5. I refuse
5. I refuse
Jane Christine kicked the desk with a loud thud, and the heavy solid wood desk was kicked several paces away, tearing out a few deep folds in the red carpet.
Jian Ling and Jian Xin were both twins born casually when he was fooling around with women outside when he was young, and if it weren't for Angela's failure to give birth to a son for him, he wouldn't have thought of these two lowly-born illegitimate children at all.
What made him feel that Jian Xin was very competitive, not only was his academic performance among the best every year, but also his good looks, and after Jian Xin graduated with the first grade in the school by jumping three poles in a row, he was immediately assigned to the highly valued Carat base. It is said that he has performed extremely well in the base in the past two years, and has been promoted to the rank of colonel, and at the current rate of promotion, he is likely to become the youngest general in the history of the empire after Xia.
But there are joys and worries, compared to the excellent Jian Xin, Jian Ling is simply a piece of mud that can't support the wall. Previously, because of her marriage contract with Xia, he still had a little hope for this daughter - no matter how stupid and capricious she was, at least she could marry into the royal family in the future and add a bargaining chip to the future of the Jane family.
But now, even this little bit of existence value has been completely destroyed by her, what is the use of him keeping her as a waste?
Jane Christine stood up slowly, even though the Jane family had slowly declined, his majesty as an earl was still there, and the invisible sense of oppression quickly emanated: "I don't care what method you use now, whether it's crying and pretending to be pitiful, or losing your self-esteem and kneeling on the ground, you immediately go to apologize to General Xia, beg for his forgiveness, and let those damn sentences all go to hell."
Jian Ling remained motionless and looked at him quietly: "I refuse." ”
The three words are concise and concise, without waves and loud.
"You are not qualified to say no" Jane Christine pursed her lips, her face turned blue with anger, "You were born as a member of my Jane family, and died as a ghost of my Jane family, you were born to live for the honor of the Jane family, if you can't do this, why am I letting you live?" ”
"If I'm not mistaken, I was born in the lowliest ghetto, and you didn't show up at that time." Jian Ling smiled coldly, like a sharp blade shining with cold light, "Lord Earl, I was born without your permission, so I don't have to decide my death. ”
"You" Jane Christine didn't catch her breath, her face turned from blue to purple. He covered his chest angrily, and looked at her with eyes that were not like his father, but more like a beast that wanted to tear apart his prey, "The family is unfortunate, how could the Jian family give birth to such a rebellious girl as you?" Get out, get out of here immediately, I don't want to see you again"
"Are you sure you want me to get out?" Jian Ling pointed to the wound at the corner of his mouth, and seemed to be smiling, "I was kicked out of the Jian family like this, if someone else saw it, what do you think they would think?" Stepmother abusing her daughter? Father watched coldly? How do you plan to explain to the Human Rights House then? ”
"You're threatening me?"
"It's not a threat, it's just a kind reminder," she casually ruffled the broken hair from her forehead, revealing a piercing pale pink scar, "and here, I think you should know where it came from, of course, if you forget, you can ask my three sisters, that bottle is so sharp that it almost ruined my eye." No matter how disgusted I am, I'm also a full citizen with an imperial ID card, is this level of abuse enough to take you all to court? ”
Jane Christine was already trembling with rage, and he casually picked up a lamp next to him and threw it at her.
With this level of attack, Jian Ling easily avoided it by taking two steps out of the way. It's just that at the moment when the desk lamp was thrown, she didn't forget to take out her portable personal communicator, turn on the shooting function, and quickly shoot this scene.
There was a loud "pop", and the lamp slammed into the door and broke into seven or eight pieces.
She pulled out the photo and put it on a three-dimensional image for Jane Christine to see: "Now that you even have evidence of beating your daughter, dear Earl, what else do you need to explain?" ”
"Maurice, get this rebel girl for me"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Maurice's figure appeared. It's too late, it's too fast, the moment Morris reached out and snatched the communicator, Jian Ling pressed the send button without thinking about it, and all the images were sent to the imperial network, becoming a public resource that everyone in the country can view at will.
Maurice handed the stolen communicator to Jane Christine with both hands, and he looked at the images that were posted on the Internet, his face completely sank to the bottom of the water, and a murderous aura arose.
If she were an ordinary little girl, she might have been scared by his murderous aura and softened, but for Jian Ling, who used to have blood on her hands, this murderous aura would not pose any threat at all. Her expression was calm: "Don't think about how to kill me now, because if I die at this time, the people of the whole universe will think that the Earl did it." I remember, according to the laws of the Empire, premeditated murder was punishable by life imprisonment. ”
"What the hell do you want?" Jane Christine could almost hear herself grinding her teeth as she said this.
"What else? My esteemed Earl, to be kind to my daughter now is to be kind to yourself, and I really don't want to see you pushed to the law by those human rights councillors to be sentenced, and the taste of imprisonment is not very pleasant. ”
Jane Christine grabbed the last shred of reason and squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth: "I don't want to see you now"
Jian Ling knew that this was almost the same, and if she continued to stimulate it, she would probably have to turn things back, so she obediently accepted it when she saw it: "Then I'll go back to my room to rest first, and when my brother comes back, please send someone to inform me." ”
As soon as she turned and took two steps, she suddenly turned around again and held out her hand to Jane Christine: "Please give me back the communicator." ”
With a click, Jane Christine crumpled the communicator in her hand into pieces, and her eyes seemed to have grazed the tip of a knife, stabbing into Jian Ling's body.
Jian Ling shrugged helplessly: "Well, if smashing a communicator can make your poor self-esteem feel better, I don't care." ”
After speaking, she walked out of the study without looking back, and did not forget to close the door at the end.
There was a muffled sound of things hitting the ground behind him, but Jian Ling didn't hear it, and the sneer on his face gradually faded, leaving only indifference and calmness.
