The Blessed

(Special thanks to Yese 02. Sorry, been too busy recently, so didn’t update in time.

Later, I’ll try to pace up. And thank you for everyone’s support.)

“I don’t know. Jingwei said he got your permission. I’m begging you. Please save my daughter.”

Watching her daughter getting more and more painful, and her face turning into pork liver color due to severe suffocation, Shopkeeper Zhao even had tears in his eyes, voice hoarse. In Datong Town, he could be rendered as a big figure anyway, but now he had to kneel down to beg someone due to his son-in-law’s silly doing today. In the heart, his dissatisfaction towards his son-in-law upgraded again.

Seeing that it seemed he was really unaware of it, Ling Jingxuan raised his eyebrows. After a while, he took out two dark brown pills from his chest, “Take them with warm water, she’d recover soon.”

He changed his mind. He didn’t want Ling Jingwei’s life. He wanted to suffer!

“Hurry, get some water, be quick…”

Receiving the pills, Shopkeeper Zhang yelled like crazy, and those servants frozen there hurriedly did their jobs, some got the water, some prepared others things. Ling Jingxuan just watched them busy indifferently. When one of the servants sent the pills at the mouth of Ling Jingwei, taking advantage that no one was noticing, Ling Jingxuan secretly grabbed his hand and put two fingers on it to feel his pulse. Soon, a weird smile crawled onto his face. Things are getting funnier!

“Dad…”

About a quarter of an hour later, Lady Zhao who finally got over fell into Shopkeeper Zhang’s arms. A married woman in her twenties cried like a kid, nearly using all the strength she had, along with nonstop trembling, which clearly showed how scared she was. Shopkeeper Zhang had no son, this was his only daughters. Seeing his daughter like that, one could imagine how heart-broken he was, “Be good. It’s all right. It’s all right.”

“Dad? I…”

Ling Jingwei who woke up later looked at his wife, then turned to his father-in-law, opened his mouth, but did not utter one word, suddenly felt extremely cold deep in the heart. Others might not know, but he was crystal clear in the heart. The reason he could have been married with Shopkeeper Zhang’s daughter was all because he set up to get her virginity, Shopkeeper Zhang had no choice but to let him marry his daughter, and claimed to the outside saying that he valued his abilities. All these years, whatever method he used to suck up to his father-in-law, his father-in-law never laid his eyes on him. If it hadn’t been that his daughter couldn’t get pregnant these years and he held a little bit guilt to him, Ling Jingwei even was better than a servant. Now for the kids’ thing, his daughter nearly died, maybe his detest against him would grow more.

No, he couldn’t lose what he had now. The Zhao family property must belong to him!

“Don’t call me. I don’t have a son-in-law like you. Who the fuck gave you the nerve to kidnap someone else’s kids, you son of a bitch?”

Once he made a sound, Shopkeeper Zhang directly vent all the anger on him, staring at him with that pair of wide opened eyes, like they could star two holes on him. Of course, not only to vent his anger, another reason was Ling Jingxuan that God of Plague was here. He was not a fool. Given his heartlessness, this isn’t over. Either for his daughter or his shop, at this moment he had to cut a clear line with this whole thing.

In short, he had abandoned his long-hated son-in-law for the sake of himself and his daughter.

“Dad, I did this all for the family? If it hadn’t been that Suhua couldn’t get pregnant all these years, how would I ever generate the idea of adopting other’s kids?”

Ling Jingwei was also smart enough. Seeing through his father-in-law’s plan, he hurriedly rolled and climbed to his side. At this time, he must not lose his father-in-law this big tree. As for Ling Jingxuan, he had been forgotten him to the clouds.

“You mean the blame is on us? Ling Jingwei, I told you two years ago that if you wanted a child, you could divorce Suhua and marry another woman. But you didn’t want to do that. Now you break the law to abduct other’s kids, and want to push the blame onto us?”

Giving a peep at Ling Jingxuan, Shopkeeper Zhang snapped. He would never allow his daughter to go through such a huge disaster again. That man looks young, but he is really ruthless. On thinking his daughter’s nearly-drying appearance, he still felt scared. If he had been one minute later…No, he couldn’t even think it on. When one reached his middle age, the most unbearable thing was to lose the offspring. He knew he couldn’t afford to take that.

“Dad, Since I got married with Suhua, we have been loving each other and treating each other with respect. How could I divorce her because of kids? Besides, didn’t you also agree with the adopting stuff?”

“You call that adoption? That’s absolute abducting!”

“I just brought the kids over first. I planned to explain to Jingxuan in person tomorrow.”

“You…”

Those two totally ignored the presence of Ling Jingxuan, and those servants. Shopkeeper Zhang tried to stay out of the kidnapping thing, while Ling Jingwei said anything possible to tie them together. No one would take a step back, which gave Ling Jingxuan a chance to watch the whole drama.

“Since you said you are innocent, why would the kids’ dad come to announce the kids?”

During the quarrel, Shopkeeper Zhang suddenly howled while pointing to Ling Jingxuan. All people’s attention in an instant turned to him. Ling Jingwei froze there. Till now he remembered Ling Jingxuan’s presence. When looking into Ling Jingxuan’s eyes with a fake smile, he couldn’t help shivering subconsciously, and a fearful feeling instantly crawled into his eyes.

“Jing…Jingxuan, I really just wanted to take the kids over to let my dad and Suhua have a look, no other meaning.”

Standing up to look at him, Ling Jingwei shamelessly stammered.

“Well, what else?”

Leaning on the shelve, Ling Jingxuan held his hands before the chest, eyes slightly narrowed, no one could tell what he was thinking. Ling Jingwei looked at him timidly, and then continued, “I know these years are tough for you. Without my second uncle and aunt, you’d have already been starved to death. You also don’t want them to live such a life, right? Although I don’t have too big capabilities, supporting them wouldn’t be a problem. And…and I can also send them to a private school, or hire a teacher to teach them at home. And they would have good prospects, right?”

The more he said, the more confidence he got, totally ignoring the faint cold smile at the corner of Ling Jingxuan’s lips. So he did this all for their whole family’s good???

Pia~Pia~

As his words fell, crisp slapping sound rose. Facing Ling Jingwei’s ‘confident’ eyes, Ling Jingxuan gave a mocking smile, “Truly the young shopkeeper of such a big grocery store. So oily! Ling Jingwei, do you think too highly of yourself or look too down on me? You think you can be their adoptive father? Even the whole Datown Town is yours, you are not qualified to relate yourself to my sons, let alone your Zhao family only has such a small shitty grocery store!”

Even if he might guess it wrong that Yan Shengrui was not the only prince that had a general title in whole Qing Kingdom, only relying on his own abilities, few people could surpass him. Ling Jingwei wants to adopt his sons? Still no way even in next life!

“You…I’ll let it go if you don’t agree. We are cousins anyway, and it’s my bad today. We can just take it as nothing happened.”

Ling Jingwei was furious, and the next second he remembered his brutal, so he was really thick-skinned enough trying to pull strings.
