From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

Chapter 422: Head of 195 (first update)_3

Before Ming Jing could answer, Elder Theodore Shelby said with full of energy: “Of course, if she doesn’t live with the Shens, would she live with you?”

“That would be great, but I don’t know if Sister Ming Jing would give me the honor.”

“Dream on, Ming Jing is my daughter. It’s getting late, you should go home too.” Elder Theodore Shelby didn’t have much goodwill towards Mao Nana, who was like a stubborn rash, especially after tonight’s fuss. If Shen Zhou ever wronged her in the future, there would be hell to pay.

Mao Nana said pitifully: “Elder, tonight is a family reunion. I came to Jiangzhou alone for Shen Zhou. Where else can I go besides your home? Please let me stay for one night.”

“Don’t you have quite a few properties in Jiangzhou? Are you afraid you won’t have a place to stay?”

“Everyone else is having a reunion, while I’m all alone. I’m just a helpless young girl. Can you really bear to see me like this?”

Elder Theodore Shelby was left speechless.

“Fine, just for tonight, and you’ll go back to Jingdu tomorrow.”

Mao Nana immediately beamed with joy: “Thank you, Uncle.”

Elder Theodore Shelby patted Ming Jing’s hand: “Come back to the Shen’s house with me tonight. We’ve already prepared a room for you.”

Ming Jing nodded: “First, I’ll take my sisters back.”

“No need, we’ve prepared rooms for them as well. The girls are too young to live alone. I can’t be at ease if you are. Everything is ready at home, just go back and take a look.”

“Thank you, uncle.” Ming Chen said with a grin.

Elder Theodore Shelby’s mouth twitched, and his old face couldn’t help but blush.

It didn’t feel strange for Ming Jing to call him dad, but when Ming Jing’s sisters, who were only a few years younger than her, called him “uncle,” it highlighted the generational gap…

However, Elder Theodore Shelby was still quite happy. In his old age, he enjoyed being surrounded by children and grandchildren. These two girls were pretty, lovely, and sweet-mouthed, who wouldn’t like them?

Elder Theodore Shelby immediately took out two red envelopes and handed them to the two. Holding the red envelope, Ming Chen smiled and said, “I wish uncle a long life and good fortune.”

This was already the third red envelope that Elder Theodore Shelby had given.

Ming Ti looked at Ming Jing, accepted the envelope, and, unlike the sweet-tongued Ming Chen, just smiled and said, “Thank you, uncle.”

Elder Theodore Shelby patted Ming Ti’s head, “You look prettier when you smile. As a young girl, don’t always have such a straight face.”

Ming Ti pursed her lips and obediently nodded.

The group took one car back to the Shen’s house, while Shen Zhou had to deal with some follow-up issues and left later than them.

As Ming Jing prepared to get into the car, she heard Lin Qing’s voice from behind: “Ming Jing.”

Elder Theodore Shelby immediately frowned. Ming Jing did not turn her head but said to Elder Theodore Shelby, “Dad, you take Ming Ti and Ming Chen back first.”

Elder Theodore Shelby snorted, “Don’t waste your breath on her. She abandoned you to take care of her precious fake heiress.” He deliberately spoke loudly to make sure Lin Qing heard him, and her face stiffened.

Ming Jing smiled and looked at Mao Nana, “Sister, please take care of Dad. I’ll be back soon.”

Mao Nana’s heart bloomed at being called “sister.” Besides, Ming Jing was elegant and cultivated, and they didn’t have any conflicting interests. It was hard not to like her. Mao Nana patted her chest and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely take good care of the elder.”

When the car had driven away, Ming Jing brushed her skirt and finally turned around.
