Chapter 194 Ying Zijin is the real heiress, my heart is fluttering [3 updates]
The voice on the microphone sounded unfamiliar.
It's a man.
His tone was very polite, and his voice was deep.
"Hello, Zijing, I'm sorry to bother you at this time," he said. "I am Ying Tianlu."
Ying Zijing tilted her head slightly, her voice indifferent: "I am not your sister."
His words were filled with endless indifference.
There was no emotional fluctuation, no warmth.
It's hard to imagine what kind of suffering they went through to become like this.
Ying Tianlu, who had never known the meaning of cherishing women, felt his heart turn cold.
Although he had only met Ying Zijing once, she would smile at him back then.
The smile wasn't big, but it was very genuine.
Ying Tianlu paused for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to call you that."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "I know everything Mom did to you. I really didn't expect her to do something like this."
"The damage has already been done, and I know that nothing I say will make a difference. I don't ask for your forgiveness, but I just hope to give you some compensation."
At the dining table, Grandpa Zhong glanced at Ying Tianlu.
After confirming that he was not with Ying Zhenting and Zhong Manhua, he put on his reading glasses, took out his iPad, and started surfing the internet.
At the same time, Grandpa Zhong was also hesitant about whether or not to tell Ying Tianlu the truth.
Ying Zijin told him that she had left the Ying family and did not want to have any further involvement with anyone from the Ying family.
He needs to respect her ideas.
Just as Ying Tianlu was about to speak, he heard the girl say calmly, "No need for compensation, I'm fine, just don't bother me."
"My mom really acted too impulsively about the pink diamond incident." Ying Tianlu pressed his temples and sighed. "I'm not pleading for her. She took so many measures, she should be detained for a few days to sober up."
The call was disconnected immediately after he finished speaking.
Ying Tianlu looked at the call screen and smiled wryly.
If he hadn't been using Grandpa Zhong's phone, he probably wouldn't even have had the right to speak to Ying Zijing.
He truly hadn't expected that Zhong Manhua would force Ying Zijin to donate blood to Ying Luwei thirteen times within a year, regardless of her wishes.
Ying Tianlu rubbed his temples and handed the phone back to Grandpa Zhong: "Grandpa, thank you."
"Alright." Old Master Zhong nodded. "Sit down and eat."
Ying Tianlu sat down and noticed that Ying Yuexuan seemed to be in a daze. He called out, "Wanwan, what are you thinking about?"
"Huh? Oh, oh." Ying Yuexuan came back to her senses in a daze and sat down.
The servants served all the dishes. There were only three people, and they didn't eat much.
Ying Yuexuan ate absentmindedly, only eating rice and not touching any of the vegetables.
She wasn't oblivious to the fact that Grandpa Zhong wasn't as kind to her as before.
She could almost immediately tell that Grandpa Zhong knew she wasn't his biological granddaughter.
If it weren't for this, Grandpa Zhong wouldn't have treated her this way.
But clearly, Zhong Manhua and Ying Zhenting had agreed that they would keep it a secret from everyone else.
How did Grandpa Zhong find out?
"What's wrong?" Old Master Zhong put down his chopsticks. "Not to your liking?"
Ying Yuexuan shook her head: "No."
"She might be a little out of sorts after just returning from abroad." Ying Tianlu didn't notice Ying Yuexuan's unusual behavior. He thought for a moment, "Grandpa, is Zijing still in Qingzhi?"
"What do you want to do?" Old Master Zhong sneered. "Let me tell you, she doesn't want to see you, so don't bother her."
"Grandpa, that's not what I meant." Ying Tianlu smiled helplessly. "Mom went too far, I have to make amends."
"No need," Grandpa Zhong waved his hand. "Zijin told me she's comfortable not seeing you."
Ying Yuexuan didn't say anything, still eating her rice with her head down, feeling somewhat ashamed of her earlier thoughts.
Ying Zijin is the true daughter of the Ying family; she is a usurper.
How could she have such thoughts? It's so wrong of her.
Ying Yuexuan raised her head, hesitated for a moment, and called out, "Brother."
Ying Tianlu was thinking of a solution when he heard this and turned around: "What's wrong?"
"Actually, actually..." Ying Yuexuan pursed her lips, "It's nothing, my stomach is just a little upset, I'm going to the restroom."
She swallowed back the words, "I'm not actually your biological sister."
She was afraid that if Ying Tianlu found out, he wouldn't treat her so well anymore.

On the other side.
Fu Yunshen raised an eyebrow and drawled, "Your brother?"
Ying Zijing also leaned against the railing, looking up at the sky, looking rather languid.
Sunlight fell on her almost translucent skin, casting a faint golden hue.
"Hmm." She placed the cards in front of him. "Then draw a card, brother."
