Chapter 193
Ying Yuexuan had always listened to Zhong Manhua and had not been disobedient.
She had to take out her mobile phone and started to call Ying Tianru, who was still in O Chau.
The call was quickly answered, with a loud windy sound coming from it and quite a lot of garbled voices.
“Hello, brother, it’s Xiao Xuan.” Ying Yuexuan pressed the receiver, “Something has happened to mum, she has to be detained for fifteen days, when will you be back?”
“Detention?” Ying Tianru had just finished accompanying a client and was drinking with a friend, when he heard this, he woke up at once, “What’s going on?”
“The matter is like this.” Ying Yuexuan briefly recounted, “I stopped it, but didn’t, my sister should have had some conflict with my mother and didn’t come, it was the lawyer who came.”
After listening to this, Ying Tianru did not react much, but only faintly: “Wang Guangdang, give the phone to mum.”
“Mom.” Ying Yuexuan handed the phone over, “Brother is looking for you.”
Zhong Manhua really didn’t want her son to know about this scandal, but she didn’t want to be detained and there was nothing she could do about it.
She took it and quickly said, “Tianru, do you know a lawyer over in the Imperial City? Contact one for mum, your sister is simply being too nonsensical.”
“Mum, it’s you who’s being nonsensical.” Ying Tianru was even laughing, “Even though she said it wasn’t Zidi who did it, you still went to the police station. Hmm?”
“I’m ……” Facing Ying Tianru, Zhong Manhua’s anger subsided and her voice lowered, “It’s already like this, it’s useless to talk about it, let’s find a lawyer first.”
Ying Tianru knew Zhong Manhua’s temperament, so he didn’t say anything more to her and pressed the phone.
He picked up his lighter, lit a cigarette and leaned back on the sofa, irritably puffing away.
“What’s wrong?” Next to him was also a gent who, seeing him like this, couldn’t help but snicker, “Upset again about which of the thousands of girls you’re turning down?”
They had started a business together on this side of the o-continent, and in the past two years, the company had taken shape.
Of course, it was just a small company.
Because of his outstanding appearance, Ying Tianliu is extremely popular even in foreign countries.
Not long ago, the daughter of a wealthy family said she wanted him to join her family.
But the young man knew that such a thing was impossible.
Ying Tianlv had excelled since he was a child and was self-reliant in everything he did.
“My mother has been detained.” Ying Tianru stood up and stroked the cigarette ash from his white shirt, his expression light, “Or something I caused myself, I’m going to go back early and leave on tomorrow’s flight.”
“Detention?” The male was surprised, “Breaking the law? No way?”
“Not really.” Ying Tianru pinched his brow, “Last year our family adopted a little girl, sort of my sister, and my mother insisted that she stole the pink diamonds I gave to the firm, and there was no evidence, so it went to the police.”
“Now it’s proven to be slander, so she has to be detained, do you think she asked for it?”
Gongzi was not in Shanghai and was not aware of the Ying family’s affairs, so when he heard this, he shook his head, “It’s really odd that your mother did this.”
“You guys play first.” Ying Tianru picked up the outside of his suit and nodded, “I’m going back.”
After walking out of the ktv, he sent a text message to his a*sistant for a flight at ten tomorrow morning.
Ying Tianru exhaled slowly, remembering something instead.
He did know that Zhong Manhua and Ying Zhending had adopted a little girl, saying that it was destiny to see that she looked like them.
He had just started his business and didn’t have time for it, so he came back to see her halfway through.
Although he only met her once, Ying Tianru was impressed, and he hasn’t forgotten her now.
She was an overly pretty girl, but she was a bit scared.
When she came to the house, she was very nervous and uncomfortable.
She was very fair-skinned and tall for her age.
It was hard to imagine that such a young girl could be raised in such a poor place as Qing Shui County.
He had gone walking in the countryside before and most of the little children were yellow and skinny.
Only the clothes she was wearing carried many patches and her trouser legs were washed white.
It was a stark contrast to their family.
So when Zhong Manhua and Ying Zhenting wanted to adopt this little girl, he agreed.
Then he had been in O Chau and was not sure about other things.
I didn’t expect this to be such a big deal this time.
If it was his own sister, Zhong Manhua would not have done this.
He also kinda wanted this little girl to be his real sister.
Ying Tianru pressed his head, smiling and sighing.
It’s true that when you drink too much, your mind starts to wander.
He shook off his head and went to the bathroom to wash his face before heading outside.
**
The day the exam results were released, the Dean of Education couldn’t wait to direct the Student Council to start putting up the red list.
What’s more, on the big screen at the entrance of the school, they put up Wen Listen Lan’s picture and name, with big red flowers dotting the side.
