Chapter 367
“Professor Zuo, hello.” Professor Li stepped forward and greeted Zuo Li, “You’re here too.”
“Holy sh*t.” This time it was Zuo Li’s turn to be shocked, he took a step back, “Why are you guys still here?”
He immediately looked towards the lab and was relieved to find that Professor Li was also the only one.
The other professors who had robbed people so fiercely were not there, so he was not afraid.
Professor Li was embarra*sed.
Because of their style of robbing people in the Computer Science Department, it had led to other departments avoiding them.
Professor Li coughed a few times and introduced Ying Yuexuan, “Yuexuan, this is Professor Zuo Li Zuo, the youngest professor in the Physics Department, who came back after five years of further study abroad and is also a pre-selected talent for the International Physics Centre, very impressive.”
Ying Yuexuan stepped forward and was polite: “Hello, Professor Zuo.”
“Well, well.” Zuo Li didn’t pay much attention to Ying Yuexuan at all, he was preparing to do an experiment with Ying Zigui.
Professor Li followed Zuo Li’s gaze and was surprised, “Huh, Professor Zuo, this is the youngest a*sociate professor in your department you said?”
They had this news within the professor, but the students didn’t know about it yet.
Even he was seeing it for the first time.
But this was …… too young, right?
Professor Li was in awe.
Zuo Li was alert: “What do you want?”
“No, no, no, Professor Zuo you misunderstood, I didn’t mean that.” Professor Li secretly wiped his sweat, walked over and introduced again, “Yuexuan, this is Professor Ying Zidian.”
Ying Yuexuan didn’t reply.
Her eyes were fixed on the top left corner of Ying Zidian’s shirt and she saw the words on the identity tag.
Name: Ying Zidian
Position: a*sociate Professor
Faculty: Department of Physics
The three lines of words, one harder than the other, struck Ying Yuexuan in the heart.
She looked at the words “a*sociate Professor” and her brain stopped functioning.
At that moment, Professor Li sighed again, “It’s a coincidence that you and Professor Ying have the same surname, so maybe they are from the same family five hundred years ago.”
Such a thoughtless remark made Ying Yuexuan’s brain explode.
How funny.
Even the surname Ying was stolen from her.
What family?
“Yuexuan?” Professor Li noticed that Ying Yuexuan didn’t respond for a long time and couldn’t help but look over.
Under Professor Li’s gaze, Ying Yuexuan had to speak, her voice very difficult: “Professor Ying.”
Addressing Ying Zidian like that was even worse than killing her.
Ying Zidian still ignored it, she just nodded towards Professor Li and went on to manipulate the instruments.
“Professor Zuo, I won’t bother you anymore.” Professor Li said, “We’ll leave now.”
After saying that, he saw that Ying Yuexuan was still frozen in place, so he had to call out again, “Yuexuan, let’s go.”
Only then did Ying Yuexuan wake up like a dream and immediately followed her, her nails pinching into her palms.
It was because she had learned programming from Pei Tianyi for a year that she was able to get into Professor Li’s eyes and get a chance to visit the lab.
But Ying Ziyi had done nothing and came easily.
She was confident that she would score over 700 points in this year’s entrance exam, a score that would secure her entry into the Imperial University, or the top group of students.
But students and professors at Tidu University were two different concepts.
It was also very difficult for a student at Teito University to stay in school.
To become an a*sociate professor, you still need to publish a certain number of papers in some academic journals.
If Meng Ru knew that Ying Zidian was already an a*sociate professor at the Imperial University, would she still be chosen?
There was no need to think about it.
Ying Yuexuan’s legs felt like they were filled with lead and she was walking heavily.
Behind her, there was the sound of Ying Zigui talking to Zuo Li.
What bubbly spin matrices, what translation operators ……
Ying Yuexuan’s face turned white little by little.
She couldn’t understand any of it!
She used to think that she could bridge the gap between her and Ying Zigui, but now she finally realised that the idea was ridiculous.
**
After Ying Yuexuan took a taxi back to Yuan’s house, she hadn’t even slowed down yet.
“What’s wrong with you?” Meng Ru noticed that she looked bad, “Did you catch a cold? Did Professor Li say anything?”
Ying Yuexuan told her about the day’s events, skimming over Ying Zigui.
“That’s quite good.” Meng Ru was relieved, “You go up and rest, hot water is ready for you.”
Ying Yuexuan’s face was miserably white as she went upstairs, and her steps were a little weak.
Not long afterwards, the door was opened again and it was Yuan’s father who had returned.
Father Yuan was busy with his company these days and had to do everything he could to get an invitation to the Nie family’s New Year party.
