From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

Chapter 618: 325 Choice (Revision)

After the nurse left, Ming Jing tucked in the quilt corner for Qu Feitai and sat down on the chair next to the bed.

Yun Mo came in and saw this scene, subconsciously hesitating.

“Ms. Ming Jing, you should go get some rest, I can watch over him.”

Ming Jing shook her head:”The doctor said this night is crucial, we need to closely monitor his condition to prevent complications. I’ll stay here, you go get some rest.”

Yun Mo couldn’t say much more, so he turned around and left.

“Sir, young master has had the surgery, there’s no major issue, you can rest easy. It’s just that… the girl named Ming Jing has been staying by the young master’s side. She doesn’t seem to have any ulterior motives, solely focused on taking care of young master.”

“Is she only kind to Xiao Fei or to everyone?”

Yun Mo choked a little, the sir had indeed pointed out the key question.

But how could the sir be sure that Ming Jing’s kindness towards the young master was the same as her kindness towards others?

“Forget it, don’t think about these messy things now. The most important thing is for Xiao Fei to get better soon. You stay at the hospital and look after him in the next few days, don’t interfere with the matters of the Qinglong Association unless they involve Xiao Fei.”

“Yes, sir.”

After hanging up the phone, Yun Mo looked inside through the transparent glass on the ward door. Ming Jing seemed to have fallen asleep on the edge of the bed.

The hospital corridor at midnight was very quiet, especially around the VIP wards, where even the drop of a needle could be heard.

Yun Mo lay down on the long bench at the door of the ward, curling his body to sleep.

Tao Qian returned home reeking of alcohol, and although Wu Jiaqi verbally complained, she still wiped his body and fed him water.

She took off his clothes and shoes, and with great effort, moved him onto the bed.

“Ah Qi, don’t leave…” Tao Qian suddenly reached out and hugged her.

Wu Jiaqi was lying on top of him, his body’s scorching heat was alarming. Wu Jiaqi’s heart skipped a beat.

“I won’t leave, can you please let me go first?”

“Ah Qi, I… I won’t go abroad for further study either. I will stay with you forever. I promised you that I would always be with you…”

Tao Qian mumbled on, and Wu Jiaqi had to lean closer to hear his words.

Go abroad for further study?

Wu Jiaqi suddenly froze.

She took out Tao Qian’s phone from his pocket, unlocked the phone, and finally found a notice sent by the leader in his work group chat.

She knew that Tao Qian’s biggest dream was not to be a doctor, but he had chosen this path eventually for her and Xingxing’s sake.

She knew he had not been happy in those years.

Wu Jiaqi crouched down beside the bed, looking at the man who had fallen into a deep sleep, she traced his features gently with her fingers.

“Why are you so foolish?”

Wu Jiaqi thought of their moments together, the person she owed the most in this life was the man in front of her.

“The past is the past, and you are my future.”

She closed the bedroom door and pushed open Tao Xingxing’s room door.

Tao Xingxing slept disorderly, having kicked the quilt to the ground and lying across the bed.

Wu Jiaqi picked up the quilt, covered her carefully, and adjusted her sleeping position. Tao Xingxing slept soundly like a dead pig throughout.

Wu Jiaqi sat on the edge of the bed and stared at Tao Xingxing’s sleeping face.

The moonlight penetrated the gauze curtains and shone on the head of the bed. The girl, unaware of what she was dreaming about, sported a silly smile on her face and smacked her lips.

“Delicious…”

Wu Jiaqi couldn’t help but laugh, “You’re such a foodie.”

If she could be a happy foodie for the rest of her life, that too would be a blessing.

All the filth, deceit, and ulterior motives would not touch you, not even a bit, as long as your mother had a say in it.

You will always be this happy.

Wu Jiaqi spread out her palm.

Under the moonlight, she held a seal.

Ran Bowen, a man with no literary talent, but with pretentions of elegance. He loved to emulate Emperor Qianlong and had carved countless seals, contaminating all sorts of famous paintings.

This ivory seal was delicate and elegant.That day, Ming Jing handed it over to her.

Those memories that had already been sealed by her suddenly came flooding back.

“No…” Wu Jiaqi looked at the girl’s peaceful and happy sleeping face under the moonlight and made up her mind.

——

The next day, Tao Qian got up with a headache and felt like he had blacked out.

Wu Jiaqi tied an apron around her waist and carried breakfast out of the kitchen, softly saying, “I’ve prepared toothpaste and a towel for you. Hurry up and wash, then come eat breakfast.”

