Chapter 610: 317 Last Wish (Second Update)
âMiss, the security office called to say that a Mr. Ran is here to see you.â Han Suwen said softly, standing at the door.
âLet him go back. Iâm not seeing anyone during my recovery.â A calm, gentle voice came from inside, neither hurried nor slow, a warm current surging in the cold weather.
Han Suwen replied and went downstairs.
Many people want to meet the young lady lately. Madam Zhu and her mother-in-law had been turned away several times, let alone this Mr. Ran.
Hearing Han Suwenâs instructions, the security office called back and told them to refuse all visitors who asked to see the young lady.
A low-key luxury car was parked at the green belt at the entrance. Ye Jian hurried over with an umbrella and got into the car.
âNow it is difficult to meet Ms. Ming Jing, I didnât expect our Master Xiao to also be turned away.â Ye Jian teased, but sensing the wrong atmosphere in the car, he immediately closed his mouth.
The man glanced at the high-rise buildings inside the community, flicked the dust off his coat with his fingers, and said indifferently, âLetâs go.â
No sooner had the car left than another one arrived and was stopped by security.
The car window rolled down, revealing the pretty face of the woman: âBrother security, Iâm here to see Ming Jing.â
Another person looking for Ms. Ming Jing? The security officer frowned and said ruthlessly, âSheâs not seeing anyone. She told me herself.â
âWhatâs wrong with you? You havenât even talked to Ming Jing. How do you know she wonât see us? If you donât believe me, just call her and tell her that her best friend Tao Xingxing is here to see her. Letâs see if sheâll let us in. If she doesnât, Iâll twist my head off and let you use it as a soccer ball.â A cute head with a bun hairstyle poked out from the back seat and silenced the security guard with her words.
Resigned, the security guard made the call, which Han Suwen answered again. This time, after two minutes, the call was approved.
The security guard was amazed. These were the only people who could see Ming Jing out of the many who had come in recent days. It seemed they really were Ming Jingâs best friends.
The car slowly entered as the security raised the barrier, and Tao Xingxing playfully hummed, âI told you Iâm Ming Jingâs best friend, she would definitely let me in.â
Wu Jiaqi said, âAlright, donât flaunt it, we know youâre close to Ming Jing.â
âOf course, Ming Jing wonât see anyone but me. That shows how important I am to her.â
Wu Jiaqiâs face looked worried, but the excited Tao Xingxing did not notice.
They parked in a parking spot following the security guardâs instructions and got out of the car with bags full of nutritional products. A young girl came over, âMiss Tao, the young lady asked me to come down to meet you. Please follow me.â
Tao Xingxing and Xiao Ying had met in the hospital. Tao Xingxing giggled, âDonât call me Miss, it sounds so weird. Just call me Xingxing.â
Xiao Ying smiled, âLetâs go.â
Wu Jiaqiâs expression faltered, and she subconsciously clenched her fists, stealing a glance at Ming Jing.
The young girl sat there calmly, gentle like a spring painting.
Could it be just her imagination?
âAunt Wu, youâve raised Xingxing very well. Youâre an excellent mother. Sheâs righteous, optimistic, and lively. Thereâs not a trace of dirt or filth in those clear eyes of hers, and she has a heart as transparent as crystal. But...â
Ming Jingâs tone changed, and although it was still gentle, Wu Jiaqiâs heart started pounding.
âToo rigid is easily broken. You want to protect your daughter, but can you protect her for the rest of her life? Secrets are secrets because one day they will be revealed to the world.â
âCrash.â The cup fell to the floor, and Wu Jiaqi hurriedly squat down to pick it up, but a shard pierced her finger.
The young girl gently wiped the blood from her fingertip and patiently disinfected and applied a bandage.
âWho... who are you?â
âIt doesnât matter who I am. You just need to know that I will protect Xingxing and let her live happily and carefree forever, without being affected by filth and dirt.â
Wu Jiaqi looked blankly at the gentle and beautiful young girl in front of her, her heart as desolate as the unending rain outside the window, swept over by a cold wind.
âWhen... when did you find out? What is your purpose?â
âMadam, donât be nervous. Xingxing is innocent. I will fulfill her fatherâs last wish and protect her forever.â
Wu Jiaqiâs eyes widened in shock, full of terror and disbelief.
Ming Jing opened her palm and handed something over, closing her hand into a fist.
Tao Xingxing came out and saw the two squatting on the ground, and Wu Jiaqi looked even stranger, as if she had lost her soul. She couldnât help but ask: âWhat are you two whispering about?â
Ming Jing smiled gently: âAunt Wu accidentally knocked over a cup, and her finger was cut by the broken glass. I was helping her bandage the wound.â
Tao Xingxing immediately rushed over in a panic: âMom, did you hurt your hand? Is it serious?â
Wu Jiaqi took a deep breath and put on a smile again: âItâs nothing, just a small injury... â
Until they left Ming Jingâs house, Wu Jiaqi remained somewhat out of sorts.
Walking in the underground garage, with Tao Xingxing hopping and skipping ahead, Wu Jiaqi raised her right hand and slowly opened her fingers.
Seeing the object in her palm, she instantly covered her mouth and nose, tears streaming down her face.
