Chapter 173 Courage (Part 1)

Waiting for idlers?

Zhu Xiangxiang was angry, but she became an idler instead.

"Shaodan is also my younger brother. He is such an adult, how can you do it right away?" Zhu Xiangxiang hurriedly turned his head and looked left and right at Zhu Shaodan's face, and said distressedly, "Does it hurt?"

Zhu Shaodan's temporarily short-circuited brain was finally connected. He stared at the mirror, his eyes were full of hostility, and even Zhu Xiangxiang, who was most familiar with him, was startled.

It was the first time she saw Zhu Shaodan like this.

"Don't look at me with such eyes, Zhu Shaodan, this is a school, not the Qinglong Society. Your fists can't solve any problems. People who only show off their bravery can't go very far. If you go on like this, you can only become a pawn in the hands of others." A knife has no thought or personality, and if it loses its use value, it will only be ruthlessly discarded."

Ming Jing shook his head lightly, his eyes seemed to show compassion.

"Without a book-reading brain, you really can't listen to any reasoning. No one is obligated to be responsible for your life. If you want to sink and degenerate, then let yourself go."

Ming Jing turned around without the slightest hesitation, and the slender figure gradually drifted away.

Zhu Shaodan clenched his hands into fists and stared at her back.

In the ear, Zhu Xiangxiang was still chattering about putting eye drops on Ming Jing, Zhu Shaodan felt irritable for the first time, and shouted: "Stop talking."

Zhu Xiangxiang was taken aback, and stared blankly at the violent-looking young man in front of him.

"Shaodan...you...what's the matter with you?" Zhu Xiangxiang asked cautiously.

Zhu Shaodan touched his cheek, Ming Jing's slap just now was so hard that half of his face was already swollen.

Zhu Shaodan hissed softly, and ground his teeth, Zhu Xiangxiang was terrified when he heard it.

"Bah." Spit out a mouthful of blood, Zhu Shaodan sneered, and walked away.

Zhu Xiangxiang hurriedly followed, "Shaodan, don't blame Mingjing, she may also be doing it for your own good."

Zhu Shaodan glanced at her, Zhu Xiangxiang's heart was terrified by those eyes, and he said tremblingly, "Why are you looking at me like this?"

Zhu Shaodan shook his head, "Nothing."

In the end, Lin Qing spent money to settle the matter. For the sake of a library, the school decided to give Zhu Shaodan a notice of criticism. Li Rengui made a big fuss in the principal's office. With such a bad influence, if he didn't expel him, he would give Shengde High School a century-old reputation. discredit.

Finally, in exchange for a punishment of going home and thinking about it for a week, writing a 10,000-word self-criticism, and ordering Zhu Shaodan to dye his hair and wear a school uniform. He will read the self-criticism in front of all the teachers and students at the national flag ceremony next Monday, to reflect on his mistakes and correct his mistakes. Since the new student, if there is a second violation of discipline, he will be directly expelled from school.

"Mom, it's all my fault. If Shaodan hadn't stood up for me, he wouldn't have gotten into this kind of trouble." Zhu Xiangxiang's eyes were red, and his tone was crying.

Lin Qing had given up on rescuing Zhu Shaodan, and things that could be settled with money were nothing serious at all. Instead, she focused on Zhu Xiangxiang being bullied at school.

"Xiangxiang, tell mom the truth, did someone bully you at school?"

Zhu Xiangxiang panicked for a moment, and shook his head quickly: "No, Mom, you think too much, the students are very friendly..."

Lin Qing knew something was wrong when she saw her expression, and patted the back of her hand lightly: "Don't be afraid, tell mom."

Zhu Xiangxiang finally broke down and threw herself into Lin Qing's arms, "Mom, I don't know what I did wrong. My classmates only like Mingjing, not me..."

"I know I'm not as beautiful as Ming Jing, and I don't have good grades like her, but I have worked very hard, but everyone still doesn't like me. I really don't know what to do. I have already paid her back what I owed Ming Jing. Could it be that she Are you satisfied with forcing me to death?"