The director of moral education really couldn’t appreciate the senior citizen taste of the head teacher and had the big red flowers removed again.
The seniors were released and the other grades were still in school.
As soon as they entered, they were able to see the big screen.
Wen heard Lan followed Wen Fengmian, with handsome and deep features.
The sense of adolescence pounced on his face and made people’s hearts flutter.
After he moved to Qingzhi, many girls had their hearts set on him, but usually he always had a light face, so no one dared to approach.
“I heard that this top student is even younger than us, only 16 years old, and he scored such high marks.
“I can only say that people have good genes, you don’t know, do you? He is Ying Shen’s younger brother, his sister is so strong, his younger brother must not be any worse.”
Zhong Zhiyan had little interest in who this year’s top student was, and was about to leave when she heard this and stopped, frowning.
Wen Huilan was Ying Zidian’s younger brother?
She only knew that Ying Zidian had come from the small county and had a family there.
But she didn’t know that he was from the same family as Wen Huilan.
Zhong Zhiyan couldn’t understand Ying Zidian’s thinking.
She had to go back to that poor family instead of staying in a wealthy family.
So what if Wen heard Lan was the top student in the entrance examination, but when she graduated, she would still have to work in their company?
“What kind of divine family is this.” On the side, a girl from the Talent cla*s was envious to the core, “Ying Zidian is the top of our grade, and her brother is also the top of his senior year.”
“This year her brother is the top student in the college entrance exam with near full marks, next year the top student in the college entrance exam will definitely be her, I just don’t know how many marks she can get.”
Zhong Zhiwei’s expression faded and she squeezed the strap of her school bag: “There’s still a year to go before next year, how do you know the top student will definitely be her?”
“For sure.” The girl took it for granted, “She can even get full marks in our cla*s papers, what’s the GCSE?”
Sensing that Zhong Zhiyan’s face was not right, she spoke up again, “But you’re not bad either, you’re a top student, we can’t compare ourselves to perverts.”
It’s not like there’s a pervert like Ying Zidian every year.
Zhong Zhiyan’s face got even worse, she ignored the girls and went into the school building by herself.
**
After handing the matter over to Xi Weihuan, Ying Zidian didn’t care about the Ying family’s affairs.
She accompanied Wen Huilan to receive one last hypnotherapy session to repair her psyche.
After this time, Wen heard Lan would basically be able to behave like a normal person.
Norton University also has a hypnotherapist who is responsible for clearing the memories of the students and also managing their psychological problems.
Anyone who fails the interview and has their degree cancelled will have to see a hypnotist before leaving the university.
The secrets of Norton University cannot be exposed.
Although Norton University’s hypnotist is not ranked second on the nok hypnotist list like Yu Xuesheng, his ability is not low either.
Right now Norton was not at the school yet, so Ying could feel comfortable sending Wen Listen Lan there, at least he wouldn’t be squandered by Norton, the alchemy madman.
At the same time, Norton University was very safe, and what had happened when she was five years old would never happen again.
Ying Ziji glanced at the closed consultation room door and turned her head: “Back in your day, he was also in charge of the treatment?”
Fu Yunshen tilted his head and looked up at the sky, smiled sideways: “No, it was his teacher, he was still young then, what could he know.”
Ying Zidian nodded: “Hypnosis is quite interesting.”
Hypnotists were much scarier than marksmen and killers.
When they make a move, the other party can’t even notice.
Therefore, the reward for a hypnotist is much more expensive.
Ying Ziji had read the reward postings on the nok forum, and the top five hypnotists on the list could not even be hired for money.
She looked at the man thoughtfully for a few seconds: “Do you want to have your fortune told?”
“Hm?” Fu Yunshen’s peach blossom eyes lifted with a shallow smile, “What kind of fortune telling? Peach blossom luck?”
“It’s up to you.” Ying Ziji took out a deck of tarot cards from his pocket, “Choose three at random.”
Fu Yunshen raised his eyebrows, “Tarot cards, huh.”
His slender hand lifted, his fingertips slid over the cards, and he was ready to draw.
The phone rang at this time, sharply and abruptly.
Fu Yunshen withdrew his hand, “Yoyo, you answer the phone first.”
Ying Ziyang glanced at him before picking up the phone; “Hello, Grandpa.”
The number was Master Zhong’s mobile phone number, but the person calling was not.
Chapter 194
The voice on the microphone was unfamiliar.
It was a man.
The tone was polite, the voice low.
“Hello, sister Ziggy, I’m sorry to disturb you at this time.” He said, “I’m Ying Tianru.”
Ying Ziyi tilted her head, her voice muted, “I’m not your sister.”
Between the words, there was endless indifference.
There were no mood swings and no warmth.
It was hard to imagine what kind of suffering one had gone through to become like this.
