Chapter 249
The girl wears a baseball cap, white short sleeves and dark blue jeans.
Her legs were long and straight, her skin as white as jade and almost transparent.
It was the most ordinary outfit on the street, but she still possessed an attraction that made people notice her at once.
The girl was not wearing sungla*ses or a mask, and she was coming face to face, so Mu Shenzhou could naturally see her clearly.
It was a face that was stunning to the extreme.
Mu Shenzhou frowned.
As soon as he returned to the capital, how come Ying Zidian had also come to the capital?
The Ying family didn’t have any relatives in the capital, so what was she doing here?
Madam Mu noticed the change in his expression and turned her head, following his gaze: “What’s wrong?”
She had seen the girl too, but Madame Mu had long forgotten who Ying Zidian was.
She had never been one to remember people who were not important.
“Saw someone I knew.” Mu Shenzhou said, “Mum, I’ll go and say hello.”
After saying that, he walked up, polite, courteous and detached: “Miss Ying, we meet again, are you here in the imperial capital for something?”
However, the girl did not answer.
She didn’t even glance at him, as if she didn’t know him at all.
It was also as if she hadn’t heard his words and just walked past him like that.
Mu Shenzhou’s hand froze in mid-air, neither closing nor raising it, and his expression was awkward for a moment.
“Who is this?” Madam Mu’s face sank, “You gave her a greeting, why is she ignoring you?”
Even the young girls from the Nie and Xiu families didn’t give Mu Shenzhou such a face.
“Ying Zidian.” Mu Shenzhou sighed, slightly helpless, “It should be that she’s still angry about the auction that day.”
He was really reminding her.
If he hadn’t spoken out in advance, the Dream Family’s tactics would have been even more vicious.
How would Ying Ziji cope?
Unfortunately, she thought that with Fu Yunshen around, she had enough strength.
Madam Mu pondered for a few seconds before it dawned on her, “So it’s her.”
After a pause, she looked light: “There are many good-looking people, the most important thing for you now is to pa*s the examination, when you become the real heir of the Mu family, even some foreign families will extend invitations for marriage, there is no need to waste attention on an adopted daughter.”
Only that face of Ying Zigui did attract men.
Not to mention men, even women would be moved by it
Madam Mu also had to remind Mu Shenzhou, lest he fall into it.
As for what Ying Zidian was doing in the imperial capital, it had nothing to do with them.
“It’s not like she’ll be in charge of your examination.” Madam Mu added, “We have to make a trip to the Dream Family’s side later.”
**
The Fu family.
Master Fu went out after dinner.
After his health had improved, he would often go out for a walk.
However, he still liked going to play chess with Elder Zhong the most.
Even though Elder Zhong liked to bet him out of the door, he still enjoyed it.
There are not many of them left in their generation.
When Master Ying and Master Jiang were still around, they could still get together to play mahjong.
Now, they can only play chess.
After Zhong Zhiyan had gone abroad, the Zhong family was quite empty, so Master Fu stopped by for a few days.
Master Zhong had already set up the chess board and when he saw him coming, he beckoned, “Old man Fu, come, sit down and see how I can kill you without leaving you behind.”
Old man Fu sat down slowly with his hands behind his back, “It’s not certain who will kill whom.”
The two men were playing Go.
Master Fu chose the black piece, and after picking up the first piece, he did not play for a long time.
After a long time, he spoke, “Old man Zhong, it’s been months, and I really can’t believe that I can be so healthy to play chess with you here.”
Old Master Fu had actually always known that it was not an illness that he had, but a poison.
This poison wouldn’t kill him immediately, but it would eat away at his body every day, depleting his longevity.
Even he himself did not think that he would be able to last twenty years.
Elder Fu was silent for a moment and smiled again, “I don’t know how much longer I can live either.”
“Roll on roll on.” Elder Zhong didn’t like it anymore, “Don’t say such demoralising things in the middle of the night, you’re only eighty-five, you can still live for at least twenty years.”
“I mean it.” Master Fu said as he played chess, “You are strong and healthy, you will definitely live longer than me.
“Who cares about your brat.” Elder Zhong grunted and was about to say something when his phone rang.
He glanced at it and was pleased.
“Eh, Ziji called me on the video, Old Man Fu, come over and take a look too.”
As soon as he heard the name, Old Man Fu’s ears perked up.
He pretended to be invited and sat down beside Elder Zhong.
