Chapter 343
The first to arrive were a couple of waiters.
They had a dozen bags in each hand, and after struggling to put them in the box, they retreated.
Jiang Yan’s body trembled as he saw his cousin walk in.
It was a girl, definitely not more than twenty years old.
Her complexion was extremely white, and she had nice almond eyes with long, thin, fluttering ciliary feathers.
It was a very pleasant look to behold.
The flowering trees were piled with snow and the crescent moon was glowing.
In this society nowadays, it is hard to find eyes as flawless as hers.
Ying Zidian propped his chin up in thought.
How could such a girl still be avoided by both Jiang Yan and Xiu Yu?
She kinda liked it.
“Ahem, to introduce, this is my humble niece-” Ling Chonglou coughed lightly, “Ling Mianxi, the same age as you, Ziggy, and Xiao Yu and Yun Shen have known each other for a long time, so I won’t introduce her. ”
Nie Chao was quite surprised.
He didn’t know either, so why wasn’t he introduced?
Ling Mianxi hugged Ling Chonglou and was very well behaved: “Hello uncle.”
She went to hug Jiang Ping again, “Hello sister Ping. ”
Jiang Yan: “……”
He forgot.
Apart from Xiu Yu spoiling his mother, there was also Ling Mianxi.
Ling Mianxi let go of Jiang Painting Screen and narrowed her eyes slightly as her eyes swept over to Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan clenched his fists and subconsciously had to run.
But it was too late.
His cousin had arrived in front of him in a flash.
“Little Ren Ren has grown taller again.” Ling Mianxi rubbed his face, turning it into dough, “This figure, this look, will definitely bring me back a bunch of younger siblings.”
Jiang Yan’s face was expressionless, but he couldn’t resist, so he could only endure Ling Mianxi’s ravages.
After Ling Mianxi finished ravaging him, his gaze fell on Xiu Yu’s body again.
Xiu Yu only felt a chill run through his body.
“Little Yu Yu.” The next second, Ling Mianxi came over and rubbed her face as well, “Little Yu Yu you’ve grown taller too.”
Xiu Yu’s face was expressionless and she sneered through clenched teeth, “Ling Mianxi, I’m bigger than you!”
Smaller, my a*s.
“All the same same.” Ling Mianxi raised her hand and compared their heights, “Look, I’m that much taller than you, and I’m not even wearing high heels.”
Xiu Yu: “……”
ok.
She is 1.7m, Ling Mianxi is 1.73m, she is a little bit taller.
Ying Zidian: “……”
She could probably understand why Jiang Yan and Xiu Yu had that look on their faces.
Ying Ziji paused, ready to lower her presence a little.
But it was no use.
“Beauty!” Ling Mianxi’s eyes lit up, and as soon as she wrapped the girl in a hug, she plopped down on her chest, “Seeking adoption!”
Ying Ziji fell silent.
She had never seen a “creature” like Ling Mianxi before.
Fu Yunshen glanced at Ling Mianxi, he smiled as if he was smiling, and the warning in his slightly curved peach blossom eyes was very strong: “Take your hands off.”
He hadn’t even hugged her, and Ling Mianxi was really good enough.
Ling Mianxi looked up, a little reluctantly, but took it down when she saw it was Fu Yunshen speaking.
Her gaze glanced between the man and the girl, and her expression was serious: “I see, you-”
Fu Yunshen spoke, “Shut your mouth too.”
“……”
Ling Mianxi decisively stopped talking as she clung on, “Beauty, when the time comes that he’s no longer around, we’ll discuss the philosophical meaning of life.”
After saying that, Ling Mianxi gave Fu Yunshen a wary look and spared past him.
The only person left who hadn’t been hugged was Nie Chao, apart from Fu Yunshen.
When he saw that Ling Mianxi was heading his way, Nie Chao cleared his throat, looked serious, and straightened his dress code.
In front of the beauty, he had to leave a good impression.
