From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

Chapter 5: 005 School Hunk

Granny Zhu came out after washing up, sitting at the dining table and taking a bite of the corn pancake.

Her cloudy old eyes lit up.

"Madam Zhou's cooking skills are getting better and better."

Madam Zhou rubbed her hands on her apron, feeling embarrassed, "Old Madam, today's breakfast was prepared by Ms. Ming Jing."

Granny Zhu was surprised, "Ming Jing, that child... where is she?"

"She took a sandwich to school, Ming Jing leaves very early every day, she basically doesn't have breakfast at home."

Granny Zhu sighed, "Poor girl."

Today's dining table was exceptionally quiet, Granny Zhu asked, "Where are Lin Qing and Xiangxiang?"

Miss Xiangxiang specifically reminded not to let old Madam know about little young Master's hospitalization, so Madam Zhou found an excuse to cover it up.

——

Zhu Shaodan had three broken ribs, with multiple fractures in his head and legs, and was lying in bed wrapped like a mummy.

When Lin Qing and Zhu Xiangxiang arrived, Uncle Wen was negotiating with the police at the door of the ward.

Uncle Wen's brow furrowed, the young Master had caused trouble in the past, but this time it was much more complicated, and it couldn't be resolved in the usual way.

Because the young Master had offended someone formidable this time.

Although the other person's injury was just a flesh wound, much lighter than the young Master's, because the other party had a strong background, they wanted to handle it as a criminal case. If it went to court and they exerted pressure, the young Master would have a criminal record, and his life would be ruined.

Uncle Wen's hair turned white from worry.

Lin Qing and Zhu Xiangxiang went in to see Zhu Shaodan first, and he was unconscious.

Coming out to find Uncle Wen to learn about what happened, Lin Qing did not seem to care, "On my Zhu family's turf in Jiangcheng, is there anything we can't handle?"

The Zhus have been rooted in Jiangcheng for many years, and Zhu Wentao and his wife have been skillful in networking. Besides a few old wealthy families, the Zhus were unique, who in Jiangcheng would dare to hit her son? She would tear their skins.

Uncle Wen received a phone call, his face changed, and he whispered a few words in her ear.

Lin Qing's expression went from disdain to solemnity and finally to collapse, "It's impossible, absolutely impossible..."

Uncle Wen sighed, "Madam, this time's case is tricky."

Lin Qing's face turned pale, and she muttered repeatedly, "How could this happen..."

Zhu Xiangxiang curiously asked, "Mom, what's going on?"

Lin Qing grabbed Zhu Xiangxiang's hand, "Your brother hit...hit..."

She whispered a name, and Zhu Xiangxiang's face changed as if she had thought of something.

A group of black-suited bodyguards suddenly appeared and surrounded the ward, not even allowing a fly to fly in.

A man in a suit and leather shoes strode forward, with an upright face, gentlemanly demeanor, and Zhu Xiangxiang recognized him at a glance.

This was the most famous lawyer in China, Li Qingzhuo, who specialized in criminal cases and had an unbeaten record.

With Li Qingzhuo taking action, Shaodan was in even greater danger.

"I'm sorry, everyone, as the patient in this ward is involved in a criminal case, this room is now being taken over by a special team. Please leave as soon as possible," Li Qingzhuo said in a business-like manner.

Lin Qing was anxious, "What should we do, what should we do about your brother? He's not really going to jail, is he?"

Zhu Xiangxiang analyzed calmly, "There are hardly any lawyers in the country who can beat Li Qingzhuo, so there's no way we can go down this road. We have to find another way."

Lin Qing subconsciously said, "You say, as long as it can save your brother."

Zhu Xiangxiang said, "I heard that Madam Jiang is on good terms with him, why not try Madam Jiang's connection? Let her help plead with the other party and let them withdraw the lawsuit, and we'll settle it privately."

"But I'm not familiar with Madam Jiang, she's very aloof, and ordinary people can't even see her face."

"Then cater to her interests."

——

"Sister Zhao Qin, why are you so concerned about that transfer student named Ming Jing?" Zhang Jingwen was very puzzled, not only she didn't stand up for her, but even seems addicted to observing her.

Zhao Qin was picking at the garlic ribs in her bowl, glanced at Ming Jing who was quietly eating in the distance, and said casually, "You will not choke if you keep eating."

Zhang Jingwen secretly stuck out her tongue.

Thinking of something, Zhao Qin asked, "Zhu Xiangxiang didn't come to school today?"

Across her, Sun Qingqing replied, "She's on leave because of some family matters."

Zhao Qin sneered, "What a pity, she missed a good show."

"Ah, it's Jiang Jinchen! Why is he free to come to the cafeteria today?" Tao Xingxing grabbed Ming Jing's arm and screamed exaggeratedly.

It wasn't just her, the whole cafeteria boiled up at the appearance of this group of people.

Who is Jiang Jinchen? The heartthrob of Shengde High School, handsome, tall, with a good background, and the basketball team captain, a man of all virtues who attracted attention wherever he went.

Two teenagers were also with Jiang Jinchen, round face and big eyes named Situ Lin, and the rascal with a cheap smile named Charles Gao, both of whom were good friends of Jiang Jinchen.

"Miss Zhao, it's been a few days since we've met, and you're glowing even more. Where did you get your treatment, and can you bring me with you?" Charles Gao smirked and threw a flirtatious glance at Zhao Qin, almost making her throw up her last night's meal.

"Get lost," Zhao Qin broke her chopsticks with her bare hands, scaring the surrounding people to shrink their necks.

Charles Gao shook his head, "Tigress, whoever marries you is unlucky for life."

Charles Gao's mouth was so cheap, Zhao Qin wished she could cut it off with scissors.

Zhao Qin's eyes rolled, suddenly with a charming smile to Charles Gao, "My family is just short of a son-in-law, I think you're not bad."

Charles Gao shuddered, "I can't afford that."

Their rivalry was quite something, having fought since they were little, and everyone was used to it.

To the group of "walking heartthrobs," Ming Jing only glanced up and then lowered her head again.

"Have you heard? The young master of Zhu family has offended a big shot, and he's in for a world of trouble."

By coincidence, the three of them happened to sit behind Ming Jing after their meal and just happened to start talking about Zhu Shaodan.

"Serves him right, this kid has been arrogant and domineering, now that he's messed with a big shot, even the Zhu family can't cover for him."

Throughout the conversation, it was just Situ Lin and Charles Gao talking, Jiang Jinchen didn't say a word.

"A while ago, the real Miss Zhu caused quite a stir, the real daughter is back, right? The Zhu family is keeping it really tight. They must have something to hide, as for the fake daughter..."

Charles Gao glanced at Jiang Jinchen and chuckled, "Fortunately, our old Chen could hold back, otherwise, he would have fallen into her gutter, too."

Tao Xingxing blinked and whispered to Ming Jing, "I never thought the male gods would be so gossipy, and, and did you know, I never thought that the grand heartthrob Jiang Jinchen actually liked Zhu Xiangxiang? Isn't this explosive news?"

Tao Xingxing was so excited that her voice got louder, just enough for sharp-eared Charles Gao to hear.

A head popped out between them, "You little girl, what are you whispering about? It's not a good habit to gossip behind people's backs."

They turned their heads and were faced with a pair of deep eyes, like an ancient well. My god, Charles Gao was nearly scared out of his wits.