The girl’s voice was clear and cold: “Grandfather.”
She paused, “Grandpa Fu is here too?”
Elder Fu sat up straight at once: “Hey, yes, Ziggy, I’ve come to see your grandfather to play chess.”
“Go aside, I’m just letting you watch.” Master Zhong discontentedly took the phone away, “D**key, how’s it going in Imperial City?”
He asked a lot and Ying Zidian answered all of them.
“My granddaughter is great, isn’t she?” Master Zhong bragged as he video chatted, “She went to an international competition called isc, in the whole of China, there are only six places.”
Master Fu nodded his head repeatedly, “Yes, old man Zhong, your granddaughter is amazing.”
What he was thinking was: “Nonsense, the granddaughter-in-law I’m interested in, can she not be amazing?
Of course, Old Master Fu still didn’t say this out loud.
Master Zhong was also unaware of the small calculations in Master Fu’s mind, and was extremely happy to be praised: “My IQ is not high, but my granddaughter is, old man Fu, are you jealous?”
Old man Fu nodded again, “Jealous.”
What he was thinking was still: he wasn’t jealous at all, sooner or later she would be his granddaughter-in-law anyway.
“But not your brat.” Master Zhong was smug, “Look, he wouldn’t be able to enter any competitions.”
Master Fu nodded once more, “Right, right, right.”
What he was thinking was still: so what, it would be good to abduct his grandson-in-law back.
As Master Zhong was about to hit Master Fu, a low voice with a smile rang out from the phone, “Grandpa Zhong, it’s not decent to speak ill of others.”
After his eyes returned to the screen, Master Zhong’s heart muscle almost infarcted again, he covered his heart: “Why are you also here?
What do you mean by a shadowy spirit?
This is it!
Fu Yunshen was lazy: “Bodyguard.”
Master Zhong: “……”
He hung up the phone decisively and snapped it on the table.
Elder Fu grinned, trying hard to hold back his laughter.
Then he excused himself to go to the bathroom, took out his phone, liked Fu Yunshen’s circle of friends one by one, and left a message.
[Xiao Qi, well done!]
**
The Imperial Capital.
Ying Ziji raised his eyebrows and drew back his own phone, “I told you, his old man has a lot of resentment towards you.”
“I can explain.” Fu Yunshen’s hand on the steering wheel twitched, “I really didn’t want to take his old man’s place.”
Ying Ziyi yawned, “You even made me drink wolfberry and red dates tea this morning, elderly behaviour.”
Fu Yunshen also raised his eyebrows: “A few days ago I was a child, now I’m an old man?”
“Mentally, you’re a little kid, in life, you’re an old man.”
“……”
That sounded like there was no way to refute it.
“This is a training camp.” Fu Yunshen stopped the car, “I won’t go in, if something comes up, call me.”
After a pause, he asked again, “What day do you have an appointment with the patient?”
“This weekend.” Ying unbuckled her seat belt, “We’ll see how it goes then.”
She got out of the car and didn’t bring her suitcase, just a backpack.
Daily necessities and clothes can all be bought here.
After giving Fu Yunshen a medicine bottle, Ying Zidian walked in towards the training camp.
This time, not only the six candidates for the international competition, but also six other outstanding students were invited.
Qingzhi High School originally wanted to give another training camp place to Ying Yuexuan, but she declined, so it fell to the first of the senior two talent cla*s.
There will be twelve people, divided into four groups.
Each of three, led by a professor, will have a series of competitions when the time comes.
It was not a long training session, just a month.
Because the secondary schools affiliated to the Imperial University and Qingzhi Secondary School were the strongest, Ying Zidian and two other students were a*signed to one group.
The other two students had seen Ying Zidian’s results.
Although this was just training, it was also about honour.
They were reluctant to be put in a team with someone whose grades were extremely inconsistent.
As soon as the two students arrived at the training camp, they went to the flat where the professors were staying.
Zuo Li was one of the four professors sent by the Imperial University this time, and he was on duty tonight.
One of the students hesitated for a moment but spoke up: “Professor Zuo, can you switch us to another group? Or switch Ying Ziyi out.”
Hearing this, Zuo Li put down his pen and looked at the two.
Chapter 250
His expression was serious: “Feng Yue, Teng Yun Meng, are you sure you want to switch groups?”
“Actually, we’re planning to switch at all.” Feng Yue sighed, “It was Teacher Meng, she said that Ying Zidian’s results weren’t true and asked us to change, we couldn’t resist her so we came.”
