Chapter 383
“Yes, it is.” Nora said, “It’s a difficult condition, I’ve checked it with the instruments and found nothing wrong with her brain that would require craniotomy.”
“If you have time, come by and we can discuss it together and maybe we’ll find something new.”
Nora was also interested in some strange medical conditions.
That was another reason, apart from Pei Tianyi’s invitation, why she would stay to see Old Lady Ying.
She didn’t specialise in brain science, but she had more or less cured many patients in brain science.
“Good.” On the phone, the girl’s voice was clear, “I’ll go and see her this weekend, please give me the address.”
“That would be wonderful.” Nora had a smile on the ground, “It’s at the first hospital, we’ll agree on a time then.”
Zuo Li hadn’t given her Ying Zigui’s micro signal in the end, or she had gone and asked for it herself.
Nora spoke English, but it was simple, just everyday social interaction.
Although Zhong Manhua hadn’t practised it for many years, she was able to understand it.
She was nervous, still not sure, so she asked again, “Dr. Nora, she will come yes?”
It was true that Old Lady Ying’s illness could not be delayed any longer; although she was not so ill as to die, there was a good chance that she would become a vegetable.
“Will do.” Nora began to unbutton her white coat, her eyes were undisguised in admiration, “She is polite and does what she promises, children nowadays are really heroes.”
“Heroes come out of teenagers?” Hearing these words, Ying Zhending couldn’t help but frown, “Dr. Nora, this a*sistant you hired, how old is she?”
“Almost 18.” Nora’s expression was serious, she said seriously, “But her attainment in medicine is definitely no less than mine, but even higher.”
When Nora said that, Ying Zhen Ting swallowed the rest of his words.
He had read the information, and Nora’s status in the international medical community was very high.
The Imperial Hospital had invited her to give lectures several times, so there was really no need to say such falsehoods.
But Ying Zhending was still a bit unconvinced. He always thought that doctors were too young and had no experience, so their medical skills could not be as good as they were on paper.
But Ying Yuexuan’s heart thudded.
I don’t know why, but she suddenly had a bad feeling.
“I will leave first.” Nora nodded towards a few people, “Just now, Old Madam took medicine that was a sleep aid, she’s sleeping through now, so you guys can not worry about it.”
“Good, thank you Dr. Nora.” Zhong Manhua was very attentive and sent her out before returning to the door of the ward, taking Ying Yuexuan’s hand and praising, “Xiao Xuan, thanks to you, you are your grandmother’s life-saver.”
No matter what, Ying Yuexuan had invited a doctor who could treat Old Lady Ying, so there was always something better than Ying Zigui.
Ying Yuexuan gently pursed her lips, but her face was a little pale: “Mom, what are you saying? Grandma is so good to me, of course I wouldn’t see death and not save her.”
Last month at the Nie family’s New Year’s Eve banquet, she had been forcibly interrupted from her hypnosis by a slap from Ying Ziji, causing her to be unable to focus on any hypnosis with the Gaze Method until now.
It was true that her hypnosis wasn’t strong, having learned it by chance from a teacher on a school trip over to O Chau.
But it was better than nothing.
“Zhen, ZhenTing ……” Just then, Zhong Manhua suddenly seemed to remember something and grabbed Ying ZhenTing’s hand, her voice trembling, “Do you, do you feel that voice, it’s very much like ZiGe ah? ”
Hearing this name, Ying Zhending’s face sank: “Didn’t I tell you not to mention him?”
Moreover, he even ran into the entertainment circle at the drop of a hat, playing the piano in front of so many people.
She couldn’t even learn how to play the piano before, but when she went out, she made a big splash.
The more Ying Zhending thought about it, the more angry he became.
If Ying Zidian had so much talent in the Ying family, would he be biased?
“Ting, I’m serious.” Zhong Manhua’s heart kept panicking, “D**key isn’t even eighteen.”
“Manhua, you’re really thinking too much.” Ying Zhending frowned again, “You can still work on things like studying and piano in a short time, and medicine can? It’s simply a pipe dream.”
Under Ying Zhending’s persuasion, Zhong Manhua also gradually calmed down, “But, maybe it is.”
