Chapter 469 - Sixth Master Warns, Hitting on Me? Life-threatening

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The moment the Jing family member said that Miss He was here, Fu Chen said, “She’s finally come to your house.”

Previously, Jing Hanchuan had said that if she had the ability, she could come to the Jing residence to look for him. He didn’t expect He Shiqing to really come today. Her courage was commendable.

Fu Chen’s tone had a hint of mockery. He was clearly watching a show.

Song Fengwan was stunned and looked at Fu Chen. “Which Miss He?” After all, the He family had two young ladies.

“He Shiqing,” Fu Chen replied.

Song Fengwan blinked in surprise. She looked at Fu Chen and then sized up Jing Hanchuan, who was sitting on the sofa. “She… likes…” No matter how she looked at it, they didn’t match. It was really difficult for her to link these two people together.

But… the two sisters of the He family really had big appetites. One wanted to woo her cousin, and the other was pursuing Sixth Master Jing.

“Did she say anything?” Jing Hanchuan narrowed his eyes at the fish tank beside his hand. There were a few goldfish in it. They were white and had red tails, looking exceptionally beautiful.

He Shiqing wasn’t a fool. If she didn’t have a valid reason, she wouldn’t come easily.

“She said that the He family is holding a filiation banquet in the near future. They want to invite you over, so she specially came to send you an invitation. She’s already waiting at the door.”

“Filiation banquet?” Jing Hanchuan looked at Fu Chen. “Miss Yu is going back?”

“I don’t know.”

“Aren’t you family now? Now that the He family is sending invitations with such fanfare, it’s most likely because Miss Yu said something. But as her uncle, you actually don’t know?”

“She’s just my niece-in-law, not my wife,” Fu Chen said matter-of-factly.

Yu Manxi was Fu Sinian’s wife to begin with, so Fu Chen naturally didn’t pay much attention to her. Moreover, he had already automatically blocked the recent situation of these two people.

Ever since the two of them started renovations on their home and moved to the old residence, Old Madam Fu had found someone to accompany her and didn’t even call her son. What else could he say?

Jing Hanchuan smiled without saying anything.

They had a legitimate and notarized relationship as a married couple, so they probably flaunted their affection a lot. Although Fu Sinian didn’t talk much, he was also outwardly cold but inwardly passionate. He would definitely show off his affection and ‘take revenge’ on Fu Chen.

“She’s outside now. You’re not letting her in?” Fu Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at him mockingly.

“Who said that I would let her in just because she’s here.”

“She’s already sent herself to your door to woo you, yet you’re still unwilling?”

Jing Hanchuan gritted his teeth, wishing he could kick him out of his house right now.

“He Shiqing likes Sixth Master?” Song Fengwan was curious. She had been in the capital for a while, but she had never heard of this.

“Yes, she’s been pursuing him for a long time. In order to get close to him, this Miss He has also put in a lot of effort.”

Jing Hanchuan’s face darkened even more. If it wasn’t for your eldest nephew, how could I have been targeted by He Shiqing? You really have the cheek to say that.

***

At this moment, He Shiqing had already been waiting at the door for more than ten minutes.

The Jing residence was not in the downtown area, so the surroundings were empty and quiet. There was only the strong cold wind blowing against her face. As she breathed, the chill of the winter wind drilled into her lungs. Her lips were already purple from the cold.

In order to show her sincerity, she had gotten out of the car and paid a visit personally. Since she had gotten out of the car, the Jing family members had been accompanying her. She was too embarrassed to sit in the car again and could only wait at the door.

It wasn’t easy for her to find a reason to visit the Jing family, so she naturally had to show her full sincerity. She had specially dressed up, and feeling that her down jacket was bloated, she wore a woolen coat.

In the cold wind, she was already shivering.

But the man who said that he would enter to report had already taken more than ten minutes, but there was still no sign of anyone.

“Eldest Miss, why don’t you wait in the car?” the driver reminded.

The capital was located in the north. It was dry and cold in winter, and the cold wind was raging. It sounded like the wailing of ghosts and howling of wolves, making people feel uneasy.

The grass and plants at the front of the Jing residence were withered, and this place looked desolate.

The brick wall that spanned a few kilometers had surveillance cameras mounted on it, and there was even electric barbed wire. The security was tight. If people didn’t go through the main door, even a fly wouldn’t be able to fly in.