He hadn’t had a girlfriend for a long time, and all those little family millennials and 18th-tier actresses who craved his body had been pawned off on the bodyguards Nie had sent back.
He’d forgotten what it was like to talk to the opposite sex.
The girl carried herself, even the big man she had thrown herself at, he might be able to get one too?
Nie Chao also felt deeply that he had to listen to his brother.
Girlfriend, he should raise one out of himself.
At that moment, Ling Mianxi stopped in front of him.
Nie Chao was all set, just waiting to please the beauty.
But before he could act on it, he heard three words that broke his heart and soul.
Ling Mianxi said, “Call sister-in-law.”
“……”
“……”
“……”
Inside the box.
There was an eerie silence.
Jiang Yan’s chopsticks once again fell onto the table with a clatter.
Of course he knew Nie Yi.
Nie Yi also trained in the ancient martial world, and his cultivation level was not low.
But who could tell him when Nie Yi had gotten involved with this devil cousin of his?
Fu Yun raised his deep eyebrows, “I said, I asked him who his little girlfriend was, but he never said anything, so it was you.”
It wasn’t that it was incomprehensible.
But Nie Chao went straight to mad.
“Crap!!!” Nie Chao let out a pig-killing scream as he sat on his butt, his expression could be called horrified, “You you you-”
Seeing this reaction from him, Ling Mianxi took out a mirror and looked at it, “Am I that scary?”
She moved closer, squatted down and patted Nie Chao’s face, “Really, you and little Yiyi have one father and one mother, why are the two brothers so different?”
“Ah!!!” Nie Chao let out another miserable scream as he backed up desperately with both hands and feet, “Don’t you come over, don’t come over!”
Ling Mianxi shrugged and really just didn’t go over, sitting down on the other side of the river painting screen.
Ling Chonglou looked at her with a smile, “Did you catch up?”
Ling Mianxi rested her chin on her hands: “Even if I didn’t get it, I did.”
Ling Chonglou didn’t ask any more questions, “Let’s start eating.”
There was no such thing as an adult not being an adult within the ancient martial world.
He would not interfere in the affairs of the juniors either.
As soon as he heard that he could eat, Jiang Yan instantly lost his fear of being ruled by Ling Mianxi.
He picked up his chopsticks and began to eat his food with great speed.
Nie Chao shivered as he climbed out of the box and sent a WeChat to Nie Yi.
[Big, big brother, how old is my sister-in-law?
There was no reply.
Nie Chao gritted his teeth and continued to send.
[You’re f*cking heartless, why are you even more shameless than Seventh Younger? How old are you? You’re twenty-seven, right? How old is that girl? Is she 18? Don’t you know you’re eating young gra*s?
This time, Nie Yi finally replied, sending him back a string of ellipses.
[……]
Nie Chao was even more furious and sent again.
[I’m going to tell grandpa about this, so he can sanction you, what a nice little girl, she’s ruined in your hands.
As soon as he sent this message, a red exclamation mark popped up in front of it.
A box popped up below, warmly reminding him-
[Nie Yi has turned on friend verification, you are not yet his or her friend, please send a friend verification request first, after the other party has pa*sed the verification, then you can chat. [Send friend verification]]
Nie Chao instantly felt like he was out of it.
He went back to the box bitterly, with no energy to dry his meal.
On the contrary, Jiang Yan had been eating cheerfully.
Ling Chonglou had brought ingredients with him this time to Shanghai City, ingredients that would help ancient martial artists cultivate and ordinary people eat to prolong their lives.
Nie Chao was lying on the table and just wanted to cry.
At that moment, his head was patted.
Nie Chao looked up in confusion and met Ling Mianxi’s “loving” gaze.
She put a chicken leg into his bowl: “Good boy, don’t be sad, sister-in-law is giving you a chicken leg.”
“……”

On the other side.
Meng Ru took Ying Yuexuan to a fancy western restaurant.
