Chapter 133: Chapter 133: Sorry, You’ve All Been Proven Wrong (Added Chapter)
Xiao Yichen lowered his voice and began, “Mom, why do you say such things?”
“What I am saying is all true. In what way does she compare to Wanwan? Participating in the competition will just bring shame to the Ming Family. Later, when we become in-laws with the Ming Family, if they lose face, won’t our Xiao Family lose face as well?”
Ming Wan tugged at Madam Xiao’s sleeve, feigning innocence, “Aunt Xiao, don’t speak ill of my sister. If Fourth Master hears about this…”
Madam Xiao scoffed, “If this esteemed Fourth Master cared about her, would he have let her come here in a taxi?”
Ming Yao, “…”
That morning, Gu Siting had instructed Steward Zhong to drive her, but the cheapest car in his garage also cost over ten million.
She didn’t want to cause a sensation; that’s why she chose to take a taxi, okay?
In their eyes, did she become a neglected and divorced woman?
“Moreover, have you seen any rings on her fingers? With Fourth Master’s wealth, if he cared about her, would he not even buy her a ring?”
Ming Yao glanced down at her bare, slender fingers.
Indeed, there was no ring.
But she didn’t covet one anyway!
Wearing a ring and becoming a wealthy lady, how then could she go out and meet handsome young men?

Ming Yao chuckled softly to herself, too lazy to argue with them. She stepped lively, heading toward the campus.
The ignored group, “…”
Seeing this, Madam Xiao was livid, “Such uncultured, ill-mannered trash!”
Ming Wan consoled Madam Xiao, “Aunt Xiao, you can’t really blame my sister. She grew up in the countryside and never received a proper education. My parents feel guilty about it, but my sister doesn’t get along with them and often angers them!”
Madam Xiao’s impression of Ming Yao worsened.
Not only did she lack manners, but she couldn’t even manage her relationship with her own parents. Such a person was nothing but trash!
Madam Xiao glanced at Xiao Yichen, “From now on, whenever we see her, we’ll take a detour!”
…
Ming Yao arrived at the competition venue.
Old Madam Ming spotted her at once.
“Yao girl.”
Ming Yao approached Old Madam Ming, smiling as she took her hand, “Grandma.”
“Yao girl, do your best in the competition. Grandma believes in you.”
Ming Guoan, seeing Ming Yao approaching without calling him and Jiang Biyun, couldn’t help but snort, “Are you blind? Can’t you see your father and mother?”
Ming Yao glanced sideways at Ming Guoan and Jiang Biyun, “I was afraid that calling you would shorten your lives, after all, in your eyes, there’s only Ming Wan, and not a daughter like me, right?”
Ming Guoan and Jiang Biyun’s expressions turned ugly.
“If you were more promising and didn’t bring disgrace to the Ming Family, wouldn’t we treat you well?” Ming Guoan snorted coldly.
Jiang Biyun pointed at the judges in front and the well-known domestic designers, “I advise you to withdraw from the finals. You were lucky to get through the preliminary round, but the finals are judged by those with real authority. Do you think with your subpar skills, you can achieve a good ranking?”
“Don’t finish last and disgrace the Ming Family. Also, although Fourth Master’s Company will send someone, he surely won’t break the rules to let you win the championship just for you! If you end up last, it won’t only bring shame to the Ming Family but also to Fourth Master!”
Old Madam Ming couldn’t bear to listen anymore, she glared at Jiang Biyun, “Shut your mouth!”
Jiang Biyun looked aggrieved, “Mom, I’m telling the truth. I’ve even called Ming Yao’s instructor before. She doesn’t even hand in her assignments usually, and both her general education and professional skills are very poor!”
Ming Yao was truly fed up with Jiang Biyun.
Wasn’t it she who had signed her up for this competition?
Didn’t she want to see her make a fool of herself on stage?
And now she had the nerve to say such humiliating and hurtful things to her!
Ming Yao glanced at a few gentlemen by Ming Guoan’s side who were staring at her, and suddenly she understood something.
So, they had brought shareholders of the Ming Corporation here to belittle her in front of them and then, after she lost to Ming Wan in the competition, to completely crush her, right?
Ming Yao had never seen such biased parents before.
“Yao girl, do you have a family seat ticket? I’m here to cheer you on!” Old Madam Ming spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Ming Guoan and Jiang Biyun’s faces changed simultaneously.
“Mom, Ming Yao’s performance at school has always been poor. How could she get a family seat ticket from the school? Even if she got one, it would be in a terrible location!” Ming Guoan said.
Jiang Biyun nodded, “Right, Mom, at your age, your vision isn’t what it was, it would be better for you to sit at the front!”
At this point, Ming Wan came over, and upon hearing Old Madam Ming’s words, she felt a surge of resentment.
The damn old woman, although she was also her granddaughter, she had always favored Ming Yao.
Despite her being superior to Ming Yao in every way and even getting the best seat arranged for her!
“Grandma, you can just sit here and cheer for sister too. After all, you won’t be able to see the competition clearly from the back,” Ming Wan said with a magnanimous and considerate look, then she turned to Ming Yao, “Sister, you wouldn’t mind Grandma sitting here, right? After all, this is the best viewing spot in the house!”
Ming Yao scoffed softly, took Old Madam Ming’s hand, “Grandma, it’s okay if you don’t want to sit here.”
Upon hearing this, Ming Wan’s brows furrowed tightly, “Sister, how can you be so thoughtless? Grandma is old. What does it say about us if she is seated at the very back? If word gets out, people will think the Ming family has no status; they will laugh at us!”
Ming Guoan and Jiang Biyun nodded, “Ming Yao, don’t be so selfish! The Old Madam isn’t just your grandma, she is Wanwan’s too. Letting the Old Madam sit in the best position is the true skill, the true filial piety! Having the Old Madam sit at the back, have you no conscience?”
Old Madam Ming couldn’t bear to watch them attack Ming Yao any longer. She stood up, “Even if it’s at the back, I am willing. You all shut up!”
Old Madam Ming, looking at Ming Yao with sympathy, held her hand tightly, “Yao girl, let’s go!”
Ming Yao felt the warmth of the Old Madam’s affection for her flooding her heart.
She led the Old Madam forward.
Ming Wan wanted to say something more, but Jiang Biyun pulled her back, “The Old Madam is stubborn. You won’t be able to stop her!”
“Mom, Grandma will really suffer if she sits at the back, the heating isn’t as good as it is at the front.”
Ming Guoan, seeing Ming Wan’s filial piety, always considering the Old Madam, felt incredibly comforted. In contrast, Ming Yao, for the sake of her own face, allowed the Old Madam to suffer at the back, such an unfilial creature!
Ming Guoan’s face darkened as he said, “I’ll ask the Old Madam to come over later—”
But before he could finish his sentence, they all saw that Ming Yao did not take the Old Madam to the back row seats but to the VVIP area instead.
Ming Guoan, Jiang Biyun, and Ming Wan all widened their eyes, incredulous.
“Did sister take Grandma to the wrong place?” Ming Wan, her brows knitted with worry, said, “They won’t get kicked out, will they?”
Just as Ming Guoan was about to rise and stop Ming Yao, he saw her hand a ticket to the staff member.
After a glance, the staff let them through!
!!!
The Ming family members were collectively dumbstruck!
