Chapter 381 Exposing Ying Yuexuan's True Colors [1st Update]
"..."
The banquet hall fell silent.
The wealthy young men around them looked at the girl with some astonishment.
This is a banquet hosted by the Nie family, and it's even been personally organized by Old Master Nie. Who would dare to cause trouble here?
Some wealthy young men knew Ying Zijing because she had been very popular online these past few days.
Several of the daughters are still watching "Youth 202".
Even though most people didn't recognize her, their eyes kept following the girl.
Ying Yuexuan covered her face, even more incredulous. Her usually gentle voice turned cold: "Ying Zijin, you..."
It was just a little bit short.
But Ying Zijing interrupted him with a slap.
Ying Yuexuan pursed her lips, unable to bear it any longer, but her good manners reminded her not to make a scene. She questioned, "Ying Zijin, what do you mean? You hit people at the drop of a hat, is this your upbringing?"
Ying Zijing took off her gloves and casually tossed them into a trash can ten meters away.
This action was even more unacceptable to Ying Yuexuan: "You think I'm dirty?"
Ying Zijing crossed her arms in a lazy posture, her eyes slightly cool: "I'll help you wash your mouth."
“Boss.” Nie Chao ran over. He heard Ying Yuexuan’s words and looked disgusted. “Because of jealousy, she always talks badly about others behind their backs. She has no manners at all.”
At this point, none of the wealthy young men around spoke up for Ying Yuexuan.
Nie Chao used to be a lazy and dissolute playboy, but things are different now.
This is the heir of the Nie family!
“Talking behind someone’s back is truly tasteless.” The socialite who brought Ying Yuexuan in took a few steps to the side. “She’s a petty person.”
Ying Yuexuan clenched her fingers, a fine layer of cold sweat broke out on her back, and she couldn't even maintain the smile on her lips.
"Security, get her out." Nie Chao called over two security guards and pointed at Ying Yuexuan. "She's not on the banquet guest list, she can't be let in."
"Not only this time, but in the future, this person must not be allowed to be present at any of the Nie family's events."
Ying Yuexuan's face turned pale: "You..."
Before she could finish speaking, two security guards forcibly grabbed her and dragged her out.
After leaving the banquet hall, they abandoned her outside in the garden.
Ying Yuexuan was only wearing a thin dress and didn't even bring a down jacket. In the cold winter wind, she was shivering all over.
But that couldn't compare to the panic in her heart.
These past few days, she hadn't been unaware of the change in Zhong Manhua's attitude towards her.
Although they are still enthusiastic, they are clearly not as focused as before.
She knew that Zhong Manhua had already considered taking Ying Zijin back.
Ying Zijing is too outstanding; even if she tries to hide it, she can't hide much at all.
But Ying Zijing has so many people she can rely on: Fu Yunshen, the Nie family, and the Zhong family.
She only has the Winner.
If she left the Ying family, she would have no choice but to follow Jing Hongzhen and live an ordinary life.
Why is Ying Zijing still trying to take it from her?
Ying Yuexuan dug her nails into her palms, forcing herself to come to her senses.
She knew her plan had failed.
Her hypnosis was interrupted by Ying Zijing's slap when it reached its peak.
As a result, she not only failed to give those rich young men a psychological suggestion, but also affected her nervous system.
She almost fainted.
Hypnosis failure can have such a negative effect.
Especially when conducting group hypnosis.
Her first attempt was thwarted before it even began.
If she hadn't known that Ying Zijing knew nothing about hypnosis, she would have almost suspected that Ying Zijing had deliberately slapped her at that moment.
Ying Yuexuan stood in the cold wind for a while before shivering and leaving the Nie family villa.
Meng Ru naturally wouldn't wait outside.
The Yuan family booked a table at a five-star restaurant across from the Nie family's villa area. Yuan Jiacheng was also there, along with other factions of the Yuan family.
Ying Yuexuan went to the clothing store next door and bought a coat before going upstairs.
Meng Ru was chatting with someone when she saw Ying Yuexuan. She frowned and asked, "Why are you out here?"
