Chapter 391
His arms were long and strong and he held her against the corner of the sofa, circling her.
The faint emerald scent lingered behind her neck and ears, falling onto her skin.
It was light and airy, but the touch was intense.
With this sudden movement, even Ying Zigui’s thoughts stopped slightly.
She had never been able to calculate what Fu Yunshen would do next, and she hadn’t done so either.
Ying Zidian slowly raised her head.
When she did, they came even closer.
Their foreheads rested against each other, their breaths intertwined.
So close that even the tips of their noses touched each other.
She could clearly see the man’s naturally elegant peach blossom eyes, slightly curved, as if they were filled with a whole river of stars.
There was only her reflection in them.
It was too affectionate.
“I heard Xiu Yu say that the boys chasing you in school were able to put together eleven football teams.” Fu Yunshen spoke up unhurriedly, “They were also a*signed jobs, some as pioneers, some as goalkeepers, and played matches in private.”
Ying’s thoughts were still stagnant for a long time before she gave a one-word response, “…… eh?”
Hsiu Yu had a hobby of making a list of all the boys in school who had sent her love letters and grouped them.
This grouping then resulted in eleven football teams.
The boys didn’t have a problem with this and even enjoyed it.
They played, and they did play, and were later picked up by the head of moral education to write a review.
“So I told her yesterday that I was going to join the football team.” Fu Yunshen raised his eyebrows and his tone was loose, “But I want to be on a team by myself, I’ll be the pioneer and I’ll be the goalkeeper.”
When he said this, his arms were still holding her, and he didn’t let go of them, but tightened them even more.
Ying Zigui did not say anything.
She just looked at her in his eyes, and her eyes were more than a little misty.
“And then-” Fu Yunshen spoke again, his voice low and slow, with a bit of coaxing, “Yao Yao, look, we’ve known each other for this long, can you give me an extra privilege to like like me first? ”
“Thump, thump, thump.”
The sound of a heartbeat, at this moment, became clear.
This was the first time that Ying Ziji had been able to feel such a strong heartbeat.
Although she did not know what love meant.
But at this moment, she could feel it.
That kind of “joy” came out of her heart, like a firework bursting into bloom.
Ying Zidian slightly turned her head to the side, avoiding his too direct gaze.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her voice was still calm, but with more separate emotions: “What do you mean?”
“First time I’ve ever liked someone and I don’t know how to tell her.” Fu Yunshen loosened one hand, his fingers slowly caressing her face, smiling lightly, “I, too, have never been to school, the rest has always been self-taught.”
“But on the matter of liking you, I have consulted many people, afraid that I might not do a good job.”
It was the first time he had ever said the word ‘like’.
“Maybe I was teasing you at first, but later on, every word I said was from my heart.” Fu Yunshen paused and said softly, “I will only be kind to whomever I like.”
“Earth should not have made me so happy, but here you are.”
He had thought that he would never say such words to anyone in his life.
Even if there was no one he loved, he didn’t care.
No one demanded that this life had to be lived by two people.
For him, it was better to grow old alone than to settle for less.
But then she came.
After that, his world was filled with light.
Hot and dazzling.
Ying never knew, either, that just listening to him could be so good.
Her heartbeat went from a speeding car rage on the highway to gradually calming down: “Seriously?”
“Seriously, very seriously.” Fu Yunshen slowly pulled a strand of her hair behind her ear and smiled again, his voice low: “I wanted to kiss you directly, but you didn’t agree, so I held back.”
He respected her.
Even if the thoughts inside him were stronger, he would still restrain himself.
Ying Ziji thought for a moment and spoke, “I-”
“Yao Yao, there’s no need to rush.” Fu Yunshen’s fingers pressed against her lips, his voice laced with laughter, the tail tones raised, “How about you let me chase after you?”
“The things that other girls have enjoyed, our Yoyo can’t be any worse.”
Hearing these words, Ying Ziji’s body relaxed for a few moments instead.
She raised her phoenix eyes, “Fine, then you can chase after me, I’m quite difficult to chase.”
After saying this, one of the girl’s hands climbed onto his shoulder.
This time, it was Fu Yunshen’s body that tensed up, and his voice was a little dull: “Yao Yao?”
Ying Ziyi’s hand was still on his shoulder, not letting go: “I’ll use the strength to sit up.”
