Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 323 - Chapter 323 Chapter 322 The Origins of Ming Yao

Chapter 323: Chapter 322: The Origins of Ming Yao Chapter 323: Chapter 322: The Origins of Ming Yao Before, whenever there were gatherings, they would have Ying Feifei get in touch with Ming Wan.

Ming Wan, after all, was a celebrity. Though not a megastar, she did have a modest following.

Plus, as the most favored daughter of the Ming Family, they all felt it was particularly prestigious for her to attend.

In the past, whenever Ming Wan showed up, everyone would swarm around her, warmly welcoming her.

But this time, when Ming Wan pushed open the private room door and walked in, everyone continued with their own entertainment, no one paying her any attention.

Even Ying Feifei was intimately linking arms with another girl and singing, ignoring Ming Wan’s presence as if she were invisible.

Ming Wan instantaneously felt the chill of human relationships.

She couldn’t stand such a contrast, feeling unbearably upset!

She took a deep breath and walked over to Ying Feifei.

“Feifei, come out with me, I have something to say to you.”

Ying Feifei glanced at Ming Wan, her eyes lacking the usual caution, and spoke with a hint of contempt, “What’s the matter? Just say it here!”

Ming Wan looked around and, seeing that no one was paying attention, said, “Could you pay me back one or two million?”

Upon hearing this, Ying Feifei suddenly picked up the microphone and laughed sarcastically, “Ming Wan, you must be joking, right?”

With the microphone in hand, Ying Feifei’s voice instantly filled the entire private room.

Before Ming Wan could say anything, Ying Feifei mocked her once more, “Ming Wan, I have never heard of asking for a gift back. The gift was something you gave willingly, not something I forced you to give!”

Ying Feifei looked around at the others in the private room. “Do you ask for gifts back after a while? Ming Wan, you must be going crazy with poverty, huh?”

“Oh, right, your mom was arrested, and I heard your real dad got arrested too. My god, you’ve become a down-and-out heiress overnight, no, no, that’s not right. You were never a real heiress, you’re just a home-grown bumpkin, aren’t you?”

“No wonder you never had the grace of Ming Yao, turns out it’s a genetic issue. Things ingrained in your bones can’t be changed, which is evident from you coming over to ask me for this one or two hundred million!”

At Ying Feifei’s words, the private room erupted with intermittent laughter.

Ming Wan’s face turned from green to purple.

Those words felt like countless slaps violently striking her face.

Burning with pain!

Ming Wan looked incredulously at Ying Feifei. When they were close enough to wear the same dress, she didn’t speak like this.

She had said that having such a great best friend was a blessing from her past life, and that they would face hardships and share joys together.

But now–

Now she was just asking for a portion of her own money back, and she was publicly humiliating her in front of everyone?

Tears of distress welled up in Ming Wan’s eyes.

“Feifei, you said we were the best of friends…”

Ying Feifei interrupted Ming Wan impatiently before she could finish, “The premise was that you were Miss Ming, the Mistress of Ming Family. Now, you’re a criminal’s daughter. What right do you have to be my best friend?”

Ying Feifei was merciless in her words, looking at Ming Wan’s tear-streaked face, “But your face is still decent. Some young master here might like your style. Why don’t you see if they’ll take you? You might be worth a couple hundred thousand.”

The girl next to Ying Feifei laughed with disdain, “Feifei, second-hand goods like her worth a couple hundred thousand? Maybe one hundred yuan is more like it!”

Ming Wan had never faced such humiliation. She was so furious she tried to slap the girl in the face.

The girl had trained in Taekwondo and kicked Ming Wan away with one swift move.

“Look at your current status, and you dare to lay a hand on me? Get lost!”

Ming Wan fell to the ground, her dress rolling up and exposing her thighs.

The young masters in the private room whistled one after another.

One of the young masters walked over and helped Ming Wan up.

Ming Wan glanced over and saw a Young Master who had once taken a liking to her.

“Wanwan, are you alright?”

Ming Wan’s long lashes trembled, “Thank you, I’m fine.”

The Young Master looked around the private room, “How could you all kick someone when they’re down? Ming Wan is so beautiful; she’s definitely worth more than one hundred yuan, at least two hundred yuan to start!”

Ming Wan had just thought the Young Master was a good person, but to her surprise, he humiliated her like this.

He lifted her chin, his smile malicious, “Ming Wan, when I first took a liking to you, you called me a toad. Why don’t you kneel down and beg me, this toad, and I’ll give you one million? How about it?”

Ming Wan had never been humiliated like this before.

Tears streaming down her face, she ran out of the private room.

She took a taxi to Ming Corporation.

She knew she couldn’t enter through the main entrance, so she went to the back door and quietly made her way to the top floor.

Zhong Ling saw Ming Wan suddenly arrive and frowned, “What are you doing here?”

Ming Wan felt indignant and humiliated. Now even a mere assistant could swagger in front of her?

“I’m looking for Ming Yao!”

“Do you have an appointment?”

Ming Wan gritted her teeth, ignoring Zhong Ling and attempting to force her way through, “Ming Yao, do you dare to come out and see me?”

Zhong Ling wanted to call security up, but Ming Yao, hearing the noise, came out of the office.

Ming Yao was wearing a white chiffon blouse with a black A-line skirt, looking cool and beautiful.

It was a stark contrast to her current disheveled state.

Ming Wan felt jealousy and anger.

Ming Yao had never been better than her before, but somehow, Ming Yao had started to outperform exceptionally.

Facing gods, she would slay gods, facing Buddha, she would slay Buddha!

Ming Yao raised her hand, signaling Zhong Ling to let Ming Wan in.

Ming Wan entered the chairman’s office.

Ming Yao sat on the leather chair, looking at Ming Wan with a cold expression, “What, your parents went to prison, and you want to join them for a reunion?”

Ming Wan clenched her fists tightly, her face twisted with fury as she glared at Ming Yao, “You think you’re so noble? Yes, my parents are in prison, but do you know who you really are?”

“Your birth father is unknown, your mother died in a brothel. Why do you think Old Madam Ming let you be raised under Ming Guoan’s name? It’s because your background is filthy, your mother was ashamed to be seen!”

“Fourth Master Gu didn’t even attend Old Madam Ming’s birthday banquet. He must know about your background, he won’t want you anymore. If I’m not having a good time, do you think you will? Once your mother’s affairs are exposed, your life will be even worse than mine! ”

Upon hearing Ming Wan’s words, Ming Yao’s slender eyebrows slightly knitted together.

Her cold and charming face showed no sign of emotional change. She watched the frantic Ming Wan and slightly curved her lips, “Ming Wan, no matter how bad I have it, I still have the Ming Family, what do you have?”

That statement deflated Ming Wan like a punctured ball.

Tears kept rolling down.

“Ming Yao, I hate you!”

Ming Yao remained indifferent, “You’re not the only one who hates me. Zhong Ling, show the guest out!”

After Ming Wan left, Ming Yao drove back to the Ming Residence.

Old Madam Ming was getting ready to rest. Seeing Ming Yao enter with a knock, a smile appeared on her face, “Yao girl, finishing work so late?”

“Grandma, can you tell me about my background?”
