Shen Ke walked back and whispered something in Shen Zhou’s ear.
Shen Zhou glanced at Ming Jing with a smile. “Your father is downstairs.”
Ming Jing indifferently said: “I don’t have a father.”
Understanding her attitude, Shen Zhou waved his hand: “Send him away.”
Shen Ke left again.
“Zhu Group’s stock market is unstable, they have started financing again to raise funds, their future is uncertain, and the company is on the verge of collapse.” Shen Zhou took a sip of tea and said casually.
Jiao Mei, Song Yinzhang, and Zhao Heng were shocked and looked at Ming Jing in unison.
Shen Zhou, who steered a huge business empire, had a keen and accurate vision. Whether it was trading stocks or investing, he had never made a mistake. If he said so, there must be a reason for it.
Ming Jing, the party concerned, was unusually calm, not even twitching her eyelashes.
“It’s what he deserves.”
Was this really a daughter’s evaluation of her father? Did she know that without the title of Miss Zhu, she would no longer be in the spotlight?
Jiao Mei said, “Miss Zhu, he’s your biological father. Even if he’s wrong, you can’t be so heartless.”
Ming Jing gave her an indifferent glance that sent a chill down Jiao Mei’s spine for no apparent reason.
“There’s no inherent hierarchy between parents and children, no one party has the power to control the other, and both are individuals with independent personalities. Treat each other with mutual respect, and we know that children are debts, and there is no debt without reason. Embrace the good and resolve the bad. When the debt is paid, don’t create more negative karma.”
As a traditional mother, Jiao Mei couldn’t agree with Ming Jing’s calm words.
The girl was too cold and rational, even seeing familial love so thoroughly. What kind of heart did she have?
She quickly drank some tea to calm herself down.
Shen Zhou approvingly nodded: “Master’s insight is profound, and we ordinary people are no match for it.”
Ming Jing smiled: “Mr. Shen, don’t make fun.”
Shen Zhou raised his eyebrows: “I’m serious. Master’s realm of thought is beyond the reach of mere mortals like us. I look forward to learning from the Master in the future.”
Jiao Mei glared at Shen Zhou. Was Mr. Shen crazy? Was this something to learn from? He’d better not end up alone and forsaking his family.
Ming Jing looked up and studied Shen Zhou’s face.
“You have a life of great fortune and success, Mr. Shen, but you will experience some ups and downs in your later years. With the help of a noble person, you will turn danger into safety, but you’ll be unable to attain the one you’re looking for.”
Shen Zhou was stunned, his pupils trembling slightly.
Jiao Mei wanted to laugh. This girl was starting to fool around – quite a smooth talker.
“Miss Zhu, can you also read faces?”
“Just some basic knowledge.”
“Can the master have a look at me?” Jiao Mei asked.
Ming Jing glanced at her and said, “Madam, your lower jaw is round and full, a sign of wealth, but the break in your eyebrow indicates a shortened life. Your upturned eyelids show your strong determination. If you can open your heart a little more, good luck will come your way.”
Jiao Mei sneered internally. So, her narrow-mindedness was affecting her lifespan? What a sharp tongue.
Ming Jing furrowed her brow, “Madam, your forehead is dark. I fear you might encounter some misfortune soon. Be cautious of water.”
If it wasn’t for Shen Zhou’s presence, Jiao Mei would have flipped the table on the spot.
“Children should not talk about strange tales. Miss Zhu, you’re really good at telling jokes, but I’m a staunch materialist and believer in science. As a modern young woman, you shouldn’t indulge in such feudal superstitions.” Jiao Mei
sneered.
Ming Jing smiled faintly: “Mountains are not high but are considered holy if inhabited by immortals, waters are not deep but considered sacred if inhabited by dragons. Believing is itself a kind of power, Madam. Disbelieve if you wish.”
Jiao Mei didn’t believe her in the slightest. She had initially thought that Ming Jing was an extraordinary girl with elegant conversation, and it was advisable for Song Yinzhang to be friends with her. But now, thinking about Ming Jing’s heartless and cold-blooded nonsense, Jiao Mei resolved to warn Song Yinzhang to keep a distance from her so as not to be led astray.
How could Ming Jing not notice the contempt in the other party’s eyes? She didn’t bother to explain.
She used to be a staunch materialist too until she woke up after death and faced all the gods and Buddhas. It was then that she realized how tiny human power could be.
There were indeed some things in this world that science could not explain, perhaps Buddha really does exist.
Zhao Heng eagerly asked, “What about me? Am I going to be rich and powerful?”
Ming Jing smiled and said, “You will have a life of hard labor.”
“Ah? That’s so miserable! You must be lying to me..” Zhao Heng adamantly refused to believe
