Chapter 18: Golden Chance
"What did you talk about?" Shen Brother immediately asked as soon as he saw Ming Yue walk in with a carefree expression.
He really couldn't stand her, but he had also the will and knew how crucial it was to their family.
It mattered more to him about what she could do or would do that might harm the Shen Family.
Apparently, he had already formed and image in his mind that she was the one who would cause damage to the Shen Family's reputation.
It never occurred to him whether his act of losing his composure was an embarrassment or not.
Despite being displeased, his father also didn't stop him, eager to know what tricks this Ming Yue girl had up her sleeves.
Unfortunately, Ming Yue couldn't care less and simply rolled her eyes at the sight of Brother Shen's clenched fists and throbbing veins.
'Even an idiot would see his dislike and hatred for me,' she mentally noted before scoffing.
"Whatever I talk about is none of your buisness. And aren't you supposed to be working as the heir, or did you lose that too?'
"You!"
His anger was on the verge of exploding as Ming Yue was clearly implying with her eyes that she meant about losing Shen Pei'er.
It was a full-on taunt that he couldn't help but want to retort...
However, he barely restrained himself as Shen Pei'er patted his arm and whispered softly, "She's not worth it, brother."
Perhaps calmed by his sister, he just snorted and left, not wanting to argue with this tactless fool.
And Ming Yue actually found that better as it would save her the effort of making a fool see clearly.
Father Shen also walked off after a snide glance at Ming Yue, not wanting to get outtaken by the younger generation like his son.
Ahem, he still cared about his face, even in front of his family.
"You! You're really ill-bred!" Shen Mother finally got the chance to say after watching everyone leave.
But Ming Yue only uttered coldly, "You mean to say your husband is also ill-bred?"
Without waiting for any responses, she swiftly walked back to her small room, bored of the tirades.
She had better things to do, for god's sake.
In the end, only the fuming Mother Shen was left behind, who also decided to leave, but not before asking tbe housekeeper and servants to not cook lunch and go on leave for the rest of the day.
Since she knew their prior schedules, she decisively gave them a day off, hoping that this would serve a lesson to Ming Yue.
Poor woman forgot to consider Ming Yie was supposed to be an orphan.
So, how would someone who had to starve for days in their childhood care about missing a meal or two?
Naturally, Ming Yue was a spy mentally and her body was that of an orphan, causing the urge to eat and not needing to eat clash.
But that was for a later time as she was busy thinking over what was the best way to leave.
"If I get a job in another city, that would be quite great," Ming Yue sighed before remembering the qualifications of this body.
Although the little girl was raised by Grandma Shen, she was a hardworker and wanted nothing more than make her proud.
She had leanred dance, music, vocals, instuments like piano, guitar, flute and whatnot.
'System, tell me, is there any good job for these qualifications I have?'
[...There are, but not the best paying or the best treating, probably with some loopholes.]
"Haa..."
Ming Yue sighed, understanding the implied meaning of being taken advantage of.
That's when she recalled something.
"Right? How could I forget that?"
Shooting back to her bed, she picked up her phone and looked at the empty chat with the name hanging above Zhi Ying.
Despite her reluctance, it seemed her body kind of forced her to go into the entertainment industry.
But there was no way she was going to be an actress or an idol.
"Let's first see what all positions I can apply for in the backend," she mused before sending a sonewhat formal and somewhat casual message.
Hey, Zhi Ying! This is Ming Yue. I wanted to talk to you about the proposition you asked me about...
Though the actual message was longer and had tons of words, the basic meaning was just that.
And Zhi Ying, who recieved the message was stunned for a moment before breaking into a smile.
And that was during the time her brothers failed to cheer her up!
Just seeing her smile after a message on her phone immediately made them cautious and their auras turned cold.
Just who was bold enough to court their sister?
Yet her next words stunned them speechless.
"Second brother, I found my new agent," Zhi Ying said mischievously, hiding her smile and not saying anything more.
Her First and Second brothers wanted to ask more but feared ruining her mood so kept quiet.
Meanwhile, Ming Yue who lazily lay on her bed after discovering the ploy left by her mother was cursing vehemently.
"Damn it! If I find her, Imma starve her for 3 days!"
"How could she be so inhumane to even take away the fruits and vegetables!"
Just the thought of it made Ming Yue want to put the house on fire!
In fact, Mother Shen had no idea why she felt chilly all day.
In her plan, Ming Yue would only suffer because there was no cooked food.
But who knew that the stock had ended and today was the days to refill it.
Unknowingly, she even set up a landmine for her breakfast for tomorrow as there would be nothing to cook from!
However, wheter it was Ming Yue or Mother Shen both, both were unaware of their own plights.
Thankfully, Ming Yue recieved the message from Zhi Ying asking her to be an agent and if she was okay with that.
And Ming Yue immediately beamed, agreeing instantly.
Being able to witness firsthand entertainment gossip, now who would miss such a golden chance?
Plus, as an agent, she was sure that she wouldn't be staying in one place for long as a newbie, so that was a win-win.
