Chapter 642: Chapter 629: My Daughter Is a Vicious Supporting Female Character 29
"Jingjingâs move this time is wickedly clever."
"I salute Jingjingâs awesomeness."
"Even the Old Madam has to bow down to you; thereâs no bigger slap in the face than this. I say your painting is fake, why? Because the real one is in my house, haha..."
"I just wanna ask, does Zou Xuexuanâs face hurt?"
"I study history, and what Jingjing said is true. Historical documents do indeed record that after Yin Song painted the Moonlit Night Painting, he gave it to his good friend Sheng Lai."
"Jingjing said Sheng Lai is her ancestor. I looked into Sheng Laiâs background and was shocked. Speaking of which, Jingjingâs heritage... could she really be a descendant of the Sheng Family?"
"The Sheng Family? Without looking you wouldnât know, once you do, itâs quite shocking. The Sheng Family has produced many notable people since ancient times, and it seems like the recent Sheng Wenhan also has the surname Sheng."
Under Sheng Jingjingâs Weibo post, thereâs a whole string of comments, and the topic got derailed to who knows where by the end. Anyway, her fans are all very happy, laughing and joking all the way.
Zou Xuexuanâs mood, however, is not so wonderful.
Zou Xuexuan glared at the Moonlit Night Painting with fury: "This thing is actually fake, mom, you actually got me a fake painting..."
Liu Yue Mei was also quite anxious: "Thatâs impossible, this was given to me by your grandfather, your grandfather couldnât have made a mistake, it has been authenticated by professionals."
"Then why is Sheng Jingjing so sure itâs fake and even claims the real one is in her house? What kind of nonsense is she talking about?"
Zou Xuexuan has already lost face big time and is almost losing her reason out of anger.
"We will get someone to authenticate it."
Liu Yue Mei picked up the painting and was about to head out.
But Zou Xuexuan didnât want her to embarrass herself further: "No need, even Yue Haichang said itâs fake, who else could say itâs real?"
Liu Yue Mei felt deflated and after sitting down, she gritted her teeth with hatred: "Damn it, theyâre obviously doing it on purpose."
On Sheng Jingjingâs end, she was discussing with Anning about being gifted shops and companies.
"I understand why Uncle Xiao gave me clothes now, it was out of respect for my mother, to support me. But what about the other two?"
Sheng Jingjing looked at Anning and asked: "At that time, several lawyers kept whispering this and that into my ears, they really have a way with words. I was so overwhelmed that I signed without fully understanding. Now the more I think about it, the more it feels wrong. Mom, if itâs not okay, could you help me think of a way to return it to them?"
Anning patted Sheng Jingjingâs hand and laughed: "Donât worry about it, just accept them. Theyâre gifts from them."
"What people?"
Sheng Jingjing grew even more curious; she hadnât even met them and they were already giving gifts. That was quite extravagant.
"Your uncle."
Anning said with a smile.
"What?"
Sheng Jingjingâs eyes widened in surprise: "Didnât you say it was just the two of us left in the Sheng Family?"
Anning tapped Sheng Jingjingâs forehead: "They donât carry the Sheng surname. They were children adopted by your great-grandfather and grew up with me. Itâs just that we separated due to some misunderstandings. They must have heard our news and came back. Theyâre all family, they wonât harm you. If they give it to you, just keep it. They can afford it."
Only after Anning said it was fine did Sheng Jingjing really relax.
Then, she seemed especially happy: "I just realized Iâve suddenly become wealthy, Iâve become a billionaire..."
Anning couldnât help but laugh and cry: "Wasnât what I gave you enough, donât you have any idea how much this mansion alone is worth? Alright, letâs not talk about this, letâs focus on preparing for the show."
In a few days, they would have to start filming the show again, and it was still uncertain where they would go this time. Anning and Sheng Jingjing needed to prepare carefully.
"Wasnât it said we were going abroad this time?"
Sheng Jingjing asked.
Anning shook her head: "I probably wonât go. The country that was originally planned is a bit chaotic now, and the program team wants stability. I doubt we will be going abroad for a while. My guess is that this episode of the program will be filmed in some city. Iâm not quite sure what weâll have to do there yet."
Sheng Jingjing couldnât think of where it might be and soon gave up trying to guess.
She insisted on Anning teaching her how to sing.
So Anning taught Sheng Jingjing some cultivation methods, telling her to cultivate her Spiritual Power first before teaching her to sing.
"The technique I use for singing was learned from mermaids and sea demons. If you want to learn it, youâll need to cultivate your Spiritual Power first. With Spiritual Power, you can sing songs that truly move peopleâs hearts. Remember, mermaidsâ songs are especially bewitching."
Sheng Jingjing was dumbfounded: "No way, Mom, are you just making this up? Mermaids donât exist."
Anning patted her head: "Silly child, thereâs so much you donât know about this world."
She then told Sheng Jingjing, "Once this episode is finished filming, Iâll take you somewhere."
She had made it a condition when she handed over the Array that she would be allowed to take someone with her to learn, and at that time, she had already decided to bring Sheng Jingjing.
Sheng Jingjing asked Anning where she planned to take her, but Anning didnât tell her.
Feeling dejected, Sheng Jingjing found herself unable to figure it out.
She has always considered herself a rather clever person, but in front of Anning, she felt quite dull.
Sheng Jingjing wondered if it was because of Zou Huai Deâs genes, possibly dragging down the intelligence level of the Sheng Family.
Zou Huai De has been quite busy lately.
He had partnered with others to buy a piece of land to develop a vacation resort.
The land was vast; developing it would require a substantial sum of money, but if successful, the profits wouldnât be small.
Thatâs what Zou Huai De was engrossed in lately.
He had originally planned to get the Xiao Family involved as partners, and Xiao Kai had previously agreed.
He thought since Xiao Kaiâs brother was disabled, the Xiao Family Enterprises would eventually be Xiao Kaiâs, so he was particularly confident in Xiao Kaiâs promise.
But then, Xiao Yuan unexpectedly stood up.
Having controlled Xiao Family Enterprises for many years, if Xiao Yuan had remained disabled, Xiao Kai would have had a chance to take over. But now that Xiao Yuan had recovered, Xiao Kaiâs chances were slim.
Meanwhile, Zou Huai De had approached Xiao Yuan, hoping to have Xiao Family Enterprises invest in the vacation resort development.
But Xiao Yuan firmly refused, not even willing to listen to the benefits of the resort development, instructing his secretary to show Zou Huai De out.
Fuming, Zou Huai De called to complain to Xiao Kai.
Xiao Kai was also annoyed.
He had gone out with friends the day before, and they had ridiculed him, saying he wasnât treating his girlfriend well. Sheâd been showing off a forged painting, and it had been publicly spotted, which was hugely embarrassing for him.
This made Xiao Kai lose face significantly.
He was actually a bit upset with Zou Xuexuan.
"Why would you show off something like that when youâre not a collector nor knowledgeable about antiques and calligraphy? Are sports cars not fun to drive, or do you not have enough designer bags? Showing off any of those would be fine," he thought.
His anger hadnât subsided when Xiao Kai received a phone call from Zou Huai De.
Zou Huai De started to vent to him right away.
Xiao Kai was seething: "Uncle Zou, as you know, I usually donât get involved with the family business. My brotherâs been managing the company all these years, and there hasnât been a single mistake. He doesnât speak highly of that project, so it might not be as promising as Uncle Zou thinks. Iâd advise you to be a bit more cautious."
