Wu Zheng finally had a full-body check on the old madam, and after finding no problems, he left.
“Professor Wu, the one who saved the person is the real daughter of the Zhu family who just returned, right? She’s quite young but knows medical skills; that’s amazing.” On the way back in the ambulance, a young nurse exclaimed.
Another slightly older nurse said, “She’s quite extraordinary. The rumors outside say the real daughter came from a small place, ugly and vulgar beyond belief, completely different from the fake one. These people should really come to see for themselves, to know who’s ugly and who’s vulgar.”
Wu Zheng chuckled, “I haven’t seen the whole picture, so I won’t comment. This is the best proof.”
After waking up and hearing about the incident, Zhu Xiangxiang hurried to see Granny Zhu. Granny Zhu was resting, and she didn’t see her.
“Mom, I heard that Ming Jing saved Granny, and she even knows medical skills! That’s so amazing.”
Lin Qing’s face showed displeasure, and she snorted, “Just some petty tricks.”
o
Zhu Xiangxiang was taken aback. When she first learned that she was the faux daughter, she was terrified, afraid that the Zhus would kick her out, afraid that Lin Qing would like her biological daughter more, and nothing could outweigh blood bonds.
After the real daughter returned, she was on tenterhooks every day. Later, without knowing why, Lin Qing only scoffed at Ming Jing, never giving her a proper look, as if Ming Jing was not her biological daughter, but an enemy.
Zhu Xiangxiang was curious and relieved at the same time. At least she didn’t have to worry about being disliked by Lin Qing as she didn’t need to put any effort into breaking the bond between Lin Qing and Ming Jing.
“It was her who caused the problem. If she doesn’t take responsibility, who will?” Lin Qing was now in a mess, with a chaotic mind.O
“What does Granny’s illness have to do with Ming Jing?” Zhu Xiangxiang couldn’t help but smile bitterly. She suddenly realized that when someone is determined to blame you, no matter what you say or do, it’s in vain.
To charge someone with a crime, they can always find a reason. For the first time, Zhu Xiangxiang felt a little sympathy for Ming Jing.
“That night, your Granny objected to us asking Ming Jing for help. I didn’t listen to her. She got angry, and many illnesses are caused by anger. Your
Granny is no exception. Shouldn’t I put this blame on Ming Jing’s head?” Lin Qing said boldly and confidently.
Zhu Xiangxiang was shocked by her absurd logic, opened her mouth, and found that anything she said would be in vain, so she simply kept quiet.
Lin Qing worried about Zhu Wentao and stood up, saying, “I will go and see the company. You stay at home and take care of your Granny.”
Lin Qing used to be a strong woman, but after having Zhu Shaodan, she shifted her focus to family and stopped dealing with company matters. She only occasionally went to the company to remind everyone that she was the boss’s wife.
Recently, due to Ming Jing’s affairs, she hadn’t been to the company for a long time, more than three months.
Zhu Group Building was located in the bustling city center. As soon as she got out of the car, the security guards at the door immediately came forward:
“Hello, Madam.”
Another security guard was about to make a phone call, but Lin Qing stopped him: “Hold on, I came today just to take a casual look around. Don’t alarm the others.”
Lin Qing entered the lobby, and the two receptionists at the front desk were whispering. Lin Qing happened to overhear them.
“Do you think Secretary Zhou is really resigning? She’s the President’s most trusted subordinate, always being taken everywhere, even more favored than Secretary Wang. Why does she want to resign?
“You’re silly. She’s only been with the company for three months and is already more favored than Secretary Wang. Even a fool could guess what’s going on. Secretary Wang has been with the President for ten years.”
“So the company’s private rumors are true? Secretary Zhou, she… ”
One of the girls looked up and saw a noblewoman standing in front of her, casting a huge shadow. She saw the woman’s expressionless face, as if a storm was brewing.
The girl was frightened and cautiously stood up: ‘Ma…Madam, when did you arrive?”
The other receptionist was new and hadn’t met Lin Qing before. She stood up calmly, “Hello, may I help you with anything?”
Her companion silently gave her a thumbs up, only the ignorant are fearless.
Lin Qing smiled and spoke gently, “Gossiping is prohibited during working hours. Remember that?”
The girl hurriedly replied, “Yes, I know I was wrong, Madam. Please forgive me.”
“Knowing your mistake and correcting it is the greatest virtue. Work hard. By the way, don’t notify the secretary’s desk about my visit. I’m just taking a casual look.”
With that, she turned and walked towards the elevator.
The other girl whispered, “Why are you so scared of her? Who is she?”
The girl hurriedly covered her mouth: “Keep your voice down. Let me tell you, she is the President’s wife, the head of the Zhu family, Lin Qing.” The other person widened her eyes in surprise, “My God, then what we just
“…A storm is coming.”
The VIP elevator went straight to the top floor of the President’s office.
Lin Qing touched up her makeup in the elevator’s mirror, fixed her hair, straightened her collar, smiled at herself in the mirror, tilted her chin slightly, and her noble and dignified image as a lady fully displayed.
“Ding” The elevator door opened, and Lin Qing walked out slowly, in her high heels and with her limited-edition handbag on her arm.
Standing at the door of the office, she took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and felt her hands trembling, but she absolutely couldn’t panic at this time.
Opening her eyes again, there was no emotion in her eyes, only endless aloofness and coldness.
The office was very large, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city’s hustle and bustle. To the left was a rest bedroom with a full set of rooms, including a kitchen and bathroom, as well as a small bar. She had personally designed the office to ensure Zhu Wentao could rest well when he was busy.
No one was there. Lin Qing looked around, and her gaze fell on the coat rack at the door, where a lady’s sun hat and a white alligator skin handbag hung identical to the one on her arm.
The handbag was a gift from Zhu Wentao for her birthday this year, one of only five in the world.
Lin Qing tugged at the corner of her mouth; it was so ironic.
At that moment, the door of the bedroom suddenly opened, and a young woman walked out, “Isn’t there a meeting? How did you come back so soon…?”
As the woman looked up, she saw the woman standing in the office, and her face instantly turned pale..o
