From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

“What conditions?”

“They want Ms. Ming Jing to be the honorary president of the horse club.”

Without Ming Jing, there would be no horse club now. The government appreciated Ming Jing’s publicity effect and her influence among the public, intending to make her the face of the horse club and even the entire Jiangzhou.

But having a teenage girl as the president seemed to steal the limelight from the people behind the scenes. Apparently, this was an attempt to suppress Ran Tengxiao, and Ming Jing was perfectly used as a tool.

This was also a test.

The manager dared not even breathe, waiting cautiously.

Ran Tengxiao hooked his lips and his gaze fell on the racecourse. Young girls dressed in colorful riding outfits and various hairstyles turned the racecourse into a showground, not knowing whether it was interesting or absurd.

Only a tall figure dressed in black riding gear was the most eye-catching. On her, there was never any other color but black and white, an eternal abstinence of coldness, like the moonlight flowing in the dark night.

Her snow-white skin seemed like snow that would not melt under the scorching sun.

“Go and invite Ms. Ming Jing and say…”.

The man stroked his chin and laughed, “The weather is hot, and I want to treat her to tea.”

Ye Shuang pouted, this excuse was a bit far-fetched. Although the sun was big, it couldn’t warm the winter sun.

Ye Shuang turned and left.

The manager wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued, “The location of the East Suburb Racecourse has been determined, but the land is a bit tricky. It was originally planned for The Hongs’ Real Estate to build a commercial center, but due to mismanagement, they went bankrupt and the land was repossessed by the bank for public auction. Suddenly, several companies sprung up to compete for the land, and it’s already exceeded the budget.”

It seemed those fighting for the land didn’t know who was behind the horse club. The mere mention of Master Xiao’s name would scare the shit out of them.

“You go check out those companies and who the bosses have met recently. Go find Lin Feng and have him help you.”

The manager complied and left.

Ran Tengxiao thought for a moment and made a call: “Is the land in the east suburb the one Jiang Heng and Ran Bowen fought over 17 years ago?”

The other party replied with a yes.

A sneer appeared on Ran Tengxiao’s lips: “I knew it.”

Seventeen years ago, this piece of land was a demolition area. Ran Bowen had his eyes on it and planned to forcefully tear it down. The people nearly hated him to death. Jiang Heng, who had just arrived, stood up to protect the people and confront Ran Bowen, which led to his own murder.

Later, after Ran Bowen’s death, the land fell into the hands of the Hong Group. Soon after, the Hong Group went bankrupt, and the land was seized and auctioned off by the bank. However, no one had bought it over the years. As soon as he showed interest, several companies popped up to bid. What a coincidence.

“I’m afraid she had a hand in the bankruptcy of the Hong Group back then.”

She had been lurking in Jiangzhou for more than a decade, planting undercover agents, stirring up internal strife, and taking advantage of the chaos to kill Ran Bowen, causing the Qinglong Association to lose their vitality for ten years. This Madam was not simple.

Underestimating your enemy would cost you your life, and Ran Bowen was the perfect example.

After hanging up the phone, he dialed Lin Feng’s number: “Take a few brothers to the eastern suburbs, there must be unexpected surprises in that piece of land.”

“Ms. Ming Jing, Master Xiao invites you, please come with me.”

Liu Muxue sitting on the horse looked at the woman in front of her and sneered, “Who is Master Xiao? He’s got so much face, he doesn’t even bother to invite her himself. And you… you should be a lackey, right? Can you hide the jealousy in your eyes? Do you think everyone is a fool?”

Ye Shuang’s face stiffened, and she glared at Liu Muxue with a cold warning in her eyes.

Liu Muxue pretended to be scared, “Oh, I’m so afraid. Ming Jing, when you go to see Master Xiao, you must complain about her. How dare a lackey threaten her master? Are they tired of living? Tell her master to teach her a lesson.”

Ye Shuang’s face became even uglier, and her fists clenched with a cracking sound.

She had never seen such an arrogant and poisonous-mouthed woman, where did this bitch come from?

Liu Muxue’s eyes were filled with a proud and arrogant smile, almost making Ye Shuang spit blood in anger.

Ming Jing helplessly said, “Just get down.”

“I won’t. I’m not done playing yet. You go see your Master Xiao, I’ve already learned how. You don’t need to worry about me.” With that, she pressed her horse’s belly, and the horse stepped forward a few paces.

Ming Jing called a coach to follow Liu Muxue and prepared to leave with Ye Shuang.

