From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

Chapter 726: 374 Spiritual_2

At this moment, the crouching girl was so gently beautiful that it was unbelievable. Being close to her, Xiao Wang felt her kindness, and his heart was filled with an indescribable sense of being touched.

Seeing was indeed believing. No matter how many rumors one heard, they couldn’t compare to witnessing things with one’s own eyes and experiencing them deeply.

Indeed, all things were sentient; people could lie, but animals wouldn’t. A person could pretend or act to be good, but they couldn’t deceive the eyes of animals.

“Ms. Ming Jing, you’ve truly opened my eyes today,” he said.

Ming Jing covered the cage with cloth, handed it to Tao Xianxian, and stood up, saying, “Will Director An Yang be at the fashion event on the 12th?”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The fashion gala was organized by Wind Chime Magazine. There were many year-end events, with celebrities often rushing around, but as an industry benchmark, Wind Chime Magazine always set the trend, with many big names, first-line stars, and international supermodels attending, making it the highest-profile event in the entertainment industry.

Xiao Wang hesitated, then said, “Director An Yang doesn’t usually like attending this kind of event, but coincidentally, he’s friends with our editor-in-chief, so he’ll definitely come to show support.”

Although An Yang’s fame in the industry was not as high as Yu Dawei’s, his unique style made it easier for him to produce blockbusters. Every actor who collaborated with him performed at their best, and countless actors yearned to work with him. However, for outsiders, An Yang was not as attractive as Yu Dawei.

Xiao Wang didn’t understand why Ming Jing suddenly asked about Director An Yang, but she was also on the guest list for the fashion gala on the 12th.

He could already anticipate the headlines that day.

Although she was not part of the entertainment industry, her ability to stir up controversy was stronger than that of publicity-seeking celebrities.

“I see, I like An Yang’s film ‘Kite’,” she said.

Leaving half of her words unsaid, she whetted his appetite.

Xiao Wang didn’t expect Ming Jing, a girl like her, to like such an old movie. Although “Kite” was An Yang’s famous work, it was hard to understand. It was only those who were older and had life experience who could resonate with the film.

The magazine shoot was divided into covers and inner pages; one set wasn’t enough. Another set was planned with Xie Jiang to be shot at the polo field the next afternoon. As it was getting late, Ming Jing removed her makeup and headed back to school in a car.

Changing into her school uniform, just as she was about to get out of the car, Zheng Qing called out to her: “Down jacket.”

Ming Jing turned and looked at the white down jacket Zheng Qing handed her, giving a helpless smile.

“It’s cold outside; just looking good won’t do.”

She put on the down jacket before getting out of the car.

Entering the school gate, the bell announcing the end of the noon break rang. The quiet campus started to regain its vitality, with first-year students playing around in the corridor.

Two boys rushed down from the first-year teaching building and ran into Ming Jing head-on. The two of them were startled.

“S-Senior sister, hello.”

They lowered their heads and were about to leave.

“Stop right there.”

The duo’s legs trembled; Zhou Xiang tried to slip away, but Ji Dagui held him back and gave him a sign.

Ming Jing slowly turned around, her gaze falling on their faces.

“Why are you two so nervous?” she asked.

Ji Dagui scratched his nose and snickered, “We were just startled by your otherworldly beauty, senior sister.”

Ming Jing’s gaze rested on Zhou Xiang’s face: “Where’s Zhu Shaodan?”

The two boys’ faces fell; she was indeed asking about Zhu Shaodan.

—-

“Coo coo~” From outside the wall of the small grove beside the restroom, a few cooing sounds of birdcalls.

Ji Dagui glanced at the girl beside him and pinched his nose, trying to ignore the smell.

“Coo coo~”

Then, a school bag came flying in first. Ji Dagui and Zhou Xiang quickly stepped aside.

Looking at Ming Jing, she was completely unmoved, as steady as a mountain.

The two of them awkwardly touched their noses simultaneously.

After a rustling noise, a boy leaped onto the wall. Through the dappled tree shadows, he saw a few people standing below. He laughed loudly and jumped off the wall.

“I’m back!”

He brushed his hair back, and the first thing he saw was a pair of black boots. This young woman had really thin legs; did Zhou Xiang and Ji Dagui’s grandchildren have such thin legs?

Looking up, he realized these legs were long… Oh, a short skirt?

A girl?

Zhu Shaodan hesitated for a moment, then suddenly looked up to see a face as beautiful as a fairy, her lips curling into a faint smile.

Zhu Shaodan paled in shock and fell onto his butt.

“You… It’s you?”
