Chapter 586: 293 Green Tea (Second Revision)

“So this is the equestrian club? The decoration is quite luxurious, not bad at all.” It was Liu Muxue’s first time at the equestrian club. The extravagant hall decorations, every detail screaming wealth and rotting money, made it hard for anyone without money to even dare step on the stairs.

Liu Muxue noticed that the gazes of the three girls and one boy were all on Ming Jing, and then turned to examine her. Radar instantly rang in her ears.

She leaned close to Ming Jing and whispered: “These young ladies are the hardest to deal with, all with big tempers. You don’t have any grudges with them, do you?”

Although she didn’t know any of these high-class ladies from Jiangzhou, it didn’t prevent her from attacking.

Without waiting for Ming Jing to respond, Liu Muxue was already prepared to roll up her sleeves.

Ming Jing gripped her hand: “Don’t be nervous, they’re all friends.”

Liu Muxue raised an eyebrow?

Friends?

This word, coming from Ming Jing’s mouth, was so funny.

Was she trying to comfort herself?

Liu Muxue felt consoled.

“Our club’s superstar is here, it’s not easy to see you.” Li Jiaojiao’s tone was tinged with a hint of sourness.

Manager Li hurriedly came forward and greeted her: “Ms. Ming Jing, please come in.”

This hasty and obsequious manner was even more enthusiastic than the attitude towards Li Jiaojiao and Zhao Qin.

Of course, Li Jiaojiao was a customer, Zhao Qin was a shareholder’s relative, but Ming Jing, she was the core shareholder. After the horse race, she became the club’s business card, and countless young girls were attracted to come because of her.

It was not incomparable, but there was simply no basis for comparison.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Xiangxiang’s face looked even worse. She was now standing here like a joke.

Ming Jing nodded and started to leave.

“Zhu Mingjing, if you don’t take us in today, you… you’re an ungrateful villain.” Zhu Shaodan suddenly jumped up and shouted at Ming Jing’s retreating figure.

“Shaodan, what nonsense are you talking about?” Zhu Xiangxiang quickly grabbed him and signaled him to shut up.

This feeling was really unbearable, but she really wanted to go in, or there would be no chance at all.

She heard clearly what Li Jiaojiao had just told the manager, even if she had money now, she couldn’t get in.

Ming Jing stopped walking.

Liu Muxue squinted her eyes and stared at Zhu Xiangxiang and Zhu Shaodan. Suddenly, she pointed at Zhu Xiangxiang and said: “Oh, I finally remembered, you’re the fake rich girl.”

Now, there are few people who mention these three words “fake rich girl” in front of Zhu Xiangxiang.

Zhu Xiangxiang bit her pale lips: “May I ask who you are?”

“Don’t worry about who I am, just admit that you are a fake rich girl.”

Zhu Xiangxiang nodded.

Liu Muxue looked at Zhu Shaodan: “So, you’re Ming Jing’s cheap little brother, huh?”

Zhu Shaodan snorted: “What’s it to you?”

“Stinky kid, not very old, but quite a temper. What do you mean that if you don’t get in, it’s an ungrateful villain? Are you disabled? No hands or feet? Can’t walk on your own? How about I beat you up and get someone to carry you in, then you’ll talk like a human being, right?”

Liu Muxue thought she was quite well-mannered, polite enough, but this brother and sister – one green tea, one asking for a beating – were just so irritating.

“You… you’re looking for death!” Zhu Shaodan raised his fist and aimed it at Liu Muxue’s face.

Liu Muxue was shocked. The kid was really crazy, not even using words and just going for a punch.

However, Zhu Shaodan’s fist was stopped by a hand that suddenly appeared.

Liu Muxue chuckled, straightened her waist, jumped up and slapped Zhu Shaodan. She then quickly hid behind Ming Jing, poking her head out: “A gentleman uses words, not fists. You’re the real villain.”

That tender, white, boneless hand grasping his wrist seemed to have infinite strength. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn’t get free. Zhu Shaodan couldn’t help but panic and said angrily, “Zhu Mingjing, let go of me!”

Zhu Xiangxiang said from the side, “Ming Jing… Shaodan is just young and impulsive. He didn’t mean to attack your friend. Can you let go of him first?”

“Oh, oh, oh, such touching sibling love! So he didn’t mean it, which means I did, huh? Who are you trying to fool? He deserves a beating.”

Liu Muxue had quite a bit of experience dealing with green tea girls like Zhu Xiangxiang who love to play the victim.

No wonder this mad dog wouldn’t help his own sister but chose to wear the same pants as a fake rich girl. Today, with her own eyes, she finally understood.

This fake rich girl must have been busy stirring things up in the middle.

