From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

Chapter 580: 287 Money Fanatic (First change)

Jiangzhou is warmer than Jingzhou, flavored with the salty, humid scent of the sea breeze.

Unlike the direct, bone-chilling cold in Jingzhou, it’s more discreet and cunning, gently boiling you like a frog in warm water, catching you off guard when you least expect it.

I’ve lived in Jiangzhou for many years and have grown accustomed to its weather.

As soon as I walked out of the airport, a sense of familiarity hit me. It was as if I had just returned to spring.

Uncle Liu came over with respectful greetings, the Rolls-Royce parked nearby.

“Miss, you’re finally back. The Madam and Sir have been talking nonstop about how much they’ve missed you. Hurry and come home with me.”

“Hmph, I bet they’re the happiest when I’m not around. You yourself can go back, I’m going to spend some days with my friend.” Liu Muxue, arm in arm with Ming Jing, was ready to leave.

Uncle Liu looked in surprise at the young girl standing next to Liu Muxue. Initially, he was shocked by the mention of a friend from his Miss, but when he noticed the girl’s extraordinarily outstanding appearance and demeanor, he was even more surprised.

Because the young Miss had a weak constitution since childhood, the Madam and Sir have been extra indulgent, leading her to develop a capricious and willful personality. No one in Liuxian Town could control her, and she had no friends in school. According to her own words, they were all a bunch of opportunists, unworthy to be her friends. Now she was actually acknowledging someone as a friend..If Madam and Sir were to see this, they would definitely be moved to tears.

Uncle Liu, however, didn’t press her. The Miss finally has a friend. He couldn’t mess this up.

“Then let Uncle Liu give you a ride home, and may I know how to address this Miss?” Uncle Liu asked politely.

Ming Jing smiled faintly and bowed her head,”No need to be polite, Uncle Liu, just call me Ming Jing. My chauffeur is here to pick me up too. Muxue will spend a few days with me, don’t worry and let Madam and Sir know, I will take good care of her.”

This girl spoke elegantly and thoughtfully, showcasing her good upbringing. Uncle Liu nodded in satisfaction, “Then I will have to trouble you, Ms. Ming Jing.”

Liu Muxue waved her hand, “You should head back, don’t hang around here aimlessly.”

Xiao Fang followed them closely pushing two large suitcases.

As if something occurred to her, Liu Muxue stepped back a few paces, and whispered mysteriously into Uncle Liu’s ear, “Tell me, has that person been behaving at home these past days?”

Uncle Liu was a little startled. When he realized who she was referring to as “that person,” he couldn’t help but laugh.

“Miss, rest assured. The young master is thorough and meticulous in his work. Even the most demanding elders are full of praises for him.” Speaking of Liu Jingyun, Uncle Liu’s eyes unconsciously glowed with pride.

Liu Muxue hmphed, “He’s the best at pretending, all of you have been deceived by him.”

“Miss, your misunderstanding of the young master is too deep. He really is the best person I’ve met.”

Liu Muxue mumbled, “He’s also really good at bewitching the hearts of the people, alright. You can leave now.”

Uncle Liu looked at Liu Muxue’s receding figure and sighed.

The Miss’ misunderstanding of the young master is so profound. It’s so unfair to the young master.

As Uncle Liu was about to turn around, a man dressed in black walked past him. The man was dressed in strangely old-fashioned clothes, and Uncle Liu couldn’t help but take a second glance.

“Is it that cold? Wrapped up like a dumpling, people from big cities sure are odd.”

The man hailed a cab and got in. The driver, speaking with a Jiangzhou accent, asked, “Where to?”

The man removed his sunglasses and looked out the window.

Ming Jing and Liu Muxue were saying goodbye to Song Yinzhang and got into a black sedan.

The sun in Jiangzhou is pretty blinding. The man lifted his hand to shield his eyes.

Underneath the mask, the corners of his lips slowly lifted.

“Jiangzhou High School.”

His name was Cen Ning, a graduate from a teaching university with five years of teaching experience but was expelled from school for offending the leaders.

Through the introduction of a university classmate, he came to apply for a job at Jiangzhou High School.

Thirty years old, divorced, single, without children.

What an impeccable resume, who wouldn’t be without fault?

The man’s fingers lightly tapped on the car window. The cold wind rushed in, causing the driver to shrink his neck and quickly roll up the window.

Accidentally catching a glimpse in the rearview mirror, the driver came face to face with a pair of pitch-black, deep eyes that were quietly staring at him. Even in broad daylight, it sent an inexplicable chill running down his spine.

The driver got distracted, nearly rear-ending someone at a red light. He swerved the steering wheel sharply, causing the car to turn abruptly and veer off the original route.

Nervously swallowing his saliva, the driver hastily wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a tissue.

“Why… why does it feel so hot?”The window that was just closed was reopened.

