His Beloved Treasure

There are always some people who refuse to give the younger ones face.

Feng Fanghua still ended up discussing the matter of those three families with Qin Mu, hoping she could persuade Mu Yichen to smooth things over. Qin Mu spoke to Mu Yichen about it that evening, but Mu Yichen really just gave it a listen.

The next day, those three families went to the Jing Family patriarch, who didn’t give a damn: Humph! His son really thinks he’s got stiff wings now, probably doesn’t give a hoot about you old things at this point.

”What should we do then? If he leaves Rongcheng, it won’t be good for the development of our city.”

”Yeah, and now with Qin Haiming as his father-in-law, if we keep showing him a cold face, could it be disadvantageous to us in the future?”

”How could it be disadvantageous? Don’t I still exist?”

The Jing Family patriarch looked up at the three juniors sitting on his sofa, his brow tightly furrowed.

They didn’t dare say more, but after they left, the Jing Family patriarch immediately called Jing Xianzong back, and after being briefed, Jing Xianzong went to Mu Yichen’s office.

This was also the first time Jing Xianzong had a formal conversation with him since Mu Yichen got married.

After finishing a meeting and returning to his office, Mu Yichen gave Jing Xianzong a perfunctory nod and gestured for him to sit down first before seating himself. Then Jing Xianzong explained his purpose for coming.

”Uncle, you know I’m not a heartless and ungrateful person, and you’re aware of my relationship with Jing Feng, like brothers. But I have no choice, I’m a businessman, and for a businessman, profits come first.”

Jing Xianzong, a man of his age, was calm and restrained. Having worked in certain fields for many years, he had a powerful presence. Yet, looking at Mu Yichen’s unique personality, he couldn’t help but sigh, lean back against the sofa, and look composedly at the stubborn Mr. Mu.

”Yichen, I know Xiaoqing did some things that made you unhappy. She has accepted your marriage, it’s just that she can’t cope with it emotionally yet. Could you give her some more time, please?”

Jing Xianzong finished the pleasantries before he seriously brought up the actual reason for the visit.

Mu Yichen, too, was quite open. Jing Xianzong wasn’t too bad of a person, he didn’t usually scheme against others, but in the end, he was a member of the Jing Family.

”I understand what you mean. I admit Jing Qing has been quite bothersome lately, but Rongcheng is only so big, and in the real estate market, there is Liu Jingyuan, followed by many other enterprises working in it. I shouldn’t offend all these businessmen just for this little matter, should I?”

”Doing this, has Mayor Qin expressed any opinions?”

Jing Xianzong thought, Qin Haiming couldn’t possibly let Mu Yichen slip away like that. After all, as a mayor of the city, he must contribute to the city’s development. If Mu Yichen were to shift his focus out of Rong City, it would be a significant blow to these so-called city leaders. If they were not careful, they might even lose their positions due to their inability to retain wealth.

”That I wouldn’t know!”

Mu Yichen answered with a slight smile.

Jing Xianzong realized he didn’t care about others’ feelings and knew he was standing up for that woman, so he couldn’t help but nod. What if I send Xiaoqing abroad?

Mu Yichen looked at him. This turn of events was too swift; he was momentarily unable to adjust.

”I’m afraid you can’t make decisions for her.”

”Then I’ll come to you after I’ve made the decision.”

”Uncle, what I want is not for Jing Qing to leave Rongcheng. As long as she stops that habit of stalking my wife, as long as she stops undermining my family.”

Mu Yichen stood up after Jing Xianzong did, this time having a very earnest conversation with Jing Xianzong.

Jing Xianzong looked at him and nodded after hearing him out.

The Jing Family’s house seemed a bit troubled that evening. Jing Qing couldn’t believe it and laughed incredulously when her father suggested she go abroad: Dad, what are you talking about?

”Haven’t you done enough recently?”

”So what? Do nothing? Just let others bully me?”

The old master was unhappy with his son’s words.

Jing Xianzong immediately felt a headache coming on. The old man was too doting on his granddaughter.

As they were having a family dinner meeting, Jing Feng and Helian Hao were also present. Helian Hao felt that the conversation among their family was too amiable. Although they apparently valued peace, inwardly, he was eager for them to come to blows.

It was true the old master doted on his granddaughter, but Jing Xianzong was also too indulgent with his father. Although being filial was admirable, it’s also true that some elders’ bad temperaments are spoiled into them.

When Jing Qing heard the old master defending her, she kept quiet, but just as she was about to eat, she heard Jing Xianzong say: You could stay if you want, but find someone to get engaged to then.
