After recovering, Shi Miao returned to school. True to her usual attitude, she kept her identity a secret, and only a few of her roommates knew about it.
Although she tried to keep a low profile, there were several other rich daughters and young masters studying at S University. They mentioned this matter to their friends, and word spread quickly. It didn't take long for everyone to know that Shi Miao was the real daughter of the Zhou family. It even became a hot topic on the school forum.
Shi Miao was already famous enough in school, and now everyone has an extra filter of beauty and strength for her.
It's so pitiful! She was clearly a real rich lady, but because of Zhou Man's biological mother's vicious selfishness, she fell into the abyss in the first half of her life, and even met a vicious roommate like Xie Xin. Xie Xin, who was originally in prison, was dragged out and flogged again. Everyone laughed at her for being blind.
Everyone knows that Xie Xin had always been eager to get close to Zhou Man, but before she could do so, she framed Shi Miao and ended up in jail. And the very Shi Miao she looked down upon was actually the eldest daughter of the Zhou family. This is a kind of black humor.
When the news reached the Xie family, Xie's father and mother almost vomited blood.
The Xie family had been having a very difficult time recently. With their daughter's middle and high school experiences uncovered, their reputation plummeted to rock bottom. Over the past few months, the Wen family had been relentlessly suppressing them, further exacerbating their already dire situation. Now, considering Shi Miao's past, they suddenly understood. Their talk of repaying a favor was a lie; Wen Chengzhou and Wen Chenghan were simply venting their anger on behalf of their own niece!
Now, they had become the unpopular people in their circle. No one wanted to associate with them, and it was considered a blessing if they didn't take advantage of their misfortune. In just a few months, their family had experienced all the hardships they had experienced in the past few decades.
Xie's father was extremely angry and scolded Xie's mother, "It's all because of you that we have such a good daughter. You have brought up such a bad family."
He thought of Yang Bin, who had previously attempted to attack Shi Miao. He had been on a string of bad luck for the past few months, with Yang Bin himself suffering from hemiplegia and the Yang family going bankrupt. Xie's father shuddered, fearing that the Xie family would become the next Yang family.
Xie's mother felt wronged and angry. Whenever Xie Xin was praised before, she always said it was his contribution. Now that something happened, it became her fault. This was too unfair. But she was her daughter after all, so she couldn't just ignore her.
Fearing the Xie family would also go bankrupt, Xie's father immediately announced his expulsion from the family and revoked Xie Xin's lawyer. Furthermore, he openly brought his illegitimate children home and even employed them at the company. In the past, Xie's mother would have joined her son in protesting. But now, she didn't dare, fearing her husband would be determined to divorce her.
Even though her lawyer was fired, Xie Xin, whose guilt was already proven, was sentenced in March to seven years with no parole.
In court, when the verdict was announced, Xie Xin almost went crazy and could not accept the fact.
"Impossible! I want to see my dad! I want to see my mom!"
She originally thought that the Xie family would fight for a suspended sentence for her. After the suspended sentence was granted, she could use some connections to maybe save a few years.
The victim's family who sued her sneered, "You're just dreaming! Your parents abandoned you a long time ago."
"Do you still remember Shi Miao?"
When Xie Xin heard Shi Miao's name, her haggard face twisted into a ball. How could she not remember? If it weren't for her, she would still be the daughter of the noble Xie family, living an enviable life outside, instead of suffering in prison.
Her life was ruined by Shi Miao.
"Shi Miao, she is the real daughter of the Zhou family!"
Xie Xin seemed to be struck by lightning. All the strength to resist was gone. She just murmured, "How is it possible? Isn't Zhou Man the daughter of the Zhou family?"
"Zhou Man is fake, Shi Miao is the real daughter."
A sweet and fishy taste rose up from his throat, and Xie Xin spat out a mouthful of blood in court and fainted.
…
Shi Miao had stopped paying attention to Xie Xin a long time ago. During this period, she focused on her studies and making magical instruments.
This magical instrument was made for Ji Jingyao. She had previously agreed with him that she would select ten pieces of raw materials from him, and her reward would be to help him make a protective magical instrument.
As someone who kept her word, Shi Miao naturally didn't forget this. After her cultivation level rose, her control over spiritual power and formations became more and more proficient. The final result of this magical instrument was arguably the most satisfying thing she had achieved since she came to this world.
This protective magical weapon can withstand three attacks from a Foundation Establishment cultivator, let alone attacks from those below the Foundation Establishment stage. Furthermore, it also acts as a thermostat, keeping one warm in winter and cool in summer.
During the final stage of refining the weapon, the kitten outside the window was meowing so cutely that Shi Miao accidentally lost his focus... Although it did not hinder the refining of the magic weapon, there was a small accident in terms of its shape.
She put the magic weapon into the box and called Ji Jingyao.
The call was connected soon.
"I have already refined your magic weapon. When will you come to get it?"
If other people in the circle knew Shi Miao's attitude, they would probably be speechless.
That’s Ji Jingyao!
Ji Jingyao quickly arranged a time to meet at a teahouse not far from the school. The average cost of this teahouse was 10,000 yuan. Shi Miao did some research and discovered it was part of the Ji family's business. Speaking of which, the Ji family had so many businesses that even the outside world couldn't count them.
She arrived at the box and waited for less than ten minutes before Ji Jingyao arrived.
Unlike his usual well-tailored suits, Ji Jingyao wore casual clothes today, which made him look less sharp and more youthful than usual.
Only at this time did Shi Miao feel that the other party was really a young man.
The reason is that the suit has too much aura, and subconsciously it makes the other person look older.
He sat down in front of Shi Miao, and his eyelashes seemed longer when he lowered his eyes.
Shi Miao pushed the box containing the magic weapon in front of him, "It's the magic weapon you promised."
Ji Jingyao opened the box and fell silent when he looked at the lifelike jade carving of a cat inside.
It's not just a jade cat sculpture, it's a kitten licking its paw. It's cute, sure, but it's completely different from his style of painting.
Ji Jingyao imagined himself wearing this thing...
No! It's unimaginable.
Silent pressure spread from him.
Shi Miao smiled brightly, "Isn't it cute?"
Ji Jingyao looked up at her.
Shi Miao remained indifferent. "Do you need me to help you put it on?"
"Why is it this shape?"
Shi Miao said seriously, "Maybe this is Yu's own will?"
She was certainly wrong to refine the jade pendant into the shape of a kitten, but was there nothing wrong with it?
"Look at it this way. If you wear it on your body, who would think it's a magical weapon?"
Ji Jingyao twitched his thin lips and let out a short, cold laugh.
He believed her lies!