“Master, I see that Yuexuan is a good kid.” Meng Ru deliberated for a moment, “Look, should we let her and Jia Cheng get engaged?”
Yuan Jiacheng, was the son of Yuan’s father and Meng Ru.
Yuan Jiacheng was not very talented in studies and did not enter the Imperial University.
Meng Ru and Yuan’s father then sent Yuan Jiacheng to a business school abroad to focus on business.
It was also the beginning of this year that Yuan Jiacheng returned.
Yuan’s father frowned, faintly: “Some of them don’t match.”
The Yuan family was a medium-sized family in the imperial capital, and its strength was definitely higher than that of the Ying family.
Yuan Jiacheng’s looks were not bad, and there was no shortage of suitors.
Yuan’s father thought that he should let Yuan Jiacheng marry a family of the same level as the Yuan family.
The Ying family?
Forget it.
“Master, you have to look at the long term.” Meng Ru smiled, “Look Yuexuan is the top of her grade in Qing Zhi and a student of Professor Li, she will definitely be able to stay at the Imperial University in the future.”
“What’s the shortage now? Lack of talents, with Yuexuan, we are also considered to have half a foot in the academic circle, will we still be worried about new types of talents in the future?”
As expected, hearing this, Yuan’s father fell into deep thought.
The Yuan family was engaged in electronic commerce, so they could not do without these things.
After thinking for a while, he nodded, “In this matter, it still depends on what Jia Cheng wants, let’s have them meet tomorrow.”
Meng Ru smiled again, “I’ll go and talk to Jia Cheng right now.”
**
The following day, in the evening.
Fu Yunshen went to pick up Ying Zidian from the isc training camp and took her to see a movie.
He picked a live-action fairy tale film from Universal Pictures and was about to buy a ticket when his sleeve was tugged.
Fu Yunshen lowered his eyes and looked at the girl’s jade-like white hands.
Ying Ziji said, “I want to see this.”
Fu Yunshen looked at her finger and saw a horror film: “……”
He raised his eyebrows, “Yoyo, are you going to hide in my brother’s arms later?”
Ying Ziyi looked paused, she raised her eyes, very calm: “I’m afraid you’ll hide in my arms.”
Fu Yunshen looked sideways and thought for a moment, “That’s not bad.”
He lifted his hand and patted the Pooh bear next to him, his voice gentle: “Don’t you think so, little bear?”
Ying Ziji put her hands in her pockets, her eyelashes dropping.
And she was wrong.
Coaxing dogs was a thing of the past, this man, he had already started coaxing stuffed animals.
After the queue, Fu Yunshen turns his head: “What are you drinking?”
Ying Ziji pulled her hat down: “No more.”
She is about to leave, but he grabs her hand and smiles: “Stop it, little one.”
Ying Zidian glanced at him, and with a slight deftness in her hand, she broke free.
She put her hands back in her pockets and walked away slowly.
Fu Yunshen: “……”
He had forgotten that their little friend was also an ancient martial artist.
Should have known that he should have used some force.
“Quarrelling with your little girlfriend?” The salesman took it all in and lost his smile, “A little girl at this age should be obedient to everything, otherwise it could go on for ages.”
Fu Yunshen looked down and smiled, “It’s still that close.”
The child was not yet an adult, so he could not officially start chasing.
Still, it wasn’t long now.
**
On the other side.
Under Meng Ru’s arrangement, Ying Yuexuan followed Yuan Jiacheng to the cinema.
“Miss Yuexuan, I’ll get the tickets.” Yuan Jiacheng was polite and gentle, “You wait here for a while, what do you want to eat?”
“All is fine.” Ying Yuexuan, “I’ll trouble you.”
“You’re welcome.” Yuan Jiacheng nodded, “My mother asked me to take more care of you, I should.”
Yuan Jiacheng goes to the electronic ticket machine.
Ying Yuexuan sat in the waiting area and waited.
She was about to see what other movies were on today when she turned her head and saw the girl leaning against the wall.
The girl’s eyebrows were cold, and she was playing with her mobile phone in her right hand.
It was clearly a plain face, but it was better than her carefully applied make-up.
As if a hand was strangling her throat, Ying Yuexuan’s breathing tightened.
Until today, she was still terrified.
Master Zhong and Ying Tianru had already been snatched away, could others be far behind?
I am afraid that Meng Ru and Yuan Jiacheng will be next, right?
At this moment, all the emotions that Ying Yuexuan had pent up for so long burst out, and she couldn’t hold back any longer.
She got up and walked up to the girl.
Ying Yuexuan looked up and withdrew her gaze when she saw that the person coming was not Fu Yunshen.
This ignorance made Ying Yuexuan’s emotions explode even more.
