Jing Ning sneered, “Who are you trying to scare? If you know what’s good for you, get lost and cancel your contract with Smith. The Jing Family will take over for you. Nanxing, don’t force me to resort to other methods!”
I looked at him and mocked, “Young Master Ning, that is such arrogance. When the cat is not around, the mouse has come out to play? Since Jing Tian and Old Master Jing aren’t around, it’s your time to call the shots?” I looked at him with disdain. “But, don’t count your chicken before they hatch. Jing Ning, karma is always watching. Aren’t you afraid of being punished? For the sake of power, you have harmed your own family. How cruel! The Jing Family will fall to have a successor like you. Aren’t you afraid that Jing Tian and Old Master Jing’s ghosts will come after you at night?”
Jing Ning snorted disdainfully. “Cut the crap, Nanxing. Don’t blame me for being cruel when you force my hands. I have a hundred ways to make sure you can’t work together with Smith! This is the Jing Family’s business deal!”
“And an important bargaining chip for you to take over the Jing Family! Jing Tian is missing, and the old master has passed away unexpectedly. However, instead of looking for or mourning them, you are here trying to broker a deal to seal your position in the Jing Family. Young Master Ning, once you fulfill this contract, no one in the Jing Family can compete with you anymore, am I right?” I interrupted Jing Ning by exposing him.
Jing Ning didn’t get angry. Instead, he laughed. “Nanxing, you’re too smart. That’s why you’re so annoying! You’re right, but so what? I want to become the head of the Jing family, and no one can stop me! Do you think you can stop me? I’ll crush me if you continue to cause trouble!” Jing Ning had the imposing manner of Jing Tian and Old Master Jing. It was such a pity that he wasted such good genes.
I stood up. I couldn’t be bothered with him anymore. “Jing Ning, I promise that you’d never be the head of the Jing Family as long as Jing Tian is still missing! I’ll create havoc for you! We’ll just wait and see. As long as I’m around, nothing will go right for you. We’ll settle the score once and for all!” I turned to leave, but Ye Qian stopped me, “Nanxing…”
I flung her back and turned to smile at her. “What’s wrong? Do you have something else to say? You should feel sorry because your plan wasn’t thorough enough. You should have captured me when you captured Jing Tian. You won’t succeed as long as I’m around. I’ll do anything for Jing Tian. Ye Qian, you’re not the only one who has no other choice. If you force me into a corner, I’ll make sure we all die together!”
From then on, I had an official falling out with this woman. I admired her, but I knew she was my enemy.
I walked downstairs and got into Gao Da’s car. Only then did I realize I was holding a long breath. This was not an easy battle.
If it weren’t for the support of Old Master Jing, I didn’t think I would survive. After all, this was my first time negotiating a business deal with someone. I had accomplished what Old Master Jing had instructed me to do like a marionette. I had to be impressed by the old man because he had predicted everything, including Smith’s reaction.
Gao Da started the car. “The news of Old Master Jing’s death has reached China. Old Master Jing is quite annoyed that the Jing Family is not thrown into chaos. He said he’d go back to haunt them.”
I chuckled. “It sounds like he is handling his death just fine.”
Gao Da smiled. “I only realized how similar the old master is to Master Qi.”
Jing Tian was Old Master Jing’s son. It was reasonable for the old master to pamper Jing Tian. Jing Tian resembled him the closest.
Old Master Jing was ‘dead’, but his other children and grandchildren seemed to have been prepared for it. A normal person would be devastated by their family’s heartlessness. However, Old Master Jing could still make fun of himself. He was a mentally strong person..
