From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

Chapter 775: 392 Changes

What? The company’s largest shareholder is Master Xiao from the Rans’ family?

Zhao Ninghan had just finished reading about the high rise of the Rans’ family. This Master Xiao represented a combination of power and wealth in Jiangzhou, and she had not expected him to be involved in the entertainment circle.

Zhao Ninghan choked, “Mr. Li, the company can’t just abandon me like this. Please listen to my explanation…”

“What explanation? Just look at how many people are scolding you online. Master Xiao has already made it clear this time that I can’t protect you. Take care of yourself.”

The other party hung up the phone.

Zhao Ninghan listened to the busy signal coming from her phone, her heart sinking to the bottom.

“I didn’t sleep or rest to help you handle your diva attitude. When your career was on the rise, you became infatuated with love. I begged and pleaded to help you deal with the media. Finally, you were stable, only to get involved in a scandal with a pretty boy. Do you know how many people are eyeing your position and want to bring you down? Instead, you’re blinded by lust. I’ve done everything I could for you over the years. From now on, take care of yourself.”

The agent left her statement, turned around, and walked away, not wanting to help her anymore.

“Madam Xu, can you help me think of a solution? We’ve come through so many hardships together over the years; you can’t leave me at this critical moment.” Zhao Ninghan rushed over and grabbed her agent’s hand, pleading desperately.

“I warned you a long time ago, yet you insisted on not listening. What can I do? You had to mess with Ming Jing instead of someone less dangerous. Even if she didn’t mind, her nephew is a vengeful person. Are you trying to get me to die with you?”

The agent shook off her hand and left without looking back.

Zhao Ninghan stumbled out of the venue, her spirit shattered. In an instant, a large group of media surrounded her. Flashbulbs went off everywhere, almost blinding her.

The questions coming from all directions overwhelmed her. Journalists carrying microphones and cameras appeared like voracious vampires, their eyes filled with crazed greed, wishing to devour her flesh and drink her blood.

Zhao Ninghan was in complete disarray, crashing about within the tightly-packed crowd. “Get out of my way… all of you, get out of my way!”

She used all her strength to scream, but it was like throwing a small stone into the vast ocean—no response at all.

Her disheveled appearance was fully captured by the cameras.

Media commentary—the fall of an era and the rise of a new star.

Liang Yanran and Zhao Ninghan’s time had passed. The future belonged to the young.

Ming Xin’s first official appearance left an excellent impression on the public. The media bluntly praised her as the one who would usher in a new era.

As for the future star of the entertainment circle, she was currently enjoying herself on the snack street. “Stinky tofu! I love stinky tofu the most!”

Ming Xin’s eyes sparkled. Holding two skewers of grilled squid in her hands, she pointed at the stinky tofu and said, “Boss, give me a portion of stinky tofu. Add more chili pepper.”

“Alright.”

Ming Xin took a bite of grilled squid, its fragrance lingering in her mouth.

“I would never dare to eat this before. Finally, I can indulge.”

Liang Yanran had a propensity to gain weight. Ever since becoming an actress, she had maintained her figure by going without carbohydrates for ten years, even counting individual grains of rice during meals.

Deprivation of taste, coupled with various pressures, had led her to suffer from depression.

Ming Xin had a low body fat percentage and an extremely healthy and young body, with excellent metabolism, so she wouldn’t gain weight no matter how much she ate.

However, just in case, she had stopped consuming carbs half a month beforehand. What had supported her determination was her unrestrained appetite on this night.

Grilled skewers, stinky tofu, hot and sour noodles, fruit platter… She could now taste all the snacks that she’d once dared not even think about.

Happiness was beyond her words.

Ming Jing smiled and shook her head, taking out a tissue to gently wipe the oil stains from the corners of Ming Xin’s mouth.

Ming Xin licked her lips and squinted her eyes with a smile.

Quickly, the vendor prepared the stinky tofu. Ming Xin picked one up with a toothpick and handed it to Ming Jing’s mouth.

“Junior, you try it. It’s just tofu; it won’t break your vow of celibacy. Even though we don’t eat non-vegetarian food, we can make an exception, right?”

Ming Jing walked through the bustling crowds, her white dress untainted by worldly dust.

Her eyes held a sense of refined, calm composure, as if her inner beauty had washed away all the strife, resembling a peerless light that the darkest night couldn’t hide.

“One who does not eat non-vegetarian food can achieve purification. They can also break all evil deeds and practice various good deeds. Hence, they’re known as abstinent.”

To attain liberation, it was necessary to purify oneself from the desire for food.

Ming Xin stuffed the stinky tofu into her mouth. She was destined to be associated with Buddha, yet could never become one.
