Chapter 275: Wife Selection for Jing Yiran (Part One)

“Because you are making a mistake that mustn’t be made. I have warned you many times not to pick on Ning, but you disobey me and keep doing it.”

“You can fight with Yichen however much you like. I won’t defend either of you however much you bleed. But you are not allowed to touch Ning. She is not from the same world as you two and she is not strong enough to protect herself. She doesn’t have a vicious heart, either. If you ever touch her again, I will appoint a wife to you as a punishment and I will even set the wedding date for you.”

Jing Yiran was startled.

Would he really be given this serious consequence if he picked on Shangguan Ning? Was the cost his lifetime happiness?

He admitted that he had feelings for Shangguan Ning. At the beginning, he only wanted to get Jing Yichen’s woman and plan to make him taste what failure felt like. But later, he realized that Shangguan Ning couldn’t be taken away, and discovered the merits and special characteristics of this woman. Now, that he not only wanted to rob her from his brother for fun, but because he wanted her for himself.

He didn’t want to get married.

“Dad, I won’t marry anyone. I am not picking on Shangguan Ning, I just like to talk with her. I promise never to badger her any more or pick on her, please, don’t make me marry someone whom I don’t love. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life in this way…”

Jing Yiran started to plead. He understood that Jing Zhongxiu liked to be treated with softness rather than the defiant way. Pleading might even make him change his mind.

Without hesitation, Jing Zhongxiu snapped, “No. I will find some women of proper age. They will have excellent looks and etiquettes. You can pick any one from them. That is the deal, you will start to get ready for the wedding after you have healed.”

Having said the words, he left without hesitation, leaving Jing Yiran alone in the room.

This was totally unanticipated.

Jing Yiran had never expected that Jing Zhongxiu would have thought of such a method.

It seemed impossible to change his decision.

Jing Yiran laid down in distress. Pain in the chest made him dizzy.

Unlike some wealthy men who didn’t pay much attention to marriage, Jing Yiran really thought that marriage was very important.

Because he had been seeing the unfortunate marriage of his parents. His mother married his father through the nastiest means and had no position in Family Jing whilst he himself had not been given any fatherly love which he deserved.

He hoped that his child could live in a happy family and that he could have a wife whom he loved. He didn’t want to be like his parents who were just a couple of strangers, never talking with each other, let alone sharing the bed.

Jing Zhongxiu was well aware of Jing Yiran’s unwillingness. But his mind couldn’t be swayed.

It was necessary for him to find a proper wife for Jing Yiran. He was different from Jing Yichen who couldn’t bear being touched by anyone. Before he met Shangguan Ning, anyone who touched him would make him react strongly and vomit terribly. Jing Yiran, however, had no such issues. He had an interest in all kinds of women and enjoyed fooling around with strangers. Therefore, it was not a problem that he married a woman not known to him.

Jing Zhongxiu wouldn’t go out to seek for the girl himself. What he needed was a kind and virtuous daughter-in-law and handed over the task to Jing Yichen.

After receiving Jing Zhongxiu’s call, Jing Yichen asked his men to find a proper girl among the families that were attached to Family Jing.

Jing Yichen wouldn’t cause trouble in this matter, because Jing Yiran’s wife would also be the face of Family Jing and she shouldn’t be bad. What was more, Jing Zhongxiu needed to go through all the selected ones after the first round was finished.

None of the families that were attached to Family Jing were powerful, because the powerful ones often chose to develop independently rather than get attached to any family.

Therefore, even if there was a family behind Jing Yiran, there wouldn’t be too much threat attached alongwith.

Jing Yichen didn’t care much about the family background. What he cared about was the lady herself..

It didn’t matter what kind of girls Jing Yiran liked, because Jing Yichen wouldn’t pick one according to his interest. What he needed to make sure was that the girl was a lady with virtues, one that was not going to blacken Family Jing’s name or betray Family Jing.

Two days later, a thick pile of documents about probable girls was lying on Jing Yichen’s desk. The documents showcased every girl’s background history, hobbies, relationship history, educational experience, family environment and parents’ details.

By now, it was time for Jing Yichen to take the pills. Shangguan Ning walked into the study with two boxes of pills as well as a mug of warm water.

She opened the door and realized that Jing Yichen wasn’t in the study.

“Yichen?” Shangguan Ning shouted. No reply came back. She came to the desk and put down the water and the pills onto the desk and mumbled, “Where is he?”

Jing Yichen was at home a minute ago, but he might have just gone out because something came up. So Shangguan Ning sat down on the chair and waited for him.

The pile of documents on the table attracted her sight.

The documents held information about the daughters of famous and wealthy families of A City. She recognized a few of them.

She didn’t understand why Jing Yichen was collecting the documents of these girls, but she didn’t doubt him. Even if these had been photos of naked girls, Shangguan Ning would not have spared a thought to them because she knew Jing Yichen well, and he couldn’t possibly like any other girl apart from her. She trusted him completely.

By the time she went through all the documents, Jing Yichen was back.

A bitter smile came on his face when he saw the water and pills which Ning had brought.

He was furious inside his heart at the sight of the pills. Why did he have such a disease? It was so demeaning for a man. He had wanted to show the most powerful side of himself in front of his beloved wife but ended up having to take such medicine.

Shangguan Ning scrunched her nose at him and then knocked at the mug with her fingers.

Jing Yichen picked up the mug, took the pills and swallowed them with water.

“These are all the pills right?” He wasn’t scared of these pills, but Jing Yichen was never happy to take them.

Shangguan Ning said in a clear voice, “Yeah, that’s all you need to take now. We have to go to Family Mu’s Hospital tomorrow. Mu Qing says that we are due for a checkup.”

Jing Yichen nodded helplessly. He hadn’t wanted to go but knew clearly that he must go.
