Mo Lan hurried to Jing Yiran’s side and held him in concern. She turned around and snapped at Jing Yichen, “Chen, what is wrong with you? Why are you hitting your brother again? Do you really want to kill him?”
Jing Yichen stood rooted on the spot like an exquisite sculpture. He wore a very cold expression on his face and said, “He asked for it. But I have promised dad not to kill him. So he won’t die.”
Mo Lan shouted in tears, “You keep saying that he asks for it. You can hate me if you want to, because it was I who wanted to keep Ran. But why do you bully him in this way? Come and vent your anger on me if you want to, I have just a few years left and I can take your anger. No more hitting Ran!”
Jing Yichen was just about to leave when he heard her words and stopped.
His fingers were tightly clenched together and he no longer looked calm. Instead, he looked vicious and twisted. “Hate you? Of course I hate you!”
He gazed at Mo Lan as if she were not his grandma but his enemy.
“Even if Jing Yiran is innocent, he will still be under my feet.” Jing Yichen sounded chilly. His words were like a knife that stabbed right into Mo Lan’s heart. “He is innocent? Well, so was my mother. Why did she die at the age of 28 then?”
“Pay me back with one life!” Jing Yichen pointed at Mo Lan as he bellowed furiously, “Pay! Me! Back!”
Jing Yichen’s loud voice echoed across the living room –”Pay me back, pay me back”.
Seeing Mo Lan’s whitened face, he sneered coldly, “Can’t afford it, can you? My mother died an innocent death. She did nothing wrong. But she had to accept the truth that another woman had borne her beloved man’s son!”
“I lost my mother at the age of 3. I don’t even know what it feels like to call someone “mom”. What a blessing for me, huh?”
Mo Lan had never seen Jing Yichen in this way.
He had always been distant and cold, but he was never this ruthless and cruel, at least not towards her.
He was distant, but he had never disrespected her as a senior.
She said in panic, “Zhang Rong is already dead . She already paid. Ran is innocent!”
Jing Yichen burst into laughter, but he didn’t sound amused. His laugh brought chills into Mo Lan’s heart.
Jing Yichen said, “Yes, she is dead, but she died too easily and too late. I had been merciful enough to allow such a vicious woman to live for so many years. Who is that man that freed her in advance? I will definitely find him and make him suffer. How dare he kill the person who was meant to be killed by me.”
“Why did my mother have to tolerate everything when the mistake had been made by you? Why must you all be alive when she is alone in the graveyard with the ghosts? Did she deserve that? No, she was just too kind to not kill the woman who came to the door, pregnant.”
Jing Yichen stared at Mo Lan with bloodshot eyes. He didn’t treat her as his senior at the moment and sneered. “You were just selfish to want more offsprings for Family Jing. Then why didn’t you turn to my father? Why didn’t you make grandpa marry some more women for more sons?”
He sounded increasingly rebellious, but Mo Lan didn’t have any strength to give any counter arguments.
Holding Jing Yiran, she was shivering badly. She looked white as a sheet.
Jing Yichen ignored her expression and sounded fierce like a sharp knife. “How does it feel when I vent the anger upon you? Are you satisfied? Do you think that just because I am your grandson, I don’t dare say anything to you? Sorry, I always regard family as nothing, and I am not going to behave as a young man in the family, because no one has taught me how to respect seniors after I turned 3!”
“Do you know why I hit your beloved grandson? Because he wants to get what belongs to me, he wants to snatch Jingsheng from me. You better teach him and tell him that everything of Family Jing is mine and he can only dream about it. He will get nothing. ”
Having said the words, he ignored Mo Lan’s pathetic condition and left the house.
Jing Yichen had already calmed down after he walked out of the villa and went into the car.
He had always had good control of himself. If Mo Lan had not mentioned his mother today, he would not have gotten so furious.
If he could bring his mother back to life, he would do anything.
As long as his mother could stay alive.
But it was not possible.
Mo Lan had made an irreversible mistake and he couldn’t persuade himself into showing her a good face.
She always favored Jing Yiran no matter what happened. Well, it was fine with him because he didn’t need Mo Lan’s care.
He came to Family Jing to give a warning to Jing Yiran because he had been so greedy that he wanted to collaborate with an outsider. It had nothing to do with their old family affairs.
Ji Bo had called him this afternoon and demanded that Jing Yiran should be the representative for the collaboration between the two enterprises and that only Jing Yiran and Shangguan Ning should be allowed to handle the financial department. Otherwise he would not allow his financial team to stay in Jingsheng for further collaboration.
He knew pretty well that Jing Yiran was trying to give Jingsheng to Family Ji.
Jing Yichen sneered – Ji Bo, you are too greedy to stay healthy!
Collaboration?
Well, I am the decision maker and final voice at Family Jing. But you are not the decision maker of Family Ji.
Jing Yiran had already caused enormous trouble for Family Jing because of Shen Lingbing and now he was aiming at Jingsheng. He was living a smooth life, wasn’t he?
Ji Bo had even thought about taking Shangguan Ning in? He seemed to be too bored with his life, wasn’t he?
Jing Yichen drove the car back home.
Seeing Shangguan Ning busy in the kitchen, he gradually became calm and coldness left his body.
Shangguan Ning turned around and saw him. She came to him and gave him a spoonful of the chicken and sea cucumber soup she had just made. “Try and see if it tastes good. I picked up the recipe from Uncle Du!”
She had a bright smile and looked very proud, making Jing Yichen’s heart soften.
He drank the soup and said with a smile, “Very tasty, Chef Shangguan.”