Fu Yunshen's hand paused.
Her voice was clearly flat, still the familiar cool and aloof tone, as if she were just saying it casually.
Yet, like a feather, it floats and tugs at the heartstrings.
It felt as if a gentle breeze was blowing past my ears, carrying a slight ripple of air, making me feel tingly and itchy.
This was the first time she had formally called him that.
Its destructive power is extremely great.
Fu Yunshen clenched his fist and coughed lightly twice: "Yaoyao, that's going too far."
"Too much?" Ying Zijing turned her head, pondered for two seconds, and then understood, "You're not good enough."
"?"
"You can't even manage to call out once, so you'll be even less able to do it in the future."
Fu Yunshen's eyes gradually darkened, his gaze becoming as deep as the sea: "In the future?"
"Hmm, it depends on my mood. I might call you that again later. Get used to it." Ying Zijing didn't say anything more, just two words: "Draw a card."
"..."
Fu Yunshen pressed his head, realizing that his thought process was no longer aligned with that of the child.
He's a beast.
He raised his hand and selected three cards.
After Ying Zijing turned over the cards, she fell silent for the first time.
Even when she was figuring out where Norton was, she didn't feel any resistance.
But even considering only minor matters concerning Fu Yunshen, the resistance is immense.
Fu Yunshen looked at the three blank cards in her hand and raised an eyebrow: "Yaoyao, where did you buy these online? You've been scammed. He didn't even draw a pattern for you."
Ying Zijing put away the cards expressionlessly: "It doesn't count."
"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 of high school will take their final exams.
After the exams, summer vacation officially began.
However, since he is about to enter his senior year of high school, he still needs to take an extra month of classes in his junior year.
Because Ying Zijin was absent from this final exam, the scores of the elite class were recalculated accordingly.
Zhong Zhiwan has also returned to the top spot in her grade.
However, she received far less attention than usual. The campus forums were mostly discussing Ying Yuexuan, who had just returned, and Ying Zijin, who had always held her divine position.
“Father Ying, a lot of people are wondering why you didn’t take the exam.” Xiu Yu looked at the post. “Tsk, some people actually think you cheated. I think they have fish memories and have forgotten that public Q&A.”
Jiang Ran took a swig of cola and sneered, "Anyone who questions this, we'll put them in a sack and beat them up."
Ying Zijin raised his eyes: "Feet."
Jiang Ran shut up.
He didn't know what his mother had said to the class monitor, which led to him being so tightly controlled now.
"Father Ying, what are you doing?" Xiu Yu came closer. "Drawing?"
"Hmm." Ying Zijin nodded. "Let's design it."
With nothing else to do, she casually designed a few outfits for a clothing company under Chuguang Media and submitted them to a design competition in O Continent.
Anyway, it's profitable.
“I never believed that anyone could be omnipotent before, until I met you, Father Ying.” Xiu Yu sighed. “How can the difference between people be so great?”
As Ying Zijing casually drew with her brush, she replied nonchalantly, "Even if I gave you three hundred years to study, you would have mastered it all."
"..." Xiu Yu choked, "No, no, I want to be reincarnated as soon as possible."
She didn't like tutoring much at first, but with Ying Zijing around, she was happy to come to school.
As if remembering something, Xiu Yu turned to look at Jiang Ran: "Shouldn't you be going back to the capital?"
"I don't want to." Jiang Ran slumped onto the table, looking very annoyed. "Let's talk about it next year."
The capital is so chaotic, it's much quieter here.
Even if he goes back, he won't be of much help.

After class, Ying Zijing went back to see Grandpa Zhong.
Grandpa Zhong also remembered something important: "Zijin, I don't think Tianlu is that kind of person. Do you think we should tell him about it?"
"No need," Ying Zijing said, holding her pen without looking up. "There's no need."
It's difficult to sever the cause and effect, but it's easy to get entangled in them.
If she accepts Ying Tianlu's compensation, she and the Ying family will have another karmic connection.
"Alright then." Old Master Zhong sighed. "Let's not get involved in their family's affairs anymore. But Tianlu is a good kid."
Ying Zijing spent two hours with Grandpa Zhong and finished a draft in the process.
She picked it up and looked at it under the light, and thought it looked pretty ugly.
He crumpled the paper, threw it in the trash can, and left the study.
Only after Ying Zijin left did Zhong Zhiwan dare to come in.
During this period, she dared not cause any more trouble and focused on pleasing Old Master Zhong. She even took on the tasks of the servants, which finally warmed up Old Master Zhong's attitude towards her.
"Grandpa, your trash can is full. Let me take it out for you."
Grandpa Zhong responded with a faint "yes".
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 very crumpled piece of paper.
She glanced at it and saw a discarded draft.
