Chapter 206 - 206: 098 Doubts (Second Revision)
At this moment, Ming Jing led Ming Yi into the room, and Ming Yi grinned and shouted, “Auntie, Yingying Sister, Granny.”
Like a milky white rabbit, she pounced on them, and Zhou Bao pinched her cheeks, “You’re so cute, I wish you were my sister.”
“Hehe, Yingying sister, I am your sister.”
“Such a sweet mouth.” Zhou Bao couldn’t help but laugh.
“Sister-in-law, you should watch the news. Zhou Ling has been arrested at the airport. This woman finally got her retribution.”
Lin Qing glanced at Ming Jing subconsciously.
“My brother should be out soon. He’s had a pretty bad fall this time, and I guess he’ll be obedient after this.”
“We’re already divorced.” Lin Qing spoke, and everyone was stunned, including Ming Jing.
“A week ago, we had already processed the divorce, and now I’m single.”
Zhu Xiangxiang stood pale in place, wondering why things were all going in an unpredictable direction.
Zhu Wentao and Zhou Ling were arrested, and Lin Qing and Zhu Wentao got divorced-
What about her?
Right, no one found out what she did, and from now on, as long as she didn’t say anything, no one would know.
Zhu Xiangxiang composed herself and gently comforted, “Mom, you will definitely find your own happiness in the future.”
She even regretted a bit, why was she so foolish to listen to Zhou Ling’s words in the first place.
Lin Qing made a sound of acknowledgment.
“Sister-in-law, what about my brother now that you’re divorced? He was deceived by Zhou Ling.”
“I am someone who can’t stand even a speck of dust in my eyes. This man is already tainted; do I still need to pick him up and use him? Since you care so much about your brother, let him be with that woman for the rest of his life. Neither of them can leave the other.”
“But sister-in-law…”
“Enough, is there an end to this?” Granny Zhu scolded.
Zhu Wentao quickly closed his mouth.
The living room phone suddenly rang, and Madam Zhou went over to answer it. She listened for a moment and turned to Lin Qing, “Madam, it’s Teacher Ren from the competition class.”
That’s when everyone remembered that today seemed to be the day when Ming Jing’s competition results were announced.
Lin Qing put down her water cup, went over, and picked up the handset, her voice gentle and polite, “Hello Teacher Ren, I am Ming Jing’s mother.”
Zhu Wenjie recalled something and looked at Zhu Xiangxiang, “I remember
Xiangxiang also attended the competition class, how did she do?”
Zhou Bao’s grades were a mess, so the competition class was something Zhu Wenjie could only long for but never reach.
Zhu Xiangxiang’s face stiffened, and she chose to remain silent instead of speaking.
Could she say she was kicked out of the competition class?
Lin Qing hung up the phone, and Zhou Bao immediately asked anxiously,
“Auntie, how did my cousin do in the exam?”
For a moment, almost everyone’s eyes were fixed on Lin Qing.
Ming Jing, the person involved, casually dropped a line, “I’m going upstairs to change my clothes.”
With that, she left without looking back.
Zhu Xiangxiang stared at her retreating figure, thinking that since she left so impatiently, she must not have done well in the exam.
Zhu Xiangxiang’s mouth curled up in triumph. She was a queen at Shengde High School, oblivious to the fact that there was always someone better out there.
However, Lin Qing’s next words shattered all her illusions.
“Ming Jing’s teacher said she got the highest score in this competition and the provincial team leader personally called Teacher Ren, saying that such a good seedling like Ming Jing must join their team and not be wasted. Teacher Ren also said that Ming Jing needs to start training with the provincial team on August 10th, and asked us parents to take care of their children’s diet and daily life.” Lin Qing’s voice was excited and proud.
Granny Zhu smiled with relief.
Zhu Wenjie smacked his lips in disbelief, looking at Lin Qing, “Sister-in-law, neither you nor my brother have the gene of a top student, how is Ming Jing your biological daughter? She is too smart.”
Lin Qing’s face changed slightly, and she coldly glanced at him.Granny Zhu suddenly raised her hand and slapped her on the back, “Shut up if you can’t talk properly.”
Zhou Bao exclaimed, “Oh my gosh, my cousin is amazing! Our school’s top student from last year participated in the competition but couldn’t even make it into the top 100. My cousin actually got the highest score! If my classmates found out, they’d be so jealous of me.”