She had regained her original noble elegance, and at the same time was quite unimpressed.
It was only two high school girls who were not afraid of the tiger that dared to talk about her like that.
How could those who had stepped into high society behave like that?
To put it bluntly, the ignorant are fearless.
Inside the Western restaurant.
That professor from the Computer Science Department of the Imperial Capital University had already arrived.
Meng Ru had also had a hard time inviting him, after all, the Yuan family did not have many exchanges with the academic world.
This professor was also on a business trip to Shanghai City and it was hard to free up such a period of time.
“Hello, Professor Li.” Meng Ru handed over a gift, “This is the student I mentioned to you.”
Ying Yuexuan was also busy greeting, “Professor Li.”
“Have a seat.” Professor Li was kind, “Have a meal first and we’ll talk about things later.”
Meng Ru nodded and beckoned the waiter to order.
“There are too few talents in computers nowadays.” Professor Li chatted with Meng Ru, “Last time that honorary professor in our department personally went to look for a student, but unfortunately he was rejected.”
Meng Ru was surprised, “Rejected? I wonder who it was?”
There was only one honorary professor in each department at Imperial University, a task that even a top-notch big family like the Mu family had to respect.
There was actually someone who would refuse?
But whether one refused or not, a person who could be personally invited by an honorary professor was someone the Yuan family could not afford to climb high.
“That’s nothing that can’t be said.” Professor Li smiled, “His name is Wen Listen Lan, he is the top student of this year’s entrance examination in Shanghai City, and also the top student of the national paper.”
“Snapped.”
Ying Yuexuan’s hand shook and dropped her chopsticks on the floor.
Meng Ru looked over.
Chapter 344
She frowned: “What’s wrong with you?”
She had brought Ying Yuexuan to meet the professor of the Imperial University, how could she lose her temper like that?
“No, it’s nothing, I’m just surprised.” Ying Yuexuan picked her chopsticks up and smiled, “This student that Professor Li is talking about is from Qingzhi, I’m just surprised that he still has computer talent.”
“No, no, no.” Professor Li spoke, “It’s not that he still has computer talent, it’s that he was already an all-round genius, not just the honorary professor of the computer department went, but other departments too.”
Ying Yuexuan’s smile narrowed little by little.
With these words, although Professor Li did not target her, but only explained, she felt a pang in her heart.
She recalled a saying –
You guys take ninety because the strength is there, and I can take full marks because the paper only has full marks.
Meng Ru was even more surprised: “He didn’t go to Imperial University? Then where did he go?”
qs world university ranking, empire city university this year ranked eleventh.
However, several majors such as physics and automation at Teito University are among the top in the world.
Basically, all the top students from all over the country go to Teito University.
And the honorary professors are personally invited ah, once you enter the Imperial University, that doctoral qualification is secure.
“He’s gone to Norton University, they value him there too, special planes to transport him.” Professor Li shook his head and laughed, “If it were any other university, Imperial University would still be fighting for it.”
Meng Ru shuddered and couldn’t help but take a breath backwards.
Norton University!
This was a place that you couldn’t even go to if you wanted to.
After the three of them finished eating, Meng Ru took out the program that Ying Yuexuan had made up and handed it to Professor Li.
Professor Li looked at it, “It’s indeed OK, but obviously it’s been exposed to less and needs more practice.”
He put his card down and said, “In March next year, the computer department will have an interview, remember to come then.”
Meng Ru didn’t expect things to go so smoothly and was pleasantly surprised, “I’ll trouble Professor Li.”
The Yuan family’s juniors weren’t bad learners, but they weren’t program playing material.
Professor Li nodded, picked up his briefcase and left.
Meng Ru finished the check and headed out, when she suddenly asked, “You and Wen Huilan went to the same school, do you know her?”
Ying Yuexuan pursed her lips and shook her head, “When he graduated, I was still over in O Chau, so I don’t know her.”
Meng Ru didn’t ask any further.
It was true.
