CHAPTER 530: CHAPTER 250 SUCH A MAN, IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO LOVE (1 MORE)

"Xavier, let me tell you, even if I’ve been deceived, I will absolutely not listen to another word of nonsense from you.

You’re nothing but a scoundrel, unable to lead a good life yourself, and always dragging others down with you.

Falling for you was blindness on my part.

From now on, keep your opinions about my life to yourself."

Jane Quinlan said this as she took hold of her father with one hand and her mother with the other, and so angrily left.

This time, Xavier didn’t chase after her again.

Reaching the doorway, that’s when Jane finally released her parents.

Jane’s mother was utterly confused.

But Jane’s father’s expression showed some disquiet: "Your cousin and aunt said your boyfriend is the heir to Skyward Group. Is that true?"

Jane found it hard to meet her father’s eyes.

Yet she gathered her courage and nodded: "Yes."

Jane’s mother covered her mouth: "Oh my God, Old Quinlan, what good fortune has our family stumbled upon.

How could Jane possibly..."

"Shut your mouth," Quinlan’s usually mild-mannered father probably said such harsh words to her mother for the first time in his life.

Jane’s mother was stunned: "What’s the matter with you, glaring at our daughter like that."

"You old fool, don’t you understand?

That young man just now might not look like anything good, but what he said was true.

Kay Forrest is the famous heir of the nation-wide Skyward Group.

But what about our daughter?

She’s just a worker’s daughter.

We have held our child back; how could she, a commoner, have the capability to marry into a wealthy family?"

Quinlan’s father’s words brought a surge of tears to Jane’s eyes.

Her humble background and family’s financial situation had always been her greatest insecurities.

But she never imagined that even her father shared the same thoughts.

It seems this truly was her Achilles’ heel.

Even if Forrest loves her now, she may ultimately not be the best match for him.

She had always known this fact.

Seeing the father and daughter’s troubled faces,

Jane’s mother glared at Quinlan’s father: "What do you mean by that.

What is my daughter lacking?

Is a poor background something my daughter could control?

Only you and I are to blame for not being capable enough.

But what does that have to do with my daughter’s marriage?

My daughter is marrying a man who can cherish her for a lifetime, not his family’s social status.

If Kay Forrest wants to marry my daughter, he must show genuine sincerity.

His good circumstances are his business, not what we asked for."

"Mom, Dad, stop arguing."

Jane sighed and interrupted the quarrel between them.

She hadn’t expected to encounter Xavier today.

What’s even more unexpected is that Xavier would stab her in the back so cruelly and forcefully.

"Let’s go back home first, we can talk about these things once we’re home."

Quinlan’s father shook off Jane’s hand that came to make peace: "We won’t go back to your place.

Knowing you’re well is enough to put our minds at ease; we’re going to the train station to buy tickets and head back now."

"Dad," Jane said, tears welling up as she grabbed Quinlan’s father’s hand, "please don’t be like this.

It’s not Kay Forrest’s background that I love.

The first time I met Kay, I didn’t know anything about his family circumstances.

I also didn’t know he was the heir to the Skyward Group when I fell for him.

He’s a good person, he treats me well, and those around me as well.

Didn’t you already know? He even helped my cousin find a job."

"That’s a debt you owe; do you think that’s something good?

Someday, you’ll feel inferior to him because of these things."

Quinlan’s father sighed: "Jane, your father wants what’s best for you, not..."

"I’m doing very well now; I’ve never been better than I am at this moment.

Dad, I love him, and it has nothing to do with his family’s status.

Even if his family has good standing, he’s still just the person who’d accompany me to eat at a street stall.

I hesitated when he first said he wanted to be with me.

I didn’t know what made me worthy to stand by his side.

But later on, he was really good to me; he never let others bully me, always protected me, and cared for me in silence.

I can’t help but love such a man.

Rather than choosing someone like Xavier, who cheated on me for a woman’s family status,

I would rather choose someone like Kay Forrest who boldly admits his past as a playboy, but promises his unwavering loyalty to me."

"A dog can’t change its habit of eating shit."