There was no such thing as a look, it was probably just a similar sound.
“Let’s go and eat.” Ying Zhending glanced at the time, “I’ll stay with mum.”

The next day.
Qingzhi High School.
As we entered March, a countdown calendar was hung next to the blackboard of each cla*s in the senior year.
It was less than a hundred days until the college entrance exams.
All 19 cla*ses have also cut down on many extra-curricular activities and started to brush up in earnest.
It was a rare moment of leisure when she didn’t have to lecture the silly kids and only had to supervise their papers.
With her hand on her head, she was chatting with Ling Mianxi.
[Ying Ying, I want to break his legs [smile]]
[Picture]]
On the picture, it was a screenshot of Ling Mianxi and Nie Yi’s chat, just two sentences.
[Ling Mianxi]: Little Yiyi, I want to throw up from eating, what should I do [cracks]
[Nie Yi]: Why do you want to throw up? You haven’t eaten?
After reading it, Ying Ziji: “……”
She thought for a moment, then unhurriedly copied Ling Mianxi’s first sentence, changed the title, and sent it to Fu Yunshen.
He was always quick to reply to her messages.
The first thing you need to do is to take two tablets, and then have your cla*smates accompany you to the infirmary.
If you can’t, I’ll pick you up later, and if you feel sick, tell your brother.
A white medicine box?
Ying took her school bag out of the drawer and unzipped it, and she saw a white pill box.
Inside, apart from stomach-healthy tablets, there was also patchouli water and some daily medicines, and it was even thoughtful enough to put a few crystal candies.
She didn’t even remember that she had put such things in her backpack.
Who had put them there was self-explanatory.
Ying Ziji fell silent for a moment.
She really didn’t think that Fu Yunshen would be thoughtful enough to think of all this.
Without comparison, there is no harm.
Although she was not holding up, Ying Ziji still took out two appetite suppressant tablets and ate them.
“Ying Dad, have you recently moved your red star luan and have someone you like?” Xiu Yu finished a set of chemistry problems, “You’re in a good mood lately, and your whole body is energised.”
Xiu Yu would not forget the first time he saw Ying Zidian.
The girl’s eyebrows were picturesque and light, so beautiful that it was soul-stirring.
But her eyes were indifferent like cold spring water, so calm that there was not a single ripple, as if nothing or no one could touch her.
It was not indifference, but the absence of emotion.
Ying Ziji paused in her drinking motion: “What is it like to like people?”
“Come, come, Sister Yu’s little cla*s is in session.” Immediately, Xiu Yu put down the question in her hand, “Father Ying, let me ask you a few questions, do you like to be alone with him?”
Ying Ziji thought for a moment and nodded, “Mm.”
“When he is sick and injured, you worry a lot?”
“Hm.”
“Like to talk to him?”
“Yeah.”
“No matter what he looks like to others, you think he’s the best?”
“Yeah.”
“You’re happy when he’s happy, and if he’s down, you’ll be too?”
Hearing this question, Ying Ziji fell silent.
She remembered the time when she went up the mountain and saw Fu Yunshen kneeling in front of the wordless tombstone, with heavy rain pouring down, as if her heart had been rattled by something.
At that time, she was also infected by that sadness.
Even without Master Fu’s last words, she would have looked at Fu Yunshen.
After a period of silence, she nodded her head, “Yes.”
Xiu Yu then asked, “So if he was close to someone else, would you be jealous?”
Ying Ziyi put down her cup: “What does it feel like to be jealous?”
“That, I haven’t experienced either.” Xiu Yu rubbed his chin, “I guess it’s just that I don’t feel good in my heart, and I’ll slap anyone who dares to make me jealous anyway.”
It was only after a long time that Ying Ziji spoke, “Yes, there is.”
The words were tipped off, “If they all fit, then you like it?”
Xiu Yu was now shocked.
First she looked around warily to make sure everyone else was buried in their questions, then she lowered her voice and asked, “Who is it? Which pig has taken away our cabbage?”
There were so many boys in Qingzhi who liked Ying Zidian that they could have made a dozen football teams for the World Cup.
