Chapter 423 – Food Bribe
Jia said nothing.
"Isn't it a wonderful day, Dr. Ming?" Mingshen chuckled. "How are you OUTSIDE when you are supposed to be working?"
Jia narrowed her eyes.
Yang Bingqing hit her son's arm and shot daggers at him. Her face was livid with anger.
Mingshen gave her a carefree glance. "You are getting old, Mom. You shouldn't be angry at this age and raise your blood pressure. Your beautiful face will get ugly and wrinkly. How will you attend the useless socialites' parties then? Don't come to me asking for anti-aging creams later on."
Jia widened her eyes. She finally turned to face him.
Does he talk to her like that?
Yang Bingqing trembled and gritted her teeth. "Who is one raising my blood pressure!?"
Even the guards jolted in fear.
Damn, Madam Yang is furious! This will be the start of another war between the mother and son!
Mingshen yawned. "Definitely not me."
"Yes, it's you! Mingshen!" She exclaimed. "Do you know why I am angry at you!?"
"Aren't you always? I stopped decoding your reasons ages ago."
She choked.
Yang Bingqing took a deep breath and tried to calm down. "Look at this beautiful woman here."
Mingshen squinted his eyes and looked at Jia. "What about her?"
"Such a wonderful woman works in your lab, and you didn't even bother to tell me!? How dare you! Here I am pulling my hair out trying to find a woman who could possibly marry you, and you didn't tell me about her?"
Mingshen tilted his head. Jia had an urge to gauge his eyes out.
Why the hell are you looking at me like that?
"She is beautiful, smart, and she doesn't like you at all! In fact, she hates you. That's why she is perfect for you!"
Jia was speechless again.
What kind of logic is that?
Then a wide smile stretched on his lips. "You think she is perfect for me?"
"She is the only one perfect for you! Do you think any other woman will tolerate you? You are a monster!" She burst into tears. "God finally has some mercy on me. I thought I would never see your wedding. But now I finally see hope…" she sniffled.
Mam, I just rejected him from the bottom of my heart. What part of my answer did you not understand?
Yang Bingqing kept hitting him again and again. "You are impossible! If I weren't here today, I would have never come to know about her. Do you really want to kill your mother!?"
Mingshen scratched his chin. "You are going to live a long life, Mom. Nothing can faze you."
"Shut up! I would have died and gotten buried not knowing about her! You really have the nerve to act all innocent!"
Mingshen widened his eyes. "What are you talking about, Mom? Why will you be buried after your death? Of course, I will make you my research subject."
Yang Bingqing put her hand on her chest and felt dizzy. "Y-you…you won't even let me die in peace?"
"Your body would be of much use here rather than rotting in the soil. It will be a good chance to study the perfect genes I am born with," Mingshen sneered.
She almost raised her hand to slap him. "Study your father's genes, you fool! It's his craziness that you got! He was just like you! A crazy doctor. That is until I met him and transformed him into a human! You should be ashamed of yourself!" She cried.
"You are my mother. Aren't mothers supposed to have a big heart and help achieve their child's endeavors?"
"Y-you will sacrifice me for your research!?" She gasped in shock.
"I don't need to sacrifice you. You will be already dead to feel anything," he shrugged.
Yang Bingqing sobbed harder. She looked at Jia, aggrieved. "Did you see him? He is awful!"
Jia couldn't help but nod.
He is beyond help.
"That's why I want you to marry him. I have faith that you can delete the monstrosity from him!"
"…"
We are back to that topic again?
"Don't say no, dear. How about I bribe you with food?" Yang Bingqing pulled out a lunch box from the bag she was holding. "I made lunch for him, but now that I know his true colors, he doesn't deserve my delicious lunch!"
Mingshen rolled his eyes. "Ah, I feel so heartbroken, Mom."
She glared at him.
Jia went silent and stared at the lunchbox. She remembered the food she ate while she was here. The only thing…the tiny thing that somewhere in her heart made Jia actually want to stay here.
Yang Bingqing opened the lunch box and took out one dumpling. "Say ah. You will like it."
In a daze, she did, and the dumpling entered her mouth. It was warm and tasty, just like her mother's food.
Yang Bingqing eagerly asked, "How is it?"
She trembled and faintly smiled. "Delicious…"
She beamed. "Good, good. At least somebody appreciates me," she cast a complaining glare at her son. Mingshen shrugged.
"Go ahead. Eat up all. And then agree to become Mingshen's wife."
"…"
The warmth that had just seeped into her heart disappeared.
Mingshen chuckled. "Although you are really annoying, Mom, but I cannot help but agree with you at this point."
Yang Bingqing sharply gasped.
"Oh-oh my God…Did you actually… accept to marry? Am I hearing things?"
Jia's expression turned ugly, and she wished to strangle him at that moment.
"Well~ what can I say? Spicy is so interesting that I can observe her for eternity and not get bored at all~"
Jia wanted to puke blood.
You…
But then an idea struck her. Now that Mingshen was here, it was impossible for her to escape.
But Yang Bingqing was here too. She was on her side. Clearly, she wasn't so thrilled by her son.
So if she told her the truth that she was actually a prisoner here, won't she revolt against Mingshen and order him to set her free?
She believed that Mingshen wouldn't be able to oppose her. Yang Bingqing seemed just and someone who could understand her troubles.
Just as Jia cooked up that plan, Mingshen could practically see the cogs of her brain churning. He knew what she was thinking. His mother was the perfect opportunity for her to escape.
He narrowed his eyes.
Good plan as always, Spicy~
Unfortunately, it's not gonna work, he chuckled.
