Chapter 2113: Chapter 2113: Falling Ill
But she knew it wasn’t because he was physically healthy and strong that he never fell ill; it was because his inner strength was so great that he didn’t show any sign of discomfort to anyone, until he could no longer bear it and collapsed.
Yes, since he was a child, he was the kind of stubborn person who never showed weakness or illness in front of others.
But his body was very weak, much more fragile than an average person. She had heard Aunt Bao’er say that he suffered greatly as a child, his body was severely damaged, and it was a miracle he survived.
"Why do you want me to see him? Isn’t it strange for you to say this? To prevent him from contacting me, you even wanted to kill me?" she said sarcastically.
"This is a father’s care for his son. Even a cold politician has feelings for his family. I can’t watch him continue like this. Although I don’t think you are a good match, he no longer listens to my orders because of you and insists on removing Duke Lie."
If this continues, the relationship between father and son will really break. In the past, it was thought that Ling Kong would consider himself and the Halian Clan the most important, and all along, that child has been striving for himself and the family with no other intentions.
However, the appearance of this girl changed him. As an adoptive father, he gradually realized that what mattered most in his heart had become this girl. He went to great lengths to deal with Duke Lie, desperately planning tactics to forcefully seize control of the army, all for that girl.
If his wishes are ignored, he fears that it will end in more than just illness.
As an adoptive father, he was both angry and disgusted with this girl affecting Ling Kong, yet unable to truly let go of the deep bond built over five years of being father and son. In the end, he viewed him as a real son, even if it started with a utilitarian intent, it had developed into genuine paternal love.
Someone had to take a step back, and he chose to give in, to fulfill this child, otherwise, he feared this child would go mad.
"Since he insists on having you, even if I am not satisfied with you, very well. I permit you to marry Ling Kong and join our Helian Family!"
"Permit? Such a patronizing tone of charity, it really makes one sick to the stomach." Jun Yiyi, however, sneered, "Do you think I am eager to marry into your Helian Family? Councilman, you are too full of yourself."
Halian Jing heard her unabashedly disgusted tone and frowned slightly: "You don’t want to?"
"Councilman, you indeed have a short memory, perhaps you’ve forgotten who drove my foster mother to suicide?" Jun Yiyi’s chest was full of anger and resentment, her eyes red with hatred, "Do you think I would call someone who killed my family a father?"
She thought she could control herself. She had been trying hard to suppress her hatred from the start.
But hearing his indifferent, superior tone, as if bestowing a favor upon her, completely forgetting that he had caused the death of such a kind and fragile woman, was truly shameless.
All these politicians are the same, their hands stained with too many lives. A woman’s desperate suicide doesn’t cause them the slightest reaction. Human life is so cheap.
It made her feel that her foster mother’s death was all in vain.
"Quite a spirited little wolf, I haven’t seen any sign of resentment from you in three years. Seems like you’ve been enduring the disgrace." Halian Jing’s tone was ambiguous, with a slight sneer.
