Chpater 779 Disturbing Jiaying, Pissed Li Jing
**************
CHAPTER 779
"You insolent..."
"The last thing I need is a teaching guide from a woman like you who can't tame her wild goose," Li Jing pointed out, ignoring the fact that her foster father was there while she thrashed his wife.
Immediately Ding Jiaying face's was contorted but Li Jing was done paying her any heed in the first place.
That was all she was going to get. Surprisingly, her father did not bother much with what was happening and kept his eyes closed.
"Father."
"Yes? Are you two done throwing words at each other?" His eyes remained shut but she knew he wasn't pleased. For one there wasn't a smile on his face.
She had wished to ignore her but recalling all the suffering she had at the hands of his wife, Ding Jiaying, she just could not let it slide.
"Throwing words," Li Jing giggled. Her right hand moved on its own and covered her mouth in a shy manner.
"Father you think too much. Any word I say, I gave it to who it truly belonged to. No hard feelings.'
Listening to her speak, Ding Jiaying gripped the door frame hard. If it could crash under the force exerted on it, Li Jing knew that would have been the least of her problem.
Still, her smile brightened and she leaned back against the chair, relaxing and enjoying the little comfort the old couch could provide.
"Say, I can help still and have you taken to the hospital old man. You do not look good. I wonder what food the people of this house are feeding you."
"With stress that's for sure. Loads and loads of it." He released a sigh and massaged his temples.
"Li Chun! What is that supposed to mean?"
"Whatever you want it to mean." He opened his eyes, snapping his brows together, he focused his attention on Li Jing. "I guess I am tired after all."
"My apologies, Father. I will make this quick. All I need is for you to give me a location. Tell me laugh. "Women."
He face-palmed himself, unable to hold back the urge to roll his eyes at her.
where..."
"Are you daft or are you blind? Which of them are you, Li Jing?" Li Jing frowned visibly, allowing her brows to deepen following the downward movement of her lips. "Or is the Young wife of the Ye family now a little touch of both?"
Having been misled by her before, she did not want a repeat of such.
"Please. I must know, Father."
"And you will. I just need to..."
"Need to what, Li Chun?" Ding Jiaying interrupted. "Are you so daft not to see that you are in no shape to be dishing out favours to some well-to-do woman?"
"Stay out of this Jiaying. She is my daughter." A loud scoff resounded, accompanied by a low mocking laugh. "Women."
He face-palmed himself, unable to hold back the urge to roll his eyes at her.
"Shake your head, roll your eyes all you want but know this, I won't let that bother you. You are in no shape to be disturbed like this."
"Hag?" Li Jing shot her a glare. "Did the lady who is a walking definition of the word just use it on someone else? Pfft. Now we know who the blind one is."
"Li Jing."
"Before you point fingers, Ding Jiaying, sniff yourself."
Ding Jiaying quirked her eyebrows and held back the rage that was waiting to burst forth. She had been irked by someone younger. Besides, she was just addressed by her name with no honorifics attached to it.
"He is not fit to answer your questions. Leave him. You cannot disturb him. Can't you see how tired he is?"
She hated to admit her foster mother was right but one look at her father spelled everything out.
Of course, she was not a wicked witch. She planned on taking him with her to the hospital but she wished he just spilled the truth. It went a long way in making her believe he was hiding something from her.
"Father, are you scared of something? Tell me. Please. I should know. You owe that to me."
"You were abandoned!" Li Chin hollered at her. "There's nothing I owe to you, Li Jing. It is the past. I am doing this to protect you. Let it go."
Tears raced to her eyes quicker than she had expected but before they got a chance to spill out their content, she balled her hands into fists and shut her eyes.
Li Jing gritted. She could not let him end her only hope now. She had tried on her own with no leads.
She needed him to speak. She was the one who would determine whether she was abandoned or not. Not him.
"You owe me the truth, father!" Li Jing blurted out. Her chest rose with every second that passed.
Rapid breathing followed from her father seeing her go out of hand.
She was always the calm type. Sometimes one would call her naive but she was really good and a feisty princess if she showed her fangs.
"I..." Li Jing began as she placed her right hand on her chest, rose, and got ready to pursue her questions further when the ever-disturbing wench dimmed it fit to intervene.
"I won't sit for this nonsense anymore, get out."
"What?" She whipped her head to the side. Her sharp glares bored into the face of the woman who had stopped her moment. "Get out? Ding Jiaying do you have the confidence to say that again?"
"Yes. I did before and I will again. Get out. You are disturbing him. I do not k is what you want but you have always been an ungrateful bitch."
"Jiaying."
Her choice of words irked the older lady more as she got ready to pounce on her. "Call my name one more time and I shall make you see the stars."
"And what if I say you and that flimsy goat of yours, hiding behind her mother can do nothing more than a dead rat, Jiaying?"
"That's it. You asked for it. Blame yourself and your useless parents for abandoning you. Not that I blame them, seeing as you turned out to be, they were better off without you."
