From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables - Chapter 531
Chapter 531: 248 Wish Fulfilled (Second Update)
“What did you say?”
Ming Jing’s low murmur, but Ye Zhen couldn’t hear clearly.
“Nothing.” Ming Jing closed the book.
“I heard that Xinghui Entertainment bought the copyright for this novel. Before, the original author refused to sell it, but somehow they got it later. Xinghui planned to make a movie, but now that they are in trouble, this IP will be shelved.”
Last year, the news had already come out. At that time, she told Liang Xiaohong that if they were to choose a female actress, they should definitely consider her because she is a diehard fan of this book and no one understands the female lead better than her.
Liang Xiaohong vowed at that time that the role would be hers.
Speaking of Liang Xiaohong, Ye Zhen’s mood dropped.
The internet was filled with news that Liang Xiaohong had attempted suicide because of fear of crime in the detention center, and she was still in critical condition.
Considering Liang Xiaohong’s character, committing suicide out of fear just didn’t make sense.
Ming Jing seemed to guess what she was thinking, “Don’t think too much about it. Go to sleep early.”

Ming Jing’s name was on the hot search again — Ming Jing got into the national Olympic training team.
Many people said that Ming Jing’s CMO Gold Medal placement was just a fluke, a one-time super-level performance, and it couldn’t be counted as her true skill.
Now that she has entered the national training team, won the CMO Gold Medal, and is directly recommended to enter Huaqing University.
This is no longer just a super-level performance.
Clicking on the hot search, there are many netizens who don’t understand, but fans are eagerly introducing Ming Jing’s achievements. The more they know, the more amazed they become.
It involves aspects that everyone has never known before. At this moment, everyone deeply realizes that this compassionate girl will continue to create more miracles.
Right under this hot search is the hot search on Liang Xiaohong’s suicidal incident. The comments are all scathing.
The contrast is ironic.
At the same time, the popularity of the upcoming idol girl reality show soars to a high position.
Last year, this talent show brought out ST, a girl group sensation. Will it create another legend this year? The public is looking forward to it.
Meanwhile, the official Weibo account announced the four mentors of the show. The last mentor revealed caused a frenzy across the internet.
Because he is — Qu Feitai.
Since the show A Day of Three Meals, Qu Feitai has not made a public appearance. Rumor has it, he has been working quietly on a new album. Now, three months later, he finally has news, and his fans can’t wait to spread the word.
Apple Video will premiere the show tomorrow night at 8 o’clock.

That night, the Bo family’s house was brightly lit.
Bo Lianye excitedly ran over with her phone, “Granny, Aunt, Uncle will be back on a plane the day after tomorrow.”
“Really?” Granny Bo was so excited she wanted to stand up. Bo Yujiang quickly supported her, “Mom, don’t get so worked up. I’ll pick him up at the airport myself.”
“Madam Zhang, go buy some fish. Axun loves eating fish. Oh, and his room, Rou’en, clean it yourself tomorrow. Air the quilts too. He loves cleanliness and can’t stand musty smells.”
Ji Rou’en smiled, “Mom, don’t worry. I’ll arrange everything.”
Indeed, in Granny Bo’s heart, her youngest son was her treasure. Even Bo Yujiang had to stand aside.
Her youngest son had been away for over a decade. Why did he suddenly think of coming back?
Ji Rou’en pondered then mentioned the matter to Bo Yujian that night, “Yuxun will be back the day after tomorrow.”
Bo Yujian, leaning against the bed and reading a newspaper, casually responded with a “Hmm.”
“Yuxun should be 36 this year, right? No matter how successful he is, it’s not good for him to be alone without someone to care for him. How about Qingxing?”Bo Yujian frowned a bit and looked up at her. After decades of marriage, how could he not see through the idea she had in mind?
“Your cousin Qingxing from your mother’s side?”
“It’s quite a coincidence that she also happens to work at the State Medical College, although she’s in the gynecology department. Qingxing has a lot of men chasing her in the hospital, and her background and appearance are a good match with Yujian. If they get married, it would really be like adding a new branch to the family tree.”
“What kind of a match? Don’t blame me for speaking plainly, but you should give up this idea as soon as possible. Have you forgotten why Yujian went abroad in the first place?”
