Chapter 532: 249 Settling Accounts (First Update)
The sweet and pleasant voice of the airport announcer echoed through the hall, reminding passengers of flight J2508 to Jiangzhou that it was ti to board.
Xie Zhen stood up with his carry-on bag, suddenly pointing to a girl nearby and said, “Isn’t that Zhu Xiangxiang?”
Zhao Heng, who was listening to music, lifted her eyelids at the ntion of this familiar na, and a cold smirk appeared on her lips.
If it isn’t Zhu Xiangxiang, who else could it be?
Zhao Heng scoffed disdainfully and turned away.
Xie Zhen muttered, “It really is her. What is she doing in Jingzhou?”
Before Ming Jing returned to Jiangzhou, Zhu Xiangxiang was already famous. She was the school beauty of Shengde High School, the pearl of the Zhu family, and the number one lady of Jiangzhou. Her school, Yi High School, was not far from Shengde High School. At that ti, several handso basketball players from Yi High School had pursued Zhu Xiangxiang for a while. Although they didn’t succeed in the end, the na Zhu Xiangxiang was well known within Yi High School.
Of course, this all changed after Ming Jing returned to the Zhu family.
Zhu Xiangxiang’s glory was gone. Xie Zhen stared at her for a few monts, sneering at what used to be the number one lady of Jiangzhou. Self-proclaid, huh? She couldn’t even compare to one of Ming Jing’s hair strands.
Zhu Xiangxiang also noticed Xie Zhen. She had only attended the training camp for a day, and all the attention was on her and Ming Jing, so she hadn’t paid attention to anyone else. However, she recognized Zhao Heng, who was a big shot at Yi High School.
It seed that these two must be the students who accompanied Ming Jing to Jingzhou for the Winter Camp.
The other three made it into the national training team, while these two stopped here and returned to Jiangzhou.
Zhu Xiangxiang pursed her lips and followed them with her luggage in tow.
At that mont, her phone rang in her bag. She let go of the suitcase handle to fish out her phone, and in that instant, her suitcase slid away.
Zhu Xiangxiang hurriedly chased after it.
Catching up to her suitcase, she quickly answered the call, “Mom… I’m about to board.”
“Ming Jing is also in Jingzhou. Did you see her?”
Zhu Xiangxiang hesitated for a mont, “I did. She made it into the national training team, and she still has to take exams for three more days.”
“I saw it on the news. She’s incredible. They say she can be directly admitted to Huaqing University now. Our family has produced a prodigy.”
Lin Qing’s tone was full of pride, and Zhu Xiangxiang gave a self-mocking smile.
There was no point in dwelling on it, she could never compare to Ming Jing anyway.
“I’ve got to go, they’re announcing boarding now.”
She hung up the call imdiately.
Although she was prepared, when faced with the reality, she still felt uncomfortable deep down.
Outside the large floor-to-ceiling windows was the vast tarmac, with airplanes leaving the ground slowly, flying towards the blue sky and the wide-open world.
After getting off the plane, Xie Zhen and Zhao Heng each returned to their hos, while the Zhu family’s driver picked Zhu Xiangxiang up.

Although Jiangzhou was also cold, it was much more comfortable than Jingzhou.
Jingzhou’s cold was bone-chilling, while Jiangzhou’s was rely cool.
Nothing had happened to the Zhu family during her absence, and everything was going according to plan in Jiangzhou’s peaceful days.
When she insisted on going to Jingzhou to be on a show and enter the entertainnt industry, Lin Qing couldn’t stop her and just let her go.
Now that she had voluntarily quit and obediently returned to school, Lin Qing thought she had been bullied in Jingzhou and was outraged, saying she’d avenge her.
Zhu Xiangxiang sniffed and threw herself into Lin Qing’s arms, “Mom, I’m sorry…”
“Silly girl, don’t apologize to your mother. It’s your mother who didn’t protect you well.”
Zhu Xiangxiang’s eyes turned red with emotion, and she asked, “Where are dad and Shaodan?”
Lin Qing beca angry as soon as she ntioned them, so Zhu Xiangxiang guessed their relationship hadn’t improved and quickly changed the subject, “Is Shaodan out ssing around again? I’ll go find him.”
Zhu Xiangxiang called Shaodan’s henchn, Ji Dagui and Zhou Xiang, to ask where Shaodan was. They hesitated and stamred at first, but with so threats and bribes, the honest Ji Dagui finally spilled the beans.
Bojinlai Casino.
The notorious den of extravagance in Jingzhou.
Zhu Xiangxiang couldn’t believe Shaodan was so reckless. Not only had he squandered his own life, but he also dragged two classmates into the ss. If Lin Qing found out, she’d break Shaodan’s legs in fury.
Zhu Xiangxiang didn’t tell Lin Qing, changed her clothes, went out, and took a taxi to the Bojinlai Casino.
Truthfully, despite its fa, Zhu Xiangxiang had never been to Bojinlai Casino, and she didn’t even know which way the entrance faced.
But as soon as she ntioned it to the driver, the experienced driver chuckled and gave her an intrigued look.
