Chapter 354: 162 The Lius (Second Watch)

After that, for the next four days, Liu Muxue stuck to Ming Jing like a dog-skin plaster.

Ming Jing pretended to ignore her.

“Here, for you.”

A beautifully designed notebook with embedded rhinestones was handed to Ming Jing, who looked up.

Liu Muxue said reluctantly, “This is my notebook, my painstaking effort. Consider it repayment for you saving me that night, even though it was your fault that I got sick. But let me tell you, even if you read it, it won’t help you. You definitely won’t be able to get into CMO. Don’t waste your time.”

Ming Jing accepted the notebook, “Thank you.”

“You… you really want it? Have you no pride?”

Ming Jing couldn’t help but laugh, “Why wouldn’t I want a prodigy’s notebook? I should learn a lot from it and be more efficient. Besides, I saved you, so being grateful is normal. There’s no need to come up with a far-fetched excuse.”

Ming Jing stopped paying attention to Liu Muxue and started reading the notebook.

As expected from a genius, Liu Muxue’s thinking was much more imaginative than Song Yinzhang’s methodical approach. In the world of mathematics, it’s these unexpected and brilliant ideas that create miracles. This is what makes a genius truly valuable.

Newton’s falling apple laid the foundation for physics, but an ordinary person would only feel a headache if an apple fell on their head.

As they say, everyone is unique, and each person’s thoughts are different. There’s no limit to one’s thinking, and knowledge will never end.

Humans will never stop exploring this path.

“Who has no pride?” Liu Muxue snorted and turned to leave.

Song Yinzhang shook his head and chuckled, “Liu Muxue is really interesting.”

The four days of the training camp passed quickly, and after the exams, everyone went their separate ways.

Those who are destined will meet again at the CMO, while those who aren’t will end their journey here.

Ming Jing returned to the dormitory to pack her things, which fit easily into a small carry-on bag.

At this time, Liu Muxue came in, followed by two middle-aged women.

“Miss, this dormitory is so shabby. How did you survive these twenty days? My dear Miss, you have really suffered.”

“Yes, miss, if the madam knew, she would be heartbroken.”Expplôre 𝒖ptod𝒂te stories at no/𝒗el//bin(.)c𝒐m

As the two women complained, they quickly began to pack Liu Muxue’s things.

Xie Zhen, Wang Xin, and others stared incredulously. Was this what a rich family’s young lady looked like?

They looked at Ming Jing, who only had a small carry-on bag that probably weighed less than a pound…

Both were from wealthy families, yet the gap between them was enormous.

Liu Muxue said irritably, “You all talk too much.”

Ming Jing left without saying a word, and Liu Muxue rushed in front of her to block her way: looking up at Ming Jing.

“Let me ask you, how did you do on the exam?”

“Not bad, I guess.”

Liu Muxue’s eyebrows furrowed, “What do you mean ‘not bad’? If you don’t get into CMO, wouldn’t that prove my notebook wasn’t helpful? Are you trying to tarnish my reputation?”

What a peculiar logic. Is this how genius brains work?

Ming Jing nodded, “We’ll meet at CMO.”

She walked past Liu Muxue, not looking back.

Liu Muxue chased after her, but there was no trace of Ming Jing. Liu Muxue stomped her foot in frustration.

As everyone gradually left, Liu Muxue returned to the dormitory. One nanny grabbed an exquisite notebook from the table and asked, “Miss, do you still need this notebook?”

Liu Muxue suddenly snatched it, “Of course I do.”

It was the notebook she had given to Ming Jing, who had left it on her desk when she left.

“Ungrateful fellow,” Liu Muxue muttered as she opened the notebook. Suddenly, she saw a note had fallen out.

As she picked up the note, Liu Muxue saw that it contained a prescription with clear instructions for dosage and administration. The handwriting was strong and vigorous, exuding confidence.

Seeing such writing was like seeing the writer in person someone with profound knowledge and insight.

Four big words followed: Take your medicine on time!

Even though she couldn’t see the person behind the words, the sense of power in these four words felt overwhelming.

Liu Muxue couldn’t help but laugh as she looked at the note. One of the nannies noticed and asked, “Miss, have you encountered something amusing? It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you laugh so heartily.”

Liu Muxue immediately put on a straight face again, “Did I laugh? Which eye of yours saw me laughing?”

At the school gate, a luxurious Rolls-Royce awaited. Liu Muxue came out wearing a sunhat and sunglasses, followed by two nannies carrying suitcases.A well-dressed old man got out of the Rolls-Royce and respectfully shouted, “Miss, you’re finally back.”

