The Genius Doctor, My Wife, Is Valiant

Jing Lu’s face turned dark while Qin Yi raised up his hands with three fingers lifted without any hesitation and swore, “Of course! I am a righteous man, and I did not do such things. Why would I be scared to take such an oath? With the gods above me, I, Qin Yi, hereby swear that there is nothing between me and Jing Lu. If there was, I would be hated by millions, remain a failure my entire life, my family will be in ruins and I will live in poverty for the rest of my life.”

With that, Qin Yi looked at Jing Qian, the expression on his face saying, ‘I have already done till this extent. I won’t take it that you still wouldn’t believe me.’

 Jing Qian had a glamorous smile on her face.

“Okay then. I trust you now, but if there’s any unfortunate things that happen in the future, please do not blame me. The wise men have said that you should never make an oath so casually. Otherwise, it will come true.”

Qin Yi was speechless. Did this mean that she believed him or not?

“That’s enough. Qin Yi has already made such an evil oath. Let’s move on from such unhappy matters. Take a seat and let’s have a nice dinner together.”

“Jing Jie, get over here.”

Father Jing has just made the situation a little bit better when Mother Jing once again started commanding Jing Jie.

“It’s alright. Don’t you know that Jing Jie likes being with his elder sister? Just let him be if he wants to sit next to Qianqian.”

In the end, Jing Qian sat next to Jing Jie while Mother Jing and Jing Lu sat on the opposite side. Qin Yi was on one end of the table and Father Jing was on another end.

Jing Qian’s only intention for coming home today was the food. Plus, the previous owner had been eating the dishes that Aunt Wu had prepared, which was why Jing Qian had enjoyed the food as well.

Over dinner, Father Jing was constantly chatting with Jing Qian. Jing Qian remained nice and polite and the entire dinner went on peacefully.

As the dishes were getting finished and they had already covered most of the topics, Father Jing noticed that Jing Qian was now in a better mood, which was why he brought up the topic.

“Qianqian, I have already found out about what happened this morning. Una had cancelled your role as the first female lead without your knowledge. This is entirely her fault and what she did was definitely wrong. However, Una is Qin Yi’s aunt. Now that Zhongbo has fired her and is asking for financial compensation from her, they even cancelled Qin Yi’s role as the first male lead and Xiao Lu’s role as the second female lead…”

Father Jing paused for a moment, and when he saw that Jing Qian had no intention of replying to him, he had no other choice but to make it even more obvious.

“You have been dating Qin Yi for two years and I have been seeing this kid since then. When he was with you, he had always kept his promise with me that he would never touch you before marriage. Although he and Jing Lu have made you unhappy recently, we’re still a family. Do you think it’s possible for you to ask Zhongbo to return Qin Yi and Jing Lu’s roles to them?”

“Return?” Jing Qian latched onto that word and laughed. “Father, do you think that these roles belonged to them?”

Father Jing was put into a difficult spot as he smiled awkwardly, “Well, of course not, but…”

“Since it isn’t theirs, then there’s no such thing as ‘returning’ it to them. They are not Zhongbo’s artists. Father, did you think I would be able to get Zhongbo to willingly spend money on them and give them a role each? After giving them the roles, will the money that these two earn be returned to Zhongbo?”

Father Jing was at a loss of words as he realized that it wasn’t as easy as he thought to talk to Jing Qian.

“Zhongbo is loaded. Why would they even care about the small amount of money that they will be spending on Qin Yi and Jing Lu? Plus, you are the Young Mistress of the Zhan family. Would it be that difficult for you to just give them these roles?” Mother Jing asked impatiently.

Jing Qian was still elegantly enjoying her food, not giving a damn about the request that was coming from this ruthless family.

“Mother, this is why father’s company failed, even though it was just a small business, and the Zhan family’s businesses are flourishing. There is always a reason for these differences.”

“What are you trying to say?”

Mother Jing really hated the way that Jing Qian was talking to her right now.

*TL note: anyone noticed the difference between how Jing Lu and Jing Qian addresses Mother Jing? :p