Zhu Xiangxiang's pear blossoms were crying with rain, she was so pitiful, and with every word she said, Lin Qing's face darkened, and in the end it was almost dripping water.

She patted Zhu Xiangxiang on the back lightly: "Okay, don't cry, how about mom help you transfer to another school, it will be better in a different environment."

Zhu Xiangxiang's face froze, and he quickly lowered his head to hide the panic in his eyes.

"Let's not bother, Shaodan made such a big mess on the first day of school, I have to see him with my own eyes to be relieved."

Lin Qing said with a look of relief: "You still love Shaodan."

"Actually, Mingjing also loves Shaodan very much. Before she slapped Shaodan, she was also in a hurry. She was afraid that Shaodan would cause trouble..."

"What? She slapped Shaodan?" No wonder she saw that half of Shaodan's face was swollen and thought it was a fight.

"Mingjing is also for the good of Shaodan. I have never seen Mingjing get so angry." Zhu Xiangxiang sighed.

She thought Lin Qing would be angry, but to her surprise, Lin Qing smiled gratifiedly.

It turns out that Ming Jing is not heartless, she still has this brother in her heart.

Lin Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Go back to class. I'll take Shaodan home first." Lin Qing patted the back of Zhu Xiangxiang's hand, turned around and got into the Ferrari. In the car, Zhu Shaodan lowered his head and didn't say goodbye to Zhu Xiangxiang until the car passed away. Go, Zhu Xiangxiang turned around with a sullen face.

Unexpectedly, Lin Qing's solution was to let her transfer to another school.

Where are you going, the No. 1 middle school next door?

There is no comparison between the two schools, and she will really run away in despair when the time comes, and she will never be able to wash away this humiliation in her life.

Zhu Xiangxiang walked on the avenue of the campus, with tall camphor trees growing on both sides. In the golden autumn and September, the fallen leaves swirled in mid-air and fell on her feet, covering the ground with golden yellow.

Zhu Xiangxiang's footsteps suddenly stopped, she seemed to have gone astray.

Competing for favor with Lin Qing has no meaning at all, and putting eye drops on Mingjing has no effect at all. No matter how good she is as an adopted daughter, in Lin Qing's eyes, it is better to be her own. She just wants to feel the love from her daughter in herself. "Warmth," this is the value of her existence now.

If you go astray, you may lose more than you gain.

Judging from today's results, it's not that Ding Jing won't get angry and won't fight back. Before that, she must stay low-key and dormant.

There is only one chance, so be sure to hit it with one blow, and don't give the opponent the slightest chance of turning the tables.

This is a very long and forbearing road, and you may encounter a lot of injustice and bullying, but after getting through this darkness, you will eventually see the light.

After thinking this through, I wish Xiangxiang's mood miraculously calmed down. There is an old saying that those who want to achieve great things must endure what ordinary people cannot bear.

——

After school, Ming Jing picked up his schoolbag and left the classroom.

Tao Xingxing ran over and took Ming Jing's arm, "Your brother became famous this time, his name is almost swiping the screen in the forum, partly because of you, partly because of his tough record, tsk tsk, you are so gentle , why is there such an irritable brother who bullies you a lot at home?"

Ming Jing shook his head: "No."

"It's still early, let me treat you to milk tea." Ming Jing said.

"Goddess of Mirror's milk tea is not something everyone can afford. It's a great honor. People will envy me if they know it." Tao Xingxing took out his mobile phone as he said, "I'll call my mother and ask her to come later. pick me up."

Ming Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, "Don't bother Auntie, I'll take you back."

After hanging up the phone, Tao Xingxing said with a smile: "My mother happens to have a social event in Times Square tonight, so I will go back with my mother."

The milk tea shop was overcrowded, and there was a long queue. Someone recognized Ming Jing, and the milk tea shop immediately became a commotion.

Before everyone could react, Tao Xingxing pulled Ming Jing and turned around and ran away. As soon as the passers-by took out their mobile phones, Ming Jing disappeared.

