Chapter 210: Are You Disappointed that He Is Alive?
Mu Qing told her about a few things that she needed to pay attention to before he left from there. He had been in the operating room for an entire night. Removing the bullet that had almost hit Jing Yichen’s heart, was a difficult operation. He was feeling exhausted and drained out. He needed to recuperate.
Before he left, he looked at Shangguan Ning who was in a mess but was still busy wiping Jing Yichen’s hands and face. All of a sudden, the scene where Jing Yichen had taken care of her during her illness, emerged in his head.
He had witnessed the love between them at that time. He realised their deep love for each other which was so intense that they forgot about themselves and only concentrated on the partner.
Mu Qing had a very strong feeling that if either of them were to ever lose their life, the other would not be able to stay alive for long.
It was such a touching relationship.
He wasn’t sure if he would find this kind of love and life partner.
A beautiful silhouette flashed in his head but vanished immediately. It was impossible for him and her.
...
After freshening up, Jing Zhongxiu started to eat breakfast. At that moment, the Butler came running to him with a happy face. He had been in Family Jing for decades, and it was rare for him to behave so indiscreetly.
“Lord, the news just came from the hospital. The bullet is out, Elder Master is out of the danger. He will wake up by tomorrow!”
Jing Zhongxiu’s hand that was holding the spoon, trembled. Then he let out a sigh of relief and said calmly, “Okay, thanks for letting me know. Tell Tiger and Lee Duo to still stay vigilant. They need to make sure that my son and daughter in-law are safe. They don’t need to try and catch the killer. The lady was the target, so she is not allowed to go anywhere before the killer is caught. Tell her that I said that she must have the bullet-proof coat on her at all times.”
He had asked Angel last night to help him identify the killer. Since they had very little information, all Angel could tell him was that the killer had been very professional and possessed extremely high comprehensive quality. Therefore, if the killer failed once, he was going to attack till the time that the target was dead and mission was over.
Therefore, Shangguan Ning was still in a very dangerous situation. They needed to protect her carefully. His son had been injured. He couldn’t let his daughter-in-law get injured as well, no matter what!
The Butler bowed and left the room. He called up Tiger to pass on the Lord’s message.
Jing Yiran’s heart suddenly felt empty at the sight of his father’s relieved expression, as he sat opposite Jing Zhongxiu at breakfast time.
Who on earth was so bold as to hire a top-notch killer to kill the daughter-in-law of Family Jing?
Jing Yiran didn’t feel much when he had heard about Jing Yichen getting shot and being critical. When he heard about him being out of danger, an indescribable disappointment arose inside his heart!
He and Jing Yichen had been restrained by Jing Zhongxiu, so that they could compete and fight but could not kill each other! He was not able to kill Jing Yichen with his own power, but this rare opportunity, which had arisen, just slipped away.
Jing Yichen was the heir of the Family whom everyone admired and feared.
Jing Yichen was also the son whom Jing Zhongxiu loved and had huge expectations of.
Even Jing Yiran knew that he didn’t resemble his father, be it in his appearance or personality. It had always been Jing Yichen who was similar to Jing Zhongxiu, almost like a carbon copy.
Jing Yichen was like a shadow which he couldn’t get rid of, throughout his entire life. Jing Yiran was never going to exceed him wherever he stood.
“Are you disappointed that he is alive?”
The cold and distant voice reached Jing Yiran’s ears, the words matching his thoughts. His finger trembled in fear and the chopsticks dropped on the floor.
He looked up into Jing Zhongxiu’s cold and serious eyes.
Jing Yiran’s heart skipped a beat. He tried to calm himself down and said, “No.”
“You won’t get anything if he dies. Everything of Family Jing belongs to him. It is his destiny. I will give you whatever belongs to you, but don’t ever get greedy about whatever that doesn’t belong to you. You are not hard working and consistent, and you don’t fight fairly. Therefore, the inheritance of Family Jing is definitely not going to be yours.”
Jing Zhongxiu looked calm as if he were just talking about the weather. There was no change in his facial expressions.
But these words were like thunderstorms that attacked Jing Yiran. They seemed to crush his heart and lung!
Jing Zhongxou had said something similar before, but had never said it as clearly as he did now!
He was telling Jing Yiran that he must not take any impulsive step to hurt Jing Yichen during this time.
Jing Yiran looked down trying to hide the hatred and viciousness in his eyes. He suppressed the bitterness in his heart and tried to speak in a calm manner, “Okay, I understand, father.”
Jing Zhongxiu looked at him without saying anything else. Then he stood up and walked away.
Jing Yiran took two bites of his breakfast but then pushed away the plate. He had lost his appetite.
He stood up and walked out of the villa towards the relatively smaller villa where he and Zhang Rong lived. The main villa was for Jing Zhongxiu.
In the small villa, Zhang Rong was also eating breakfast. She put down the spoon at the sight of her son and pulled him into the study.
“Ran, is it true that your brother is dying? Tell me the truth, did you...” She swallowed down the last remaining words. Anyone could understand what she meant to ask.
Jing Yiran couldn’t believe that she would ask him such a question.
Even his father, Jing Zhongxiu and Jing Yichen’s men hadn’t suspected that he did it. But his own mother suspected that he was the killer.
Jing Yiran was feeling pathetic in this moment.
Zhang Rong’s exquisite but evil face was full of joy and her eyes twinkled. He suddenly understood why Jing Zhongxiu didn’t allow Zhang Rong to share the food table with him.
Even if Zhang Rong didn’t cause Zhao Qing to die, his father would not want to see such a face appearing in front of him so as to ruin his mood and appetite.
Seeing her own son staring at her with a mocking look, Zhang Rong became slightly displeased. “What is wrong with you? I am asking you something, why are you staring at me like that?”
Jing Yiran flung away Zhang Rong’s hands from his own as he said coldly, “Are you sure that you are my biological mother? Does any mother suspect that her own son is the killer? Which mother never asks her son if has eaten breakfast or slept well but wants to know if he has killed someone?”