Although all those who confessed were rejected, these boys had a private agreement that if anyone really managed to make it, they would make sure that the other unsuccessful brothers would be beaten up.
How many beatings did this have to be?
Ying Ziyi didn’t hide it, leaning lazily against the window, “You can see him later.”
Xiu Yu was even more shocked: “Is it really Fu Qishao?”
Basically, every day, Fu Yunshen would drive to pick Ying Zidian up from school.
But when you think about it, it’s true.
Apart from Fu Yunshen, there was really no other person.
Having seen such a man, it was hard to see anyone else.
Ying Zidian yawned, her eyes hazy: “If what you said is what it’s like to like someone, then yes.”
“So does he like you?” Xiu Yu began to gossip, “I think he must have a crush on you!”
“I don’t know.” Ying Ziji mused, “I don’t have much of a feeling.”
“Anyway, anyway, I reckon those celebrities are regretting it now.” Xiu Yu gloated, “This if they had known that Young Fu Qi had such a big background and was so rich, they wouldn’t have even looked at him so coldly in the first place.”
Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in this world.
As soon as the bell rang, Xiu Yu immediately picked up her school bag and followed Ying Zidian out the door.
Jiang Yan tried to follow her, but she threw a pile of five-year college entrance exams and three-year mocks at him.
Outside the school gate, people were coming and going, and the stalls and vendors were out.
When she reached the school monument, Ying Ziji stopped, her tone inaudible: “Look, he’s coaxing the dog.”
Xiu Yu followed her gaze.
He saw the man in a black shirt half-crouched and slightly bent down.
His slender fingers were stroking the puppy’s head, and in his other hand, he was holding a sausage and was feeding it to the puppy.
The movements were so gentle that it was hard to imagine.
Xiu Yu recognised the dog.
It was a guide dog whose owner was a resident of the neighbourhood.
He had pa*sed away some time ago, but the dog still wandered around the neighbourhood, walking the same path his owner had once walked.
The students of Qingzhi would also feed it every day when they happened to see it.
Xiu Yu coughed lightly, “It shows that he’s caring, and caring men are the most attractive.”
“The problem is-” Ying Ziji bought a cup of milk tea and took his time, “He touches my head like that too.”
Xiu Yu: “……”
Man, you’re dead.
The two of them walked over.
Fu Yunshen was also just about done feeding the guide dog.
He stood up and after wiping his hands, he took the school bag from the girl’s hand: “What do you want to do for your Bar Mitzvah?”
After being reminded of this, Xiu Yu also remembered, “Right, Daddy Ying, you’re going to be an adult, but the school will also have a bar mitzvah at that time, it’s together.”
From ancient times to the present day, the Chinese nation has always attached great importance to rites of pa*sage.
Ying Zigui didn’t care much, she shook her head slightly, “Whatever, I can do it.”
“How can you do that?” Fu Yun raised his eyebrows, “How can we be casual for our bar mitzvah? It has to be the best.”
Hearing this, Ying Ziji glanced at him and didn’t respond, walking forward.
Naturally, Fu Yunshen could feel the change in her mood.
He remembered the text message, so he took a step behind and asked Xiu Yu, “Is Yao Yao still having a hard time with her stomach, so she’s in a bad mood? Did something else happen at school?”
Xiu Yu spoke slyly, “No, because you just touched the dog’s head.”
“……”
**
Evening.
Ying Zhending left the First Hospital and didn’t go back to Ying’s house. He also called Zhong Manhua specifically to say that something needed to be done at the company.
He went around several streets and went to the suburbs.
It was a coffee shop with private rooms, and there were not many people there at this time of day.
After taking a look around, Ying Zhending went in, walked up to a private room and knocked on the door.
A voice rang out from inside; “Come in, there’s no one else.”
Ying Zhending pushed the door in.
Chapter 384
Inside sits a woman.
The woman was wearing a very extravagant tweed jacket and had a ring on her hand.
But her temperament was extremely mismatched with her outfit, and a little comical.
“Why have you come to Shanghai City?” Ying Zhending looked at the woman, his eyebrows furrowed, “You just showed up like that, what if you were discovered?”
Hearing these words, the woman raised her head.
Her eyes were the same as Ying Yuexuan’s.
