Chapter 254 Picking up Sister Mingyue at the airport!
Shi Jing: "Yes. But the second episode won't start recording until tomorrow afternoon, so there's still time to go back today."
"Oh..." Shi Fei nodded, his heart beating inexplicably fast, as if the unease from his dream was spreading outwards.
"Did something happen at home today? Do you need your uncle's help?" he asked indirectly.
Zhu Jinchao shook his head: "I don't think so, because my older brother told me yesterday that it's a good thing."
"...That's good." Shi Fei's unease did not improve at all because of Zhu Jinzhao's answer; on the contrary, it gradually intensified.
"Hoo..." He took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, before turning to look at Shi Jing beside him and giving him a few special instructions: "You brat, make sure you get Jinzhao home safely later. And remember to pick Jinzhao up for the show tomorrow, okay?"
Shi Jing gave him an "OK" sign at the camera.
"I understand. I can handle these small details. You can rest assured."
"Hmm." Shi Fei frowned and glared at him. "Drive carefully. Take Jinzhao out for lunch first, then take her home."
Shi Jing: "I have plans!"
"Buzzing—"
The secretary called, but Shi Fei didn't waste any words and hung up the video call immediately.
“Hey,” Shi Jing chuckled, “This old man must have gone to a meeting again. He didn’t even say goodbye before hanging up the phone.”
Zhu Jinzhao was holding her phone replying to WeChat messages when she took a moment to say to him, "Your dad has to manage such a big company, where would he find the time to say goodbye to you slowly?"
"Okay..." Shi Jing unilaterally forgave him.
"By the way, Chaochao, where is your sister Mingyue?"
Zhu Jinzhao: "She's already off the plane, we can just go to the airport to pick her up."
"Alright!" Shi Jing stepped on the gas and drove the Bentley at breakneck speed.
An hour later, they successfully picked up the weary Zhu Mingyue at the airport.
"Bang!"
As soon as Zhu Mingyue closed the car door, she urged Shi Jing anxiously, "Shi Jing, drive quickly! Those fans are catching up!"
"What are you afraid of?" Shi Jing laughed as he started the car. "These fans who come to pick you up just want to take pictures of you, ask for an autograph or a photo, is it really necessary to panic like this?"
Zhu Mingyue took off her mask and hat, panting, and said, "Of course! Thanks to that idiot Su Ying, my Weibo followers have skyrocketed! There are at least a hundred fans who came to pick me up at the airport. If I stopped to sign autographs and take photos with them, I would disrupt the order of the airport."
"I have to walk fast, I absolutely can't let them catch me."
"...More than a hundred!" This terrifying number startled Zhu Jinzhao. "With so many people, you really need to run faster. Shi Jing, hurry up and drive!"
Shi Jing put on his sunglasses and sped off.
"no problem!"
"Ahhh!! Bright Moon!"
"Mingyue is gone!!"
As soon as the Bentley drove out of the parking lot, the enthusiastic shouts of the fans rang out behind it.
Zhu Mingyue glanced back at them, patting her chest in lingering fear: "Luckily I ran fast enough, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get away now."
“Sigh…” Zhu Jinzhao sighed, “Sometimes having too many fans is a problem.”
"Of course." Zhu Mingyue put down her bag, took out a bag of snacks from the bag and handed it to Zhu Jinzhao, "I bought you some local specialties, sweet-skinned duck."
"Wow!" Zhu Jinzhao's eyes lit up at the mention of food. She took the bag and eagerly opened it to take a sniff.
"It smells so good!"
Zhu Mingyue: "This is delicious. You have to eat it quickly, or it will go bad if you leave it out any longer."
Zhu Jinzhao tied the bag up and said with a grin, "I'll take it to the restaurant to eat later. Mingyue, what do you want for lunch?"
Zhu Mingyue slumped in her chair, closing her eyes wearily: "Whatever, as long as I'm full."
Shi Jing raised an eyebrow: "Since you say it's up to you, then Chaochao and I will make the decision ourselves?"
"Ha..." Zhu Mingyue yawned, her words slightly slurred, "Take it, take it, I'm fine with anything..."
She's been working non-stop these past two days, spinning like a top, and has only slept for less than eight hours.
Now that she was finally on the bus home, her tense body and mind instantly relaxed, and then a heavy drowsiness enveloped her like a tide.
She closed her eyes for less than five seconds before she was swept into a bizarre dream, feeling dizzy and disoriented.
In my dream, she looked somewhat fierce and menacing.
"Zhu Jinzhao, you're really tenacious." She stood in the empty Zhu family villa, arms crossed, smiling at Zhu Jinzhao.
In the dream, Zhu Jinzhao was neither obedient nor cute. She was extremely thin; her once chubby face was now noticeably sunken, making her look quite ugly.
Her attire wasn't very good either; a loose, white cotton-linen dress draped over her body, making her look listless, as if her life force had been drained by a ghost.
In addition, her long hair was loose and disheveled, with a head of dry, straw-like black hair hanging messily over her shoulders, which was unpleasant to look at.
Compared to Zhu Mingyue, who had a rosy complexion and was dressed exquisitely, they were worlds apart.
"I've done all this to you, and you're still able to stay in the Zhu family unscathed. I'm truly impressed." Zhu Mingyue said with a smile, her sinister smile sending a chill down the spine of the woman sleeping in the chair.
"Zhu Mingyue, I never intended to stay in the Zhu family." Zhu Jinzhao looked at her expressionlessly, his voice soft but his tone cold.
"From the moment you came home, I kept saying I would leave, but you did everything you could to stop me from leaving!"
"Because I haven't had enough fun yet," Zhu Mingyue said lightly. "I haven't gotten tired of you yet, how could I bear to let you go so easily?"
"You are the only joy in my boring life."
Zhu Jinzhao: "How long do you plan to keep playing? Zhu Mingyue, I don't owe you anything!"
"...You don't owe me anything?" This made Zhu Mingyue a little unhappy.
She gave a brief twitch at the corner of her mouth, her smile shifting from playful to mocking, and a hint of sinister murderous intent crept into her cold eyes.
"Zhu Jinzhao, why don't you owe me anything?"
"Why should I owe you anything?" Zhu Jinchao retorted sharply. "When I was switched at birth, I was just a newborn baby. What could I possibly decide?"
"You are innocent, but am I not innocent?"
"Where is your innocence?!" Zhu Mingyue was annoyed by her tough attitude, and her voice suddenly rose.
"Zhu Jinzhao, what makes you so innocent? You were born a lowly country girl, but just because you were switched at birth, you defied the heavens and became the apple of the eye of the Zhu family in the capital!"
"You've lived in the Zhu family for twenty years, enjoying twenty years of wealth and luxury that weren't yours. What makes you so innocent? You've benefited from this and you're still acting innocent, aren't you?"
