From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

Chapter 483: 226 Moonlight (tenth watch)

The group of people headed toward the dining hall, which was so packed at the moment that Liu Muxue grimaced with disgust the moment she stepped inside.

But she hadn’t had breakfast, and now she was so hungry her stomach was practically hitting her back, so she paid no heed to the crowd and forced her way through with Ming Jing.

When she tried to skip the line, Ming Jing pulled her to the back, forcing her to queue properly.

Liu Muxue grumbled audibly, “I’m starving to death.”

“That doesn’t give you the right to cut in line,” Ming Jing corrected her gently.

Liu Muxue took a deep breath, I will endure it.

She was a stranger in Jingzhou, knowing only Ming Jing. For now, she would tolerate her, certainly not out of fear.

As soon as the few of them fetched their meals and were about to leave, a quarrel broke out in the neighboring queue.

It turns out that two foreigners had a conflict with a male student, almost coming to blows. At this moment, Bo Lianye stepped in and communicated with the foreigners in fluent British english, quickly defusing the situation, and both sides shook hands and made peace.

With this move, Bo Lianye once again won everyone’s unanimous approval.

Liu Muxue rolled her eyes, “What a show-off.”

Looking at Ming Jing, she added, “But your ‘performance’ still beats hers by a long shot.”

Ming Jing shook her head with a smile and left with Liu Muxue and Xie Zhen, who were carrying trays of food.

Seeing Ming Jing’s departing figure, Bo Lianye paused momentarily.

“Leaf, what are you dazing about? Come and eat,” Su Wen called from behind the dining table.

Bo Lianye pursed her lips and walked over.

“Didn’t you notice the admiring gazes from the surrounding boys? Haha, compared to that so-called ‘national goddess’ who made her fame through internet campaigning, you’re the real deal, and we don’t care for empty titles like that.”

Bo Lianye ignored her, appearing rather distracted.

“Leaf, what’s wrong?”

Bo Lianye pulled herself together and said with a smile, “My aunt’s birthday is coming up, I’m thinking about what birthday gift to give her.”

As soon as Bo Lianye’s aunt was mentioned, Su Wen’s face filled with envy, “Your aunt’s life is so good. She’s married to the dream man of every girl in Jingzhou! If your aunt’s having a birthday, then Uncle Bo must be having one too, he should be coming back from abroad soon, right? Your place is going to be real lively.”

Uncle Bo and Aunt Bo are twins, so if it’s Aunt Bo’s birthday, naturally it’s Uncle Bo’s birthday too.

Speaking of Leaf’s aunt, her life story was absolutely extraordinary, even stranger than a novel. But at least now, she’s had her share of ups and downs.

Mentioning Uncle Bo, Bo Lianye’s smile broadened, “Yes, Uncle Bo called me yesterday, he’ll be back next week. I’ve been missing him a lot since he’s been away.”

“Of course, Uncle Bo spoils you so much, more than even your own father, we all know. We used to dream of having an uncle like him. By the way, does Uncle Bo have a girlfriend?” Su Wen’s eyes were darting around.

Bo Lianye shook her head, “I don’t know…”

“What do you think about my second sister? She’s a top talent from Jingzhou University, beautiful and intellectual.”

Bo Lianye shot her a look, “Then you’d outrank me by a whole generation! That’s not happening. Besides, my uncle is a playboy, nobody in our family can control him. When grandma set him up for a blind date once, he just up and left the country for several years! We wouldn’t dare to meddle in his love life anymore.”

Su Wen sighed. What kind of woman did Uncle Bo like? As long as he didn’t settle down, the hearts of the fine young ladies throughout Jingzhou would be forever hung on him.

Bo Lianye glanced toward the distance, where a young girl sat among her classmates. Her gentleness was engraved in her bones, and her every frown, smile, gesture, and movement were incredibly beautiful and moving.

Quietly, she had become the focus of the entire scene.

Bo Lianye pursed her lips and lowered her head to scoop at the rice and dishes on her plate, eating without tasting.

“Xie Zhen, who do you think is prettier, me or Ming Jing?” Liu Muxue turned to Xie Zhen, posing a perplexing question.

Xie Zhen’s heart gave a lurch, on the verge of tears.

Liu Muxue scoffed coldly, her eyes forcefully staring at him.

Mustering courage, Xie Zhen stammered, “You… you are the most beautiful in the world, no one can compare to you.”

Of course, in her heart, Ming Jing was the fairest of them all, not just in looks, but also in kindness, something Liu Muxue could never match. But to save her skin, she could only whisper such thoughts to herself.

Liu Muxue broke into a smug smile, but noticing Ming Jing’s expressionless face, which made her feel like a preening fool, her face darkened a few shades.