“Ying Zigui.” She looked at the girl and spoke softly, “You’ve been pretending for so many years and are happy to see us all as a joke, aren’t you?”
Chapter 368
It was clearly not like this at first.
At the beginning, she was the one looking down on Ying Zidian.
But now, she couldn’t even touch the field where Ying Ziji was.
Even on tiptoe, she could not reach it.
But how long has it been?
Just one year.
The change was so fast and so big that Ying Yuexuan couldn’t bear it at all.
The emotion called jealousy was eating away at her heart bit by bit, and she could hardly breathe.
There are things that only Ying Yuexuan knows.
Ever since she knew that she was not the real Miss Ying, she had been terrified.
Like many ordinary people, she was afraid of losing what she had already gained.
But like some people, she couldn’t be indifferent to the loss, nor could she ignore the fame and money as if they were nothing.
So she kept testing herself in front of Ying Zhenting and Zhong Manhua to see whether she or Ying Zigui was important.
Even when she said she wanted to leave the Ying family, it was also a test.
In the summer of her first year of high school she told Zhong Manhua that she wanted to go to O Chau. It was obvious that Zhong Manhua took her anger out on Ying Zidian in those days, thinking that she was forced to leave by him.
After several attempts, Ying Yuexuan was relieved.
A relationship of more than ten years was not something that could be compared to a true millennial who was suddenly found.
Most importantly, both Ying Zhending and Zhong Manhua were good-looking people.
Ying Zidian came from a small village in Qing Shui County that needed help with the poor, and was not proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so she would only be a joke in the gentry circle.
Ying Yuexuan had already known that the Ying family would not recognise Ying Zidian’s status as Miss.
After her fears, she was content to take her place.
Since she was a child, Ying Yuexuan has always known how to hold back.
She grew up with Zhong Zhiyan and naturally knew that Zhong Zhiyan wanted the best in everything.
Whoever surpa*ses Zhong Zhiyan, Zhong Zhiyan will set her sights on that person.
This is what Madam Zhong has inculcated day and night.
Therefore, Ying Yuexuan would not do better than Zhong Zhiyan in any field, and settled down until high school.
It was not until later that Zhong Zhiyan made a fool of herself and she added fuel to the fire, expelling Zhong Zhiyan from the Shanghai gentry circle.
Ying Yuexuan thought she would be relieved to be able to show her strength, but she never thought she would meet an even stronger opponent than Zhong Zhiyan.
A rival that she had never even put in her sights before.
Having taken possession of Ying Ziyang’s identity, she looked down on this real young lady of the Ying family with a hidden pleasure, in an extremely high posture.
“Do you think I’m a joke?” Ying Yuexuan pursed her lips and her voice was even softer, “You think I’m funny, don’t you?”
Hearing these words, Ying Zidian’s eyes finally fell on Ying Yuexuan’s body.
She lowered her voice and gave a very light and faint laugh, “Worry too much, I’ve never looked at you.”
Ying Yuexuan’s lips trembled fiercely, and she couldn’t stand it any longer, her nails pinching her palm to death: “Are you very proud of yourself? If mum and dad knew that you were so good, they would take you back, right? Then you can watch me get kicked out of the Ying family?”
“Where’s my family, Yoyo, I don’t need that.” A slightly cool, low, slow voice rang out, “What you want is nothing in her eyes.”
The man was wearing a black trench coat, the lapel opening slightly open.
His aura was overwhelming and powerful.
But willingly, when he walked up to the girl, it was all collected for the tender loving care of her alone.
Ying Yuexuan couldn’t help but take a step back: “By …… what?”
On what grounds did Ying Tianru stand by Ying Zigui’s side so quickly?
Why did he treat Ying Zidian well even though all the people wanted to get on board with the CEO of the venus group?
“Because my girl won’t be jealous of others, won’t be looking for trouble, and is better behaved than you, prettier than you, and smarter than you.” Fu Yunshen raised his eyes lightly, “Immediately, get out of here, you should be glad that this is a society under the rule of law.”
Ying Yuexuan’s face turned white.
What do you mean she should be glad that this is a society under the rule of law?
At this moment, a very uncertain voice rang out behind her.
“Hello, may I ask if you are Mr. Fu?”
Ying Yuexuan’s body jerked stiffly as she turned around and saw Yuan Jiacheng carrying two cups of coke and a bucket of popcorn, looking at the man in awe and disbelief.
A cold sweat instantly broke out on her back.
How much had Yuan Jiacheng heard?
If you heard it all ……
Fu Yunshen ignored it, he put a cup of hot milk tea and helped her pull her hat: “Start checking the tickets.”
The two of them went into the cinema.
