Chapter 708: Chapter 708: Just Save Yourself the Trouble!
His unruly attitude instantly annoyed Jiang Haoyan.
“Don’t think you can threaten me with this fasting trick, I tell you, this betrothal feast is going to happen whether you agree or not.”
Jiang Haoyan stood next to his bed, looking down at his most disobedient son.
His face was filled with anger.
“If you’re so fond of Miss Jing Yan, why don’t you marry her yourself? Should I light a stick of incense for my mother and tell her you want a stepmother?”
A slap landed on his face, forcing Jiang Jinchen’s head to the side.
“Bastard! You’re going to be the death of me!”
Jiang Haoyan’s face flushed with rage, pointing angrily at Jiang Jinchen’s face.
“What, did I hit a nerve?” Jiang Jinchen licked the metallic taste at the corner of his mouth, his smile even wider.
Throughout his life, he had done many disobedient things.
At most, Jiang Haoyan would lock him up for a few days. When he couldn’t bear it anymore, it was easy for him to escape with his skills.
Jiang Haoyan didn’t get that angry.
This time, however, he seemed determined to punish him, locking him up more than before, and even injecting him with sedatives.
The guards at the door were switched in shifts, treating him like a prison convict.
Jiang Jinchen, who had never undergone such treatment, instantly became irritated.
The most direct form of protest he could think of was to fast.
But Jiang Haoyan was tougher. He called in a military doctor to forcibly feed him nutrients.
After a week of tension between father and son, Jiang Jinchen had no intention of backing down.
Recalling what his adjutant had said, Jiang Haoyan furrowed his brows, turned his back, and sat down on the couch.
“If you want to die, I won’t stop you. But I tell you, if anything happens to you, I’ll have someone kill that woman immediately!”
“It’s chilling to hear such a ruthless remark from a high-ranking officer.” Jiang Jinchen’s mouth curled up in a mocking smile as he retorted sarcastically.
“What you care about is that Yaya’s family background isn’t good enough. Besides this prejudice, can you give me a second reason?”
“That woman is not suitable for you.” Jiang Haoyan replied coldly.
“Whether the shoe fits or not, only the foot knows. Who are you to tell me it doesn’t fit?” Jiang Jinchen fumed in a low growl.
Why does everyone only ever tell him that they are not suitable, but no one ever asks him if he thinks they are suitable?
His life is his own; he doesn’t need others to dictate his every step.
What’s wrong with him liking Ning Yanan?
Did he commit a crime or break a law that everyone is trying to stop him so desperately?
“Just based on her background, it’s enough for you to be unable to hold your head up high in front of people. Do you know anything about her background to dare talk about suitability with me?”
Jiang Haoyan narrowed his eyes. His words were full of disdain for Ning Yanan.
“I know a little more about her than you do, and if I don’t mind, it’s not your place to worry!” Jiang Jinchen turned his head away irritably.
Because he knows, he will absolutely not agree to the engagement.
The thing Ning Yanan cares about most is that her mother is a homewrecker. If he were to really get engaged to Miss Jing Yan, it would be the same as personally severing any possibility between them.
He won’t just walk into this trap.
“Even before entering the door, she has already made you . This woman will lead to your ruin sooner or later. And just because of this, don’t even dream that I will agree.” Jiang Haoyan slapped the armrest of the couch forcefully.
“If I agree to an engagement, I’ll die even earlier.” Jiang Jinchen retorted without thinking.
