Chapter 229
Because none of them believed that Wen heard Lan was from Norton University, the netizens just went to Norton University’s Weibo number for a sightseeing tour and left.
Only a few of them were idle enough to squat.
What if Norton University replied too?
And really, they squatted.
But Norton University was so hot that after one tweet went out, other netizens who had left immediately came on the news.
Once they saw Norton University’s statement, the netizens were a little confused.
Especially Fang Ruotong’s fans and some keyboard warriors, who were slapped by this microblog, didn’t even come back to their senses.
Wen Hanlan is really a student of Norton University?
And Norton University even said that it was Fang Ruotong who forced Wen Huilan to donate her bone marrow?
It was hard to wait for the netizens to come back from the shock of this line, they found that underneath this Weibo post of Norton University, there was also a video and an audio file.
In the video was a ktv.
It was a complete record of how Fang Ruotong bullying him and threatening him with the safety of his family after Wen Hailan entered the ktv.
At the end, the video stops at a dark pa*sage that opens and Fang Ruotong has two bodyguards escort Wen Hanlan out.
The audio file, too, records Fang Ruotong’s voice.
A total of four sentences.
“Is it just a bone marrow donation? It’s not like you need a kidney, so why not?”
“The results of our match will be out in a little while, you just need to sign this consent form and I won’t let my dad touch your family.”
“Of course, if you don’t sign it, I have a way to make you sign it, but when the time comes, you’ll have a lot to lose oh.”
“Why don’t you see if your sister and father can resist the Fang family?”
These two documents instantly made Weibo explode.
[I spit out my overnight meal, using my family to force people to donate bone marrow? And you say it’s not so bad?]
[It’s disgusting, it’s disgusting, that’s it, and you’re an inspirational anchor?
The first lady of Ningchuan’s first family, the Fang family, was thought to be spoiled, but it turns out she has a black heart, so I’ll be blunt.
Fang Ruotong’s fans were even more shocked to the point of losing their words.
Earlier they were condemning Wen Huilan on Fang Ruotong’s behalf, but in the blink of an eye, things had reversed.
They all watched Fang Ruotong’s live stream, so how could they not hear who the voice in the audio was?
The fans, no matter how stupid they were, knew that their kindness was being blocked and they all started to take off their fans and stomp back.
In just ten minutes’ time, the wind on Weibo had completely changed.
Fang Ruotong just happened to be back from taking her medication.
When she saw that there were many red dots in her message column, she thought that there were many people comforting her and helping her to scold Wen Hailan, so she was in a good mood.
However, when she clicked in and took a look, her already pale face turned even whiter with a swish.
Fang Ruotong couldn’t believe what she was seeing, she kept refreshing the message and her eyes were bloodshot.
A few minutes later, she slammed her phone against the wall and ran out.
Fang Zhicheng and Mrs Fang were still in the living room, after all, they couldn’t get out either.
“Dad, Mom ……” Fang Ruotong couldn’t help but cry out, “I messed up, again!”
“What’s wrong what’s wrong?” Mrs. Fang hugged her in a hurry, “Tong Tong don’t cry, tell mommy, what happened?”
“Norton University!” Fang Ruotong’s voice was pressed with fear, “Wen Huilan he’s really a student at Norton University!”
She broke down, “Norton University has released the evidence and now everyone knows that I forced him to donate his bone marrow! They’re all cursing me.”
She was still just a 19 year old girl, how could she bear such abuse?
Fang Zhicheng’s hand shook and he shuddered, “What?!”
“Yo, it shall not be.” Someone walked in, it was the young agent, who had also placed a special tweet, and after looking at it, “You guys are so great, you’ve messed with another one?”
Internationally, there are three places that are recognised as places that can’t be messed with.
The first, the General Bureau of International Investigations ibi, which maintains peace.
The second, the Laurent family, who control the lifeblood of the global economy.
The third, the world’s number one university, Norton University.
All of a sudden, the Fang family had messed with two of them.
“Amazing.” The young agent clapped his hands in awe, “Norton University is very protective, you guys be careful, if you touch their students, they can really send people after you.”
Norton University was recognised as being protective.
Once, ibi had an agent who was a graduate of Norton University.
And while on a mission in Antarctica, this agent was unfortunately killed by a transnational criminal.
The first moment Norton University learned of the news, it immediately sent a cadet from the Operations Department across several continents to arrest this transnational criminal and deliver him to ibi personally.
So, unknown to the outside world, Norton University is not only number one in academia, but also in combined force, which is terribly high.
The young agent could conclude that Norton University’s president and the top bra*s were definitely on the top of those rankings on the nok forum.
Even those cadets of the SS level academy were all a bunch of madmen with exploding combat power.
