Jing family.
In the spacious and bright room, there are several valuable paintings, calligraphy and landscape paintings hanging on the wall. The main hall of the house is decorated with antique furniture.
On the mahogany tea table, the purple clay pot exudes an elegant and noble atmosphere. Next to the teapot are several tea cups, and the cups are slowly steaming. The aroma of tea filled the whole room, refreshing.
This should be a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, but the air is so quiet that it makes people feel panicked.
After a long while, a dry hand touched the tea cup.
Mr. Jing is sitting on a chair in the middle of the hall. He is wearing a gray Tang suit that is so simple and simple that there is no trace of embroidery. Even so, he still looked energetic. Cloudy eyes and a head full of white hair failed to weaken his aura, but instead added to his intimidation. Just sitting without saying a word can make people feel overwhelming pressure.
As time passed, the steam coming out of the cup became less and less. The few Jing family descendants beside him didn't even dare to breathe, let alone Jing Hao, who directly bore his sharp gaze.
Mr. Jing slowly brought the tea cup to his mouth. Before he could drink it, the cup clattered on the table, and everyone was shocked.
The old man looked serious: "Jing Hao, what did you do behind your back?"
He knows his grandson well, is petty and vindictive, and likes to do evil things behind his back. The last time he bowed to Mu Mingcheng, he must have regarded it as a great shame and humiliation, so it was not surprising that he would retaliate in return.
But, is Mu Mingchen someone you can take revenge on? The Mu family has been entrenched in country Z for hundreds of years and has deep roots. With the strength of the Jing family, how can it be uprooted overnight
I originally thought that Jing Hao had a smooth journey and never suffered any hardships, but he just got a little confused when it came to women. If you see someone outside, it would be good to put some pressure on him and stimulate him to change his bad habits.
Unexpectedly, the direct stimulation made him completely dizzy.
"Grandpa," Jing Hao stood opposite him respectfully and said expressionlessly, "I really haven't done anything."
Jing Hao was deeply unconvinced about Mu Mingcheng. Especially after the banquet that day, he found that Cheng Xin's eyes would always follow Mu Mingcheng unconsciously, and even he would have to step back.
After several rounds of questioning, Cheng Xin finally told the truth. She said that Mu Mingcheng was her dream when she was young.
Jing Hao's heart froze when he heard the words forced from his lover's mouth. He never expected that Cheng Xin and Mu Mingcheng would have such a relationship.
When she first chased him, Cheng Xin was so enthusiastic, sincere and unyielding. His long-lost heart was finally moved, and he decided to drink only one gourdful of water.
Now that Jing Hao knew everything, he almost escaped from the nest he and Cheng Xinai had built. He forced himself to turn a blind eye to Cheng Xin's resentful and sad eyes behind him.
Maybe they all need time to calm down.
Because of this, Jing Hao disliked Mu Mingcheng even more. It’s okay if he is not as good as him in career, the woman he loves also had a crush on him. Jing Hao and Mu Mingcheng are not only business rivals, but also love rivals. They are destined to die or live!
But no matter how much he hates Mu Mingcheng in his heart, he will not provoke him again when he is not strong enough.
"Ha," Mr. Jing snorted coldly and sneered, "Do you mean to say that Mu Mingcheng waited for a few days and came back to take revenge?"
Isn't it embarrassing for a dignified CEO of a company involved in all walks of life to settle accounts after the fall
Jing Hao heard the sarcasm in the old man's words, his face changed slightly, and he sneered: "He is just a villain, there is nothing he can't do." The sourness in his words almost reached the sky.
"Shut up," Mr. Jing scolded angrily, "Are your eyes covered with shit?"
In excitement, Mr. Jing couldn't help but cursed. He didn't know where his good manners for decades had been lost.
He looked at his grandson who had taught him everything and was disappointed. Mu Mingcheng had the ability to catch them off guard in just a few days, which showed his personal ability.
Men can be ruthless, but they must not be petty. Jing Hao's judgment is so easily affected by personal feelings, how can he trust the huge Jing family to him
Seeing Jing Hao being reprimanded, the other descendants of the Jing family all showed gloating smiles. For many years, Mr. Jing only saw Jing Hao. They are not allowed to get involved in any of the Jing family's property. After being suppressed by Jing Hao for so long, now was their rare chance to make a comeback, and several of them were already eager to try.
The old man's words made Jing Hao's face livid, and his gloomy eyes slowly swept around, and the group of people who were watching the show were stunned.
Years of psychological oppression formed a conditioned reflex, making them involuntarily succumb to Jing Hao's momentum.
When Mr. Jing saw this, he sighed in his heart, where is there any good mud at home that can support the wall
"I did not provoke Mu Mingcheng," Jing Hao looked away and said with a straight face, "Now he is unwilling to let us go."
"I know." After closing his eyes, Mr. Jing didn't know whether he believed it or not. He obviously didn't want to say more, "That girl from the Cheng family, you'd better break it off. Hasn't the young lady from the Li family always had a crush on you? You Have a good relationship with her and get engaged as soon as possible."
