Chapter 532: The Secret About the Past (150)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Mei Yangyang did not believe a word she said at all.

Having grown up together with her, she was more than clear about what Mei Shuangshuang’s character was like.

However, Mei Yangyang did not expose her directly for having a hidden agenda behind her sudden kindness.

“You’re not getting any younger, it’s time you had a life of your own. Since I’ve promised Mother to help set you up with a suitable prospective partner, I shall keep my word. However, you’d better kick all your bad habits.”

“Yes, got it.” Staring at the screen at Long Tianze, who did not even bother glancing up at her, Mei Shuangshuang asked, “Brother-in-law, I know you own a company. Are there any available job positions that are suitable for me in your company?”

Long Tianze then turned his head to look at her and answered, “Yes.”

“What kind of job is it?” Mei Shuangshuang asked, her eyes brimming with joy.

“A janitor.”

A sullen expression formed on Mei Shuangshuang’s face immediately. “A janitor?”

“Our company places emphasis on the education level of our employees. Even if you don’t have high academic qualifications, you’d have to have some experience in related jobs in order to qualify for the position. But you’re neither highly educated nor experienced, so...”

“Well, I don’t see the harm in being a janitor. You’d be able to work hard to earn your own keep. Would you like to take on the offer? I’ll get your brother-in-law to make the arrangements if you’re keen,” Mei Yangyang asked.

“Nah, I can’t handle the duties of a janitor,” Mei Shuangshuang answered in disappointment.

“It’s not that you can’t handle it, you just don’t have the motivation or drive to do so. You’d even be willing to clean toilets for a living when you’re driven to desperation and can’t even afford your own meals. I’ve worked all sorts of jobs in the past to make ends meet when Father had to stay home to take care of our bedridden Mother and you had to attend school. Every job has its meaningful purpose, it all depends on whether you’re willing to do it or not.”

Upon hearing her sister’s words, Mei Shuangshuang indeed felt a tinge of guilt and remorse.

—

After several days of trying to sort her feelings out, Tuoba Danxue was in a significantly better mood.

Although it appeared that she had returned to her usual self on the surface, Jiang Feng’s incident had truly traumatized her and would have a lifelong impact on her.

She no longer dared to speak to any males at all, not even her servants or bodyguards.

She was afraid that they would be implicated by just speaking to her.

An Xiaoning felt that Tuoba Danxue had developed a psychological disorder.

“Your Highness, shall we go out for a walk? You can’t just coop yourself up at home all day,” Zhi Yin suggested in a gentle voice.

“There’s nowhere to go,” Tuoba Danxue answered feebly.

“Your Highness, why don’t you call Mr. Jin Minxing here to take a walk with you? You two may get to know each other better and nurture your feelings for each other. Not only will Mr. and Mrs. President find it a good idea, they’ll definitely be overjoyed,” Zhi Yin again suggested.

“Hand me my mobile phone, I’ll give him a call,” said Tuoba Danxue, reaching a hand out.

Zhi Yin frantically handed her the mobile phone.

Jin Minxing made a trip down to her mansion as soon as he received her call.

By the time he arrived, Tuoba Danxue had already put on her makeup and changed into a beautiful dress.

They took the lead and walked in front while Zhi Yin and An Xiaoning followed behind.

“Look how gentlemanly this Mr. Jin Minxing is, he’s such a good match for Her Highness.”

“Yeah, they’re compatible in terms of socio-economic background and status. And they’re both such good-looking individuals,” An Xiaoning agreed while staring at the road ahead.

“Sadly, people like us are destined to never be able to marry a wealthy heir. That’s just how pragmatic the world is,” Zhi Yin lamented forlornly.

An Xiaoning kept her eyes fixed on the couple in front of them and did not respond to Zhi Yin’s words.

After walking for a distance, they gradually began advancing in the direction of the lake.

They continued to stroll along the lake.

