Chapter 178 An Insult to Her Intelligence
Dongfang Qingmo continued, "Second Uncle has already sent people to investigate. I believe we'll know the details soon. We just need to wait patiently."
Yu Jing was still full of worries. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say it.
Dongfang Qingmo seemed to sense her mother's unfinished words. She licked her lips, which were slightly dry from nervousness, and said firmly, "Yes, mother, I must go there in person for this matter! Only then can I feel at ease."
At this moment, footsteps were heard and Dongfang Qiong walked in.
As soon as he entered the house, he heard Dongfang Qingmo's words. His expression instantly became serious, and he shouted loudly: "No! Mo'er, you are weak and have no self-defense skills. How can you act so recklessly? Stay home and don't go anywhere!"
Yu Jing was originally hesitant, but after hearing her husband's words, she seemed to have found support and quickly agreed, "Mo'er, your father is right! It's so dangerous out there, how can a girl like you go out? Be obedient and stay home."
Faced with his parents' resolute opposition, Dongfang Qingmo had no intention of backing down.
She clenched her teeth tightly, her eyes slightly red, and looked at her father with a hint of pleading, shouting: "Daddy..."
"Mo'er, apart from Qingshui, you are the only precious daughter your parents have. I can't let you take this kind of risk no matter what." Dongfang Qiong frowned and said seriously. His tone was extremely firm and there was no room for negotiation.
You know, he is a shrewd businessman who has been in the business world for many years and is accustomed to all kinds of intrigues and conflicts of interest.
For him, family is the most important thing. He does not have the great sentiment and selfless love to give up his own small family for the sake of everyone.
After all, business is all about weighing the pros and cons, and preserving one's own foundation is the key.
Yu Jing, watching the father and daughter at a stalemate, quickly nodded in agreement, "Yes, Mo'er, your father is right! Our family's safety is more important than anything else."
However, Dongfang Qingmo was filled with helplessness and couldn't help but mutter: "Alas, I'm not going to die in vain!"
How could she be so stupid?
It's simply an insult to her intelligence!
Dongfang Qiong snorted coldly and asked, "Oh? Isn't it?"
Obviously, he didn't believe what his daughter said.
At this time, Dongfang Qingmo stamped his feet anxiously and shouted, "Alright, alright, since I can't explain it to you clearly, then just watch it!"
As she spoke, she flashed and appeared in another corner of the room like a ghost.
Then, she waved her hands, and a powerful airflow gushed out from her palms, shaking the tables and chairs next to her slightly.
"What do you think? You will finally believe me now!" Dongfang Qingmo looked at her parents proudly, thinking to herself that showing them all her skills should be enough to prove that she is capable of dealing with danger, and maybe they will agree to let her go.
Dongfang Qiong and Yu Jing's eyes met, and both of them had expressions of shock, as if they had seen something unbelievable.
