Chapter 271: Everything Quietly Changing
Chapter Two Hundred and Seventy-One: Everything That Quietly Changed （
Situ Jingyi cried out on the sofa, but couldn’t make a sound. She watched helplessly as Ji Xiangyu picked up his mobile phone and made a telephone call!
Only fifteen minutes passed before Situ Haonan rushed in. Seeing Situ Jingyi tied up on the sofa, he walked over with worry and roared at Ji Xiangyu, “Xiao Yu, how could you treat Jingyi like this? She’s a girl!”
Ji Xiangyu said helplessly, “Uncle Situ, if I hadn’t done this, Jingyi might have already taken her own life. I was completely trying to prevent Situ Jingyi from harming herself!”
Situ Haonan’s deep, chilling voice rang out, “Nonsense. Our Jingyi is so beautiful and sensible, how could she possibly harm herself? Xiao Yu, if you don’t love Jingyi, fine, but why are you slandering her like this? She truly loves you, and this is your attitude?”
Ji Xiangyu had no intention of wasting more time with Situ Haonan. He glanced calmly at Situ Jingyi and said, “Since Uncle is back, I’ll be going now!”
Before Situ Haonan could respond, Ji Xiangyu turned and left quickly. Encountering Situ Jingyi’s extreme behavior today left him speechless and helpless, but also made him lament how deeply someone could get into character, how stubborn and opinionated they could be!
Perhaps, many things in the world are like this; once you’ve decided, it’s hard to change. Sometimes, liking someone isn’t about pushing them, or about getting them through one-sided affection. Sometimes, forced love only causes others distress and becomes a burden!
However, not everyone can realize this!
Ji Xiangyu wanted to take advantage of Situ Haonan’s presence to clarify things: “Uncle Situ, I have no emotion for Jingyi beyond familial affection. This is common knowledge, I believe. I also ask you to persuade Jingyi not to waste her time on me. She and I cannot be together, and I am getting married soon. I will send the invitation to your residence. I hope you and Jingyi can attend and offer your blessings. I sincerely hope our two families can still maintain relations, rather than resorting to drastic measures. You’ve watched me grow up, Uncle. Are you truly willing to oppose the Ji Family? Must the grievances of the previous generation be forced upon the younger generation?”
Situ Haonan was stunned by Ji Xiangyu’s lengthy speech and was speechless for a moment. On the other hand, Situ Jingyi pouted and protested, “Dad, I don’t agree, I absolutely do not agree! I don’t want Yu to marry that woman, Qing Tian. That woman is unacceptable, only that woman is unacceptable!”
Situ Haonan looked at his beloved daughter and said to Ji Xiangyu with a cold expression, “Do you have to marry that person?”
Ji Xiangyu found it laughable. Did he need the approval of an outsider from the Situ family to decide who he would marry? How ridiculous. What did they take him for? A pushover?
Ji Xiangyu said to Situ Haonan with absolute certainty, “Who I marry, who I like, doesn’t seem to be up to Uncle to decide, does it?!”
Situ Jingyi said coquettishly, “Dad, I absolutely will not agree to Yu marrying that woman. If they really get married, I’ll die right in front of everyone!”
Situ Haonan suddenly roared, “Enough! Stop talking. Is ‘death’ something you say so casually?”
Situ Jingyi was so yelled at by her father that she didn’t dare to move, sitting there with a grievance!
Situ Haonan waved his hand and said, “Xiao Yu, you can go back now. Uncle Situ doesn’t want to see you. Get out…”
Situ Haonan’s expression was cold, showing no warmth towards Ji Xiangyu at all. His gaze was terrifyingly cold, completely unlike the Uncle Situ from before!
Especially the repeated ruthless methods made Ji Xiangyu deeply realize that the Situ Family and the Ji Family had always been mortal enemies. This time, because of his grandfather’s retirement, he had encountered so many unpleasant incidents with Situ Haonan. He didn’t want to recall the past, nor did he want to see the present. The difference was truly immense. After so many years, the Situ Family and the Ji Family had diverged so much!