“Hey, isn’t that His Highness over there? Who’s that girl beside him?” Zhi Yin questioned, pointing toward the front.

An Xiaoning took a look to find that it was Lin Shishi beside Tuoba Gucheng.

One was her godsister and the other, her godbrother. An Xiaoning would definitely let the cat out of the bag and risk having her true identity exposed if they were to hear her voice.

What a very small world, indeed.

Tuoba Gucheng and Lin Shishi began walking toward them.

An Xiaoning slowed down in her steps whereas Zhi Yin quickened her pace, causing An Xiaoning to fall behind.

“Brother, is this my future sister-in-law?” Tuoba Danxue asked while smiling.

“Nice to meet you, I’m Lin Shishi,” Lin Shishi greeted.

“I’ve heard of you before. You’re really pretty, so compatible with my brother.”

Lin Shishi blushed shyly and said, “You’re very compatible with Minxing too. I grew up with Minxing and we’re about the same age. He’s a very reliable person.”

Tuoba Danxue glanced at Jin Minxing and said, “I heard you’re in-laws, is that true?”

“No, our families are longtime friends and we’ve always been very close. But An Xiaoning is both our godsister.”

“Oh, I see. I heard that the Young Madam of the Jin family is superb at fortune-telling. I’d really like to meet her someday.”

An Xiaoning stopped in her tracks upon hearing their words. I really don’t get why they always have to mention me in their conversations, she thought to herself.

She walked in front slowly and Tuoba Gucheng casually glanced at her from not too far away. An Xiaoning did not flinch at all since her conscience was clear.

“If you’d like to meet my sister, I can speak to her for you, Your Highness.”

Tuoba Danxue nodded and suggested, “Sure. It’s a little boring to keep strolling about aimlessly. Why don’t we go sing some karaoke?”

“Where?”

“My brother has a special karaoke room. The soundproofing system is very effective.”

“Yeah, let’s go together if everyone agrees,” said Tuoba Gucheng.

“Sure, sounds great,” Lin Shishi agreed.

Everyone shifted their gaze to Jin Minxing, who answered, “I don’t have any objections.”

The four of them walked toward the front while An Xiaoning and Zhi Yin followed behind, leaving a short distance in between.

An Xiaoning felt ill at ease. At the rate that things were developing, her identity would be exposed sooner or later.

The best she could do now was to be extra careful.

She initially thought that she and Zhi Yin would be waiting outside the door while the four of them were inside the karaoke room. To her surprise, Tuoba Danxue invited the two of them to join in the crowd as well.

Zhi Yin was first told to sing a song to boost the joyous mood, after which An Xiaoning’s greatest worry finally arrived.

“Mu Ning, come sing a song,” said Tuoba Danxue, handing her the microphone.

An Xiaoning stepped forward and whispered to Tuoba Danxue, “Your Highness, I’m really bad at singing. My throat feels uncomfortable today too. How about I perform a dance instead?”

“Sure.” Tuoba Danxue clapped her hands and exclaimed, “Come, let’s welcome Mu Ning to dance for us!”

“You know how to dance?” Zhi Yin asked apprehensively.

An Xiaoning walked towards the song selection system and picked an electrifying song.

As the music started playing, An Xiaoning began dancing gracefully and letting her hair down boldly.

She looked exceptionally alluring.

Every move of hers exuded a feminine charm.

The crowd in the room was impressed by her marvelous dancing skills and watched in awe, despite her unaesthetic physical appearance.

With a glass of liquor in hand, Tuoba Gucheng stared at the woman before him. All of a sudden, he discovered that she possessed a unique charm that compensated for her mediocre looks.

He felt a little surreal at the thought of what happened the night before — the pleasure he felt while in a delirium and the moans of passion ringing in his ear.

It all seemed like just a dream.

An Xiaoning perspired greatly after performing the dance. Once the song ended, she bowed to her audience and moved toward the side.