Ying Tianru, who had never known what pity was, his heart went cold.
Although he had only met Ying Zidian once, at that time, she would still smile at him.
It was a small smile, but a sincere one.
Ying Tianru was silent for a brief moment: “Sorry, didn’t mean to call you that,”
After a pause, he continued, “I already know all about what Ma did to you, I really didn’t expect that she would do such a thing.”
“The damage has been done, I know it’s useless to say anything, and I’m not asking you to forgive, I just hope I can give you a little compensation.”
At the dining table, Elder Zhong glanced at Ying Tianru.
Only after confirming that he was not in the same group as Ying Zhenting and Zhong Manhua, did he put on his old-fashioned gla*ses, take out his ipad and start surfing on the internet.
At the same time, Elder Zhong was hesitating whether to tell Ying Tianru the truth or not.
Ying Ziji gave him the message that she had left the Ying family and didn’t want to be involved with anyone in the Ying family anymore.
He needed to respect her wishes.
Ying Tianru was about to speak when he heard the girl speak in a calm tone, “No need to make amends, I’m fine, as long as you guys leave me alone.”
“It’s really my mother who was too impulsive about the pink diamond.” Ying Tianru pressed his brow and sighed, “I’m not pleading for her either, she did so many measures, she should be detained for a few days to clear her head.”
As soon as these words were said, the phone was hung up.
Ying Tianru looked at the call interface and smiled slightly bitterly.
If he wasn’t using Elder Zhong’s phone, he probably wouldn’t even have the qualifications to speak to Ying Zigui.
He really didn’t expect that Zhong Manhua had forced Ying Ziji to give Ying Luwei’s blood thirteen times in a year, regardless of whether she was willing or not.
Ying Tianru pressed his temples and handed the phone back to Elder Zhong: “Grandpa, thank you.”
“It’s okay.” Old Master Zhong nodded, “Sit down and eat.”
Ying Tianru sat down and saw that Ying Yuexuan seemed to be in a daze, so he called out, “What are you thinking about?”
“Ah? Oh, oh.” Ying Yuexuan returned to her senses in a daze and sat down.
The servant served the food, there were only three of them, and the meal was not too big.
Ying Yuexuan ate a little absentmindedly, eating rice all the time and not moving the dishes.
It wasn’t that she didn’t feel that Elder Zhong wasn’t as kind to her as he used to be.
She could tell almost immediately that Elder Zhong knew that she was not his own granddaughter.
If this was not the case, Elder Zhong would not have treated her in this manner.
But clearly, at that time, both Zhong Manhua and Ying Zhenting had agreed that they would hide it from the others.
How did Elder Zhong know about it?
“What’s wrong?” Elder Zhong put down his chopsticks, “Not to taste?”
Ying Yuexuan shook her head, “No.”
“Maybe she’s just returned from abroad and is a bit unaccustomed to it.” Ying Tianru didn’t notice anything unusual about Ying Yuexuan, he thought for a moment, “Grandpa, is Ziggy still in Qingzhi?”
“What do you want?” Elder Zhong snorted coldly, “I can tell you, she doesn’t want to see you and you shouldn’t bother her.”
“Grandpa, I don’t mean that.” Ying Tianru smiled helplessly, “Mum has gone too far, I have to make up for it.”
“No need.” Elder Zhong waved his hand, “Ziggy gave me the word that she’s comfortable without seeing you guys.”
Ying Yuexuan didn’t say anything, still looking down and picking at her food, a little ashamed of what she had just thought.
Ying Zidian was the true daughter of the Ying family, and she was a turtledove.
How could she have thought that? It was so wrong.
Ying Yuexuan raised her head, hesitated for a moment and called out, “Brother.”
Ying Tianru was thinking of a solution when he turned his head at the words, “What’s wrong?”
“I’m actually… ……” Ying Yuexuan pursed her lips, “It’s nothing, I just have an upset stomach, I’m going to the washroom.”
She swallowed the words “I’m not actually kissing your sister”.
She was afraid that if Ying Tianru knew about it, he wouldn’t be so nice to her.
** On the other side.
On the other side.
Fu Yunshen raised his eyebrows and trailed off: “Your brother?”
Ying Ziyi also followed his example and leaned against the railing, looking up at the sky, her whole body looking lazy.
The sunlight fell on her almost transparent skin, gathering a faint layer of gold.
“Hmm.” She laid the cards in front of him, “Draw then, brother.”
Fu Yunshen’s hand lurched.
Her voice clearly did not rise and fall, it was still the usual cool, clear voice, as if it was just a casual kick.
But it was like a feather that floated around on the tip of his heart, tugging at his heartstrings.
It was as if a gentle breeze was blowing in her ears, carrying with it a faint surge of air that tickled her.