There were more than a thousand students in one year at Qingzhi, so it was impossible for Ying Yuexuan to know everyone.
Meng Ru couldn’t help but sigh: “Norton University, we can only look up to such geniuses, we can’t afford to climb high.”
Ying Yuexuan’s fingers squeezed a little tighter.
Can’t afford it?
She knew that when Zhong Manhua and Ying Zhending had gone to Qing Shui County to look for Wen Fengmian and Wen Hailan, they had dumped 100,000 yuan, and the words were all about despising them.
Qing Shui County was a poor county and was not yet out of poverty.
But now, Wen Listen Lan had entered Norton University.
What would Zhong Manhua think if she found out?
Not being able to befriend Wen Listenlan through Ying Yuexuan, Meng Ru was at best a little regretful and talked about business: “After you finish your final exams on January 15th, come with me to the imperial capital, your grades are very good and you don’t need to take extra cla*ses.”
“When the time comes, ask your mother to go to school and ask for a leave of absence for you.”
Ying Yuexuan nodded.
She got into the car and slowly exhaled a breath.
In any case, Meng Ru and the Yuan family behind her would no longer be taken out of sight by Ying Zigui.
**
Drunkenly drinking at Maple Grove.
Inside the box.
Jiang Yan burped after eating the last plate clean, finally getting comfortable.
Alone, he had finished half of the table’s dishes.
Jiang Ping spoke quietly, “Raised a pig.”
Ying Zidian casually picked up, “The price of pork has dropped now.”
Jiang Yan: “……”
Jiang Ping wiped her hands and asked, “Mianxi, are you staying in Shanghai for a while, or are you coming with us?”
“I’ll do whatever.” Ling Mianxi’s eyes lit up again, “Ying Ying, it’s almost the end of the month, do you want to go with us to spend New Year’s Eve in the imperial capital? Let’s spend New Year’s Eve together in the imperial capital, right? It’s lively and crowded there.”
She wanted to bury her breasts.
Ying Zidian looked up: “Hm?”
On the side, Fu Yunshen took off his jacket and put it on Ying Zigui without any delay: “It’s too cold, take care of your warmth.”
Ling Mianxi: “……”
If she wasn’t a match for Fu Yunshen, she would have saved the innocent girl from her misery.
“Ling Mianxi, just don’t wreck me …… my boss.” Jiang Yan blackened his face, “It’s not enough that you’ve wrecked so many people, what else do you want?”
In the Ling family, no, I should say the entire ancient martial arts world, Ling Mianxi had the title of “witch”.
She was lawless and liked to play tricks on people.
But the elders loved her, and she was a rare female with good ancient martial arts talent.
According to the Eight Trigrams, the male dominates the yang and the female the yin.
Because of a series of reasons, women are not as suitable as men to practise ancient martial arts
Ancient martial artists are also far more male than female.
In this way, Ling Mianxi is also very popular within the ancient martial arts community.
The ancient martial arts world has inherited many ancient customs, and there is no such thing as coming of age, but there is maturity.
So by the time Ling Mianxi was fifteen, the Ling family’s door was already broken by marriage suitors.
Not to mention Ling Mianxi’s parents, Ling Chonglou couldn’t bear the thought of her getting married off.
Ling Mianxi then tossed him and his other brothers.
Jiang Yan simply didn’t want to think back to those dark times.
“That’s a good idea.” Jiang Painting Ping slapped Jiang Yan on the head to shut him up, “D**key, the Ling family has a mansion in the imperial capital, and we all spend New Year’s Eve outside, so why don’t you take your grandfather with you and stay in the imperial capital for a while to take a break.”
Ying Zidian thought for a moment and nodded, “Yes.”
She was going to attend the second training camp of the isc in the imperial capital during the winter holidays, so it was fine to spend New Year’s together on the way.
As long as she didn’t go to the ancient martial world.
She still had to continue her retirement.
