Chapter 1078 - 1120: Not Loving Means Not Loving
Xue Rong insisted, "Feelings can be cultivated gradually. Maybe he doesn’t like Jianning now, but Jianning is so excellent. I believe that as time goes by, with the two of them under the same roof every day, he will eventually feel affection towards Jianning!"
Nan Mingchuan’s face turned red with anger, and he roared, "You think, you think, everything is what you think! Sisi has been dead for five years. If he were to like Jianning, he would have liked her long ago and wouldn’t have waited until today! To take a step back, even if he marries Jianning and still can’t love her, they would end up divorcing. What do you plan to do then? Their happiness will be ruined by you!"
Afraid that Nan Mingchuan might actually take her back, Nan Jinning hurriedly promised, "Uncle, rest assured, I definitely won’t divorce. I will certainly make my brother-in-law fall in love with me!"
Nan Mingchuan glared at her fiercely, "Shut up! You’re the one who caused all this trouble, and you still dare to speak here!"
Xue Rong lifted her chin confidently and said, "No, with Jianning being so outstanding, how could he possibly not love her! Besides, as long as I am here, I will absolutely not allow them to divorce!"
Hearing Xue Rong’s words, Nan Mingchuan almost choked in anger, "You don’t allow, you don’t allow, what right do you have to not allow it? Did you give birth to him or raise him? To put it bluntly, if he hadn’t married Sisi back then, you’d just be an outsider, so what right do you have to interfere with him? As dignified as the president of Huo Tian Group, with its vastness and hundreds of thousands of employees under his command, why should he take orders from you? What qualification do you have to make him listen to you? Please recognize your identity, will you? People must have self-awareness!"
Xue Rong argued confidently, "I may not have given birth to him or raised him, but a son-in-law is like half a son, so he is like my half-son now. Why wouldn’t I have the right to manage him?"
Seeing that she remained stubborn despite his efforts, he nearly lost his breath in frustration.
At this moment, Ling Yueyue and Huo Junmo walked down hand in hand!
Ling Yueyue smiled lightly and spoke to the butler, "Butler, quickly help Miss Cousin and the in-laws pack their luggage, can’t you see they’re about to leave? Make sure the luggage is packed, and arrange a car to send them to the airport! By the way... call Assistant Meng first and have him contact the airport to check the time of the next flight. If it’s too late, have the airport arrange for our private jet to take them away! Ensure you see them board the plane and see it take off before returning, understand?"
"Yes, I’ll arrange that right away!" The butler nodded and turned to make the arrangements.
Xue Rong glared angrily at Ling Yueyue, exclaiming, "Ling Yueyue, what right do you have to order us to leave! This is my daughter’s, my grandson’s home, what right do you have to interfere?"
Ling Yueyue responded mercilessly, "Sorry, your daughter is already dead, and your grandson doesn’t welcome you. What face do you have to remain here?"
"You...!" Xue Rong was about to retort, but Huo Junmo interrupted, "Mother-in-law, I’ve already said what needs to be said, but if you don’t understand, then I don’t mind repeating it! I’ve never had romantic feelings for Nan Jinning; I only see her as a sister! If I, Huo Junmo, can’t get married in this lifetime, I still wouldn’t marry her, nor would I have the so-called feelings developed over time! I certainly wouldn’t abandon Yueyue or our child! So you’re better off giving up and leaving with your husband and Jianning; maybe there’s still hope for Nanshang Group! If you remain stubborn, you’ll only suffer as a result!"
"Brother-in-law...!" Hearing Huo Junmo’s words, Nan Jinning struggled to cope; her eyes reddened instantly.
Huo Junmo looked at Nan Jinning unwaveringly and said, "Jianning, not liking means not liking, and it’ll never change! I appreciate the feelings you’ve had for me over the years, but I really have no interest in you whatsoever! I absolutely will not marry you! Moreover, even my parents have no right to interfere in my marriage, let alone you! My life is for me to decide! You’d better give up on me early and find a man who loves you to marry! Stop wasting time on me!"
Provoked by Huo Junmo, tears began to flow uncontrollably from Nan Jinning’s eyes.
"Boo hoo... Huo Junmo, I hate you, I despise you...!" Nan Jinning exclaimed angrily, stomped her feet, and ran upstairs holding her face, without looking back.
Watching Nan Jinning leave in distress, Xue Rong approached Huo Junmo, pointed at him, and demanded harshly, "Huo Junmo, what right do you have to treat Jianning like this? Why do you hurt her this way? How is she any less than this vixen, why do you harm Jianning for such a worthless woman?"
Huo Junmo replied firmly, word by word, "Love is love, not loving is not loving! As someone with experience, you should know better than I do! At the time, if you didn’t love your husband, would you have married him? If you were asked to marry a man you didn’t love, would you marry him? Answer me, if you couldn’t do it yourself, what gives you the right to ask me to do so? Just because Nan Jinning is your niece? Pursuing happiness for your niece is your right, but whether I accept it or not is my right!"
"...!" Rebutted by Huo Junmo, Xue Rong, usually adept at arguing, surprisingly was at a loss for words!
While she was silent, Nan Mingchuan quickly grabbed her wrist, exhaustedly saying, "Okay, enough already, stop being unreasonable, let’s go! Staying here would only bring humiliation upon ourselves! Young people have their own lives, we should refrain from interfering!"
As someone with experience, he knew better than anyone how painful it is to live a lifetime with someone you don’t love!
Since he had suffered such pain before, why put Huo Junmo through the same!
Actually, when Huo Junmo got married, he was dragged along by Xue Rong, not seeking a solution but just wanting an explanation!
Every time Nan Jinning came over, he would come to bring her back! But this time, when Xue Rong heard Ling Yueyue was pregnant, she packed the luggage and insisted on dragging him along! No matter how he tried, he couldn’t stop her!
As a result, they caused such a commotion that his painstakingly-built Nanshang Group almost fell to ruin!
This woman acts too impulsively and selfishly, only considering herself and never thinking for others!
