Chapter 697: 358 Cause and Effect (Part One)
“Auntie, your husband has been kneeling outside the room for an hour now. Granny is not seriously hurt, and after all, he is still her biological son. Even if she’s angry, she’ll eventually forgive him.” Lin Ya whispered persuasively.
Thinking of Ming Xin, Lin Qing’s expression softened considerably, and she asked: “Where is Zhu Xiangxiang…No, Zhao Xiangxiang?”
Madam had already changed her surname, so from now on, she would be called Zhao Xiangxiang. She was no longer worthy of being a member of the Zhus.
Lin Ya pursed her lips, “Xiangxiang is also kneeling at the door.”
“Let her get lost! No amount of begging will help. In my eyes, she’s just a white-eyed wolf.” Lin Qing couldn’t help but get angry when she thought about tonight’s events.
Lin Ya hurriedly advised, “Auntie, don’t be angry. Now that Ming Xin is back, you must take care of yourself. There are still many good days ahead for you and Ming Xin. It’s not worth getting angry over people like her.”
It had to be said that Lin Ya’s words were on point, Lin Qing nodded and agreed: “You’re right, it’s not worth getting upset over someone like her. If she wants to kneel, let her kneel.”
The manager had prepared the best presidential suite in the hotel. Granny Zhu was settled in the bedroom, Ming Xin and Ming Jing accompanied her inside, Bo Yuxun was there too, while Ming Chen and Ming Ti were holding Ming Yi and watching TV in the living room.
Lin Qing looked at the three young girls and couldn’t help but feel teary-eyed. She sat down beside them and stroked Ming Chen’s hair.
The little girl wasn’t wearing a wig; after a year, her hair had grown quite a bit and was black and shiny like silk, really beautiful.
Ming Chen turned her head and looked at Lin Qing, smiling: “Auntie Lin, why are you crying?”
As she said this, she pulled out a tissue and handed it to her.
Lin Qing took it and wiped her tears, and couldn’t help but ask, “Auntie wants to ask you, is your senior sister, Ming Xin, good to you all?”
“Of course, she is.” Ming Chen’s soft and sweet voice was adorable.
“My elder sister is the best sister in the world. She has taken care of us since we were young. It can be said that we all grew up under her care. In our hearts, she is like our mother. Now she has found her mother, and we are truly happy for her. She had a hard life before, and I hope Auntie Lin can be good to her in the future; she is really the best, kindest person in the world.”
Lin Qing’s held back tears broke free, and she covered her face, turned her back, and sobbed.
Ming Chen blinked, turned her head, and exchanged glances with Ming Ti.
She herself was still a child, and it was hard to believe how she managed to take care of three younger children, enduring so much suffering from a young age.
She owed so much to this child.
Ming Xin glanced at Bo Yuxun; the man was carefully feeding Granny Zhu with water. And he then took Ming Jing to the balcony and carefully closed the balcony door.
“How did you suddenly become Ran Bowen’s daughter? This is just unbelievable.”
On the open-air balcony at midnight, it was freezing cold, and Ming Xin’s voice was slightly trembling. However, the young girl opposite her remained calm and composed; shrouded in the night, her face was obscured, hidden as if behind a veil of mist.
Ming Jing didn’t directly answer her question and said gently, “Now that you’re back to the Zhus, Madam Zhu will make it up to you for all her guilt and shame. Zhu Xiangxiang won’t be able to make any more waves, and from now on, it will only be good days.”
Ming Jing turned around, leaving Ming Xin with her back view: “You should stay in the Zhus’ house in place of your senior sister.”
Ming Xin, or should I say, Ye Zhen, was slightly startled, “You…are you really willing to let me stay in the Zhu family in place of Ming Xin?”
“All things in this world work by fate. You and your senior sister must have a special connection. Therefore, it’s better to let everything take its course.”
“Can’t you stay together? The Rans… The Rans are like a den of wolves and tigers…”
Ye Zhen had also heard some rumors about the Rans; to her, they were even scarier than wolves and tigers. Ming Jing, a delicate young girl as beautiful as a flower, would be devoured alive if she entered there.
“I have to go to the Rans.”
Ming Jing turned around, brushed off the cold dew from her skirt, and smiled slightly: “I suppose Madam Zhu has been waiting for quite a while; you should go see her.”
Ye Zhen subconsciously grabbed Ming Jing’s hand: “I… I’m a little scared.”
Ming Jing patted her hand gently: “Don’t be afraid, I’ll be with you.”
Ye Zhen nodded, took a deep breath, and followed Ming Jing off the balcony.
Granny Zhu was already asleep, Bo Yuxun stood up and saw the two people coming in and gestured towards the door.
The three of them quietly left the bedroom.
After closing the bedroom door, Bo Yuxun looked at Ming Jing and said: “Granny Zhu’s health is no longer a problem. As long as she’s taken care of properly, her weak stomach, caused by eating some crab, will recover quickly. It seems that Ms. Ming Jing is quite skilled in caring for others.”
