Chapter 406: 187 Passerby (First watch of the night) _3

Lin Qing patted her hand: “Let’s go, let’s go home.”

Zhu Xiangxiang glanced at the direction of the mountain road where the car had disappeared, hooked her lips, and a hint of triumph flashed through her eyes.

Zhu Mingjing, you chose to leave on your own; you can’t blame me.

Zhu Shaodan stretched lazily: “With someone gone, the air feels much smoother.”

Granny Zhu gave him a glance and told Madam Zhou, “Let’s go back to the room.”

She couldn’t bear to watch any longer.

Madam Zhou sighed, pushing Granny Zhu’s wheelchair back to the bedroom.

After careful consideration, Ming Jing decided to settle down in Tonghe Shengshi.

Firstly, the layout was reasonable with enough rooms for everyone. Secondly, it was close to Ming Ti and Ming Chen’s schools, saving a lot of time every day.

This house was originally given to her by Lin Qing, but Ming Jing swapped it for another house with the same layout in the same complex.

She didn’t feel attachment to things that didn’t belong to her in the first place.

Leaving the Zhu’s was Ming Jing’s plan from the start. She had fulfilled her promise to Senior, and the Zhu’s had survived the crisis unharmed. There was no need for her to stay and bring trouble to Lin Qing.

Ming Jing had the house renovated again, and now it had a simple and elegant style that was very pleasing to the eye.

There were two bedrooms downstairs, a master bedroom with a bathroom, as well as a dining room, kitchen, and a shared bathroom. Upstairs, there was a master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and another bedroom. Ming Jing turned the small living room upstairs into a connected study for the master bedroom.

Ming Jing lived in the master bedroom upstairs, Ming Yi lived in the other bedroom upstairs, while Ming Ti and Ming Chen stayed in the master bedroom downstairs. Han Suwen and Xiao Ying lived in the other bedroom downstairs. Although not as large as the three-story villa of the Zhu family, the duplex penthouse had a wider view, and each bedroom was large enough for everyone to live comfortably.

Ming Chen excitedly rolled around on the bed. “From now on, we’ll live with Ming Jing and never have to see Zhu Xiangxiang’s annoying face again. This is so great!”

Ming Ti prepared to hang their clothes in the closet and was shocked when she entered the walk-in wardrobe. “Ming Jing even prepared clothes for us.”

Ming Chen jumped off the bed onto the soft carpet, which felt especially comfortable under her bare feet.

Exclaiming in surprise, Ming Chen ran in, yelling, “Ming Jing, I love you!”

The walk-in wardrobe was filled with custom-made clothes tailored for them according to their ages. Ming Ti was fine, but Ming Chen, a girl who loved beauty and dressing up, was dazzled by all the beautiful outfits.

Similarly, Ming Yi’s room and Ming Jing’s walk-in wardrobe were also filled with clothes.

This turned out to be a beautiful misunderstanding.

Ming Jing previously designed clothes and asked Dai Xi to help customize them. Dai Xi liked Ming Jing’s designs but knew they wouldn’t be for commercial use, so she didn’t pursue the idea. After all, no one likes seeing everyone wearing the same clothes as them on the streets.

Later, when Ming Jing participated in the “Three Meals a Day” show, Xiao Wenwen asked her where she got her clothes. Ming Jing mentioned her brand, and it became an overnight sensation. She received so many orders and increased her brand’s popularity, creating significant value for herself.

No wonder businesses love to have celebrities advertise for them. Ming Jing’s casual remark made a huge profit for her.

Now, there were many imitations of Ming Jing’s dresses being sold online, selling out so quickly that netizens even gave the dress a beautiful name, “Step by Step Lotus.”

No matter how many imitations were sold, only Ming Jing could truly wear the “Step by Step Lotus” style.

At one point, a popular social media influencer tried to chase trending topics by live-streaming in the dress. Without Ming Jing’s figure and elegance, they failed miserably and only provided comic relief. The influencer was eventually shamed into apologizing by netizens.

When Ming Jing renovated the house, she had Dai Xi take care of the children’s clothes. Ye Zhen, who was staying at the house at the time, provided their measurements to Dai Xi, but Ming Jing didn’t pay much attention to it.

Unexpectedly, Dai Xi sent over so many clothes without charging a cent, claiming it was payment for advertising. Furthermore, she would cover all of Ming Jing and her sisters’ clothing expenses in the future, sending new clothes every season and taking back old clothes for recycling. This ensured that their wardrobes were always full of new clothes.

Ming Jing entered her walk-in wardrobe which was filled with her signature all-white clothing. Dai Xi, knowing her style, only made slight changes to the details. As an excellent designer, she knew Ming Jing’s preferences well and wouldn’t make mistakes in the design.

She hung up the clothes she brought and finished organizing everything. By this time, the night was deep.

After showering, Ming Jing came out and noticed it had started to rain heavily. The wind and rain battered against the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Ming Jing stood by the window for a while before heading downstairs.

Han Suwen had prepared a midnight snack, and the kids and Xiao Ying were sitting together eating, talking, and laughing. The atmosphere was harmonious and cheerful.

Seeing Ming Jing, Xiao Ying immediately put down her chopsticks: “Miss.”

Ming Chen, Ming Ti, and Ming Yi’s faces were full of smiles, appearing genuinely happy.

“Ming Jing.”

Ming Jing pulled up a chair and sat down, noting that everyone had almost finished eating. She said, “Now that we have left the Zhu’s and won’t be going back, this place will be our home from now on. Wenwen, Xiao Ying, are you willing to stay here?”

Han Suwen didn’t hesitate, “Miss, I am willing to stay with you and take care of you for the rest of my life.”

Her hand secretly held Ming Yi’s small hand tightly under the table. As long as Ming Jing stays, she would stay close to Ming Yi.

“Great, Aunt Wen can stay with me forever!” Ming Yi hugged Han Suwen’s arm, cheering excitedly in her childish voice.

“Miss, of course I want to follow you! Don’t even think about ditching me. I’ll stick with you for the rest of my life.” Xiao Ying was still moved by the scene at the Zhu’s house earlier.

In order to protect her, Ming Jing had even confronted Madam and allowed her to have a satisfying counterattack. Xiao Ying swore to herself that she would follow such a good mistress forever.

Ming Jing nodded: “All right, from now on, you are all part of this family. There are a few things I need to discuss with you….”

The night grew darker, with the wind and rain howling outside.

Some tossed and turned, some were plagued by nightmares, and some slept with sweet dreams.