Tao Xingxing rubbed her eyes while moaning about why she had to go to school. She missed her big bed and wanted to be inseparable from it for the rest of her life.

“Hurry up and eat. If you keep dawdling, you’ll be late. Don’t you feel uncomfortable if you’re not late a few days a week? I don’t want to lose face at the parent-teacher meeting again.” Wu Jiaqi scolded with a stern face.

Tao Xingxing reluctantly took a bite of the bun, and her eyes suddenly lit up: “Ah, my favorite Yang’s BBQ Pork Buns! Mom, I love you.”

Tao Xingxing pounced on Wu Jiaqi and left a greasy kiss on her face.

Yang’s BBQ Pork Buns were delicious, but they were too far from home. It took an hour to go there and back, which meant her mother had gotten up to buy buns for her at 5 am.

“Mom, I love you.” Tao Xingxing cried in gratitude, tears streaming down her face.

“Stop being so smart-mouthed. Hurry up and eat. When you’re finished, I’ll drive you to school.” Wu Jiaqi said with a spoiled face.

As Tao Qian watched this scene, all his regrets dissipated. Nothing was more important than his family.

Tao Qian changed into formal attire. Wu Jiaqi walked over, stood on tiptoe, and tied his necktie, softly saying, “I heard you’re going abroad to study. Why didn’t you discuss such a big matter with me?”

Tao Qian was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously said, “I don’t…”

Wu Jiaqi covered his mouth with her hand, smiling, “Are you giving up because of me and Xingxing? You’ve always been like this, acting on your own without asking my opinion. How would you know that Xingxing and I wouldn’t like to follow you abroad?”

Tao Qian widened his eyes in shock: “Jiaqi, what about your career? And Xingxing, if she goes abroad, she might not adapt to that environment.”

Wu Jiaqi smiled and shook her head: “All problems can be overcome. You’ve given up so much for me and Xingxing. You can’t give up your dreams this time. Let Xingxing and I sacrifice a bit for you. We’re willing, as long as our family is together forever, we can overcome any difficulty.”

Tao Qian shook his head: “I can’t be that selfish.”

Wu Jiaqi said sternly, “You won’t even listen to me?”

“But…”

“No buts. I’m the one who makes the decisions in this family. You will submit your application immediately. With your talent, I’d be surprised if you’re not selected. I’ll be waiting for your good news. If you don’t get in, you don’t have to come back.”

Tao Qian was filled with mixed emotions, gently embracing Wu Jiaqi: “Thank you.”

Wu Jiaqi looked at the sunlight outside the window, her lips curving up: “Let’s give Xingxing a little brother.”

That night, the trending search quietly exploded.

Someone revealed that Qu Feitai had an emergency appendectomy in Jiangzhou. Ming Jing took him to the hospital and accompanied him the whole time. Their feelings were extraordinary.

This left a lot of room for imagination.

How did Ming Jing know that Qu Feitai had an appendicitis attack in the middle of the night?

Only if Ming Jing was right by his side.

It was too much for people to imagine what the two were doing together in the middle of the night.

Not long after the exposure of the fake accounts incident, Qu Feitai’s bootlicker image was firmly established. Unexpectedly, they could wait for a turnaround day.

Many people were moved by Qu Feitai. Even if you were licking, you would get all you deserved in the end.

At the same time, many people cursed over the fact that the flower had been inserted into the cow dung. If Qu Feitai was cow dung, then the streets would be full of donkey manure, no better than cow dung.

The internet was bustling, filled with various assumptions and deductions.

Some people said that the two were already together, maybe even living together.

Others said that Ming Jing wasn’t that casual, and it made sense for her to take care of Qu Feitai, who had no family or friends in Jiangzhou, as a friend.

Some people said that even if it was a dog that fainted on the side of the road, Ming Jing would send it to a pet hospital and accompany it throughout the city. My most benevolent goddess is confident enough to do this.

In the colorful world of the Internet, there are all kinds of people with different intentions.

It wasn’t until their friends saw the news online that they knew something big had happened. They called the two of them, but neither of them answered.

In the surprise squad group chat, there were all Bai Ziyan’s question marks.

Bai Kaishui: Don’t believe it? Look up and see the sky going easy on anyone. Qu Feitai, you also have today.

Mr. Song: There’s no need to gloat. Xiao Fei is already pathetic enough.

Bai Kaishui: That guy must be over the moon. The goddess accompanies him all the way, and he’s made a fortune, right? I see a plot, a scheming boy.
