Ming Ti and Ming Chen looked at each other, having heard that there was a devilish character in the Zhus, but never having met him since coming here. Would they finally meet him now?
The two instinctively looked towards Ming Jing, who sat opposite them, enjoying her meal quietly. She seemed oblivious to Lin Qing and Granny Zhu’s unusual excitement, focusing solely on her lunch.
Soon, a lanky teenager entered the room, wearing a T-shirt with a skull printed on it and ripped jeans. He slouched with his hands in his pockets, looking very casual.
His hair was dyed in a colorful mess and styled like a preening peacock. The long bangs covered his eyes, giving off an inexplicable non-mainstream vibe.
Ming Ti twitched the corner of his mouth, unable to comprehend where this seemingly late-stage non-mainstream teenager came from – he was quite an eyesore.
Lin Qing, caring not for the details, hurriedly took a few steps, grabbed Zhu Shaodan’s hands, and looked him up and down. She suddenly slapped him on the back and scolded, “You little stinker, you finally came back! Do you have any idea how worried your mother has been?”
Zhu Shaodan, impatiently, retorted, “I’m starving, can we eat first and talk
Lin Qing quickly ordered Madam Zhou, “Add another pair of chopsticks.” Madam Zhou happily went to the kitchen.
Zhu Shaodan glanced briefly over Ming Ti, Ming Chen, and Ming Yi. His eyes, hidden beneath his long bangs, seemed filled with malice. The timid Ming Chen and Ming Yi instinctively shrank back, while Ming Ti averted his gaze, not wanting to cause trouble.
Zhu Shaodan’s gaze finally settled on Ming Jing, who was quietly eating her meal. He sneered, “Looks like we’re missing someone. Where’s my sister?”
Lin Qing frowned, “She was taken away by her birth parents.”
“Or is it because someone couldn’t stand her?”
“Shaodan, what nonsense are you talking about?” Lin Qing reprimanded.
“Hmph, am I wrong? Are the Zhus so poor that they can’t afford to support one more person? Then why did they take in these three burdens? Was it you who drove my sister away? You, a woman with a vicious heart, eat this!” Zhu Shaodan reached out and knocked over Ming Jing’s bowl.
Ming Chen and Ming Ti were startled, and Ming Yi burst into tears. Taking short steps, he rushed forward to hit Zhu Shaodan, who shouted irritably, “Get lost!”
Han Suwen quickly took Ming Yi away – the young master of the Zhus was terrifying.
Lin Qing angrily shouted, “Shaodan, are you looking for trouble the moment you return?”
Granny Zhu also had a stern expression, “I thought after leaving for a while, you’d become more mature upon returning. But you’re still so impulsive.
Apologize to your sister.”
Zhu Shaodan curled his lips and disdainfully said, “I only have one sister, her name is Zhu Xiangxiang, and that wild brat from who knows where isn’t qualified to be my sister.”
Ming Ti glared at Zhu Shaodan, secretly gritting his teeth.
Ming Jing put down her chopsticks. Since Zhu Shaodan had walked in, she had not looked at him once, even when he just flipped her bowl over, she didn’t even furrow her brow.
Seeing her put down her chopsticks now, Lin Qing and Madam Zhou both felt a chill run down their spines. Lin Qing rushed over first, pushing Zhu Shaodan’s head, “You little brat, have you forgotten your last name after being out in the wild for so long? Hurry up and apologize to your sister, or do you want me to beat you for talking nonsense?”
Zhu Shaodan shot Lin Qing a cold glance, “Mom, you raised my sister for 16 years, but just gave up on her like that. How could you be so cold-hearted? Instead, you let these wild children from who knows where freeload off our family. I don’t care. If you don’t bring my sister back, then you better kick these wild kids out!”
Ming Chen took a deep breath; this kid was really hateful, constantly calling them “wild children.”
“Oh really? You can try and find Zhu Xiangxiang and see if she dares to come back with you.” Ming Jing said calmly.
Zhu Shaodan narrowed his eyes, staring at Ming Jing’s frail shoulders, “Did you threaten her?”
“Her being in the Zhus doesn’t bother me at all. However, when her birth mother came looking for her, it would really be unreasonable for the Zhus to keep her. Uncle Wen, tell him where Zhu Xiangxiang lives now. Don’t bother having your meal, go quickly.”
Ming Jing turned and headed upstairs, not even glancing at Zhu Shaodan from beginning to end.
Zhu Shaodan blocked Ming Jing’s path, “What do you mean?”
“You didn’t even complete nine years of compulsory education, I don’t expect you to understand me.”
Ming Jing raised her eyes, her clear and deep eyes captivating and intimidating Zhu Shaodan.
Ming Chen stifled a chuckle with her hand when she saw everyone looking serious, then quickly lowered her head.
Her second sister can really insult people without using any dirty words.
Zhu Shaodan, having his sore spot jabbed, angrily pointed at Ming Jing, “Don’t be so smug, I’ll skin you one day!”
Ming Jing hooked her lips and looked at him indifferently, “I’ll be waiting.” With that, she walked past Zhu Shaodan and went upstairs.
Zhu Shaodan stared at the slim and tall figure of the young girl, his eyes becoming more and more unfathomable.
Zhu Shaodan walked to Uncle Wen, “Uncle Wen, where is my sister living now?” Uncle Wen looked at Lin Qing, who nodded, so he told him the address.
Zhu Shaodan strode out of the Zhus’ Gate, and Lin Qing called out from behind, “Eat before you go?”
Zhu Shaodan waved his hand, “I won’t die from hunger.”
Lin Qing sighed, “What sin have I committed?”
Granny Zhu spoke with a stern expression, “Let him be, this child needs a hard lesson before he will change.”
Looking up at Ming Chen and Ming Ti, Granny Zhu kindly said, “You two must be frightened. Shaodan has been spoiled by his mother and has a bit of a foul temper. Don’t take his words to heart; the Zhus will always be your home.”
Ming Chen smiled, “Brother Shaodan just doesn’t know how good sister is. If he interacts more with sister, he will definitely like her.”
Hmph, you just wait, stinky kid. How dare you bully my sister, I’ll teach you a lesson.
Granny Zhu nodded, “You’re right.”
Upstairs, Ming Jing stood by the window, watching Zhu Shaodan’s figure leave the Zhus’ Gate, getting on a motorbike, speeding away like the wind. As he went further and further into the distance on the mountain road, he became a tiny black dot.
Ming Jing picked up her phone, “Follow him.”
Ming Jing curved her lips, her pitch-black eyes icy.
Ran Tengxiao…
Chewing on this name between her lips, Ming Jing smiled and shook her head. The young boy who used to chase after her to learn martial arts had also grown up..
