Chapter 345 Upon learning the truth, Zhong Manhua regretted her actions [1st update]
The students, both men and women, continued chatting.
"Did you get a photo of Ying Shen? I tried to take one secretly, but I got caught and all my tools were confiscated."
"Sigh, I don't have any either. I just drew a simple sketch and hung it in front of my desk. I light a match every day and use it as incense."
"...You're still the best."
"If I pray to the God of Success before the exam, I'm sure I can improve my score by twenty points!"
The students also had toothaches, but there was nothing that could be done about it.
The group of thugs from Class 19 who followed Jiang Ran looked fierce and wouldn't even let them take a picture of his back.
This is the only way I can manage to bow like this.
Zhong Manhua heard it clearly this time.
Winning God?
She hadn't expected that Qingzhi's students would call Ying Yuexuan that.
Some even pray before the exam to improve their scores.
As for why there are no photos of Ying Yuexuan?
She can give them to them.
This proves that Ying Yuexuan is very popular among the students, which she is happy to see.
So, Zhong Manhua stopped the boy who said his tools for committing the crime had been confiscated: "Do you want a photo of Ying Yuexuan? I can give you one."
The boy was in a hurry to go eat hot pot and skewers with his friends. When he was stopped like this, he became a little impatient and his tone became a bit sharp: "What do I need Ying Yuexuan's photo for? I don't even like her. It would be more appropriate if you gave me Sister Yu's photo."
He liked Xiu Yu, who could protect him and let him be a little boy, but he didn't have the guts.
Zhong Manhua's smile froze, her face flushed: "Didn't you want to worship the God of War?"
"Yeah, it's about Ying Shen," the boy said, even more annoyed. "But what does it have to do with Ying Yuexuan?"
Zhong Manhua also got angry, but her upbringing told her not to argue with these younger people, so she barely suppressed her displeasure: "How can you be like this? You want to worship Ying Yuexuan, but you don't have her photo. I'm kindly giving it to you, and what's your attitude?"
"Are you sick?" The boy thought Zhong Manhua was just being unreasonable. "Ying Shen is Ying Zijin. You don't think that just because they both have the same surname, they can take each other's place, do you?"
After saying that, he grabbed his companion and left in a hurry, not wanting to pay any more attention to Zhong Manhua.
Zhong Manhua, however, stood frozen in place as if struck by lightning, completely unable to comprehend what had happened.
After a long while, she seemed to wake up from a dream and called out to a girl: "Who is the Ying Shen you're talking about? Isn't it Ying Yuexuan?"
“Ying Zijing.” The girl was also surprised, but still answered patiently, “How could it be Ying Yuexuan?”
After saying that, she realized her tone wasn't quite right, so she added, "Of course, Ying Yuexuan is also very capable, but she's not on the same level as Ying Shen."
Ying Zijin was able to get a perfect score on the test for the gifted class. In the more than ten years that Qingzhi has established the gifted class, no one has been able to do that.
Zhong Manhua simply couldn't believe what she had heard. Her lips trembled: "Not in the same league?"
She believed it if someone said that Ying Zijing and Ying Yuexuan were not in the same league.
But conversely, she simply refused to believe it.
Ying Yuexuan is a pampered young lady whom she has carefully cultivated. She is proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and also has a great talent for scientific research.
The only regret is that Ying Yuexuan is not her biological daughter.
Fortunately, Ying Yuexuan is an orphan with no parents, so she doesn't have to worry about the future.
Zhong Manhua deliberately avoided everything related to Ying Zijin. She would even leave as soon as she heard Ying Zijin's name, not wanting to hear anything afterward.
Because she felt that as soon as she heard it, it must be something bad.
After leaving the Ying family, Ying Zijing felt upset for a while, but later her mood improved greatly.
With the Ying family's stain gone, she will no longer be disgraced.
How could this be?
Isn't Ying Zijin's academic performance at the bottom of the entire school?
Zhong Manhua didn't know how she got home; she only felt more disoriented.
Ying Yuexuan has been staying in an apartment in the city center with Meng Ru for the past few days and is not at home.
Zhong Manhua actually felt relieved, otherwise she wouldn't have known how to bring it up with Ying Yuexuan.
When Ying Zhenting returned from the company, he saw Zhong Manhua sitting there in a daze, her face pale.
He frowned, put down his briefcase, walked over, and sat down next to her: "Manhua, what's wrong?"
Although the couple has spent more time apart in recent years, their relationship remains very good.
“Zhenting…” Zhong Manhua came back to her senses in a daze, “Today I went to school to ask for leave for Xiaoxuan, and I heard, I heard those students calling Zijin Yingshen.”
"Ying Shen?" Ying Zhenting didn't understand the way young people talked, nor did he know the popular internet slang. "What does that mean?"
“They say that Zijing’s studies far surpass Xiaoxuan’s.” Zhong Manhua pursed her lips. “The reason Xiaoxuan got first place is because Zijing didn’t take the exam.”
