Laiba walked over to help him up and curiously asked, “Who is that girl? Is she a member of your family?”
Zhu Shaodan snorted, “An unimportant person. No need to worry about her. Brother, from now on, you’re my real brother, and I’ll follow you for the rest of my life.”
Laiba frowned, “Little brother, you’re so young. Did you sneak out without your family knowing? You should go back to school. Knowledge is what changes one’s fate, not hanging out with us.”
Zhu Shaodan waved his hand, “I’m not the studying type. I’ve made up my mind. Brother, from now on, we’ll share our fortunes and hardships together.”
Laiba sighed, knowing that this young man must have a complicated background, and wondered if it would bring fortune or disaster.
Zhu Shaodan looked at Qian Wei, “Hey, why are you so afraid of her?”
Qian Wei snorted, “Why should I tell you? Just you wait, Second Young Master will deal with you sooner or later.”
With that, he limped away with his minions.
Ming Jing told Lin Qing that Zhu Shaodan had been found, but he was unwilling to come back.
“He’s already completely ruined. If you still want to save him, you can only try by putting him in a desperate situation.”
Lin Qing was at a loss and could only choose to follow Ming Jing’s advice.
Ming Jing ordered everyone in the Zhu family that from now on, there would be no more Young Master Zhu Shaodan. Even if he came back, he would be turned away. No one from the Zhus was allowed to secretly help him.
Granny Zhu had no objections, and Lin Qing remained silent.
Zhu Xiangxiang frowned, “In the end, Shaodan is just a child. How can you be so harsh on him? He doesn’t know how to survive on his own, and what if he’s bullied outside? The Zhu family only has this one descendant. If something happens to him, how can Granny and Mom accept it?”
She looked at Ming Jing with eyes mingled with something uncomfortable, “I know Shaodan has a bad attitude towards you and you feel resentful, but you can’t take revenge on him like this.”
Such a twisting of words, turning Ming Jing’s actions into an act of revenge.
Granny Zhu said unhappily, “Xiangxiang, I have no objections to what Ming Jing is doing. This child has been spoiled, and it’s time for him to go out and learn some harsh lessons from society.”
Zhu Xiangxiang looked at Lin Qing, “Mom, you don’t really agree with this, do you?”
What’s wrong with everyone?
Lin Qing rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache coming on. Standing up, she said, “I don’t care. Do whatever you want.”
She was actually going to become hands-off.
With that, she went straight upstairs.
“I know you have deep affection for your brother, but now that Zhu Shaodan has been expelled from the family, if you secretly help him and I find out, you can join him to be a pair of unfortunate siblings. The small family of Zhus can no longer accommodate you.”
Zhu Xiangxiang didn’t expect Ming Jing to say such words. She looked towards Granny Zhu, only to see her calmly drinking tea, as if she hadn’t heard anything at all.
Zhu Xiangxiang suddenly realized that at some unknown point in time, Ming Jing had gradually infiltrated the Zhu family. Now Granny Zhu and Lin Qing were both following her orders, and she had completely lost her say.
Zhu Xiangxiang endured the anger, and it took her a lot of effort not to curse on the spot. When she returned to her room, she smashed a flower vase.
“Why on earth do you exist, Zhu Mingjing?”
She couldn’t stand it any longer, even for a day.
The Bojinlai Casino was very lively tonight. In fact, it had been lively for the past few nights.
Ever since that mysterious young man gambled with Master Xiao and ended in a draw, the story had spread throughout the circle.
People talked about the young man with awe, and many who had never seen him became even more curious. They thought he would come again, so they waited for him at Bojinlai Casino every night.
But several days passed without a single sighting of him.
“Master Xiao rarely used to come to Bojinlai Casino, but recently he’s been here almost every night. And that young lady, she never misses a single night. What kind of dogshit luck did that kid have?”
“He admitted he lost and promised to work for Master Xiao. Why didn’t he keep his promise?”
Various voices of discussion could be heard.
In the lounge, Ye Jian sighed as he saw that it was already half-past eleven, well past bedtime, while cup after cup of tea was consumed. “Master Xiao, let’s go back. Staying up late every day isn’t good for your health.”
Ran Tengxiao put down his teacup, stood up, and said, “Let’s go.”
He glanced at Zhao Qin, who was sleeping on the table across from him, and ordered his subordinates, ‘Wake her up.”
Ye Jian’s mouth twitched, showing not a trace of sympathy for the sleeping beauty..