Liu Muxue lazily called out, “Uncle Liu,” and then lowered her head to get into the car.

As the car drove onto the main road, Liu Muxue took off her sunglasses. Uncle Liu asked, “Miss, how have you been feeling lately? Is the pressure from school too much? Madam worries about you every day and can’t sleep.”

Liu Muxue looked somewhat impatient, then asked, “Are there any Zhus in Jiangzhou?”

Xie Zhen had mentioned the Zhu Group that day.

Uncle Liu was stunned, wondering why the young lady suddenly asked about this.

“Yes, the Jiangzhou Zhus are considered wealthy in this area, but they made their fortune not long ago and still can’t change their nouveau riche habits. They can’t enter the higher social classes and are even more incomparable to our Jiangnan Lius,” Uncle Liu said disdainfully.

The Jiangnan Lius were a scholarly family with a long and prosperous history.

The Liu family lived in Liuxian Town, 200 kilometers south of Jiangzhou, far away from the hustle and bustle of the mundane world, living a life of non-contention.

They prided themselves as a great aristocratic family, looking down on the so-called wealthy families of modern cities, calling them full of vulgar money stench.

The Liu family was highly respected in the local area, with offspring spread across various fields, thriving and continuing their lineage. The current head of the Liu family was Liu Muxue’s father, Liu Zhangshen. Zhangshen had only one daughter, who was his beloved treasure.

“Why did the young lady ask about the Zhu family?” Uncle Liu asked.

Liu Muxue shook her head, “Nothing.”

“By the way, Miss, the family has been a bit uneasy these days. Madam asked you to come back to your Jiangzhou aunt’s house for a few days first, and then go back to the family once everything is settled.”

Liu Muxue raised her eyebrows, “What happened?”

Uncle Liu hesitated for a moment, “Your health is not good, Madam doesn’t want these mundane matters to disturb you.”

“Not telling me is what disturbs me, just tell me.”

Uncle Liu sighed, “Master wants to acknowledge the child from the second branch of the family and register him under Madam’s name. He would officially be your eldest brother. Madam doesn’t agree and is quarreling with Master about it. But the master has no choice; there are three unfilial acts, and having no offspring is the biggest. The clan elders are using this to pressure him. If he doesn’t do it, the master has to hand over the position of the head.”

Liu Muxue sneered, “They treat me like I’m nothing.”

Uncle Liu’s face turned a little awkward. There was nothing he could do; this was a tradition spanning thousands of years. Girls couldn’t inherit family business, especially because the young miss had a frail body. Even if she is smart and clever, she wouldn’t be able to pass the elder’s scrutiny.

“The child from the second branch? Wasn’t he expelled by Grandfather back then? Did they find him?”

“They found him, but it’s a pity…”

Liu Muxue waved her hand dismissively, “A child born of a concubine doesn’t deserve to be my brother.”

“So, Miss, should we go straight to the Li’s house?”

“No, go home. I want to see what kind of ability this child of a concubine has to dare call himself my brother.”

“By the way, make my medicine according to this prescription from now on.” Liu Muxue handed the rewritten prescription to Uncle Liu.

Uncle Liu took a glance and asked in astonishment, “Miss, who gave this to you?”

“Don’t worry about it, just do as it says.” Liu Muxue frowned.

Uncle Liu thought to himself, he should first find Doctor Hua to check it before making any move, lest the young lady be deceived.

Xiao Wen was dozing off when she suddenly saw a girl in a white dress walking in. For a moment, she thought she was dreaming.

“Ms… Ms. Zhu?” Lin Ling was the first to react, standing up and stuttering.

In an instant, everyone in the office stood up and respectfully bowed to Zhu.

This was their first time seeing Ming Jing in person.

She was even more gentle and beautiful than on television, with an otherworldly temperament that seemed to bring a misty special effect with her.

Ming Jing smiled, “I came to find…”

She paused, “Zheng Qing.”

“Zheng Qing is in the office. You come with me.” Xiao Wen excitedly led Ming Jing toward the office.

As soon as Ming Jing left, the whole office exploded in chatter.

Zheng Qing saw Ming Jing and immediately stood up from his chair, surprised, “How did you show up here?”

Xiao Wen sneaked a glance at the man, without the usual cold indifference. At this moment, Qing Zheng looked somewhat cute and at a loss.

Xiao Wen left with a feeling of loss as she closed the office door behind her.

Ming Jing stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the Zhu Group building not far away.

“Nice view.”
