“Are you Ms. Zhao?” Ming Jing looked at Zhao Xueying, speaking softly and politely.
Compared to her sharp and composed action in confronting Jessica Feng and the principal just now, the young girl was now filled with a gentle warmth like spring rain.
Zhao Xueying was somewhat surprised and said, “Ms. Ming Jing, it’s me.”Explore new 𝒏ovels on n𝒐velbi𝒏(.)com
“Thank you for taking care of Ming Chen and Ming Ti at school. I’m sorry for causing you trouble today.”
“It’s no trouble at all. The two children are very well-behaved and sensible. I’ve always been curious about how extraordinary their parents must be to raise such outstanding children. Today, after meeting you, Ms. Ming Jing, my doubts have been dispelled; it’s all thanks to your excellent teachings.”
The sincerity in Zhao Xueying’s expression and tone made it impossible to sense any flattery.
Ming Chen clung to Ming Jing’s sleeve, and Ming Ti stood obediently beside her. Although the two children were young, they were more mature than their classmates. They didn’t seem like children of their age, but in the presence of Ming Jing, they were as timid as mice before a cat.
It was astonishing that Ming Jing, who didn’t look much older than them and should be in her second year of high school, had such authority.
As Ming Jing left the office, Ming Ti and Ming Chen followed closely behind, and Zhang Yunfang secretly followed them.
At an empty corridor, Ming Jing stopped without turning around.
There was a drizzly rain and a gusty wind outside, casting a gloomy and oppressive atmosphere that made it difficult to breathe.
Ming Ti and Ming Chen felt their hearts jump at the same time. Ming Chen spoke in a low voice nervously, “Ming Jing, I was wrong.”
“What’s the problem?” The cold voice was devoid of emotion.
Ming Ti hesitated, “You warned us to be cautious and patient, but Ming Chen and I failed to obey.”
“Ming Jing, we were wrong.” The two said in unison.
After a long while, there was a deep sigh.
Ming Jing turned around, her white garments fluttering in the wind.
Ming Ti and Ming Chen bowed their heads even lower.
“You didn’t do anything wrong in this matter.”
Ming Ti and Ming Chen looked up in surprise, and Ming Jing gazed back at them with a gentle expression, warming their hearts. The tears they had held back for so long finally welled up.
They rushed to Ming Jing, one on each side, hugging her waist tightly and wiping their tears on her skirt.
“Ming Jing, it was Li Yu who started spreading rumors about us. I just wanted to clear our names, but she got angry and I accidentally scratched her face.” Ming Chen knew Ming Jing wouldn’t like her ruthless means and quickly explained herself.
“When I told you to be patient, it didn’t mean you should always endure. Sometimes you need to fight back, or else you’d be no different than a coward. But before that, you need enough strength. Otherwise, you’ll be like an egg hitting a rock, shattering yourself while leaving your opponent unscathed.”
Ming Jing’s gentle and patient tone was like a gentle stream, soothing their troubled hearts.
Ming Ti and Ming Chen listened intently. Ming Chen suddenly clenched her fists, “I understand, Ming Jing. I will become very powerful so that no one would dare to look down on me or bully me, just like you.”
Ming Jing smiled and shook her head, “At your age, you should focus on your studies because your current role is that of a student.”
Ming Ti caught on immediately. “Ming Jing, I understand. We can only secure our place in the school with exceptional grades. But Li Yu manipulated her power, and the principal feared her authority, rendering him powerless. If it weren’t for you, Ming Chen and I would have been expelled.”
Ming Ti frowned. Their exceptional grades couldn’t protect them from being expelled without hesitation by the principal when confronted with power, which showed that even top grades were useless against authority.
Despite their hard work in school and life, they hadn’t earned the respect they deserved, which was disheartening.
Ming Jing patted Ming Ti’s head and smiled, “Don’t worry about what others do; just focus on ourselves. Live our lives without regrets, worthy of the world.”
Ming Ti and Ming Chen stared blankly at the gentle and beautiful face before them. Her words were so soft yet deeply resonated within them.
Live without regrets, worthy of the world.
Ming Ti recalled, “Ming Jing, you once told us the story of Hanshan and Shide. Hanshan asked Shide, ‘People in this world slander me, deceive me, insult me, scorn me, belittle me, despise me, hate me, and trick me. How should I deal with it?’ Shide replied, ‘Just bear it, ignore it, and avoid it. Treat them with patience, respect, and let them be. Wait a few years, and you’ll see.’”
