9 Where Did the Oriental Princess Come From

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ming Qu's vision had become clearer the next day.

However, due to the old lady's illness, the villa had fallen into silence.

A month later, the old lady passed away.

Ming Qu, whose vision was still imperfect, caught a glimpse of the second miss of the Gu family, Gu Chun'er, at the funeral.

Dressed fully in black, she appeared solemn and formal, but it did little to hide her lively aura.

During this time, they had briefly exchanged looks.

Ming Qu felt a strong hostility in her eyes.

At the time, she did not take it to heart. It was not until a few days later that she would be pushed down a flight of stairs in the villa. As she fell, she saw Gu Chun'er standing on the second-floor stairway shouting at her, "Identity thief!".

It was at that moment where Ming Qu realized that Second Miss Gu was holding a grudge against her.

Falling on her head, she fell into a coma.

Ming Qu had a long dream. She experienced her own life from birth to death as if she was reading another's story.

She woke up a week later in the wee hours of the morning.

Examining her surroundings, she realized that she was in a hospital.

Looking around the empty ward, she softly read aloud a name: Ming Qu.

Her initially warm eyes gradually sharpened.

How could she let others decide her life?!

Later that morning, she would go through the discharge procedures, but did not return to the Gu family.

When Ah Ying found out, she felt ashamed. She reported the situation to Gu Yuzhen just as he emerged from work.

From afar, Gu Yuzhen spotted a familiar figure walking across the street.

He thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him. By the time he chased after her, she was already gone.

That night, Ming Qu returned to the villa.

She had come to say goodbye to Gu Yuzhen.

In the study, Ming Qu seemed to have transformed into a different person.

His gaze was now cold and indifferent.

"Thank you, Mr.Gu, for taking care of me during this period of time. If there's ever a need in the future, Ming Qu will definitely do everything she can to help."

As the man behind the desk heard her words, he slowly lifted his eyes.

His calm and emotionless gaze stayed on her for a while.

"My sister has been impudent. I've already reprimanded her."

"Second Miss Gu should really be taught a lesson. Otherwise, she may regret it if she gets into trouble in the future."

Ming Qu's tone was unfriendly, and her eyes contained a spark of viciousness.

Gu Yuzhen had never seen her like this, nor had he ever met a girl with such a temper.

Without waiting for his reply, Ming Qu turned around and pushed the door open.

Gu Yuzhen, acting on impulse, circled around the desk and stepped out of the study, chasing after her.

Staring at the figure who had already gone down the stairs, he blurted out, "It's so late, where are you going?"

"Back to the countryside."

Ming Qu's pace did not falter as she waved goodbye to him.

Gu Yuzhen felt an inexplicable panic in his heart and followed behind her down the stairs.

Outside, on the courtyard path,

Gu Yuzhen grabbed her by her wrist as he said frankly, "Ming Qu, it looks like you fell. Your brain has recovered."

Ming Qu turned around. Raising her head slightly, she curled her lips.

"My brain has always been fine. I've only suffered some injuries that caused me to forget about my past. Now that I've regained my memories, I want to return to seek justice."

The smile in her eyes gradually disappeared, turning into ruthlessness.

Gu Yuzhen looked at the radiant, beautiful face before him. For a moment, he did not know if he wanted to persuade her to stay.

"Are you really leaving?"

"I am not a good person. Others have hurt me, how could I not return the favor? As the saying goes, murder and plunder are irreconcilable."

With those harsh words, she shook off his hand and strode forward.

It was a cold and silent night in the middle of winter.

The silvery-white moonlight shone down, creating an afterglow.

Gu Yuzhen watched as her figure disappeared into the courtyard, and he dialed a number.

Ming Qu returned to the countryside, but she was temporarily delayed due an issue with her documents.

More than a month later, she was invited to a ball.

She wore a fragrant little windbreaker and a top hat of the same color. Her shoulder-length black hair had turned into a small, chestnut-colored curl. She had also put on quite some exquisite makeup.

Compared to before, this Ming Qu seemed to stand a little taller.

In an antique manor in France, late in the evening, there was singing and dancing taking place. It was a jovial mood.

Ming Qu found herself a quiet corner. Just as she had been seated, she noticed Gu Chun'er, accompanied by two blue-eyed French girls, enter the manor hall from afar.

She did not expect to meet Gu Chun'er here, so she could not help but feel perturbed.

It was a rare moment of leisure, and she did not want to be disturbed.

She picked up a newspaper, deliberately covering herself. Less than a minute later, a man came over and invited her to dance.

Ming Qu wanted to refuse, but she was met by a sour French taunt: "Oh, where did this oriental princess come from, can she even dance?"

At that, the girls who had followed Gu Chun'er in covered their mouths and snickered, catching the attention of more onlookers.

Ming Qu was provoked.

Oriental princess, huh?

I'll give you all a show!

She smiled as she got up, putting her hand in the hand of the man who invited her as she pulled him towards the dance floor.

The music that was playing had been composed by the most famous musician in France in the last century. The melody was light and mellow, appropriate for youthful dance.

Ming Yu swayed elegantly from left to right, light-footed and perfectly in sync with her male partner.

After some time, they finished the song and moved on to another.

Only then did she cast a proud gaze at Gu Chun'er, who was already gnashing her teeth in anger not far away.

She did not intend on making an enemy out of her, but this girl was so domineering and impetuous that she could not help but mess with her.

Since Ming Qu was unable to hide, she had no choice but to deal with her head on. If not for the fact that she was Gu Yuzhen's younger sister, she would have caused an even bigger commotion.

After so many years in the countryside, she had picked up on too many things. She never thought that she would have to use French in her life, but apparently she would now owe some thanks to her biological sister.
