She Shocks The Whole World After Retirement

Chapter 1490

Jing Jiaren sounded calm, but Madam Zhang, who knew her daughter like the back of her hand, could sense the regret in Jing Jiaren's words.

Madam Zhang guessed that her daughter might have other feelings towards Ye Qingyang, so she frowned slightly and asked curiously, "It's not that you don't care about Ye Qingyang, so why were you so ruthless back then?"

What Jing Jiaren said to Ye Qingyang back then was her own decision. Madam Zhang and Jing Ruge didn't interfere.

Even now, Madam Zhang felt that Jing Jiaren was too ruthless to Ye Qingyang back then.

Jing Jiaren bit her lip and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Because a young man who had lost his family and only had 17 years to live was destined to be unable to become a top expert and was therefore unworthy of becoming my other half." Therefore, even though she still loved Ye Qingyang, Jing Jiaren still chose to hurt Ye Qingyang.

When she heard this, a look of shock flashed across Madam Zhang's eyes.

"You're really…" Cold-blooded and heartless.

Madam Zhang felt that using these words to describe her daughter was too cruel, so she stopped herself in time.

Jing Jiaren understood what Madam Zhang meant. She shrugged and said, "Mom, they all say that I'm the most qualified successor of the Jing family. Even I think so."

"But first and foremost, you're yourself." Madam Zhang's heart ached for Jing Jiaren. She regretted instilling in Jing Jiaren the idea that the interests of the Jing family were paramount since she wasContent is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

young. Back then, Jing Rujiu decided to give up the position of the successor of the Jing family for a man from a small world, which severely agitated the elders of the Jing family and her father.

After what happened to Jing Rujiu, the Jing family couldn't help but be much stricter to Jing Jiaren, the new successor.

It wasn't her fault, but the Jing family's fault that Jing Jiaren had become like this.

Jing Jiaren became the Jing family's successor and the Jing family's best trump card, but she lost her true self.

Jing Jiaren shook her head helplessly and said resignedly, "However, the Jing family's interests have already become the benchmark for everything I do, be it making friends, dating, or doing business."

Madam Zhang was speechless.

After a long while, she asked, "Then did you find any clues related to your aunt when you went to the inner academy this time?"

Jing Jiaren shook her head regretfully. "No."

"I heard that a few of the students who entered the inner academy with you were ascendants from the Holy Spirit Continent. Your uncle is from the Holy Spirit Continent." Madam Zhang asked Jing Jiaren, "Have you asked them about the Yin Clan? I remember that the Yin Clan that your uncle is from is one of the top major families on the Holy Spirit Continent. Perhaps you can get clues from them."

"I thought of what you thought of too." Jing Jiaren thought of something and said to Madam Zhang, "There's a woman called Yu Huang in the inner academy. She's from the Holy Spirit Continent. The first time I saw her, I thought I saw my aunt."

"Oh really?" When Madam Zhang heard this, her interest was piqued and she asked, "I've heard of Yu Huang's name before." Yu Huang was now considered a celebrity among these young cultivators in the super Great World. Her current fame was comparable to that of Zhan Wuya, Ye Qingyang, and the others.

Madam Zhang said, "According to what I know, Yu Huang is the new disciple of Prime Emperor Divine Miracle and she was the one who gave you the Divination Ultimate Art. This young lady is extremely outstanding and there are quite a few big shots backing her. Prime Emperor Mo Xiao, the unregistered member of the nine-tailed fox clan, is her godfather. In the two years you've been in seclusion, Prime Emperor Mo Xiao has also successfully joined the Space Administration. When he and his wife attend important events, he often mentions their goddaughter. I think Prime Emperor Mo Xiao and his wife value Yu Huang very much and seem to want to raise her as their biological daughter."

"What's so special about Yu Huang that made you think she's very similar to your aunt?"

Jing Jiaren explained, "They don't look very similar, but Yu Huang's eyes are really similar to my aunt's." The Jing family's beauties all had a pair of long and narrow eyes.

"Is that so?" Madam Zhang stared at Jing Jiaren's phoenix eyes as she said, "The Jing family is famous for our beautiful eyes. No wonder you think they look alike. In that case, what did she say?"

"She said that she doesn't know my aunt at all, but she's heard of my uncle's name. She even told me that more than twenty years ago, in order to save the commoners of the Holy Spirit Continent, my uncle chose to self-destruct his Beast Heart and soul. And my aunt has never been to the Holy Spirit Continent at all. I was worried that Yu Huang was lying to me, so I even asked my cousins in the Special Academy and the Magic Academy to secretly ask the ascendants who have a good relationship with Yu Huang about the situation. The answers they obtained were the same. Yu Huang is indeed unrelated to the Yin Clan."

After Jing Jiaren finished speaking, she didn't hear her mother's response. When she looked up at her mother, she saw that her mother was in a daze.

"Mom, why aren't you saying anything?"

Madam Zhang came back to her senses and asked in shock, "You're saying that your uncle has already died?"

Jing Jiaren nodded with a mixed expression. "Yes, he died."

Madam Zhang remained silent for a long time.

At this moment, Lu Mian quickly walked over and lowered her head as she reminded the two of them, "Madam, the youngsters of the clan are already prepared. As soon as Jiaren heads over, we will attend the oath-taking meeting of the Divination Conference."

Jing Jiaren stood up and said goodbye to Madam Zhang. "Mom, I'll be heading over now. Remember to watch my competition."

"Of course."

After Jing Jiaren left, Madam Zhang stared at the table full of flowers, but she was no longer in the mood to arrange flowers.

Lu Mian noticed that Madam Zhang was in a low mood and asked with concern, "Yiyi, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly in a bad mood?"

Zhang Zhanyi held her forehead as she lamented softly, "Jiaren just said that her uncle has already died."

Lu Mian froze for a moment before she remembered Jing Jiaren's uncle-in-law. "You're talking about Miss Jing's husband from the small world? The one called… Yin Mingjue?" Lu Mian thought about it carefully before finally remembering his name.

Yin Mingjue came from a bottom-tier small world, so the Jing family looked down on him. Every time they mentioned him, they would describe him as the 'small cultivator'. This also caused Lu Mian to be unable to remember his name for a moment.

Zhang Zhanyi nodded. "It's him."

Zhang Zhanyi told her, "Although Yin Mingjue came from a bottom-tier small world, he kept improving himself and relied on his own strength to enter the elite team of the inner academy. We were once comrades. He was quite a gentleman. I really didn't expect him to die so early."

Zhang Zhanyi picked up a bouquet of camellias and shook it as she muttered, "If Rujiu knew, she would probably be in so much pain that she would wish she was dead. Sigh."

When Lu Mian heard this, she muttered softly, "I wonder where Miss Rujiu is now. She hasn't been found even after so many years. I'm afraid she's long…" Before Lu Mian could finish speaking, she received Zhang Zhanyi's warning gaze.

"Watch your words."

Lu Mian's heart skipped a beat. Then, she quickly lowered her head and didn't dare to make another sound.

It was only when she heard Zhang Zhanyi say, "Go and ask about Jiaren's participation time." Lu Mian heaved a sigh of relief and quickly agreed before running away to ask about the participation time.
