From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

Chapter 630: 333 False accusation

Ming Jing walked up to the podium, stood behind the lectern, and her gentle voice spread through every corner of the auditorium through the microphone.

“Hello seniors of Jiangzhou University, I am Ming Jing.”

Almost the moment her voice fell, the applause thundered from the audience.

Hu Guo’er sat in the second row in the middle, and from this angle, she could clearly see the person on the stage.

While the people around her were marveling at Ming Jing’s stunning beauty, Hu Guo’er disdainfully curled her lips.

What qualifications does a high school student have to give a lecture to college students?

What she didn’t know was that Ming Jing was specifically invited by the leadership of Jiangzhou University. She was not only a high school student but also a social celebrity and a pioneer in charity.

Just this fact alone was enough for her to have a certain social status. The college students present, who were still relying on their parents for living expenses, only saw her glamorous appearance and highly respected social status; those who could think deeper would not ask such a foolish question.

“Maybe everyone is wondering what qualifications I, a high school student, have to hold a lecture for all the 985 elite students in attendance.”

Hu Guo’er’s face stiffened for a moment.

“Instead of calling it a lecture, it’s more like an exchange session. Today, as a friend, I will have an in-depth and simple exchange with you all. Today’s theme is kindness.”

“Zeng Zi said: If a man loves kindness, although happiness may not be near, disaster will be far away. Kindness is a broad and general concept. Throughout the ages, countless literati have praised it; but few people truly understand what real kindness is.”

Ming Jing’s voice was soft and ethereal, and her tone was calm and composed. Soon, the entire auditorium quieted down, with no one whispering or using their phones, everyone listening carefully.

If at first it was the power of a goddess’ beauty, as Ming Jing gradually unfolded her arguments, everyone’s minds were completely drawn in, becoming more and more absorbed, especially as she mixed in some easy-to-understand Buddhist concepts. In this world where everyone is rushing around, the young girl’s soft and ethereal voice seemed like a heavenly chant, washing away all anxiety and troubles, transforming them into inner peace and tranquility.

There was no dull preaching, and occasionally she even told some popular short stories that made people laugh and think at the same time.

Time passed quickly, and before they knew it, the session was coming to an end.

“Cultivate a kind heart to break a hundred evils, believe in kindness to create blessings, accumulate good deeds tirelessly, believe in hidden virtues that will be revealed over time, have a peaceful heart and know right from wrong. Therefore, plant good causes to reap good results, plant evil causes, and you will definitely get evil results. I hope that from now on, everyone will cultivate their body and mind, and make many good connections.”

As everyone was still immersed in Ming Jing’s voice and unable to extricate themselves, she quietly stepped down from the podium.

When she left, the audience erupted in excitement.

What is kindness? It is the righteous thoughts that come from within, the self-discipline of rectifying oneself and one’s heart, and the tolerance of recognizing the greatness of the universe and still caring for the greenness of grass and trees.

Listening to a man’s words is better than reading ten years of books.

When most people had left the auditorium, there were only a few student council members left cleaning the scene.

Charles Gao glanced at Jiang Jinchen, who had been silent all along, and patted him on the shoulder, “I heard there’s a new barbecue place that just opened outside the school’s back gate, and it’s got good reviews. I’ll treat you guys tonight.”

Jiang Jinchen stood up and joined the cleaning crew with his sleeves rolled up.

Charles Gao said to Li Jun and Zhou Qin, “You guys go ahead and eat first. I’ll wait for him.”

Li Jun opened a mobile game, “What’s the point of eating alone if we’re brothers? Let’s take advantage of this time and play a round.”

Zhou Qin quietly pulled down the rolled-up sleeves, he thought Li Jun was going to say it was the brotherly thing to do to help out.

Apparently, he overestimated Li Jun.

“Xiao Ya, look who that is! I told you he must be interested in you. Is he doing it on purpose?”

Lin Ya took off her white down jacket, revealing a light blue striped knit long skirt, which outlined her slender figure. Her long hair was loosely tied behind her head, with a few strands falling by her temples, making her look even more gentle and pure.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ya shook her head and sternly said, “A Wen, don’t joke about such things.”

A Wen sighed helplessly, “Fine, fine, I don’t know what you’re afraid of. Look over there.”

A Wen pointed to Li Qingyao not far away, “The flower of the journalism department. Now do you know how many people are eyeing the school’s poster boy? Look, the school’s flower is also here.”

Hu Guo’er sat in the last row, not a member of the student council, holding her phone and watching short videos, laughing as she watched and sneaking a glance at Jiang Jinchen from time to time.

“It’s none of my business. Let’s just focus on our own work.” Lin Ya bowed her head to work, looking indifferent.
