Chapter 425: Friends

Ye Qian’s face turned purple.
Jing Ning quickly said, “Grandpa, Ye Qian is my fiancée!”
Old Master Jing looked at him indifferently. “Jing Ning, how long has it been since Nanyang passed? I don’t object to you finding a new girlfriend. But it’s too early for you to move on like this. You’re the Jing Family’s eldest son. You need to be cautious with your marriage!”
Ye Qian’s expression could be described as utterly embarrassed. She held Jing Ning’s arm tightly, looking as if she was about to cry.
Jing Ning’s heartache was written all over his face, and he hurriedly patted her hand to comfort her.
“Grandpa, Ye Qian is only concerned about our family. You know how important this business is to our family. This should belong to the Jing Family, so who gave Nanxing the right to steal it from us? She’s supposed to be 7th uncle’s fiance, but she is working against us! I suspect she is behind 7th uncle’s disappearance!”
Old Master Jing frowned. “Jing Ning, you’re normally quite clever, so why are you suddenly so dumb? How can you go around suspecting people without evidence and even bringing in the police? Earlier, you suspect Nanxing of kidnapping me. Now that I’m standing here, you suspect her of being related to your 7th uncle’s disappearance. How powerful do you think Nanxing is to orchestrate all that?” Old Master Jing said with dissatisfaction.
Jing Ning was at a loss for words.
Ye Qian couldn’t help but add, “Old Master, that is because you’re not familiar with Nanxing’s background.”
Old Master Jing interrupted her, “I know her background very well. You don’t have to worry about this. If anything, it’s your background that I’m not familiar with. The Jing Family already has to deal with one Jing Qi who is in the underworld. I can’t allow Jing Ning to get wrapped in the underworld too! I was quite satisfied with Jing Ning marrying Nanyang, but you have to force her to her death. Such a sin!”
Old Master Jing shook his head and made to leave.
Ye Qian’s words were stuck in her throat. She must be suffocating from all the accusations.
She suddenly looked at me, her eyes filling with hatred.
I smiled coolly back at her.
She promised me that she wouldn’t be my enemy. If I didn’t have the memory from my previous life, I might have believed me. She and Lu Yan were truly the most venomous pair of sisters.
Jing Ning said anxiously, “Grandpa, we’re still in public. Why don’t we go somewhere more private to talk? Grandpa, Mr. Smith’s business deal is crucial to the Jing Group. You need to help us!”
The old man patted his grandson’s shoulder. “Okay. Leave the rest to me. Consider that you have been given a holiday. You have done a lot recently. I’m sure you’re tired. I’ll take over, and you don’t need to worry about the rest.” Old Master Jing turned and left his precious grandson behind.
Jing Ning moved to chase after Old Master Jing, but Ah Mang and Da Xiong stopped him. They were quite good bodyguards and forced Jing Ning to stop.
The show was over. It was time for me to leave too.
“Nanxing!” Jing Ning shouted my name angrily.
I glanced at the couple and the reporters. “Young Master Ning, why are you finding troubles with me? If you have any questions, please refer to Old Master Jing.”
I turned to walk away. I felt so comfortable. The anger stuck in my chest dissipated.
Ye Qian and Jing Ning thought their plan was flawless. They didn’t expect us to cut a way through it. I wanted to see how they’d answer to their boss and the real culprit.
Ye Qian and I, we were never destined to be friends.
