From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

Lin Qing suddenly felt that it was a bit overwhelming. She didn’t expect her mother-in-law to be so wealthy.

Granny Zhu took a sip of tea and said slowly: “Wenjie is a filial son. He gives me a lot of money every month. As an old woman with nothing to spend on, I used the money to invest in real estate. Since our family is in this business, I gave it a try and it turned out pretty well. I have made quite a profit over the years through various investments, and this is just a part of it.”

All Lin Qing could think of was that sentence: this is just a part… a part..

Fortunately, Zhu Wenjie didn’t know about it, otherwise, he would flip out completely.

“I know you can’t put up with Wenjie anymore, and I won’t try to persuade you. A woman’s life isn’t just about marriage. I’ve seen what you’ve done for this family. Now, when you are in need of money, take these funds first. If it’s not enough, come back to me,” said Granny Zhu.

Lin Qing hurriedly pushed the money back: “Mom, I can’t take it.’

Granny Zhu replied, “I’m not doing this for you, but for Ming Jing and

Shaodan.”

“As long as you’re doing well, the children will be fine too, understand?”

Lin Qing pursed her lips, and nodded solemnly: “Mom, I’ll consider this a loan from you.”

Granny Zhu waved her hand: “I’m tired, you can go out now.” “Wait.” Granny Zhu suddenly stopped her.

Lin Qing turned around: “Mom, anything else you want to say?”

“About Xiangxiang, I know we’ve raised her for years and have developed feelings for her. I understand your feelings, but people can be unpredictable. She can be scheming, so you need to be cautious. When necessary, let go if you have to.”

A trace of cold glimmer flashed in Granny Zhu’s murky eyes, and Lin Qing shuddered and nodded.

As Lin Qing left the room, Madam Zhou approached and massaged Granny Zhu’s shoulders. “You still worry so much. If Ms. Ming Jing knew this, she would scold you again.”

Granny Zhu chuckled: “That girl is all bark and no bite.”

“Ming Jing, is this your report card? First in your grade? That means you’re the smartest student in your school!” Ming Chen kept turning the report card over, examining it.

Ming Ti rolled her eyes at her: “Of course, haven’t you seen who it is? At the age of three, Ming Jing could recite the Lotus Sutra. At five, she attained enlightenment. There’s no one smarter than her in this world.” Ming Ti said with pride.

Ming Yi clapped her chubby hands: “Ming Jing is the best!”

Ming Jing touched Ming Yi’s baby-fat cheeks, earning a giggle from her: “I’ve enrolled you all in a study class during the summer break to learn primary school courses. You’re all smart, and I’ve taught you some basic knowledge since you were little. When school starts, we’ll choose classes based on your performance. ”

“Ming Jing, will we be able to go to school as well?” Ming Chen asked excitedly.

“Of course, now we have nine years of compulsory education. In the future, you’ll also go to high school, college, and graduate school… Life is more than just this. Love, marriage, family and friends, career… Every choice you make has unlimited possibilities.”

Ming Chen rested her chin in her hands, daydreaming, “Just like the TV dramas, right? A tall, handsome CEO falls in love with me…”

Ming Ti slapped her on the head: “TV dramas are all lies! Stop daydreaming! Haven’t you forgotten what Buddha said? No desire leads to strength. Love is just a deceptive thing,”

Ming Chen covered her head, grumbling: “But TV dramas are made to be watched!”

Ming Jing laughed: “Alright, you two never stop arguing for a day. Although you’re twins, your personalities are poles apart. Your paths in life will be different. Don’t interfere with each other. If you don’t like love, focus on your career; if you prefer handsome men, work on your beauty and social skills. The choice is yours; live your own life and have fun with it.”

“Ming Jing, what about me?” Ming Yi looked up and asked.

Ming Jing laughed and picked her up: “As for our Ming Yi, just be a happy baby. Ming Jing will support you.”

“I love Ming Jing the most.” Ming Yi hugged Ming Jing’s neck and kissed her cheek with a “mwah!”

Starting from that day, Zhu Xiangxiang noticed that Lin Qing treated her and Ming Jing differently.

Lin Qing even made a special call to her friends, asking for favors to get the three children into school. She hired a famous teacher to give private lessons at home to the twins so they could catch up with the school curriculum. Afraid they might get hungry or thirsty during their studies, Lin Qing specifically asked Xiao Ying to prepare their favorite snacks and serve them..
