My Secretary is a Little Sweet

Chapter 183 - The Big Present



Chapter 183: The Big Present

Jing Yichen got to know about Jing Yiran helping Shangguan Zheng when he was on a business trip abroad.

He wasn’t surprised. Instead, he instructed Tiger calmly, “Don’t worry about our losses here. Just keep an eye on him. He will come up with more tricks when he combines forces with Shangguan Zheng. Focus upon collecting Shangguan Zheng’s scandals and hold onto Shangguan Rouxue’s things. Don’t leak them unless I order you to.”

Tiger replied in affirmation. Then he told Jing Yichen about Jing Yiran and Shangguan Ning’s conflict, with a bit of hesitation.

Upon hearing the words, Jing Yichen said coldly, “Is the Lady hurt?”

Tiger answered instantly, “No. The Lady is completely fine, but Second Master’s head has been hurt badly by the Lady’s action. He seems to be seriously injured and is now recovering at home. I heard from the Butler that the Lord is very angry, and he scolded the Second Master fiercely, and even Ms. Zhang. The two of them have been grounded by the Lord for one month and he even sent a compensating gift to the Lady.”

Tiger and his team who were loyal to Jing Yichen, addressed Jing Yichen’s dead mother Zhao Qing as the Lady and Zhang Rong as Ms. Zhang.

In their eyes, only Jing Yichen was the real heir of Family Jing whilst Zhang Rong and Jing Yiran had no position in their hearts at all.

Hearing that Shangguan Ning was fine, Jing Yichen let out a sigh of relief.

But he hadn’t expected that Jing Yiran and Zhang Rong would be grounded.

When he had fought with Jing Yiran earlier, Jing Zhongxiu had never favored him. Instead, he would think that Jing Yiran was badly injured and he would always be the one grounded after the fight whilst Jing Yiran would always receive everyone’s concern!

Now Jing Yiran was the one who got punished despite it being Shangguan Ning who had hit his head. This was something that had never happened in the family before!

His lovely wife had broken another record of Family Jing.

Seemed that Jing Yiran and Zhang Rong must be very annoyed! They were not only injured and punished but had also annoyed Jing Zhongxiu, so much that he had sent Shangguan Ning a compensating gift! Jing Zhongxiu’s presents had never been cheap, and Zhang Rong must be heartbroken because she was obsessed with money.

After he wrapped up his work, Jing Yichen called his wife immediately. He was still not assured, and he needed to ask her in person if she was okay and whether she had been frightened by Jing Yiran.

Shangguan Ning was completely dumbfounded by the compensating gift delivered to her by Jing Zhongxiu, when her husband called her from Russia.

“Ning, did Jing Yiran mess around again at the company today? Are you alright? Are you injured? If you are frightened, just go home and rest for two days. I am coming home tomorrow. You wait for me at home, I will take revenge for you.” Jing Yichen’s concern reached her through the phone clearly, making Shangguan Ning feel really warm in her anxious heart.

But what was the point of taking revenge? Jing Yiran had almost died because of the incident. Doctor said that he had received a serious head injury and needed at least half a year’s rest!

If Jing Yichen still took revenge for her, Zhang Rong might get very upset – her son’s head almost shattered and she was crazily heart-broken already.

“I am fine. It is Jing Yiran who is not. I didn’t spare any effort in smashing his head with the vase. Better buy more vases and place them everywhere at the company, so that I can use them as a weapon in crucial moments!” Shangguan Ning didn’t sound frightened at all. Instead, she sounded fascinated by the turn of events.

She might not have used so much force if Jing Yiran had not tried to suffocate her. She hadn’t got any time to think about her use of force when she herself was at the brink of death!

Hearing that Shangguan Ning sounded relaxed rather than frightened, Jing Yichen finally felt assured. He said calmly, “Yes, we better buy more vases, which should be of great quality, so that they can kill the man next time, sparing us any extra effort.”

Shangguan Ning didn’t think much about Jing Yiran. He was hurt only because he had asked for it. What concerned her was the compensating gift which Jing Zhongxiu gave her.

She fiddled with the two pieces of paper that represented those properties. She spoke to him in a low voice, “Yichen, father gave me a compensating gift after he got to know that Jing Yiran bullied me at the company. But I feel that the gift... might be a bit too much.”

Jing Yichen smiled and asked, “What did he give to you?”

Jing Zhongxiu was a generous man, and he liked Shangguan Ning so much that he regarded her as his own daughter. So the present he gave to her couldn’t have been too small.

“Father gave me the two mines in S City. Am I going to become a Mine Boss?”

Shangguan Ning sounded anxious yet excited. She felt that if she became a Mine Boss, it would be very interesting.

Jing Yichen’s heart shook when he heard about the present.

The two mines in S City didn’t belong to Jingsheng Enterprise, but were personal properties of Jing Zhongxiu. He had bought them at a low price from someone when he was young. When he had purchased them, everyone thought that the small mines were empty after five to six years of extraction. But after another year of extraction, it was discovered that there was much better quality coal hidden in the deep layers of the mines.

Jing Zhongxiu had kept the two mines for more than twenty years without any further extraction.

During the past few years, many mines were running out of resources, so the value of these two mines was getting higher and higher. They might be worth at least 700 – 800 million yuan in the present day. Zhang Rong had tried to make Jing Zhongxiu give the mines to Jing Yiran many times but Jing Zhongxiu never agreed.

Jing Yichen had also thought about the two mines, but Jing Zhongxiu had no intention of giving them to him, either.

Unexpectedly, however, he gave them away to Shangguan Ning so easily!

Jing Yichen sighed once again seeing Shangguan Ning receive special treatment.

Why would he get punishment when he punched Jing Yiran whilst Shangguan Ning was given such a valuable present when she did the same?

He smiled and consoled his wife. “Don’t worry, you deserve them if Father gave them to you. Just accept them, graciously. Remember to be my sugar mom when you suddenly get rich overnight because of the coal mines.”

Shangguan Ning burst into laughter. He was getting funnier by the day. How could he be so funny when he looked so cold and distant.

“Alright then, I will be your sugar mom and we won’t need to do anything more, because mining coal can make sure that we have enough food and clothes for many generations to come!”

Shangguan Ning teased and then sighed again. “Father is just too generous. He really frightens me with such a huge present. Is he encouraging me to smash Jing Yiran to death next time? Also, do you think that I should get someone to guard my mines, in case someone steals my coal!”