Ying Zhenting frowned upon hearing this and scoffed, "Nonsense!"
He knew exactly what Ying Zijing was capable of.
If Ying Zijing had been a good student, would he have needed to spend money to send her to Qingzhi University?
Still comparing yourself to Ying Yuexuan?
Two people, that's like heaven and earth.
“It’s true.” Zhong Manhua took out the report card and test paper photos she had obtained from the academic affairs director.
She went there shamelessly, and the dean of academic affairs even scolded her.
After reading it, Ying Zhenting fell silent for the first time.
“Zhen, Zhenting, let’s bring Zijing back.” Zhong Manhua grabbed his arm. “Her grades are even better than Xiaoxuan’s. Let’s bring her back.”
"Call her?" Ying Zhenting didn't even think about it. "Impossible. How could she give you and me such a hard time back then, and now she wants me to pick her up?"
Zhong Manhua felt embarrassed when she thought back to that incident.
She simply couldn't bring herself to beg Ying Zijin.
"The Yuan family is very satisfied with Xiaoxuan. You brought her back, what will Xiaoxuan think? She's already in a bad mood lately because of Tianlu's matter." Ying Zhenting said coldly, "Besides, does she have any connections in the capital? Does she even know about the Nie family, the Xiu family, or the Mu family?"
“We don’t cooperate with the Venus Group, nor do we need Fu Yunshen.”
The company he befriended in O continent belonged to another large conglomerate.
That group happens to be the rival of the Venus Group.
Ying Zhenting was also aware that regardless of whether Fu Yunshen was just playing around with Ying Zijin or something else, the path to Venus Group's Asia-Pacific region was already blocked.
Then he's even less likely to try to curry favor with them; it would only be pointless and not worth the effort.
Anyway, there are other roads, so why would they all be blocked?
Ying Zhenting continued, "There's one more thing. Doesn't Xiaoxuan know a renowned doctor abroad? They've been in contact recently to treat Mom's illness. We should treat her even better. Can she help Mom recover her health?"
They couldn't contact the miracle doctor at Shaoren Hospital, and other hospitals were also helpless.
The Ying family was in business and had very little interaction with the medical community. It was only after Ying Yuexuan met Pei Tianyi that she was able to make more connections.
Madam Ying's illness really couldn't be delayed any longer.
A while ago, Madam Ying was admitted to the hospital, and the doctor diagnosed that she had at most a year left to live.
Unless her headaches can be cured.
Old Madam Ying, Ying Yuexuan, and the future of the Ying family are certainly more important than Ying Zijin.
Most importantly, Ying Zhenting doesn't need a disobedient and rebellious daughter.
Hearing this, Zhong Manhua said nothing more.
really.
Ying Zijing and they had a complete break, and it would be too difficult to mend the relationship.
Moreover, she couldn't bring herself to lower her head.
Instead of wasting time on this, it would be better to focus more on Ying Yuexuan.
At least Ying Yuexuan can help the Ying family break into the capital and befriend the Mu and Nie families.
Ying Zijin is not good at this.
Having power is not enough; you also need authority.
"Alright, Manhua, it's done now, don't think about it anymore." Ying Zhenting comforted her, "Otherwise you'll feel unwell again. I got some medicine for you from the First Hospital, remember to take it."
Zhong Manhua nodded, but still felt very regretful.
If she hadn't avoided the topic of Ying Zijing and had treated her well beforehand, Ying Zijing wouldn't have left the Ying family, and she would have received even more glory.
It's too late now.
She only has Ying Yuexuan to rely on, so she must treat Ying Yuexuan even better.
Zhong Manhua went to the kitchen to heat up a cup of milk and then went upstairs to rest.
**
Ying Zijin booked a flight to the capital on December 29th, and will leave the day after tomorrow.
Jiang Huaping and Ling Chonglou have already returned to the capital, while Ling Mianxi stayed behind and secretly followed Jiang Ran and Xiu Yu into Qingzhi Middle School.
Of course, this was approved by the school leaders, and it was only allowed to stay for one day.
Ling Mianxi is eighteen years old this year. Before she turned fifteen and came of age, she had always been in the ancient martial arts world and attended a traditional school in the ancient martial arts world. Every day was filled with fighting and killing.
Ling Mianxi had never been to a traditional middle school before, and she was very curious about it.
She thought the Qingzhi school uniform was particularly beautiful, so she went to the academic affairs director and bought ten sets.
The academic affairs director felt that someone finally understood his design, and thoughtfully gave Ling Mianxi a discount.
The younger brother said with a long face, "Brother Ran, she said I'm too short."
Jiang Ran glanced at his underling and snorted coldly.
Thinking to myself, Ling Mianxi even dared to hit your brother Ran, so what does it matter if you're short?
Ying Zijin was resting by the window.
The phone rang at that moment.
