Chapter 189
The Mu family is one of the top big giants in the imperial capital. Not to mention the families in Shanghai, the other families in the imperial capital are no match for the Mu family.
It was also because of the presence of Mu Heqing that black and white rights and wrongs in the Mu family were almost non-existent.
Like a few other golden sons of the same generation, Mu Shenzhou grew up with an elite education.
He is not arrogant, nor does he feel superior just because he is the son of the Mu family.
This is a very rare thing.
The only thing Mu Shenzhou doesn’t like is people with a wrong outlook.
As it happened, Ying Zidian was one of them.
He had no curiosity about Ying Zidian, and it would be a waste of time to ask him to look into her.
However, if he could make Zhong Zhiyan say that, it was obvious that she would not be likeable.
When she heard Mu Shenzhou’s words, Zhong Zhiyan quickly lowered her head and suppressed the smile on her lips.
Mrs. Zhong did not show any expression and went to the kitchen to bring over some gla*ses of freshly squeezed juice.
And with a snap, Master Zhong put his mobile phone on the table and raised his head.
Mu Shenzhou just nodded: “Excuse me.”
“Good, indeed there is no need.” Elder Zhong glanced at Mu Shenzhou, his expression indistinguishable from joy and anger, indifferent, “It’s not like anyone can see D**ky whenever they want to, since you said so, move out from here after dinner.”
When these words came out, both Zhong Zhiyan and Mrs. Zhong were startled.
Mrs. Zhong blurted out, “Old master!”
What kind of existence was the Mu family?
Even the four great families combined were no match for them!
And Mu Shenzhou, was one of the candidates for this generation’s heir.
There was a great possibility that he would take over the Mu family from Mu Heqing in the future.
If Elder Zhong said this, wouldn’t it directly cut off the Zhong family’s path to friendship with the Mu family?
Zhong Zhiyan’s nails were pinched into her palm, biting her lip.
She really didn’t expect that in Master Zhong’s mind, the importance of Ying Ziji had surpa*sed that of the Zhong family.
Even at the risk of offending the Mu family, he wanted to defend Ying Zidian.
And he says he’s not biased?
“You must know that you are an outsider, this is my family.” Elder Zhong ignored Madam Zhong, and he didn’t get angry, “It’s none of your business if my granddaughter wants to come, so you don’t have to put on this face, if you don’t want to see it, get out.”
Mu Shenzhou obviously didn’t expect to be spoken to like this by Master Zhong, and for a moment his feet were fixed in place, and he was still a little embarra*sed.
But his good breeding made him correct his mistake and he immediately apologised, “Sorry, Master, it was my fault, I apologise to you and Miss Ying.”
“Then put away your expression.” Elder Zhong didn’t appreciate it, “Don’t let Ziggy see it.”
Mu Shenzhou was even more embarra*sed, but quickly set his face straight.
“Shenzhou, you, you don’t mind.” Zhong Zhiyan still decided to say something, “My grandfather is protective, he’s very good to us all.”
“Quite good.” Mu Shenzhou wasn’t angry, instead he smiled, “If I could meet my grandfather once, I’d be satisfied.”
Zhong Zhiyan was stunned, “You haven’t even met your grandfather?”
Mu Shenzhou shook his head.
From the time he was born, he had grown up listening to Mu Heqing’s great achievements.
He admired his grandfather.
However, as the first grandson of the Mu family, he had never met Mu Heqing at all.
This time, apart from coming to Shanghai to avoid the limelight in the imperial capital, he had also come to see if he could bump into his grandfather.
The doorbell rang and the butler Zhong, who was standing by, went to open the door.
Mu Shenzhou looked over with little expression, but when he did, he was stunned.
The girl was wearing casual short sleeves and denim trousers, a pair of canvas shoes, and a baseball cap on her head.
The girl was wearing casual shorts and denim trousers, a pair of canvas shoes and a baseball cap on her head. It could not be more ordinary, but it was hard to hide the aura around her.