"I'm not feeling well," Ying Yuexuan said, bowing her head. "Madam Yuan, I'm so sorry, I need to go to the hospital."
She didn't dare tell Meng Ru that she had blocked the Nie family's path.
"That's enough." Seeing that Ying Yuexuan's face was pale and beads of sweat were constantly dripping down her face, Meng Ru didn't say anything more to criticize her. "Let Jiacheng go with you."
"No need to trouble yourself," Ying Yuexuan said in a low voice. "I can go by myself."
Meng Ru didn't press the matter further.
Ying Yuexuan left in a hurry.
Meng Ru frowned again.
For some reason, she felt that Ying Yuexuan wasn't as likable today.
However, Meng Ru quickly put that thought aside and started chatting with another lady from the Yuan family.

Inside the banquet hall.
"What bad luck," Nie Chao snorted. "When you're not careful, flies get in."
Ying Zijing tilted her head: "You mean, I'm a fly swatter?"
"No, no, no," Nie Chao quickly waved his hand, praising, "You're holding a fly swatter, you're holding insecticide!"
"..."
Ying Zijing walked inside expressionlessly.
She really didn't know where the emotional intelligence of the two Nie brothers had gone.
I understand Ling Mianxi's troubles a little now.
Nie Chao hurriedly followed, leaving Steward Nie to continue entertaining the guests.
As soon as he left, the socialite who had brought Ying Yuexuan in changed her expression: "Young Master Nie Chao, I..."
Then, Butler Nie stopped and smiled, "Young Master Nie said that Miss Liao also misjudged people and was misled by words. This matter has nothing to do with Miss Liao."
Hearing this, Ms. Liao breathed a sigh of relief, but was still very apologetic: "I'm really sorry, I promise this kind of thing will never happen again."
Butler Nie nodded in acknowledgment and went to attend to his other tasks.
Ms. Liao was still standing there, somewhat dazed.
She also found it a bit strange.
Although her family wasn't as prestigious as the Nie or Mu families, it was still considered to be in the second tier of families in the capital.
Being invited to the Nie family's New Year banquet is a rare opportunity.
Although she had a good relationship with Ying Yuexuan and liked her quite a bit, she couldn't possibly bring an outsider in.
Ms. Liao thought and thought, but couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation.
She decided that she would keep her distance from Ying Yuexuan from now on.
Ying Yuexuan offended the heir of the Nie family, and half of her career in the capital's elite circles was ruined.
Miss Liao shook her head.
They brought it on themselves.
**
On the other side.
Fu Yunshen came out of the kitchen and took out two specially made small cakes, handing them to the girl: "Did you go to interrupt her hypnosis?"
Ying Zijin nodded slightly and said calmly, "Just ordinary."
She discovered Ying Yuexuan's hypnosis abilities when she went to the elite class to look for Wen Tinglan after her accident.
That's why she told Xiu Yu not to look into Ying Yuexuan's eyes.
There are many types of hypnosis. Ying Yuexuan usually uses the gaze method, combined with verbal suggestion, to induce hypnosis.
However, Ying Yuexuan's level of hypnosis is only about the same as that of street performers in O continent.
Hypnosis is a form of psychological suggestion, and people with a high tolerance for it are easily hypnotized.
Ying Yuexuan exudes a high degree of approachability, partly because she possesses some hypnosis skills.
Nie Chao also found it unbelievable: "Boss, the Ying family wouldn't be......"
"What are you thinking about?" Fu Yunshen lifted his eyelids and smiled. "You think she's one of those hypnotists on the list? Her kind of hypnosis is all about conforming to other people's wishes. It's very childish."
"Just like those commercials on TV, if you don't really need it, no matter how much the advertisement promotes it or gives you psychological suggestions, you won't buy it."
Nie Chao scratched his head, looking very aggrieved: "My worldview has been shattered again."
The Nie family only has one NOK forum account that can access the Hidden Alliance, which is held by each successive family head, but the level is not high, only A-level.
What Nie Yi held in his hand was something he had obtained himself.