Running to a place where no one was around, Tao Xingxing bent down and gasped: "I can't go shopping with you casually now, you are the goddess of the nation now, and any passer-by can recognize you."

"National Goddess?" Ming Jing raised his eyebrows.

"Did you never go online?" Tao Xingxing said speechlessly.

"You don't even have a Weibo, and your fans have nowhere to vent their love. Are you worthy of your fans?" Tao Xingxing resented very much.

Ming Jing smiled and shook his head: "Fans' pursuit and love are nothing but the moon in the mirror and the flowers in the water. It is an illusion after all."

Tao Xingxing glanced at her: "How many people want to be a big star and enjoy the feeling of being sought after by everyone, but you are indifferent and admirable."

If a person sees through everything at a young age, life is quite boring.

Looking at Ming Jing's calm face, Tao Xingxing suddenly felt sorry for her.

Not to be happy with things and not to be sad with oneself is a noble character that everyone pursues and admires. Can anyone really do it? Tao Xingxing could have sneered and said it was impossible in the past, but now the appearance of Ming Jing has broken her mind.

She believes Der Spiegel can do it, and then what?

People live in the world, big and small, there will always be desires, as big as wives and children working in a caravan, as small as gorgeous clothes and beautiful bags, and even a good meal and a cup of milk tea can make you happy for a long time. People are the products of desires. As a result, happiness, pain, and troubles will arise. This is the real feeling of being alive. Life is only a few dozen years long, so how can you be happy?

But if Ming Jing is like this, with no desires, no desires, no sorrows and no joys, Tao Xingxing finds it even more boring.

If you see through the worldly world prematurely, you will lose a lot of happiness, just like a walking dead.

But everyone's pursuit is different, maybe Ding Jing enjoys it, and her thinking may also be narrow.

Tao Xingxing only wants Mingjing to be happy.

"Your phone is ringing." Ming Jing's reminder pulled Tao Xingxing back to his sanity.

Tao Xingxing hurriedly connected: "Mom, Mingjing and I are here in the square, no... okay."

Tao Xingxing glanced at Ding Jing: "My mother brought a document to the company, and now I need it urgently. The assistant has asked for leave, so I have to go to my mother's company."

"Let's go, I'll take you there."

Tao Xingxing jumped up and took Ming Jing's arm: "I knew you were the best."

It took twenty minutes to go to the company to pick up the documents and then return to Times Square. Tao Xingxing pulled Ming Jing out of the car: "Why don't you come with me, I'm a little stage frighted alone."

"My mother said that there is a Sichuan restaurant on the fifth floor, Chunmantang, and this is it."

Tao Xingxing pointed to a shop with Chunmantang written on the plaque. The door was decorated very gorgeously, and there were four waiters standing at the door to greet and send them off.

Tao Xingxing walked over and said, "I'm here to deliver something to the guests in room 202."

"Okay, please follow me this way." A waitress led the two of them in.

The two were wearing school uniforms, but Ming Jing had a slender figure, and the school uniforms could hardly conceal her dusty demeanor. Not only the waiter stared at her, but many guests also looked at her as they walked in.

"I always think she looks familiar..."

"Isn't that the mirror? The mirror in the three meals a day...."

The three waiters looked at each other, seeing shock in each other's eyes.

Tao Xingxing approached Ming Jing and said with a smile: "I also experienced the feeling of being noticed by following you. I thought I was a big star. It feels really good."

Ming Jing gave her a hand: "Be careful."

The waiter facing him was pushing a small trolley with red wine and an ice bucket on it. The waiter hurriedly protected the red wine and frowned at Tao Xingxing.

"This is a 47-year-old Blanc, a bottle of 200,000 yuan, can you afford it if it crashes?"

When Tao Xingxing heard that a bottle of red wine was 200,000 yuan, he was so frightened that his soul flew away. Is this drinking gold? Gold is not so expensive...

