Chapter 426: Talked About It, Separated Again

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Jiang Junlin smashed the pot and broke all bonds, putting an end to it once and for all.

“Jiang Junlin!” Grandfather Jiang exclaimed in anger, “You… you…”

He pointed at Jiang Junlin, wanting to curse him, but the words wouldn’t come out. Jiang Junlin knew he had crossed a line at home, and he didn’t try to defend himself any further. He had already said what needed to be said.

“Did you make up the lie about avoiding an arranged marriage on purpose?” Lin Chunli clung to a glimmer of hope, “Tell me, everything was a lie you fabricated, right?”

“Mom, it’s the truth!”

“I don’t believe it. No one is born this way. In our family… we’ve never had such a situation before,” Lin Chunli cried, still hoping for grandchildren. Was all that hope in vain?

“Liking someone is neither right nor wrong, regardless of gender. Marriage is the bridge that binds two families together. Throughout history, men have worked in the fields, while women managed the home. This created a fixed social structure. Survival mode dictates behavior. In ancient times, men did physical labor, and women depended on men to survive, so marriage and reproduction became essential. This fixed survival pattern has existed for thousands of years and is widely recognized as a social structure. Why is a behavior pattern outside this established structure considered wrong? It simply doesn’t conform to the norm, but does that mean it should be condemned? I haven’t harmed anyone, nor have 1 affected anyone’s interests. So, where am I wrong?”

Grandfather Jiang was still furious, “Thousands of years of validated beliefs have their reasons. If I hadn’t married your grandmother, there wouldn’t be your father, and there wouldn’t be you. Today’s family happiness wouldn’t exist.”

“After all is said and done, it’s about reproduction,” Jiang Junlin sighed. “Some people like children, so they respond to the country’s call and have three children. Some people don’t like children and choose to remain childless. Everyone has their own way of life. If you force me into an arranged marriage and marriage, it would be irresponsible to the woman and to my own life. Even if we have children, they won’t be happy. Grandfather, grandmother, dad, mom, if I can’t lead a happy life myself, how can I bring happiness to others? If I’m not happy, what’s the point of marriage?”

Grandfather Jiang slumped into the sofa, silent. They were a family of scholars and couldn’t use harsh words. Jiang Junlin’s words had closed off all their possible avenues.

Jiang Minghua was frustrated, “When did this start?”

Jiang Junlin began to weave his lie, “It started in high school. The guys in my dormitory would watch movies together, and they were all interested in the female characters in the films. I had no interest in them and would actually pay more attention to guys with good physiques. As 1 spent more time with them, I realized 1 was different from others.”

Gu Ci secretly thought, is this for real?

She couldn’t believe it! f reeweb novel.com

Her brother was the kind of person who would put on headphones and continue studying when his roommates were watching movies.

“So, it’s really something you were born with?” Lin Chunli was in despair, “Can’t it be changed?”

“Mom, it can’t be changed,” Jiang Junlin hinted with a smile, “It’s too late.”

“What do you mean by ‘too late’? Do you have a stable relationship?” Lin Chunli asked, and everyone’s eyes turned to him, filled with curiosity and fear, their breaths held in nervous anticipation.

“No!” Jiang Junlin shook his head.

The entire Jiang family breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Minghua, unusually stern, said, “Even if you can’t change, you have to change. In any case, we won’t allow it, and we won’t accept it.”

“I can like whoever 1 want, 1 don’t need your permission. Whether you accept it or not…” Jiang Junlin smiled self-deprecatingly, “No one asked you to accept it.”

With that, Jiang Junlin left and went upstairs.

“All, brother…” Gu Ci didn’t manage to call out before this unexpected drama unfolded. If she had known, she would have come back tomorrow. She lowered her head and comforted her grandmother, “Grandma, don’t cry, don’t cry, it’s all my brother’s fault. Let’s not be sad.”

Jiang Junlin had a different status at home. Even though he was a grandson, the elders were a bit wary of him. He tried to keep a low profile at home, but he truly was a decisive person. The family’s tastes would change according to his preferences, and although they would complain, they would still go along with it.

So, when Jiang Junlin came out to his family, despite their anger, what could they really do? Beating Jiang Junlin was impossible; he had never been disciplined by anyone in his entire life. Gu Ci couldn’t even imagine Jiang Junlin getting hit.

“No wonder he’s thirty-three and has never brought a girlfriend home. Why have 1 never heard any rumors?” Jiang Minghua was still angry, not knowing what to do.

This was the downside of a situation where the son’s authority was greater than the father’s. If Jiang Junlin had been more compliant, his father would have resorted to more extreme measures.

“Didn’t he mention having a girlfriend?” Lin Chunli cried, recalling the many love bites on Jiang Junlin’s body from several years ago when he was in a coma. Gu Ci felt awkward and chose not to respond.

Grandma Jiang, who had been silent, said softly, “He never said it was a girlfriend.”

Everyone was taken aback.

This was even more shocking news. They had just absorbed the bombshell that Jiang Junlin had dropped, and now they had to digest the fact that he had once been in love. Grandfather Jiang felt like his heart couldn’t take it anymore. “Cici, 1 can hardly breathe…”

“Get the emergency heart medication, give grandpa one.”

Lin Chunli brought the medicine box over from the side and actually gave him a pill. Lin Chunli then remembered the love bites on Jiang Junlin’s body and couldn’t help but think, How could it be… How could she have thought it was a fiery chili pepper? It turned out to be a man.

Those marks… How could they be from a woman!

She wished she could turn back time and give herself a slap. Why hadn’t she pursued the matter further?

Gu Ci keenly noticed that several pairs of eyes were fixed on her. She glanced at her watch, “Grandpa, grandma, it’s getting late, and Ziyu is home alone. I’m a bit worried, so 1 should go home first.”

She cleverly stood up but was pulled back by her weak grandmother, who sat back down. “Who is your brother dating?”

Gu Ci secretly wondered, is it appropriate to share this kind of privacy?

Can I say it?

“I don’t know,” Gu Ci put on a sincere face. “Grandma, you can ask my brother about it. I don’t know anything about his affairs.”

“You must know,” Grandfather also didn’t let her off the hook. “Cici, have pity on us and tell us.”

Gu Ci looked at the elders, who were angry and didn’t dare to scold Jiang Junlin. She felt both sad and amused and couldn’t help but sympathize with them. But she really couldn’t say anything. Gu Ci tightly sealed her lips.

“It couldn’t be Zhang Qiang, right?” Jiang Minghua was angry. “He’s with Junlin twenty-four seven, knows everything about him, and is always at his beck and call…”

“Absolutely impossible!” Gu Ci thought of Zhang Qiang’s physique compared to Ji Chi, “My brother probably likes someone… more refined.”

Jiang Minghua and Lin Chunli began to filter through the security guards to see if there were any handsome young men. It all seemed a bit suspicious, and Gu Ci was really overwhelmed. “Grandpa, grandma, even if he’s been in love, he broke up five years ago..”(f)reenovelkiss
