Chapter 87 - 87: 061 Yu Jiang (First Midnight)_5
“Shaodan, what were you up to last night? You came home so late.”
Zhu Shaodan thought to himself that he was out doing something important, but he estimated that if he told the truth, the whole family would beat him, so he couldn’t be honest: “A classmate was celebrating their birthday, we had a gathering.”
Lin Qing slammed the table angrily, “Do your classmates celebrate their birthdays every day?”
Zhu Shaodan shrugged, “That’s because I have so many friends.” Zhu Xiangxiang spoke softly, “Shaodan, speak properly to mom.” “I am speaking properly, it’s you guys who don’t like me.”
Lin Qing hesitated for a moment, then said, “I have a friend who runs an agency. Her company is about to select a group of trainees to go to South Korea for two years of training. You should pack up and go.”
Lin Qing had considered that Shaodan wasn’t good at studying, and going to college wasn’t an option for him. If the Zhus were to fall later on, he didn’t even have the ability to work as a waiter in a restaurant. His only good traits were his appearance and height, and among the entire world, only the entertainment industry could offer him opportunities based on these factors.
Going overseas for two years of training would refine his character. When he returned to the country, she would spend some money to help him debut and make a living in the entertainment industry without starving.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Shaodan jumped up as if his tail had been stepped on, “I don’t want to be a trainee! You go, don’t drag me into this.”
He had bigger plans in mind, how could he settle for being a minor celebrity?
He pointed at Zhu Xiangxiang, “Let my sister go, or let her go.” He pointed at Ming Jing.
Ming Jing kept her head down and continued to eat, not even giving him a glance.
Zhu Xiangxiang said, “Mom, Shaodan is so young, and going abroad alone isn’t good right? Besides, the entertainment industry is so chaotic, why make Shaodan suffer?”
Lin Qing didn’t bother explaining, she pointed at his nose and said, “Pack your things, you’re leaving on the 15th. I’ll personally send you to the airport.”
Zhu Shaodan looked at Granny Zhu, “Granny, I don’t want to go abroad, or I won’t be able to fulfill my filial duties to you.”
Granny Zhu sneered, “When have you ever been filial to me? Your mother’s suggestion is good and for your own good. You should understand her difficulties.”
Zhu Shaodan suddenly burst into tears, “You guys don’t love me anymore, everything has changed since she came. You all like her, not me anymore. In that case, I’ll leave and not bother you”/>.
Zhu Xiangxiang instinctively wanted to chase after him, but Lin Qing shouted, “Don’t bother him, let him go. When he has no place to go, he’ll naturally come back obediently.”
Zhu Xiangxiang looked at Lin Qing, her lips pursed slightly.
Her mother used to pamper Shaodan the most, holding him in her hand as if he would break, and in her mouth as if he would melt. Now why had her attitude changed so completely?
She glanced silently at Ming Jing across from her, everything had begun to change since she returned.
Even at a time like this, Ming Jing could eat peacefully, truly a heartless person.
Lin Qing looked a little unwell, “It’s nothing, probably didn’t rest well last night. ”
Zhu Xiangxiang’s eyes flashed, she picked up some braised pork with her chopsticks and put it in Lin Qing’s bowl, “Mom, why don’t I accompany you to the hospital for a check-up?”
As expected, Lin Qing’s face changed at the mention of the hospital.
Granny Zhu said, “There’s no need to go to the hospital, don’t we have a divine doctor at home?”
With that, she looked at Ming Jing.
Ming Jing never talked while eating, and several pairs of eyes were now on her. She swallowed her last bite, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and finally looked at Lin Qing.
Lin Qing said, “I know my own body the best, I’m fine. I just need to rest more.” Ming Jing stood up and went upstairs, “Come to my room later.”
Granny Zhu said to Lin Qing, “Trust Ming Jing, her medical skills are great.” Lin Qing bit her lip, “I…”
“What are you afraid of? She’s your own daughter, you have no old grudges with her. If Ming Jing really held a grudge against you, with her nature, she wouldn’t even look at you, let alone invite you into her room.”
Lin Qing felt a sense of relief in her heart, failing to notice that Zhu
Xiangxiang’s hand gripping her chopsticks was getting tighter and tighter..
