From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables - Chapter 568
Chapter 568: 277 Mysterious (First Watch)
Heading south for several tens of meters, they went through a pitch-black long alley.
The streetlights were sometimes on and sometimes off, there wasn’t a single figure in sight for quite some time. Liu Muxue subconsciously moved closer to Ming Jing, watching her surroundings vigilantly.
“What kind of ghost place is this?”
The entrance to the residential community finally appeared before them.
Xidi Harbor.
The imposing gate was built with luxury, tall palm trees were planted on both sides of the road, a security guard in a neat uniform holding a long gun stood guard in the dark night, and the distant high-rises flickered brightly and dimly.
Before they could approach, they were stopped, showing the tight security of this community.
Soon, a panting woman in her 50s or 60s came running over, “Security comrades, it’s all a misunderstanding, these two are guests of our young lady.”
“Ms. Mao’s guest?”
The security guard received a phone call at this time, and after hanging up, he opened the door to let the people in.
The woman smiled and said, “You must be the young lady’s friends. Come in with me.”
“Thank you very much.” Ming Jing nodded her head and followed the woman in.
“I’m just a nanny at the girl’s house, so please don’t be polite to me, just call me Nanny Cui.”
Nanny Cui led the way to the front, and they entered the residential building where the lights were bright. Nanny Cui glanced up inadvertently, and was startled to see the girl in white under the lights.
“Ms. Su?”
Ming Jing raised her eyebrows, looking at the shocked old woman in front of her.
Liu Muxue chuckled, “Nanny Cui, you must have confused her with someone else. Her last name isn’t Su.”
Nanny Cui raised her hand to cover Ming Jing’s eyes from a distance, “She looks… too much like her.”
Ming Jing stepped into the elevator, Nanny Cui reacted quickly and followed her in, swiped her card, and the number on the elevator automatically jumped to the ninth floor.
As the elevator doors slowly closed, Liu Muxue glanced at Ming Jing, who appeared uninterested in the matter, and approached Nanny Cui with a beaming smile, “Nanny Cui, who is this Ms. Su you mentioned? Does she really look like Ming Jing?”
Nanny Cui’s eyes were fixed on Ming Jing’s face, as if trying to recall something through her.
“Ms. Su, she…,” Nanny Cui shook her head, “I can’t say.”
Under the light, Nanny Cui’s face turned pale in an instant.
Later, no matter how much Liu Muxue tried to get more information, Nanny Cui refused to say another word.
Liu Muxue couldn’t help but stare at Ming Jing’s face, “Who is this Ms. Su she mentioned?”
The ninth floor arrived, and Ming Jing walked past Liu Muxue and out of the elevator.
It was one elevator per residence. Exiting the elevator led directly to the entrance area, Nanny Cui opened the shoe cabinet and found two clean pairs of slippers for the two to change into.
Ming Jing entered the living room, and Mao Nana slouched on the sofa, breathing more out than in, weakly raising her hand, “Ming Jing, you guys finally came, it’s great to see me for the last time.”
Nanny Cui took the fruit basket from Ming Jing, and chattered, “The young lady insisted on having plastic surgery, taking such an ordeal and not eating for three days. She could only drink some liquid through a straw, her body is a mess.”
Mao Nana’s face was wrapped like a mummy, she struggled to sit up, “For beauty, I can endure any suffering.”
Liu Muxue gave her a thumbs up, “Impressive, with your determination, you’ll definitely be more beautiful than Luo Ziyin.”
Mao Nana scoffed, “Luo Ziyin is also a product of plastic surgery, so why should I compare with her?”
Liu Muxue was attracted by a telescope on the balcony, “Nana, you’re an astronomy enthusiast?”
Mao Nana coughed, “Well… it’s a hobby.”
Liu Muxue looked out through the eyepiece and exclaimed, “So beautiful…!”
Just that the angle…
Liu Muxue gestured, the telescope was pointing not at the sky but at a Siheyuan not far away.
“Astronomical telescopes use an inverted prism, right? Yours is clearly an erect one…,” As a genius student, Liu Muxue possessed this basic physics knowledge.
Unless the telescope was not used to observe celestial bodies, as for its purpose, that would be open to interpretation.
“Cough cough… cough cough…,” Mao Nana was about to cough her lungs out, give me some face, please.
Liu Muxue’s eyes rolled around, she adjusted the focus and took a closer look, “Wow… whose house is having a banquet, so lively, so many people!”Telescopes make everything so clear, even people’s faces.
