Chapter 346: 158 Provocation (Second Update)
Translator: 549690339
It’s been sixteen years, and the real heiress has finally been found by the rich family and returned to the Zhus. Everyone thought that this girl who grew up in the countryside must be crude and embarrassing, and the entire circle of wealthy families was waiting to laugh at her.
However, on the day the real heiress arrived, she broke everyone’s expectations. As for why she did that, let’s go back to the scene when Ming Jing first appeared on the show.
A beauty like a flower that blooms beyond the clouds.
Everyone understood – Ming Jing was the real heiress in the story.
As a standalone story, it was pretty dramatic. But if Ming Jing was the true heir in the story…
All that was left was sympathy.
The fake heiress was enjoying the wealth and luxury of a rich family while the real one experienced hardships growing up in the countryside. Her various actions in the show now had a reasonable explanation.
Being able to dig for water, make lamian (noodles), forage for wild vegetables, know about medicinal herbs, and massage… If she hadn’t grown up in a tough environment, which parents would have the heart to let a beautiful girl’s slender and delicate hands be tainted by dirt and covered in thin callouses?
However, a born phoenix is a phoenix, even if it grows up in the countryside. It cannot hide its noble nature.
The power of netizens always goes beyond people’s imagination. Even before midnight, the keyphrase “Ming Jing is the real heiress” was trending on Weibo. Now the whole country knew about Ming Jing’s background.
As the scope of the audience widened, it was soon discovered that the wealthy family in question was the Zhu family of Jiangzhou. Zhu Group was the family’s business, and they had a good reputation in the local area. Jiangzhou was the most prosperous city in the Southern Region, and Zhu Group had a place in the real estate industry there. They were considered one of the top wealthy families locally, and Ming Jing’s identity as a member of the Bai FuMei (rich, beautiful, and virtuous) was indeed genuine.
Afterward, even more shocking stories about the Zhu family’s real and fake heiresses started surfacing online, with some netizens wondering if it was all actually true.
That night, the internet felt as festive as the New Year, with netizens enjoying the scandal of the real and fake heiresses. As more information was dug up, the imposter who tried to frame Ming Jing at a dinner party was exposed. Seeing Ming Jing’s benevolence and forgiveness, people were deeply impressed. If someone else had done the same, they might have come across as hypocritical or self-righteous, but when Ming Jing did it, everyone felt it was just and fitting. Her kindness and forgiveness were part of her innate character.
For a time, the fake heiress became the target of criticism and made it to the trending list.
Zhu Xiangxiang, who hadn’t even debuted yet, had a taste of the heat in advance.
At the Zhus, Granny Zhu happily went to bed after watching the show.
Zhou Bao looked at the trending list, which was dominated by Ming Jing’s name, and her excitement was beyond words.
This was her cousin, her own cousin!
Zhou Bao wished she could grab a loudspeaker and shout it to the whole world. 𝐟re𝚎𝘄𝚎𝐛𝚗o𝚟el.c𝐨𝚖
Ming Yi, yawning, was carried to bed by Han Suwen.
Ming Ti and Ming Chen also yawned and stood up, “Yingying, we’re sleepy and going to bed now.”
Zhou Bao quickly stopped them: “Don’t go, haven’t you seen the internet? Your cousin is on fire, and everyone is talking about her. Do you think you can sleep at a moment like this?”
Ming Chen blinked, yawned, and then innocently looked at her with sparkling eyes. “It’s normal for Second Sister to be loved by everyone. What’s the fuss? Yingying, go to bed too, it’s almost 11 o’clock.”
With that, she yawned again and went upstairs with Ming Ti’s hand in hers.
Zhou Bao thought to herself – kids, indeed.
While the internet was celebrating Ming Jing, the Zhu’s Mansion, where she was the center, was quiet. Everyone was asleep except for Zhou Bao, who was wide awake. She couldn’t take it and saw that her classmates were mentioning her in their group chat incessantly – Zhou Bao’s phone was almost crashing.
She didn’t dare open the messages. The week before, after the show aired, Ming Jing’s identity as the Zhu family’s young Miss hadn’t been revealed yet. Everyone in the group chat was just admiring Ming Jing’s beauty and discussing this girl who was about their age. At that time, Zhou Bao didn’t dare speak in the chat, fearing that she might accidentally spill the beans and cause trouble for her cousin.
Now, however, Ming Jing’s identity had been exposed. Everyone knew she was Ming Jing’s cousin, and since Ming Jing was the Miss of the Zhu family, that would mean Zhou Bao was Ming Jing’s cousin, too.