The cold wind whooshed in, drying the sweat at the nape of the driver, cooling him so much that his body shuddered.

The man turned his head towards the window, his fingers lightly resting on the car window.

That suffocating pressure dissipated, and the driver secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

“Zhou Xue?” A cold sneer slipped out from the corner of the man’s lips, his pitch-dark eyes unfathomably deep.

Let’s start with you then.

——

Half a month had passed since Ming Jing left, and Jiangzhou was calm, no different from when she left.

Today was Friday and the children had not yet been dismissed from school.

Han Suwen found out that Ming Jing was back and had brought a friend. She had prepared a lavish dinner in advance.

Liu Muxue examined the house with hands on her hips and couldn’t help but nod: “Not bad, not bad, a lavish flat with a fantastic river view, but I don’t like living in the city, it feels like being trapped in a box. Our little villa at home is better.”

Liu Muxue stood on the balcony. Looking over from more than twenty floors up, she could see the bustling city beneath, giving her a feeling of superiority and audacity.

Ming Jing poured a cup of hot water for her, “I have three juniors, the oldest is nine, the youngest is five. They are all well-behaved, don’t bully them.”

Liu Muxue gave her a glance, “In your eyes, am I such a bully? You think I won’t even spare children?”

“What do you think?” Ming Jing received a phone call and left.

Liu Muxue grumbled, “Discrimination, downright discrimination.”

At this moment, the door lock sounded, and a girl in her early teens charged in frantically, shouting: ‘Ming Jing… Ming Jing where are you?’”

Seeing a person standing on the balcony, the girl rushed over without hesitation and hugged her waist, “Ming Jing, I missed you so much, I thought of you while eating, doing my homework, memorizing English words, even when I was dreaming, I was thinking of you.”

The girl started crying as she spoke.

The person in front of her was taken aback, jumped aside, and sharply exclaimed: “Your tears are spilling on my skirt, this is Chanel’s limited edition….”

Liu Muxue touched a sticky transparent liquid, became paralyzed and questioned, “What… what is this stuff? Snot?”

She was completely thrown off and glared furiously at the baffled girl in front of her.

Before Ming Chen could recover from the shock that this person was not Ming Jing, she was scared awake by the fiercely glaring eyes.

This was her home, she had nothing to be afraid of, with hands on her hips she asked, “Who are you? Where is Ming Jing? Why are you in my house?”

Liu Muxue rushed to the bathroom and scrubbed her hands with soap several times, almost until her skin was raw.

Ming Ti saw all this, walked over and said to Ming Chen, “She should be Ming Jing’s friend.”

But this woman was incredibly rude. How could Ming Jing be friends with someone like this?

Liu Muxue came out of the bathroom and looked at two identical little faces in front of her. She chuckled, “You two are Ming Jing’s juniors, right? Let me introduce myself. I am Liu Muxue, your senior’s best and only close friend. You might hate me, but I’m sorry, we might see each other often in the future, so please bear with me. After all, you’ll get used to it, haha.”

Seeing the woman’s arrogance, Ming Chen clenched her fist and suddenly put on a sweet smile, “So you’re Sister Liu, as Ming Jing’s friend, that makes you my sister as well. Sister Liu, you’re really pretty, like a doll.”

The little girl’s eyes were bright and innocent, making the person she complimented somewhat embarrassed.

Liu Muxue coughed, as the saying goes, you don’t hit someone who’s smiling at you. The little girl was so pretty, sweet, and above all, Ming Jing’s junior, she couldn’t go too far when at someone else’s house.

Liu Muxue took off the gold bracelet from her wrist and stuffed it into Ming Chen’s hand, then took off her earrings and gave them to Ming Ti, “Well, it’s our first meeting, and I don’t have any good gifts for you. I wore these accessories just once, and they’re all limited editions. There won’t be any duplicate pieces, you can play with them. Consider them gifts from your sister at our first meeting.”

This was too extravagant, giving gold bracelets at a first meeting. Although the bracelet was thin, the emerald set in it was simply top-notch, carefully carved with traditional craftsmanship, definitely a special piece.

Ming Chen’s eyes lighted up instantly, but she sweetly said, “This won’t do. Ming Jing doesn’t allow us to take things from others, especially such valuable items, we can’t accept.”

Wow, this little girl was truly sensible, hundreds of times better than those naughty kids.

Liu Muxue said sternly, “I’m giving it to you, there’s no taking it back. This is something between me and your sister. She has no say in it. Humph.”

Ming Chen pursed her lips, somewhat reluctantly, “Well then, I will hold onto it for now. But, Sister, if Ming Jing disagrees, I will return it to you.”

Behind Liu Muxue, Ming Chen smiled in a way that revealed only her teeth, sneakily stroking the gold bracelet. There were only two words in her bright eyes.

Money-mad.

Ming Ti almost couldn’t bear to watch.
