Chapter 423: 196 My Fate (Second Watch of the Night)
“I liked it, but since you’ve acknowledged the Shens, why didn’t you tell me? Are you still mad at me?”
Lin Qing took two steps forward and held Ming Jing’s hand.
Ming Jing calmly avoided her hand, “Madam, I think I made myself clear that day.”
“If you don’t like Xiangxiang, I will send her away and keep her out of your sight. Will you come back home with me?”
Ming Jing shook her head: “It has nothing to do with Zhu Xiangxiang. Madam, your constant changes and indecisiveness hurt everyone.”
Lin Qing stood there in a daze.
“You can’t have your cake and eat it too, Madam. Please think about what you truly want.”
Ming Jing thought for a moment, “Time will tell everything. Madam, please be more patient. In fact, this situation is not necessarily a bad experience for you. It allows you to meet the right person at the right time.”
“Rest assured, Madam, even if I leave the Zhus, I will not stand idly by if they are in trouble. It’s late now, please go home.”
Ming Jing said to the approaching Shen Ke, “Please escort Madam Zhu home.”
Shen Ke complied and said to Lin Qing, “Madam, please.”
Lin Qing took a deep look at Ming Jing, who remained calm as always, like the first day she visited. No matter what happened, she was always as steady as a mountain.
Lin Qing finally understood.
People’s hearts are unpredictable, but Ming Jing’s heart is like crystal clear glass. Lin Qing was wrong to suspect her of malicious intent.
In Ming Jing’s heart, Lin Qing and the Zhus were just passing by. She took care of them out of responsibility.
It must be the warmth of the Shens that made Ming Jing recognize them as family.
Remembering her own bias against Ming Jing all this time, Lin Qing had lost face.
Shen Ke hurried to catch up.
Ming Jing stood there for a while. As the night breeze turned colder, a coat dropped on her shoulders, bringing a trace of warmth.
Ming Jing turned around and smiled faintly, “Big brother.”
“If you don’t like it, don’t force yourself,” Shen Zhou said kindly.
“Both my father and I have your back.”
Ming Jing looked at the bright moon in the sky and said quietly, “Zhu Xiangxiang was right, I am indeed not the real daughter of the Zhus.”
Shen Zhou raised his eyebrows, “You must have your reasons for doing this.”
“Do you trust me that much, big brother?”
“I do have some ability to judge people,” Shen Zhou said confidently.
Ming Jing smiled and said, “One day, the truth will come to light, and everything will return to its original course. Dust to dust, earth to earth…”
Shen Zhou frowned, “I never liked the Zhus in the first place. It’s better not to have any dealings with them now.”
“I’m glad you told me the truth. It proves that you truly regard me as family. Remember, you are my sister, Shen Zhou’s sister, and no one can bully you. You can do whatever you want with your life.”
Shen Zhou’s heavy voice was resounding, and Ming Jing raised her head to meet a pair of dark yet gentle eyes.
Ming Jing’s heart stirred, and she smiled faintly, “I understand, big brother.”
“Let’s go, let’s go home.”
Ming Jing savored the words “go home”, then smiled, raised her steps, and followed.
“What’s the story between you and Ms. Mao?”
“You’re interested?”
“Ms. Mao is nice, lively and cheerful. Don’t you like her, big brother?”
Shen Zhou’s mouth twitched, “What do you think?”
“As one drinks water, only they know its temperature. Of course, I hope my big brother can be happy.”
“Let’s leave it up to fate.”
The next day, the headlines of major newspapers and websites inevitably began to publish the news, shocking the whole country.
Shen Zhou, a household name in China, and Ming Jing, who had recently gained fame, especially after founding the Wishful Thinking Charitable Foundation under the name of Zhu Group. They pledged that all the profits of the company within a year would be invested in the foundation, with a professional team responsible for operational expenses and charitable projects. The process would be open and transparent, and every detail would be published on the official website for public supervision.
As a result, Ming Jing’s reputation in Jiangzhou reached its peak, and now becoming Shen Zhou’s sworn sister and receiving Yunmeng Villa as a gift made her a hot topic of discussion recently.
Ever since participating in the “Three Meals a Day” event, Ming Jing’s fame had skyrocketed. But she didn’t have a Weibo account and had never participated in any TV shows, so she clearly had no intention of entering the entertainment industry. However, she was now more famous than any other celebrity.
