Translator: 549690339
Uncle Wen returned to the Zhu’s ho late at night, and as soon as he got off the car, he saw Zhu Xiangxiang waiting for him at the garage door.
“Miss Zhu.”
Zhu Xiangxiang glanced around: “Co with .”
The garden was quiet, and Zhu Xiangxiang asked, “How was it?”
Uncle Wen handed a USB flash drive to Zhu Xiangxiang: “The photos are all inside. Ms. Ming Jing has a senior sister nad Ming Xin, who is about the sa age and has been sick and secluded. I didn’t see her in person. There are three junior sisters, two 9-year-old twins, and the youngest is 6. They usually rely on the villagers at the foot of the mountain for a living, besides that, there’s nothing unusual.”
“Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Wen.”
“Let’s not ntion other things; that mountain was really hard to climb, high and steep, my old waist almost broke. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed that Ms. Ming Jing grew up in such a poor environnt… it was too difficult…”
“In addition, I’ve heard many stories about Ms. Ming Jing from the villagers at the foot of the mountain. She is a kind child, has helped many people, and is respected by the villagers as a bodhisattva.”
“The reason I asked you to make this trip was to compensate them a little more. They are Ming Jing’s sisters, and thus my sisters too. Uncle Wen, please find soone else to send them supplies once a month, and deduct the funds from my foundation.”
When she was twelve, Lin Qing set up a foundation for her, which regularly transferred money to her as a growth fund. “Miss Zhu is so kind-hearted, and it is also Ms. Ming Jing’s good fortune.”
“Uncle Wen, this is what I should do.”
Back in her room, Zhu Xiangxiang turned on her computer, plugged in the USB flash drive, and browsed the photos.
The nunnery was indeed dilapidated, the place was not big, but the ancient trees were dense and the quiet atmosphere was reminiscent of a paradise.
In the photo were three young girls dressed in nuns’ attire, two are 8 or 9 years old and one is 5 or 6 years old, all photographed from the back and their faces were unclear.
Zhu Xiangxiang stared at the photos for a long ti, unable to resist the thought that if she hadn’t been mistakenly carried away, she would be the one living a quiet life among the ancient Buddhas in the nunnery now.
That kind of life was terrifying to even think about.
For the first ti, Zhu Xiangxiang felt a sense of relief.
“This dress is perfect for Miss Zhu. The soft, pale yellow highlights her icy skin and jade bones, giving her a fresh and noble temperant. It is no wonder she is the too ladv of Tianczhou. trulv well-deserving.” The designer. who brought the dress, began an eloquent cascade of praise.
This custom-made gown was indeed perfect for Zhu Xiangxiang, and Lin Qing nodded in satisfaction: “My Xiangxiang naturally looks good in anything she wears, but your craftsmanship is also exceptional.”
The designer laughed, “By the way, there’s another one. Could you please invite the other Miss Zhu to try it on?”
The designer took out another gown.
Lin Qing frowned, and Zhu Xiangxiang said, “Give it to . I’ll take it to Ming
Jing. She doesn’t like eting strangers.”
“She’s quite arrogant. Call her down for .”
The designer maintained his composure, thinking that this real daughter didn’t seem to have much status in the Zhu family and must lack emotional intelligence.
Zhu Xiangxiang reluctantly went upstairs to call Ming Jing.
The designer saw a tall, thin girl following behind Zhu Xiangxiang as they ca downstairs. The girl was wearing a white ankle-length house dress that floated gracefully as she walked.
She was noticeably taller than Zhu Xiangxiang, making her appear even thinner. Her collarbones were clearly visible.
The designer often mingled with supermodels, and this girl’s figure t the golden proportions of a supermodel. Even a simple, loose white dress had a different flair when worn by her.
As she approached, the girl’s skin was very white, like it hadn’t seen sunlight for years. Her downcast eyelashes, calm beauty, and restrained deanor were all captivating.
The designer lanted that such a beautiful and dignified girl was ruined by her current hairstyle. If she changed it, she would absolutely be a stunning beauty.
“This must be Ms. Ming Jing. She really has Mrs. Zhu’s youthful grace. She will definitely be a beauty when she grows up.”
Lin Qing smirked, “This is a dress tailored for you. Go and try it on.”
The designer hurriedly stepped forward, “I’ll accompany Ms. Ming Jing. This dress is a bit difficult to put on and needs so help.”
After Ming Jing changed and reappeared, Lin Qing casually glanced at her, then suddenly widened her eyes and instinctively frowned.
“It’s not suitable. Change to another one.”
The designer’s praise stuck in his throat, and the smile on his lips froze.
Zhu Xiangxiang laughed and ca over, “I think it looks great, very suitable for
Ming Jing. Let’s go with this one.”
Lin Qing frowned, “It’s too eye-catching. At Madam Jiang’s tea party, we should be clear about who the protagonist is.”
The designer inwardly complained, how is this considered eye-catching, she hasn’t even changed her hairstyle yet? What kind of thinking is this Mrs. Zhu? Which mother does not want her daughter to be beautiful and glamorous? Yet she’s afraid of overshadowing others? She does not have this attitude towards Zhu Xiangxiang! Is this a double standard?
Ming Jing glanced indifferently at Lin Qing, not saying a word. But the indescribable coldness and mockery hidden in her eyes made Lin Qing feel suffocated for so reason.
“Mom, this is Ming Jing’s first public appearance since her return. She must be beautiful and impressive. It will also bring glory to our Zhu’s family. Don’t you agree?”
Lin Qing hesitated, “Alright, let’s just leave it at that.”
The designer hurriedly said, “Miss Ming Jing, I can recomnd a stylist for you. She can co to your ho on that day and help you with your styling. Here’s her business card.”
“Thank you”
In order to appear in the best possible condition, Zhu Xiangxiang practiced light fasting for three days and hardly ate any staple food, so she felt like she was floating.
Ming Jing, on the other hand, ate lunch as usual. Zhu Xiangxiang noticed that Ming Jing never seed to gain weight no matter how much she ate, possibly because of her long-term vegetarian diet, but there was no poor complexion that showed on her face.
Zhu Xiangxiang was different, as she tended to gain weight easily and looked like soone who gains weight even from drinking water. To maintain her goddess-like image over the years, she hardly ate any staple food and didn’t know what fried chicken tasted like or ever had a bite of dessert. Although she was wealthy and had status, she could not enjoy worldly delicacies and sotis felt a little depressed.
Looking at Ming Jing’s slender figure, jealousy was inevitable.
Especially when Ming Jing put on the custom gown, with light makeup and a suitable hairstyle, and reappeared, sothing inside Zhu Xiangxiang shattered..
