The voice on the microphone was unfamiliar.

Is a man.

The tone was polite and the voice was low.

"Hello, Sister Zijin, I'm sorry to bother you at this time." He said, "I'm Ying Tianlu."

Ying Zijin tilted her head and said in a dull voice: "I am not your sister."

There was endless indifference between the words.

There were no mood swings or temperature.

It is hard to imagine what kind of suffering he had to go through to become like this.

Ying Tianlu, who had never known what it meant to be gentle and kind to women, felt his heart sank.

Although he had only met Ying Zijin once, she would still smile at him at that time.

The smile is small, but sincere.

Ying Tianlu was silent for a moment: "Sorry, I didn't mean to call you that."

After a pause, he continued, "I already know everything that Mom did to you. I never thought she would do something like this."

"The damage has been done. I know it's useless to say anything. I don't ask for your forgiveness, but I just hope to give you some compensation."

At the dining table, Mr. Zhong glanced at Ying Tianlu.

After confirming that he, Ying Zhenting and Zhong Manhua were not in the same group, he put on his reading glasses, took out his iPad and started surfing the Internet.

At the same time, Mr. Zhong was also hesitating whether or not to tell Ying Tianlu the truth.

Ying Zijin told him that after she left the Ying family, she didn't want to have anything to do with anyone in the Ying family anymore.

He needs to respect her opinion.

Just as Ying Tianlu was about to speak, he heard the girl's calm tone: "No need to compensate, I'm fine, as long as you don't bother me."

"My mother was really too impulsive in the matter of Pink Diamond." Ying Tianlu pressed his eyebrows and sighed, "I am not begging for mercy for her. She has taken so many measures, she should be detained for a few days to sober up."

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone was hung up.

Ying Tianlu looked at the call interface and smiled bitterly.

If he wasn't using Mr. Zhong's cell phone, he probably wouldn't even be qualified to talk to Ying Zijin.

He really didn't expect that Zhong Manhua forced Ying Zijin to donate blood to Ying Luwei thirteen times within a year, regardless of whether she was willing or not.

Ying Tianlu pressed his solar plexus and returned the phone to Mr. Zhong: "Grandpa, thank you."

"Okay." Mr. Zhong nodded, "Sit down and eat."

Ying Tianlu sat down and saw that Ying Yuexuan seemed to be in a daze. He called out, "Xianxian, what are you thinking about?"

"Ah? Oh oh." Ying Yuexuan came back to her senses in a daze and sat down.

The servant brought all the dishes. There were only three of us and we didn't eat much.

Ying Yuexuan ate absent-mindedly. She just kept eating rice and didn't touch the vegetables.

It's not that she didn't feel that Mr. Zhong was not as kind to her as before.

She could almost immediately tell that Mr. Zhong knew that she was not his biological granddaughter.

If not, Mr. Zhong would not have this attitude towards her.

But it was obvious that Zhong Manhua and Ying Zhenting had agreed to keep it a secret from others.

How did Mr. Zhong know?

"What's wrong?" Mr. Zhong put down his chopsticks, "Not to your taste?"

Ying Yuexuan shook her head: "No."

"Maybe she just came back from abroad and is not used to it." Ying Tianlu did not notice Ying Yuexuan's abnormality. He thought for a while and said, "Grandpa, is Zijin still in Qingzhi?"

"What do you want to do?" Old Master Zhong snorted coldly, "I'm telling you, she doesn't want to see you, so don't bother her."

"Grandpa, I didn't mean that." Ying Tianlu smiled helplessly, "Mom has gone too far, I have to make up for it."

"No need." Mr. Zhong waved his hand, "Zi Jin told me that she felt better when she couldn't see you."

Ying Yuexuan didn't say anything. She continued to eat with her head down, feeling a little ashamed of her previous thoughts.

Ying Zijin is the real daughter of the Ying family, she is a cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest.

How could she have such thoughts? It's totally wrong.

Ying Yuexuan raised her head, hesitated for a moment, and called out, "Brother."

Ying Tianlu was thinking of a solution, and turned around when he heard this: "What's wrong?"

"Actually, actually..." Ying Yuexuan pursed her lips, "Nothing, I just feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. I'm going to the bathroom."

She still swallowed back the words "I didn't actually kiss your sister."

She was afraid that Ying Tianlu would not be so nice to her after he knew about it.

——

The other side.

Fu Yunshen raised his eyebrows and asked in a long tone: "Your brother?"

Ying Zijin also followed his example and leaned on the railing, looking at the sky, looking lazy.

The sunlight fell on her almost transparent skin, casting a layer of light gold.

"Well." She placed the cards in front of him, "Then draw a card, brother."

Fu Yunshen paused.

There was clearly no ups and downs in her voice, and it was still the usual cold and clear voice, as if she had just said it casually.

