Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Master, Old President and Huang Lihan visited Family Mu’s Hospital yesterday. They had been talking about the project when Ms. Shangguan’s old wound bothered her and she passed out at an apartment sales office. Old President and Huang Lihan visited her at the hospital together.”

Jing Yichen’s heart tightened upon hearing that Shangguan Ning had passed out. He lowered his voice, although his face was still cold and expressionless. “What happened?”– he asked.

Tiger was a single-minded person but he was not silly. He had noticed that Master was treating Ms. Shangguan differently – even Black-red Association’s old nest almost got demolished because of her.

He recounted the entire story in details.

Jing Yichen’s face lost colour after hearing the story.

Why did she go out alone in the freezing winter? She was still acting stubbornly even though she was weak. He had been able to send her to the hospital in time, the last time she fainted in his arms, but who else would be equally attentive like him when she passed out somewhere else!

She made him worry.

“Tiger, get some smart guys and protect her on the sly. Don’t let her know that.”

Jing Yichen had not planned to place anyone to her side. But she always ran into trouble. Besides, Black Wind had not been caught and since the man behind him failed once, he might try again. Black Knife was also crouching and observing on the sly, so the danger was everywhere.

He needed to make sure that she was completely safe and sound.

Shangguan Ning lay in bed for two days before she gained back some energy.

Her belly didn’t hurt much, and the wound on the back of her head, which had still not healed completely, didn’t hurt that much any longer. A couple of days more, and she would be fine.

During these days, she either called for food delivery or ate the frozen dumplings in the fridge. She didn’t dare to cause herself trouble by going out again.

She needed to get herself well. She was going to work on Monday.

However, all of these dishes seemed to be flavorless after she had tasted the dishes made by Jing Yichen.

Jing Yichen, who was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window on the 27th floor, frowned at the sight of the food delivery that entered the compound once again.

A moment later, Tiger pushed the door open and entered. “Master, the delivery is for the 6th floor.”

Sure enough, it was Shangguan Ning’s food delivery again.

Why was she still eating takeout food every day? Her body was in need of nutrition, but home delivered food was simple and roughly made – so strange that she could swallow such food down.

“Tiger, ask the kitchen to make some more dishes and deliver them to the sixth floor. Don’t let her know that it is me.”

Tiger grinned. “Yes, Master!”

Shangguan Ning took over the delivery and paid. Another sound of knocking came when she had just finished half of her food.

She opened the door and was surprised to see that the delivery guy was back!

“Miss, we have campaign today – buy one and get three for free. I forgot to give that to you just now!” The delivery guy looked guilty.

Shangguan Ning took the food box in doubt and thanked him with a smile.

The delivery guy turned around and dashed off immediately. He was quite happy. He had earned a tip of 500 yuan by just giving the food to that woman. It was all worth it!

Shangguan Ning was totally astonished when she went back to the living room and opened the lunch box.

The ingredients for the two dishes and one soup were well selected, with color, scent and flavor all up to the standard. It was definitely not a cheap set at sight. Her delivery cost only 40 yuan, and was it really a fair deal to buy one and get three for free?

She doubted even more.

She tasted the food with hesitation. The feeling of freshness spread all over her tongue and made her eat as quickly as possible. Well, as long as it was tasty!

Hmm, this restaurant had hired an excellent chef,indeed. Almost as excellent as Jing Yichen! Okay, this restaurant would be the selected one from this moment on!

Having finished the tasty food, she started to read the documents of Jingsheng Enterprise immediately. She was going to work the next day and it would always be useful to practice before the work.

When evening came, Shangguan Ning hesitated for a long while before she decided to take a shower.

The doctor had told her not to get her wound wet, otherwise it could get infected easily.

What she had been doing was to clean herself a bit every day. She hadn’t showered properly for an entire week, and she couldn’t just go to the company tomorrow for work in this way.

She touched the wound on the back of her head which had started to heal.The wounds on her body were all healed now, leaving almost invisible scars. Mu Qing’s family medicine was indeed excellent.

Shangguan Ning wrapped the wound on her head with a water-proof bandage, entered the bathroom and showered.

Having finished showering, she dried her hair, put on a sling nightgown and went to bed.

She was dozing when someone knocked at her door.

She got up from the bed, grabbed an overcoat and came to the door as she asked carefully, “Who is it?”

A familiar woman’s voice came from outside the door. “Ning, this is Aunt. I am visiting you with your cousin!”

Shangguan Ning opened the door and looked confused. “Aunt? What are you doing here so late at night?”

She wasn’t imagining this, was she?”

Why were Aunt and Cousin so friendly today that they would come and visit her? Impossible! Aunt and Cousin would never treat her so well even if the world were to end the next day.

Shangguan Ning had seen through this mother and daughter during twenty years of their relationship.

Uncle must have said something causing them to have a change of heart, she thought.

It was never good to slap a smiling face. So, even though they were pretending to be so friendly, she accepted that willingly – as long as Uncle was not stuck in the dilemma. She was also friendly with them.

Lin Yu rushed in to Shangguan Ning’s room and pulled her daughter in with uncomfortable expression. She glanced at everything in Shangguan Ning’s room as hatred attacked the bottom of her heart.

Shangguan Ning didn’t see her Aunt’s expression. She just turned around and made hot tea for them.

Shangguan Ning was still happy to receive them even though they had come because Uncle had forced them to.

Li Yu forced out a smiling face and took the tea cup without drinking it. Instead, she passed the things in her hands and said. “I have brought you some snacks. Try them, quite tasty!”

Shangguan Ning nodded. “Thank you, Aunt! Don’t worry. I am moving out in two days. I will return the apartment to you.” She had thought for a while and decided to tell her aunt about moving out soon.

Lin Yu waved her arms and said in a relatively sharp voice. “I wouldn’t dare to take this apartment. If you report to your Uncle again, he will divorce me ! Me and your cousin have our own place to leave. This outskirts area doesn’t suit us!”

Bah, you little bitch. You shouldn’t be able to live here either if we two can’t!

Huang Xinyi wasn’t as patient and cunning as Lin Yu. She had already gotten quite restless by this moment. She grabbed Lin Yu’s arms and said in annoyance, “Mom, it is midnight! I want to go home! It smells so bad here and I feel dizzy!”

She hated Shangguan Ning so much. She hadn’t taken the revenge for removing her arm, and her mother still wanted her to put on a smiling face. It was killing her!

Lin Yu was aware of her daughter’s hatred. But they were not here to talk about the past with Shangguan Ning. They had come to put on a show.

However, they had reached their goal, and there was no need to stay on any further. She spoke to her daughter with fondness. “Okay, okay, you are the boss. Let’s go home, now!”

They talked and left, leaving Shangguan Ning alone, without even saying goodbye.
