From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables Chapter 29 – 029 Committing Sins

Chapter 29: 029 Committing Sins

“That’s right, she’s not close to me, but she’s close to others. Has she even called me ‘mom’ since she returned?”

“Look at what you’ve done and said. Would a child dare to be close to you? You don’t even reflect on your actions. Let me tell you, Ming Jing is not an ordinary girl. She’s very smart, otherwise she wouldn’t be able to win Madam Jiang’s favor. If you really do what you said today, you’ll be pushing this daughter away for good.”

“Think about it seriously. What if you didn’t have prejudice against her from the beginning, and treated her with sincerity? Children can tell whether a person is really good to them. When her younger brother is in trouble, she would help without you telling her. But by morally kidnapping her now, you’re only pushing her further away.”

Granny Zhu stood up with her cane, “I can’t eat anymore. Think about what I said and make your own decision.”

She then left the dining room and returned to her bedroom.

Lin Qing frowned, thinking if she had really done something wrong.o

Zhu Xiangxiang sighed, “Granny has a point, but Shaodan can’t wait. If I could turn back time, I would treat Ming Jing with twice the kindness. Even if it means leaving the Zhu family, I would do it, as long as I can save Shaodan.”

With a sympathetic pat on Zhu Xiangxiang’s shoulder, Lin Qing said, “You are the Zhus’ young lady, and no one has the right to drive you away. You’re right, regardless of whether I owe Ming Jing anything, the most pressing issue is to save Shaodan. We can talk about everything else later.”

“But… will Ming Jing be unhappy if we do this?”

“We can’t worry about that now. Besides, Shaodan is her own brother. Can she really stand by and watch him die?”o

As expected, Lin Qing’s words were met by a rejection.

Suppressing her emotions, she said earnestly, “Ming Jing, please, your brother

Shaodan needs you. He’s still so young. If he goes to court, his whole life will be ruined.”

“It’s precisely because there’s a mother like you, always cleaning up after him, that he’ll never grow up. This will serve as a perfect lesson for him.” Ming Jing coldly responded without looking at her.O

“How can I have such a cold-blooded daughter?” Lin Qing slammed her chopsticks against the table, stood up and pointed at Ming Jing, “Since you’ve come back, I’ve fed you, clothed you, and treated you like a princess. Now when your brother is in trouble, and I only ask you for a favor, but you refuse. Do you even consider yourself part of this family?”

“Mom, calm down, let’s not force Ming Jing. We’ll find another way.””I’m asking one last time, will you help or not?”

Ming Jing glanced at Lin Qing. Her jet-black eyes seemed like a shadow-filled abyss, exuding a chilling aura that sent shivers down the spine.

Lin Qing involuntarily shrank back, her anger intensifying once she realized what just happened.

What was she afraid of? Just a little girl.

“You’ve brought this on yourself.” Ming Jing stood up, not looking at them again, and went straight upstairs.

She hadn’t touched the mushroom soup throughout the entire meal.

“This family is cursed. Why did I even bring you back?” Lin Qing grabbed a bowl and smashed it on the ground.

The crash scared the maids hiding nearby, who realized that Ms. Ming Jing had just dared to defy Madam.

Her life at home would not be easy from now on.

The monthly exams were approaching.

The whole school was immersed in an atmosphere of nervousness. The exams lasted two days, with the last subject scheduled for the weekend.

Everyone was discussing plans for where to go and have fun the next day. When Ming Jing returned to the classroom to pack her schoolbag, all eyes were on her.

Without a word, Ming Jing returned to her seat. Tao Xingxing whispered, “The online forums and QQgroups are all placing bets on whether or not you can make it onto the grade honors list this month. I believe you can do it. I’ve bet all my money on you. Don’t let us down.”

Ming Jing silently packed up and left the classroom.

As soon as she left, the class exploded.

“Place your bets, everyone! Can our true heiress Ming Jing get onto the grade honors list this month?” A boy excitedly called out.

Zhang Jingwen sneered, “Grade honors list? How ambitious! Do you really think she’s a top student?”

Wang Lin disagreed, “That’s not certain. After all, everyone has seen Ming Jing’s efforts. What if she makes it? You’ll be eating your words then.” Wang Lin felt the impact of the bathroom incident greatly. Ming Jing was not an ordinary person, so why didn’t Zhang Jingwen just accept it and move on?

Recently, the hot topic at school centered around Ming Jing and Zhu Xiangxiang, the true and fake heiresses. The forums were filled with discussion threads, and a previous betting thread reemerged after the monthly exam.

“Ming Jing, wait for me.”

Just as Ming Jing stepped out of the school gate, Charles Gao caught up with her, drenched in sweat.

“There’s my basketball game tonight. Do you want to come and watch?” Charles Gao asked, looking tall and handsome in his purple and white jersey.

Bunches of girls excitedly stared at him as they left school in groups. When they saw him talking to Ming Jing and thought about the recent rumors surrounding the two, their eyes stabbed Ming Jing with jealousy.

Charles Gao eagerly awaited Ming Jing’s answer.

“Sorry, I have other things to do.” Ming Jing left without looking back.

Charles Gao watched her receding figure, standing there long after she had disappeared into the distance.

“Stop staring, or you’ll turn into a ‘husband-waiting stone’ Situ Lin teased, putting his arm around Charles Gao’s neck.

“I never thought our unattainable Charles Gao would ever feel frustrated. It’s rare. I think Ming Jing was sent by heaven to subdue you. If you don’t change your ways, you might just fall for her.”

Charles Gao snorted, “I don’t mind.”

Back at the basketball hall, Jiang Jinchen emerged after changing his jersey. He glanced at the empty space behind Charles Gao and couldn’t help but feel disappointed.

“Hey Jiang, you won’t believe it. Charles is really serious this time. I just can’t understand what special charm that girl Ming Jing has, to make our Charles so attached.”

Jiang Jinchen glanced at him, dribbling the ball, and said indifferently, “If you put as much energy into playing basketball as you do gossip, we wouldn’t have lost to Yi High last time.”

With a leap, he made a perfect shot.

Situ Lin muttered, “That’s because you didn’t play, Jiang. This time we’ll crush them..”