Fang Zhicheng couldn’t understand what the young agent was saying at all, his ears were buzzing.
On the side, Fang Ruotong was even crying her eyes out.
Madam Fang’s body was also trembling.
“Ugh, forget it, you ignorant people, it’s justifiable that you don’t know.” The young agent shrugged his shoulders and smiled amiably, “Fang Zhicheng, it’s your turn, let’s go.”
**
Two days later, Ying Zigui dropped Wen Huilan off at the airport.
Norton University had personally sent a special plane to pick up the professor from the mechanical department for the safety of Wen Listen Lan.
This way, there was no need to change planes and take the underground.
The professor from the mechanical department who was responsible for picking up Wen Huilan came forward and shook Wen Fengmian’s hand: “Thank you, for nurturing a genius.”
“Don’t worry, the school has specially a*signed him the appropriate psychological tutor, if there is any problem relapse, you will be contacted at the first time.”
What Wen Fengmian was worried about was also this.
After hearing the professor say this, he was then completely at ease.
“Gui Gui, be well over there.” Wen Fengmian urged the teenager, “Don’t worry about dad, dad has come through all these years.”
Wen Huilan pressed the corner of his lips and gave a muffled sound, “Dad, I’ll come back as soon as I can.”
Wen Fengmian smiled faintly, “Dad is waiting for you.”
The roar sounded and the plane took off, rushing towards the clouds and soon disappeared.
Ying Ziji looked at the sky and stood for a while longer before leaving.
She sent Wen Fengmian home first, before going downstairs.
The Maserati was parked downstairs.
When she got into the pa*senger seat, Fu Yunshen looked sideways: “For the ball later, did Mu Lao already give you an invitation?”
“Yes.” Ying narrowed her eyes and yawned, “Old fox.”
Mu Heqing was able to lead the Mu family to where they were today, it wasn’t just by being bold, it was also by being wise.
Fu Yunshen raised his eyebrows, his lips hooked into a smile, “Come on, little friend, let’s go try on the dresses first.”
The place to try on the dresses was the headquarters of the Century Mall, or the highest floor.
It was too hot in summer in Shanghai, and it was stuffy even with air conditioning.
Ying Ziji thought for a long time, but reluctantly chose a black dress.
After trying it on, she found that the fit was quite to her liking and pondered: “Let’s take this one and change it over there.”
“Wait.” Fu Yunshen looked at it, “The zip is stuck in my hair.”
He looked down, hooked his fingers around the head of the zip, slowly pulled it down a little, took the hair off, and then pulled it back up for her.
Ying could clearly feel a shallow breath lightly skimming the skin at her neck, leaving a trace of residual warmth.
The emerald scent emanating from his body lingered all around her.
She lowered her eyes.
“Okay.” Fu Yunshen took a step back, and his slightly tense body finally loosened.
Ying went into the fitting room to change her dress back before carrying her bag downstairs.
The ball was held at the Queen’s Hotel, and the Century Mall was not far away, only a ten-minute drive away.
After the Maserati stopped again, Ying Ziji unbuckled her seat belt.
“Yoyo, I’ll go and park the car.” Fu Yunshen handed her a jewellery box, “You go in first.”
Ying Ziyi nods and gets out.
It’s five o’clock.
There weren’t many people coming.
So she booked a room at the Queen’s Hotel, so she could go up and sleep when she was tired.
Ying Zidian lifted the brim of her hat and went up the steps.
The waiters were ready, although the party had not yet arrived.
Today’s ball is full of noblemen and dignitaries from the imperial capital, so we can’t afford to be late.
Mu Shenzhou had arrived early and was chatting with some gentry.
With an unobtrusive glance, his eyes saw the girl outside the hotel.
She was wearing casual clothes and a baseball cap.
Long hair was cascading down, bouncing in the wind around her shoulders and waist.
It was clear that there was no deliberate embellishment, but it still made the others around her a backdrop.
Mu Shenzhou was first stunned for a moment, and then his heartlessness crinkled gently.
This ball, on the surface, only the gentry and nobility from Shanghai and the surrounding cities had come.
But in reality, it was the imperial capital side that was holding it.
The Mu family, too, was considered one of them.
So the ones invited to the banquet were naturally all famous daughters and sons.
Even the smaller families were not qualified to enter this ball, let alone an adopted daughter who had already left the Ying family?
“You.” Mu Shenzhou didn’t look at the girl anymore, he waved his hand lightly and said to a waiter, “Tell her that she can’t come in here.”
Chapter 230
Mu Shenzhou did not see anything wrong with this approach of his.
Originally, the prerequisite to attend this ball was the origin of the gentry.
Before the ball, the list of the big and small gentry, Mrs. Mu also took a copy of it from the family side to him.
