From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

Chapter 719: 370 Chessboard (First Update)

Something unusual must indicate a hidden mystery. Could there be something going on between Ming Jing and Bo Yuxun?

“When did you become such a gossipmonger?” Ming Jing asked coolly.

Zheng Qing touched his hair, which was heavily coated with hair wax, and flashed what he thought was a charming smile.

“Have you forgotten what I do for a living? Digging up people’s secrets is my specialty. No one in Jiangzhou can hide their affairs from my watchful eyes.”

“Really? I thought you spent every night sleeping under other people’s beds.” Ming Jing left a snarky remark and got into her car, leaving Zheng Qing behind.

“Heh, you’re finally capable of talking back. This mysterious Dr. Bo must be something special. I’ll have to find a chance to meet him.” Zheng Qing stroked his chin thoughtfully.

“Boss, we have news about Xue An.” A voice came over the earpiece.

Zheng Qing turned around with a grin, but his eyes were icy cold.

“Tell me.”

“He was last seen on Huai’an Road in Jingzhou, getting into a black Toyota sedan. The license plate was fake and we couldn’t find any information on the owner, but according to the GPS system, the car was once within 50 meters of your location.”

Zheng Qing hooked up the corner of his mouth: “I see. And where is Xue An now?”

“After that, he went to a plastic surgery clinic in Jingzhou and disappeared without a trace.”

“Send me the location of that clinic.”

It seemed that Xue An had undergone plastic surgery.

Night Hawk, what are you up to?

——

“Ming Jing, do you want to come in? My mother’s not doing well lately, and the last incident hit her too hard.”

The car stopped outside The Zhus’ gate, and Ming Xin looked back at Ming Jing before getting out.

Ming Jing shook her head: “Let her take her medicine on time, and don’t worry about grandma. I’ll take care of her.”

Ming Xin sighed, got out of the car, and walked into the Zhus’ residence.

“Let’s go back.” Ming Jing instructed the driver.

“Your cousin is back.” Lin Ya, wearing an apron, peeked out from the kitchen and glanced at Ming Xin’s side.

“Didn’t your cousin Ming Jing come back with you?”

“She went back to The Rans.” Ming Xin rolled up her sleeves and walked into the kitchen: “What are you cooking? Can I help?”

“Your aunt is not feeling well, so I’m making her favorite shrimp wontons. This recipe is a secret passed down through the Lin family. Cousin, let me teach you because you’re one of us.”

Ming Xin smiled: “Sure.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“First, remove the veins from the shrimp. To pick the freshest shrimp, select those with a bluish-black hue on their backs. After buying live shrimp, soak them in water with a little vinegar and baking soda to preserve their texture when cooking…”

Lin Ya explained patiently, and Ming Xin listened attentively. Soon, their relationship grew closer.

“By the way, I read that you’re starring in Director Yu’s new movie. Congratulations, you’re going to be a Lady Yu now.”

“Thank you, cousin. It was just a lucky coincidence.”

“The entertainment industry is complicated, and I was worried for you as a young girl. But with Ming Jing looking after you, no one would dare to bully you.” Lin Ya spoke sincerely. She had read many comments online, and becoming a Lady Yu was no easy feat. Ming Jing must have worked hard behind the scenes for Ming Xin.

Frankly speaking, Ming Xin was not exceptionally pretty or shapely. Ming Jing would be better suited to be a star.

“Junior is intelligent and capable, and I have much to learn from her. I’ve just returned to Jiangzhou and essentially have no clue what’s going on. Junior might not always have the time to help me, so I hope you can guide me on familial matters.”

Lin Ya replied helplessly: “Cousin, don’t be so formal. I only have my aunt and you as relatives. Your problems are mine, too. Just focus on your acting and trust that I’ll take good care of your mother.”

Ming Xin smiled: “Cousin, you’re so kind.”

Lin Ya patted her hand: “The wontons are done. Let’s take them to your mother. She’ll be so happy to see you.”

——

“Cousin, my mother has realized her mistake. Please let her out.” Zhao Qin pleaded bitterly, but Ran Tengxiao remained unmoved.

Not until they heard Xiao Hua’s excited voice from outside, announcing, “Miss is back.”

Zhao Qin immediately straightened up, wiped away the unshed tears, and put on the proud appearance befitting a lady.
