Chapter 668: 346 Hubbub (Fourth Watch)_2
You’re so proud, why would you give up your dignity for a woman?
——
“Snap”, the glass in his hand slipped and fell to the ground; Bo Yuxun suddenly came back to his senses and squatted down to pick it up.
His fingers trembled uncontrollably.
Jiang Chunlan squinted his eyes and a sneer formed at the corner of his mouth.
He waved his hand, and the waiter hurriedly crouched down: “Sir, let me take care of this. Don’t cut your fingers.”
Bo Yuxun squatted there, for a long time without coming back to his senses.
It was quiet all around, and he heard his own heart beating wildly.
Illusions appeared in his brain, some fuzzy images flashed by, his breath suddenly quickened, he couldn’t help but grab the shattered glass on the ground, but he didn’t notice, blood flowed from his fingers and dripped onto the carpet, disappearing.
The waiter exclaimed, “Sir, your hand is bleeding?”
Bo Yuxun seemed not to hear, just squatting there dazedly.
Until the noise around came, everyone started talking about this Miss Zhu.
Striking looks, compassionate heart, exceptional intelligence and relaxed demeanor, she was God’s most outstanding creation and the unique view in the world.
“Welcome everyone to our grandmother’s birthday party. On behalf of the Zhu family, I would like to thank you all for coming,” said Lin Qing with a smile, standing there with the grace of a mistress, and coping comfortably.
At first, everyone was attracted by Ming Jing, and when Lin Qing spoke, they realized that there was an attractive young girl standing beside her. At first, they thought it was Zhu Xiangxiang, but upon close inspection, the girl was much more beautiful than Zhu Xiangxiang, her eyes resembling Lin Qing’s. They looked like mother and daughter standing together.
Someone speculated that this might be Lin Qing’s illegitimate daughter.
What a ridiculous family the Zhus were.
And the fake heiress was nowhere to be seen. Had she lost favor?
Granny Zhu held Ming Jing’s hand, her eyes squinted with laughter, “Last year, the whole Jiangzhou knew that our Zhu family found our real heiress who had been lost outside. This child has been back for almost a year, I won’t say how excellent she is, everyone can see it. With such a good granddaughter, our Zhu family’s ancestors are smoking green smoke.”
That was true, everyone knew that whichever family Ming Jing belonged to, that family’s ancestors would definitely be smoking green smoke.
The Zhus were really lucky.
Ming Jing stood beside Granny Zhu with her eyes downcast, silent and composed from beginning to end.
Everyone admired this young girl’s steady temperament even more. Tonight was Granny Zhu’s birthday party, and she stood there quietly without stealing the limelight. She didn’t wear makeup or dress up, still wearing her never-changing white dress. Yet, among the heavily made-up women present, not one could surpass her in appearance.
“Yuxun, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” Jiang Chunlan asked with some concern.
Her furrowed brows made her look genuinely worried.
Bo Yuxun’s voice was a bit hoarse as he replied indifferently, “Thank you for your concern, Madam. I’m fine.”
“As long as you’re alright. Ming Jing, this girl, has grown up in a nunnery since childhood and has suffered a lot. In fact, she’s quite similar to A Jiang. Now they’re both enjoying better days.”
Bo Yuxun’s pinky finger moved slightly as he hooked his lips, “Oh, so you appreciate her a lot.”
“She is a good child...”
Just as these words were spoken, a sharp voice suddenly came from the broadcast, “You’ve all been deceived by Ming Jing, she’s a liar, a murderer!”
This ferocious voice was accompanied by ear-piercing shrieks from the broadcast, clearly drifting into every corner of the hall and into everyone’s ears.
The scene instantly erupted in commotion.
Jiang Chunlan raised an eyebrow, the playful and ruthless smile on her lips appeared briefly.
“Outstanding people will always encounter jealousy. This poor child is really pitiable...”
Lin Qing’s face changed drastically as she turned to the security guards, “What’s going on? Find the troublemaker.”
Lin Ya stepped forward and frowned, “Auntie, that voice... sounds like Zhu Xiangxiang, my cousin.”
At first, Lin Qing didn’t recognize it, but after Lin Ya’s reminder, she was furious, “What is this girl playing at? I’ve been too indulgent with her. Does she even know what kind of occasion this is? What can she gain by causing such a scene and framing Ming Jing?!”
Granny Zhu took a deep breath and patted Ming Jing’s hand, “Don’t worry, Granny is backing you up, and no one will hurt you.”
Ming Jing remained calm from beginning to end, smiling gently. She squatted down and pulled the blanket on Granny Zhu’s lap, “Granny, I’m fine. No matter what you hear or see later, don’t get angry. You have to believe me, I’ll always be your granddaughter.”
Ming Jing looked up at Granny Zhu with a smile.
Granny Zhu gazed deeply into her eyes, as if she sensed something. She held Ming Jing’s hand tightly and nodded with difficulty.
“Alright, Granny promises you.”
Zhu Wentao’s face was filled with anger, “What is this child doing? There are so many guests here, won’t they laugh at us?”
Lin Ya whispered to Lin Qing, “Auntie, let the security guards catch her first. The most important thing is to calm down the guests at the scene. You are the hostess, you absolutely can’t panic.”
Lin Qing gratefully glanced at Lin Ya, took a deep breath, and spoke loudly, “Ladies and gentlemen, let me explain. I don’t know which mad person wants to cause trouble on an occasion like this. A murderer? That’s just an absurd lie. If I find out who is slandering my daughter like this, I won’t let them off the hook.”
Lin Qing’s last sentence revealed a touch of viciousness.
She was truly enraged.
