CHAPTER 327

"What I am saying, Jing-er is that I want you and Kim Fan to get married. Not only would it strength our families but it would be the best business alliance and I can vouch for you that he is a very good young man. I have watched him grow all his life and know that he would make a nice husband. A very suitable one."

BANG! BANG!

The words seemed to explode like fireworks in Li Jing's mind as he spoke. Her brain stopped processing what he kept on saying and al that played on in her mind was the one thing she had not thought he would raise up.

'I want you and Kim Fan to get married.'

'I want you and Kim Fan to get married.'

'I want you and Kim Fan to get married.'

Those particular words kept on ringing in her mind endlessly that she felt like her heart and ear drums would explode any moment from then.

'No. No. No… No way!' Li Jing yelled in her mind, thus poulklking her back to reality.

She blinked, trying to see the face of the one who had made mention of those words and her eyes landed on grandfather but she could not see him clearly.

It was when she noticed that her eyes were filled with tears. She did not know exactly why she cried but when she blinked, the tears began to freely fall.

"Li Jing," her grandfather called out softly. "Jing-er. I mean you no harm. All I want is what is best for you and to help you secure a great future."

Li Jing still did not say anything. Her mind was running in shambles already. 

She could not believe that even she who had lived a stressful life would one day be subjected to the intricacies of the rich family life where they are mostly not given a chance to choose whom they want to spend the rest of their lives with.

'No. No. Please do not say it.' Li Jing begged her mind to stop replaying the words to her but it just wouldn't stop and even when it finally did, her grandfather came to stand by her side and continued from where he stopped.

"Jing-er. It is what is best for you and the company. All I am doing is for your future. At least with two of the most families in the city, getting married, it would further push your enemies back and you can leave a normal life. No one can dare oppose you as they would crumble before your feet. Think about it."

"Grandfather. I do not want to. I do not love Kim Fan," Li Jing said, finding her lost voice.

"In time you will. I know Duan Tian had broken your heart before and you think all guys are the same but they are not. You are brilliant and you should know that. Try and open your hearty to him and you would see he is a loveable person."

"I cannot love him."

"It is your duty as the heiress to the Lin Enterprise to do that which is good and beneficial for the company Li Jing. He is the moist suitable match for you."

Li Jing shook her head, disagreeing with his word.

"I am only saying this because it is what I want for you. Kindly do this and do not ruin yo9uyr future as well. I know he wouldn't deceive you like most guys his age does."

"How sure are you?"

"Because I know his family like the back of my hands."

"Did you expect that they would be able to file a lawsuit against me?"

'That is a different case," Lin Zian tried to cover up their wrong doings.

"How is that any different from anything? I am sorry grandfather but I do not love him."

"Is it because you love someone else? Is it because of Tang Zixin?"

Li Jing closed her eyes when he mentioned she loved someone else. Yes she did but just not the one she mentioned. 

"If you had even said you wanted me to get married to Tang Zixin I would have understood and not Kim Fan. Isn't Tang Family your business partners too?"

'Yes, but he comes from a city where you went through so much at and… anyways, Kim Fan is the best candidate. I have known him all his life."

"And so is Zixin. Grandfather, please do not make me do this."

"Li Jing, in time, I hope you would understand that all I do, I do for the love I have for you. You need a good and capable man in your life."

"Yes but let me marry who I want and choose."

"IThis was why I told you not to make the same mistakes that yoiur mother made. Please do not argue with me over this and accept it. You would not regret it."

Li wanted to keep on talking about the situation with him but realized that there was no need. He would not understand. He was still blinded with the fact that he was right and her mother was wrong.

Due to his fear of losing Li Jing, he still felt that if he could marry her off to someone he trusted, he could ensure a safe future for her and not an uncertain one.

Unknown to him, things were more than what they seemed and his granddaughter was already in love with someone else.

"Grandfather."

"Do not argue and think about it. I give you one week to think about it thoroughly and you would see I am not wrong. Then we can proceed with the marriage."

Li Jing closed her eyes again and took in a deep breath before reopening them and nodded at him. "Fine. I would think about it."

"That's my girl. Do not worry, you would thank me later for such a wonderful choice I made."

Li Jing managed to force a smile out to him before lowering her head.

She was not about to spend the rest of her life with someone she was not willing to be more than friends with.