“……”
He really didn’t know now whether their little friend was intentional or unintentional.
But whether it was the former or the latter, it was always able to rout him easily.
After sitting up, Ying took a slow breath, pulled a napkin from the coffee table, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
“Sweating?” Fu Yunshen side-eyed, “I didn’t seem to have anything just now either-”
Before he could finish his sentence, his foot was stepped on.
Ying Ziji glanced in the direction of the kitchen and turned his head, “Shut up.”
“Good.” Fu Yunshen hooked his lips, “I’m chasing you now, so I’ll listen to you on everything.”
Ying picked up the remote control and changed to the grape station.
Today happened to be the last episode of Youth 202, where the viewers would choose the final contestants for the debut.
Yunheyue’s votes were overwhelming, and there was no doubt at all about the c-suite debut.
The shock from earlier was too much and she needed to watch the show to take a breather.
Fu Yunshen watched the TV, but his attention was always on the girl.
After a long time, he made a request: “Can you hold hands?”
Ying Zigui paused in her expression, she glanced at him and held out her hand, her index finger: “Let me give you one.”
Fu Yunshen’s eyes dropped as he looked at the girl, his lips curled up in a soft smile, “It’s not impossible.”
His hand held her finger, his palm was soft and warm, but it didn’t feel the same as before.
Ying’s eyes returned to the television.
Twenty minutes later.
Wen Fengmian came out of the kitchen.
By this time, the two people on the sofa were both watching TV and were so far away that they couldn’t see what had happened earlier at all
The kitchen was not very well insulated.
But after Fu Yunshen made his decision, he used his inner strength to seal the kitchen door.
In this way, Wen Fengmian could not hear him.
“Yao Yao, Yun Shen, come and eat.” Wen Fengmian untied his apron and didn’t notice anything unusual until he noticed that the two people were sitting on either side of the table and was a little surprised “…… What are you doing sitting so far away?”
Ying Ziyi yawned and was telling a serious lie: “He just made me angry.”
Fu Yunshen’s peach blossom eyes raised and he was submissive: “Yes, uncle, I bullied her and she was in a fit of anger.”
Wen Fengmian shook his head, helpless: “It’s habitual.”
Fu Yunshen picked up his chopsticks, his lips curving up.
That was really what he was used to.
**
Five days later.
March 24th.
Because Fu Yunshen asked Yunshan to change all the invitations that Ying Zhending had sent out, the celebrity circle in Shanghai was discussing this matter these days.
Although Ying Zhending had silenced the media, he couldn’t stop so many people.
However, other families are afraid of the Ying family’s power and position in Shanghai and do not dare to talk about it.
Jing Hongzhen was no longer a part of the celebrity scene, but she had contacts from the past and knew about the incident.
On the same day, she dressed up and went straight to the Ying Group.
Ying Zhenting did not want to let her in for fear of revealing something.
But in the end, he dismissed his secretary and special a*sistant and took her to the open garden on the roof of the building.
“Ying Zhending, what do you mean?” Jing Hongzhen’s eyes were cold, “Now, what do you want her to do?”
What did she send Ying Yuexuan into the Ying family for?
She had sent Ying Yuexuan into the Ying family for what purpose? To let Ying Yuexuan take Ying Zidian’s place and occupy the position of the eldest young lady of the Ying family.
In this way, Ying Yuexuan would have the right to inherit the Ying family.
Marriage in celebrity circles is all about status.
How can an adopted daughter marry when the time comes?
“I’ve already sent someone to suppress it.” Ying Zhending is also annoyed, “None of the imperial side knows about it, don’t worry, that marriage of the Yuan family, it will definitely work out.”
The Ying Group’s cooperation has already fallen through quite a lot, the reason why it hasn’t fallen too much yet is still because of his cooperation with that foreign company.
As long as they waited for Ying Yuexuan to marry into the Yuan family, even if the Yuan family knew about it by then, it would be too late.
Only then did Ying Hongzhen’s face look much better, and her tone slowed down, “Zhen Ting, I know you’re tired too, but you always have to think of our daughter, you can’t let others look down on him.”
Outside the garden, Ying Yuexuan, who had just come up, paused in her steps and her heart stopped in an instant.
Then, her face turned miserably white.
She was, not only an adopted daughter, but also an illegitimate daughter?
