My Secretary is a Little Sweet - Chapter 467

Chapter 467: A Fatal Strike (Part One)

The first thing the old lady of Family Ji did, after she woke up was not to check up how her precious granddaughter was faring, but to fire Ji Bo from his position as the president. She also tried to recall all the shares from him and forced him to divorce Yang Muyan!

But Ji Bo agreed with none of them.

Standing by his grandma’s bedside, he was wearing a tailor-made suit only done last month. But it had become one size larger, already. He had lost so much weight during this period.

Ji Bo looked much fiercer after losing so much weight, not so elegant and gentle anymore, and he spoke in a very straightforward way.

“Grandma, I am the most suitable candidate for the President. Uncle is too old for the position!”

Ji Minjue, who had been taking care of the old lady, almost sprang up and punched Ji Bo on his face.

The old lady didn’t like to hear such words. But Ji Bo didn’t give her a chance to scold him further. Instead, he continued. “My shares are the fruits of my own work and it is impossible for me to give them away. On the contrary, I believe that everyone else in the family should give their shares to me.”

The old lady almost died out of rage because of what her grandson said. She had not expected that he would stop listening to her to such an extent and talk about acquiring more shares all the time!

She thought that it was reasonable for her to recall the shares from Ji Bo. She was the senior in the family. She had thought that Ji Bo would be like how he used to be before – obedient and polite.

“Also, I will divorce Yang Muyan, but not now. When Family Ji reaches the peak of A City, I will do the needful.”

Having said so, Ji Bo left the hospital, ignoring how angry and disappointed his grandma was.

Family Ji’s Enterprise needed his presence every second in these tough times. He needed to control the situation, otherwise many more employees would continue to resign.

Amidst all this, Chinese New Year arrived in A City.

The surroundings were getting festive and many companies had shut for holidays. Shangguan Ning and Jing Yichen had stopped going to work, as well. Shangguan Ning was resting and Jing Yichen was busy taking care of her.

Jing Yichen caressed Shangguan Ning’s bulging stomach, lovingly.

“We will have one more member in our family this time, next year. Then we can take our son out to burst some firecrackers.”

He had not forgotten how happy Shangguan Ning had been when she watched the children setting firecrackers in the compound, last year.

Shangguan Ning was very fond of kids. She was definitely going to be a great mother.

Shangguan Ning smiled happily after hearing what Jing Yichen said. She believed that everything was going to be just fine.

But as she was smiling, she suddenly thought of Zhao Anan who was still missing as well as Mu Qing who was in the UK, seeking her.

“Yichen, nothing from Anan yet?”

Jing Yichen’s smile weakened as he said in a low voice, “Not yet. This girl must be having fun somewhere. That’s quite normal. Don’t worry, she will be fine.”

He didn’t tell Shangguan Ning the truth, fearing that she would get worried.

That Zhao Anan might have been kidnapped was not told to Shangguan Ning or Zhao Zhao. Jing Yichen was worried that Zhao Zhao would cry herself to death.

It was not yet certain who had taken Zhao Anan and where she was hidden. They didn’t even know whether she was alive or dead at this moment. Jing Yichen simply couldn’t reveal anything to either of them.

Mu Qing had once said that Yang Muyan could not have caught her. Although Yang Muyan wanted to do something about Zhao Anan, she had been one step late. Someone else had taken her away already.

Who else could it have been if it was not Yang Muyan?

Jing Yichen had a hunch. He wanted to test it after the Chinese New Year.

If his hunch proved right, Zhao Anan might not be in any fatal danger.

Jing Yichen didn’t care if she was suffering some pain right now as long as she was not in mortal danger.

Zhao Anan had sneaked away without telling anybody, making his and Zheng Jing’s men searching for her everywhere. Many people had sacrificed for her and Mu Qing even abandoned his hospital and home just to look for her.

It was good if Zhao Anan suffered a little, to make her think twice if she wanted to run away again.

The Chinese New Year was a couple of days away and Jing Yichen went to do some shopping with Shangguan Ning in the mall.

The mall was festive and cozy with many visitors flowing in back and forth. Jing Yichen kept Shangguan Ning protected, fearing that someone would bump into her.

Shangguan Ning was wearing a pair of baggy pants and an extra-large top. Since her stomach was showing, the passers-by voluntarily stayed away from her.

People were aware that pregnant women needed extra care. No one dared to get close to Shangguan Ning.

But Jing Yichen’s attraction was posing to be a problem. Despite a mask on him, he still looked charismatically resplendent.

Many women stared at him and someone even recognized him as the famous President of Jingsheng Enterprise – Jing Yichen.

Luckily Jing Yichen tended to keep a low-profile, so he got rid of the women very fast.

Shangguan Ning pursed her lips when she caught sight of this handsome man with a mask.

It was so unfair! She was pregnant, looking like a whale whilst Jing Yichen was still so appealing as he always was. Right now, there was a huge gap between them.

Jing Yichen couldn’t help but smile bitterly as he understood Shangguan Ning’s look.

He didn’t mean to attract those women. He didn’t like them and didn’t want Shangguan Ning to get jealous of them, either. He was going to be a father soon and didn’t want Shangguan Ning to be upset about anything at this moment.

But Shangguan Ning liked the festive ambience in the mall, and wanted to come and take a look around. That was why Jing Yichen was here with her. Otherwise they would have asked the staff to do some shopping for them.

Shangguan Ning got a bit tired after walking around for a bit, so Jing Yichen took her home, immediately.

When they got home, Shangguan Ning’s feet and calves were slightly swelled up, so Jing Yichen carried her to the bed and massaged them gently for her.

Shangguan Ning fell asleep after getting the massage.

Seeing that she was fast asleep, Jing Yichen covered her with a blanket, stood up and walked to the study.

He had many things to deal with, especially those regarding Family Ji’s Enterprise. The most crucial moment had arrived and one more fatal strike would make the enterprise collapse completely.

Ji Bo had chosen the wrong path. And Jing Yichen had every reason to bring him down.

He had made an obvious deal with Yang Muyan – they wanted to handle Jing Yichen. With Jing Yiran as part of their team, their aim was more than just bringing down Jingsheng. They were aiming for his life!