"Right, a dog can’t change its habit of eating shit, but Kay Forrest is a human.

Being intelligent means having self-control."

Jane’s father looked at his daughter, deeply in love, and felt very sad.

"So you’re determined to be with him?"

"Dad, I like him, really like him."

Jane’s mother patted her husband’s shoulder.

"That’s enough. Haven’t you seen the sparkle in Jane’s eyes when she talks about Forrest?

You can’t stop her now.

Women are just like that, you really don’t understand."

"I just want to protect you, little Jane." Jane’s father reached out to touch Jane’s face.

Jane held her father’s hand with pursed lips: "I know, but I want to tell you, I trust him."

Jane’s father sighed: "This is your own choice, you can’t have any regrets in the future."

Jane nodded forcefully: "Can we go to my place now?"

Jane’s mother nudged Jane’s father: "It’s not easy to visit our daughter.

Stop putting on a stern face, just smile."

Jane’s father thought for a moment and eventually nodded: "Let’s go."

Jane jumped up happily and walked to the edge of the road to hail a taxi.

After the three of them got into the taxi, Jane chatted with her parents about what was where as they went along.

It was only when they were almost home that she remembered something: "Mom, Dad, wait for me a sec, I need to call Forrest."

"Oh dear, Forrest must be busy. Let’s not disturb him."

"It’s fine," Jane said with a smile as she dialed Kay Forrest’s cell phone.

The call connected and Kay’s cheerful response came through: "Jane? Why is it your number?"

"The company just compensated me with a new phone, and I got my number back."

"I’ve already had someone go buy you a new one..." Kay Forrest felt like he was a step late.

He had been with her constantly these past few days and hadn’t thought to replace her phone.

He had planned to invite her to lunch today and then remembered that he couldn’t call her.

He had already arranged for someone to buy a new phone and bring it to her, but he hadn’t expected that it wouldn’t be delivered in time.

"Then just return it. There’s no use for so many."

"Let’s talk about that later. How are you doing? I didn’t go look for you for lunch today, are you getting used to it?"

"I’m quite used to it. Did you think I couldn’t live without you?"

"That’s indeed a sad piece of news for me."

Jane bit her lip, looked back at her parents with a smile, and said: "I wanted to tell you something.

My phone was broken these last couple of days.

My parents couldn’t find me and couldn’t get in touch with you either.

The elders got anxious and came straight to look for me."

Kay Forrest became slightly more serious: "Where are they now? I’ll send someone to pick them up."

"My cousin has already taken time off to fetch them. They’re right beside me now.

I’ve asked Director Moore for three days off to accompany them, and we’re on our way home."

"Alright, you guys go ahead, I’ll be there soon."

"No need, just get on with your work. Just come back in the evening."

"It’s fine, I’ve processed some extra files at noon, I can leave early in the afternoon.

There wasn’t anything major happening today anyway."

Jane thought it over and nodded: "Then we’ll head home first and wait for you."

As the two chatted happily, Jane’s mother said to Jane’s father: "Look, our daughter and Forrest have a good relationship.

They can really hold a conversation."

"If they have nothing to say to each other during the honeymoon phase, then that really is a sign to break up."

Jane’s father said these words with an unpleasant tone, but deep down he was actually quite reassured.

"Look at you, so negative, always talking about breaking up.

Can you let our daughter manage her own happiness?

We’ve been looking forward to her finding a boyfriend for so long, don’t always dampen her spirits."

But Jane’s father felt rather pessimistic in his heart.

Upon arriving in the residential area, Jane’s mother was surprised: "This complex is quite nice."

"It’s not bad, come on, we live on the top floor."

The three of them went upstairs together and entered the house. Jane’s mother couldn’t help but exclaim: "Rich people really do live well.

This house is also quite large, it’s a bit too spacious for just the two of you."

Jane said with a bit of pride: "The one across is also Forrest’s."

"Really? Bought two apartments?"

"Hmm."

Jane’s father walked around the apartment.

When he came out of the bedroom, he looked somewhat upset: "Jane, let me ask you, are you and Forrest living together?"