Zhu Xiangxiang bit her lip, “I… I didn’t mean that. Ming Jing, you know Shaodan’s temper…””Ming Jing doesn’t know? How could Ming Jing know? Aren’t you two the best of friends?” Liu Muxue sneered from behind.

Ming Jing glanced at Zhu Shaodan and waved her hand lightly. Zhu Shaodan staggered back a few steps, almost tripping and falling on his rear end.

His hand, which had been grabbed, felt numb and fiery, unable to exert any strength.

Zhu Shaodan’s heart was filled with doubt and disbelief.

Ming Jing had already turned and left, merely saying to Manager Li as she passed him, “Take them inside.”

She continued walking without looking back.

Manager Li hesitated, and then hurriedly followed her instructions.

Everyone said that Ms. Ming Jing was a kind-hearted reincarnation of a Buddha, and it seemed that wasn’t wrong at all.

Liu Muxue caught up with her, “Why are you letting them in? They’re the true ungrateful wretches!”

Ming Jing obviously didn’t want to have anything to do with her, so Liu Muxue quickly changed her tactics, smiling slyly.

Li Jiaojiao and Zhao Qin witnessed everything that happened. Li Jiaojiao looked at Liu Muxue’s retreating back and asked, “Who’s that girl? I don’t recognize her.”

Zhao Qin shook her head, “I don’t know either, but I’ll get someone to check right away.”

While the girl wasn’t anything special, her presence by Ming Jing’s side certainly made her stand out.

“What’s the big deal with her? What makes her so great? Sooner or later, I’m going to expose her true face, some random bastard dares to…”. Zhu Xiangxiang quickly covered his mouth, cautiously glancing around.

Suddenly, her gaze fixed on a figure appearing in the sunlight at the door, but she remained expressionless while drawing her stare back.

“Don’t gossip outside, it would tarnish Ming Jing’s reputation. Even if she isn’t the daughter of the Zhu family, I believe she didn’t intentionally deceive us. There must be a reason behind her actions.”

“Humph!”

“If you don’t talk nonsense, I’ll let you go.”

Zhu Shaodan blinked furiously.

Zhu Xiangxiang released her grip, and Zhu Shaodan spat, “Ridiculous suffering, she just wants the wealth and glory of the Zhu family. Sister, you’re too kind-hearted, still worrying about her at this point.”

Zhu Xiangxiang sighed, “What should we do then? Our mother left because of her, harboring ill feelings and getting sicker and worse. It’s my fault…”.

“We can tell our mother the truth.”

“No, our mother wouldn’t be able to handle the shock, her condition would only worsen…”.

“We can’t just watch Zhu Mingjing roam free unpunished? I wish I could rip off her hypocritical mask…”.

Zhu Xiangxiang looked behind Zhu Shaodan and suddenly turned pale, “Master Xiao…when did you get here?”

Zhu Shaodan reflexively looked over his shoulder and excitedly shouted, “Master Xiao!”

Ran Tengxiao strode forward, not even sparing the two of them a glance as he walked straight past them.

Zhu Xiangxiang anxiously grabbed Zhu Shaodan’s arm, “Shaodan, did Master Xiao hear what we were just saying?”

“It’s not like our secret is shameful or anything. It would embarrass Zhu Mingjing, not us.” Zhu Shaodan said unconcerned.

“At least he won’t be fooled by Zhu Mingjing’s appearance anymore. That’s one good thing.”

Zhu Xiangxiang sighed, “Ming Jing has helped me a lot, I really don’t want to doubt her like this.”

At this moment, Manager Li came over and spoke with an ingratiating smile, “Ms. Zhu, Mr. Zhu, please follow me.”

Zhu Xiangxiang replied politely, “Thank you.”

A flash of disdain appeared in Manager Li’s eyes, but it vanished as he turned to walk ahead.

This foolish pair, instead of clinging to the powerful Ming Jing, they chose to offend her. They’ll get their just deserts someday.

High-end customers like Ming Jing and Zhao Qin had their own private changing and shower rooms. As Liu Muxue came out in her riding gear, she bumped into Li Jiaojiao and Zhao Qin.

After sizing each other up, Liu Muxue smiled sweetly, “Hello, my name is Liu Muxue, Ming Jing’s…best friend.”

A wise person knows when to bend and when to stand tall.

Li Jiaojiao laughed, “Ms. Liu, I’ve never seen you before. How did you meet Ming Jing?”

“We…attended the same Olympiad Training Camp and went to Jingzhou together for Winter Camp, living and eating together.” Her tone seemed to purposely flaunt just how close her relationship with Ming Jing was.

“I see.” Zhao Qin stared at the shiny diamond on Liu Muxue’s hairpin.

“Your surname is Liu? Are you related to Li Qingyao?”
