My Secretary is a Little Sweet

Chapter 351: Shares to Hands

Years passed, and Mo Lan started giving out fewer and fewer things.

On Jing Yichen’s Birthday, she barely gave any presents.

The problem was that even if she gave something to Jing Yichen, he would toss it off later and more importantly, Jing Yichen had never celebrated his birthday after Zhao Qing passed away.

Mo Lan knew that he might not need anything from her, but if she gave him the shares, he will accept them because those shares represented the inheritance of Family Jing, and that was much more important than money.

That was why she was thinking about giving her 10% shares to Jing Yichen. After all, that was the only thing he would accept.

However, the grandson she loved most, wanted it too.

To whom should she give the shares? Mo Lan found herself in a dilemma.

Jing Yiran could tell that she was hesitating. He took hold of her wrinkled hands and said, “Grandma, I want those shares because I want to keep myself safe. He doesn’t have a mother, neither do I...”

His voice got lower and lower.

He was actually very sad about Zhang Rong’s death. She might have been annoying and evil, but she was his mother and should not have been murdered by others, easily. Most importantly, it had been Jing Yichen who murdered her!

“I just feel that my brother is getting more and more capable whilst I weaker and weaker. I have got so scared by his punches and I believe that he won’t leave me alone in the future. So I want some more things to keep myself safe, so that he can’t touch me easily. Isn’t that right, Grandma?”

Mo Lan looked at this extremely handsome grandson and noticed that he was indeed feeling uneasy and anxious. Her heart softened.

Jing Yiran was right.

He had been punched by Jing Yichen hundreds of times when he was little and even till date, he was punched by Jing Yichen anytime.

Jing Yiran was not a child any more and he shouldn’t be punched just because someone wanted to do so. On some occasions, he had almost lost his life!

Jing Yichen was definitely going to hit him again. Who was going to defend Jing Yiran after she died?

Both her husband and son only accepted Jing Yichen and they clearly favored him more.

Jing Yiran got a bit happy when he noticed Mo Lan’s pitying look. He started to recount the terrible treatment he had received and described Jing Yichen as a vicious man.

Of course, he didn’t exaggerate. Jing Yichen was indeed a vicious man to him.

Mo Lan was getting persuaded. She felt that maybe it would be correct to leave all the shares to Jing Yiran for his protection.

But she felt a bit uneasy inside her heart. She felt sorry for Jing Yiran but she also felt guilty towards Jing Yichen, so she couldn’t make any decision.

“Ran, please go home today and leave me alone. I will come to you when I make up my mind. The shares of Jingsheng are of greatest importance. It is not just about money.”

Jing Yiran clenched his fingers but still showed a smile to Mo Lan. “Of course, Grandma, I will be waiting for your decision.”

He said so and walked out.

But he came again the following day.

He didn’t mention anything about shares. He just fed the parrots with Mo Lan, kept her company over lunch and attended the card games with her old friends outside home.

Three days later, Mo Lan asked Jing Yiran to come to him and gave him the letter of share transfer to him.

“Ran, you have worked very hard during these days in keeping me company. I have made the decision to give you all the shares. I will give none to your brother.”

Jing Yiran got extremely pleased inside his heart.

He couldn’t conceal his smile and took hold of Mo Lan as he said with a laugh, “Thank you, Grandma! You are the most beautiful lady in the world. I love you more than I love anybody else.”

Mo Lan laughed too.

She patted the back of her grandson and said with a smile, “You know how to make me smile. I am not young anymore nor am I beautiful.”

She was smiling yet she somehow felt uneasy inside her heart.

She had no idea if the decision which she made would lead to any complications.

Jing Yiran kept her company for a few more hours and then left with the letter of shares transfer worth tens of billions.

But the truth that he took the shares from Mo Lan was not a secret anymore.

The first servant that knew about this matter told the Butler, secretly.

The Butler hesitated for a moment and then entered the study where he made the call to Jing Zhongxiu and recounted the entire incident to him.

Jing Zhongxiu’s study was specially constructed. It was safe and sound proof.

Only Jing Tianyuan and Jing Yichen as well as the Butler could enter the study without permission. The Butler worked for Family Jing but he was only devoted to Jing Zhongxiu.

Jing Zhongxiu was in the UK at the moment. He was personally checking the preparations for Jing Yichen’s wedding that was going to take place next month.

After hearing what the Butler said, he stayed silent for a long time before speaking up. “Tell this matter to the Old Lord and Elder Master.”

Theoretically speaking, Jing Yiran should not get the shares of Jingsheng.

He was not the heir of Family Jing and had no right to control Jingsheng.

Then why was he trying to get the shares?

There was only one possibility – he was going to try and control Jingsheng.

After hearing what Jing Zhongxiu said, the Butler hung up the phone and called Jing Tianyuan and Jing Yichen, respectively and told them about the matter.

Jing Yichen gave him no response. He hung up after saying “Okay.”

But Jing Tianyuan got extremely annoyed. He struck the table when he was still with Mu Wensheng.

After hanging up the phone, Mu Wensheng laughed at him instantly. “Seems that your grandson is not that obedient either. See, this is what you got for laughing at me some days ago! Let’s see what you have taught your offspring – killing between family members for properties! Well, look at my sons and grandsons. They never fight for the inheritance, and they even allow others to take over. What a lovely and peaceful family!”

Jing Tianyuan had been teased by Mu Wensheng many times, so he didn’t take his words too seriously. Instead, he kept cursing fiercely.

“Old lady is getting more and more confused with age!”

“All she knows is to love that bastard. Just see what he has been doing these days. While Yichen is trying so hard to clean it up after him, he keeps stabbing him behind his back. Yichen would not be so restrained beyond a point.”

“I really want to kick him out of Family Jing. He doesn’t look like anyone from Family Jing and he doesn’t behave like us either. He is just like his mother who only knows how to do evil things.”

Mu Wensheng knew exactly what Family Jing had gone through. Jing Tianyuan had been pissed many times because of this matter.

There was one time when he stayed at this place and had refused to get back to his own home.
