My Secretary is a Little Sweet

Chapter 357 - Great-Grandson?

Chapter 357: Great-Grandson?

Mo Lan hadn’t understood until this moment why Jing Tianyuan and Jing Zhongxiu always favored Jing Yichen rather than Jing Yiran.

Because Jing Yiran had done nothing for the Family whilst asking for everything from the family.

Whilst Jing Yichen had been dedicating himself to the family all the time, despite behaving distant and ruthlessly. What he had been doing was to try to protect Family Jing with all he could. He would always put the general interest of Family Jing above everything else no matter what happened to the Family rather than gain his own interests in the chaos.

He was an excellent heir of the Family!

Jing Yichen ignored the complicated look from Mo Lan but said to Jing Tianyuan calmly, “Don’t worry, Grandpa. Anything except for human life, will be gained back by me. I have all kinds of methods to bring back whatever I need. I will bring back everything from the list. There are quite a few of them here, so Grandpa, please give me three years’ time, after which, I will give you everything on the list.”

Jing Tianyuan got slightly assured after hearing what his grandson said.

A slightly serious expression appeared on his face. “No, after you get all of these properties, I will check them in person. These are all your things and you don’t need to give me anything. The ancestors have given us the properties and when you get the quarter, I will give you the 3?4th which I have got right here. According to the regulation, I should have given it to your father, but you are the efficient heir of Family Jing, so I feel assured to give you all of them instead.”

Jing Yichen got a bit startled. He threw a look at Jing Zhongxiu sitting by the bedside of Jing Tianyuan. He had no expression on his face as if he had predicted everything. He said seriously, “Don’t worry Grandpa, I will pass everything of Family Jing down to the next generation.”

Jing Tianyuan nodded and then threw a look at Shangguan Ning before saying without hesitation. “I have just got one requirement. You have to be the owner of everything, rather than Ning.”

Jing Yichen got startled, so did Shangguan Ning. She had never expected that when grandpa and grandson were talking about such a serious matter, they would turn to her topic.

She had been deeply immersed in the seriousness and solemnity of Family Jing’s inheritance. She admired this ritual very much.

But she soon came back to herself. She understood that Jing Tianyuan was worried that she might make the same mistake as Mo Lan

Shangguan Ning said to Jing Tianyuan with a smile, “Oh Grandpa, aren’t you worried that I might get upset when you speak like that in front of me? But you think too little of me. I don’t want any of the properties of Family Jing. After all, I have a lot of money to spend. You better keep your properties well sealed!”

Jing Tianyuan burst into laughter all of a sudden after hearing what she said.

That was the first smile he had shown in the past few days.

“Don’t worry, girl, I won’t give you a hard time. All of these things will be given to my great-grandson and what you will get will be the things I earn myself. I have a lot of wonderful things with me.”

Shangguan Ning smiled. “Thank you very much, Grandpa!”

She only expressed gratitude rather than the willingness of whether or not she would accept it, because when the time came, she would listen to Jing Yichen to decide if she should accept whatever he gave her.

The old lord could live at least a dozen years more. He needed them to spend his remaining days with.

Jing Yichen also showed a slight smile on the face as he said with a low voice, “I will complete everything that you have asked me to. Ning won’t touch any of them, because she has no interest in them at all.”

Actually, what he wanted to say was that Shangguan Ning was a woman easily satisfied. What she wanted was to live a simple life. She had little need for money and Jing Tianyuan didn’t need to get worried.

Also, there would not be anybody like Zhang Rong who appeared between them and cause problems.

Shangguan Ning’s words made the atmosphere get relaxed. Everyone else had a smile on their faces apart from Mo Lan.

The moment Mu Wensheng entered the room, he saw the happy face of the family and got cheerful. “Ha, what is everyone so happy for? Are you welcoming me to release the blood from the patient’s body?”

Everyone was amused. When Jing Yichen saw him coming, he spared the seat for him and sat down on the sofa next to Shangguan Ning.

Mu Wensheng didn’t ask the family to leave when he started the procedure for Jing Tianyuan. He was just talking and laughing with Jing Tianyuan as he put the needles in his body. Then Jing Tianyuan spat out few mouthfuls of blood.

After he spat out the blood, Mu Wensheng poked open the skin on his arm, forcing the blood to gush out little by little.

The entire process finished after almost one hour.

Due to the preparations made earlier, Jing Tianyuan was completely awake.

Mo Lan sat next to Jing Tianyuan and helped him instead of Jing Zhongxiu.

Mu Wensheng had an on-and-off attitude towards Mo Lan today. But seeing that she took such great care of Jing Tianyuan, he felt much better.

He put away the silver needle and felt Jing Tianyuan’s pulse, put in the infusion himself and sat down by the bedside after he finished all the work.

“Alright, he is definitely not going to die today. I can go home with an assured heart.”

“Are you leaving? Yichen will take you home.”

“No hurry, I have one more person’s pulse to feel!”

Jing Tianyuan got slightly startled. “Whose?” Maybe Mo Lan? She passed out last night too.

Mu Wensheng ignored him and said to Shangguan Ning, “Come, girl.”

Shangguan Ning didn’t expect to be pointed out by him. She threw a look at Jing Yichen who also looked a bit astonished and then walked towards him, confused. “Anything you want to tell me, Grandpa Mu?”

Mu Wensheng said in composure looking mysterious. “Give me your arm.”

Confused, Shangguan Ning stretched out her arm obediently.

Did she look like someone who was sick?

Mu Wensheng withdrew the fingers after feeling her pulse for just a few seconds and said, “Old Jing, you are one step ahead of me again.”

Shangguan Ning was still confused when Jing Tianyuan suddenly sat up. His face was full of ecstasy and excitement that couldn’t be concealed. “Old Mu, am I getting a great-grandson?”
