Dating My Scumbag Ex's Uncle

Chapter 325: Jinx

Translator: Lonelytree

Mai Qi and I looked at each other. Ye Qian always knew the right thing to do at the right time.

Her suggestion was calculated. What Old Master Jing wanted to do now was call his secretary to find out the truth. But based on what we heard, the secretary had been bought already. He would only feed Old Master Jing what Jing Ning wanted the old man to know.

Jing Ni didn’t give Ye Qian face. She said plainly, “Miss Ye Qian, do you plan to chase us away so that Grandpa can call his secretary to verify the authenticity of my claims?” Jing Ni smiled at Old Master Jing, “Grandpa, you are more experienced than Jing Ni is. I am sure you already know who is telling you the truth. There is no need for us juniors to ramble about.”

Jing Ni’s eyes scanned Jing Ning and Jing Yan. “But eldest brother and eldest sister, please understand something. Do you know why I didn’t do anything even though I knew you tried to harm me? Because I still appreciate Grandpa and 7th uncle, and I am a member of the Jing family! Otherwise, your fate might not be worse than Shi Feng!”

Jing Ning was fine, but Jing Yan shivered.

If not for these people, Mai Qi and I would have jumped to cheer for Jing Ni. She had changed a lot. Her retaliation was sharp, accurate, and ruthless.

This was probably the first time Ye Qian and Gu Yan were stumped, and it was because of Jing Ni, the girl they looked down on the most.

Old Master Jing’s face became very gloomy. He looked at Jing Ni. “You still remember you are a member of the Jing family, good. If I find out you’ve lied to me, don’t blame me. It doesn’t matter who you’ve allied yourself to in this family. It will be useless!”

This old fart! His favoritism was so obvious that I wanted to say something.

But Jing Ni only smiled sadly, “Grandpa, don’t you worry. My mom and I will stay away from 7th uncle. We will not drag him down. Even after Grandpa finds out the truth, Jing Ni doesn’t really want to seek justice. Since my dad passed away, justice already meant nothing to my mom and me. All we ever wanted is to have a peaceful life.”

Well said, Jing Ni! Old Master Jing could play favorite all he wanted. Jing Ni didn’t need him to seek justice for her anyway!

Old Master Jing glanced at Jing Ning. This time, Jing Ning didn’t even dare to make a sound.

Jing Ning was not stupid. He knew that they had lost this time. The thing he needed to do now was to find out if Jing Ni had anything on Shi Feng that she could use against them.

“Jing Ni is here?” A melodious voice rang out from upstairs.

Following the sound of light footsteps, Auntie Lan landed at Jing Ni’s side like a gust of wind. She grabbed Jing Ni’s hand and said, “What nonsense is it that I hear you are going to stay away from your 7th uncle, and you’re not going to drag him down? What happened? If something happens, you have to tell your 7th uncle! You are not going to drag him down, and you can depend on him. He’s your 7th uncle! He should help you resolve any problem. This is because he has always been biased towards you and your mother!

“Favoritism and bias are a disease that cannot be cured. Do you know why your 7th uncle cares so much about you? It is because your dad was kindest towards him when he was alive! Jing Tian still remembers everything your dad did for him. Therefore, don’t be afraid of coming to your 7th uncle. If there’s anything, your 7th uncle will take care of it. Don’t go looking for some old fools to help you. It’s pointless! Like I said, favoritism is an illness. There’s no cure!”

Then Auntie Lan cast a glance at Old Master Jing.

The gloom on Old Master Jing’s face immediately disappeared. He muttered rather weakly, “What favoritism, there is no such thing.”

Auntie Lan ignored him. “Girl, I’ve already told your mother to move here to accompany me.. I was tricked by someone to come back to M City, but my husband doesn’t care about me, and my son is always so busy. If you and your mother don’t come to accompany me, how am I supposed to pass my day? I’m such a pitiful woman!”