"Sorry, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to." Tao Xingxing hurriedly apologized.

Ming Jing glanced at the waiter lightly, and the waiter suddenly felt a chill on his back, and pushed the small cart away inexplicably.

"Walk carefully." Ming Jing warned.

Tao Xingxing raised his hand and stroked his chest, "What red wine is two hundred thousand a bottle? My god."

Ming Jing glanced back, the waiter pushed the trolley into a private room, and between the opening and closing of the door, the elegant face of the middle-aged man flashed by.

Box 202 is at the corner of the stairs, the waiter walked over and knocked on the door, the door opened soon, and Wu Jiaqi came out.

Wu Jiaqi wore a black suit and skirt today, her long hair was tied into a ponytail at the back of her head, showing the spirit of a professional person. She is a delicate beauty with a small frame. She was pure when she was young, and she did not show her age in middle age. Still like a little girl in her early twenties, but with a little more mature charm.

It should be because he drank some wine, his cheeks were a little flushed, and he showed a bit of charming style.

"Xing Xing, you are here, Ming Jing, I'm sorry, Auntie's carelessness made you make this trip."

"It's okay, Auntie." Ming Jing handed the document to Wu Jiaqi.

"Hurry up and go home, my side will be later, Xing Xing, your father has to be on duty at night, so you should lock the door at home at night..." Wu Jiaqi urged in a nagging voice.

Tao Xingxing said "Oh", and looked at Wu Jiaqi worriedly: "Mom, you have a bad stomach, drink less alcohol, and let Dad know about you again."

"I got it, I got it, let's go back quickly." Wu Jiaqi's concern for her daughter was very helpful, she smiled dotingly, and waved her hands to tell them to leave quickly.

At this time, a man's drunken voice came from inside the door: "Mr. Wu, you are so unkind. You want to slip away after drinking half of this wine. Hey, this is Mr. Wu's daughter? She looks so beautiful." The man with a big belly came out of the box, his eyes fell on Tao Xingxing's face, it was bright at first, and when it fell on Ming Jing, his eyes almost popped out.

"Where did this fairy come from? Mr. Wu has a heart." The man smiled wretchedly.

Wu Jiaqi's complexion changed, and she quickly stood in front of Ming Jing and Tao Xingxing, and said coldly: "Mr. Li, they are still children, and they came to send me the quotation. Didn't you say that you can't sign without the quotation? Now the quotation is here." , let’s talk about the signing.”

"It's easy to talk about signing the contract. What's the name of this little girl? How old is she and where does she live?" The man said as he walked towards Mingjing, "How about having a few drinks with me, brother?"

Tao Xingxing had never seen this kind of battle before, although he was frightened, he subconsciously stood in front of Ming Jing, pushed him suddenly, and cursed: "Are you disgusting, get out, don't touch my friend."

The man staggered from being pushed, his face showed anger, and he glared at Wu Jiaqi: "Mr. Wu, what does this mean?"

Wu Jiaqi glanced at Ming Jing apologetically, "Auntie apologizes later, for letting you encounter such a disgusting thing, Xing Xing, you and Ming Jing can go first, don't worry about it here."

There was a hint of crying in Tao Xingxing's tone: "Mom... If I don't leave, he will definitely bully you, or we call the police...."

Wu Jiaqi shook her head: "Don't worry about it, let's go, mom will take care of it."

"Let's go? None of you can leave today. If you want to sign the contract, let this little girl stay and have a few drinks with me. Don't worry, it's just a drink. How about it? Your company has failed judgments one after another. If you can't sign this The contract is not far from bankruptcy, whichever is more important, Mr. Wu must always have a steelyard in his heart."

The man laughed sullenly, and his eyes fell on Ming Jing. This girl is really beautiful and different from others. The first time I saw it, it was hard to look away.

Wu Jiaqi's face was livid: "Mr. Li, don't bully people too much, they are just children."

Ming Jing smiled: "Auntie, don't get angry, if you want me to drink with him, it depends on whether he has the guts."