There was the Ying family.
However, only Zhong Manhua, Ying Yuexuan and Ying Tianlv were invited.
Ying Zhending was not in Shanghai and could not come back, so he was not included in the list.
Naturally, Zhong Manhua was the one who submitted the names of the Ying family.
At that time, Mu Shenzhou wondered how Zhong Manhua could have left out Ying Zidian if she was so well liked by the Zhong family.
Then he found out from Zhong Manhua that the Ying family had expelled Ying Zidian.
As an adopted daughter, she had left the Ying family and was no longer a part of Shanghai’s high society.
Not to mention that a banner had been put up at the entrance of the Queen’s Hotel, so there was no way that Ying could not see that the place was closed for the night.
Of course, if this was a ball hosted by the gentry in Shanghai, it was none of his business who came in.
But it was about the imperial capital, and there was absolutely no room for chaos.
After the waiter looked in the direction Mu Shenzhou pointed, he first froze for a moment, a little unsure, “Is that the lady?”
“It’s her.” Mu Shenzhou nodded, “If she doesn’t come in, you don’t have to care.”
The waiter had just answered, when he saw the girl had walked down the hall to follow her.
The gla*s door was automatic, and opened automatically when it sensed someone.
As soon as the waiter remembered Mu Shenzhou’s instructions, he stepped forward and blocked the doorway, “This young lady, this place is being held and is full of some big shots, you can’t go in.”
Ying Ziji’s steps gave a beat as she first looked at the waiter.
Afterwards, her gaze fell on Mu Shenzhou, who was five or six metres away in front of her.
It was only a moment, not even a second, before she withdrew her gaze.
Mu Shenzhou, however, keenly noticed the very light and faint glance that the girl gave him.
It was as if she knew everything.
Mu Shenzhou wrinkled his eyebrows and simply walked out.
He was polite and courteous, but his tone was detached: “I told him to do it, if you have any grievances you can come at me, there’s no need to make things difficult for a part-time worker.”
He knew that Ying could strike at the drop of a hat.
“You’re joking.” Ying Zidian looked up, and for the first time, she was paying attention to Mu Shenzhou, her voice was still the usual cold and slow, “Losing your temper hurts your body, there’s no need.”
Naturally, Mu Shenzhou could not have missed the implication of these words.
He was not yet worthy of making her lose her temper.
Having lived in the imperial capital for so long, Mu Shenzhou had naturally come into contact with many famous daughters.
But there really wasn’t one that spoke like Ying Ziji.
“You know there’s going to be a ball here, right?” Mu Shenzhou pointed to the vertical sign next to him, “I’m asking you to go out now with good intentions, at least there aren’t many people now.”
“When the ball opens and the invitations are checked, you will be thrown out if you don’t have one.”
Mu Shenzhou said this in a not too loud voice, so that the few gentry he had spoken to earlier could hear it too.
They looked over curiously, and when their eyes swept over to the girl, they were all inevitably awestruck.
One of them came over, “Young Master Mu, this is?”
“Not anyone.” Mu Shenzhou’s voice was light, “Trying to take advantage of the fact that no one is watching at this time of day to muddle in.”
When the male heard this, he also shook his head, “Little sister, this ball today is not just a ball, it’s quite important, if it was a different one, I could still take you to see the world.”
Several people were standing in the doorway and it was hard not to be noticed.
“Mum, isn’t that a sister?” Outside the door, Ying Yuexuan, who was walking up the steps, suddenly tugged on Zhong Manhua’s sleeve, “She seems to have been stopped?”
The smile on Zhong Manhua’s face froze in an instant: “What?”
After she looked over, she really saw the person she least expected to see.
It wasn’t that there weren’t people asking her about Ying Zidian, most of them were curious noblewomen.
She was too proud to let the other families know that Ying Zidian had dumped them and left the Ying family.
She saw that Ying Zidian would not come back despite all her efforts.
So she told the others that it was the Ying family who had expelled Ying Zidian.
“If you stop it, you get stopped.” Zhong Manhua was cold, “What do you care so much for?”
However, before she could finish these latter words, Ying Yuexuan had already quickened her pace and gone inside.
“Young Master Mu, my sister followed us here, only we went shopping and she came first.” Ying Yuexuan looked at Mu Shenzhou with an unkind look, “It didn’t say in the beginning that you couldn’t bring anyone else, did it? What do you mean by that?”
Mu Shenzhou was stunned, “Is it really following you ……”
“No.” Zhong Manhua hurried in and interrupted him, “I didn’t bring her.”
Ying Yuexuan’s expression changed, “Mom!”