Zhu Xiangxiang went from shocked to deep in thought.
“I wasn’t wrong, look at Ming Jing, she’s so beautiful, our Zhu family doesn’t have such beautiful genes. Plus, she’s so good at studying, our family is full of poor students. The only explanation is a gene mutation.”
“No matter how outstanding Ming Jing is, she’s my Zhu family’s daughter, and that’s an undeniable fact.” Granny Zhu made the final call.
Back in her room, Zhu Xiangxiang felt something was off. She found the investigation file on Ming Jing that she had gotten from Lin Qing, which Lin Qing had either forgotten or never taken back.
She looked through it over and over again, and finally found a clue.
She called the private investigator, “In the investigation file, you mentioned hesitating between Ming Jing and her Senior for a long time. Does that mean Ming Jing’s Senior also fit the bill?”
The person on the other side was cautious, “Ms. Zhu, this case is already closed.”
An additional investigation would cost extra money.
Zhu Xiangxiang gritted her teeth, “Name your price.”
Zhu Xiangxiang winced at the pain, but thankfully she still had some educational funds.
The private investigator was extremely shrewd and would never speak without seeing the money first.
“Last time your fake information almost got me into big trouble, that was Shen
Zhou, you’re crazy.”
“That was an accident, it won’t happen again.”
After some consideration and seeing the transfer notification, the person finally said, “Ms. Zhu, you think 100,000 can buy information? Do you know the risks I have to take to tell you these answers?”
Zhu Xiangxiang narrowed her eyes, instantly catching the loophole in the conversation, “So does Ming Jing’s identity really have doubts?”
“Ms. Zhu, don’t try to dig more words out of me.”
“Fine, if your detective agency won’t help, I’ll find another one. There must be a detective agency that will take the case.”
As Zhu Xiangxiang was about to hang up, the other party said, “200,000.”
Zhu Xiangxiang gritted her teeth, “I don’t have that much cash right now, I’ll transfer you 50,000 as a deposit, and the rest tomorrow.”
“Having worked with Ms. Zhu numerous times, I trust your character.”
“At the time of the investigation, her Senior was indeed the most suitable candidate, but due to being sick and staying indoors, I never saw her face. Ming Jing also met the criteria, so I tried my best to obtain hair samples from both of them and conducted DNA identification. This was the simplest way, and the result showed that Ming Jing had a 99-9% blood relationship with Madam Zhu.”
“Are you certain you didn’t mix up the hair samples of the two?” Zhu Xiangxiang felt more and more uneasy, “Have you seen Ming Xin? What does she look like?”
“When I saw her, she was in a coma, and it was night, dark and hard to see anything. As for mixing up the samples, Ms. Zhu, are you questioning my ability?”
“Fine, I’ll transfer another 200,000 to you, help me investigate Ming Xin’s background.”
As long as Ming Xin’s identity was revealed, Ming Jing’s origin would be self-explanatory.
Ming Jing brought her three Junior sisters back to the Zhu’s house, but her Senior sister was hiding somewhere, her whereabouts unknown. There must be a problem.
At lunchtime, the entire Zhu family gathered together.
Lin Qing was overjoyed and drank some wine for the rare occasion.
First, to celebrate her newfound single status, and second, to congratulate Ming Jing for achieving the highest score in the competition. The entire meal was filled with joy and laughter, even Zhu Wenjie spoke a few nice words to flatter Lin Qing.
Madam Zhu supported Lin Qing’s divorce, it appeared that she had decided to live with her daughter-in-law and granddaughter. Zhu Wenjie guessed that his mother must hold substantial inheritance and didn’t want Lin Qing and her daughter to benefit from it.
Ming Chen and Ming Ti said in unison: “Second sister, congratulations on your excellent performance! You are our role model in studying, you are our…” Ming Chen tried to remember.
Ming Ti gave her a glance, “Dumb, it’s Super idol!”
“Right.” Ming Chen suddenly realized, “Second sister, you are our Super idol.”
At that moment, Zhu Xiangxiang laughed, “Ming Jing, we’ve only met your three Junior sisters, where’s your Senior sister? Such a joyous occasion should be shared with her too, right? I heard from Ming Yi that your Senior sister takes great care of you all. When can we meet her?”
As soon as Zhu Xiangxiang finished speaking, the table fell silent, and everyone looked at her strangely.
“Xiangxiang sister, why does your voice sound so weird and sarcastic?”
