Can't Take My Eyes Off You

25

Mr. and Mrs. Jiang glared directly at Jiang Yao. They knew their daughter like the back of their hands.

Jiang Yao hardly came home after the wedding because she resented her parents for arranging the

marriage. They heard some rumors about what had happened after Jiang Yao moved into the Lu

family. The distance and hostility between Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi made them realize that Jiang Yao

found the marriage and her husband repulsive.

As a result, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang were convinced that Jiang Yao had secretly applied to Nanjiang Medical

School!

"Jiang Yao, it's you, isn't it?" Mr. Jiang jumped up from his chair and roared. "Did you lie to us about

your application? Didn't you say that you were going to Jindo? Since when did it become Nanjiang?

Argh! Jiang Yao, why are you so immature and stubborn? How old do you think you are? You're

already nineteen, you are not a child anymore! You're married! Why did you apply to Nanjiang? It's so

far away from your husband's base. What were you thinking?"

The scene replayed in front of her exactly as how it happened in her previous life. Her parents rebuked

her in anger when they learned about her acceptance to Nanjiang Medical School.

Jiang Yao tried to remember her response at the time.

She had raised her voice at her parents, claiming that she had always wanted to go to Nanjiang

Medical School. The promise of applying for Jindo Medical School was just her smokescreen.

Then, her dad, who had always been a gentle and kind father to her, slapped her in the face and kicked

her out of the house.

However, now that she was born again and facing the same situation, Jiang Yao didn't know how to

react to this.

The excuses that she had used on the Lu family wouldn't work here. She couldn't say that she had

done it on purpose because Lu Xingzhi had offended her. If she said it here in her house, it would only

make her parents angrier. They would chide her for her waywardness and selfishness. Maybe it was

because her parents knew her better than her in-laws that they would not buy that excuse.

Jiang Yao could only hang her head downcast without saying a word as her father scolded her. It was

the truth anyway she was really ignorant, her father hadn't wronged her.

"Dad, I made the decision." Lu Xingzhi somewhat understood his father-in-law's temperament. Jiang

Yao's decision caught him off-guard, but he couldn't bear seeing her being scolded by her father.

"Dad, it is my decision to allow Jiang Yao to go to Nanjiang. She's still young and I'm afraid she'll be

homesick when she's away from home. The climate and eating habits of the north are very different

from the south. I'm afraid that nobody can take care of her and she can't take care of herself if she

goes to Jindo."

Lu Xingzhi fabricated the excuse like it was the truth. "Nanjiang Medical School is a key university and

it is comparable to Jindo Medical School. Another thing is that it's closer to home. It will be convenient

for Jiang Yao to come home whenever she wants to and she wouldn't have trouble adapting to new

living habits. She called me to ask for my opinion during the application phase and I asked her to apply

to Nanjiang." NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Lu Xingzhi was the only one who could make a lie sound plausible.

Surprisingly, Mr. Jiang bought it. He sighed in defeat. "You spoil her rotten. She's already nineteen, she

has no problem taking care of herself. You guys are already in a long-distance relationship, and if she

really goes to Nanjiang, that will be four years! What will you do? Wait another four years? If she goes

to Jindo, she can at least meet you at the base every weekend or holiday, and you guys can see each

other more often."
