Chapter 450: 209 No Regrets (First Update)_2

Ming Jing smiled and shook her head, “You are disciples of Buddhism, and I advised you to reduce your desires and avoid fighting to understand your true nature and attain enlightenment. But now you have returned to secular life and are no longer disciples of Buddhism. You can grow freely according to your personality based on good moral character. In this way, your time in the human world is not wasted.”

“You are all good children, and Second Sister believes in you.”

Ming Jing turned and went downstairs. Ming Ti and Ming Chen looked at each other, and they both laughed and cried at the same time.

Second Sister was the best sister in the world. She had been like a mother since they were young, teaching them to read and write, teaching them about Buddhist scriptures and principles, and the principles of how to deal with people and affairs. Now she had provided them with a shelter, a luxurious house, and the best education. When they faced difficulties, Second Sister protected them from wind and rain. How could they ever repay such kindness?

Second Sister didn’t suppress their true nature but let them grow freely, only because she believed they would not disappoint her.

This kind of love and trust made both of them shed tears.

But Second Sister, you are only a few years older than us. You should also be a carefree and innocent young girl.

Zhang Yunfang came and asked, “Why are you crying? I didn’t hear your sister scolding you.”

Ming Chen glared at her: “Did you eavesdrop on our conversation?”

Zhang Yunfang hurriedly waved her hand, “I didn’t mean to eavesdrop… I’m… I’m sorry.”

“Alright, I’ll forgive you. After all, there’s nothing shameful about what Second Sister said.”

Zhang Yunfang cautiously said, “Ming Chen, thank you for speaking up for me just now. I used to say nasty things about you with Li Yu, aren’t you upset with me?”

“There’s nothing to be upset about. Second Sister says we should be magnanimous and broad-minded. Always getting angry will only hurt ourselves.”

Zhang Yunfang looked envious, “Your Second Sister is so great and powerful. Li Yu and her mother were so embarrassed by her.”

Ming Chen proudly said, “Of course, my Second Sister is the most beautiful, kind, and wonderful woman in the world, without a doubt.”

Zhang Yunfang nodded in agreement, “If only I had a sister like that too.”

Ming Chen snorted, “Keep dreaming! Second Sister is mine, and no one can take her away.”

Zhang Yunfang chuckled, “Of course, I won’t compete with you. Ming Chen, Ming Ti, can I be friends with you guys from now on? I swear I will never hang out with Li Yu again.”

Ming Chen smiled, “Sure, I love making friends.”

Zhang Yunfang immediately happily held Ming Chen’s arm and glanced at Ming Ti, who had been silent the whole time. Laughing nervously, she looked somewhat guilty.

Zhang Yunfang was actually scared of Ming Ti, who was the class monitor and usually didn’t smile or talk much.

Ming Ti didn’t look at Zhang Yunfang but turned to look downstairs instead.

At that moment, the bell rang for the end of class, and the students rushed out like birds freed from their cages.

A figure dressed in white opened an umbrella and walked into the rain.

Raindrops splashed on the hem of the skirt, making the silver lotus appear even more ethereal and elegant.

Amidst the misty rain, the figure seemed to be shrouded in fog, appearing otherworldly, as if not from the mortal world.

Looking at the figure, the crowd started to discuss. The teenagers, who already had a preliminary notion of beauty, thought they had seen a celestial being.The figure gradually disappeared into the misty rain.

Ming Ti, Ming Chen, and Zhang Yunfang returned to the classroom, where all the students stared at them in surprise. Ming Ti’s face showed a happy smile, not at all like someone who had just been expelled. Someone asked her, “Weren’t you expelled?”

Ming Ti blinked her eyes: “Why would I be expelled?”

“You… You offended Li Yu, didn’t you? I went to elementary school with her. Once, she had a fight with another girl who just scolded her a few times, and the girl was expelled from school. You even left scratches on Li Yu’s face. How could she let you off so easily? I saw her mother coming to the school earlier.”

Her mother had warned her countless times not to provoke Li Yu since Li Yu’s uncle was a powerful figure that she could not afford to offend.

It seemed impossible for Ming Chen to have beaten Li Yu so severely and yet remain unscathed. Was she just pretending to be calm?

All the students looked at her with suspicion.

Ming Chen laughed: “It seems you have become accustomed to being oppressed by those in power. This is not good. Where there is resistance, there is oppression. I did nothing wrong, so the school has no reason to expel me.”

Ming Chen returned to her seat, leaving everyone confused by her words. How could there be no reason to expel her when the powerful people didn’t care about reason?

Zhang Yunfang coughed and said, “Ming Chen is right, it seems everyone has been bending the knee for so long that they’ve forgotten how to stand up. Li Yu was the one who started it, Ming Chen was just defending herself. If the school were to expel her, it would mean they couldn’t tell right from wrong. However, our school has a good reputation, so it’s unlikely that they would do something like that, right?”

The others remained half convinced, but then Li Yu walked into the classroom. The noisy room went silent in an instant.

Li Yu glared at Ming Chen with resentment, but her expression quickly changed to one of fear. She walked to her seat, stuffed her textbooks into her school bag, and left the classroom.

Everyone looked at each other, wondering what was going on.

Was it not Ming Chen who was expelled, but Li Yu instead?

For a moment, everyone looked at Ming Chen with admiration. She was truly amazing!

Ming Chen smiled and waved her hands: “Remember, everyone, if you ever encounter injustice in the future, stand up and resist. By indulging them, we would only encourage further bullying. We live in a society governed by the rule of law, so we must seek to reason based on the law. Our headmaster is really a great person…”

After hearing Ming Chen’s words, everyone thought it made sense. Ming Chen’s image in their hearts grew taller, and even the headmaster seemed less annoying.

Ming Ti glanced at Ming Chen, only to see a mischievous wink from her. Ming Ti shook her head and laughed.

In terms of social skills and winning people’s hearts, she was no match for Ming Chen. Looking at the admiration in the eyes of the entire class, it seemed that Ming Chen had masterfully exercised authority. By praising the headmaster so highly, Ming Chen had effectively made him feel both ashamed and, at the same time, more tolerant and fond of her and Ming Ti.

Upon leaving the classroom, Li Yu burst into tears.

She and her mother had offended her uncle. Now, everything was ruined.

Jessica Feng waited outside the school gate. When she saw Li Yu come out, she couldn’t help but scold her, “What’s taking you so long? Hurry up.”

Li Yu hurriedly jogged over. At this moment, Jessica Feng’s phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, her hand trembled slightly. After thinking about it, she had to strike first to gain the upper hand.

Answering the call, she immediately sobbed, “My dear, I’ve been wronged…”

Before she could say more, she was interrupted by the voice on the other end of the line, “What are you talking about, wronged? I should have known that with your temperament, you would bring trouble to me sooner or later. I’ve warned you countless times not to use Mr. Gu’s name to bully others, but you never listen. Do you realize that Mr. Gu just called me, wanting to cut off all ties? You foolish woman, you’ve ruined everything.”

Jessica Feng was in a panic, quickly saying, “She’s just the daughter of a merchant, and she’s not related to Shen Zhou by blood. Why are you so afraid of her?”

“You really are a fool. Do you not know that she’s very close to Madam Shen, and Mr. Shen has always been watching him? The last thing we need is to send them a gift like this. You’re pushing Mr. Gu into the fire. Of all the people to offend, you had to offend Ming Jing. Now, besides the Rans, no one in Manjiangzhou dares to offend her.”
