Chapter 2552: Extremely Selfish

“No wonder he’s been absent for so long after returning to the cultivation world! He’s been forbidden to leave.” Jing Yunyao understood why she hadn’t seen Jing Jining. Actually, Jing Jining had told her that he would come out soon, and he also said that he would come to see her afterwards.

She thought that Jing Jining was busy with something else, which made him not come to see her, but unexpectedly, he was kept in the cultivation world.

“Master and I visited the cultivation world today. We met a few disciples from Tiandaozong. They helped us bring Uncle Jing over. However, Jing Yunyan also came, which we felt wasn’t right. Given Uncle Jing’s bad relationship with Jing Yunyan, they wouldn’t come together. We made up an excuse and chased Jing Yunyan out. Then we asked Uncle Jing about it, and learned the reason,” said Gu Ning.

“If so, the Jing family will surely hurt Jining because they think he has told you something…” Jing Yunyao immediately got worried. Since they forbade Jing Jining from leaving the cultivation world and sent someone to spy on him if he left the house, they must be suspicious of him.

In fact, Jing Jining indeed told Shangguan Yang that the Jing family was already aware that Jing Yunyao was still alive.

“If Jing Yaorong still has his reason, he wouldn’t hurt Uncle Jing’s family. If he dares to do that, Tiandaozong will punish him. By then, his dirty secret will be exposed too. Jing Yaorong is aware of your relationship with master, and he stands in awe of master, so he should be careful.” Gu Ning said, “Well, if Jing Yaorong loses his reason, anything can happen. So both master and I think you should advance your plan if it’s possible. Uncle Jing can get free earlier too.”

Although it wasn’t very likely that Jing Yaorong would hurt Jing Jining, it still filled them with worry.

“I know. As soon as Shaoting is back, we’ll go to the cultivation world,” said Jing Yunyao. She didn’t want to delay it any longer. After what happened to Jing Jining, she felt it was necessary for her to do it earlier.

If Jing Jining was hurt because of her, she would be full of guilt.

At this moment, Gu Ning took out Jing Jining’s phone from her pocket. She handed it to Jing Yunyao and said, “Mother Yunyao, this is from Uncle Jing. He said he recorded his conversation with Jing Yaorong. In the recording, Jing Yaorong admitted that he has tried to kill you. You can use this as evidence. Because it has been over a dozen years since they tried to kill you, I’m afraid there is no available evidence now. So this might help you.”

Hearing that, Jing Yunyao was touched. Jing Jining had done so much for her that she could never return.

Jing Yunyao took the phone, then played the recording. She didn’t mind that Shangguan Yang and Gu Ning were present. After all, they were aware of what she had been through, so there was no need for her to avoid them.

When they listened to the conversation between Jing Yaorong and Jing Jining, they were angry. Even though they knew the mastermind was Jing Yaorong, they were still angry when they heard that he took it for granted.

Jing Yaorong was extremely selfish. He had killed people, but claimed it was reasonable and didn’t accept revenge.

Because Jing Jining didn’t tell him that Jing Yunyao was still alive, he became suspicious of Jing Jining and blamed Jing Jining for everything.

It was extremely funny.

“He’s really selfish!” Gu Ning said angrily.

“Right.” Shangguan Yang agreed. He was unwilling to be involved in their grudge, but he hated Jing Yaorong.

Although Shangguan Yang wasn’t involved, he openly said that he was willing to support Jing Yunyao and Leng Shaoting if they needed his help.

If they were at a disadvantage, he wouldn’t hesitate to join the battle. After all, Leng Shaoting was his disciple so he wouldn’t stand on the sidelines.

…

That night, Jing Yunyao couldn’t sleep at all. She hated Jing Yaorong deeper after hearing the recording.

She hated him, not because he was cruel to her, but because he hurt Leng Yuanhan.

He killed them, but believed that it was reasonable and claimed that they deserved it.

Who did he think he was? He had no right to decide who should be killed!

He killed her husband and left Leng Shaoting as an orphan. She had been separated from her son for sixteen years. However, Jing Yaorong still believed that they deserved it.

What had Leng Yuanhan done wrong? He barely knew anything.

At the same time, Jing Yunyao also blamed herself. If it hadn’t been for her, Leng Yuanhan wouldn’t have been dragged into the tragedy.

If it weren’t for Leng Shaoting, Jing Yunyao would have killed herself after Leng Yuanhan died. However, she found Leng Shaoting now, and couldn’t leave Leng Shaoting with the pain of losing both of his parents again.

Therefore, she would pay Jing Yaorong back for Leng Yuanhan.

She didn’t have the heart to kill Jing Yaorong, which meant Leng Yuanhan couldn’t be totally avenged. After all, Jing Yaorong was her father, even though what he had done was totally unacceptable.

However, she could make him live in pain, so it was also a good way to take revenge for Leng Yuanhan.

…

Jing Yaorong said that he would trust Jing Jining once, but he wasn’t fully convinced. He sent out his people to investigate Leng Shaoting in case Shangguan Yang told Jing Yunyao that he was already aware that she was still alive.

Since Leng Shaoting was Jing Yunyao’s son, he could use Leng Shaoting to control Jing Yunyao.

Leng Shaoting wasn’t in the capital now, so Jing Yaorong’s people failed to find him, but he found out that Gu Ning was Leng Shaoting’s fiancée.

Once they learned that Leng Shaoting was a member of the Leng family, they directly got information from people who knew the Leng family.

Gu Ning wasn’t a strange name in the Jing family, because they had gone to see her for the magical power in medicines produced by Colaine and Kouzi make-up products.

Gu Ning told them that a master gave the ingredient to her. They didn’t know who the master was, but they realized it was Shangguan Yang after knowing about her relationship with Leng Shaoting and Jing Yunyao.
