C10 Mothers' Inheritance

Jing Xiaoya's face stiffened and her eyes revealed a trace of grievance.

"Sister, how could you say that?"

Yu Xiulian also fake a smile and said, "Jing Ning, there's no bad intention from your sister, so why don't both of you have a chat? Talk it out, if you have any misunderstandings. After all, we're a family."

"Family? I'm sorry! Other than both of you, every one else can be my family."

Besides, my mother only gave birth to a daughter which is me. When did I have a younger sister? Please don't self-proclaimed that you're my sister, can you? Aren't you afraid that my mom will haunt you today tonight?!"

"Ah!"

Jing Xiaoya was shocked from her cold and fierce look, screaming as she hid in Yu Xiulian's arms.

At this moment, a roaring voice sounded from the stairs.

"Jing Ning!"

Jing Ning lifted up her head and saw Wang Xuemei walking down from the stairs with a crutch.

Although old madame had aged, she was still hale and hearty, also her eyes were sharp. At this moment, with her gloomy face, she emitted a terrifying aura within her.

Jing Ning, on the other hand, was not afraid of her. She just stood there coldly, staring at the old madame with an indifferent gaze.

Wang Xuemei hated that look the most, being proud and stubborn, just like her dead mother. It was as if she was born with pride, looking down on everyone.

She snapped coldly, "What did you just say?"

Jing Ning did not bother to respond because she felt that when they had argued over the same things for too many times, there was no point to talk about it anymore.

A few years ago, she would have quarreled with them over her mother.

But now she knew that none of the people in this house cared about her mother, so she did not even bother to argue with them anymore.

Wang Xuemei saw that she remained silent and took it as she was afraid of her. Only then did her expression ease up slightly.

Looking at Jing Xiaoya who was curled up in Yu Xiulian's embrace, that delicate little face looked like a frightened deer gazing at her pitifully, she could not help but become slightly gentler.

"Enough! Since you're back, let's not talk about the past anymore. Head to the dining room for dinner."

With that, she went to the dining room.

Jing Ning frowned yet followed behind her.

"Jing Ning, I knew you're coming back, so I specially asked Mrs Zhang to cook all your favorite dishes. Try some and see whether you like it or not."

As soon as the dishes were served, Yu Xiulian diligently put the food in her bowl.

Jing Ning endured the disgust within her, neither moved her chopsticks, nor answered her.

Jing Xiaode stared at her behaving indifferently and instantly became mad.

"Do you feel grievance? Aunt Lian is your elders. Don't you know how to thank her for putting food into your bowl?"

Jing Ning still remained silent.

Even if she did not want to quarrel with her, there was no way she could be nice to a woman who had killed her mother and ate at the same table with her.

She put her chopsticks down and said in a cold voice, "No need! I'm not hungry and I don't feel like eating. Why did you call me back today? Let's get straight to the point!"

Wang Xuemei stared at her with a pair of bright eyes.

This time, she did not get mad, but only said in a deep voice, "It seems that you have resentment towards this family uh? Well, if you don't want to eat, no one will force you to. And today, I've called you back today just to inform you.

The day after tomorrow will be your sister's birthday, and we'll hold a birthday banquet for her at home. Besides, we've already discussed with Moo Family that we'll be announcing their relationship during the banquet, and you'll have to attend too.

If anyone asks regarding the engagement, you'll have to say that your sister is the one engaged to Moo Yanze. It's for your own good too. Since both of you have already broken up, then it's time for you to put him down."

Jing Ning stared at her in disbelief.

She never would have thought that they would try so hard to call her back just for this matter.

She looked at Wang Xuemei for some time before she chuckled mockingly.

"What you've meant is to make me their shield? Be a stepping stone for them to announce their relationship?"

Wang Xuemei's face sunk and her eyes revealed a hint of displeasure, "What are you talking about? This is not only for your sister but for your own good too!"

She paused, then added, "You're a girl after all, and you're going to get married in the future too. It's not a good thing if others found out that you've been abandoned by your ex-fiance."

"What if I refuse?"

"You'll have to agree even if you don't want to! I've made up my mind, so it's not up to you to decide!"

"What if I refuse to attend?"

Wang Xuemei smiled coldly and swept a glance at her that filled a trace of ridicule and contempt.

"You will attend unless you don't want the things your mother left behind anymore."

The dining room instantly filled with a void of silence, one could even hear the sound of a pin dropping on the ground.

Jing Ning suddenly stood up from her chair.

Her face turned ashen as she stared at the old madame with her eyes that had frozen over like the surface of a winter puddle.

Only after sometime, she let out a cold laughter.

"Alright! Well done! You can threaten me for now, but you can't threaten me for life!"

"Being able to threaten you for now is already enough."

Wang Xuemei did not seem to notice her anger and calmly put down her chopsticks.

"Eight o'clock at night the day after tomorrow at Dijue Hotel, don't be late."

...

When Jing Ning came out of the Jing Family Courtyard, it was already eight o'clock at night.

Although the autumn wind was chilling, it was unable to extinguish the fire within her.

She had always known that Wang Xuemei was biased toward Jing Xiaoya, but she did not know that she could be biased toward her to this extent.

She did not even be bothered to put on an act like a grandmother and directly threatened her with her mother's inheritance, letting Jing Xiaoya step on her to ascend to the throne.

It was ridiculous just by thinking about it!

Jing Ning stood by the side of the road and finally calmed own after a while.

Before her mother Mo Caiwei got into an accident, she had asked a lawyer to make a will.

The contents of the will were very simple. Since she had a safe in the bank, if one day she suddenly passed away, everything in the safe would belong to Jing Ning.

The only condition was that she had to wait until after she got married to receive the inheritance, and before that, the lawyer-in-charge would taking care of it for her.

Jing Ning did not understand the intention of her mother making such a will, and also did not know what was in the safe.

It was just that in these past few years, Jing Family had tried many ways to make her give up on the inheritance.

Naturally, she was unwilling to. Not to mention the value of the things in there, just because it was the items that her mother left for her, she would not allow those items to fall into the others' hands.

However, with that, it only made her doubt that the inheritance was not as simple as she thought it was.

Otherwise, with the Jing Family's current wealth, they would not want it.

As she was in the middle of her thought, a black Audi drove past her and stopped in front of the Jing Family's gate.

Jing Ning was in a trance for a moment and the next second, she heard a familiar male voice.

"Jing Ning? What are you doing here?"

Jing Ning turned her head towards Moo Yanze who just got out of the car. He was dressed in a dark blue Armani suit that made him look tall and high-spirited.

She smirked mockingly and said, "Young Master Moo must be so busy that you've forgotten my last name."

Moo Yanze was stunned for a while and his face stiffened.

Of course, he would not forget that Jing Ning was one of the member of Jing Family, besides, this was her home too.

It was just that she had severed her relationship with Jing Family all these years and had never returned. Naturally, he would be surprised to see her here today.
