Ming Lan’s mind was a bit muddled, but she was no longer in a daze. She got up from the ground, disregarded the scars on her face, found out where Old Sir Jiang was staying, and hurriedly left the little courtyard.
Upon reaching the hotel where Old Sir Jiang was staying, as soon as she saw him, Ming Lan knelt down before him directly and said, "Dad, I was wrong, I beg you, for the sake of me being your daughter-in-law for over twenty years, save the Ming Family."
Old Sir Jiang looked at Ming Lan kneeling in front of him and was slightly taken aback. After hearing her words, he finally understood why she had come.
He thought to himself, this Ming Lan, always the proudest one. Relying on being the eldest Miss of the Ming Family, relying on the power and influence of the Ming Family, when had she ever really taken him seriously?
So, this kneeling today was because she had a request.
"If you have something to say, get up and speak." Old Sir Jiang looked at Ming Lan calmly, his eyes seeming to see through her.
Ming Lan felt somewhat guilty under Old Sir Jiang’s gaze, but she did not dare to stand up. She needed his help today; even if it was just for show, she had to make it look convincing.
"No, Dad, I won’t get up unless you promise me." Ming Lan spoke again, and Old Sir Jiang’s face darkened. He thought, he initially believed Ming Lan truly came to plead with him, but didn’t expect that she still behaved as before. She actually used not getting up as a threat to force his agreement.
The gaze Old Sir Jiang gave Ming Lan gradually turned cold as he said coldly, "Ming Lan, my abilities are limited, I can’t help you. So, even if you keep kneeling, there’s nothing I can do."
After speaking, Old Sir Jiang no longer paid attention to Ming Lan and turned to his wife, saying, "My dear, the weather is nice today, let’s go for a walk."
Old Madam Jiang glanced at Ming Lan who was kneeling, hesitated for a moment, said nothing, and followed behind Old Sir Jiang as they went out.
Watching Old Sir Jiang and Old Madam Jiang leave just like that, Ming Lan was stunned, couldn’t continue kneeling, stood up, and chased after them.
"Dad, Dad!" Ming Lan called out as she chased Old Sir Jiang. However, Old Sir Jiang pretended not to hear, as if he heard nothing. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel·fiɾe·net
Seeing that Old Sir Jiang truly ignored her, Ming Lan was filled with hate. If it were before, she would never have lowered herself .
But now, she had no choice. Due to the Ming Family’s troubles, she was no longer the high and mighty eldest Miss of the Ming Family.
Old Sir Jiang and Old Madam Jiang left the hotel, but didn’t go far, just took a walk in the nearby park. Ming Lan followed behind them, looking at the bustling park, wanting to kneel again to plead with Old Sir Jiang, yet couldn’t bring herself to do it.
So, she just followed like that until the two elders left the park.
Seeing Ming Lan following behind them all along, Old Madam Jiang felt a bit of pity and said to Old Sir Jiang, "Dear, after all, Ming Lan is the Jiang Family’s daughter-in-law. Isn’t it a bit harsh to disgrace her ?"
"Harsh?" Old Sir Jiang turned his head to look at Old Madam Jiang and said, "Wife, it’s not that I’m not giving face to Ming Lan, but what she did, how can I give her face? Previously, when the Ming Family was fine, how did she treat us? Now that the Ming Family is in trouble, she knows to ask us for help?"
"If you need help, then ask for help. But at the very least, you should have the demeanor of asking for help. But what kind of attitude was that earlier, was that a pleading attitude? That was coercion."
"I know, Ming Lan’s actions were wrong. But even if you don’t consider her own face, you should consider our sons’, shouldn’t you? We only have two sons, do you want to become estranged from them?"
