Chapter 343: 157 Detonation (First Update)

Translator: 549690339

At eight o’clock this evening, the second episode of “Three Meals a Day” is about to be broadcast.

Each group of guests is split over two episodes. The last one ended with Ming Jing waking up at five in the morning on the second day, then going out. The editing crew was quite mischievous, having just shown Ming Jing leaving, then someone else coming down the stairs, focusing only on a close-up of a shoe. After that, the camera pans to the shocked pupils of a night-shift worker.

The show abruptly ends there.

This cliffhanger has everyone hooked, itching to know who the last person to appear was.

Even though the fans guessed that it was Qu Feitai, that hadn’t stopped any of them from fighting back over the course of the week. Just like they previously treated actresses and internet celebrities who tried to latch onto Qu Feitai’s fame, they first sought out damaging information and then employed a swarm attack strategy of overwhelming criticism until the accused came out to apologize. However, this strategy didn’t work this time.

It had been a long time since an incomparably beautiful woman had appeared in the entertainment industry. The previous generation of beauties were now just a memory. The current beauties on TV were indeed beautiful but lacked depth. Even Luo Ziyin, who was given the title of the most beautiful woman in the entertainment industry, was deeply entangled in plastic surgery rumors. At recent events, her face was so frozen from all the botox it was hard to watch. All pretense of natural beauty had been stripped away.

As for Zhao Ninghan, Liang Yanran and the like, they either were too radiant and lacked subtlety, or were too innocent, which sometimes resulted in dull expressions. Either they had obvious signs of plastic surgery, or their beautiful looks were void of any substantive thoughts—a good for nothing pretty face. It was almost impossible to find a universally acclaimed stunning beauty in the modern entertainment industry.

Then Ming Jing came along, a pleasant surprise that brought a glimmer of hope to viewers.

Although she was quite young with a face that was still yet to mature, her cultured and composed way of speaking, her graceful demeanor, her calmness in doing everything, her untainted innocence… made the thickly made-up, showy actresses of the entertainment industry look insignificant.

There are many beautiful women, but she is one of a kind, irreplaceable.

Initially, there were some heartless trolls who tried to slander her, some fanatics who went out of their way to criticize her, but all that negativity was washed away by the overwhelming amount of praise.

The second episode is about to be aired tonight. After the successful broadcast of the first episode, the second episode is already trending, even before its airing.

Viewers have eagerly settled in front of their TVs and computer screens.

Granny Zhu, Madam Zhou, Zhou Bao, along with Ming Ti and Ming Chen, all sat quietly on the sofa, with tea and snacks ready. When the clock pointed to 7:55, Granny Zhu asked, “Where’s Lin Qing? What is she doing?”

Madam Zhou glanced upstairs, “Madam has not been well recently, she might have gone to sleep.”

“Just when everything was finally calm, what is she up to now?” Granny Zhu said discontentedly.

“Madam, it’s hard to say with these things. You better not get involved. Madam tends to overthink, she’ll figure it out on her own.”

“People who tend to overthink just go deeper into it the more they think. They need to be pulled out of it, or else there will be no peace,” Granny Zhu insisted.

Granny Zhu then asked, “Where’s Ming Jing?”

While licking a lollipop, the ever-sweet Ming Chen said, “Sis Ming Jing is going to the Olympiad Training Camp tomorrow, she’s solving problems.”

Granny Zhu sighed, “Such a good girl, what more can we demand? You can’t have your cake and eat it too, why doesn’t she understand that?”

All Madam Zhou could do was join in the sighing.

Lin Qing wanted a loving daughter but thought little lady was cold-hearted. This so wronged the little girl.

There wasn’t any girl in this world who was kinder and had a better heart than the little lady.

Little lady didn’t concern herself with small love affairs, but rather, she was full of universal love.

At first, Lin Qing was rude towards the little lady and preferred the adopted daughter, Zhu Xiangxiang. Yet the little lady bore no grudge and treated Zhu Xiangxiang just as she always had, never giving Zhu Xiangxiang a hard time. With such a good daughter, what more could Lin Qing be hoping for?

People are often surrounded by happiness but fail to realize it until it’s too late.

Granny Zhu squinted at the clock, and just before the final two minutes before the show began, she suddenly remembered what Ming Jing had said to Lin Qing at noon.

There was more to her words than met the eye.

Ming Jing’s words were never wasted, there must have been another hidden meaning.

“It’s starting, it’s starting, Sis Jing is going to show up,” Ming Chen exclaimed cheerfully, clapping his little hands.

The opening credits passed, and the episode began.

Picking up where the last episode left off, Ming Jing woke up at five in the morning, and left the house under a drizzly rain, alone with her umbrella.
