Chapter 158
Ji Yu’s voice was as soft as ever, “Mom, we didn’t fall in love early, much less use our beauty to do inappropriate things as you said.”
Although, it was true that she and Ling Yuan did do things that only couples would do, and she wouldn’t try to argue anything, but she wouldn’t admit it if it was said that she used her beauty to do inappropriate things.
“No?” Bai Yang gripped the phone with his hand and said stiffly, “You still deny it? I heard that you guys are kissing each other and you still say no? Is this something a normal friendship would do? Tell me honestly, how far have you guys gotten?”
Ji Yu bit her lip, her eyes instantly reddening.
She really couldn’t refute this point.
Ling Yuan was more than just a senior and a friend to her, he was also her spiritual support, the navigational ship that guided her when she lost her way time and time again.
“Mom, if you must ask me to say it, I can only tell you that we will be together in the future.”
“Future?” Bai Yang sneered, “What qualifications do you have to talk about the future as you are now?”
“Even if Ling Yuan promised you something, how can you guarantee that he won’t change in the future? It’s not easy for a family like his to find a pretty one? Just by ticking his finger, there will be a large number of women swarming over. You’re young and pretty now, he likes you, but when he meets a prettier one in the future, do you think he’ll change his mind?”
Bai Yang spoke with some bitterness, “Xiao Yu ah, mom is a person who has been there, how could she not understand the flowery ways of those rich families? These second generation rich people, when they are young, they find a pretty one to fall in love with, and when they are old enough to get married, they dump their girlfriends and listen to their family’s arrangement to find a suitable young lady to get married. Which one of these rich families isn’t like that? For example, your Uncle Leung, he can’t escape either. Don’t hold on to the naive thought that Ling Yuan can make an exception for you.”
Liang Zhongwen’s ex-wife is indeed and his door-to-door gold lady, after she died, there are people looking for him to marry, Liang Zhongwen refused, all said that the first marriage is the parents’ order of the matchmaker’s words, the second marriage with their own mind, which is looking for Bai Yang.
Bai Yang said these reasons, Ji Yu is not not understand, even if her emotional experience is not much, she has watched TV, of course, also know the rules of the game behind the mansion.
However, Ling Yuan was not them.
Ling Yuan was not like them either.
She could see his bare heart, not that kind of false affection.
Ji Yu also didn’t know if she was considered a love brain like this, but at this moment, she didn’t regret liking him.
And, liking him, she hadn’t given up anything for him.
“Mom, do you not want me to be with Ling Yuan, or do you not want me to fall in love early?”
If she didn’t want her to fall in love early, then, no matter who she was with, Bai Yang would be against it, but if it was because she didn’t want her to be with Ling Yuan, then the reasoning behind it was open to examination.
Bai Yang asked back, “Is there a difference between the two? Anyway, your main task now is to study, even if you have other ideas, you have to put them away.”
Ji Yu says slowly, “Mom, why are you avoiding answering? Don’t say that Ling Yuan and I aren’t together right now, take a step back, even if I am with him, as long as we don’t interfere with our studies, I can’t think of any reason for you to object.”
Bai Yang listened to her daughter’s calm and waveless voice on the other end of the phone, and had a feeling of powerlessness like a fist hitting cotton.
He had always thought that this daughter was soft and supple in nature, but now he realized that this was just a layer of her protective color in front of outsiders.
“Why don’t I have any reason to object? As long as I’m your mom, I have reason to object. Xiaoyu, I’m telling you properly now, don’t refuse to listen, the college entrance exam is really important for you. You’re a girl, there’s not much mom can do to help you. If you don’t have a high education and a good income, everyone will look down on you. Even if it’s Ling Yuan, he’s so rich, he’s still studying hard to get into a good university. If you don’t take care of yourself and go to a second or third rate university in the future, what can you do?”
Bai Yang’s words were not unreasonable, Ji Yu was silent for a moment before he spoke, “Mom, I know everything you’ve said, and I’ve listened to your words.”
“But,” Ji Yu said in a calm voice, “believe it or not, he and I are not in a relationship.”
“I promise you I’ll study hard, and so will Ling Yuan, that’s something we agreed to do ……”
Bai Yang coldly interrupted her, “That means you are unwilling to distance yourself from him?”
“Ling Yuan will be taking the college entrance exam soon, can you guarantee that you won’t have an argument before his entrance exam? What if you have a fight? Can you guarantee that it won’t affect his mood for the exam? If he fails the exam because of this, is the responsibility on you or on me?”
Ji Yu’s brows twisted into a chuan, “Mom, what do you mean by that?”
“Even if Ling Yuan fails the exam, even if it has something to do with me, what does that have to do with you? Why should it be on your head?”
“Are you hiding something from me?”
Bai Yang’s tone suddenly changed, “After all, you’re stubborn, my words don’t work anymore, right? Am I still your mother?”
Ji Yu was silent for a few seconds, thinking, this is the real Bai Yang, right?
Although she didn’t quite remember things from her childhood, she had the impression that Bai Yang and Ji Zhao often quarreled, and when they quarreled, Bai Yang was particularly fierce and hysterical.
When she was a child, she didn’t know any better and thought that they fought because of her, she would go to pull her mom’s hand, and her mom would fling her away, her tone as cold as it is now, “Don’t touch me!”
Later, when she grew up, she slowly realized that her mom and dad had quarreled not because of her, but because of money.
Then later, Bai Yang married to Fengcheng, said to have married to a very good family, since then Bai Yang never looked for her, nor cared for her.
Perhaps it was the life of a noble lady that made her gather all her edges, Ji Yu hadn’t seen Bai Yang angry for a long, long time.
It turned out that she would still be angry with her.
Ji Yu said in a warm voice, “Mom, whether you or I admit it or not, our mother-daughter relationship is here.”
“I’m also grown up now, there are some things that I can make my own decisions, you just take care of your sister, as for the matter with Ling Yuan, let me deal with it on my own, okay?”
Bai Yang suddenly hated this kind of Ji Yue a little, because the current Ji Yue was exactly the same as the previous Ji Zhao.
No matter how angry she got or how much she lost her temper, he was always calm and unassuming, but she didn’t know that it was his nonchalant attitude that caused the fire in her heart to grow even bigger.
Her emotions came up all of a sudden, and she said in a hard voice, “How can you deal with it? Aren’t you just a stalling tactic? I don’t want to say more words, and you don’t want to listen to what I say. I just ask you one thing, do you break contact with Ling Yuan?”
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
After a long time, Ji Yu sighed softly, “I’m sorry mom, I can’t promise you this.”
“I’ve already assured you that we won’t affect our studies, and we’ll clean up our emotions, not to mention the college entrance exams.”
“Good, good.” Bai Yang was furious, “Ji Yu, I’m telling you, if my relationship with your Uncle Liang is affected because of you and Ling Yuan, don’t come to me even if you have anything in the future.”