Teacher Meng, the other teacher from the secondary school affiliated to the Imperial University who had checked Ying Zidian’s results with Teacher Mo yesterday.
Only then did Zuo Li remember that Ying Zidian’s previous grades were really unbearable.
It was understandable that the teacher, Meng, thought so, as she hadn’t been in contact with Ying Zidian after all.
“It’s a bit of a problem to change groups, because the professor has already been a*signed.” Zuo Li pondered for a moment, “This way, when Ying Zidian arrives, you guys can discuss it.”
“Forget it, no change.” Teng Yun Meng shook her head, “It’s not like Ms Meng has ever met Ying Zidian, and she’s just her own opinion. Even if Ying Zidian’s grades really aren’t good, we can both take her.”
“It’s not good for her to change groups at this time.”
Even if they didn’t really think that Ying Zidian was dragging her feet, that’s what the act meant in the eyes of others.
Feng Yue patted his chest, “Right, we’ll take her.”
If they asked about it when they got back, they would say that they had begged Zuo Li for half a day and couldn’t change.
They couldn’t be blamed for that.
He was so witty.
Zuo Li suddenly sneezed, he rubbed his nose and muttered, “Who’s scolding me.”
Feng Yue hurriedly collected his expression to prevent Zuo Li from seeing anything.
Zuo Li didn’t care either, he coughed lightly and looked more serious, “Then you must take her well.”
“I’m really bothering Professor Zuo.” Teng Yun Meng nodded, “We’ll just go back first.”
Zuo Li waved his hand, gesturing for them to do whatever they wanted.
Only after the two of them left did he take out his phone and send a WeChat to Ying Ziyi.
[Have you arrived at the training camp yet?
Ten minutes later, there was a reply.
[Just entered the flat.
Because there were only 12 students in total, Imperial University had prepared the best rooms.
Each person had a room, with a private bathroom and a kitchen, comparable to a five-star hotel.
On the roof of the flat, there was also a large open-air garden.
[I just remembered, I have a very puzzling point, you said that I asked you to become a professor at the Imperial University and you didn’t want to, saying that you were tired, wouldn’t you be tired of attending isc? Why did you still come?
Zuo Li had seen that open Q&A session with Qingzhi with his own eyes, and a few months later, his impression was still very deep.
If there was anyone in China who could come out on top in the international final of the isc, it was none other than Ying Zigui.
In his opinion, the isc was difficult, but not too far from the level of the real bigwigs in academia – after all, it was for high school students.
But the total process of the isc is over eight months, and it’s a real ha*sle.
[Because the headmaster is about to run out of hair.]
[????]
But Zuo Li also understood.
It was because the headmaster of Qingzhi High School had requested it that Ying Zigui was coming.
He couldn’t help but send another sentence.
[To be honest, I’m also about to lose my hair. You know that in this line of physics, it’s easy to lose your hair, can you come to Di Du University for the sake of my hairlessness?
The first time I saw a student, I was really afraid that he would be cut off by Norton University again.
After Wen Huilan went to Norton University last month, the admissions department was so angry that they attacked people indiscriminately, and he was also scolded.
[I have hair growth shampoo here, the normal selling price is 188, Professor Zuo, we know a game, you can buy one and get one free, within seven days of invalidation, you can also apply for a refund.
【???]
Zuo Li felt that it was a little difficult for him and Ying Zigui to carry on this chat.
The person in front of him was not an academic big shot, but a Taobao customer service.
He replied breathlessly.
[Okay, I won’t bother you anymore, you take an early rest.
After sending this sentence, Zuo Li sat in front of his computer and proceeded to solve a physics problem.
After finishing it, he didn’t hold back and picked up his phone again.
The first thing you need to do is to buy one and get one free, ten bottles is 940 right?
[[Red Packet]]
**
Inside the flat.
After receiving the red packet, Ying Ziji sent Zuo Li’s name and address to Shao Ren Hospital.
Anyway, whether it was the hair growth shampoo or the pills for kidney deficiency, they were all produced over at Shao Ren Hospital, and she was only responsible for providing the medicine list.
These two, sold the best.
Ying Ziji tied her hair up with a leather band and prepared to go to the bathroom to take a shower.
The door was knocked on at this time.
She got up and went to open the door.
Outside the door was a baby-faced girl wearing the uniform of the secondary school affiliated to Teito University.