But it's like a feather, floating around on the tip of my heart, plucking the heartstrings.

There seemed to be a breeze blowing past my ears, with a slight air flow, making me feel itchy.

This was the first time she formally called him that.

The destructive power is extremely huge.

Fu Yunshen clenched his fist to his lips and coughed twice: "Yaoyao, that's too much."

"Too much?" Ying Zijin turned around, thought for two seconds, and understood, "You can't."

"?"

"Just screaming once and you're done for, and you'll be even worse off in the future."

Fu Yunshen's eyes gradually darkened, his pupils as deep as the sea: "In the future?"

"Well, it depends on my mood. Maybe I'll call you again in the future. You should get used to it." Ying Zijin didn't say anything else, but just two words, "Draw a card."

“…”

Fu Yunshen pressed his head and found that his and the child's brain circuits were no longer on the same line.

He is a beast.

He raised his hand and selected three cards.

After Ying Zijin turned over the cards, he fell silent for the first time.

Even when calculating Norton's whereabouts, she didn't feel any resistance.

But this time, just counting the small things happening to Fu Yunshen, there was a lot of resistance.

Fu Yunshen looked at the three blank cards in her hand and raised his eyebrows: "Yaoyao, where did you buy these online? You were cheated. He didn't even draw the pattern for you."

Ying Zijin put away the cards expressionlessly: "Forget it."

"Um?"

"Don't talk to me. I don't want to talk to you right now."

“…”

——

After the college entrance examination, the first and second year students will take final examinations respectively.

After the exams, summer vacation officially begins.

But because I am about to enter my senior year of high school, I need to make up one month of classes in my second year of high school.

In this final exam, because Ying Zijin was absent, the scores of the elite class were converted.

Zhong Zhiwan also returned to the top position in the grade.

However, the attention she received was much less than usual. The campus forums basically discussed Ying Yuexuan who had just returned, and Ying Zijin who had always sat firmly on the throne.

"Dad Ying, many people are guessing why you didn't take the exam." Xiu Yu looked at the post, "Tsk, some people actually think you cheated. I think they all have the memory of a fish and have forgotten that public question and answer session."

Jiang Ran took a sip of Coke and sneered, "Anyone who questions this will be put in a sack and beaten."

Ying Zijin raised his eyes: "Feet."

Jiang Ran shut up.

He didn't know what his mother said to their father, which led to him being strictly controlled now.

"Dad Ying, what are you doing?" Xiu Yu came over, "Drawing?"

"Yes." Ying Zijin nodded, "Let's design it."

When she had nothing to do, she designed a few clothes for a clothing company under Chuguang Media and sent them to participate in a design competition in Europe.

Anyway, you can make money.

"I didn't believe anyone could be omnipotent until I met you, Father Ying." Xiu Yu sighed, "Why is the gap between people so big?"

Ying Zijin casually drew with a brush and replied: "Give you three hundred years to learn, and you will learn it."

"..." Xiu Yu was choked, "No, no, I still want to reincarnate as soon as possible."

Originally, she didn't like tutoring, but with Ying Zijin around, she was of course happy to come to school.

As if remembering something, Xiu Yu turned around and looked at Jiang Ran: "Shouldn't you be going back to the capital?"

"I don't want to." Jiang Ran lay on the table, very annoyed, "Let's talk about it next year."

The imperial capital is so chaotic, it's not as quiet as here.

Even if he went back, he wouldn't be able to help much.

——

After class, Ying Zijin went back to see Mr. Zhong.

Mr. Zhong also remembered something important: "Zijin, I don't think Tianlu is that kind of person. Do you think you should tell him about it?"

"No need." Ying Zijin held the pen and didn't look up. "No need."

It is difficult to break off cause and effect, but it is easy to become involved.

If she accepted Ying Tianlu's compensation, she and the Ying family would have a cause and effect relationship again.

"That's fine." Mr. Zhong sighed, "Just stop caring about their family's affairs. But Tianlu is a good kid."

Ying Zijin stayed with Mr. Zhong for two hours and also finished a draft.

She picked it up and held it up to the light and felt that it looked ugly.

He crumpled up the paper, threw it into the trash can, and left the study.

Zhong Zhiwan dared to come in only after Ying Zijin left.

During this period of time, she didn't dare to cause any trouble and was determined to please Mr. Zhong. She also rushed to do the servant's work, and finally Mr. Zhong's attitude towards her warmed up.

"Grandpa, your trash is full. Let me help you take it out."

Mr. Zhong responded indifferently.

Zhong Zhiwan pursed her lips, walked to the trash can and squatted down. Just as she was about to pick up the bag, she noticed a crumpled piece of paper.

She glanced and saw a scrap of manuscript.