“Isn’t that the annoying brat with the last name Bai? And Song Yinzhang, hmm, Bo Lianye is there too, quite lively.”
Mao Nana is desperate and secretly glances at Ming Jing. “I’m just bored at home and wanted to find some fun secretly, but don’t worry, I have no other intentions. My heart is with your brother, I swear to God.”
Mao Nana is afraid Ming Jing doesn’t believe her and starts to swear immediately.
Ming Jing smiles and holds her hand, “Nana, I know.”
Mao Nana holds her hand, “Ming Jing, you’re so nice. Whoever marries you will be blessed.”
The smile on Ming Jing’s face is slightly restrained.
At this time, Nanny Cui brings over the fruits Ming Jing has brought, after washing and cutting them, “Tonight, I will make braised shrimp. Our miss likes it a lot. What do you like, little miss? I can cook it for you. My cooking is not to be bragged about.”
“Alright, Nanny Cui, no need to keep praising yourself. Just prepare the few signature dishes you’re good at.”
“Alright.” Nanny Cui happily runs into the kitchen.
Mao Nana takes a fork and stuffs a small piece of dragon fruit into her mouth with difficulty. “Nanny Cui is a bit naggy, but her cooking is unparalleled. She has been taking care of me since I was little. When I moved out of my family’s house, she resolutely followed me. She has no children or grandchildren. I’ll take care of her in her old age.”
Mao Nana suddenly asks, “Are you going back tomorrow?”
“We’re taking the plane at noon tomorrow. We came tonight to bid farewell to you, Nana, and to thank you for taking care of us these days.”
Mao Nana sighs, “Time flies so fast. But don’t worry, once my face is recovered, I’ll go to Jiangzhou to find you guys and give your brother a surprise. I wonder if he’ll drop his eyeballs in shock. Haha, it’s so fun just thinking about it.”
Emotions come and go quickly, and soon the laughter and chatter dilute the sadness of parting.
“Nana, is this the Bo family’s banquet you mentioned? It looks quite lively.”
“Yes, you know Bo Lianye, right? It’s her aunt and uncle’s birthday.”
“The same day’s birthday?” Liu Muxue asks curiously.
“No, they’re twins. Speaking of which, these twins are all outstanding, but their lives are just so tough…”
Liu Muxue immediately leans in, opens the durian box, and prepares to listen to the story.
Mao Nana screams, “You eat durian? It’s too smelly, get it away from me!”
Liu Muxue innocently holds the durian up to her face. “Nana, durian is so delicious, how can you dislike it?”
Facing the innocent and cute eyes of the young girl, Mao Nana has no choice but to give in.
She shrinks back on the sofa, “Keep your distance from me.” She holds Ming Jing’s arm with both hands, leaning almost half her body on Ming Jing.
Liu Muxue eats the fragrant durian, “So why are their lives so tough, Nana? I love listening to stories, please tell me.”
Ming Jing picks up the teacup on the coffee table, takes a sip, and looks down.
“It’s a long story, and I can’t explain it in just a few words. Moreover, I promised A Jiang not to reveal her privacy. Please don’t put me in an awkward position.”
Ming Jing stands up, “I’m going to the bathroom.”
She turns around and leaves after saying this.
Liu Muxue stares at Ming Jing’s back and suddenly leans close to Mao Nana, “Nana, I want to ask you something.”
As she opens her mouth, Mao Nana is almost taken aback.
Mao Nana holds her breath, “Ask.”
Liu Muxue’s eyes roll around, revealing a hint of cunning, “Do you know someone named Ms. Su?”
“Su?” Mao Nana shakes her head.
“I don’t know anyone with the surname Su, why are you asking this?”
“Just now, Nanny Cui saw Ming Jing and mistook her for Ms. Su. No matter how much I asked Nanny Cui, she wouldn’t say a word about it. It seems that Ming Jing looks a lot like this Ms. Su. Don’t you find it strange?”
Mao Nana carelessly says, “There are many people in the world who look alike. What’s so strange about that?”
Liu Muxue lets out a wry laugh, looking alike may not be strange, but a stunning beauty like Ming Jing having a lookalike is indeed rare.
But seeing Mao Nana’s obvious ignorance, Liu Muxue can only give up.
Su? Mao Nana drops the fruit in her hand on the floor. Could it be possible?
