You Sit in the Front Seat
"Talking to you about your marriage is also a matter of life and death for the Nangong Family, the Nangong Corporation, and the Ferocious Tiger Sect.”
Nangong Qingyu's expression turned solemn as he said,""Ferocious Tiger Sect and Eagle Claw Sect were both branches of Wudang back then, but our Ferocious Tiger Sect's roots have always been in Linjiang City. The current leader of Eagle Claw Sect, Zhao Yanbin, is an old friend of mine. He has been developing in the United States all these years, and now he plans to bring his son, Zhao Chenyi, back to Linjiang to develop. He established the Eagle Flying Group and made great progress in Linjiang City in a very short period of time. Now, your martial uncle, Wang Yuebin, is competing and suppressing our Nangong Group in business." Moreover, he's been in seclusion for the past year and has been practicing hard. It's obvious that he's prepared to defeat me at the end of the year and become the sect master. I've thought about it again and again. To protect our Nangong Corporation and the Fierce Tiger Sect, the best way is to ally with Zhao Yanbin of the Eagle Claw Sect. His son, Zhao Chenyi, is a handsome man. I want to marry you to Zhao Chenyi and tie our Nangong family and Chen family together. That way, we won't be afraid of Wang Yuebin.
"Father, you want me to marry someone I haven't met before?”Nangong Jing was shocked. She knew that her father was looking for her for no good reason, but she didn't expect it to be this bad. Furthermore, she had never seen the man her father chose for her, which made her even more unable to accept it.
According to Nangong Qingyu's thoughts, not only would he be able to find his daughter a family of equal status, but he would also be able to help him tide over his current difficulties. It could be said to be killing two birds with one stone. However, things didn't go as she wished. Nangong Jing had always been resistant and disgusted with men. Now that her father wanted her to marry someone she had never met before, she wouldn't agree no matter what.
"I've met Zhao Chenyi. He's quite good and deserves the title of young talent. I've also shown him your photo and information. Wan 'er, don't hate me. I'm doing this for the future of our Nangong family.”Nangong Qingyu said meaningfully.
"I don't agree." Nangong Jing strongly objected.
"Then what do you want? Don't you care about your own clan and sect? This is the foundation passed down by our ancestors. If it is destroyed in our hands, how can I face my ancestors in the future?”Nangong Qingyu was furious when he saw Nangong Jing reject him so firmly.
"Father, what era is it now? And you're even planning an arranged marriage for me? I want to be the one to make the decisions in my marriage.”Nangong Jing said without backing down.
Nangong Qingyu's anger rose and he said,""No, I have the final say in this matter!"
"Dad, it's a legal society now. I think I have the right to make a choice about my marriage.”Nangong Jing didn't show any fear in her eyes.
Nangong Qingyu was furious. He raised his hand and wanted to slap Nangong Jing, but when he saw her stubborn face, he remembered that she had lost her mother when she was young. He remembered that he was busy with the family business and had no time to care about her. His heart softened and he sat back down. "Wan 'er, why don't you understand Dad's painstaking efforts?”
Nangong Jing looked at Nangong Qingyu with pity. She was a smart person, so how could she not know her father's painstaking efforts?
She felt that her father, Nangong Qingyu, was very pitiful. She could not understand Nangong Qingyu's world and his life goals. He schemed with his fellow disciples and outsiders, risking his life just to pass on the wealth and power that he could not bring with him to the next generation. How ridiculous and pathetic!
"Dad, I only want to choose my own path, so please take back your plan. I won't marry Zhao Chenyi.”Nangong Jing said.
Nangong Jing's words angered Nangong Qingyu again. His expression turned cold as he said,""It's not up to you. You have to get engaged to Zhao Chenyi before the end of this year.”
Nangong Jing's eyes were filled with sadness, despair, and even hatred. She slowly stood up and walked out of the room. She knew her father's character. No one could change his decision! She also knew that the law was like a piece of paper to her father. She could talk to him about the law, but he could ignore it. She also knew that she did not have the ability to break free from his father's control. In that case, why should she continue to argue with him?
Seeing his daughter leave his room like a walking corpse, Nangong Qingyu felt very upset. However, he stubbornly believed that this was for the good of his daughter, son, and family. The ups and downs of the business world and the grudges of the martial arts world had long made Nangong Qingyu's heart as hard as stone. If not for this, his position would have long been lost.
Ever since the 'shadow' came to look for Nangong Jing, Chu Xiao could clearly feel the change in Nangong Jing. She had been worried for the past few days. When the two of them were in the medical building's studio, Chu Xiao saw that Nangong Jing would sometimes be in a daze while reading documents.
Chu Xiao could tell that Nangong Jing had been in a bad mood recently. He wanted to comfort her, but he did not know how. It was 6 pm again. The two of them left the medical building on time. Chu Xiao quietly walked away. She knew that something must have happened to Nangong Jing, and she needed some time to calm down.
Nangong Jing felt even more lonely and helpless as she watched Chu Xiao leave.”
"If only Mom was still here! She definitely won't let me marry someone I've never met.”
Tears rolled down Nangong Jing's face, but she stubbornly kept them in her eyes. However, she did something that even she found strange.
"Chu Xiao!"
Just as Chu Xiao was about to leave, a cold and gentle voice sounded behind her.
Chu Xiao turned around and saw Nangong Jing looking at him. Nangong Jing smiled bitterly.”
Chu Xiao stared at Nangong Jing. He didn't know why Nangong Jing suddenly wanted to drink, but Chu Xiao didn't reject her. He said slowly,""Alright."
There were many places to drink in Linjiang. Of course, the most famous place was the bar around Meishan Lake. Although Chu Xiao had never been to these places, he knew about them after spending so much time in Linjiang.
"Let's go to Meishan Lake!" Chu Xiao said. It seemed like he was a frequent pub goer, but he usually did not go to such places. He was a martial arts practitioner and liked to cultivate in a quiet environment, so he found such places too noisy and lively.
"Yes!" Nangong Jing nodded." Wait for me here. I'll drive the car over."”
Chu Xiao smiled and said seriously,""Let's take my car!"
Nangong Jing looked at Chu Xiao in surprise. Chu Xiao smiled at Nangong Jing and pushed a bicycle over. When Nangong Jing saw Chu Xiao pushing a bicycle over, she suddenly thought of a movie that Zhou Xingxing acted in. She also thought of the night when it was raining heavily. Chu Xiao had placed the bicycle in a box filled with water and rode the bicycle like a windmill. He had covered his face to save her. Her troubled mood instantly dissipated.
Nangong Jing shook her head and prepared to drive her car. After all, she was considered a celebrity. If she sat on a boy's bicycle and went to a bar, it would be news.
"If you don't like my car, then let's take a taxi over!”Chu Xiao joked.
Nangong Jing was a smart person and immediately understood that Chu Xiao was afraid that she would drink and drive. However, Nangong Jing was a stubborn person. She didn't like others to influence her decisions. Just as she was about to retort, she saw Chu Xiao's sincere gaze and suddenly changed her mind.
"No need, I'll take your car!" Nangong Jing said.
Chu Xiao smiled happily when he heard that. He pointed at his backseat and said,""You can sit in the passenger seat!"
Nangong Jing's mood improved and she silently got into the car. Chu Xiao kicked his foot and the bicycle steadily moved forward.
This was the first time Nangong Jing sat behind a boy's bicycle. In the past, she often saw boys riding bicycles in school with a girl sitting behind them with happiness and sweetness written all over her face. She did not expect to be sitting behind a boy's bicycle today, and it was a boy who was several years younger than her.
