Chapter 505 - I Just Can't Let My Daughter Be Bullied

"Qin Yu?" Dong Biming was shocked and stupefied. Her eyes widened as if she couldn't accept this fact. She stammered, "Impossible! I've seen this child grow up with my own eyes, and aren't you two good sisters? She ... How could she snatched your boyfriend from you?"

Xia Jingfei's face suddenly became depressed and her entire body was shrouded in great sadness. "Mom, Liang Jiahao has never been my boyfriend! I was the one who lied to you. He never liked me, never!"

Dong Biming couldn't accept this fact.

In her heart, her daughter was the most obedient, kindest, and prettiest girl in the world.

Although Qin Yu was beautiful, it was only because she was a celebrity of the Han Group. The halo of a famous celebrity gave her a different kind of brilliance.

How could Xia Jingfei be worse than Qin Yu?

This was her daughter!

Dong Biming walked up a few steps and roughly grabbed Xia Jingfei's hand. "Fei'er, tell mom the truth, do you like Liang Jiahao?"

Xia Jingfei closed her eyes in sorrow. The grip on her wrist really hurt her. "Yes, I really like him, but so what? He doesn't like me!"

"Who said that!" Dong Biming suddenly became agitated and her face contorted, just like Cinderella's stepmother. A sinister light flashed in her eyes. "Fei'er, when facing a man you like, when facing your life's happiness, you cannot be kind-hearted."

At this moment, Xia Jingfei was overcome with a wave of faintness. She suddenly felt very tired, so tired to the point where she didn't want to think about anything or do anything at all. All she wanted was to be alone in her room.

Xia Jingfei forcefully tore her hand away from Dong Biming's grasp. She shook her head and said in a weak voice, "Mom, I fought for it. I've already done what I needed to do, but love isn't something we can force. I didn't win nor did I lose. I beg you, please leave me alone."

"No way!" Dong Biming wanted to grab Xia Jingfei's hand again, but Xia Jingfei kept dodging. She had no choice but to stand at the door and sincerely advise her daughter.

"Fei'er, you might only meet a man like Liang Jiahao once in your entire life! His appearance is good, he has a good job, and he's from a good family. Only a man like him is worthy of you! If you don't fight back and snatch him away from Qin Yu, you will regret it for the rest of your life."

Xia Jingfei laughed. She looked at Dong Biming and laughed weakly. "Whether I regret it or not, this is my life. Only I know that. Mom, if you're still as conceited as before and went against everything to seek justice for me, you only end up making me miserable."

Sometimes, Xia Jingfei even felt that she wasn't a person, but a pet kept by Dong Biming. Since she was young, she didn't have any freedom, nor did she have the right to decide her own life.

This included her dream of becoming a fashion designer and painter. She had always chased after this dream. However, when she was accepted to a famous designer institute abroad, Dong Biming unexpectedly didn't let her go.

She was too far from home, and Dong Biming feared that she would be bullied.

In truth, Dong Biming had no control over Xia Jingfei's life once she left. Therefore, she locked her in the golden silk cage.

Parents' love was great, but it was the need to control and the possessiveness that destroyed the child's life.

It was said that the sky was free for everyone to fly. However, Xia Jingfei's calmest sky had already been destroyed and replaced by a golden silk cage made by Dong Biming. She could only look out at the sky from inside the cage, yearning but unable to fly out no matter how hard she tried.

Xia Jingfei looked at Dong Biming as tears slowly ran down her cheeks. This time, she was really hurt. She was really in pain. She was really sad. She was also disappointed.

When Dong Biming heard her words and saw the tears that had fallen from her eyes, she was actually at a loss. "Fei'er, don't, don't cry. Don't worry, if you don't want to do it, mom can help you. Mom will never let you be bullied! No matter if it is Liang Jiahao or Qin Yu, neither of them can do that to you."

Xia Jingfei slowly placed her hand on the door. She looked at Dong Biming and smiled as tears streamed down her face. "Enough, mom. That's enough. I don't need you to do anything for me. Please leave me alone and let me decide my life."

After saying that, Xia Jingfei slammed the door shut. This time, no matter how Dong Biming knocked and yelled, she didn't open the door.

Dong Biming screamed until her throat was hoarse and her heart ached. In the end, she left in disappointment.

"Old Xia, please go to Fei'er. She listens to you the most. Go and persuade her. Persuade her to stop crying and shutting herself in that bedroom."

When Dong Biming returned to the bedroom, she grabbed her husband's hand and said this.

Xia Yong had already taken a shower and was about to sleep, but he was forcefully pulled up by Dong Biming. He shook his head and sighed. "Biming, Fei'er is already old enough to decide everything. She's not a child anymore. Can you give her some privacy?"

"How can I give her some privacy?" Dong Biming was so angry that her eyes turned red. "From birth until now, I've watched her grow up with my own eyes. She was so innocent that she didn't understand anything and didn't even know how to retaliate when someone bullied her. If I gave her privacy, wouldn't her bones be eaten by others?"

As a father, Xia Yong could understand Dong Biming's desire to protect their daughter, but she couldn't control their daughter's life in this way. It was as if she treated Xia Jingfei like her pet.

"Biming, you're also an experienced person, why don't you understand? After being born, one had to experience and endure seven tribulations. Only then would one be able to live a complete life. If you continue to protect Fei'er like this, then let me ask you, what would you do once she gets married in the future? Will you continue to watch over her and make sure she would not be bullied by her mother-in-law or sister-in-law? Are you going to sleep between her and her husband and watch over them every day?"

Dong Biming blushed. She knew what Xia Yong said was reasonable, but she just couldn't accept it. She didn't even dare to think about the scene where Xia Jingfei was bullied.

She craned her neck and said, "So what? I just can't let my daughter be bullied!"

Xia Yong heaved a long sigh. "You are not protecting her, but harming her! It's because she's been protected by you and hasn't suffered anything, that's why she's so fragile. She's not being bullied, she's just heartbroken!"