She looked up at that moment, revealing her eyebrows hidden by the brim of the hat.
Her pupils were as bright as snow, and her eyes were as bright as snow.
Mu Shenzhou froze for a while before he returned to his senses.
He had seen many famous daughters in the imperial capital, but there was really none that could compare to the girl in front of him.
When he saw the girl enter, Elder Zhong was all smiles.
But the next second, his smile disappeared.
“Brat!” Elder Zhong covered his heart and glared, “Why are you here too?!”
His granddaughter had come to visit him for a trip, how come the pig had followed him here too?
He was really trying to bite his family’s cabbage!
Fu Yunshen raised his eyebrows and curled his lips, lazily, “Good day, Grandpa Zhong.”
Master Zhong wanted to blast him out, but after all, he was his brother’s grandson, and he was only asking for an advantage with his mouth.
“Not good, old man, not good at all.” Elder Zhong slanted a glance at this too-devilish man and snorted coldly, “You’re here this time to return the snacks your grandfather stole?”
“Grandpa Zhong has good eyesight.” Fu Yunshen smiled, “Moved a cart and put it in the garden for you.”
“That’s more like it.” Elder Zhong waved his hand, “Sit down, dinner will be served soon.”
Ying Ziji sat down next to Elder Zhong, and Fu Yunshen followed in his turn.
When the two came in, they didn’t pay any attention to anyone but Master Zhong.
Zhong Zhiyan and Madam Zhong lost their presence all of a sudden, not to mention Mu Shenzhou.
It was as if those three were the only ones in the same household.
Zhong Zhiyan squeezed her chopsticks tightly and felt uncomfortable in her heart.
She had no appetite at all for the meal, especially when she saw that Elder Zhong kept helping Ying Ziji with the dishes.
On the other side, Fu Yunshen was helping to pour hot water and even picking out the chopped onions in the dishes.
Although Fu Yunshen is a fop, his face is there, and he is indeed the dream girl of many famous women in Shanghai.
How could an adopted daughter let him serve her like this?
When the meal was over, Zhong Zhiwei quickly went upstairs.
If she continued to watch, she might not be able to control herself and throw the plate over.
Mu Shenzhou pursed his lips, the amazement she had brought him earlier had been overshadowed by disappointment.
During the time he had been in Shanghai, he had naturally heard about Fu Yunshen.
He was a fop, a flirt, a womanizer and liked to play with women.
No wonder Ying Zidian was able to send her own aunt to prison.
It turned out that she was relying on Fu Yunshen.
Mu Shenzhou shook his head and politely greeted Old Master Zhong before going upstairs as well.
After eating, Master Zhong called Ying Zigey into his study.
“D**key, be careful of that brat from the Fu family.” Elder Zhong was pained, “He must have ill intentions towards you, what if you are cheated by him?”
“Grandpa, don’t worry.” Ying Ziji paused to rea*sure him, “He actually wants to be in your role, or my father’s.”
Elder Zhong: “????”
“However, he’s quite accomplished at being a brother now.”
“……”

Imperial Capital.
Mu family.
Mu Heqing’s itinerary was only known to Mu Cheng alone.
So every day there would be quite a few people, coming to ask him about it.
“Master.” Mu Cheng frowned, sorting out today’s visit, and remembered another thing, “Fifth Madam sent Young Master Shenzhou to Shanghai City, she should have seen your car in Shanghai City.”
“If I saw it, I saw it.” Mu Heqing didn’t care much, indifferent, “Her brain, all of it is used in small calculations.”
Mu Cheng nodded, “I guess she thought you didn’t know anything.”
The Mu family had been in the imperial capital for so long, all relying on Mu Heqing alone to hold it up.
Mu Heqing had grown old, but his majesty had grown even higher.
“When one is old, even if one is in good health, one may go to the coffin at any time.” Mu Heqing finished writing the last word and pondered for a long time, “Mu Cheng, get ready, I’m going to choose an heir.”
