Chapter 349 - Raging Flame

CHAPTER 349
"Do not wish that. Everything in life has its reasons. We should be grateful to God to have even known these ladies and have them as relatives. Who knows if things were reversed if we would have done worse? Be thankful that we can be there for them."
Listening to her husband, Lin Huilang knew he had a strong point. Wishes are for wishing and reality is as it is. "Okay." She nodded her agreement and managed to give a weak smile.
"Great, now do not cry anymore. I would treat you well tonight my darling, hmm." He pulled back from the hug and smiled at her before bringing her face closer for a kiss. "Let's go home."

It did not take long after the drove off that Li Jing arrived in her grandfather's compound. She wasted no time coming down and storming into the house. All through her drive there she had been thinking of what he said. Her mother was bloody innocent yet he had the guts to say that about her.
Besides she herself, had done all he asked of her and never once complained. All the challenges and tests brought, she successfully countered that but now it was the time for her to decide what her life would be like and with whom she would spend it.
All through she had been getting angry in her mind and saying things to herself.
'As if I have not sacrificed enough, was it not because I refused to get back to Ye Cheng that his heart became cold towards me? Perhaps he had been thinking I did not want him and that was why I gave those excuses or something.' Li Jing thought.
Her heart ached when she recalled that he failed to pick her call that day and that perhaps it was due to her staying away.
Right there and then she stopped and rested against the wall. 'What if it is true that my coming here destroyed all that would or should have happened between Ye Cheng and I?'
She had said her earlier thoughts out without any thought to it but when she really pondered on it, it hurt severely. If that was the case then her moving just broke what she cherished.
Yes it did help her understand that she wanted and needed him in her life but now was he willing to even remain with her?
As her pain rose, so did her anger. "It is all because of grandpa and now he just doesn't want to let me live my life the way I deem it fit."
With that, she pulled away from the wall and made her way to the living room to look for him.
He needed to hear her mind. She was going to pour it all out and whatever would be, would be.
With the sounds of her heels thundering against the tiled floor, Lin Zian raised his head to watch her entering the living room.
Right there and then she looked like a raging flame with the way she moved and how beautifully the breeze took her hair with it only made it feel like she was a flame dancing to the tune of the wind.
A magnificent picture worthy of painting. That was what she was and for a moment there, Lin Zian actually forgot the angry flame that stormed his way till she got there. All he saw was the magnificence of her being and how much she looked like his daughter when her anger took over.
Yeah, both ladies were indeed calm, charming, cool, intelligent but rarely angry. And whenever they got angry, it was as though all hell was broke loose on whatever or whomever they got angry at.
He hadn't seen her angry for this six months of living together until this day when he spoke of her mother anyhow, a woman she knew not and probably had never seen face to face as far as her memory was concerned.
That was another quality both ladies possessed. Whenever Quinyang heard him quarrel with her mother, her anger would burst forth. It wasn't a normal occurrence though for the couple to fight but Quinyang believed in the perfect home and marriage and would not want to see it happen at all.
He could see his daughter in his granddaughter and a pain struck home as the memories of his earlier life flashed before his eyes again.
Li Jing did not say anything yet but stared into her grandfather's eyes and watched what he was looking at. But all she could see was her own reflection in his eyes but on closer look at his expression, it was like he was seeing beyond her.
With hands on her hips, Li Jing shook her head to clear her eyes. She would not be deceived by anything or anyone. "Grandfather."
It was now that Lin Zian blinked then he shook his head briefly. The picture in his mind cleared and who faced him was none other than his grandchild. "Li Jing.":
"Why?"
"Li Jing," he paused then lowered his head. How was he going to best explain it to her for her to see it from his own point of view?
All he meant was for her own good, so why did everyone make it seem as though he was the devil incarnate himself?
Like a rushing wind, Lin Zian did not know what took over him but the next thing, he lifted his eyes and peered back deep down into hers.
Li Jing was shocked by the sudden change and in that her brief moment of surprised, he choose to implement the element of surprise. "You would remarry. You would divorce Ye Cheng and Marry Kim Fan."
Whether she liked it or not, whether she hated him or she forgave him later or not, this was for her own good. He could not bear the thought of risking it and letting her fall in love and then it is not enough, something bad happens.
"Grandfather!"
