Wang Lu and Xie Zhuojun looked up at him in astonishment. “Who is it?”

“The heir of Family Jing, the New President of Jingsheng Enterprise, Jing Yichen!”

“That is impossible!”

Wang Lu and Xie Zhuojun shouted together.

“How would Shangguan Ning marry him? Family Jing is never going to accept such a daughter-in-law. She has nothing going for her and even had a broken engagement.”

Wang Lu felt that her husband must have been mistaken. Shangguan Ning was a girl abandoned by their son and the noble Family Jing was definitely not going to accept her. Jing Yichen was a highly positioned and mysterious man. Why would he ever marry an ordinary woman like her?

“I am not mistaken. I once heard my comrade-in-arms mention that all the information of Family Jing is strictly confidential and the heir of each generation has been brought out in this manner. Their information is encrypted at the highest level and is not revealed until he becomes mature. That is why no one is able to find any information of Family Jing at the Public Security Bureau. One of my old comrade-in-arms, who used to be the Director of Public Security Bureau of A City, had gone missing just because he revealed the name of Jing Zhongxiu’s wife after drinking too much.”

Xie Dongfeng sounded defeated. He, who was always stable and calm was trembling slightly and looked extremely pale as well.

“No other family enjoys such highly encrypted status except Family Jing, not even Family Ji! Also, as far as I know, the reason why Ji Minyu stepped down from the position of Mayor and why her road to the provincial level office was cut, was because she had offended Jing Yichen!”

It suddenly became clear to Xie Dongfeng when he thought about it. He stood up abruptly and said in a low voice, “Now I see! Jing Yichen must have made Shangguan Zheng step down as well!”

All the unexplained matters in the past suddenly became quite easy to understand.

They had failed to check into any hotel after they met Shangguan Ning during their trip to N City!

His closest and best comrade-in-arms broke off the relationship with him after Shangguan Ning ruined his son’s wedding.

Family Mu’s Hospital had Jingsheng Enterprise as the strongest backer, so when Shangguan Ning, the lady of Family Jing was offended, the Head of Hospital, Mu Qing refused to meet them and allowed his son’s illness to get worse.

At that moment, Xie Dongfeng collapsed onto the sofa as if his energy had been drained out. He mumbled, “Our Family Xie is going to be ruined and I am a sinner to the ancestors of Family Xie…”

Wang Lu’s heart broke when she saw her husband. She said quickly, “That is impossible, you are just overthinking! We are doing fine right now, and what happened between Shangguan Ning and us is way in the past.”

Xie Dongfeng shook his head bitterly and said hoarsely, “You don’t understand… you will never know how powerful Family Jing is until you get to know them. They are a very cruel family, too. Zhuojun, you have made a terrible mistake! Get ready, find your passport, just go abroad and find a good doctor there. You must never ever come back here again.”

Xie Zhuojun reacted strongly upon hearing the words. “Father!”

How could the situation have become so serious?

Must he live like an exile, so far away from his aging parents?

“Father, I am not going abroad. How can I leave you and mother? They won’t do anything to me. Ning is not that ruthless. I will be fine!”

“Boy, trust me. Go abroad. Family Jing is relatively weaker overseas and you may have an opportunity. After the accident, your mother and I heard the prophecy of a master who said that Shangguan Ning was going to have a good destiny and that you were going to wake up from the coma with her beside you. That was why we tried our best and used all the possible methods to get Shangguan Ning to get engaged with you.”

“Father, that is superstition. I don’t believe in it.” Xie Zhuojun shouted. He kept telling himself that the reason why he woke up was not because of Shangguan Ning. Only in this way would he feel better inside his heart, otherwise he would always feel very guilty towards her.

“No, it is not superstition. Some people can always bring good luck to others because of their nature. If Shangguan Ning had not taken care of you and kept you company, you might never have woken up. You were sick for two years and even your mother and I had lost the confidence. It was she who didn’t give up on you and tried to wake you up with different methods. Master once said that she has a good destiny and will be able to make her husband flourish. Your mother and I didn’t believe that in the beginning but now I do.”

“It has always been us from Family Xie who betrayed Shangguan Ning. She was only 19 years old at that time and was forced into an engagement with you by us and Shangguan Zheng. She took care of you for more than two years, day and night until you finally woke up. But we broke off the engagement with her ruthlessly, right after that. What we have got today is payback. Your mother and I didn’t stop you from breaking the engagement but allowed you to be together with Shangguan Rouxue. We are also responsible for what we have come to happen today and it is our duty to bear the punishment for you. But you are still young and you mustn’t be ruined.”

After hearing what he said, Xie Zhuojun was in tears. He cried, “It is all my fault! I was too greedy and thought that Xue was better than Ning in every single way. I thought that she was a shining star and I wanted to keep her on my side. That was why I insisted on breaking off the engagement. It has nothing to do with you and mother.”

Wang Lu took her son into her arms and cried loudly. “It is all Shangguan Rouxue’s fault. What a bitch! You would never have broken off the engagement with Shangguan Ning had it not been for her.”

The mother and the son whined loudly in each other’s arms. Xie Zhuojun took a long breath and collapsed onto the sofa.

He knew clearly that Shangguan Rouxue was just part of the reason, but if Xie Zhuojun had been stubborn enough, if he had even an iota of shame and gratitude, he would not have done what he did with Shangguan Rouxue, when he was still engaged to Shangguan Ning.

After Wang Lu finished crying, she wiped her tears and said, “Dongfeng, do you really think that it is so serious? I don’t think that Shangguan Ning can be so fierce. She can’t just let our son die. We did have some relationship before.”

“Relationship? “Xie Dongfeng laughed bitterly. “We owe her everything and she owes us nothing, can you think of anything that she owes us?”

Wang Lu was struck by what he said.

Shangguan Ning really didn’t owe them anything after she pondered over the entire matter carefully.

But Wang Lu couldn’t give up so easily. Her son was her everything and she couldn’t live without him.

The following day, Wang Lu asked Xie Zhuojun for Shangguan Ning’s number and called her, wanting to have a meeting with her.

Shangguan Ning picked up the phone and was quite startled for a few seconds upon hearing the voice from the other side of the phone.

She never expected to receive a call from Wang Lu.