Ling Mianxi gave a victory gesture to Fu Yunshen.
Fu Yunshen glanced at her, smiling, not saying anything.
Nie Chao didn’t know about ancient martial arts and still does, he always thought that Nie Yi had gone to a secret base to train.
It had been two hours, and he still couldn’t accept it: “Younger Brother Seven, how could my big brother know a female?”
His big brother, that too, was an ascetic.
Let alone a female, gender was a non-issue in Nie Yi’s eyes.
“Let’s see-” Fu Yunshen leaned against the wall, his long legs flexed, his expression lazy, “When they first met, they beat each other half to death and were both sent to the ancient medical world. ”
“Then, she dug a trap for your big brother and the two fought again right at the bottom of the cave, probably when they met.”
Nie Chao: “????”
That was okay?
Could someone tell him why his big brother, such a straight iron man who knew no mercy, would have such a lovely creature as a girlfriend?
Ugh!
Nie Chao was grieved.
“I’m not sure about that later.” Fu Yun Shen ruffled his eyes, “It’s just that members of the One Word team have gossiped about it.”
After saying that, he took off the scarf from the coat rack, bent down slightly and tied it for Ying Ziyi.
She was so used to being lazy that she didn’t see any problem with it.
But Ling Mianxi felt something was very wrong and she ran to find Xiu Yu.
Ling Chonglou and Jiang Ping also got up.
“Little brother, we both have a hard life.” Nie Chao looked around and finally found the same ones who had fallen alone with him and happily walked over, “What’s wrong with being single, being single has its benefits, hm, we’ll stay single and live life to the fullest.”
Jiang Yan: “……”
No, he didn’t want to.
**
The Zhong family’s old mansion.
Since Master Fu’s death, Master Zhong had also sulked quite a bit.
He used to be unable to get together people to play mahjong, but now he doesn’t even have anyone to play chess with.
He has no interest in anything, and he is sickly all day.
Housekeeper Zhong is very worried.
So when he heard that Ying Ziji was taking Master Zhong with him to the Imperial Capital for New Year, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Old master, go out more often, a change of environment will also make you feel better.” Butler Zhong advised with a smile, “How nice to spend New Year’s Eve with Miss Zidian.”
Master Zhong was inwardly happy, but his face did not show it, with a reluctant look, “I’ll think about it.”
Butler Zhong shook his head.
The old man was old and still liked to be so tongue-tied.
Ying raised his eyebrows, “Grandpa.”
Old Master Zhong straightened up, very serious: “What’s wrong?”
Ying Ziji leaned back on the sofa and yawned, lazily, “You’re already rubbing your hands in excitement.”
Elder Zhong: “……”
**
The following day.
Zhong Manhua went to Qingzhi Middle School.
If it was in the past, she would never have given Ying Yuexuan a leave of absence.
But now there were more important matters that concerned the future of Ying Yuexuan and the Ying family, so Zhong Manhua was happy to do so.
After taking her leave, she walked around the campus and came to the notice board in front of the school building.
On the notice board were the rankings of the two mock exams of the senior cla*s in December.
Zhong Manhua was relieved to see that Ying Yuexuan had come first both times.
She subconsciously looked for Ying Yuexuan’s name on the list again, but saw nothing.
Zhong Manhua was upset.
Ying Yuexuan came first, but Ying Zidian didn’t even make it into the top 100.
The difference is too great.
Zhong Manhua took a picture of the red list and sent it to Ying Zhending.
She wrapped her coat tightly and called her driver to come and pick her up.
At that moment, the school bell rang and all the first and second year students were rushing out.
Zhong Manhua had to steer clear.
Those students were excited.
“It’s time for finals again and I haven’t finished revising.”
“Shut up you school bully.”
“Alas, I can only be a school bully, but Ying Shen is different, she’s a god I have to go back and worship her.”
“Yes, yes, yes, worship the God of Ying!”
Zhong Manhua’s footsteps suddenly lurched.