Mu Cheng was taken aback, “Now? Miss Ying has treated you, and the ancient medical community says that your body will last another thirty years without any problems.”
Mu Heqing was seventy-five years old, and was already at an advanced age.
So when he heard the diagnosis from the ancient medical community, he was even more shocked by Ying Ziji’s medical skills.
“I think you are trying to tire me out.” Mu Heqing put down his pen and sighed, “Originally, I asked Ying to come to the imperial capital because I wanted to hand over the Mu family to her, but then I thought about it, she has no such obligation, so I won’t ask for it, but-”
“The heir to the Mu family still needs her nod.”
Mu Cheng was secretly shocked.
If this were to be heard by the descendants of the Mu family, the Mu family would change.
“So this time, there will be no direct side line to choose the heir, anyone who has the ability can, go and prepare.”

On June 20, there were still three days before the entrance exams were released.
The students, including the Talented Cla*s, were all anxious.
In previous years, the top ten in arts and science in Shanghai were all students from Qingzhi.
The top students in arts and sciences were naturally no exception.
Although Wen heard Lan was relaxed when he took the test, he was still a bit nervous during the process of getting his results.
As Wen Fengmian watched him drop his chopsticks when he ate, he couldn’t help but laugh: “Guiya, so worried?”
“No.” Wen Listen Lan bowed his head, “I just want to know how much I got on the essay test.”
After thinking about it after the test, he felt that his essay was a bit off-topic.
If he had run out of topics, he might have lost a dozen points.
It would have been lost to the top student.
“There’s no need to check.” Ying Zigui took a sip of juice, “You want to know how much you got on the exam, I’ll tell you.”
Wen Huilan was stunned.
The scores hadn’t come out yet, even the major universities hadn’t gotten their results, how did her sister know?
Chapter 190
Ying Ziji’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.
After a few seconds, her voice slowed down, “You scored 745 in total, 145 in language and full marks in the rest of your cla*ses, not only are you the top student in Shanghai City’s college entrance examination, but you also have the highest score in the national paper.”
Shanghai City used the same national paper this time, as did ten other provinces and cities.
The number of candidates added up to several million.
The top student in the college entrance examination, and the first in the national paper, were still two different things.
The girl spoke seriously, and Wen heard Lan almost believed it.
The corners of his lips were taut and he looked depressed: “Sister, don’t tease me.”
“Hmm.” Ying Zidian raised her eyebrows slightly, “Then you wait a bit.”
She slowly and methodically poured a cup of hot water and leaned back in her chair, “Dad, get your phone ready, you’ll be getting a lot of calls in the next few days, the expenses I’ve paid for you.”
“Good.” Wen Fengmian didn’t say anything, he just smiled, “Then dad will wait.”

In a city, it is always the gossip that spreads the fastest.
It’s just that Su Ruan didn’t expect it at first, and the rumor that came out wasn’t that Fu Yunshen was trying to woo her to pry Fu Yikan out of her corner.
It was that she had been blacklisted from the Century Mall and would not be allowed to enter.
The Century Mall had a monopoly on luxury goods, so there was no way for Su Ruan to buy the latest dresses and accessories for the season.
She even called to complain, to no avail, and was so angry that she dropped her phone.
She also knew all about how those celebrities and noblewomen mocked her.
But she had married in Shanghai, and there was no way she could even run back to the imperial capital.
If she did so, Fu Mingcheng and Mrs. Fu would definitely be displeased with her.
“Fu Yikan, what exactly did you mean that day?” Su Ruan’s eyes were red, “It was obviously him who should have left, why did you drag me away?”
When she met Fu Yunshen, apart from being annoying, there was a feeling of superiority.
She was his fiancée, but he couldn’t get it, and he had to call her sister-in-law.
Just thinking about it made Su Ruan feel free.
Fu Yikan’s expression lagged for a moment, only saying, “No matter what, Yun Shen he is also my brother, and Grandpa likes him the most.”
