Chapter 235: A Bone Between Them
“Bastard, kneel down and apologize to your grandma!”
Jing Zhongxiu got extremely furious. The blue veins popped on his forehead and he didn’t show any mercy when he slapped Jing Yiran. He had slapped Jing Yichen many times because of different reasons, but Jing Yiran was the spoiled one. He had never slapped him even once.
But he was truly furious at the moment and wanted to slap Jing Yiran again.
Jing Yiran was brought up by Mo Lan and she had put in so much effort into his upbringing. But he still dared to hurt her!
She was Jing Zhongxiu’s mother, and even though their relationship had deteriorated after Zhao Qing’s death, yet she was the mother who gave birth to him and brought him up. She made a mistake regarding the situation with Zhang Rong, but she still cared deeply about him. She had been taking care of Family Jing for her entire life and she was the person to be respected most of all!
He wouldn’t allow anyone to hurt her.
She had lived till the age of seventy-nine and had never been injured. Even the old lord had never hurt a single strand of her hair.
Jing Yiran felt pain all over his body as he was kicked on the ground and landed on the broken dishes and bowls. He felt as if his bones were broken and he failed to get up.
Fearing that her son would get furious again, Mo Lan stood up with the Butler’s help and stopped him. “Don’t hit him, Zhongxiu! He is just sad and pushed me off by accident. He didn’t mean to do it!”
Jing Zhongxiu frowned when he saw his silver-haired mother pleading to him with her bloodied knees.
He picked his mother up from the waist, walked to the sofa and put her down. Then he said to the doctor who had been called, in a cold tone, “Dress her wound, and check her for any other injury, thoroughly. Make sure that everything is fine with her.”
Jing Yiran got up from the floor at this moment. Blood was trickling out of his lip and he had blood stains across the body. He looked like a mess.
He staggered to Mo Lan and kneeled down and said in a hoarse voice, “I am so sorry Grandma! I am a bad grandson to have hurt you. Please, hit me as hard as you can.!”
With those words, tears came out of his eyes.
Jing Yiran knew that Mo Lan was the person who loved him most of all in the entire Family Jing, even the deceased Zhang Ronghadn’t taken care of him as much as she did. He felt really guilty to have hurt her, but was buried under in such grief and hatred that he didn’t understand what he had done until it was too late.
Seeing her grandson covered with wounds, Mo Lan felt pain in her heart. She took him into her arms and said tearfully, “My dear boy, I am completely fine. I know you are sad and you didn’t mean to hurt me. Doctor, check Ran, first! He is bleeding so much.”
Jing Zhongxiu finally relaxed seeing Jing Yiran apologizing to his mother sincerely. He turned around to walk back to his room after confirming with the doctor that the old lady was fine.
Three days later, Jing Yichen found out the truth about Zhang Rong’s accident.
Zhang Rong was a woman who barely went out. After she had moved to Family Jing, she cut connection with nearly all her old friends. For one thing, most of her friends were too poor to follow her around and she just didn’t like those people. For another, her friends didn’t like her either. Although she was married into a wealthy family but they didn’t know whom she had married. They just knew that she wasn’t respected in that family.
Those who were in contact with Zhang Rong were women with very high positions. These women were the lovers of some powerful men, some had children, some didn’t. But all of them lived a very wealthy but unsatisfied life – like her, they wanted to get to a higher position using their appearance or their children. Zhang Rong was a leader amongst them.
On the night of the accident, Zhang Rong drove out because she received a distress call from one of them.
Although the woman who made the call killed herself after the accident, yet Jing Yichen understood that she had made the call under duress.
The car that crashed into Zhang Rong’s had been used only for the purpose of ambushing hers.
The entire plan was perfect and the planner even left some clues that pointed at Jing Yichen. So as far as they could see, Jing Yiran believed these clues and tried to reduce Jing Yichen’s power every single day.
Apparently, the planner’s purpose was to take advantage of the dispute between Jing Yiran and Jing Yichen so that they could turn against each other and kill themselves and Family Jing could be destroyed internally.
One person alone couldn’t have done this. Jing Yichen found out that four families had been involved in the accident except for Family Yang, whom he had been suspecting.
Everyone at Family Yang had hidden themselves somewhere, or changed their names and identities. They were waiting for the right moment to take action.
Jing Yichen was not scared. That is what Family Jing had always faced. There were many powers that looked at Family Jing and the addition of Family Yang would not matter that much. They had not been a match for Family Jing when they were at their peak. Hence, they didn’t have a chance now when they were already half demolished.
The four families that were involved with Zhang Rong’s accident had had problems with Family Jing in the past. They had hated Family Jing for a very long time. But Jing Yichen destroyed them all at one go. Some of them were either in prison, or killed themselves or ran away. Their families were also destroyed within no time!
Another violent turbulence shook A City, creating an atmosphere of suspicion.
How Jing Yichen dealt with his enemies was also getting more and more spread in A City. He was being considered as “The Killer God”!
Yet this mysterious and cold “Killer God” was washing his lovely wife’s feet with a gentle expression at the moment.
Shangguan Ning was on her period and didn’t want to take a shower. So Jing Yichen got a tub of hot water and added an herb to it as prescribed by Mu Qing, to warm her feet.
“Does your belly still hurt?”
Shangguan Ning shook her head as she leaned back into the sofa. “No, it doesn’t. Doctor Mu’s medicine works so well. Please thank him for me.”
She often got tormented by her periods in the past. She would need to take pain-killer to stop the pain. But she had been using the herbs prescribed by Mu Qing for the past three months consecutively and now she didn’t feel the pain any more. She really wanted to name Mu Qing as the “magical doctor”.
Jing Yichen massaged the center of her sole and said gently, “No need, that’s what he should do.”
He had invested billions of yuan in Family Mu’s Hospital and it was Mu Qing’s duty to prescribe medicine for his wife.
“Oh, yes. Anan is coming back tomorrow. Let’s go and pick her up. Should we also take Doctor Mu along?”
