Chapter 2315 Meeting Her and Her Matchmaking Match
Back at the castle, Jing Qian felt that the atmosphere at home had become more oppressive and heavy.
After asking the butler and finding out that Old Master Jing was in the bedroom, she knocked and went in.
After getting permission, Jing Qian pushed the door open and went in.
It had been a while since she had seen the Old Master. Although she had applied for a visa the last time she came back, the Old Master had gone abroad.
“Grandpa.”
Old Master Jing leaned against the head of the bed, looking thinner and his face slightly pale.
Hearing Jing Qian’s voice, Old Master Jing opened his eyes and said with a dark expression, “You still know to come back?” Then, he started to cough again. Old Master Jing did not agree to Jing Qian entering the entertainment industry and asked her to get married early. When Jing Qian left home, the grandmother and grandson had a terrible fight.
However, Old Master Jing favored boys over girls. If she was disobedient, he would not restrict her freedom.
Seeing that the Old Master was coughing badly, Jing Qian hurried forward. “Grandpa, what’s wrong? What’s wrong?”
The Old Master took out a handkerchief and covered his mouth. He coughed for a while before stopping. When he took the handkerchief away, there was a bloodstain on it.
Jing Qian’s pupils constricted. “You coughed out blood?”
Old Master Jing waved his hand. “I won’t die.”
The butler brought the doctor in and examined the Old Master.
After the checkup, the doctor went out and said to the butler, “Old Master’s illness came strangely and we can’t find out the cause. If he continues to cough blood like this, I’m afraid he won’t last long.”
That night, Jing Qian found that apart from the Old Master being seriously ill, there seemed to be something wrong between Jing Shen and Lan Yue.
Jing Shen did not come back for dinner. She mentioned Big Brother at the dining table and was glared at by the Old Master.
After dinner, Lan Yue was called into the room by the Old Master. Jing Qian felt that something was wrong and called the nanny aside to ask.
The nanny did not know what had happened, but she could vaguely guess from the conversation between the butler and the Old Master that Jing Shen was going to force her out.
Jing Qian widened her eyes in disbelief.
After it was found out that Jing Shen was not from the Jing family, his grandfather stripped him of his inheritance. However, he did not show any unhappiness and continued to work for the Seven Stars Sect.
“Miss, the house hasn’t been peaceful recently. You should avoid it for a while!”
Although Jing Shen had been stripped of his inheritance, his appeal in Seven Stars Sect was still very strong. If he really went against Lan Yue, it was hard to say who would win.
Especially now that the Old Master had suddenly fallen ill. If the Old Master was gone, Seven Stars Sect might fall into the hands of Jing Shen. Jing Qian could not help but feel nervous. She felt that an invisible war had started.
When Old Master Jing found out that Jing Shen was secretly contacting the elders of Seven Stars Sect who had worked with him to conquer the country, he was furious and threw the ashtray by the bed to the floor. “I’m not dead yet and he’s in a hurry to ascend the throne?”
She coughed uncontrollably when she was agitated. The butler could not persuade him and wanted to say something, but seeing the Old Master’s expression, he hesitated.
“If there’s any more bad news, say it all out,” the Old Master shouted angrily.
The butler lowered his head and said, “I just received a notice that Eldest Young Master wants to force Second Young Master to hand over his shares…”
“Bastard!” The Old Master was so angry that his chest was heaving and the vein on his forehead was throbbing. He pointed at the butler with trembling fingers. “Call my lawyer over and inform the elders to hold an emergency meeting in the afternoon.”
In the afternoon.
The Old Master arrived at the headquarters of Seven Stars Sect with the help of the butler.
The meeting room was full of people, including Jing Shen and Lan Yue.
After the Old Master went in, he did not look at Jing Shen. He waved at Lan Yue and asked him to stand beside him.
The Old Master announced on the spot that he wanted to give all his power to Lan Yue. In the future, Lan Yue would be in charge of the Seven Stars Sect.
After the Old Master announced it, he asked the lawyer to pass the shares transfer agreement to Lan Yue. Lan Yue took it and under the Old Master’s orders, he sat in the Sect Master’s seat. Lan Yue said to the butler, “Grandpa is not in good health. I’ll be hosting the next meeting. Help him back to rest first.” The Old Master sat aside and waved his hand. “I’ll guard you. Let’s see who dares to disobey you.”
Lan Yue nodded at the Old Master, his dark eyes looking up and landing on Jing Shen. “Since Grandpa has asked me to take charge of the Seven Stars Sect, I announce that Jing Shen will replace the Sect Master.”
The moment Lan Yue finished speaking, there was an uproar in the meeting room.
Old Master Jing had the biggest reaction. He slammed the conference table hard. “Did Jing Shen threaten you? I said you don’t have to be afraid. Grandpa will stand up for you.”
Lan Yue stood up from the leather chair, his cold face exuding coldness. “He didn’t threaten me. This is my decision. Grandpa, your health isn’t good now. You should go back and recuperate.”
After all, he was an old fox. Old Master Jing looked at Lan Yue and Jing Shen’s expressions and quickly understood that this was a trap.
And the person involved was his most trusted grandson.
Old Master Jing pointed at Lan Yue angrily. “Y-You, little beast…”
Before she could finish, she spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
….
In the evening, Old Master Jing slowly woke up.
He lay in his room, feeling much better than before.
A tall black figure stood by the bed.
Old Master Jing looked up and met Lan Yue’s deep black eyes. Seeing Lan Yue, Old Master Jing immediately looked angry. “What’s the purpose of doing that? Did you cause my sudden illness?”
He was the old Sect Master of the Seven Stars Sect. How could he not understand that his illness was deliberately caused by someone?
It was difficult for ordinary people to approach him. Only the closest and most trusted people could poison the food he ate.
Lan Yue looked at Old Master Jing indifferently. “You should know what I’ve done. The poison in your body has been removed, but you’re old and you still have to take good care of your body.”
“Leave the matters of Seven Stars Sect to Big Brother. You can rest assured and enjoy your life.”
Old Master Jing wanted to say something, but Lan Yue had already turned and left.
“Little bastard, come back. Are you here for that woman…”
The door was slammed shut with a bang.
Old Master Jing was furious. His smart life had been ruined. He had found an ingrate!
Jing Qian did not know what happened at the meeting, but she was relieved to learn that the Old Master’s condition had improved and there was no conflict between Jing Shen and Lan Yue. Lan Yue had even given one of the Seven Stars Sect’s Sect Masters to Jing Shen.
She still wanted her family to be harmonious.
At night, the Old Master did not go to the dining room for dinner. Jing Shen had to deal with the matters of Seven Stars Sect and had no time to come back. There were only Jing Qian and Lan Yue in the dining room.
Jing Qian heard her phone ring and took it out to take a look.
It was a voice message from her assistant.
“Sister Kuang, I went out for a meal with a friend yesterday and met Sister Wuwu and her blind date.”
