Chapter 285: Robber on the Highway
Shangguan Ning and Jing Yichen, who kept visiting the toilet throughout the night, finally stopped when the dawn came. They managed to sleep peacefully for two hours.
After they got up at 8, they had expected to feel feeble and dizzy like the night before, but the situation turned out to be completely different.
They had no discomfort after diarrhea, instead felt that the body was relaxed and full of energy.
How marvelous!
The medical wine showed excellent aftereffects and it seemed that their physical condition was definitely going to improve if they drank it regularly.
Jing Zhongxiu and Huang Lihan had also been worried that they would have problems after diarrhea, but seeing both the kids happy and cheerful, they felt that a load was taken off from their chest.
“Yichen, Ning, how are you feeling? Anything amiss?”
Smiling brightly, Shangguan Ning said, “Dad, we are both doing great. The delicious wine which you gave us is a precious treasure. I feel so light and strong at the same time, to fly off the ground. I might even become capable enough to walk on water at this rate.”
The wine was indeed a precious thing, except that it might be a bit too expensive, especially when one billion was spent on it. Jing Zhongxiu was so generous. She finally understood why Jing Yichen possessed a sense of a lombard – he might have learnt that from Jing Zhongxiu!
They all were amused by Shangguan Ning’s words.
Seeing his son and daughter-in-law looking radiant and vigorous, Jing Zhongxiu was very happy.
Luckily, he hadn’t robbed the eighty-year-old Old Mu’s things in vain after sacrificing his morals. He wasn’t sad to have spent one billion and will not ask Jing Yichen to pay the bill either. He was going to pay for the one billion he had promised, since it was a gift to the couple from him. Jing Yichen will be the investor in name only. Honestly, Family Jing still emerged as the victorious one here. Mu Wensheng had not wanted to sell him these two bottles and he still managed to get them, even if he had to pay one billion yuan.
“Follow Mu Qing’s instruction. Drink a little at a time and you will have the two bottles last an entire year!” Jing Zhongxiu was in a very good mood. He had an affable smile on his face and felt very proud as a father to be able to get what his children needed to stay healthy and happy.
“I will take something more from him when you finish with these two bottles. Old Mu has run out of the gold wine, but he has many other kinds, like the light yellow, the white ones which have lower density than these two bottles. He must have brewed those wines during recent years. According to Old Mu, they are great for health as well.”
Shangguan Ning laughed. Jing Zhongxiu was developing a habit of robbing. He now looked far from the image of a formidable president who possessed hundreds of billions of properties. He was now a robber!
“Thank you in advance, Dad. You can ask Uncle to go with you so that the two of you can look after each other. Old Mu is fit and strong, but he might not be strong enough to deal with both of you. Haha!”
Huang Lihan laughed. “Okay! I will go with him. I haven’t met this legendary doctor whom everyone talks about.”
Jing Yichen couldn’t help but shake his head when he was reminded of the scene where his ears had been pulled by Old Mu and Mu Qing was addressed as a “little bastard”.
He said smilingly, “You might be very surprised to meet the legendary doctor, because he... scolds everyone he runs into, especially the ones who rob him of his things.”
They talked and laughed for a while. After making sure that the couple was fine, Jing Zhongxiu and Huang Lihan went to eat breakfast.
But Shangguan Ning and Jing Yichen left for home without breakfast, just as what Mu Qing had instructed them to do. They were not hungry, either. Instead, they felt like being bathed in the warm sun.
Seated in the car, Shangguan Ning tilted her head and said, “Not sure what Grandpa Mu has added inside the wine. It seems to be so nutritious. I am not feeling hungry at all.”
Jing Yichen nodded and a smile hovered over his face. “Don’t you know that Grandpa Mu really likes collecting different precious things. He refuses to move even an inch when he spots some rare medicinal materials. Also, he demands that he should only be given medicinal materials as presents on his birthdays.”
That was so strange. Medicines as birthday presents? So inauspicious!
But Mu Wensheng didn’t care about auspiciousness. He knew pretty well how long he could live and that his lifespan would not be reduced just because someone gave him medicines as birthday presents.
“Grandpa Mu must have put the best things which he collected throughout his life into that wine, hasn’t he?”
“Yes! I know that he has been researching in this field to prolong lifespan, and keeps saying that he will be able to live until 150 years old. We had taken that as a joke, but it seems that he was not joking at all. He is definitely going to pass down the secrets to Mu Qing, so we can visit Mu Qing often and get things from him in the future.”
Jing Yichen had just talked about getting things from Mu Qing when he appeared right in front of him. This time, he was here to rob him of things!
“Ah, Master Jing, you are finally back. I have been waiting for two hours at the gate of your compound. Quick, give me one sip of the gold wine. My grandpa says that one sip, one decade more.”
Mu Qing couldn’t stop himself from opening the door for Jing Yichen as if he were his servant.
Seated in the white Jaguar, Zhao Anan rolled her eyes and sighed with hands against her head. “Does he look like the Head of a Hospital? Must he be so excited for just a sip of wine?”
She unfastened her seat belt and walked out of the car. Mu Qing had stopped restraining her anymore because she had been behaving well.
“Hey, what did you drink? I heard you talking about that for half of last night. I also want a sip of this precious thing.”
Shangguan Ning got both annoyed and amused seeing them tangling with each other as if they were about to start a fight.
Jing Yichen sat in the car calmly and had no expression on the face. But Shangguan Ning could feel that he also wanted to laugh. The grandson had come to rob them of the thing which they had taken away from his grandpa. He looked like a robber who had popped up on the highway.
“Go and ask your grandpa if you want any. We have got only two bottles here, too little to share. But you have many at home.”
Jing Zhongxiu had taken the bottles for their sake and he was going to be scolded by Grandpa Mu as well. Also, he had paid one billion yuan for the wine. Mu Qing wasn’t going to get even one sip from it!
Jing Yichen had decided the night before that he would not drink a lot from the bottle. He would give the maximum to Shangguan Ning, especially when she became pregnant. She would need sufficient nutrients and the richly nutritious wine would be of great help. He was not going to waste even a single drop, considering that Grandpa Mu had bragged so much about how good it was for pregnant women and babies.
