Both of them cursed his blindness in their hearts, ignoring Ming Jing, his own sister, and getting close to a white-eyed wolf like Zhu Xiangxiang. Was there something wrong with his brain? Of course, the two of them only dared to complain in private.

Zhu Shaodan spat and said, “Bullshit, there’s no way my sister could be that kind of person. If I hear anyone spreading rumors again, I’ll beat them up.”

“Alright, Young Master Dan.”

“It must be Zhu Mingjing’s doing...” cursed Zhu Shaodan.

Ji Dagui straightforwardly retorted, “Young Master Dan, Mingjing isn’t that kind of person. Don’t slander her.”

Zhou Xiang hurriedly tugged at his sleeve. Wasn’t it asking for death to say that in front of Zhu Shaodan?

Zhu Shaodan stared at him, asking with a gloomy smile, “What did you say just now?”

As if not understanding Zhou Xiang’s hint, Ji Dagui stubbornly said, “Young Master Dan, I’m saying Ming Jing is a very kind person. If you had watched the show “Three Meals a Day,” you wouldn’t say such things. It’s an insult and blasphemy to her.”

Zhu Shaodan laughed out of anger, “Well, it turns out there’s a hardcore fan of Zhu Mingjing hiding by my side.”

Zhu Shaodan looked at Zhou Xiang, “Tell me, do you like Zhu Mingjing?”

Zhou Xiang coughed, “Young Master Dan, I can’t lie against my conscience. It would be disrespectful to you, though I don’t know what deep hatred you have with Mingjing, I really like her a lot... If I could be her brother, I would wake up laughing in my dreams...”

Zhou Xiang moved away from Zhu Shaodan after speaking.

Zhu Shaodan kicked the air angrily and shouted, “Get out of my sight.”Updated chapters at novelhall.com

The cafeteria was crowded at noon.

Ming Jing had just sat down with her food when Zhao Qin took the seat opposite her. Then Li Jiaojiao and Sun Qingqing arrived too.

Four people filled the table.

Everyone else stared at the table, not daring to breathe.

When did Ming Jing start hanging out with Zhao Qin and Li Jiaojiao?

“I heard about the rumor. Zhu Xiangxiang, as I expected, I had a reason to look down on her. Thank you for helping to rid the world of such evil,” Li Jiaojiao patted Ming Jing’s shoulder, treating her like a close friend.

Ming Jing furrowed her brows, “It wasn’t me.”

Li Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows, “Fine, fine, it wasn’t you. Anyway, from now on, you’re under my protection. If you need anything, just say the word.”

Ming Jing narrowed her eyes. Li Jiaojiao suddenly felt a tingling in her hand, and like she had been shocked, she removed her hand from Ming Jing’s shoulder.

“What’s the deal with your brother? Instead of giving his eyes to blind people, he actually sided with Zhu Xiangxiang. This kid is naturally rebellious. After school, let’s give him a lesson for you,” said Li Jiaojiao, full of righteousness.

“No need.”

Zhao Qin took a deep breath, “In what way is she more beautiful than me?”

Xie Jue said, “Actually, I have only seen her from afar and haven’t seen what she really looks like. However, I’ve heard many rumors about her, and my grandma and mother really like watching the show she participated in. They discussed how her outer beauty would fade with age, but inner beauty is the true beauty.”

Zhao Qin sneered, “Are you implying that I’m not as kind-hearted as Ming Jing?”

Xie Jue shook his head, “Ancient people said beauty lies in the bone, not the skin. You are also beautiful. Why compare yourself with others? Everyone is unique and has their own value. Comparing yourself with others will only get you deeper into trouble.”

After saying that, Xie Jue lowered his head and continued working on his test papers without looking at Zhao Qin again.

Zhao Qin looked at herself in the mirror, questioning if, in a man’s eyes, Ming Jing was really more beautiful than her.

Unable to compare in appearance, height, or grades, her family background was only slightly better than Ming Jing’s.

Zhao Qin sighed.

At that moment, Xie Jue added, “Don’t be discouraged. As long as you study hard and mend your ways, even if you can’t surpass Ming Jing, many people will still like you.”

No male student in school had ever dared to pursue Zhao Qin.

Upon hearing Xie Jue utter those words so earnestly, Zhao Qin stared at his serious eyes and snapped, “Get lost.”

Xie Jue pushed up his glasses and lowered his head with some grievance.

While Ming Jing was cold and ethereal like a fairy, she was determined to be as passionate as fire, believing she could set his heart ablaze.

Zhao Qin secretly vowed in her heart.

“Dad?” When Zhu Xiangxiang returned home after school, she saw Zhu Wentao in the living room.

She immediately rushed over excitedly.

Haven’t seen him for several days, Zhu Wentao looked much paler and thinner. He had stubble and dark circles under his eyes.

Compared to the spirited, handsome Zhu Wentao of the past, the man in front of her seemed to have aged ten years.

“You’re back.” Zhu Wentao smiled and rubbed Zhu Xiangxiang’s head with a loving and gentle look on his face.

Granny Zhu had an unhappy expression, while Lin Qing turned her head away, making the atmosphere awkward and silent.

Zhu Shaodan greeted his father stiffly and went upstairs.

There wasn’t much father-son affection between them, and now he was expected to put on a show of love with Zhu Wentao; he just couldn’t do it.

“Shaodan.” Zhu Wentao called out with a hoarse voice. Zhu Shaodan didn’t look back and continued walking.

“Miss is back.” Uncle Wen’s respectful voice came from the courtyard.

The smile on Zhu Wentao’s face disappeared instantly without a trace.