Chapter 392
How could this happen?
Didn’t Ying Chen-ting love Zhong Manhua very much?
How could there be another woman outside?
There were bushes on the roof garden, so Ying Yuexuan squatted down.
She covered her mouth, not daring to make a single sound.
In front of her, Ying Zhending was still talking to Jing Hongzhen.
“If she wasn’t our daughter, would I have done so much for her?” Ying Zhending suppressed his anger, “Can’t you see that for Xiao Xuan, I even drove away my own daughter.”
“Didn’t you want to bring her back?” Ying Hongzhen faded, “You’re seeing that she’s powerful now, so you’re regretting it, right?”
Ying Zhending didn’t say anything.
This was something that he could not refute.
“Alright, I just came to ask.” Ying Hongzhen laughed
Ying Yuexuan was busy walking away quickly, afraid of being discovered.
Just after she left the garden and went downstairs, she bumped into Ying Zhending’s secretary.
She ignored the secretary and quickly walked away.
The secretary looked at Ying Yuexuan with more contempt and snorted: “You really think you’re a lady. ……”
A few minutes later, Ying Zhending also came down.
The secretary immediately straightened her posture: “Mr. Ying, Missy just came up to look for you, didn’t you see her? I saw that she left in a hurry, I wonder if there was something wrong?”
Hearing these words, Ying Zhending’s face sank.
He said, “Why would Jing Hongzhen come to him today? It must be because she knew that Ying Yuexuan would also be here and deliberately wanted her to hear these words.
He told his secretary and the others not to come up, but as Ying Yuexuan was the eldest young lady of the Ying family, if she wanted to come up, the secretary would naturally not stop her.
“I’ve met you, nothing is wrong.” Ying Zhending was cold, “Go and get the director of the finance department up here, I have something to ask.”
The secretary hurriedly went down.
Only after he went down did Jing Hongzhen come out of the garden on the roof.
Ying Zhending looked at her fiercely, his gaze sharp.
“Don’t worry, there’s no way she’ll give your madam the slip.” Jing Hongzhen was in a good mood, “I’m leaving, and I won’t be around for at least three months.”
**
The other side.
Ying Yuexuan returned to the Ying family’s old mansion in a daze.
“Xiao Xuan, what’s wrong?” Zhong Manhua was concerned when she saw that her face didn’t look right,”
“Mum.” Ying Yuexuan’s eyes burst into tears and she choked on her birth, “Mum.”
How could she be an illegitimate daughter?
A b*****d daughter was simply an existence that was disgraced by everyone within the gentry.
“Xiao Xuan, don’t cry.” Zhong Manhua only thought that Ying Yuexuan was upset because her identity had been exposed, “If Ziggy doesn’t come back, you are still mother’s daughter and the eldest young lady of the Ying family.”
Hearing these words, Ying Yuexuan became even more panicked.
If Zhong Manhua knew that she was an illegitimate daughter, would she still be so kind to her?
No matter how much Zhong Manhua doted on her, she would never be able to tolerate the fact that Ying Zhending had given birth to a child with another woman.
What to do?
“All right, clean up properly.” Zhong Manhua said, “Mum will take you to have your hair styled and choose a dress, the party will start in the afternoon, you are the host, you can’t be late.”
Ying Yuexuan pinched her palm to force herself to wake up, she whispered, “Thank you, mum.”
“What is there to thank for?” Zhong Manhua smiled, “You’re Mum’s daughter, who would Mum be to if she didn’t treat you well?”
She lifted her bag, “Let’s go.”
**
In order to hold Ying Yuexuan’s bar mitzvah, the Ying family had the ground floor lobby of the Queen Hotel reserved for the occasion.
Ying Yuexuan was dressed in a high-fashion gown, like an elegant and famous woman.
She looks at herself in the mirror and her emotions have finally calmed down.
But she had waited for a long time, until half past four, but none of them had come.
But at five o’clock, the party was about to begin.
Last year, at this time, half of the people came at three o’clock.
Ying Yuexuan’s heart went cold.
She had quite a few celebrities she was friends with in Shanghai’s celebrity circles.
Today was her bar mitzvah, but none of those celebrities had come, not even with gifts.
Is it really that important to be the real Miss Ying?