Her classmates were frantically mentioning her to come out and speak on what it felt like to be the cousin of a superstar. Some girls even asked her if Ming Jing and Qu Feitai knew each other at all.She had shown off her ticket to Qu Feitai’s concert in the group chat before. At that time, everyone thought she got the ticket through the Zhus’ connections. Now, it seems not that simple – the ticket indicated an internal release. There were too many suspicious points, and as Ming Jing’s cousin, she had to clear things up.
When a classmate asked Zhou Ying, she couldn’t help but think more – had Ming Jing known Qu Feitai a long time ago, and the ticket was sent by Qu Feitai?
Zhou Ying felt a moment of breathlessness and almost lost her balance.
Cousin, how many secrets are you hiding from us?
The barrage of messages sounded nonstop, falling like raindrops. Her classmates went crazy in the chat.
Zhou Ying’s hand shook as she opened the input box – Everyone, please calm down, I’m at the Zhus’ house now.
— Holy shit, so excited, the closest I’ve ever been to the goddess.
— Zhou Ying, were you the savior of the galaxy in your last life? You get to have such an amazing cousin in this life.
— I’m envious, I’m jealous! Help, ambulance…
— Zhou Ying, can you quickly tell us what goddess Ming Jing is doing? Will she be happy to see herself so popular?
Zhou Ying sneered and specifically circled the sender, replying: You all misunderstood my cousin? She’s taking part in the Olympiad Training Camp tomorrow, studying tonight, and going to bed at ten o’clock without fail.
— Training camp? Right, almost forgot. Sister Ming Jing is a super scholar, ranked first in the Jiangzhou region in Olympiad competitions, directly entered the training camp. Wasn’t it discussed last month when the results came out?
— Respecting the big boss, academic excellence is just one of the least worth mentioning advantages. Damn, is she even human?
— Excellent people can always control their time and emotions well, unlike us, hopping around the internet late at night, not sleep until the moon sleeps …
Zhou Ying ignored them and went back to her room upstairs.
After Zhu Xiangxiang left, she wanted to move into Zhu Xiangxiang’s room, but her aunt stopped her. It seemed that her aunt still hadn’t let go of Zhu Xiangxiang completely. No wonder her cousin wasn’t close to her.
Zhou Ying could only sleep in the guest room on the third floor. When she reached the second floor, she hesitated a bit and tiptoed to Ming Jing’s room, pressing her ear against the door to listen.
No sound, she must have fallen asleep already.
Her cousin’s indifferent attitude towards fame and humiliation impressed her. It was difficult for an adult to do this, let alone a sixteen-year-old girl.

The flower vase shattered on the floor, and Xiao Wenwen pointed at her agent’s nose and cursed: “What did you promise me? Why did this happen? She’s the moon in the sky, and I’m just a rotten shrimp in a filthy gutter. Listen to the comparisons on the internet, it’s making me so angry. Weren’t the production team supposed to cut her out? Why does she have the most screen time? Have you done what I said at all? Does the director team know that Zhou Nan is my boyfriend?”
As Xiao Wenwen spoke, she got angrier. “Secretly disobeying, you all secretly disobey. If you don’t want to work, you can get out now.”
The agent sneered, “I didn’t want to tell you about this, but you’re so unappreciative. Let me tell you now. Zhou Nan is good, worth millions, but his assets are nothing in front of real wealthy people. Do you know where Ming Jing comes from? Do you know how ruthless her agent is? You’re ignorant and arrogant, it disappoints me. You won’t have any prospects in this life because you’ve offended everyone. Zhou Nan can’t protect you either.”
“Impossible.” Xiao Wenwen cursed angrily, “Don’t try to scare me with your exaggeration …”
The agent glanced at her phone and showed the screen to Xiao Wenwen, “Take a good look. Ming Jing, the young Miss of the Zhu family, took control of the Zhu Group in just three months. The stocks rose steadily, signed a contract with Shen Zhou on the same stage. If you don’t know the Zhu Group, at least you should know the name Shen Zhou, right? Do you think your Zhou Nan is qualified to even tie Shen Zhou’s shoes?”
The agent’s words jabbed at Xiao Wenwen’s heart. She shook her head in disbelief, “No…impossible.”
The agent didn’t intend to let her off, “The Weibo post you made earlier, implying Ming Jing, you thought it was seamless, but you underestimated Ming Jing’s influence and overestimated your own. You see the online public opinion now, you’ve tied a noose around your neck. Even if you delete the post, can you pretend nothing happened? Ming Jing may be easy-going, but her agent is ruthless. Not only were your endorsements and scripts intercepted, but you’ve also gotten other artists in the company in trouble.”
“I’ve warned you before, there are people you cannot afford to offend. Those who seem easygoing and easy to bully are often the ones you must not provoke.”