After receiving the account from Grandpa Nie, Nie Chao went to browse the hidden sections.
After exploring the world, he realized that what he knew before was just the tip of the iceberg.
After Ying Zijing finished eating, Fu Yunshen handed her a piece of paper and then held out his hand.
After wiping her hands, Ying Zijing asked, "What are you doing?"
Fu Yunshen raised an eyebrow: "We agreed that I would teach you to dance, Yaoyao, give your brother some face?"
Although she really didn't like dancing, Ying Zijing still put her hands on it.
Nie Chao suddenly shivered: "I...I'd better go and entertain the guests."
He wrapped his clothes tightly around himself and left immediately.
He feared that if he didn't leave soon, he would be assassinated.
**
Because of Ying Zijin, Grandpa Zhong and Ying Tianlu were also invited.
Grandpa Nie wanted to help Ying Tianlu expand his connections and network, so he sent him to interact with the young masters of other families.
Several older people stayed upstairs and set up a mahjong table.
"Hello, hello." Grandpa Nie shook hands with Grandpa Zhong and bowed. "You have a wonderful granddaughter who saved Chao'er's life. I really don't know how to thank her."
“She also saved my life and my grandson’s life.” Mu Heqing also spoke up, sighing, “Otherwise, this old man would have died in Shanghai last year.”
Fifth Chuan, who was in a wheelchair due to mobility issues, said, "Master... Miss Ying also saved Yueyue's life, and I am extremely grateful."
Grandpa Zhong's hands were being shaken incessantly, and his body was cracked.
Who are these people in front of him?
The head of a top family in the capital!
These are all people whom the four most powerful families in Shanghai would never have the opportunity to meet, yet now they're all... playing mahjong with him.
His granddaughter is so amazing?!
Grandpa Zhong, feeling dizzy, picked up a North Wind tile, looked at it, and happily pushed the tile away: "Hey, I won! Pay up!"
Grandpa Nie: "..."
Mu Heqing: "..."
Fifth Chuan stroked his long beard, accidentally plucked a tuft, and hissed.
No wonder they're related to their master; they share the same love for making money.

After the banquet, Ying Zijing returned to her room and made a video call.
She had originally planned to bring Wen Fengmian to the capital as well, but he was still unwilling, saying he would wait a little longer.
So she contacted Norton University and asked them to send a private plane to pick up Wen Fengmian.
In the video, Wen Fengmian and Wen Tinglan are together.
"Dad, Xiaolan," Ying Zijing leaned back in her chair, "How is she?"
"It's fine." Wen Fengmian smiled. "It's my first time at Norton University, and Dad is still a little unaccustomed to it."
The three of them chatted for a while, and the atmosphere was quiet.
After the video call ended, Wen Fengmian looked at the table of dishes that the vice principal had prepared for them and fell silent.
Although he has been in Qingshui County all these years.
This place is a poverty-stricken area, without even internet access, but he still makes a point of going there to sell newspapers.
Everyone knows how strong Norton University is.
Thousands of students are eager to go there, but none of them can actually get in.
But now, the vice president of Norton University personally delivers meals to them and asks if they need anything, offering to come whenever they need it.
Wen Fengmian set out the tableware, paused, and then spoke: "Yuyu, your sister..."
Wen Tinglan has been teaching at Norton University for more than half a year, and her ability to learn has greatly improved.
Every week, the vice principal would call him over, have a friendly talk with him, and even give him a special lecture.
Sometimes he felt that the vice principal was really crazy.
Wen Tinglan raised her head, her expression serious: "She is my sister, and always will be."
No matter what changes occur in Ying Zijin, this point will not change.
Wen Fengmian paused for a moment, then smiled slightly: "It's good that you think this way."
He paused, then softened his voice: "Yuyu, there are some things you might not like to hear. What will you do if they come looking for you one day?"
"There's nothing I can do." Wen Tinglan said indifferently, "She's my only sister. I don't have a mother."
He was only a few days old at that time and had no memory of it.
But the fact that his biological mother was able to so decisively take all the money and leave with her eldest daughter shows that she had no feelings for them.
