From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

Chapter 475  222 Appearances (Sixth Watch)

Zhao Heng immediately waved excitedly when she saw her: "Ming Jing, here!"

His voice attracted many people's attention. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Zhao Heng quickly covered his mouth.

But Ming Jing was still noticed, not surprisingly, as Ming Jing was always the most eye-catching sight wherever she went.

However, everyone was in a hurry to catch their flights, so they didn't have time to chase after stars. They just had a quick glance, marveled for a moment, and then went their separate ways.

Ming Jing was not part of the entertainment industry. Although she had participated in a variety show, she didn't continue to pursue a career in the entertainment field. People's impression of her was that she was famous, but not a star. These two ideas were quite different.

Famous people did not have fan circles chasing after them like stars. They generally held a certain status and influence in society, but stars, regardless of how popular they were, were merely commercial products after being turned into internet sensations.

Ming Jing's appearance did not cause much commotion. Song Yinzhang, Zhao Heng, and Xie Zhen were waiting for her at the entrance. Xie Zhen was looking at Ming Jing now, not knowing where to look.

She thought about Tang Wan inviting her out yesterday, mentioning her admission to CMO, and feeling happy for her, while also revealing some bitterness in her words.

She and Tang Wan had grown further apart, and she was no longer the straightforward, cheerful Tang Wan she had met before.

Speaking cynically, she heard people at the next table discussing Ming Jing and deliberately went over to make trouble, leaving them confused and cursing her as mad.

She was confused. If it was for Song Yinzhang, why harbour such hatred for Ming Jing?

Not that she wanted to belittle herself, but Ming Jing was like the moon in the sky, while they were mere fishes and shrimp in the pond. Why should fireflies contend with the sun and the moon? Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

What did Tang Wan mean by reminding her to pay attention to Ming Jing's every move? Did she want her to become a spy?

Xie Zhen didn't have the heart to tell her that she could only get into CMO because of Ming Jing's help.

Ming Jing had generously lent her the notes summarizing the key points of the exam. She still kept that notebook. Without it, she would not have been able to get into CMO with her level of ability.

One should know one's own worth, not harm others, but appreciate the help received. To repay kindness with resentment was despicable and contemptible.

Yesterday, she told Tang Wan that from now on, they would not be friends and would go their separate ways.

She still vividly remembered Tang Wan's face turning pale with anger, accusing her of forgetting her friends when it suited her interests.

Xie Zhen ignored her words and walked away. Their values were too different now.

More than two months had passed since the exam, and a lot had happened to Ming Jing during this time. She became Shen Zhou's sister, won the spectacular Jiangzhou Horse Race...and so on. She also grew more beautiful and composed, evoking deep feelings of inferiority in others.

Any woman in this world would feel inferior in front of her, right?

Xie Zhen realized this thought and immediately snapped out of it, trying to greet her naturally: "Ming Jing, hello, do you still remember me?"

Ming Jing smiled slightly and replied gently, "Xie Zhen."

Xie Zhen was somewhat surprised and said, "You actually remember me, thank you for lending me your notes, otherwise, I wouldn't have made it into CMO."

"The person you should be most grateful to is yourself. Without your efforts, even the notes would have been useless."

These words made the previously unconfident Xie Zhen's eyes light up, looking at Ming Jing intently: "Really?"

Ming Jing nodded, "I saw your exam paper that day. Your calculation of the final numerical integration used Gaussian integration. Although the result was wrong, your problem-solving approach was correct. You have a solid foundation and must have worked hard to learn college-level calculus on your own. Diligent people should not be ignored."

Xie Zhen was greatly shocked and stared deeply at Ming Jing.

The girl's smile was gentle, her eyes bright and admiring.

She had always been unremarkable in class, no matter how good her academic performance was, she was still labeled as a bookworm. Tang Wan played with her only as a foil, and she had grown accustomed to it over time.

Now that someone acknowledged her, she felt indescribably excited and moved.

"I...I..." Xie Zhen's lips quivered violently, and her eyes filled with tears behind her thick glasses.

Zhao Heng muttered, "We're still missing one person, but let's go through the boarding process first."

The few of them had little luggage and didn't need to check it in. They changed their boarding passes, went through security, and then found their way to the waiting area.

The plane tickets were purchased by the authorities with the information collected. Students who needed to upgrade their cabins could make special arrangements. As Xie Zhen's family was not well off, Song Yinzhang had bought economy class tickets to take care of her. Ming Jing and Zhao Heng had no objections to this.
