Chapter 405: 187 Passerby (First watch of the night) _2
For a brief moment, the hall was as quiet as a tomb, with a remarkable array of expressions on everyone’s faces.
Each of her statements left the people speechless.
What did she say at the end? Was she planning to move out of the Zhus’?
Granny Zhu finally reacted, reprimanding Lin Qing and Zhu Xiangxiang fiercely, “What the hell are you two up to? Is it really so pleasurable to chase Ming Jing out of the Zhus’? Now that you have your wish, if Ming Jing leaves, I will not remain in this house either.”
Lin Qing stammered, “Mother… I never expected Ming Jing to make such a decision. Where can she go if she leaves the Zhus’ home?”
“You have broken the kid’s heart.”
Only Zhu Xiangxiang seemed satisfied. Fantastic, Ming Jing was going to leave the Zhus, she had won this round.
Once Zhu Ming Jing left the Zhus’, the slap on her face didn’t feel quite as painful.
Ming Jing went upstairs and ran into Ming Ti and Ming Chen at the stairwell, along with Ming Yi. The three of them stared at Ming Jing simultaneously.
Ming Jing slightly curved her lips, “Pack up, we are leaving the Zhus.”
“That’s great!” Ming Chen immediately rushed excitedly upstairs.
Ming Ti glanced worriedly at Ming Jing, “Ming Jing…”.
“Wherever Ming Jing goes, that will be your home.”
Suddenly raising his head to look at Ming Jing’s gentle eyes, Ming Ti nods heavily and then goes upstairs.
Han Suwen, holding Ming Yi, said, “I’ll pack up immediately.”
Without keeping everyone waiting for too long, Ming Jing returned downstairs, having changed her school uniform to a long white dress. She had a portfolio and a jewelry box in her hands. Xiao Ying followed behind her with a suitcase, while holding a wooden box in her other hand, beyond this, there were no other belongings.
Ming Ti and Ming Chen each had a suitcase. There was no lingering sorrow on their faces from leaving such a wealthy household, their dazzling smiles were blindingly bright.
Ming Yi, holding Han Suwen’s hand, was too little to understand the situation and remained obediently silent.
Everyone looked at her in shock, they hadn’t expected her to be truly leaving.
Lin Qing’s lips moved slightly, muttering, “Ming Jing, are you really leaving?”
Ming Jing placed the folder and the jewelry box on the tea table and calmly said, “These are the property deeds of the shop and all the jewelry you gave me before. They’re all here. I’m giving them back to you.”
Lin Qing covered her mouth in disbelief. The jade bracelet she had given Ming Jing on her first visit was also inside.
“Where can you go if you leave the Zhus’? This is your home.” Lin Qing was panicked and subconsciously walked over to grab Ming Jing’s hands.
“Ming Jing, your mother should not have accused you without knowing the whole story. I was wrong. Can you please not leave? Where can you and your junior sisters go after leaving the Zhus’? Would you return to become nuns again?”
Ming Jing brushed her hand away with a serene smile, “Madam, our journey together ends here. As for my future, you need not worry.”
Leaving these words behind, she calmly walked out the Zhus’ house.
“Ming Jing…” Granny Zhu cried out.
Ming Jing paused, then turned back and walked to Granny Zhu. She pulled the blanket higher on Granny Zhu’s legs, “Granny, I’m sorry I can’t stay with you anymore. But you’ll always be my Granny. Once I’ve settled down, and if you’re willing, I will come and take you to live with me. Madam Zhou, remember to give Granny her medication on time, and if there is any discomfort, contact me immediately.”
After giving these final instructions, she left the Zhus’, with Xiao Ying, Ming Ti, and all the others walking proudly behind her, disappearing quickly into the distance.
Lin Qing rushed out, and saw a luxury vehicle at the Zhus’ gate. A handsome young man, the driver, came down from the car and helped with the luggage.
Zhu Wentao, who followed her out, recognized him at first glance.
The confident and impressive Secretary Du from the company, turned out to be Ming Jing’s personal driver.
How could such an impressive young man willingly serve as a secretary and driver for a young lady?
After loading the luggage, everyone got into the vehicle and left in a cloud of dust, soon disappearing into the mountain road.
Lin Qing ran after the car for a couple of steps, then fell helplessly to her knees, “Ming Jing… why are you leaving?”
She finally realized too late that she was about to lose her daughter, and she would be gone forever.
She never expected it to be a big deal at the time, and she finally understood the bone-piercing regret which left her restless.
Zhu Xiangxiang followed outside, and seeing Lin Qing weeping on her knees, she nervously licked her lips and went over to help her, “Mother, we should go back inside, it’s cold outside and it’s going to rain soon.”
