My Secretary is a Little Sweet - Chapter 251

Chapter 251: Death by Force (Part One)

Tiger also found it strange when he, for the second time, saw Lu behaving differently. He looked at her, but found no apparent difference. So he continued to drive ahead.

Jing Yichen was the only one who had no visible reaction. Seated on the passenger seat, he leafed through the documents and texted every now and then.

Staying silent for a long time, Lu finally spoke, “I don’t know if I am sick. Maybe I am!”

She still talked in a baby-tone, yet she looked really different.

Shangguan Ning didn’t know what was going on with her. She was worried about her seeing her behave abnormally.

She took Lu into her arms softly and didn’t release her even after she felt her stiffen. Instead, she patted her back gently and said in a mild tone, “It is okay, you are fine, except that you can be childish sometimes and mature sometimes. It is very normal. We all have times when we are in a bad mood or a good mood. It is not a big deal. Make sure to tell me if you are not feeling well next time, so you can go home and rest instead of staying with me.”

Lu’s body relaxed after hearing what she said. But she didn’t hold Shangguan Ning’s waist or bury her head in her arms.

When they came to Shangguan Ning’s home, she got off the car first. Jing Yichen followed behind her. But after just a few steps, Lu stopped him with her out-stretched arms.

“Something is not right. Be careful! I will walk in first, you and Brother Jing follow me behind.”

It seemed weird listening to her giving instructions in her baby-like voice.

But Shangguan Ning believed her out of instinct and immediately walked behind her and told her, “Lu, you must be careful as well.”

Jing Yichen didn’t seem uneasy at all and held Shangguan Ning’s hand. He walked forward as if he were strolling through his own garden. He even asked Shangguan Ning, “That cherry tree looks nice. We can get one in our house too.”

Shangguan Ning liked cherries and he had been talking about planting one for her.

Shangguan Ning, who had been feeling anxious after Lu’s words, relaxed hearing what Jing Yichen said.

A small smile hovered on her lips. “I planted that tree. Uncle asked someone to buy the sapling and Huang Xinyi and I even had a fight over this very tree. I won so I carried the tree back home. But it didn’t grow fruits for so many years that it slipped out of my mind. But it has borne fruits now. Very surprising!”

They talked while walking into the living room of the villa.

No one was there. Tiger made a call and Lee Duo dragged a woman out with unkempt hair from the second floor.

He tossed her on the ground and then greeted Jing Yichen and Shangguan Ning courteously.

“Master, Lady, I have brought the woman. Also, Second Master is here with many men. Lady’s father is with Second Master now.”

After hearing what Lee Duo said, Jing Yichen still maintained his expressionless look. He was calm as if he had predicted it. But Shangguan Ning frowned.

Why was Jing Yiran here? He was everywhere!

Shangguan Zheng must have gotten him here. Since when did they both get so close?

Shangguan Ning was just thinking about it when Jing Yiran came downstairs with his men. Shangguan Zheng, who looked very energetic, was following him.

Jing Yiran patted Shangguan Zheng’s shoulders and laughed loudly, “My dear father-in-law, I will definitely treat you well. Don’t worry! Ning was angry and said those words. Please don’t take them seriously. She is just too spoiled. I will set her right in a few days. Then she will be totally fine!”

Shangguan Ning got so angry by Jing Yiran’s shamelessness.

Who was he calling father-in-law? Who did he want to set right? Maniac!

Shangguan Ning was angry but someone was even angrier than her. That was why suddenly Jing Yiran fell from stairs and when he was helped up, he had bruises all over the face.

Jing Yichen waved his hands and asked Lee Duo to retreat.

He said in a cold voice, “The consequence of your stupid talk is that your arms and legs will be broken. But death makes people mute forever. I have allowed you to live till date, not because I fear my father, but because you didn’t choose your birth and didn’t choose to be a bastard! You better not touch my bottom-line, or you will end up being worse than your mother.”

Jing Yiran pushed off the men beside him and walked to Jing Yichen with anger on his face. “So, you admit that you killed my mother? Haha, didn’t you refuse to admit anything? Aren’t you so good at pretending? So you stop pretending when the man who is able to control you, is not present?”

Jing Yichen’s eyes were cold. He said distantly, “It doesn’t matter if I killed her. What matters is that you think I killed her. Also, it doesn’t matter if you kill me. What matters is that you want me to die. But you are just too naïve. Do you really think that Ji Bo is going to bring me and Family Jing down? Jing Yiran, you will pay dearly for what you have done. You are not too far away from death.”

Jing Yiran almost went crazy when he heard the words. “You bugged me again?! No, that is impossible! My bar can’t be tampered with.”

“Bugged you? I didn’t need to do anything. Ji Bo told me everything you said. You can ask him why he chose to do so. You will be driven out of the home now and become a beggar. As for now, you better get out of here, because someone is trying to kill himself. If you want to intrude, then the suicide team might become bigger. You can give them company down to hell!”

Jing Yiran was startled. He said incredibly, “This is impossible. You are lying. It can’t be Ji Bo. Why would he want to betray me?”

Jing Yichen ignored him, completely. Instead, he looked at Shangguan Zheng and said coldly, “You can begin with your suicide now. Cut your wrist!”

Shangguan Zheng didn’t expect that Shangguan Ning and Jing Yichen really planned to go through with it. He kicked Yang Wenshu on the floor in panic and shouted loudly, “You bloody woman, go and die now! You forced Liyu to die back then and you must pay for that. Kill yourself and leave me alone!”
