Cooperation

Old Master Jing nodded tacitly. "That's right! How can we let it go? They are juniors, but they dare to come to harass you! Where did they find the courage?! Don't worry, I'll definitely teach them a lesson when I get back!"1

Auntie Lan rolled her eyes at him, but she didn't say anything to refute him this time.

Old Master Jing couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief inwardly.

Auntie Lan pulled my hand. "Nanxing, it's true that trouble can come at any time. We didn't know anything when you and Jing Tian were in trouble. We thought you and Jing Tian were still on vacation!

"But suddenly, the Jing Family's eldest son and his wife came with people from the Jing family. They said my Jing Tian and the old man had died. The Jing Family wanted to cut ties with me. They demanded I move out and return the Jing family's property to them!"

Auntie Lan felt sorrowful and started to cry again. Old Master Jing was livid when he heard about this.

I quickly comforted Auntie Lan. "I did send someone back to protect you, but there's a timezone difference. Did they hurt you, Auntie Lan?"

Auntie Lan shook her head. "Previously, they insisted that I go back to the Jing Family to be the mistress of the house. They said they needed me. After I rejected them, I didn't want to see these people anymore. I didn't have anything to say to them.

"So, when they came this time, I was prepared. I refused to see them. I closed the door. Bai Rui and I isolated ourselves. We were worried about you all, but there was no news at all.

"Then, the Jing Family actually sent people to try to kidnap Bai Rui and me! Thankfully, your people came on time. We were saved, and they didn't get to take us away. If they succeeded, they would have more to leverage over you! They are so evil!"

Auntie Lan glared at the old man. The veins on the old master's hands popped.

Even though I had figured out their intentions, I couldn't help but be shocked when I heard they wanted to hurt Auntie Lan and Auntie Bai Rui. "They are horrid. They want to do everything to kill Jing Tian!"

Auntie Lan nodded. She said tearfully, "My Jing Tian knew his place since he was young. He never fought for the Jing Family inheritance. He came to power on his own. He assumed the others would let him be. However, that only made those people be even crueler to him. They are now targeting his mother and fiance! They want him to die! Tell me, why should we stay in this house? We should move!"

The old master frowned in pain.

I patted Auntie Lan, "Auntie Lan, this is Jing Tian and your house. Jing Tian bought every single brick, tile, furniture of this place. You are staying here because Jing Tian invited you to. What does that have to do with the Jing Family?

"Furthermore, if you leave, it'll only make things easier for those people. They want you to move far away with Jing Tian so that they can do anything they want. How hard do you think it'll be for them to control an old man? If it weren't for Jing Tian, they would have sucked the old master's blood dry long ago. Auntie Lan, we shouldn't give them the satisfaction, don't you agree?"

Auntie Lan stopped talking.

The old master covered his eyes with his hand and lamented, "Woe is me! I'm old, and my children and grandchildren want me dead, and my wife is going to abandon me. No one wants me!"

I really wanted to clap my hands for Old Master Jing. He was such a dramatic actor!
