Even back then, no one was so devoted to her, almost causing Zhu Xiangxiang to cough up blood in envy.
âMr. Li, Iâm sorry for the trouble. These two kids donât have much of a foundation. Please take extra care of them,â said Zhu Xiangxiang. âMadam Zhu, have these two children really never studied before?â Mr. Li asked.
Lin Qing hesitated for a moment, âNo, they havenât even attended a single day of school.â
Mr. Li laughed, âThen these kids are geniuses! They understand everything at once, especially Ming Ti. He has a photographic memory, heâs going to be incredible in the future.â
Lin Qing was startled, thinking: Are geniuses mass-produced?
After sending Mr. Li off, Lin Qing entered Ming Jingâs room, where she was playing with blocks with Ming Yi. The once cold room, similar to a show room, had become more lively due to the children.
Lin Qing stood at the door, watching. Ever since her juniors arrived, she had been smiling more, finally not resembling a cultivator. She seemed more human.
Ming Jing saw Lin Qing standing at the door, whispered to Ming Yi, and stood up to walk over.
âI just sent Mr. Li off and wanted to tell you that he praised both kids for being smart and quick learners. Your two juniors are just like you, both geniuses.â
Lin Qing sighed inwardly, thinking about what kind of extraordinary person her master must be to teach such intelligent disciples.
Ming Jing smiled, âThank you for your trouble.â
âBetween mother and daughter, donât be so polite. From now on, your two juniors can live with us peacefully. Since they are your sisters, they are my daughters as well.â
As Ming Jing looked into Lin Qingâs earnest eyes, she thought of her own ill-fated senior sister, her gaze softening.
âCome in, let me check your pulse again,â
Lin Qingâs face lit up, and she hurried in.
After checking her pulse, Ming Jing thought for a moment. Lin Qing asked in a soft voice, âHow is it? Has it gotten worse?â
Ming Jing glanced at her, âAs long as you take your medicine on time, there wonât be any major problems.â
Lin Qing breathed a sigh of relief, âThatâs good.â Itâs time for her to see some things clearly.
âMadam Zhou, is there any food? Iâm a little hungry.â
Madam Zhou looked at Zhu Xiangxiang and laughed, âWerenât you talking about losing weight during the day, saying you absolutely couldnât eat late night snacks?â
Zhu Xiangxiang sighed, âYou need energy to lose weight.â
Madam Zhou laughed helplessly, âAlright, Iâll prepare a night snack. How does chicken soup wonton sound?â
âGreat, I love chicken soup wontons.â
Zhu Xiangxiang looked at the small fire on the stove, âIs this the herbal tea for my mother?â
Madam Zhou leaned against the fridge and replied without looking back, âYes, itâs Ms. Ming Jingâs recipe. Itâs carefully proportioned for beauty and longevity.â
âReally?â
Madam Zhou didnât notice the cold light flickering in the girlâs eyes in the hidden corner.
Zhu Xiangxiang sat in the living room holding her wontons, while Madam Zhou went upstairs to bring Lin Qing her tea.
She looked at the wontons in her bowl, frowning slightly.
At that moment, a little figure came down the stairs, sniffing the air, âSmells so good.â
Zhu Xiangxiang squinted her eyes, smiling and waving, âMing Yi sister.â
Ming Yi scampered over, âXiangxiang sister.â
âAre you hungry?â Zhu Xiangxiang asked gently.
Ming Yi obediently nodded.
Zhu Xiangxiang pushed a bowl of wontons in front of her, âHere, eat.â
Zhu Xiangxiang curled her lip, âBut Xiangxiang sister isnât a stranger, right? Look, if we both donât say anything and your second sister isnât here, no one will know, right? These wontons smell so good, itâd be a waste not to eat them. Didnât your second sister teach you that one should cherish every grain of food, as someone worked hard for it?â
Ming Yi furrowed her brow in confusion, then said, âBut this bowl of wontons is yours. If you canât finish them and theyâre wasted, thatâs your fault, not mine.â
Zhu Xiangxiang choked, staring at the innocent face before her. Truly worthy of being Ming Jingâs disciple, equally infuriating.
At this moment, Madam Zhou came down from upstairs, smiling, âIs Yi Yi hungry too?â
Yi Yi nodded, âGrandma, I want wontons.â
While blinking her eyes at Zhu Xiangxiangâs bowl, her aggrieved expression seemed to blame Zhu Xiangxiang for not letting her eat.
Zhu Xiangxiang: ..
Little girl, why are you looking at me like that? People might misunderstand!
