Chapter 123 - 123: 072 Fate (Second Update)

“Ms. Zhu misunderstood.” Shen Ke explained.

“We came to thank you for your heroism that day. If it weren’t for you stepping up, our family’s old man might have been in danger.”

“So, you are the family of that old man.” Zhu Xiangxiang looked at them.

“Is the old man okay now? If I have time, I’d like to visit him.” Zhu Xiangxiang asked with a worried expression.

“The old man is in good health and has been discharged from the hospital.”

Zhu Xiangxiang breathed a sigh of relief: “That’s good.”

Charles Gao suddenly took out his phone and found a video: “So the girl who saved people in the video was Ms. Zhu.”

Zhu Xiangxiang smiled: “You flatter me. It was just a small deed.”

Charles Gao suddenly frowned: “But I don’t think the person in the video looks anything like Ms. Zhu.”

Zhu Xiangxiang’s face stiffened, and Shen Ke noticed that her hairstyle had changed.

She had short hair when he saw her at the café last time, but now, her hair was long?

“The girl in the video had short hair, but Ms. Zhu has long hair. Can your hair change length at will?” Charles Gao pressed.

Zhu Xiangxiang’s smile stayed on her face as she flipped her hair: “Can’t I wear a wig for my styling needs?”

Charles Gao nodded: “Of course, but…”

Zhu Xiangxiang was hating Charles Gao in her heart. Why was he always against her?

“But being Ms. Zhu of the Zhus, having a private car to pick you up and drop you off at school, why would you take the subway during rush hour?” Charles Gao looked at Zhu Xiangxiang with a smirk, wondering how she would explain this.

Shen Ke furrowed his brows; he had overlooked this fact.

Zhu Xiangxiang gritted her teeth: “I occasionally take the subway to and from school to experience the hardships of life.”

Charles Gao almost laughed. What a weak excuse.

Did she think she was the emperor? Going on an undercover tour to experience the people’s suffering?

Shen Zhou gave Zhu Xiangxiang a deep look: “Ms. Zhu, on the phone that day, you said you would stay with my father until he woke up. Why did you leave when my assistant went to find you?” Telephone?

Zhu Xiangxiang’s brow furrowed.

Shen Zhou looked at Shen Ke and then turned and left.

Realizing too late, Shen Ke asked seriously: “Ms. Zhu, was that really you who saved people on the subway that day?”

Shen Ke’s stern face was intimidating, especially to Zhu Xiangxiang, a girl who hadn’t even left high school. Her expression changed instantly.

“Are you… suspecting that I’m pretending? It’s disgraceful to be accused like this. It’s ridiculous to get in trouble for doing good deeds.” The girl’s face was full of righteous indignation, as if she had been wronged.

Shen Ke shook his head. He had been muddleheaded. This whole matter felt strange, and he should investigate it more thoroughly.

“Ms. Zhu, we’ll meet again.” With that, Shen Ke hurriedly left to catch up with

Shen Zhou.

“Stop acting. All the audience is gone. Who are you performing for?” Charles Gao crossed his arms and looked down at Zhu Xiangxiang.

Zhu Xiangxiang glared at him: “Why are you always against me?”

Charles Gao sneered: “Because some people are just too shameless.”

Zhu Xiangxiang looked at him suspiciously. Did he know something?

Charles Gao pointed at her and said: “People do things, and God watches. Do you think everyone is a fool?”

Zhu Xiangxiang frowned: “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Charles Gao rolled his eyes: “I truly underestimated the thickness of your skin.”

With that, he hurried away. He was busy tonight and had no time to tangle with her. Once tonight’s banquet was over, he would settle accounts with her.

Zhu Xiangxiang’s heart raced. Why were things not going as she had expected, and instead, none of them believed her?

Did she say something wrong?

Shen Zhou and Shen Ke hadn’t seen Zhu Mingjing, so they certainly wouldn’t know, but what about Charles Gao? He knew Zhu Mingjing well. If he recognized her and told Shen Zhou…

She would be in trouble.

Zhu Xiangxiang immediately chased after Charles Gao.

Ming Jing stepped out of the darkness, shaking his head with a smile.

So this was what Zhu Xiangxiang had been up to these days behind everyone’s back.

How could someone be this foolish?

“So that’s the backstory between Xiangxiang and Shen Zhou.” Sun Yi sighed. Ming Jing glanced at him: “You and Zhu Xiangxiang are quite a match.”

Sun Yi smiled, already thinking they were a great match.

“One is blind, and the other is foolish.”

With that, Ming Jing left, ignoring the ugly look on Sun Yi’s face..
