If it weren't for Miss Ming Zheng, they wouldn't have even considered the Ming Corporation.
It was precisely because of Miss Ming Zheng that their Ming family had secured a place in high society.
Yet, the Ming family failed to show gratitude.
Instead, they bullied their Miss Ming Zheng relentlessly!
And now, they even wanted to frame their Miss Ming Zheng?
If they had known, they should have called the police directly just now!
To prevent Miss Ming Zheng from being unhappy.
Ming father could no longer manage the thoughts of President Bai and President Ning. He bared his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, and glared fiercely at Ming Zheng, "Ming Zheng, it's you... it's you harming me!"
Ming Zheng's eyebrows subtly lifted, her gaze falling lightly onto Ming father's face.
Her eyes were calm and indifferent.
As if she were looking at a stranger.
Ming father felt his heart chill at that gaze.
His expression shifted rapidly.
Suddenly, he softened his tone, "Ming... Zheng Zheng, I know you hate me because of Rou Er, but I am your father, aren't I?"
"You know President Ning and President Bai, you should have told your father earlier."
He broke free from the security guards' arms.
The security guards, upon hearing Ming father refer to himself as the father of "that important figure," were stunned and dared not stop Ming father.
Ming father, his wet leather shoes squeaking, strode quickly towards Ming Zheng, "Zheng Zheng, you know Ming Corporation's current situation. You know President Ning and President Bai, help your father..."
This turnabout.
It happened faster than flipping a book.
What's more, Ming father wore an expression of entitlement.
This seemed to be the first time Ming father had used such an intimate address for her name.
Ming Zheng felt utterly disgusted.
"Director Ming, those are the true bosses behind Zhengrong Group and Zhengtu Group. How can you casually claim a daughter?"
Director Wang rushed forward from behind, hooking his arm around Ming father's neck, stopping his advance.
"Let me go! Let me go!"
Ming father wished he could kill Director Wang at that moment.
How could Director Wang possibly let him go?
He absolutely would not give Ming father any chance to recover.
Even if that important figure was indeed his daughter, so what?
Since Zhengtu Group and Zhengrong Group had announced the cancellation of cooperation with Ming Corporation, it must have been the will of that important figure.
He was not afraid of offending that important figure.
Utterly fearless!
Want to make a comeback?
Never in this lifetime!
Ming father was held by Director Wang.
Ming Zheng cast a calm, indifferent glance at Ming father.
Then, she walked directly into Zhengrong Group with President Bai and President Ning.
Without even sparing him a sidelong glance.
Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river.
If he had to blame anyone, it was Ming father for not leaving himself a way out when he was in power.
Therefore, he now had no retreat.
"Ming Zheng!!!"
Outside Zhengrong Group, Ming father's hysterical roar was deafening.
But it quickly ceased.
There was no further sound.
President Bai and President Ning followed behind Ming Zheng, glancing back occasionally, and asked in low voices, "Miss Ming Zheng, regarding Ming Corporation, should we..."
"No need to bother. They will dig their own graves."
Ming Zheng said indifferently, "You were so eager to find me, what's the matter?"
President Ning quickly replied, "Nothing major, it's just that the underground forces were wiped out some time ago, and we reaped quite a bit of the profits."
President Bai added, "However, what followed was that everyone wanted a piece of this profit and to take their place, so..."
Ming Zheng nodded, "Let's go up and discuss it."
-
When Ming Zheng left Zhengrong Group, it was already three hours later.
It had gotten dark.
Ming Zheng did not have dinner with Presidents Ning and Bai.
As they had said.
With the disintegration of the underground forces, there were many major powers eager to take their place.
They would be very busy from now on.
Ming Zheng had not been particularly conspicuous when she arrived.
Now, she had put on her hoodie again.
No one recognized her.
Ming Zheng walked all the way to the entrance of Zhengrong Group.
Half an hour earlier, she had called Mo Qi Yu, asking him to pick her up.
But Mo Qi Yu's flashy purple sports car was not at the entrance.
She was holding her phone, about to call Mo Qi Yu.
A black luxury car pulled up in front of her.
The car window rolled down.
Ming father's strained face appeared, "Ming... Zheng Zheng."
Ming father calling her so intimately made her feel a bit unaccustomed, but she kept forcing herself to get used to it.
Ming Zheng's gaze lifted slightly, falling onto Ming father's face.
He had changed out of his disheveled clothes and tidied himself up.
However, the weariness on his face was nothing like his former spirit and vigor.
From the driver's side, the door was opened.
A tall figure stepped out of the car.
He was at least one meter eighty-eight, wearing a black suit and a white shirt.
His hair was meticulously combed.
His stern, cold face wore the expression of a cool, domineering CEO.
"Zheng Zheng."
He spoke, his voice stiff and tense, even more unnatural than Ming father's.
He stood before Ming Zheng.
Ming Zheng looked up, meeting his cold, aloof eyes.
The eldest young master of the Ming family, Ming Zheng's former elder brother, Ming Ting Xu.
Although his name contained the character "Xu,"
It was clear he was aiming for the cool, domineering CEO route.
Regarding this elder brother.
When Ming Zheng first returned to the Ming family, she was quite afraid of him.
After all, he never showed her any good expression.
The gifts she had meticulously prepared for him were also slowly crushed by his foot, shod in a genuine leather shoe gifted by Ming Zhi Rou.
She had been extremely sad.
Ming Chu Yan, with his gentle smile, comforted her, saying, "Big brother just has that temper, it's not directed at you."
But later Ming Zheng discovered.
Ming Ting Xu was not cold to everyone.
When standing before Ming Zhi Rou.
His eyes would become very gentle.
And him crushing her gifts.
Was merely to make Ming Zhi Rou happy.
Now, seeing Ming Ting Xu standing before her, Ming Zheng's heart no longer stirred with any emotion.
"We are not familiar with each other. There's no need to force ourselves to pretend."
Her voice was calm, her eyebrows slightly raised, "Something wrong?"
She stood before Ming Ting Xu, appearing somewhat petite.
Yet she was not at all overwhelmed by Ming Ting Xu's aura.
That indifferent gaze caused Ming Ting Xu a moment of distraction.
Regarding this adopted sister.
Ming Ting Xu had little impression of her.
He only knew that every time she saw him.
Ming Zheng would show an ingratiating, hopeful look, timidly calling him "Big Brother."
But he would worry about Rou'er's unhappiness.
And had never truly looked at her.
And now...
She stood before him, so calm, her gaze like she was looking at a stranger.
It was indeed as her family had said.
She had changed.
But no matter how she changed.
She was still a Ming family member.
His sister, Ming Ting Xu's sister.
"I'm here to pick you up to go home," Ming Ting Xu reached out, wanting to take Ming Zheng's arm. "You've been away from home for so long, it's time to come home."
Ming Zheng did not move.
She merely lowered her gaze, glancing lightly at the outstretched hand, and smiled with a curl of her lip, "If you still want this hand, then don't touch me."
