From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

Lin Qing didn’t notice her strange reaction and handed the package to Madam

Zhou, casually asking, “Where’s Ming Jing? Didn’t she come back with you?”

Zhu Xiangxiang shook her head, “Ever since she got her own car, she’s been coming home later and later. I don’t know what she’s busy with every day.”

Lin Qing frowned, “This child…”

Madam Zhou smiled, ‘Ms. Ming Jing knows her limits, madam, don’t worry.”

Lin Qing had long decided to let Ming Jing be, knowing that she couldn’t control her anyway.

She glanced at Zhu Xiangxiang, “Are you sick? Why is your face so pale?”

“I’ve been busy lately and haven’t been able to take care of you. Take care of yourselves and don’t worry me, alright?” Zhu Xiangxiang pursed her lips and nodded.

“Do you have enough pocket money this month?”

“Yes.” Zhu Xiangxiang’s hands were clenching the cardboard box behind her so tightly that she was almost tearing a hole in it.

“By the way, Madam Li’s daughter is getting married this weekend. You’ll accompany me, okay?”

Zhu Xiangxiang raised her head in surprise, “Me?”

Lin Qing looked at her, “What’s the matter?”

Zhu Xiangxiang quickly nodded, “I’ll be sure to prepare well.”

She turned and went upstairs.

Madam Zhou pretended not to know, “Perhaps Ms. Ming Jing’s return has had some impact on her. She’ll get better with time.”

Lin Qing sighed, “Why is this child so sensitive? After Ming Jing came back, I’ve treated her even better than before. What more does she want? Blood is thicker than water after all.

Madam Zhou coughed and thought to herself: Finally, you’ve figured it out, madam.

“How’s mother today?”

Madam Zhou smiled, “With Ms. Ming Jing around, Madam has been getting better day by day.”

Lin Qing breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s good.” One less trouble was always welcome.

Before going upstairs, Lin Qing glanced at the entrance. It was already dark outside; why hadn’t that girl come back yet?

In her room, Zhu Xiangxiang locked the door and opened the express parcel. Upon seeing the contents inside, her face turned pale, and she instinctively threw it away.

“No… I can’t do that…”

She slumped to the floor, staring at the small pink package lying motionless on the ground.

—What are you hesitating for, Zhu Xiangxiang? No one in this family has ever treated you as a member. Ruin them, ruin them all…

With a sinister smile on her lips, the girl crawled over and clenched the pink package tightly in her hand.

“I absolutely, absolutely won’t admit defeat.”

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

“This semester’s final exams will determine your grades, so I hope everyone does their best. Also, registration for the Math Olympiad has begun, and those interested can come to me for the application form.”

As soon as the headteacher Huang Liang finished speaking, all eyes in the class fell on Ming Jing.

In the past, the headteacher would never bring up such matters in class, as it was of no use—there wasn’t anyone in the class worth looking up to. But now, these words were directed at Ming Jing.

After going over some test instructions, the school bell rang.

Tao Xingxing packed her things and said, “Ming Jing, are you going to participate in the Math Olympiad?”

Ming Jing nodded, “Yes.”

“There’s a new milk tea shop in Huaqiang Square, and their new pearl stocking milk tea is said to be great. Should we try it out?”

Ming Jing put on her backpack and the two walked out together. “No, I’m busy. I’ll treat you on the weekend if I have time.”

Tao Xingxing lowered her head in disappointment, “Alright.”

Ming Jing got into the car, and on the seat next to her was a black luggage bag. She opened it, skillfully applying makeup.

“For the past month, I’ve been keeping an eye on Shou Chang, but there has been no progress. It seems he really doesn’t know the whereabouts of Ran Bowen’s little mistress.” Zheng Qing said as he drove, one hand on the steering wheel, smoothly merging into traffic.

Ming Jing put on her cap, “This woman is now married, lives in a small, comfortable home, has a handsome, considerate husband, obedient children, and presumably has a respectable and easy job. She’s just an ordinary woman among the numerous people in this world.”

Zheng Qing asked in surprise, “How do you know? Have you found her?”

“If Ran Bowen didn’t want them to be exposed, he would definitely arrange everything in such a way that they would hide without a trace. Even if Ran Tengxiao searched the entire Jiangzhou, he wouldn’t find any trace.”

Once a month, Ran Bowen would disappear for an entire day, and nobody could find him. During these times, he would send his trusted men away on errands. Ran Bowen was very alert and had managed to remain undetected for many years.

“We can put this matter on hold for now. Clues will surface eventually.”

Before getting out of the car, Zheng Qing stopped her, “Ming Jing, are you sure you want to do this? Do you know how dangerous it is?”

“Not entering the tiger’s den, how can one obtain the tiger’s cub?”

The thin figure of the young girl disappeared into the night without looking back.

The Rans’ Villa.

“Get out, all of you! What kind of useless doctors!” The angry roar of a man came from upstairs.

Ran Tengxiao sat on the sofa in the living room, his gaze shifting from his phone screen to the second floor. An old man in a white coat stumbled down the stairs, his forehead skinned, looking utterly embarrassed.

“Master Xiao, my medical skills are not good enough to treat Young Master’s…hidden ailment. I must take my leave.”

The old man dashed away as if being chased by a vicious dog, his short legs surprisingly quick.

Ran Tengxiao couldn’t help laughing, “He’s only twenty-one, but he’s already ruined his body? Wasn’t he fine before? Could it be related to that fall from the horse last time?”

Ye Jian’s mouth twitched, but said nothing in response to this sensitive topic.

Rumors swirled around Manjiangzhou that Ran Tenghui was having difficulties in the bedroom and was seeking treatment from various doctors. For a man, this was a humiliation worse than death.

But for others, this was great news to rejoice over.

There was no better punishment for a scumbag than impotence.

At that moment, Lin Feng entered the room and whispered, “Chief, someone is causing trouble at Bojinlai Casino.”

Ran Tengxiao yawned, “You can handle it. Do you really need me to step in?

Lin Feng continued, “You’ll definitely be interested in the person causing the trouble.”

Ran Tengxiao raised an eyebrow and looked at him.

“That kid?”

Lin Feng silently nodded.

Ran Tengxiao slowly stood up, “Such a beautiful night shouldn’t be wasted..”
