Lin Qing didnât bother to explain and turned to leave.
Xiao Ying clenched her teeth, finally seeing how biased Madam was. Even at this point, all she could think about was Zhu Xiangxiang.
What kind of spell had Zhu Xiangxiang cast on Madam?
Thinking about being fired by Madam and unable to serve her young lady any longer, her heart ached.
She left dejectedly with her head down.
As the two figures disappeared into the elevator, Zhao Xiaohui slowly came out from the stairway entrance.
âMom,â Deng Yang happily called out when he saw her.
Zhao Xiaohui walked over with a thermos, âWhat are you drawing?â
âIâm drawing sister.â Deng Yang showed Zhao Xiaohui the half-finished drawing.
Such appearance and temperament belonged to none other than Zhu Xiangxiang, the universally praised young lady of the Zhus.
Zhao Xiaohui curled her lips: âYangyang, your drawing is excellent.â
âJust now, Sister Xiao Ying came and brought me chicken soup. Sister is so nice. I really like her a lot,â Deng Yang said with an adoring face.
âMom, when will sister come to see me?â Deng Yang asked expectantly while holding Zhao Xiaohuiâs hand.
Zhao Xiaohui tried to hold back her tears, unwilling to disappoint her son, âYour sister has to go to school, and high school is very demanding. With such good grades, she definitely has to work harder than others. When she has time, sheâll come to see you, Yangyang.â
âSister is so amazing, I want to get better soon, so I can go to school with her.â
âMom, can my illness be cured?â
Zhao Xiaohui patted Deng Yangâs head: âOf course, it can be cured. Your sister donated her bone marrow to you, so you must repay her kindness in the future. Without her, you wouldnât be here now.â
Deng Yang nodded, âI understand, mom.â
Zhao Xiaohui turned away, holding back tears that threatened to burst.
Upon entering the house, Zhu Xiangxiang felt an oppressive atmosphere. Lin Qing was sitting on the living room sofa, and when she saw her, she stood up and said, âFollow me,â then went upstairs.
Zhu Xiangxiang followed uneasily, wondering what had happened.
Upon entering the room, Lin Qing turned to her and asked sharply, âIs it true about Deng Yang?â
Zhu Xiangxiangâs heart skipped a beat, immediately understanding where Lin Qingâs anger came from.Visitt for the latest updates
She never expected to keep this a secret from Lin Qing forever, especially with the rumors swirling around school. It was only a matter of time before Lin Qing found out, but she didnât expect it to happen so soon.
âIf you have anything to say, just say it in front of everyone,â Ming Jing said indifferently.
âWasnât it you who spread the rumors about Xiangxiang at school? I told you, Xiangxiang wonât fight with you. Why canât you live with her?â
Zhu Shaodan raised an eyebrow, and glanced at Ming Jing with a gloating look.
The rumors were very detailed, and anyway, Zhu Xiangxiangâs reputation was ruined. According to the analysis of the beneficiary, Zhu Mingjing was the only suspect.
Letâs see how she explains it.
âWhat does this have to do with Ming Jing? You come up and directly accuse her, when did you become so unable to tell right from wrong?â Granny Zhu sat on the wheelchair pushed by Madam Zhou, speaking coldly.
âMom, do you know how much damage this has done to Xiangxiangâs reputation?â
Granny Zhu interrupted her, âYou ask Zhu Xiangxiang if she did those things or not. Since she did them, donât blame others for talking. Moreover, do you have any evidence to prove that Ming Jing spread the rumors?â
âXiangxiang was deceived by Zhao Xiaohui. Zhao Xiaohui called her back to donate bone marrow for Deng Yang. She even drugged Xiangxiangâs water, planning to perform the surgery while Xiangxiang was unconscious. Is Xiangxiang not pitiful?â
Granny Zhu sneered, glancing at Zhu Xiangxiang, âYou really know how to make excuses, completely winning over your mom. You have some skill.â
Zhu Xiangxiang said: âGranny, I know you donât like me. But for this matter, I was really deceived by my mom. Iâm not unwilling to donate bone marrow to Yangyang, I just canât stand the deception. I never thought it would cause such an uproar in school... How am I to show my face in the future...?â
Her words trailed off into a sob, tears streaming down her cheeks, a pitiable sight.
Granny Zhu was not swayed by her act, snorting coldly, âBlatant sophistry.â
Zhu Wentao had been listening for a while and finally pieced the story together. He sighed and looked at Ming Jing, âMing Jing, Iâm not blaming you, but itâs not right if you did this. Xiangxiang is your sister, and if her reputation is ruined, how can you benefit? You are both daughters of the Zhus. Oneâs honor is everyoneâs, and so is oneâs shame. Why donât you understand this?â
Zhu Shaodan sneered disdainfully, âSome people are simply selfish. They donât really consider us family.â
Everyone argued back and forth, and the blame was pinned on Ming Jing.
âAre you done?â Ming Jing asked indifferently.
She paused her prayer beads, slightly lifting her eyes. Her dense, long eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings. In an instant, she emanated a captivating beauty.
The entire hall fell silent for a moment.
Ming Jing looked at Xiao Ying and asked calmly, âWho hit you?â
Xiao Ying covered her face, aggrievedly glanced at Lin Qing, âIt was Zhu Xiangxiang.â
Ming Jing nodded, âHit her back.â
Xiao Ying hesitated, and everyone, including Lin Qing, was stunned.
Zhu Xiangxiangâs face turned pale. She pointed at Ming Jing incredulously, âSheâs just a servant, and I hit her. How dare you let her hit me back? You canât humiliate me like this just because you have a grudge against me.â
Ming Jing ignored her, sitting upright on the sofa with a calm expression, her prayer beads gently stroking her fair fingertips.
âServant? Your humiliation is quite feudal. Xiao Ying...â
