From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

With a snort, he scoffed, “Could it be that little nun? What a joke…”

Charles Gao kicked him in the butt, sending Zhu Shaodan rolling on the ground. Zhu Shaodan yelled indignantly, “What the hell, Charles?”

Charles dragged him by his collar to the faucet, “Let’s wash your brain, show some respect when you speak, that’s your sister.”

Zhu Shaodan struggled and shouted, “My sister… ugh… is Zhu Xiangxiang, not that little nun.”

Charles slapped him twice, “Did that wake you up?

“Keep going.”

Zhu Shaodan suddenly realized something and incredulously asked, “The sister you’re talking about isn’t Zhu Xiangxiang?

Charles let go and watched him collapse on the ground, “What do you think?”

Zhu Shaodan looked astonished, “That little nun…”

Feeling Charles’ darkening gaze, he quickly changed the subject, “What’s Mr. Bai’s relationship with her?”

“Is that any of your business? We’ve already explained everything to you, and you swore to Mr. Bai as well. It’s time for you to prove yourself. Don’t disappoint us. Go.”

Zhu Shaodan was silent all the way home. Once there, Madam Zhou was astonished to see him, “Young Master?”

“Madam Zhou, I’m starving. I want to eat your sweet and sour pork ribs, braised pork, and pine nut crusted fish.”

Seeing how much Zhu Shaodan had thinned, Madam Zhou’s heart ached and she nodded hurriedly, “Alright, I’ll make it right away.”

“Where’s my mom? And my sister?” Zhu Shaodan felt a twinge in his heart, sensing that something significant must have happened during the past month he was gone.

“Madam went out to take care of something, and your sisters are at school. Granny Zhu is in her bedroom. She hasn’t been feeling well lately and has been very worried about you. She’ll be so happy to see you.”

Granny Zhu used to dote on him, so Zhu Shaodan was very close to her. He went to pamper and behave around her, but instead of the usual affection, Granny Zhu sternly scolded him.

Filled with a sense of grievance, Zhu Shaodan went back to his room, bathed, changed, ate a big meal, and then slept.

When he woke up and went downstairs, he heard the sound of a car outside the door.

He rushed out to see a white BMW parked outside the garage, with a tall, slim girl getting out of the car.

Zhu Shaodan was taken aback, remembering it was his mother’s newly bought car.

The girl saw him and gave him a cold glance before looking away.

Zhu Shaodan felt unhappy, thinking, are you blind? You can’t see such a big living person here.

Then a black Volkswagen drove in, with Zhu Xiangxiang getting out of the car. Upon seeing Zhu Shaodan at the doorstep, she was overjoyed and ran to embrace him, “Shaodan, you’re finally back.”

Zhu Shaodan happily spun Zhu Xiangxiang around, “Sis, I missed you so much.”

“So did I.”

“Excuse me, move aside.” An indifferent voice was like a bucket of cold water poured over them.

Zhu Shaodan stared at her emotionless face, folding his arms and blocking the door with a sly grin, “This is my house. I can let whoever I want in.” Zhu Xiangxiang tugged his sleeve, “Shaodan, she’s your sister too.”

Without even looking at him, Ming Jing took out her phone and dialed a number, “Bai Ziyan, there’s someone named Zhu Shaodan blocking my door and won’t let me in. What should I do?”

Zhu Shaodan paled with fear, and reached to snatch her phone. Ming Jing stepped back, and Zhu Shaodan missed, almost stumbling and falling. Zhu Xiangxiang quickly steadied him.

Ming Jing took the opportunity to walk in.Zhu Shaodan angrily pointed at her retreating figure and roared, “Don’t think that just because you’re on good terms with the Bai family, you have me by the throat! I’m telling you, no way!

In this family, I call the shots, and if I say you leave, you leave.”

Ming Jing turned around and looked at him, her expression calm. She didn’t react at all to being pointed at and scolded, as tranquil as the sea before a storm. Zhu Shaodan subconsciously felt a little panic, puffed out his chest, and stubbornly stared at her.

“Zhu Shaodan, I forgive you for being young and ignorant, but after all this, you still haven’t changed,” she said.

Ming Jing shook her head in disappointment.

“You’re not even worthy to be my brother.” With that, she walked away and went upstairs without looking back.

Zhu Shaodan scoffed, “Did you hear what she said? I’m not worthy of being her brother? Who gave her that much face? Liang Jingru?”

Zhu Xiangxiang defended Ming Jing in a soft voice, “You’re too prejudiced against Ming Jing. In fact, she’s a very easy-going person.”

“It’s all because she’s a nun. I hate nuns the most in my life,” said Zhu Shaodan.

Zhu Xiangxiang couldn’t help but say, “But it’s also not something she could choose, Ming Jing is a victim too.”

“I don’t care, sister. I only have you as my sister.” Zhu Shaodan hugged her and acted spoilt.

Zhu Xiangxiang smiled helplessly, ‘You’re such a grown-up.”

In her eyes, there was a quick flash of smugness. Ming Jing, not everyone in this family is on your side.

Lin Qing returned home that night and saw Zhu Shaodan; the mother and son embraced and cried.

“Shaodan, you were able to get out this time thanks to your sister, ah, I mean Ming Jing; you have to thank her properly.”

Zhu Shaodan impatiently said, “Everyone says it’s her credit. Did she seduce

Mr. Bai with her body?”

Lin Qing’s face darkened, and she scolded angrily, “How can you slander your sister like this?”

Lin Qing shook her head in disappointment, “It seems I’ve spoiled you too much in the past. You’re not only disrespectful, but your character is rotten. She’s your biological sister; she ran around for your sake, negotiating. Instead of being grateful, you’re insulting her with such vulgar words. I’m such a failure as a mother. The past fifteen years of education have been completely wrong.”

Zhu Shaodan pouted, “What other excuse is there? How can Bai Ziyan let me go so easily?”

Lin Qing said seriously, “You don’t understand your sister. Even Madam Jiang admires her. She’s even more incredible than we thought. You’re really stupid.

Now, immediately, go and apologize to your sister.”

“I won’t!” Zhu Shaodan stubbornly refused.

“Fine, then starting tomorrow, all your allowance will be taken away each month, all your room’s gaming equipment will be confiscated, and you won’t be allowed to take a private car to school. Let’s see if your bones stay hard.” Lin Qing retorted.

She left him and went upstairs.

Ever since Ming Jing’s last words, she had been reflecting on herself, especially after Zhu Wentao’s affair, which made her suddenly realize how foolish she had been before, how self-righteous she had been.

Without the halo of the Zhu family and her indulgence, this child would be a waste in society with a problematic character.

She just realized that her previous actions had destroyed her child.

Zhu Xiangxiang stood in the shadows, clenching her fists tightly.

“Did you know that your mother made a secret will? She divided her assets into two parts, got the documents notarized at a lawyer’s office, leaving a larger share to Ming Jing and a smaller share to Zhu Shaodan. As for you, a wild child with an unknown origin, how could you be qualified to inherit her wealth?”

“People always say she favours the fake daughter, but the poor girl still foolishly believes that her mother loves her. Her so-called love is leaving all her assets to her own daughter, even spoiling her own son less… She deceived all of us.”

She was so foolish, so very foolish.

She’s just an orphan abandoned by her biological parents, so what else is there to remember?

Zhu Xiangxiang laughed mockingly at herself, her eyes gradually becoming deeper..
