Chapter 184: Don’t Worry about Me, Do as You Wish
Jing Yichen couldn’t help but laugh after hearing Shangguan Ning’s words.
He didn’t stop laughing until Shangguan Ning furiously ordered him to. “My darling wife, can’t you just be a bit high-headed? You are the Lady of the powerful Family Jing, the lady of Jingsheng Enterprise who is worth hundreds of billions of yuan. Also, a compensation worth tens of billions from Family Ji was given to you recently, and your Liyu Science & Technology makes a revenue of tens of millions a year. Why do you still care about these coal mines? Just pretend that you are being kind if someone steals your coal, and let the thief live off well! The coal mines are extremely huge and will take at least ten years to finish the extraction even if tremendous amount of labor and money is used for extraction, day and night.”
After hearing his words, Shangguan Ning chuckled on the other side of the phone. Apparently, she also found it funny that she was being overly careful.
The couple talked and laughed over the phone. They sounded very happy but hated it that they were not by each other’s side. It was a different feeling to have conversation face-to-face.
Jing Yichen used to like being on business trips earlier, because it meant that he could get away from his family and the people he detested so much. But now, he disliked it when he had to go for these trips, because it meant that he wasn’t able to see his wife for a while. But he didn’t like taking Shangguan Ning with him on the trip because he travelled extensively and it would be too tiring for her. He barely had time to sleep. Instead, he wanted to finish the work as soon as possible so that he could return to China and to the woman he longed for.
...
Two days later, the news channels and newspapers of A City were thronged with the news that Shangguan Zheng had become the Mayor. The public found it weird that the Mayor of A City kept changing so frequently.
On the other hand, Shangguan Rouxue’s return to the TV Station was not as big a news but she still received a lot of attention from many people.
This was because the first thing Shangguan Zheng did when he became the Mayor was to clarify things on behalf of Shangguan Rouxue. He said that the pictures at her wedding were all photoshopped and it had been an evil trick employed by the former Mayor to prevent him from taking up the Mayor’s position and Shangguan Rouxue had been an innocent victim in the political fight.
The moment Shangguan Zheng became the Mayor, Xie Zhuojun came to Family Shangguan, tore the divorce paper into pieces and apologized to her. “Xue, I was just too angry looking at those pictures, please don’t take it to heart. Come back home with me!”
Shangguan Rouxue had dreamt about Xie Zhuojun coming to apologize to her and to take her home.
And the wish was realized today, exactly how she had imagined it!
She happily went back to the villa that had been newly bought for their marriage.
The house was newly decorated, and the red “happiness” character was pasted on the windows and the wall. Even the blankets were of shining red color for the newly-wedded couple.
Shangguan Rouxue started to unpack her clothes and place the garments into Xie Zhuojun’s wardrobe, one piece after another. But when she turned around, she found that Xie Zhuojun was missing.
She sought him through the entire villa but failed to see him anywhere.
Anxious, she called him.
Xie Zhuojun picked up the phone quickly and said in his gentle voice. “I have got affairs to deal with at the company. Sleep now, I will be late in returning home.”
He consoled Shangguan Rouxue patiently. But the moment he hung up the phone, Xie Zhuojun’s smile disappeared. Instead, he looked disgusted and distant.
He was not going home. He got so disgusted at the sight of this woman who had been with so many men!
Xie Zhuojun never wanted to see Shangguan Rouxue again. But Shangguan Zheng suddenly became the mayor for some reason and his parents forced him to get Shangguan Rouxue back home!
How many men had she cheated him with? Many friends and relatives kept whispering about him being impotent, although they remained polite to him on the surface.
His wonderful life had been completely ruined by this woman!
But he had to tolerate her for his company and for his parents, because when Shangguan Zheng became the Mayor, Family Xie would have to face the consequences if he was offended.
Xie Zhuojun felt dispirited whenever he thought that he had to spend the rest of his days with this kind of woman.
He was extremely regretful right now. He regretted it very much that he had pushed away Shangguan Ning who was a beautiful jade but kept Shangguan Rouxue who was made of sand. This woman had skinned him and made his eyes bleed, yet he had to try his best to tolerate it!
...
Shangguan Ning finally understood what Jing Yiran had done after reading the news reports.
He had claimed that he had solved some small matters for her family and it turned out that he had helped Shangguan Zheng to get hold of the Mayor position and Shangguan Rouxue get back her job as the hostess.
Was he crazy?
If Jing Yiran were standing by her side now, she would have smashed a vase on his bizarre head again.
What benefits did he get after he helped these people? Did he think that she would obey Shangguan Zheng and Shangguan Rouxue if he did this?
Seeing his wife getting red in the face, Jing Yichen understood that she was very angry. He consoled her softly, “Don’t worry. Everything is under my control. I won’t let them prevail for too long. But I would like to ask you for a suggestion, because my next move might remove your father from his official position. I will protect his reputation. But he will become a common man. We can take care of him when he gets old. But I can’t guarantee that he will be on a high rank any more. If I don’t do this, he will put you in danger by combining forces with Jing Yiran.”
However terrible Shangguan Zheng was, he was, after all Shangguan Ning’s father. Jing Yichen had to take his wife’s feelings into consideration before making a decision.
Also, if Shangguan Zheng was hated by the public, Shangguan Ning would also be involved as his daughter.
He didn’t want his wife to get involved when he extracted revenge. She had nothing to do with any of this.
Shangguan Ning knew that Jing Yichen was concerned about her, and hence had restrained his every move. Shangguan Zheng would have lost the possibility of being a high ranking officer ages ago if Jing Yichen had done things his way.
She sat down next to him, leaned her head against his body and said firmly, “Yichen, you don’t need to worry about me. Do what you should do. I have wanted him to be away from the political field for a very long time. That is the best way to handle him, or he would keep using tricks for power throughout his life. At this rate, he may end up in prison if his deeds are exposed. Keep his reputation intact and make him quit. This is the best we can do.”
Jing Yichen kissed his wife’s forehead and said calmly, “Okay, I know what to do.”