Ying Yuexuan was still standing in the same place, her palms were cold and her blood was cold.
Yuan Jiacheng regretted not being able to talk to Fu Yunshen, he turned his head and asked tentatively, “Miss Yuexuan, do you know Mr. Fu of the Venus Group?”
Ying Yuexuan closed her eyes and took a deep breath, “I don’t know him, I accidentally bumped into someone just now.”
Luckily, he didn’t hear.
Yuan Jiacheng didn’t ask any more questions.
The president of the Asia Pacific region of the Venus Group is a person that even the Mu family and the Nie family have to compete with.
Ying Yuexuan was even less qualified, so it was indeed impossible for her to know him.
**
Inside the cinema.
“Yaoyao, seriously.” Fu Yunshen hooked his lips and smiled, “If you met someone who used to be worse than you who was suddenly much better than you, what would you do?”
Ying Ziyi pondered for a moment, “That’s great, I can retire.”
“Then brother will have to work hard.”
“Hmm?”
“Try to be better than you, so that you, on the other hand, can retire well.”
Ying put on his 3d gla*ses and gave him a perfunctory pep talk, “Go for it.”
“……”
Midway through the movie, Fu Yunshen looked down, pondered for a moment, and sent a message to Nie Chao.
There was a quick reply.
[Brother, don’t you get it yet? Who let you be so flirtatious before? The first time you met a big man, you molested him, right? Think about what you said back then, how ambiguous was it? You’re a little kid.
[I thought that was your way of talking, I’ve gotten used to it, I’m surprised you can flirt.
[Hahahaha deserved it! You have your day too!
The next screen was full of “hahaha”.
The next screen was full of “hahaha”. Fu Yunshen’s peach blossom eyes narrowed lightly as he pressed the block button.
The world instantly cleared up.
The world was instantly clear.
The world is a little bit more than that.
On the movie screen, it was playing until the female ghost came out violently and there was a scream all around.
The couples were all hugging each other with terrified expressions.
These two people looked out of place.
Ying was still eating her popcorn and spared a glance at the female ghost’s make-up: “It’s all fake, there’s nothing to be afraid of.”
The painting was so fake.
But after thinking about it, she stretched out a hand and put it in front of his eyes.
Fu Yunshen looked down, his eyes slightly narrowed: “Hmm?”
“If you’re scared, just hold it and don’t be so scared that you pinch me.”
Fu Yunshen raised his eyebrows, “Then I’ll hold it well.”
It was rare that their little friend took the initiative to give it to them.
Her hand was cold.
Fu Yunshen leaned back: “Yao Yao, if Nie Chao tells you he’s scared, what will you do?”
Ying Ziji looked puzzled.
She imagined how Nie Chao would be trembling in her lap, and her expression was instantly cold: “Kick him away and tell him to get lost.”
Fu Yunshen suddenly smiled.
Their girl, she was really good at spoiling.
This double standard, he liked.
**
Yuan family.
After Ying Yuexuan came back and greeted Meng Ru, she went upstairs to the guest room.
Meng Ru called Yuan Jiacheng aside and asked him about his day.
“It was okay.” Yuan Jiacheng thought for a moment, “Mum, Miss Yuexuan is not yet an adult, it’s too early to think about such things.”
He didn’t hate Ying Yuexuan, she wasn’t bad looking either, she was quite pleasing to the eye.
It was just that he didn’t have any feelings for her yet.
However, Yuan Jiacheng knew that those like him were all about joining in marriage for the sake of profit.
“Not too early, not too early.” Meng Ru waved her hand, “If you think it’s okay, after I’ve spoken to your father, I’ll find a date and go to the Ying family to settle the marriage, what do you think?”
Yuan Jiacheng didn’t nod or shake his head, “Let’s wait until after you attend the Nie family’s New Year’s banquet.”
Meng Ru pondered for a moment, “That’s right, if we can meet a better one.”
In Nie Dynasty’s generation, there were also a few thousand girls.
Of course, it was best to tie the knot with the Nie family.
If not, Ying Yuexuan would indeed be a good choice.
Thinking of this, Meng Ru added, “She hasn’t been in a good mood lately, you’re a few years older than her, so you still have something in common, so enlighten her more.”
Yuan Jiacheng nodded and also went upstairs.
**
Upstairs.
In the guest room.
Ying Yuexuan took out her mobile phone and called up the strange number that had sent her an MMS at that time.
She clenched her fingers and sent a message anyway.
[Okay, I promise to meet with you, tell me who you really are.]
Three minutes later, three new text messages came in.
[Tomorrow at noon, Center Garden Restaurant.
[I can tell you who I am right now.]
Ying Yuexuan’s fingers twitched and she continued to read down.
