Zhong Manhua’s expression darkened almost instantly.

“She wants to enter the entertainment industry?”

These words were squeezed out from between clenched teeth.

“Huh?” Ying Luwei was stunned. “Sister-in-law, didn’t Jin tell you?”

Zhong Manhua took a deep breath and said coldly, “Don’t even think about it!”

Which socialite from a wealthy family would join the entertainment industry?

It was bad enough that she didn’t do well in her studies. Zhong Manhua could accept that she didn’t know how to play the piano, but she even wanted to act now?

What the heck was she trying to do?

“Then I might have misunderstood.” Ying Luwei pursed her lips and said, “Sister-in-law, don’t be angry. I’m just curious. Actually, with Jin’s qualifications, she will be very popular in the entertainment industry.”

Hearing this, Zhong Manhua became even angrier. “Luwei, not everyone is like you. You’ve taught her for so long, but she hasn’t even mastered the basics of ‘Für Elise’!”

Ying Luwei was a famous pianist in the country. How could Ying Zijin compare to her?

Ying Luwei said guiltily, “It’s because I don’t know how to teach. I wasted Little Jin’s time.”

“She’s the one who didn’t study hard!” Zhong Manhua said furiously, “Even a three-year-old child would have learned it by now!”

“Sister-in-law, you…” Ying Luwei paused before saying helplessly, “Is Jin around? I’d like to give her something.”

Zhong Manhua was still very angry. “She’s not here. You can just go up and put her in her room.”

Ying Luwei nodded. After taking a few steps, she stopped and asked, “Sister-in-law, did my brother say when he would be back?”

“Your brother and nephew are still in the Imperial Capital.” Zhong Manhua said, “Rumor has it that a big family from Continent O is coming over, so they went to see if they can make connections. They’ll be back in a few days.”

“My brother is really impressive.” Ying Luwei smiled again as she said, “It’s all because Eldest Sister-in-law taught him well. Tianlu inherited his father’s business acumen.”

The Ying family was a hundred-year-old aristocratic family, but it had only developed in the hands of Old Master Ying. It was a pity that Old Master Ying had passed away a few years ago.

Otherwise, the Ying family might even be able to surpass the Fu family.

At the mention of Ying Tianlu, a smile appeared on Zhong Manhua’s face. “Tianlu has been smart since he was young and has never made me worry.”

Ying Luwei sighed. “If Jin hadn’t gotten lost, she would definitely be on par with Tianlu.”

Zhong Manhua’s smile instantly disappeared.

Apart from her and Ying Zhenting, only Ying Luwei knew the truth.

They had all hidden it from Old Madam Ying and Ying Tianlu, as well as the other noble families.

Both would be raised together, so two wrongs made a right.

However, reality proved that the child that was raised by her side was closer to her.

Zhong Manhua was extremely frustrated and wondered if Ying Zijin was really her biological daughter. If so, why didn’t she inherit any of her merits?

Only then did Ying Luwei go upstairs.

She came to Ying Zijin’s room with familiarity and took out the key to open the door.

The furnishings in the room were very simple. The bed, wardrobe, computer table, and bookshelf were all in the color of wood. The layout was very minimalistic.

Ying Luwei scanned the things in the room. When she saw the bookshelves filled with children’s books, she couldn’t help but laugh with disdain.

She was overthinking things.

Ying Luwei tucked her hair behind her ear and pushed the door open without looking at the room again.

After leaving the room, she felt that her skin was a little itchy. After she scratched it, it actually hurt.

Ying Luwei was shocked and quickly covered her face.

Her other hand trembled as she took out her phone. Without time to think about anything, she made a call and said, “Hello? Quick, make an appointment with the First Hospital…”

At the same time.

The city was brightly lit, and amidst the crowd of bustling people, the sound of sirens sounded nonstop.

In the car.

After Fu Yunshen glanced at the red light, he turned his head. He saw the girl, who was sleeping, straighten up.

“Did you have a nightmare?”

“No.” Ying Zijin propped up her elbows and said with a tired expression, “I just thought of something funny.”

That day, other than purchasing herbs for Wen Fengmian’s treatment, she also bought some other things.

After returning, she concocted some new medicine and placed them in the room.

Naturally, poisonous herbs couldn’t be sold on the market.

Therefore, no matter how she concocted it, the toxicity wouldn’t be that high.

At most, she would have rashes all over her body for a month. If she went to the hospital, it would get even worse and her face would be disfigured.

No one could detox the poison she had concocted.

“Huh?” When the red light turned green, Fu Yunshen started the car. “What funny thing? Share it with me.”

The girl had just woken up. Her eyes were a little misty as she said in a low and cold voice, “I’m in a better mood now after teaching someone a lesson.”

The man’s slender fingers tapped on the steering wheel lightly and there was a dark expression in his eyes.

He had investigated the Ying family.

Even if the Ying family wanted to hide what happened 16 years ago, he could still find out the truth if he investigated carefully.

The four noble families valued benefits and were even willing to abandon their biological daughter for its sake.

It was exactly the same as before.

Fu Yunshen took out a piece of chocolate and handed it over.

Ying Zijin took it and split it into two.

Fu Yunshen lowered his eyes and chuckled.

The little kid was quite considerate.

He looked at the girl thoughtfully and called out with a smile, “Yaoyao?”

Ying Zijin didn’t hear him clearly, so she took off her earphones and asked, “What?”

“Yaoyao.” Fu Yunshen called out again. Then, his charming eyes narrowed, as if he was trying to seduce her. “Isn’t that your nickname?”

Ying Zijin was silent for a moment before saying softly, “Yes.”

The nickname ‘Yaoyao’ wasn’t given to her by the Ying family, but by Wen Fengmian.

Wen Fengmian said that Yaoyao had two meanings.

One represented his hope that she could live a peaceful life.

The other was ‘to die prematurely’.

Qingshui County had such a custom, since it was believed that a supposedly inauspicious nickname would make the child’s life more smooth sailing.

“Okay, that’s good.” Fu Yunshen said with a relaxed expression, “Do you mind if I call you Yaoyao in the future?”

Ying Zijin yawned and said aloofy, “I don’t mind.”

During the years she spent in Continent O, she had many names.

To her, a name was just a code.

Except for those of special significance.

At night, the two of them arrived at a hotpot skewer stall by the pedestrian street. There were so many people that there was a queue.

When Ying Zijin smelled the rich and alluring spicy fragrance, she felt quite regretful that she hadn’t stayed in the country for a longer period of time in the past and missed out on so many delicacies.

“I’ll go park the car.” Fu Yunshen raised his hand to touch her head, but in the end, he put it down and said, “Go draw a number first. Don’t run around.”

The hotpot skewers were in the alley, far away from the parking lot.

Ying Zijin nodded.

After getting the number, she leaned against the wall with one hand in her pocket.

She took out her phone with her other hand and opened Weibo.

After Ying Luwei @ her Weibo account that day, she closed it and registered a new one.

Ying Zijin glanced at the trending searches, but didn’t find anything interesting, so she planned to play games for a while.

At this moment, a Weibo post popped up in the hot topic column. It came from a marketing account.