Zhu Xiangxiang recognized Ye Shuang and mistakenly grabbed the horse’s mane in excitement. The horse, in pain, raised its hoof and almost threw Zhu Xiangxiang off its back. The coach had to choose between saving a person or the horse, and the person was more important, so he caught the falling Zhu Xiangxiang. Both of them fell to the ground, and the horse rushed into the crowd.

Although the coach had acted as a cushion, Zhu Xiangxiang still felt dizzy from the fall.

“This is bad, the horse rushed out. Ms. Zhu, I specifically reminded you not to grab the horse’s mane. Also, the scent of your perfume is too strong; it can frighten the horse…”.The coach quickly said a few words and rushed out. The racecourse was in chaos because of an out-of-control horse. The security guards on the sidelines immediately blew their whistles to disperse the crowd.

Ming Jing looked back at the scene. When the frightened horse was about to pass her by, she suddenly took a running start and leaped onto the horse’s back and controlled it within moments.

This horse was naturally timid, not yet fully trained by the horse trainer. It was much easier to control than a born wild horse like Violent Wind.

Ye Shuang squinted her eyes, staring at the silhouette of Ming Jing sitting on the horseback. She suddenly thought of a mysterious person who saved Jiang Chunlan a few months ago, whom she couldn’t find after a long investigation.

Just now, her ability to leap through the air and accurately control her strength was far beyond what an ordinary person could achieve.

It was her!

Ming Jing handed the horse over to the horse trainer who rushed over, and the latter thanked her repeatedly.

As long as Ms. Ming Jing was there, everyone felt a sense of security.

“Ming Jing…” Zhu Xiangxiang limped over, her face pale and looking pitiful.

Ming Jing glanced at her, “Where did you fall?”

Zhu Xiangxiang sniffed and said with a little embarrassment, “My butt.”

“Let Zhu Shaodan take you to the hospital for an exam.”

“No… no need.” She answered a bit hastily, then softened her tone, “It’s okay, I’ll be fine after some rest. I don’t need to go to the hospital.”

“There is a medical room here, go and let the technician give you a massage.”

The racecourse had a medical room for emergencies, which could handle minor injuries.

“No need, Ming Jing. I don’t know anyone here. Can I stick with you?” Zhu Xiangxiang pleaded with a pitiful look, holding onto Ming Jing’s clothes.

She didn’t dare look into Ming Jing’s eyes, her greatest fear, but she knew that Ming Jing would agree.

As expected, Ming Jing said, “I’m going to meet someone.”

“That’s fine. I can wait for you at the door. I won’t cause you any trouble.”

Zhu Xiangxiang mustered up the courage to look up, her eyes full of expectation as she looked at Ming Jing, her heart pounding.

Ming Jing raised her eyebrows and said nothing, then turned around and walked away.

Zhu Xiangxiang hesitated for a moment before following her.

Ye Shuang looked disdainfully at Zhu Xiangxiang’s back, thinking that both sisters were trying to get close to Master Xiao, ignoring their own status.

Ming Jing walked up the stairs to the second floor, with Zhu Xiangxiang following closely behind. Zhu Xiangxiang wondered who Ming Jing was going to meet?

They arrived at a large door, and Ye Shuang knocked, “Master Xiao, she’s here.”

“Come in.”

Zhu Xiangxiang’s heart skipped a beat; it was Ran Tengxiao’s voice.

Ye Shuang opened the door, “Ms. Ming Jing, please.”

Ming Jing stepped in, and Zhu Xiangxiang subconsciously tried to follow, but Ye Shuang stopped her.

“Ms. Zhu, please stay here. Master Xiao only wants to see Ms. Ming Jing.”

After Ming Jing went in, Ye Shuang closed the door, and Zhu Xiangxiang was left embarrassed and frustrated.

She didn’t miss the ridicule in Ye Shuang’s eyes. She pursed her lips and carefully asked, “Sister Ye Shuang, did Master Xiao want something from Ming Jing?”

Ye Shuang gave her a glance and replied, “I dare not guess what’s on Master Xiao’s mind.”

Her eyes shifted playfully, and she said, “But what else could a man want from a woman?”

Zhu Xiangxiang bit her pale lips and sat down on a chair across the room.

Ye Shuang snorted and leaned against the wall with her arms crossed.

She recalled Ming Jing’s figure just now leaping onto the horse’s back and the mysterious figure several months ago overlapping in her mind.

She’s been hiding well.

Trying to get close to Master Xiao, like what happened with Yu Jiang years ago.

She would never allow such a thing to happen.