“Yes, Miss He. Please get in your car first.” The Jing family member smiled.

“No need.” He Shiqing was born quite well. A weak woman had been blown by the cold wind at the door for so long. She didn’t believe that Jing Hanchuan was really so hard-hearted.

But after she said this, more than ten minutes passed, and still no one came out.

It wasn’t an hour later that someone ran over. “Miss He, I’m really sorry. Sixth Master was taking a nap just now, so we didn’t dare to disturb him.”

Taking a nap? At this moment, He Shiqing was so cold that her teeth were chattering. If he was napping, why didn’t they say so earlier? Why did they make me wait so long before telling me?

“Then, now I…”

“Sixth Master just got up, so it’s not convenient for him to see guests. He said that since you want to invite him to the He family’s banquet, you can just leave the invitation card here. He will go if he’s free.”

He Shiqing was dumbfounded.

She thought that after she had waited for so long, even if Jing Hanchuan didn’t give her a good attitude, he would at least let her in. But up until now, she hadn’t even stepped into the Jing residence, let alone drink a cup of hot tea.

“Miss He, please give us the invitation card. We will pass it to Sixth Master,” the Jing family member repeated.

He Shiqing squeezed out a smile from the corner of her lips. “I think it’s more sincere to hand it to Sixth Master personally. Besides, I have some things I want to say to Sixth Master in person, and it might not be convenient to relay them.”

She was already here. If she didn’t even see Jing Hanchuan, she would really be furious.

“Miss He, Sixth Master said that it’s inconvenient to see guests.”

He Shiqing was furious. It wasn’t like their house didn’t have any guests at the moment. Why was it inconvenient to meet her? But she couldn’t expose this and say that she knew that the Jing family had guests.

Otherwise, if the Jing family knew, she would probably die.

He Shiqing had no choice but to take out the invitation card and hand it over. “Sorry to trouble you. Sorry to disturb you for so long.”

The Jing family member didn’t say anything. He accepted the invitation card and directly closed the door.

Bang! The red metal door slammed shut, and the loud sound completely cut her off.

He Shiqing’s fingers in her sleeves tightened. She had never been rejected so many times in her life, but she had been rejected by Jing Hanchuan time and time again.

Sometimes, people were cheap. The more they couldn’t get something, the more they wanted it.

He Shiqing was the same. She didn’t believe that she couldn’t conquer Jing Hanchuan.

After she got into her car and left, she sent many more invitations. When she returned home, she received a call. “Hello, Mom.”

“Shiqing, hasn’t always He Qiang been helping you? He was lying at the door of our house, and his entire body was frozen. He looked like he was about to die.” Zou Li’s voice was very anxious. She was obviously frightened.

“He Qiang? At the door?” He Shiqing raised her eyebrows. This was the person she had sent to monitor Jing Hanchuan.

“He’s already been sent to the city hospital. He said he accidentally fell into the water. He’s really unlucky. How did he get home? He’s already been rescued. This person is yours, so you should go there.”

“Fell into the water?” He Shiqing’s heart skipped a beat. She asked the driver to turn the car around and go to the hospital.

When she arrived at the hospital, He Qiang was lying on the hospital bed, on his last breath. His lips were purple, and his entire body was stiff from the cold. There were even wounds of various sizes.

The He family had sent someone to send him here. Those who could be in charge had naturally not been here.

“He was already on his last breath when he was delivered. Fortunately, his physical fitness is good. Otherwise, he would have frozen to death long ago,” the doctor in charge explained.

“His body…” He Shiqing frowned.

“He must have been cut by something around him when he fell into the water. He also said that he fell into the water accidentally.” When He Qiang was sober again, the doctor naturally asked about this situation. “Why did he run into the wilderness on such a cold day? How did he crawl home after falling into the water? Why didn’t he come to the hospital directly?”

The doctor was also confused. He knew that there was more to this matter than meets the eye. But the person involved said that he had fallen into the water and crawled home. He didn’t pursue the matter, so they naturally didn’t probe further.

“Alright, all of you continue chatting. I’ll go out first.”

After the doctor went out, He Shiqing crossed her arms and looked at the person on the hospital bed.

He Qiang’s lips were trembling, and his teeth were chattering as he said two words. “Jing family!”

