This dessert shop is run by a couple. All products are handmade and the quantity is limited each day, so it is only available in the city next to Shanghai.

But because of its excellent taste, many people line up every day.

A family in Shanghai once offered to help the couple expand their store, but the offer was rejected.

Ying Tianlu went there at noon and waited in line for three hours before he was able to buy it.

He has thought a lot these two days.

What he can do is too late and there is nothing he can do to make up for it. He can only make up for it in all aspects.

He is not a qualified big brother, but he will do it seriously.

Ying Yuexuan's ears buzzed, her hand stopped in the air, and she passed Ying Tianlu perfectly.

The smile on her face gradually faded and turned pale.

It's both uncomfortable and embarrassing.

Ying Yuexuan stared at Ying Tianlu in a daze, her eyes red.

Even if she was slow to react, she realized that Ying Tianlu had been avoiding her these days not because he was too busy with work, but because he knew that she was not his biological sister.

It turned out that Ying Tianlu really heard it outside the door that day.

But he didn't tell her, which allowed her to have a glimmer of hope.

Zhong Manhua did not expect that Ying Tianlu went to find Ying Zijin, and he even gave the dessert for Ying Yuexuan to Ying Zijin.

She looked grim and her face was ashen, but she didn't open her mouth to scold him directly.

Ying Tianlu was her son, so of course she knew what kind of person he was.

Very stubborn and very upright.

If she confronted him right then, he would definitely confront her.

Maybe, the guests at the banquet will be directly informed that Ying Yuexuan is the real adopted daughter of the Ying family.

Even if she doesn't admit it, the guests at the banquet will still be suspicious, which will be bad for Ying Yuexuan's reputation.

How could Zhong Manhua not know what Ying Tianlu meant by doing this?

He was just stating that Ying Zijin was his biological sister.

Zhong Manhua covered her chest with her hands, feeling extremely angry.

Especially when she saw Ying Yuexuan's pale face, she felt even more distressed: "Xiaoxuan, don't be sad, mom and dad are always by your side."

"Your elder brother is only like this temporarily. He still loves you the most."

"No, I'm not sad." Ying Yuexuan quickly lowered her head, her voice trembling, but she smiled, "I should be happy. I'm not your biological sister. I've also suffered a lot, so how could you not love me?"

Even though she said this, she still couldn't hold back her tears.

She raised her hand to wipe it, but the more she wiped, the more it appeared.

She could accept that Mr. Zhong's attitude towards her had changed.

After all, she knew that she was the granddaughter, so naturally she could not compare to Zhong Zhiwan, who had the surname Zhong.

Of course, Mr. Zhong didn’t treat them any differently before.

But Ying Yuexuan has always left herself with psychological buffer preparation.

In this way, even if Mr. Zhong favors Zhong Zhiwan in the future, she will not feel any sense of gap.

But Ying Tianlu is different.

Ying Tianlu only has her as a sister, so naturally he spoils her in everything.

No one shared this love.

That's why she is afraid.

But the thing she feared most still happened.

Ying Yuexuan took a few slow breaths and whispered, "Mom, I'm going to the bathroom."

Zhong Manhua also knew that she was upset, so she put down the wine glass in her hand and said, "Mom will go with you."

Fortunately, there were not many people at the banquet at this time, and only a few young men and women saw this scene.

They were quite surprised, but they didn't ask.

Ying Zijin looked at the bag that Ying Tianlu handed over and was silent for a moment.

She never knew how to reject other people's sincere kindness.

Because she has physical defects, she will repay anyone who is kind to her a hundredfold.

As for Ying Tianlu, she has no intention of accepting him yet.

Fu Yunshen was leaning against the dining table, his long legs slightly bent, his face handsome and his dandy nature fully revealed.

He reached out and took the bag of desserts, his lips curled as he smiled, "Thank you for troubling Master Ying to run so far. The little girl is shy and not familiar with you, so I helped her get it."

Ying Tianlu paused and his eyes became deeper.

Of course he knew that after Fu Yunshen came back from O Continent, he became very close to Ying Zijin.

But he really didn't do anything out of line, instead he helped her a lot.

Even though everyone in Shanghai said that Fu Yunshen was a playboy who only cared about romance and how to please women.

But Ying Tianlu never took this seriously.

If Fu Yunshen was really a playboy, even with the protection of Old Master Fu, could he have survived until now in the turbulent Fu family?

The most terrifying people are those who are hard to see through.

Ying Tianlu also knew that it would take a long time for Ying Zijin to accept him.

In fact, he was ready to make up for it throughout his life.

He still put the dessert bag with Fu Yunshen, but before leaving, he warned him: "She is young, don't bully her."

