Chapter 143: The Sickly and Descendant Vice Admiral vs. the Destitute Noble’s Daughter (StarCraft) (
Father Jiang has always been the representative of the peacemaker in this family. Otherwise, it is impossible for him not to know that Jiang Zheng's biological mother passed away and she has been mistreated by her stepmother for so many years. He just doesn't bother to care.
To put it bluntly, Jiang Zheng's daughter is of no benefit and not worth his trouble.
"Dad, please judge for yourself!" Jiang Zheng sat on a sofa nearby and looked at her father. "That day, Jiang Chao suddenly regretted the marriage and disregarded your and the family's reputation. I was kind enough to smooth over the marriage for her and save the family's precarious position. But in the end, I was mocked by her. What kind of thing is this? It's really disheartening!"
Father Jiang heard from Mother Jiang yesterday that Jiang Zheng had become different.
I didn't think anything of it at the time, until now when I faced Jiang Zheng face to face, I realized that this daughter had long since become different from what I remembered.
"Chao Chao was indeed not thoughtful enough in this matter." Jiang's father said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Zheng laughed out loud.
They are both daughters, but Jiang's father's heart is really in his heart.
Jiang Chao's nonsense in front of everyone was just a meaningless and inconsiderate remark from Jiang's father. If it was Jiang Zheng who broke off the engagement and made a scene, Jiang's father would probably kick her out of the house immediately in exchange for a good reputation.
What a huge difference!
"Dad won't let Jiang Chao go just like that, right?" Jiang Zheng said calmly, but her eyes were fixed on Jiang's father.
Father Jiang's thoughts were guessed, and he said with displeasure: "You're already married, so the matter is settled. What else do you want?"
"Dad, you're wrong. I don't mean to do anything. I'm just worried about the Jiang family and Dad's reputation." Jiang Zheng suppressed her anger and said with a smile, "She regretted her marriage, and the Jiang family lost a hundred years of reputation. Today, I walked over and heard people talking about the Jiang family's daughter's regret of marriage. Some people said it was a problem with the Jiang family's upbringing. A hundred years of noble families actually raised a daughter who could only run away from marriage. Some even complained about you, Dad."
"How could such a thing happen?!" Jiang's father worked in the court and usually cared about his reputation the most. He was immediately furious.
Jiang Zheng was sympathetic and said, "It's all over the streets. I don't have to be hard on Jiang Chao. Although we don't have a good relationship, we are both members of the Jiang family, so naturally the Jiang family and Dad's reputation should be put first. I also don't want Jiang Chao to be punished, but there are constant rumors outside. If Dad doesn't set an example, it's inevitable that someone will cause trouble for Dad because of this matter, and affect your work!"
You will never feel the pain unless the hammer hits you. Jiang Zheng put the reputation that her father cared about the most on the fire. She didn't believe that her father could let Jiang Chao off so easily.
Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Zheng finished speaking, Jiang's father angrily slapped Jiang Chao, causing half of her face to become red and swollen.
"Dad, you hit me!"
Jiang's mother was also startled by Jiang's father's sudden outburst, and quickly protected Jiang Chao, who was slapped, in her arms, "What are you doing! Chao Chao doesn't like that man at all, and it's inevitable that she'll run away from the marriage."
"It's you! You spoiled this girl so much that she became lawless!" Jiang's father was furious and no one could stop him. He immediately started to blame Jiang's mother, "What kind of rumors are spreading outside now? If Zheng Zheng hadn't made a quick decision to marry him, the backbone of our Jiang family would have been broken! It's all because of your good daughter!"
Jiang Chao had never seen her father so angry before. She panicked for a moment. She turned her head and glared at Jiang Zheng fiercely. Then she stood up and said with tears in her eyes: "Father! Even if I ran away from the marriage and brought shame to the family, Admiral Oberon and I love each other. Sooner or later, I will be the admiral's wife! Can't this make up for my mistake?"
Jiang Zheng paused while drinking tea. She raised her eyebrows, as if she was surprised that Jiang Chao had a rare brain, then smiled and shook her head.
Jiang Chao actually set his sights on Oberon. He is not a kind-hearted person. A fool like Jiang Chao will probably be eaten to the bone by Oberon.
Jiang Chao's words really calmed down the furious Jiang father, who fell into deep thought alone.
Seeing this, Jiang Zheng smiled and said, "Jiang Chao, you said this as if you are going to marry the admiral now."
"It's only a matter of time!" Jiang Chao emphasized. She looked at Jiang Zheng's smiling face but felt that she was being mocked. She picked up something at hand and threw it at him. "As long as I marry Admiral Oberon, even you will have to be respectful to me!"
Jiang Zheng dodged it and smiled without saying anything.
If you want her to be respectful to Jiang Chao, you can just dream on.
"Then you are still unmarried?" Jiang Zheng tilted her head and said, "Let's take a step back. Even if you are married, what does it matter? Can it erase the fact that you once ran away from marriage and humiliated the military? If you are not punished today, will we still go out in the future? Will we be scolded as soon as we go out, saying things like 'Look, that's Jiang Chao's family who ran away from marriage and then shamelessly married Admiral Oberon'?"
Seeing the blood on Jiang Chao's face gradually disappear, Jiang Zheng continued, "Jiang Chao, you and your mother have no shame, but we still have some. Dad's job always requires him to deal with the military. If Dad is embarrassed by the military because of you, can you bear this responsibility?"
Although Eli had retired from the battlefield, his comrades were scattered throughout the military. Jiang Chao had slapped the military in the face, and the military might not have stopped him.
Jiang's father naturally thought of this as well. His face turned grim, and he immediately shouted angrily, "Go to the housekeeper and get thirty lashes! Beat him right at the gate! Let everyone watch!"
"Dad!" Jiang Chao looked at his father in disbelief, unable to believe that the other party really wanted him to be whipped.
"No room for negotiation!" Jiang's father roared, "We are all members of the Jiang family, but you have no sense of family at all! You should learn from Zheng Zheng. You are obviously the older sister, but in the end you are not as good as Zheng Zheng, your younger sister! You really disappoint me!"
Father Jiang is such a selfish person. Once his own interests are involved, even his beloved Jiang Chao will be ruthlessly abandoned.
Jiang Zheng stood on the balcony of her room and watched Jiang Chao kneeling in the garden and being whipped.
The butler didn't kill him, but it was enough to make the pampered Jiang Chao feel pain for a while.
Jiang Zheng packed up her things and prepared to leave. When she reached the door, Jiang Chao had just finished whipping her.
"Jiang Zheng, what are you so proud of!" Jiang Chao's forehead was sweating, and he said bitterly: "If you marry that loser, you will never be able to have children in your life, and you will have no hope in your life! You should stay with that loser in this stinky..."
Snapped--
Jiang Chao covered her painful cheek in a daze, unable to believe that Jiang Zheng had hit her.
Mother Jiang screamed and rushed over to protect Jiang Chao, her eyes full of resentment, "Jiang Zheng, how dare you hit my Chao Chao! Did Chao Chao say something wrong? There is no hope for you in this life! You went back to your parents' home alone the day after your wedding! Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if others tell others about it! You deserve to be despised!"
"If you want to shore yourself up, go ask that loser to pick you up!"
Before Jiang Zheng could say anything, the sound of an aircraft docking was heard outside. The face of the person was hidden among the vague branches, and the familiar black boots caught everyone's sight.