Upon seeing her, the girl gaped for a moment.
Then she reached out her hand and pinched herself so hard that she couldn’t help but suck in a breath of pain.
Teng Yun Meng also goes online during her studies, and although she doesn’t follow stars, she likes to watch good-looking celebrities.
But she had seen so many, but none of them had the same impact as this face in front of her.
Especially up close, face to face, the beauty was overwhelming.
It was as if the petals were falling from the cherry blossoms sinking from the branches.
Teng Yunmeng took a step back, and only after a few seconds did she take a breath and extend her hand: “Hello, Ying Zidian, I’m Teng Yunmeng, your group member.”
Ying Zidian shook her hand and nodded, “Hello.”
“Sorry, cla*smate Ying Zidian.” Teng Yunmeng was guilty, “You probably don’t know that we even went to Professor Zuo just now and said we wanted to change groups, although it wasn’t our intention, we still almost hurt you.”
Ying Zigui nodded slightly, “I can understand, I did study badly before.”
She had originally come to Earth 17 years ago.
Although she was the one who hadn’t fully regained consciousness at that time, it was still her.
“But we didn’t switch in the end,” Teng Yun Meng was happy to see that she didn’t take it personally, “Training will take a month, let’s exchange contact information.”
“Okay.”
Ying Ziji opened WeChat and tapped out the two-dimensional code.
Teng Yunmeng took out her phone to scan it.
Then she scanned to the payment screen, “……”
She looked up slyly, “Ying, this?”
“Sorry.” Ying Ziyou pressed her head, “I’m used to clicking.”
She turned off the QR code and reopened the other one.
“With a ding, the two added friends.
“I’m right next door.” Teng Yun Meng said, “You’re from Shanghai and not very familiar with the imperial capital, so you can ask me directly if you need anything, don’t worry, it won’t affect my studies because I really don’t like studying much.”
Probably some geniuses all had one thing in common, they could learn casually.
“You’re welcome.” Ying Ziji folded back into the room and took out two boxes from his backpack, “It’s for you.”
Teng Yun Meng took them and squealed, “Aaaaaaahhhh this is a whitening mask under Flower Thinking, D**key you’re too quick!”
“Hmm?” Ying Zidian tilted his head, “What?”
Hua Xiangrong is a cosmetic company under Shao Ren Hospital, after the poem “The clouds want clothes and flowers want to look good”.
“I made an appointment, but I couldn’t get one at all.” Teng Yun Meng excitedly grabbed the girl’s hand, “But this gift is too expensive, I can’t take it.”
With that, she pushed back two more boxes of whitening masks.
“It’s alright, just take them.” Ying Ziji was casual, “Didn’t you say, you were going to introduce me to the emperor?”
Anyway, she still had a few boxes in her bedroom.
It was just that she felt heavy and didn’t bring them with her.
“No no, this box is not cheap.” Teng Yun Meng took out her phone and sent over a red packet, “We have another group member called Feng Yue, he’s over at the boys’ flat, so I’ll see you tomorrow.”
She secretly clenched her fist, she decided, she must take Ying Zigui well.
This was the face row of their group.
**
Within two days, the other students arrived one by one.
Out of the twelve, there were five girls in total.
But apart from Ying Zidian and Teng Yunmeng, the remaining three girls did not have a place in the international competition and were only sent by the school for training.
On the third day, the last girl arrived late.
She was wearing a burerry t-shirt and chanel cla*sic lambskin waistband shorts.
The sungla*ses she was wearing were gucci and the bag she was carrying was Hermes.
The whole body was covered in luxury brands, so many that it was blinding.
The girl was followed by several other people, one holding an umbrella for her and the other two helping her carry her luggage.
The two men put the luggage in front of the flat and left.
“Ah!” Teng Yun Meng stared at the girl’s face, which was half covered by sungla*ses, for a few seconds and suddenly said, “I remember, she’s Xiu Yan.”
Ying did not bother to look as she pressed the brim of her hat, “Never heard of it.”
“A star who hasn’t long debuted, but is really quite hot.” Teng Yun Meng said, “She was second in Youth 101, but because she’s the eldest girl of the Xiu family, she’s now the c-suite, and the captain can only stand aside.”
Hearing these words, Ying Ziyi then turned her head.
“It just so happens that someone is there.” Xiu Yan took off her sungla*ses and lifted her chin, “You two, carry my suitcase up.”
