Love You Till the End

Chapter 1076 - 1084: Daughter, I Have Always Paid Back Grievances and Revenged Enmity

Qi Jingren looked up and probably saw the guilt in Mo Jin’s eyes. She said, "Actually, I no longer blame you. In these months since I left the President’s Mansion, I have at least confirmed one thing. The man you chose for me to marry is a very good person in all respects, with great character."

"Really?" Mo Jin smiled as she spoke, "So, do you agree to this marriage?"

"I don’t agree." Qi Jingren directly answered his question and then explained her reason for disagreeing: "Shi Aoju and I are not people from the same world. Forcing such a pair to live together will not lead to happiness."

"Why?" Mo Jin asked.

"Because he has someone he loves." Qi Jingren knew her father very well. Although he acted decisively, he wouldn’t make a decision blindly, so annulling the engagement with Shi Aoju required further discussion.

"I’ll have someone investigate whether he has someone he loves. Now that you’re back, you should stay at the President’s Mansion and not go anywhere else," Mo Jin said with a serious expression. "You are the heir to the next President. Being often seen in public will invite danger; do you know that?"

"I said I won’t be the President," Qi Jingren said. "My brother is more qualified than I am; he is more suitable to govern the country. I’m just a woman. My ambition, no matter how big, is only a tenth of a man’s. If I really became President, I would eventually lose the foundation you’ve built."

The reason Qi Jingren left the President’s Mansion was for two reasons: her engagement to Shi Aoju and being chosen as the next heir. Neither of these was what she wanted, so she refused to compromise.

If it weren’t for what happened to Su Jiuyi, Qi Jingren might not have returned because she knew clearly that once she returned to this place, she would no longer have freedom. The President’s Mansion was like a cage, imprisoning her harshly.

Mo Jin sighed and said earnestly, "Your brother can protect himself, but you cannot. Being part of the Royal Family, you have no choice. The greatest thing I can do for you is to give you a status. Only by being above can you avoid being hurt. Jingren, you must understand that everything your father does is for your sake."

"I know."

The marriage with the Shi Family was intended to strengthen the Mo Family’s position in the business and political fields. The Shi Family was extraordinarily wealthy; once the marriage was successful, the two families would become an unbreakable alliance.

Qi Jingren understood her father’s intentions clearly. He was doing this not for the Shi Family’s wealth, but to provide her with a strong support system. If she were to become President in the future, she would face myriad dangers, and only the Shi Family could withstand these issues.

The father and daughter fell into silence. No one knew how long it lasted before Qi Jingren broke it by asking Mo Jin, "Father, can you track Bei Mo’s whereabouts?"

"Bei Mo?" Mo Jin frowned, "Why are you investigating his whereabouts?"

"He hurt my friend, and it was a serious injury," Qi Jingren raised an eyebrow and said, "Father, I have always believed in repaying grievances and avenging debts. Whatever he owes me, I must get it back."

"Jingren." Mo Jin’s face suddenly darkened as he scolded her. "The Bei Family is old friends with us, and Bei Mo is the General’s son. You can’t just act recklessly."