“Shenzhou, you don’t have to worry about us.” Zhong Manhua raised her hand to stop Ying Yuexuan, “If I had brought her here, I would have added her to the list when I gave you the list.”
“So.” Mu Shenzhou thought for a moment, his gaze falling back on the girl, his meaning clear.
“Then I’ll give my invitation to my sister.” Ying Yuexuan pursed her lips and took out her copy of the invitation, “I’m not much of a dancer anyway, so I won’t-”
“Little friend, what a charm.” There was a lazy voice coming from behind, not too loud but easily overshadowing Ying Yuexuan’s words, with a smile, “I’ve only been gone for a few minutes and you’ve attracted quite a few men and women.”
“Yo, Seventh Younger.” The gigolo from earlier looked uplifted, “Long time no see, why are you here this time?”
Fu Yunshen just nodded towards him, not saying anything.
He walked over to the girl and lifted his right hand: “Your bag.”
Ying Ziji took her backpack from Fu Yunshen’s hand and put it on her back.
Then she reached out and took out a white piece of cardboard from inside, her voice was muted: “No, I have an invitation.”
All eyes converged on her hand.
That was indeed the invitation for this ball, only it looked even more exquisite.
Mu Shenzhou’s pupils shrank even more.
He was so close that he could clearly see that at the bottom of the invitation was the word “Mu” written in a dragon’s flight.
Above this character, there was also a small red seal.
This was something that was not found on other invitations.
Mu Shenzhou had never met Mu Heqing, but he had never met his signature and personal seal.
This invitation in Ying Ziji’s hand was actually given by Mu Heqing himself?
Mu Shenzhou’s mind stood still for a moment, unable to react.
Ying Yuexuan also froze, and it was only after a long time that she put the invitation back in her hand: “So sister has it.”
Ying Zidian didn’t reply to her, nor did she see Mu Shenzhou, and after putting the invitation away, she walked straight past.
Fu Yunshen’s gaze swept faintly and followed her.
“Wait!” Mu Shenzhou didn’t hold back, “You know my grandfather? Why did he give you an invitation?”
Once these words came out, everyone around, including Zhong Manhua and Ying Yuexuan, was stunned.
Who in China didn’t know Mu Heqing’s great name?
Ying Ziji, who knew Mu Heqing?
If she knew Mu Heqing, would she still be here in Shanghai?
If she knew Mu Heqing, would she still be in Shanghai?
Ying Zidian didn’t stop, she walked to the front desk and handed out her phone, “Booked yesterday, Presidential Suite 908, surnamed Ying.”
The lady at the counter also kept an eye on the movement at the door, and when she saw the girl approaching, she jerked up, “Hello, this is for you.”
She quickly checked the order information, quickly took out the room card and handed it out.
Seeing the girl ignore him, Mu Shenzhou gently pursed his lips.
“Ma.” Ying Yuexuan was also a little confused, “How did my sister come by the invitation?”
The Zhong family had refused the ball, and no one had even come.
“Master Fu and that highly respected family head of the Mu family are sort of forgettable friends.” Zhong Manhua thought for a moment, “I heard that, in the past, Master Fu had been saved by him, so taking two invitations is nothing.”
Hearing these words, Mu Shenzhou sighed softly, while his heart loosened.
The seventh young master of the Fu family, Fu Yunshen.
Ying Zigui, this is all you have left.
When the other boys saw that it was a farce, they laughed and joked for a few minutes, and then dispersed.
However, the way they looked at Mu Shenzhou was not right.
Even the invitation in Mu Shenzhou’s hand was not written by Mu Heqing.
Ying Yuexuan accompanied Zhong Manhua to go inside.
After another moment, the automatic door opened.
Someone walked in.
It was Ying Tianru.
He was still slightly out of breath and had obviously come in a hurry.
“Brother -” after seeing the visitor, Ying Yuexuan was happy and beckoned, “We’re here.”
And as if hearing her voice, Ying Tianru, who was looking around, took a step and came towards her.
Ying Yuexuan hadn’t seen Ying Tianru for almost half a month, so she was inevitably excited to see him.
Zhong Manhua’s face also smiled: “Xiao Xuan, I’ve told you, your big brother is just busy, he’ll come over when he’s done.”
Ying Yuexuan’s eyesight was also extremely good, and she saw the bag Ying Tianru was carrying in her hand at a glance, and was even more surprised: “Brother, how do you know I like this dessert?”
“Sorry.” Ying Tianru’s expression gave a pause, but his steps didn’t stop, he walked past Ying Yuexuan and arrived in front of Ying Zigui.
He handed over the bag in his hand, his expression still guilty: “D**key, I heard Grandpa say you like desserts, so I drove to Lin City to buy them, and bought one of each, see if they suit your taste.”