Ying Yuexuan hung her head and choked out another sob: “Mom, is …… my bar mitzvah ruined?”
Zhong Manhua’s face was iron blue as she heavily slammed the teacup in her hand and laughed coldly, “These people, dog eyes!”
“They should all have gone to their sister’s side.” Ying Yuexuan’s voice was even lower, “She is your own daughter.”
People have always been sympathetic to the weak.
When Zhong Manhua saw how Ying Yuexuan looked, she threw away her guilt towards Ying Zidian.
“Go.” She stood up, coldly, “Go to the Zhong family, your Bar Mitzvah won’t be ruined, they must have all gone over to the Zhong family.”
It wasn’t that she hadn’t invited Elder Zhong over, but Elder Zhong said he was only giving Ying Zigui’s birthday.
It was at the Zhong family’s side that Ying Zidian’s birthday party was held.
After calling Ying Zhending, Zhong Manhua took Ying Yuexuan out of the hotel.
However, as soon as she left the hotel, she was surrounded by flashing lights.
At the entrance of the hotel, there were many reporters, all the media from Shanghai.
When they saw Zhong Manhua and Ying Yuexuan, they raised their cameras and immediately started taking pictures.
Ying Yuexuan’s face turned white and she immediately stepped back and took her bag to cover her face.
“What are you doing?” Zhong Manhua looked ugly and angrily scolded, “Taking pictures at will is an infringement of the right of portrait, do you know that it is illegal?”
However, the media did not care about this.
They handed the microphone to Zhong Manhua and asked her questions directly.
“Mrs. Ying, you have not announced the identity of Miss Ying Zidian to the public, do you think that she is from the countryside, does not know the manners of the rich and is not as good as Ying Yuexuan and will
“Madam Ying, last year the isc official website announced the candidates for the international competition, there were six of them, Miss Ying was one of them, as far as I know, Ying Yuexuan and Miss Ying were from the same school, it is obvious that the school did not choose Ying Yuexuan.”
“Madam Ying, Miss Ying Zigey’s piano is known as a masterpiece, you mistook the fish eye for a pearl, do you regret it?”
Each question was sharp to the core and poked at a painful point.
Zhong Manhua’s face was blue and red, and her body was shaking from the questioning: “You, you ……”
One of the reporters then asked, “Mrs. Ying, now that the truth has come out, you are still biased and only held a birthday party for your adopted daughter, do you really deserve to be a mother?”
Hearing this, Zhong Manhua felt a surge of anger and a string in her head snapped.
She couldn’t catch her breath, her head lolled and she pa*sed out.
“Mum!” Ying Yuexuan hurriedly held Zhong Manhua and panicked, “Mum! Quickly, call 120!”
When the media saw that Zhong Manhua had fainted, they were all very sorry.
They didn’t care and left with their cameras on their shoulders.
Ying Yuexuan bit her lip and just had to take out her own mobile phone to start calling the emergency number.
**
Contrary to what Ying Yuexuan had thought, the Zhong family residence had not invited anyone from the celebrity circle in Shanghai, except for the students of Qingzhi’s cla*s 19 and the people Ying Zidian knew in the imperial capital.
Ying Ziyang had no intention of making the birthday party grand and only invited people close to her.
Master Zhong took over the work of Zhong’s housekeeper and directed the servants to work together.
Fu Yunshen sat in the living room.
He looked sideways at Qingzhi’s students who were playing in the garden outside the villa, his eyes gentle.
“Young master, you still have foresight.” On the side, Yunshan lowered his voice, “You knew that the Ying family would definitely come looking for trouble after they found out that no one was there, so you arranged for the media to go there in advance and deliberately asked the Ying family those questions.”
Fu Yunshen’s eyes narrowed and he smiled cynically, “Hm?”
He had learnt this trick from Nie Chao.
“Young master, you don’t know, Madam Ying is furious.” Yun Shan gloated, “Now she’s been sent to the hospital, Ying Zhending and Ying Yuexuan have both gone over, I think Ying Yuexuan will have to spend her bar mitzvah in the hospital, she deserves it.”
“No.” Fu Yunshen’s expression was light, “Today is only Yoyo’s bar mitzvah.”
Yunshan froze, then remembered that Ying Yuexuan had been a fake from the beginning to the end, including her name and birthday.
