Chapter 114 - 114: 069 Imitation (Fourth update)

“Mingyi, tell Madam Zhou the truth. Your sister obviously gave you this bowl of wontons to eat, but you refused.”

Mingyi shrank back and quickly hid behind Madam Zhou, poking her little head out and lisping, “Yes, sister, you wanted to give it to me, but I didn’t want to eat it. Madam Zhou, don’t blame Xiangxiang sister.”

These words made it even worse. Especially because they came from a cute five-year-old little girl, who would doubt her?

Now Zhu Xiangxiang was portrayed as an adult bullying a child over a bowl of wontons, even forcing the other party to speak up for her.

Zhu Xiangxiang almost lost her breath in frustration.

Madam Zhou already liked Mingyi’s cleverness and cuteness, treated her as her own granddaughter, and believed her without a doubt. She couldn’t help but look at Zhu Xiangxiang and said, “Miss Xiangxiang, Mingyi is just a child. It’s just a bowl of wontons.”

As she spoke, she squatted down and rubbed Mingyi’s head, “Don’t be afraid, my little one. Grandma will cook for you, we can eat as much as we want.”

Mingyi bit her lip, her eyes sparkling and adorable, winning Madam Zhou’s soft heart over.

“Thank you, Madam Zhou.”

Madam Zhou led Mingyi into the kitchen, wondering in her heart how much more outrageous Miss Xiangxiang could become, even bullying a five-year-old child.

Suddenly, Mingyi turned her head and made a face at Zhu Xiangxiang. Not a hint of the pitiful look she had just a moment ago was left.

Zhu Xiangxiang: ..

To think she was actually played by a little girl, how infuriating!

Lin Qing stared at the cup of flower tea on the table, her eyes gradually dppnpnino

“I’ll send you a video. See if you recognize the girl in it, and if you could find her that’d be even better.”

Zhu Xiangxiang opened the video. The scene was set on a subway where an old man suddenly fainted. A crowd gathered around, taking photos and videos, but no one stepped forward to help him.

A girl emerged from the crowd, calmly administering first aid to the old man, ignoring the well-meaning advice from others to not get involved.

Throughout the video, the girl kept her head down, and the low pixel quality made it impossible to make out her face clearly. However, Zhu Xiangxiang immediately recognized her; it was Zhu Mingjing.

Having lived with Zhu Mingjing for over three months, no one knew her better than Zhu Xiangxiang.

She asked, “Why are you looking for this person?”

Zhou Ling replied, “Do you know Shen Zhou?”

Zhu Xiangxiang was taken aback, “The CEO of Shenzhou Group? He’s the richest man around.”

Zhu Wentao was nothing compared to him.

Zhou Ling said, “Exactly. The old man in the video is Shen Zhou’s father, who suddenly had a stroke on the subway and was saved by a stranger. After the incident, Mr. Shen Zhou wanted to find this girl, but there’s been no news. I had to go through a lot of trouble to find out this information. If we can find this girl, it will mean a great favor for Mr. Shen Zhou. You Imow that your father is going through a difficult time now, but if we can get Mr. Shen Zhou’s help, this crisis will be safely passed.”

Zhu Xiangxiang in disbelief said, “She saved Mr. Shen Zhou’s father?”

Her voice was a bit shrill due to the excitement.

Zhou Ling sensed something, and calmly smiled without any hint of emotion.

“Mr. Shen Zhou is someone who values loyalty and filial piety. Saving his father is equivalent to saving him. I heard that if he finds this girl, he intends to adopt her as his goddaughter. What a lucky girl. ‘ Zhu Xiangxiang’s breath was caught in her throat.

Her head was buzzing.

“What’s wrong? Do you know her?”

Zhu Xiangxiang took a deep breath, “My phone’s almost out of battery, I’ll talk to you later.”

She hung up and sat down on the sofa.

What were the odds that she would recognize the person in the video? She watched the video back and forth several times, absolutely sure that it was Zhu Mingjing. In the video, she had just returned to the Zhu family and was still wearing the somewhat ugly short bob wig with bangs. Even if Zhu Mingjing turned to ashes, Zhu Xiangxiang would still recognize her.

If Mr. Shen Zhou found out and adopted her as a goddaughter, Zhu Mingjing would have even more status over her.

Zhu Xiangxiang’s first thought was that she absolutely couldn’t let Shen Zhou know, and she certainly couldn’t let Zhou Ling know either, lest she inform Shen Zhou to curry favor with him.

Zhu Xiangxiang’s mind flashed with a daring idea.

What if she were the one who saved Elder Theodore Shelby?

Nobody knew it was Zhu Mingjing, and even Zhu Mingjing herself might have forgotten it.

Once she became Shen Zhou’s goddaughter, being the real daughter of the Zhu family would mean nothing to her. By then, Zhu Mingjing would never be able to act arrogantly in front of her again..
