Xuxu strode to the bathroom and said, “Bai Jing, I’m leaving . ”
“Okay,” Bai Jing answered .
Her voice sounded gentle and soft .
She left the room and shut the door after her . She then strode towards the stairs .
Bai Jing heard the door closing, and she slowly stopped washing the clothes .
The water kept flowing from the tap, but she didn’t seem to realize it .
In her mind, the scene of Jiao Chen kissing Su Yue replayed repeatedly . And of how the crowd’s opinions of Su Yue .
Su Yue had changed how people saw her so effortlessly .
Yet, rumors of her being a mistress kept by an old man seemed to have become the truth to everyone .
Very few people knew about her being drugged . It couldn’t be Lei Yong since he still needed her .
And it couldn’t be the repulsive President Chen .
And of course, the man… and Wen Xuxu wouldn’t reveal it to anyone .
Other than them, Su Yue knew that even if she had unintentionally blurted it out, it was still her fault .
She was always so naïve, pure, and innocent in the eyes of everyone . Even if she made a mistake, there will always be someone to rectify the mistake on her behalf .
No matter how much trouble she met, she always seemed to escape unscathed .
How can their fates be so vastly different?
Bai Jing became more resentful and indignant the more she mulled over it . She gazed at her own reflection and recalled the hardship and humiliation she had suffered at the Lei family . She had lost her pride and dignity .
Still, she would never choose to seek help from him . She didn’t want him to pity her or to render help .
She wanted to depend on herself to get through everything . She wanted to become someone better . At least the disparity in status between them wouldn’t be so huge .
If only he didn’t help her before, perhaps he would care to notice her presence a little more .
So even if people misunderstood her and everyone looked down on her, she still needed to make her way to the top . She wanted to create a wonderful future for herself .
Ming Ansheng entered and removed his shoes .
He wore his socks into the house and impatiently tugged at his tie .
“Second Young Master . ”
The servants greeted him politely, but he ignored everyone as though he was lost in thoughts .
He strode towards the staircase .
When he reached the study, he pushed the door open .
A pair of furious-looking eyes were staring at him and he received a shock . He then arranged his face into a somber expression before shutting the door behind him .
Ming Zhongsheng was standing in the middle of the study as he glared at Ming Ansheng . He sharply questioned him . “Is that you?”
“Grandfather, what are you referring to?” Ming Ansheng casually glanced at him .
He already had an inkling with what he was talking about . But he pretended not to know .
Ming Zhongsheng sneered coldly . “Don’t put on a pretense . Others might not be able to recognize you, but you’re my grandson . I can recognize you in a heartbeat . ”
Ming Ansheng stopped beside Ming Zhongsheng .
After he halted his footsteps, he glanced at him . “Yes . So what if it’s me?”
There wasn’t a trace of fear in his tone .
“You…” Ming Zhongsheng couldn’t catch his breath as he pointed threateningly at Ming Ansheng . “I’m warning you, bury your feelings for her . Even if she is Yan Rusheng’s sister, with her status as an illegitimate daughter, there is no way I would accept her . ”