The Jing family members had kicked him into the water, and another group had been guarding outside. When he climbed up, they kicked him down again. This happened over and over again. Not only was he shivering from the cold, but he was also frightened.

Wasn’t this publicly taking his life?

Only the Jing family could do such an arrogant thing.

He Shiqing’s back instantly turned cold.

She had already guessed it on the way here. But when she confirmed this news, she was still shocked.

When did Jing Hanchuan find out that I sent someone to follow and investigate him?

Did he just discover it, or did he already know?

If he knew earlier, did he hold back to treat me like a clown? Today, because I went to the Jing residence, he directly took me down a notch?

“Eldest Miss, what does Sixth Master Jing mean?” The driver had just paid the medical fees. When he saw his colleague lying on the bed, he was also scared out of his wits.

To soak in freezing water on such a cold day, he would at least lose a layer of skin even if he didn’t die.

He Shiqing’s fingers tightened, but she didn’t say anything.

Jing Hanchuan is warning me!

He’s telling me that as long as he wants, he can deal with me however he wants.

He made my person half-dead and threw him at my doorstep. As expected of Sixth Master Jing, he’s ruthless.

A while ago, in the Jing residence…

After sending He Shiqing away, Jing Hanchuan sent someone to get rid of the pest who had been staring at him.

“Sixth Master, what should we do with him? Just…” The man gestured around his neck, making Song Fengwan feel alarmed.

Does the Jing family really dare to take someone’s life?

“Put him into the water so that he becomes clear-headed before sending him to the He family.” Jing Hanchuan pinched some fish food and fed the goldfish in the fish tank with a relaxed expression.

The Jing family naturally wouldn’t dirty their hands. They personally kicked him into the ditch behind the house and soaked him repeatedly, tormenting him both physically and mentally.

From the day this person appeared, the people of the Jing family had noticed him. At the time, someone had suggested that they get rid of this annoying fly directly. Jing Hanchuan didn’t say anything.

He usually didn’t leave his house. If this person wanted to stand guard outside to catch the cold wind, he would let him be. But today, He Shiqing came straight over. Jing Hanchuan wanted to warn her, so he made a move on this person.

“Are you trying to tell He Shiqing that you know everything she’s done?” Fu Chen raised his eyebrows. “And tell her…”

Jing Hanchuan chuckled lightly. “As long as I want, I can crush her anytime.”

At this moment, a Jing family member ran in. “Sixth Master, how far should we go before sending him to the He family?”

“Leave him with one breath.” Jing Hanchuan had hated this fly behind him for a long time.

Song Fengwan felt a chill run down her spine and tugged at Fu Chen’s clothes. “Third Brother, we should go back…”

“Miss Song, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Aren’t you going to sit for a while longer? Isn’t your painting still unfinished?” Jing Hanchuan smiled harmlessly.

He was originally a handsome and elegant person. But at this moment, he lowered his eyes slightly and then suddenly looked up to smile at her with his eyebrows pressed down. He looked lazy, evil, and exceptionally arrogant.

“I’m going to a movie with Third Brother.” Song Fengwan suddenly felt that she really only knew him today.

Rumor had it that he was ruthless, lazy, and killed people like flies. Perhaps it wasn’t just a rumor.

“Stay for dinner tonight?” Jing Hanchuan invited.

“Tonight…” Song Fengwan smiled bitterly. She had never said that she was a good person, but it was inevitable that she would be shocked that he treated someone’s life so lightly.

“Fu Chen told me that you’ve been busy studying for your exams recently. I even specially instructed someone to make soup.”

“There’s really no need.” Song Fengwan cleared her throat.

“You’re really not staying?”

“Third Brother, let’s go to the movies!” Song Fengwan rejected decisively. She didn’t want to come to the Jing residence in the future.

Jing Hanchuan did it on purpose to scare Song Fengwan so that the two of them wouldn’t dare to come to his house in the future. What kind of place did they treat his house as? Every time they came here, they stuffed a mouthful of dog food down his mouth. He couldn’t take it anymore.

Since he couldn’t breach Fu Chen, he started with Song Fengwan. After all, she was just a little girl. Hearing about fighting and killing and seeing the Jing family’s behavior, she was shocked.

Fu Chen took a deep look at Jing Hanchuan.

Scaring your sister-in-law?

Jing Hanchuan, well done.
