Chapter 48: 048 Bell Series

Li Jiaojiao glanced at it, at first disbelieving, then as if she understood something, looking as if she just got it.

Everyone was curious, wondering what kind of person would be so despicable.

Upon seeing Jiang Jinchen’s look, Zhu Xiangxiang startled in her heart. Looking at Li Jiaojiao jumping up and down, she got a belated hint of what was happening and instinctively wanted to slip away.

At this moment, someone suddenly grabbed her arm and whispered, “Don’t run. If you do, you won’t be able to clear your name.”

Zhu Xiangxiang, who is still just a sixteen-year-old girl, is genuinely thrown into a panic by such an incident. She looked at the woman beside her, gentle and composed, and subconsciously regarded her as a lifeline.

She sobbed out, “What should I do?”

Zhou Ling took note of the girl’s frantic grip on her arm, her skin was quite pale, the spots where she held onto it turned red instantly.

She gently patted the back of Zhu Xiangxiang’s hand, her soft, mellow voice carried a soothing effect, alleviating the fear and unease in Zhu Xiangxiang’s heart bit by bit.

“The person who creates the problem is the one who has to solve it.”

She looked at the silent girl in the crowd, her head dropped slightly, revealing her graceful neck line.

She bore the nobility and elegance of a swan and possessed the clarity and calmness of those who have gone through hardships.

Lin Qing instinctively wanted to stop Li Jiaojiao. At the very least, she couldn’t let her make a scene in public. “Perhaps it was someone’s idea of a joke. It’s lucky that Miss Li was precautious, and no severe consequence was caused. Let’s drop the matter, and avoid disturbing everyone’s peace.”

Li Jiaojiao scoffed, “Madam Zhu, I’m afraid you have the answer in your heart already. Speak up. Let’s see to what extent a mother can be biased.”

Lin Qing’s face darkened, warningly glaring at Li Jiaojiao, “Miss Li, it’s better to spare people when possible.”

The crowd sensed something was off, and a sharp voice suddenly rose,

“Sister-in-law, since you know who it is, just say it. Otherwise, it’s not fair to

Ming Jing. If the schemer succeeds, can you imagine what will happen to Ming Jing? Ming Jing is your daughter too.”

Lin Qing shot an angry stare at Zhu Wenjie.

Zhu Wenjie, who loved adding fuel to the fire, walked over to Ming Jing, held her hand with a face of distress, ‘My niece, she’s been so unfortunate. She was originally the legitimate daughter, who’d think she would be replaced by an illegitimate child, and spent 16 hard years in a broken temple. Just when her life was starting to look up, she was framed by jealousy. My poor niece, why is your life so hard? Even your own mother isn’t on your side. I, as your aunt, really can’t bear to see this.”

Ming Jing gently patted Zhu Wenjie’s hand and faintly smiled, “Wealth is in heaven’s hands, and each person has their own fate. I don’t feel wronged, so aunt, why do you worry for me?”

Originally, everyone felt sympathy for Ming Jing after hearing Zhu Wenjie’s comments. But now seeing the calm and composed young girl, they couldn’t help but feel admiration.

It’s rare to see such a mature and clear-headed young girl at her age.

Zhu Wenjie was taken aback, thinking, you sure know how to play the good guy.

“Since Madam Zhu knows who this person is, it means she definitely knows this person. Miss Ming Jing has just returned to Jiangzhou, and she herself is calm and low-ke, unlikely to make enemies. So, from the point of motivation or vested interest, who do you think would like to frame Miss Ming Jing?” Li Jiaojiao suggested gently.

Everyone looked at one another, obviously there was such a person.

“What was your impression of Miss Ming Jing at first? Raised in the countryside? Coarse and unrefined? Illiterate? Stupid and vulgar? Unfit for elegant circles?”

The crowd felt a bit awkward, especially those gossiping ladies. Seeing the slender young girl standing in the crowd, they really felt embarrassed. If she is considered stupid and vulgar, then all the socialites in Maniianzzhou

should go jump in the river.

Zhu Xiangxiang, the number one socialite, stood next to her, looking completely overshadowed. Wait, where is Zhu Xiangxiang?

“There was one person who thought the same too. Of course, this was just her own assumption, but when Ming Jing returned to the Zhus and she saw her in person, those who harbored such thoughts found themselves wrong, grievously wrong. Some people are naturally favored by heaven, or it should be said, even if they fall among the common people, a princess is still a princess. While those who usurp others’ nests, can never change their inherent maliciousness. ”

Li Jiaojiao suddenly looked towards a certain point in the crowd, and sternly said, “Zhu Xiangxiang, am I right?”

The crowd exploded with chatter, making way. Zhu Xiangxiang stood alone, her face pale as a sheet.

Bai Ziyan shook his head with a smirk on his face, when you looked carefully, he was clearly deriving pleasure from someone else’s misfortune, “Women, oh women, your name is jealousy.”

Even though she had mentally prepared herself, when actually faced with this moment, Zhu Xiangxiang couldn’t help feeling terrified, her hands were trembling.

“It’s her? My God, that’s unimaginable….”

“I guessed it was her long ago. Only she has the motive to do this. Actually, I can understand her feelings. The real daughter of the family has returned, and she is so excellent, how could she be indifferent? I just didn’t think she would use such a vicious method….”

“The education of the Zhus is a complete failure. In contrast, their daughter who was lost has an outstanding temperament…”.

Listening to the unrestrained discussions around her, Zhu Xiangxiang went paler. She clenched her fist, standing up straight.

Li Jiaojiao scoffed, “Who are you putting on this innocent act for? Jiang Jinchen has already traced the ID, why don’t you come over to see who it is?”

Zhu Xiangxiang said with a clear face, “Believing in a wrongdoing gives you an excuse to incriminate.”

“You have the nerve to do it but not admit it? Zhu Xiangxiang, you are a coward! The evidence is conclusive, and you cannot deny it.”

As matters progressed this far, Lin Qing had no choice but to step forward and asked Zhu Xiangxiang, “Tell mom, did you do it?”

Zhu Xiangxiang looked up unbelievably, her lips trembling with emotion. “Mom, do you not believe me either?”

Lin Qing was in a dilemma, she knew Xiangxiang, this child didn’t have the nerve, but only she had the motive, and now there was even evidence…

“Sister-in-law, you should stop covering for her. Uncultured brutes are incapable of gratitude. You looked the wrong way when the outstanding Ming Jing is your own daughter but doted on this illegitimate child instead. Haven’t you heard of the story of the farmer and the snake? I think this one is even more vicious than the snake. She must know how important reputation is to a girl, so she must be both stupid and wicked.”

Zhu Wenjie was elated, hopping around, almost wishing to directly beat Zhu Xiangxiang to death.

Zhu Xiangxiang remembered Zhou Ling’s words; sure enough, she was redundant in this family. She was nothing more than a tool for the Zhus to gain a good reputation. Once she conflicted with Ming Jing, she would unconditionally be the one abandoned.

Licking her lips, Zhu Xiangxiang looked at the all along quiet Ming Jing, “Ming

Jing, do you think I did it too?”