Rabbits will bite when they are anxious, and the Jing family is not a nouveau riche without any foundation. Since Mu Mingcheng is unwilling to shake hands and make peace, and targets the Jing family for no reason, then what's the harm in having a fight
The Li family is one of the top wealthy families in the imperial capital. His family has been passed down alone for several generations. In this generation, he only gave birth to one daughter. To get engaged to the Li family, the Li family must join their boat.
By then, it is still unclear who will win and who will lose.
Hearing this, Jing Hao moved his lips, but did not say anything to refute.
The Jing family's situation is very dangerous. Outsiders are waiting to see the good show. Who is willing to help? Marrying with the Li family is the best choice.
Jingruo, who was hiding outside the door, bit her lips silently when she heard what the people inside said. Especially when she heard the old man scolding Jing Hao sternly, she felt so guilty that she almost rushed out to tell the truth.
But she can't. Outsiders say that she is favored and is the little princess of the Jing family.
Little did he know that she was just a pet raised by Mr. Jing, an object of marriage. All the fame that spreads out is to increase the weight of the marriage.
Maybe there is some sincerity in that favor, but in front of the family, it can be forgotten.
On the day of the banquet, she hid in a corner and witnessed the whole process of her eldest brother being bullied by the man and woman.
In Jing Ruo's memory, her eldest brother, Jing Hao, the heir to the Jing family, had always been a proud man of heaven, shining brightly. When had he ever humbled anyone and begged for forgiveness
Even if he couldn't afford to offend that person, he couldn't.
What makes her even more sad is that he was humiliated because he was protecting other women.
How can Jing Ruo, who has been secretly in love with Jing Hao for nearly ten years and has turned this into an obsession, endure this
Therefore, she resolutely found a powerful friend in her family whom she met while studying abroad. This friend admired Eastern culture and once confessed his love to her, but she rejected him.
Through this person's matchmaking, Jing Ruo met K, who ranked high on the killer list. She had heard from her friends about K's abilities, his neat methods of performing tasks, and his mysterious whereabouts. In short, after the mission is completed, no one will find out about her.
Just kill anyone who makes Big Brother unhappy. Mu Mingcheng, Gu Jin, and Cheng Xin, none of them can escape.
Cheng Xin, a bitch, seduced her elder brother and dared to do so half-heartedly. It would be too easy for her to kill her directly, so he should use a knife to cut off her flesh one by one and torture her slowly. Moreover, doesn’t Cheng Xin like men to surround her? This wish will be fulfilled for her.
As for the remaining two people, Mu Mingcheng was too cautious, and his whereabouts were secretive on weekdays. Even the car he took when going out had been specially modified, making it difficult to take action. Gu Jin's whereabouts are easy to control, but it will be more difficult to kill his woman after Mu Mingcheng is on guard.
Jing Ruo refused to give in under the pressure and let K lie dormant, waiting for the opportunity quietly.
At this moment, the legendary eldest son of the Xu family somehow learned of her plan, came to her door and asked for cooperation, and provided Mu Mingcheng with his recent travel plans to Country Y. It was learned from above that Gu Jin would also go with him.
All the wealthy families in the imperial capital knew that the Mu family and the Xu family were related by marriage. One family is engaged in business and the other is engaged in politics. It can be said to be the most perfect example of the integration of government and business. It is rumored that the old man of the Xu family who has fought in the country is very fond of his grandson Mu Mingcheng.
Although I am surprised that the relationship between their cousins is not harmonious, but if you think about it carefully, a group of brothers with the same surname in the Jing family are fighting to the death for the family property, let alone their cousins of the opposite sex
It would be best to kill two people at the same time, Jing Ruo happily agreed.
However, what dissatisfied her was that Xu Chenghui, a big man who was softer than women, actually said that after all, there was no need to kill Mu Mingcheng and Gu Jin because they were brothers. What a joke, even the itinerary was handed to her, how could she pretend to be brotherly
But she didn't expect that K didn't completely kill Mu Mingcheng. He didn't even kill Gu Jin. He also took away half of her advance payment and lost contact with him since then.
She was blaming herself when she suddenly heard that the old man asked Jing Hao to pursue Miss Li's family and marry her. Like a bolt from the blue, Jing Ruo secretly clenched her hands, dark eyes welling up in those eyes that should have been pure and clear.

Gu Jin didn't even know about the bloody turmoil in the outside world.
She was holding a wet towel, preparing to wipe the body of Mu Mingcheng, who was lying on the bed and was extremely hot, according to the doctor's instructions.
The incident dates back to yesterday. Mu Mingcheng was about to recover when he accidentally let water seep into the gauze while taking a bath, causing wound infection and high fever. It wasn't until Gu Jin knocked on the door in the morning that he realized something was wrong. By then, his consciousness was already blurred.
Gu Jin quickly called Assistant Fang, who quickly brought a young Western doctor in a white coat.
Recalling the scene where the doctor expertly cleaned Mu Mingcheng's wounds and prescribed medicine, Assistant Fang drove away the servants in the villa and winked at her and placed his trust in her, Gu Jin couldn't help but raise his forehead.
Turning his eyes to the bed again, Mu Mingcheng closed his eyes tightly, and a sickly flush appeared on Qingjun's face. Under the light quilt, another layer of sweat formed on the body.
Gu Jin sighed and opened a small crack in the quilt...