“Then I’m not your wife?” Su Ruan said, tears remaining in her eyes again, “How much family pressure did I risk when I married you?”
“Xiao Ruan, that’s not what I meant.” Fu Yijian took her over and coaxed in a low voice, “Besides, this matter was originally our fault to Yun Shen.”
“How are you sorry?” Su Ruan pushed him away, “Can’t he see what kind of virtue he has and whether he is worthy of me?”
Fu Yikan sighed and didn’t say anything else.
“In front of my eyes, he started flirting with other women.” Su Ruan looked even more disgusted, “He clearly didn’t put me, his sister-in-law, in his eyes.”
She had checked and found out the identity of the girl.
It was a foster daughter adopted by the Ying family.
The Ying family was not as good as the Fu family, let alone compared to her.
An adopted daughter with a dude was also a perfect match.
When Fu Yijian heard this, he was quite confused: “But Xiao Ruan, what does this have to do with you? Yun Shen is also a man, so he can’t have contact with the opposite sex?”
The old man wanted Fu Yunshen to start a family early, otherwise he wouldn’t have given him a marriage contract.
Su Ruan froze.
Her face felt like she had been slapped, and it hurt hotly.
“Sister-in-law is like mother, what’s wrong with me taking care of it?” Su Ruan’s face went cold, “He’s like this, he’s still not spoiled by you guys. ”
Fu Yijian obviously did not want to carry on this topic with her, so he said, “The dress and accessories for the banquet in a few days, I have sent someone from the empire to send them over, I have something to discuss with dad, you rest first.”
Without waiting for Su Ruan to say anything, he walked out quickly, as if he was running away.
Su Ruan was so angry that she shouted, “Fu Yikan!”
The door was closed and no response came from him.
Su Ruan couldn’t bear this aggravation and picked up the phone to call the Su family.
** Outside the door.
Outside the door.
Fu Yikan let out a sigh of relief.
Before she came back, Su Ruan was normal.
Once he met Fu Yunshen, he was stubborn and completely unable to persuade.
“Big brother.”
A surprised voice rang out.
Fu Yichan turned his head and nodded, “Yichen.”
“Big brother, I can finally see you.” Once Fu Yichen saw Fu Yichan, he almost cried out in pain, “Big brother, you don’t know what kind of life I’ve been living lately.”
He first told how he had been abused by Fu Yunshen and taken by Mrs. Fu to see brain doctors all over the country.
Who knew that the more he listened, the deeper Fu Yixian’s frown grew.
After listening, he said in a cold voice: “Fu Yichen, you really need to do some serious soul-searching, you’ve been talking nonsense all day long.”
Not listening, Fu Yichan turned around and went upstairs to the study on the third floor.
Fu Yichen was dumbfounded.
How could there be no one who believed him?
“Dad, Yichen’s hostility towards Yun Shen is too great.” Fu Yichan entered the study and shook his head, “You might as well just tell him that Yun Shen doesn’t have the right to inherit at all and can’t threaten anything.”
“There’s no need.” Fu Mingcheng put down the paper in his hand, raised his head and smiled coldly, “He doesn’t have the right to inherit, but the old man wants to give him all of the Imperial Fragrance Place.”
“That’s also ……” Fu Yichan was silent for a moment, “That’s also what he deserves.”
Back then, that matter was really unspeakable.
“Don’t mention him.” Fu Mingcheng beckoned, “Yijian, come over and take a look at this proposal.”

Wen Huilan had a very high IQ and was also far beyond the level of a genius.
The college entrance exams were just child’s play for him.
Wen Fengmian also knew that Wen Huilan’s grades would definitely not be bad.
But what he didn’t expect was that two days before the results of the college entrance exam were released, he received countless calls on his mobile phone.
Imperial Capital University, China University of Technology, China University of Science and Technology, Shanghai City Jiaotong University ……
All of the 985 institutions in China that ranked in the top ten all called.