“It’s been more than ten years since then, and he should have let it go by now. How can it be that your brother will never get married? I don’t believe he stayed pure abroad for more than ten years. With his face wreaking havoc, he must have had countless girlfriends. My cousin is smart and beautiful, so she wouldn’t be underselling herself.”
Bo Yujian put down the newspaper, his face turning dark in an instant: “I’ll say it for the last time, don’t meddle in Yujian’s marriage. If you upset Yujian and make a scene, I won’t be able to handle it.”
It seemed to remind Ji Rou’en of something, and she couldn’t help but mutter: “Back then, it was all Granny Bo’s fault, who insisted on breaking up the lovers for no reason…”
“Don’t say it,” Bo Yujian interrupted her sternly, “I don’t want to hear that kind of talk again.”
Ji Rou’en grumbled and lay down.
“Fine, let’s not talk about your brother, let’s talk about your sister. She’s quite something too, married twice, and both husbands died in accidents. Do you know what people are saying behind her back? That she’s cursed, it’s so weird. I don’t know how long her current boyfriend will last either. Granny Bo’s twins are all freaks, as if they came back to seek revenge…”
Listening to the footsteps behind her, Ji Rou’en turned her head and saw Bo Yujian walking out with a pillow under his arm.
“Where are you going?”
“I’m sleeping in the study tonight.” He left without looking back, slamming the door behind him.
“Bastard.” Ji Rou’en threw a pillow at him.
After soothing Granny Bo to sleep, Bo Yujiang carefully closed the bedroom door. As he returned to his room, he collided with Bo Yujian, who looked surprised at the pillow tucked under his arm. “Big brother, did you have an argument with my sister-in-law again?”
Bo Yujian’s attitude towards Bo Yujiang seemed much warmer, like that of a good older brother. “I still have some business to deal with. You look a bit off today, are you tired lately?”
“I’m fine, big brother. You can go ahead with your work.”
Bo Yujian reached out to ruffle Bo Yujiang’s hair, smiling, “Your second brother is coming back. When you came back, he had an accident and had to go abroad, so you haven’t really spent any time together all these years. Now you’ll finally be reunited.”
Bo Yujiang’s eyes flickered slightly, but he smiled and said, “Yes, I’m really happy to hear that my second brother is coming back. The most important thing is that my mother is overjoyed. She misses him so much, and now her wish is finally fulfilled. By the way, big brother, what exactly happened to my second brother back then?”
Bo Yujian sighed, “It’s not something that can be explained in a sentence or two. I’ll tell you about it later when we have time. It’s late now, so go back to your room and rest.” With that, he left for the study.
Bo Yujiang’s brows furrowed, and when he went back to his room, his phone on the table rang.
“Xiang Kui, Xinghui Entertainment went under, and the rights to ‘Wind on the Clouds’ were bought at a high price by an unknown small entertainment company.” The assistant called to inform her.
“An unknown entertainment company?”
“I think it’s called ‘Unspeakable’–what a weird name. They’re headquartered in Jiangzhou and only have a history of less than half a year. They agreed to sell it to Xinghui before because Xinghui promised to invest heavily to build up the IP. Now that Xinghui is gone, the rights have fallen into the hands of an unknown company. Will it ruin the IP? This is your life’s work.”
Bo Yujiang pinched her brow, feeling agitated, “Why are you only telling me now?”
“Xiang Kui, I only just found out too. The other party paid more than five times the market price for it. The executives at Xinghui were only looking out for themselves, and they wanted to take the money and run while they could. No one else even had time to react, and this small company moved very quickly.”
Nobody could have predicted that Xinghui Entertainment would collapse so fast, crumbling almost overnight.
The once glorious Xinghui Entertainment had completely turned into a thing of the past.
Bo Yujiang thought for a moment and said, “Forget it, if they were willing to buy it at such a high price, they must take it seriously.”
After hanging up, Bo Yujiang lay in bed. In a half-asleep state, a hazy face appeared amidst the misty light.
The person was covered in blood, and two lines of blood-tainted tears flowed from his empty eyes…
“Ah…” Bo Yujiang screamed and suddenly woke up from the nightmare.
A beautiful and gentle girl’s face flashed in her mind, and Bo Yujiang suddenly felt a cold shiver run up from the soles of her feet.
It was the girl she saw outside the auditorium this afternoon.
The moment she saw her, Bo Yujiang had a very uncomfortable feeling.
