoya's best friends were gathered there.

Jing Xiaoya and Moo Yanze sat on the other side of sofa gloomily.

"Sister Xiaoya, in my opinion, you're such a pushover! Since you and my brother are in love, how could she have the face to do such a thing? She clearly knows your status, yet she still dares to report it to the police. Isn't it obvious that she wants to ruin your career?"

"That's right. Besides, she had just broken up with Young Master Moo, and now she's hanging out with another man in a bar. This proved that she's not a decent person herself!"

"Xiaoya, you are at a disadvantage because you are a public figure. Now, the Internet is flooded with the discussion about your news. They said that you've seduced Young Master Moo, and caught cheating by Young Master Moo's fiancée in bed. Other than that it stated that you've taken drugs too. She's clearly trying to frame you, so you have to quickly think of a way to resolve it."

"That's right! Jing Ning called the police with bad intentions. You can't just let her succeed! "

Jing Xiaoya gazed pitifully at Wang Xuemei who was sitting on the main seat with her pale little face looking weak and sad.

"What else can I do? Since sister has to do this, I can't just get mad at her. After all, we're family. If we really going to start a fight, it'll only make things difficult for grandma and my parents."

With that, Wang Xuemei gave her an appreciative look.

Jing Xiaode said angrily, "Do you still think of her as your sister? Then why don't you ask her whether did she treat you as one?!"

"Uncle, it's not her fault. I'm the one to blame."

Moo Yanze frowned and spoke calmly.

Jing Xiaoya instantly said before he could say anything, "No, it was my fault. If I didn't fall in love with Brother Ze, sister would not have done this too..."

"Xiaoya, that's not what I've meant."

Moo Yanze stopped her and said in a deep voice, "What I mean is that we should have told her earlier. We shouldn't have dragged this on just because we're afraid she might get hurt. Now that you're suffering because of this. It's all my fault for not dealing with it properly."

Jing Xiaoya was touched by his words and looked at him gratefully, "Brother Ze..."

"Ahem!"

As Wang Xuemei cleared her throat softly, she looked at Moo Yanze with a smile on her face.

"Young Master Moo, since she has already gotten into such a mess, I believe you've seen the comments on the Internet too. It's impossible to quell this matter down for now, so do you have any idea of what we can do about it?"

Moo Yanze's face sunk slightly as Jing Xiaoya quietly clenched her fists tightly, appearing somewhat nervous.

"Old Madame, don't worry. I won't let Xiaoya feel aggrieved any longer. When we get back, I'll get someone to announce my relationship with Xiaoya immediately."

Wang Xuemei's face immediately filled with joy.

Yu Xiulian and Jing Xiaode also became excited. Only Jing Xiaoya, her eyes revealed a trace of worry.

"But everyone knows that you are already engaged, will they believe us?"

Moo Yanze held her hand and explained, "Although everyone knows that I am engaged, not many people know who my fiancée is. So all I have to do is tell them that I'm engaged to you, and you're my fiancée. In this case, no one will say anything."

Only then did Jing Xiaoya reveal a hint of joy.

But the next second, she frowned again.

"But how about sister..."

"Don't worry, I'll talk to her personally."

Wang Xuemei spoke with a majestic voice that she had cultivated for years.

"Young Master Moo doesn't need to announce it on the Internet to avoid any unnecessary trouble. Isn't the day after tomorrow Xiaoya's birthday? When the time comes, we'll hold a birthday banquet and invite a few reporters. Then you can announce it on her birthday."

Moo Yanze nodded, "Alright, I'll do according to what Old Madame said."

"Anyway, you should also go back and discuss this matter with your parents. After all, it's a lifetime matter, so it's not good for you to make decisions on your own."

"Don't worry. They have already agreed to this. My parents also adore Xiaoya very much."

"That's great," Wang Xuemei felt relieved, "Stay back to have a meal together."

Moo Yanze stood up, "No need, Old Madame. I still have things to deal with in my company. I'll visit you again next time."

"Young Master Moo is such a young and promising man. In that case, I won't insist for you to stay for lunch anymore."

Wang Xuemei looked at Jing Xiaoya who was sitting at the side, "Xiaoya, send Young Master Moo off."

Jing Xiaoya obediently stood up, "Yes, grandma."

Wang Xuemei's expression sunk after seeing Jing Xiaoya and Moo Yanze walk out the door.

She kept back the smile on her face and stared at Jing Xiaode majestically, then said in a deep voice, "Call your cold-hearted daughter and tell her to come back tonight."

Jing Xiaode immediately replied, "Yes."

...​

Jing Ning hung up after settling the matter with someone through the phone.

As soon as she hung up, her phone rang again.

She was slightly stunned and frowned as she looked at the name that showed on the screen.

In an instant, she lost all her appetite.

She then picked up the phone and said coldly, "Dad."

"You still remember I'm your dad, huh?!"

Jing Xiaode's roaring voice sounded from the other end. Jing Ning could not help but pull the phone away from her ear.

In the end, she simply put her phone on the table and turned on the speaker mode.

"What's the matter?"

"When did you come back from overseas?"

She lowered her eyelids and casually replied, "Why are you asking this?"

"How dare you say that! Since you're back, you should have informed me. In your eyes, do you still take me as your father? Do you still think of this family?"

Jing Ning smirked lightly, "Mr. Jing, if I didn't remember wrongly, when I came back to the country, I did gave you a call."

Jing Xiaode was stupefied.

After a while, he asked in uncertainty, "When did you call? Why don't I remember?"

Jing Ning lifted the corner of her lips and smirked.

Ever since Jing Xiaoya returned home, Jing Xiaode had not taken her seriously, she knew it all along too.

It was just that she did not expect him to completely ignore her, he could even forget that she had called him when she returned from overseas.

What was even more ridiculous was that he actually called her to ask her why didn't she informing him.

At that moment, Jing Xiaode also realized his mistake and felt a little awkward.

"Whatever, I've been busy due to the expansion of the company's business these two years. Probably I might have forgotten. As a daughter, can't you be more considerate? It's been so long since you've returned, yet you haven't gone home for a visit. Do you think it appropriate?!"

Jing Ning was too lazy to argue with him here, so she asked coldly, "What exactly do you want?"

"I..." Jing Xiaode was triggered by her cold tone, but when he thought of her temper, he could only suppressed his anger.

Then he said stiffly, "Your grandma asked you to come back for dinner tonight!"

"Not going."

"How could you? After all, you're a member of the Jing Family. What's wrong with calling you home for dinner? Do you want me to pick you up personally?"

Jing Ning smirked coldly, "You don't even remember to call me home on New Year's Day. Now that you suddenly call me home for dinner, I'm afraid that you might poison me to death by putting rat poison in my food."