"Little friend, your big brother..." Fu Yunshen put the dessert bag on the table, paused, and said lazily with a smile, "It seems that he is quite hostile to me."

Ying Zijin raised his eyebrows slightly and said slowly: "Then you probably haven't noticed that my grandfather is also quite hostile to you."

Hearing this, Fu Yunshen raised his peach blossom eyes slightly, and said charmingly: "Because my grandfather stole his snacks?"

"No." The girl poured a glass of juice, took a sip, and said, "Because you want to take his place and be my grandpa."

“…”

——

After delivering the dessert to Ying Zijin, Ying Tianlu did not go to find Zhong Manhua and Ying Yuexuan, but went to meet Jiang Heng, a young man with whom he had a good relationship.

The Jiang family is also a big family in Shanghai, second only to the four wealthy families.

Jiang Heng is the same age as him and they are the closest friends.

The two walked to the smoking area.

"Tianlu, what's going on with you?" Jiang Heng finally asked the question that confused him. "Why did you go to look for your adopted daughter?"

"I just saw Yuexuan crying. Why don't you go over and comfort her?"

Ying Tianlu took off his suit jacket and handed it to the waiter beside him, with a calm expression: "Zijin is my biological sister."

Jiang Heng was stunned, his pupils shrank: "What?!"

"The baby that my aunt stole and threw away was also Zijin." Ying Tianlu said, "My parents didn't actually find her at the time. In order to prevent the Ying Group's stock from being shaken and being laughed at by other wealthy families, they adopted Xiaoxuan."

Jiang Heng took a deep breath and said, "Is this really the case?"

There are many bloody things happening in wealthy families, but this is the first time he has heard of one like this.

"I only found out after I came back, otherwise I would still be kept in the dark." Ying Tianlu lit a cigarette and laughed at himself, "I asked to disclose Zijin's identity, but my parents wouldn't let me."

After a pause, he continued, "You know I called my dad and told him that it was okay for them not to announce Zijin's identity, and that I could help with the paternity test, but do you know what he said?"

Jiang Heng followed up his question and asked, "What did you say?"

"He said that it would be useless if I did it. Even if other people believed him, he would not change Xiaoxuan's identity as the eldest daughter of the Ying family." Ying Tianlu said indifferently, "You also know that compared with my parents, my foundation in the celebrity circle of Shanghai is still shallow."

"So my parents' generation and my grandmother's generation wouldn't believe it, but their recognition is more important."

An identity that is not recognized is of no use at all.

Moreover, the four giants have only been dealing with it superficially.

In fact, there are many intrigues behind the scenes.

If he came out with Mr. Zhong to clarify the matter, others might think that the two of them were working together to seize the Ying family's property.

In this way, some of the branch families of the Zhong family and the Ying family would have reasons to launch an uprising.

"Your parents..." Jiang Heng shook his head for a long while before he slowly uttered a sentence, "But it's normal."

Most wealthy families only care about profits.

There are also many cases of brothers killing each other.

Everyone knows how outstanding Ying Yuexuan is.

Although she is not a stunning beauty, she is very friendly and can quickly chat with strangers.

Jiang Heng also likes to be with her.

He also heard that Ying Yuexuan had studied abroad at a public school in Europe for a year and had already joined a scientific research team.

It is said that the leader of this scientific research team is a well-known professor in the academic community.

She is only 17 years old and has a bright future ahead of her.

Not to mention, Ying Yuexuan was raised by Zhong Manhua and Ying Zhenting.

After sixteen years of raising a daughter, the relationship must be deeper than that of a biological daughter who was only found one year ago.

Jiang Heng had met Ying Zijin several times before.

Whether in terms of temperament or knowledge, there is really no way she can compare to Ying Yuexuan.

But when I saw him again this time, he was amazed for a long time.

"I need to think of a way." Ying Tianlu put the ash into the ashtray and frowned, "Find someone who is more respected and virtuous to help Zijin clarify his identity. My parents can't deny it yet."

"It's a little unlikely." Hearing this, Jiang Heng shook his head, "There is no such person in Shanghai, unless you are looking for someone like the Mu family or the Nie family in the imperial capital, and it must be the generation of Mu Chenzhou's grandfather."

But how is this possible?

How could these big families in the imperial capital have the leisure to care about the affairs of the four largest families in Shanghai?

As Jiang Heng was speaking, his eyes inadvertently glanced and suddenly stopped at the entrance of the banquet hall.

He was stunned for a moment, pushed Ying Tianlu's shoulder, raised his chin and gestured: "Tianlu, look."

"how?"

Ying Tianlu turned his head.
