Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1428: Chapter 1422: If I Can’t Have It, No One Can_1 Chapter 1428: Chapter 1422: If I Can’t Have It, No One Can_1 “Haha, even if you hate me, what can you do? That woman still left you. She doesn’t really love you, does she?” Jing Yuan shouted uncontrollably at Jing Xin’s retreating figure.

“Shut up.” Jing Xin was enraged. His wife had sought Qin Xue when she was desperate. Although he knew his wife loved him, Jing Yuan’s words still angered him. It reminded him of his wife who was still grieving. He hated himself.

If he had been more cautious, he wouldn’t have been manipulated. If it weren’t for this woman, he wouldn’t have been separated from his wife and child. Now, he was working hard to expand his reach to the Imperial Capital, intending to relocate there to be with his family. However, this woman reopened his wounds. It made him want to lash out violently.

“What? Did I hit a nerve? Then how about this: you marry me, and I’ll help you find her. How about that?” Jing Yuan said callously. Her older brother was their parents’ favorite, and she hated that she couldn’t have him for herself. But what about Jing Xin? The man who was always neglected by their parents, whom she had been in love with for so long. Isn’t that good enough?

“Forget it. Give up. Even if we didn’t have a sibling relationship, it would still be impossible. You disgust me.” Jing Xin left without looking back.

“Jing Xin, come back, come back.” Jing Yuan collapsed to the ground, deeply wounded by Jing Xin’s words. How could he treat her so? Was it wrong for her to desire him? Did Fang Xiu love him deeper than she did? Did she love him for longer? She didn’t, right? If not, then why couldn’t he see her good side? Why?

Jing Yuan cried until she ran out of tears, then slowly got up and walked home. She lost the mood for loitering outside, instead opting to think about what to do next at home. She didn’t know if she should tell Jing Peng.

“Yuanyuan, where have you been? Have you been crying?” Jing Xiaonan called to his daughter when she got home. Her eyes were red, a clear sign she had been crying.

“Dad, I’m fine. I just got some sand in my eyes and rubbed them too hard.” Jing Yuan looked at her father who had always treated her well. Except for her mother, everyone in her house treated her well. But now, the person she loved the most was gone.

So she felt that nothing mattered anymore. Let bygones be bygones. She wouldn’t be heartbroken again. As Jing Xin said, she was disgusting and dirty. She had no right to love him anymore.

“Your hands are full of germs. Don’t rub your eyes with them. Yuanyuan, if there’s anything troubling you, just tell your dad. Don’t keep it to yourself,” Jing Xiaonan earnestly advised. He loved her mother, but some things were beyond his control. The least he could do was care for their daughter, which made him feel slightly less guilty about his treatment of her mother.

“I understand, dad. You’re so kind.” Jing Yuan looked at her father with red, teary eyes. Yet she couldn’t share her troubles with him. She had to carry the burden alone.

“Silly girl, you’re my daughter. Isn’t it my duty to be good to you?” Seeing Jing Yuan’s face, which looked so much like his beloved woman, Jing Xiaonan smiled tenderly.

“Oh, what’s this? A touching father-daughter moment? How moving.” Mrs. Jing walked in on this scene. Seeing Jing Xiaonan acting kindly to their daughter reminded her of the woman in his heart. She didn’t love him, but he threatened her into treating their ‘little bitch’ daughter well. Seeing their bonding irritated her.