If the two were together, no one would suspect that they were not their biological mother and daughter.
“What’s there to be afraid of?” Ying Hongzhen didn’t care at all, she played with her fingers, “If she could have found out, she would have found out more than ten years ago, would she have waited until today?”
“And I’ve already taken care of the surrounding area, there’s absolutely no one who knows us.”
Ying Zhending did not say anything, but also sat down.
Jing Hongzhen took a sip of coffee and spoke up, “I heard that it was Xiao Xuan who found a doctor to see the old lady?”
At the mention of this, Ying Zhending’s face eased slightly: “Not bad, the operation starts this weekend afternoon.”
“At the critical moment, we still have to rely on Xiao Xuan.” Jing Hongzhen gave a tsk-tsk laugh, “That true daughter, she really doesn’t have any filial piety at all, you see she got some kind of direct international competition slot, she can’t even hire a doctor back.”
Ying Zhending was annoyed, “Don’t mention her.”
“Fine, fine, don’t mention it.” Ying Hongzhen smiled again, “But you must admit that it’s still our daughter who is better.”
After a pause, she added, “Do you think your wife would be even more devastated if she knew that you were also responsible for her daughter getting lost in the first place?”
Ying Zhending’s face sank: “It’s fine for you to talk about it here, but don’t go talking about it in front of her, she’s already mentally ill.”
“I’m not that stupid.” Jing Hongzhen said, “If I go to Zhong Manhua and tell her that Xiao Xuan is our daughter, I know exactly what she will do to her.”
Zhong Manhua could not tolerate such a thing, even if she had her eye on profit.
Ying Zhending gave her another warning look, “You’d better remember this clearly, and you shouldn’t stay in Shanghai City either, or go back to o Chau as soon as possible.”
He had bought a flat for Jing Hongzhen in a small country on the north side of O Chau, and Jing Hongzhen had lived there all these years.
In the past few years, Ying Zhending had stayed over in o-continent rarely returning to China, and there was also a reason for Jing Hongzhen.
“There’s no rush, I haven’t seen Xiao Xuan for a long time, I need to see more.” Jing Hongzhen took out a tissue and wiped her mouth, “Don’t worry, I’ve got the right amount of time, of course, when you can let me into the Ying family, it would be best.”
“Impossible.” Ying Zhending refused without even thinking, “I can’t possibly divorce Manhua, letting Xiao Xuan become the eldest young lady of the Ying family is the biggest concession.”
Ying Hongzhen’s expression changed, then she suddenly smiled again, “That’s right, the old lady also cares about family rank, she can’t let me, whose family is already decadent, into the Ying family.”
Ying Zhending didn’t say anything else, he finished his coffee and then left.
Jing Hongzhen was still sitting in her seat, not knowing what she was thinking about.

Saturday morning.
After Ying Zigui and Nora made an appointment for what time in the afternoon, she turned on her computer and logged onto the nok forum.
Her divine calculation ability had instead recovered after being sealed for the past six months.
Although it was far from her peak level, she was able to calculate some of the major events on Earth.
However, there is still a limit, within half a year, she can only calculate one.
In the nok forum, there are actually quite a few diviners.
Several elders of the Fifth Family are also involved in the forum, including the descendants of some magicianesses from the O Continent.
But there are so few soothsayers that they can’t even put together a list.
But no matter which diviner they are, they are all in high demand.
But the real diviners, in general, do not divine easily unless they can produce something that makes their hearts flutter.
After all, it costs a lot to pry into the heavens.
Ying Zigui logged in not with a small number, but with the Divine Reckoner, a founding number that was even higher than the administrator level.
She pondered for a moment and started posting.
[Prophecy].
On 28 July 2021, at 3pm, a major tsunami will occur in the northern part of continent O, at coordinates (xx, xx).
The number of casualties is expected to be 28,347 and the xx peninsula and xxx islands will sink.
Such a post went down, instantly alarming the whole forum.
At this time, the international bigwigs who mingled in this forum also exploded
If it was posted by another soothsayer, they would not believe it.
But this was no one else.
The id: The Divine Reckoner.
These three words stood for true prophecy.