“I’m really sad for Miss Ying.” Yun Shan muttered, “Having stumbled upon such a family.”
Fu Yunshen thought for a long time and then said, “Soon, it won’t be Miss Ying anymore.”
Yun Shan was first confused, then surprised: “Young master, you’ve got her?”
Fu Yunshen’s eyelashes drooped as he smiled, “I’m chasing her.”
Yunshan: “……”
If he hadn’t heard, he would have thought that the young master was coming out.
**
In the garden.
Xiu Yu was poking ants with a branch, but his ears perked up, “Ying Dad, is there anything happy to share?”
“Hmm.” Ying Ziji leaned against a tree, “He confessed his love to me.”
After a pause, she raised an eyebrow, “You should have known that in advance.”
Xiu Yu coughed lightly and was serious, “Aren’t I helping you step up for your lifelong happiness? Isn’t that a surprise?”
“It is quite a surprise, I was going to say yes straight away.” Ying Ziji’s hand supported his chin, looking weary and lazy, “But I haven’t said it yet, he said he wanted to chase me and let me experience what it’s like to be chased, couldn’t be missing that step.”
Xiu Yu was silent for a moment and sighed in heartfelt admiration, “Taking such good care of your mood and still holding back, a man of God.”
She didn’t know for a moment whether to pity Fu Yunshen who could have gone straight to the top, or pity herself for being a single dog by now.
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of how long you’re going to let him chase you?”
“I don’t know.” Ying Zidian thought about it, “Let’s see how he behaves.”
“Ugh.” Xiu Yu was sad, “I don’t know why, but I have the sigh of a married daughter.”
Hearing this, Ying Ziji straightened up and pressed one hand on Xiu Yu’s shoulder.
For the first time, Xiu Yu felt a chill run through her body and she stood up, “Father Ying, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” Ying Zidian rolled up his sleeves, “I’ll teach you to practice ancient martial arts.”
Xiu Yu: “……”
**
An hour later, the sun had set and the night was dropping.
Xiu Yu slumped to the ground, “No more no more, people are dying.”
If she knew that she had the gift of ancient martial arts after taking that one pill and having to be trained like that, she wouldn’t have died taking it.
“This is just the foundation.” Ying reached out her hand and pulled her up, “You haven’t condensed your internal energy yet, you need to practise.”
“Dry rice first.” Xiu Yu waved his hand, “You’ll have strength only after you’ve eaten.”
Ying Ziji nodded.
Just then, her phone rang.
It was Fu Yunshen’s call.
Ying Zidian picked it up: “I’m right outside, I’m so close, why are you calling?”
In the receiver, there was his gentle and calm voice: “Yao Yao, look up.”
At the same time, Xiu Yu let out an exclamation, “Daddy Ying, look at this!”
Ying Zigui raised his head.
On the black night sky, countless fireworks bloomed at the same time.
Finally, they converged into a single sentence –
Happy birthday, eighteenth year old Yao Yao.
This is for her alone, the blooming fireworks.
**
Once March pa*sed, the weather grew warm.
Ying Tianru got out of the office and got into his car.
He had already transferred the company he had created abroad with some other gentry to the country, but it was still small, not at all comparable to the Ying Group, and was still in the suburbs.
Ying Tianlv knew this, so he was working hard to develop the company.
He intends to be able to have the ability to compete with the Ying Group within at least a year.
He is completely disappointed with Ying Zhending, but he does not want Ying’s Group to remain under his control either.
Ying Tianru chewed on a cigarette, lowered his eyes and looked at the new message on WeChat.
When he looked at it, his expression lifted.
[Tianru, I found out, this woman is indeed Jing Hongzhen, but there is very little information about her, only that she used to be a famous woman in Shanghai, but her family is gone.
This family used to be related to the Ying family too, I reckon, it’s possible that she was an old acquaintance of your father, that’s why he adopted her child.
Ying Tianru frowned and returned the question.
【Okay, I get it.
He slowly exhaled a breath, inserted the car key into the lock hole, turned the steering wheel and started the car.
After getting on the highway, the car speed increased to 80kmh.
Just then, there was a frantic alarm sounding inside the car.
[Drip drip drip–]
Ying Tianru’s complexion changed and he immediately slammed on the brakes.
The car didn’t slow down, but went faster.
[Warning! Warning!
