    A girl in a school uniform walked in.


    Shengde High School’s uniform was very beautiful, which once aroused the envy and jealousy of the students from Yi High School and other nearby public high schools.<div>


    The top was a white shirt with a red tie, a navy-blue fitted jacket, and a high-waisted dark gray pleated skirt. Knee-high socks outlined a pair of straight, slender legs, and she wore a pair of ck British-style leather shoes.


    The uniform was very well-designed and looked custom-made on Ming Jing, making her look even more stunning and eye-catching than the beautiful girls in theics.


    Her ck hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, and her skin was as white as the finest mutton-fat jade, without a single blemish. Her lips were red, her teeth white, and her eyes as clear as spring water, seemingly capable of washing away all the filth of the world.


    Ming Jing walked in with her backpack, her pace unhurried and her movements graceful and elegant. Her calm demeanor made it easy to overlook her age.


    This was his biological daughter, Zhu Mingjing.


    He looked at Zhu Xiangxiang beside him, then back at Ming Jing.


    Upon seeing his daughter, he couldn’t help butment that he had mistaken pearls for fish eyes before.


    He knew how chaotic thepany had been before, and he had paid a heavy price for his arrogance.


    In the time he was in prison, Ming Jing swiftly cut through the weeds, eliminating all the parasites and his confidants, nted her people in thepany, appeased the stockholders and property owners who were causing trouble, and stabilized the public sentiment through external coborations with The Yes and Shenzhou Group. It was hard to believe that all of this was done by a sixteen-year-old girl.


    After this battle, his reputation was greatly damaged, with no ce for him in Zhu Group and the board of directors.


    Zhu Wentao watched the girl walk in, remembering the day she first returned to the Zhus a few months ago.<div>


    She had been quiet and unassuming, with immense inner strength, capable of both making cloud and rain at will.


    Zhu Wentao would never underestimate this daughter again.


    He thought of Shen Zhou and realized why he was able to gain Shen Zhou’s favor. Their working styles were very simr.


    When Ming Jing saw Zhu Wentao, she only nced at him briefly and then lowered her eyes.


    Zhu Xiangxiang’s reaction was a normal one for someone who hadn’t seen their father in a long time.


    Zhu Wentao suppressed the gloom in his eyes and asked, “Are you off school?”


    He was trying to care for his daughter and learn to be a loving father.


    “Mmm.” Ming Jing walked to Granny Zhu and adjusted the nket on herp.


    Granny Zhu held Ming Jing’s hand, nced at Zhu Wentao, sighed, and said, “Ming Jing, your father knows his mistakes. Let hime back.”


    Ming Jing smiled and nodded: “Alright.”


    Granny Zhu red at Zhu Wentao: “From now on, you better behave and don’t do anything to betray Lin Qing and the children. You’re not young anymore. If you don’t care about your reputation, I do.”<div>


    Zhu Wentao hung his head like a child who had made a mistake and did not argue.


    “Dad, will you and mom remarry?” Zhu Xiangxiang asked.


    Lin Qing’s face stiffened, and she said coldly, “Madam Zhou, tidy up the study. From now on, he will live in the study.”


    Ming Jing pushed Granny Zhu’s wheelchair back to her room. Granny Zhu patted Ming Jing’s hand: “Ming Jing, will you me Granny?”


    Ming Jing shook her head, “He is your son. Anyone can abandon him, but you won’t.”


    “You are indeed a good child, and they are not fortunate enough to deserve to be your parents. Granny truly doesn’t know what to do anymore. Let’s just leave it like this for now and see how he behaves in the future.”


    Granny Zhu also felt helpless. She loved both her son and Ming Jing.


    “Alright, don’t worry too much. Children have their own fortunes, and you have fulfilled your responsibilities and obligations. Now is the time for you to enjoy your old age.”


    “I hope so.” Granny Zhu had an uneasy feeling deep within her heart, as if something bad was about to happen.


    Granny Zhu suddenly grabbed Ming Jing’s hand, “Ming Jing, the Zhu family will always be your home, right?”


    Ming Jing smiled and nodded: “Of course, I will guard it forever.”<div>


    She had promised someone that she would protect this home forever.


    The towering Zhu Group building stood in the center of the CBD.


    Zhu Wentao took two days off at home and finally stepped into the Zhu Group building on this day.


    The receptionist at the front desk stared at him in shock, “Mr. Zhu… Mr. Zhu?”


    There had been rumors in thepany that Zhu Wentao had been released, she never thought that they were actually true.


    Zhu Wentao nodded and took the express elevator to the top floor.


    As soon as he left, the two girls at the front desk quietly began gossiping.


    “Is Mr. Zhu going to start a power struggle? Just like in those TV dramas, with father and daughter fighting against each other?”
