When Father Jing said this, Mother Jing once again swallowed her anger and grumbled, “Well, she still shouldn't have scolded her with such vulgar words.”

“Jing Lu deserved it; even if she had gotten beaten, let alone only being scolded. Why can't she be scolded when she was the one who had done wrong?”

With that said, Father Jing turned to Jing Qian and said, “Qianqian, your mother and I have just found out about what happened, and we feel extremely guilty about it. We didn't know how and when Jing Lu had fallen in love with Qin Yi. While you were away, she used the excuse of going to her cla.s.smates to fool us, but instead, she was at Qin Yi's house.

“But Qin Yi only treated her like how you would have. He only took her in as a younger sister. Jing Lu may have stayed overnight at Qin Yi's place but she slept in the guest room. When you dashed into Qin Yi's house, he was worried that you may overthink it, which was why he had tried to stop you from entering. It was Xiao Lu who was acting like a child.

“She wanted you to misunderstand the relations.h.i.+p between her and Qin Yi. Therefore, when Qin Yi wasn't aware, she ran to his bedroom and placed all of her clothes into his wardrobe, making it look as if they had been sleeping together.

“However, the truth is that there is nothing going on between the two of them. I can promise you that.

“As for Xiao Lu, we have been talking to her about this for the past few days and have already lectured her, telling her that what she did wasn't righteous. Seeing that Jing Lu is still a child and she is your younger sister, would it be alright for you to forgive your sister?”

Jing Qian looked at Father Jing, her beautiful, peach blossom eyes turning dark.

If Jing Qian had been useless to them previously, it would have made sense why they would care more for the young and sick daughter.

But now, even when she was the one who could control the life and death of the Jing family, this couple was still standing on Jing Lu's side.

Jing Qian could not hold her temper in and was just about to speak up when a loud 'bang' came from upstairs.

Jing Qian looked up and saw a 17-year-old teenage boy staring furiously at Father Jing. There was a gloomy expression on his face.

When Father Jing saw the look on his son's face, he quickly asked, “Xiao Jie, what's the matter with you?”

However, Jing Jie ignored his father. He turned to Jing Qian and demanded bluntly, “Come up here.”

Jing Qian raised her brows as she stood up and walked to the stairs.

Jing Qian had a younger sister and a younger brother.

Jing Lu was one year younger than her. She was 19 this year, a freshman in the same school as her—H City Academy of Arts.

Jing Jie, her younger brother, was 17 years old and still in high school.

Other than Jing Qian, the other children of the Jing family were born with some congenital defects.

Jing Lu was born with a congenital heart disease. If she took good care of her health, she may be able to live a long life. If she didn't or if she got too emotional, there was a chance that she may lose her life.

Jing Jie had problems with speaking, as he didn't speak until he was three years old. After visiting some doctors, he was diagnosed with severe autism.

Fortunately, the Jing family was rich enough to treat his condition for the past 10 years. Therefore, Jing Jie had made tremendous improvement, even though his academic results were still bad when compared to other kids his age.

Basically, Jing Jie's results were always the last ten in his grade.

From the memories of the previous owner, the reason why she had been so nice to her siblings was mainly because of what she was taught since childhood.

'Your father and I have given you a perfect, healthy body but when you were born, your mother's body got damaged. Therefore, when your mother gave birth to your siblings, both of them became sick. As the eldest and the only one that is healthy, you should be nice to your younger siblings. You should give them everything that they want. Who can you blame when you're the one who took away their health?'

This was why Jing Qian had always tolerated Jing Lu and Jing Jie.