This was the first time she had ever, officially, called him that.
It was extremely powerful.
Fu Yunshen clenched his fist against his lips and coughed lightly: “Yaoyao, that’s too much.”
“Excessive?” Ying Ziji turned her head, pondered for two seconds, and then realized, “You can’t.”
“?”
“Just one scream and you can’t do it, you’ll be even more unable to do it later.”
Fu Yunshen’s eyes gradually darkened, his eyes were as deep as the sea: “In the future?”
“Well, it depends on the mood, maybe I’ll call again later, you get used to it.” Ying didn’t say anything else, still two words, “Draw cards.”
“……”
Fu Yunshen pressed his head, realising that he and his little friend’s brain circuits were no longer on the same line.
He was the beast.
He raised his hand, and chose three cards.
Ying Ziji flipped over the cards and fell into silence for the first time.
Even when she was counting Norton’s goings-on, she hadn’t felt any resistance.
But this time it was just a small matter of counting on Fu Yunshen, and the resistance was huge.
Fu Yunshen looked at the three blank cards in her hand and raised an eyebrow, “Yao Yao, where did you buy them online, you’ve been cheated, he didn’t even draw the pattern for you.”
Ying put away the cards with a blank face, “It doesn’t count.”
“Hmm?”
“Don’t talk to me, don’t want to talk to you right now.”
“……”
**
After the college entrance exams were over, the final exams were held separately for the first and second years of high school.
After the exams, summer vacation officially began.
But since it was a prospective senior year, soph*more year needed to make up another month of cla*ses.
This time, the final exams were held without Ying Ziyang, so the results of the Talent Cla*s were then converted.
Zhong Zhiyan was also back at the top of the grade.
However, she received much less attention than usual. The campus forum was basically about Ying Yuexuan, who had just returned, and Ying Zidian, who had been sitting on the godhead.
“Ying Dad, a lot of people are guessing why you’re not taking the exams anymore.” Xiu Yu looked at the post, “Tch, there are actually people who think you cheated, I think they all have fish memories and forgot about that open quiz.”
Jiang Yan took a sip of cola and sneered, “Whoever questions it, then put them in a sack and beat them up.”
Ying raised his eyes, “Feet.”
Jiang Yan shut up.
He didn’t know what his mother had said to their cla*s father that caused him to be regulated to death now.
“Ying Dad, what are you doing?” Xiu Yu came over, “Painting?”
“Hmm.” Ying nodded, “Design it.”
She had nothing else to do, so she was designing some clothes for a clothing company under First Light Media and sending them to a design competition in O-continent.
Anyway, it would make money.
“I really didn’t believe that anyone could do it all before, until I met you, Ying Dad.” Xiu Yu sighed, “This gap between people, how come it’s so big.”
Ying Ziji casually drew with his brush as he casually replied, “Give you three hundred years to study, you’ll know it all too.”
“……” Xiu Yu choked out, “No no, I still want to reincarnate early.”
Originally she didn’t have a good feeling about tutoring, but with Ying Zigui around, she was certainly happy to come to school.
As if remembering something, Xiu Yu turned her head and looked at Jiang Yan, “Shouldn’t you be going back to the imperial capital?”
“I don’t want to.” Jiang Yan slumped on the table, annoyed, “Let’s talk about it next year.”
The imperial capital was so chaotic, it was not as clean as here.
If he went back, he wouldn’t be of much help.
**
After cla*s, Ying Ziji went back to see Old Master Zhong.
Master Zhong also remembered something important: “D**key, I don’t think Tianru is that kind of person, do you think you should tell him what’s going on?”
“No need.” Ying Zidian held his pen without looking up, “There’s no need.”
It was hard to break off the cause and effect, but it was easy to get involved.
If she accepted Ying Tianru’s compensation, she and the Ying family would have karma again.
“That’s fine.” Elder Zhong sighed, “Just leave the family’s affairs alone, but Tianru is a good boy.”
Ying Ziji stayed with Elder Zhong for two hours, and finished spending a draft by hand.
She picked it up and looked at it in the light, always finding it quite hard to read.
She rubbed the paper, threw it in the trash and went out of the study.
Only after Ying Zidian left did Zhong Zhiwei dare to come in.
She didn’t dare to cause any more trouble in the past few days, and she was so determined to please Master Zhong that she also took up the maid’s job, which finally made Master Zhong warm up to her.
“Grandpa, your rubbish here is full, let me help you take it out.”
Master Zhong answered indifferently.
Zhong Zhiyan pursed her lips, walked to the bin and squatted down, about to pick up the bag when she noticed a very crumpled piece of paper.
Her eyes glanced at it and saw a scrap of manuscript.