The schools will know the results before the students do, so they all couldn’t wait until they knew that this time the top science student in Shanghai City had a perfect score in science.
It’s not as if full marks in science hadn’t happened before, but the school wouldn’t have too many.
The first call was from the Physics Department of Teito University: “Is Wen Huilan’s father, I’m a professor from the Physics Department of Teito University, please make sure you make sure he enrolls in the Physics Department!”
There was also a call from the mathematics department of Teito University, with the same words, but with an additional sentence: “Don’t give up the bullsh*t of the physics department, it’s all fake, come to the mathematics department, the bonus is generous!”
After connecting dozens of phone calls, even Wen Fengmian could not bear it anymore.
Not to mention, two-thirds of these dozens of calls were from the Imperial University.
One faculty, one phone call.
When he received another call from the School of Communication Engineering of the Imperial Capital University, Wen Fengmian asked a question that he was very concerned about, “Is your Imperial Capital University, is it bulk?”
“……”

Just as the whole city was eagerly awaiting the results of the college entrance examination to come out, Zhong Manhua was also very happy.
It was because Ying Yuexuan had finished her studies over in o continent and had returned.
The housekeeper opened the door and was very respectful: “Eldest Miss.”
“Good Uncle Butler.” Ying Yuexuan smiled, “I’ve brought you a present.”
The housekeeper was flattered, “Eldest miss is too polite.”
“Little Xuan, mum has been waiting for you for a long time, are you tired after a ten hour flight?” Zhong Manhua took the suitcase from her hands and was heartbroken, “You’ve lost weight.”
“Mum, not at all.” Ying Yuexuan took off her sun hat, “I’ve obviously gained five pounds.”
She glanced at the hall, confused, “Is my sister not here?”
Zhong Manhua lost her smile instantly, “No, she’s gone out.”
Her own daughter, severing ties with her, how could this be said?
Especially in front of the younger generation.
She couldn’t lose face.
Ying Yuexuan still wanted to ask something, but she was really tired too and went upstairs to rest.
Zhong Manhua looked at the gifts on the floor and sighed: “Little Xuan, this child, really knows how to behave.”
The housekeeper also smiled, “I didn’t expect it either, Missy has even brought gifts for each of the servants.”
Which of the other young ladies is not above their station?
Within a few minutes, Ying Yuexuan came down from upstairs, looking a little flustered for the first time.
Zhong Manhua was stunned: “What’s wrong?”
“Mum, have you seen the pink diamond my brother gave me?” Ying Yuexuan was anxious, “I put it in the drawer, but it’s gone, and there’s nothing else in the room.”
“The pink diamond?” Zhong Manhua remembered that it was a birthday present from Ying Tianru for her last birthday.
“No.” Ying Yuexuan was a bit sad, “My brother is coming back too, what if I lose it.”
“It was in the house properly, how could-” Zhong Manhua’s face suddenly sank, “Your sister must have done it, she was the only one who could get it.”
“Mum, what are you talking about?” Ying Yuexuan was slightly shocked and still angry, “There’s no way my sister could have done such a thing!”
“If not her, who else could it be?” Zhong Manhua sneered, “Your room is next to hers, she can go in whenever she wants.”
Ying Yuexuan had been away from the Ying family for a year, and she would have the maids clean up her room to ensure it was clean and comfortable to move in at any time.
“Mum, you really are too prejudiced against your sister.” Ying Yuexuan frowned, “Where is the reason for her to do that? Ask the maids for me if they dropped it somewhere when they were cleaning.”
“No need to ask, how could the maid move such a precious thing? Don’t you want to work for the Ying family anymore?” Zhong Manhua didn’t even think about it, “If you say she doesn’t have a reason, that’s impossible.”
“You have a birthday with her, you have a present and she doesn’t, or your brother gave it to her, she wouldn’t be jealous?”
Zhong Manhua picked up her phone, “I’ll ask her to come over now and return the pink diamond to you, if she doesn’t come, then call the police.”
