Chapter 532: 249 Settling Accounts (First Update)
The sweet and pleasant voice of the airport announcer echoed through the hall, reminding passengers of flight J2508 to Jiangzhou that it was time to board.
Xie Zhen stood up with his carry-on bag, suddenly pointing to a girl nearby and said, âIsnât that Zhu Xiangxiang?â
Zhao Heng, who was listening to music, lifted her eyelids at the mention of this familiar name, and a cold smirk appeared on her lips.
If it isnât Zhu Xiangxiang, who else could it be?
Zhao Heng scoffed disdainfully and turned away.
Xie Zhen muttered, âIt really is her. What is she doing in Jingzhou?â
Before Ming Jing returned to Jiangzhou, Zhu Xiangxiang was already famous. She was the school beauty of Shengde High School, the pearl of the Zhu family, and the number one lady of Jiangzhou. Her school, Yi High School, was not far from Shengde High School. At that time, several handsome basketball players from Yi High School had pursued Zhu Xiangxiang for a while. Although they didnât succeed in the end, the name Zhu Xiangxiang was well known within Yi High School.
Of course, this all changed after Ming Jing returned to the Zhu family.
Zhu Xiangxiangâs glory was gone. Xie Zhen stared at her for a few moments, sneering at what used to be the number one lady of Jiangzhou. Self-proclaimed, huh? She couldnât even compare to one of Ming Jingâs hair strands.
Zhu Xiangxiang also noticed Xie Zhen. She had only attended the training camp for a day, and all the attention was on her and Ming Jing, so she hadnât paid attention to anyone else. However, she recognized Zhao Heng, who was a big shot at Yi High School.
It seemed that these two must be the students who accompanied Ming Jing to Jingzhou for the Winter Camp.
The other three made it into the national training team, while these two stopped here and returned to Jiangzhou.
Zhu Xiangxiang pursed her lips and followed them with her luggage in tow.
Jingzhouâs cold was bone-chilling, while Jiangzhouâs was merely cool.
Nothing had happened to the Zhu family during her absence, and everything was going according to plan in Jiangzhouâs peaceful days.
When she insisted on going to Jingzhou to be on a show and enter the entertainment industry, Lin Qing couldnât stop her and just let her go.
Now that she had voluntarily quit and obediently returned to school, Lin Qing thought she had been bullied in Jingzhou and was outraged, saying sheâd avenge her.
Zhu Xiangxiang sniffed and threw herself into Lin Qingâs arms, âMom, Iâm sorry...â
âSilly girl, donât apologize to your mother. Itâs your mother who didnât protect you well.â
Zhu Xiangxiangâs eyes turned red with emotion, and she asked, âWhere are dad and Shaodan?â
Lin Qing became angry as soon as she mentioned them, so Zhu Xiangxiang guessed their relationship hadnât improved and quickly changed the subject, âIs Shaodan out messing around again? Iâll go find him.â
Zhu Xiangxiang called Shaodanâs henchmen, Ji Dagui and Zhou Xiang, to ask where Shaodan was. They hesitated and stammered at first, but with some threats and bribes, the honest Ji Dagui finally spilled the beans.
Bojinlai Casino.
The notorious den of extravagance in Jingzhou.
Zhu Xiangxiang couldnât believe Shaodan was so reckless. Not only had he squandered his own life, but he also dragged two classmates into the mess. If Lin Qing found out, sheâd break Shaodanâs legs in fury.
Zhu Xiangxiang didnât tell Lin Qing, changed her clothes, went out, and took a taxi to the Bojinlai Casino.
Truthfully, despite its fame, Zhu Xiangxiang had never been to Bojinlai Casino, and she didnât even know which way the entrance faced.
But as soon as she mentioned it to the driver, the experienced driver chuckled and gave her an intrigued look.
