Zhao Qin sighed in regret, “What a pity, a good plan was ruined.”

Zhu Xiangxiang, that stupid good-for-nothing girl.

Li Jiaojiao covered her forehead, gritted her teeth and stared at Liu Muxue beside Ming Jing, a cold light flickering in her eyes.

“So, she just got away with it? The real heiress turned into a fake one, lied to everyone, and still, everyone forgives her. Is it because people are too tolerant or her acting is too good?”

“What else can we do?” They were out of options.

Ming Xin played the emotional card so well that everyone fell for it. As long as she insisted, Ming Jing would be invulnerable like an iron bucket.

Zhao Qin couldn’t understand; human nature was selfish. How magnanimous must Ming Xin be to do such a thing?

Or were they lying together?

But why would Ming Xin help a Junior who had betrayed and deceived her?

It was hard to fathom the human heart, Zhao Qin didn’t believe Ming Xin could be so forbearing.

The sound of clapping broke the silence, and everyone looked in the direction it came from.

Jiang Chunlan clapped while saying, “The deep love between sisters is so touching. It reminds me of my sister. Ming Xin, though your intentions are good, have you ever thought about how you’re deceiving your parents and causing them the pain of losing their daughter twice? It’s really not right.”

By pressing this issue of virtue, they could make sure people couldn’t catch a breath.

Ming Xin glanced at Jiang Chunlan and smiled: “Madam, you were once a daughter and had close sisters too, so you should understand me. My mother already has a well-behaved and lovely daughter by her side. All I wanted was to provide my Junior with a place to settle down, nothing more. But now, after all the twists and turns, it seems the result isn’t too bad, as it has revealed people’s true nature.”

Jiang Chunlan narrowed her eyes. This girl had a sharp tongue.

Ming Xin didn’t know Jiang Chunlan’s identity, but her position and demeanor suggested she was not a simple person, and her words were oddly ambiguous, not a good person to deal with.

Ming Xin turned around, walked step by step to Granny Zhu, knelt down, and solemnly kowtowed three times.

“Granny, I am Ming Xin.”

Ming Jing came over and knelt down beside Ming Xin.

“Senior has returned everything to its rightful owner. Ming Jing had no intention of deception. Please, Granny, forgive her.”

Only at this moment did everyone remember that the gathering that night was for the birthday celebration of the Zhu family’s matriarch.

The birthday lady wore festive clothes, and despite the turmoil in the family, Lin Qing was in utter distress, while Granny Zhu remained particularly calm and composed, with a rosy and radiant complexion.

Granny Zhu held both Ming Xin’s and Ming Jing’s hands, overlapping them, and repeatedly praised them.

“Good, good, my two lovely granddaughters. Today is truly a day to celebrate.”

Granny Zhu seemed to be open-minded, and with that single sentence, the matter was settled.

Ming Xin showed a big white-toothed grin.

“Granny, I heard from my Junior that you treated her exceptionally well. You truly are my dear Granny.”

“Oh, my sweet granddaughter.” Granny Zhu hugged Ming Xin tightly, looking at her lovingly.

“You’re too thin. You must have suffered a lot during the years you were away. Granny won’t let you suffer any more from now on.”

“Thank you, Granny, you’re so kind.” Ming Xin felt the tenderness of the old lady, and her heart softened a little.

Not everyone in the Zhu family was bad.

Granny Zhu pulled up Ming Jing: “Although you’re not my biological granddaughter, you’ve been taking good care of me, always being filial and sensible. From now on, you and your Senior will both be legitimate heirs of the Zhu family. You’ll always carry the surname Zhu.”

Everyone thought that age really made her wiser.

“Thank you, Granny,” said Ming Jing softly.

Everyone was delighted.

“No!” Zhu Xiangxiang seemed to go mad.

“People say that I’m the fake heiress who usurped the nest. I’ve carried this stigma for so long, yet she is the one who actually usurped the nest. Why would you forgive her? Why? How have you treated me? It’s not fair. Life is not fair!”

Granny Zhu slammed her cane on the floor, producing a loud thud. The room was silent for a moment.

Zhu Xiangxiang subconsciously shrunk her neck in fear.

Granny Zhu slowly stood up from her wheelchair, with Ming Xin and Ming Jing quickly supporting her from both sides.

Granny Zhu shot a sharp glance at Zhu Xiangxiang: “Our family never mistreated you. Even your foster mother treated you better than before, fearing that you would think too much about it. You’ve been pampered ever since you were little, the pearl in the Zhu family’s palm. But what about my biological granddaughter, Ming Xin? Look at her hands.”