A prophecy sent out by a diviner could not be changed at all if not by the diviner himself or by several powerful diviners united, let alone a disaster of this level.
[D*mn, I live over there, then I have to move as soon as possible, this must not be.]
[Me too, I’ll move as soon as possible.
[I’m going to inform the people of the Principality, we must minimise the damage.
I’m going to inform the people of the duchy to make sure the damage is minimized.
[Alas, I missed it again, so I bought it back.
Ying scanned the comments and was about to go offline when a dialog box automatically popped up on the interface.
[10]: ????
[10]: Why does your old man always like to prophesy disasters? Have you forgotten how much you scared those people of the Laurent family with one prophecy back then?
[The Divine Reckoner]: No?
[10]: Yes, yes, of course. You’re back in the game now, so you have to take care of me, right?
[10]: We’re old friends, right? I’m waiting for you to help me with my big calculations. When can we meet, old man?
[Divine Reckoner]: My internet is down.
[10]: ……
[10]: Sorry, I’m wrong, I’ll get lost.

Afternoon.
The First Hospital.
Old Lady Ying’s spirits are rarely better.
After knowing that Ying Yuexuan had hired a doctor for her, she took Ying Yuexuan’s hand and sighed: “It’s lucky that you’re here, otherwise my grandmother’s life would have been in danger.”
She didn’t know what was the reason for her headache, which had gone untreated for so many years.
But what was comforting to Mrs Ying was that she was relieved that Ye Suhe had been sent to prison for breaking the law.
Back then, she had accidentally caught Ye Suhe drugging Master Jiang, and that was how she got a hold of him.
This was also used by Old Lady Ying as a lever to get Ye Suhe to agree to give Jiang Moyuan and Ying Luwei an engagement.
Otherwise, with her haemophilia, she would not have been able to enter the Jiang family even if she was the first lady in Shanghai.
Ying Yuexuan bowed her head: “Grandma, you must not say such things.”
“Little Xuan just knows how to behave, she is grandma’s good granddaughter.” Old Lady Ying patted her hand and looked up again, “Where is Tianru? Didn’t come?”
It was such a big deal for her to have an operation, and Ying Tianru, as her own grandson, wasn’t there?
Zhong Manhua pursed her lips, “Mom, I didn’t say that, Tianliu is ……”
Because of Ying Tianliu, she was already separated from them.
Although Ying Tianliu was still helping to take care of the property of the Ying family, which was after all the heart and soul of the old man.
But Ying Tianru refused to see either her or Ying Zhenting.
Ying Yuexuan also pursed her lips: “Grandma, brother should be looking for his sister.”
Hearing this, Mrs. Ying was furious: “You are simply deluded, who is his real sister, going to look for a fake one, is that not clear at all?”
With a single word, all three people changed their faces.
Ying Yuexuan squeezed her fingers tightly, her nails pinching into her palm.
She absolutely had to guard her position as the eldest young lady of the Ying family.
“Grandma, don’t be angry.” Dr. Nora said that being angry is not good for your illness.”
Old Lady Ying barely calmed down, but she was still angry: “When I get better, I will go and preach in person… I have left the Ying family, why are you still haunting me?”
The door to the ward was opened at that moment and Nora walked in, holding a report in her hand and frowning.
Zhong Manhua greeted him, “Dr. Nora, what’s new?”
“Yes.” Nora nodded, “Another careful test, there should be something in the old lady’s head, a craniotomy must be done immediately.”
“There’s something?” Zhong Manhua was startled, “It’s not a tumour, is it?”
“No way.” Nora shook her head, “If it’s a tumour, the instruments will be able to detect it, just a moment, there are still a few minutes left, when Ying comes over, we’ll start the operation.”
She really hadn’t seen a case like Old Lady Ying’s before and really needed Ying Zigui’s help.
After Ying Yuexuan relayed Nora’s words to Old Lady Ying, she smiled gratefully, “Little Xuan, you’ve helped to hire another miracle doctor, that’s great.”
After a few more minutes, the door of the ward opened once more.
All four members of the Ying family looked over, and Old Lady Ying sat up straight.
The girl took off her hat and slowly lifted her head.
