Chapter 388 Coming-of-Age Ceremony, Identity Revealed [2 Updates]
Ying Tianlu's expression changed drastically in an instant: "Okay, I understand."
He hung up the phone, walked to the door, took his coat off the clothes rack, and started putting it on in a hurry.
"What's wrong?" Grandpa Zhong asked, puzzled. "You haven't even eaten yet."
He also planned to ask Ying Tianlu to help him choose photos of Ying Zijin and then make a birthday video.
Ying Tianlu fastened his buttons and pursed his thin lips: "I just received news from the hospital that my grandmother... Madam Ying, has become a vegetable. I'm going to the hospital."
The bonds of kinship and blood are too difficult to sever.
He would not forgive what Old Madam Ying had done to Ying Zijing, but he could not simply turn a blind eye to it all.
After all, Madam Ying had taken good care of him since he was a child.
Ying Tianlu has always been very clear about right and wrong.
Grandpa Zhong was taken aback and fell silent: "Life is unpredictable. All I can say is that we should do more good deeds."
Ying Zijin felt nothing.
She had already foreseen this when she went to the hospital that day.
There are only two possible outcomes for Madam Ying's future.
They are either in a vegetative state or have been cured.
Ying Tianlu nodded and went out.
After finishing her meal, Ying Zijing also left the Zhong family.
Grandpa Zhong went to his study alone, put on his reading glasses, and started browsing Weibo.
Although Ying Zijin is an ordinary person, she has a lot of fans and even a dedicated super topic, which has grown to two million people.
This number is already on par with top-tier celebrities.
Because Grandpa Zhong joined the Super Topic early, he has already become a big fan and a minor host.
After collecting the new material, he happily turned on his computer and started editing the video.

The following day at noon.
Fu Yunshen went to Qingzhi to pick up Ying Zijin for dinner.
"The news that Madam Ying has become a vegetable has spread throughout Shanghai." He took out a newspaper. "The First Hospital has even listed her condition as an unsolved mystery."
Ying Zijing glanced at it casually, then raised an eyebrow: "You guessed it?"
Fu Yunshen leaned back in his chair, looking languid: "It's likely that Ye Suhe also did something to her. The subtle tricks of ancient medicine are undetectable by modern technology."
"Hmm." Ying Zijin said calmly, "There's a little bug in her head, and that's where her headaches come from. When the bug moves around a lot, her headaches get worse."
"After a few years, it comes to the end. Once the central nervous system is damaged, the patient loses most of their motor functions and becomes a vegetable."
Ye Suhe learned ancient medicine from Shi Fengyi, which is a crooked and unorthodox approach and is not tolerated by the ancient medical community.
Although it's just the basics, it's more than enough to deal with an ordinary person like Madam Ying.
Madam Ying thought she had something on Ye Suhe, but she was completely unaware that she had been tricked by Ye Suhe all along.
Fu Yun lowered his gaze slightly: "It's true that there's no hope. As for the other comments, I've already had them removed. Don't take them to heart."
"Today—" Ying Zijing took a sip of soup, her tone calm, "someone confessed their feelings to me."
Fu Yunshen slowly raised his eyes, a smile playing on his lips: "Hmm? Someone else? How many is this?"
Ying Zijing yawned: "I haven't counted."
Fu Yunshen's expression remained unchanged, still with that nonchalant air: "So how did you answer?"
I won't tell you.
"..."
Fu Yunshen raised his peach blossom eyes and said in a coaxing tone, "Brother will treat you to candy?"
Ying Zijing glanced at him: "You're dreaming."
"Isn't everyone naturally curious?" Fu Yunshen said unhurriedly. "Then tell me, what would it take for you to tell me?"
"It depends on my mood."
"Okay." Fu Yunshen raised his hand, intending to pat the girl's head as usual, but it was slapped away.
"Don't touch my head."
Fu Yunshen: "?"
"You're petting a dog like that."
"..."

On the other side.
The First Hospital.
In the hospital ward.
Zhong Manhua looked at Old Madam Ying, who had become a vegetable, and still couldn't come to her senses.
There is a possibility that a person in a vegetative state can regain consciousness.
However, the doctor has already issued a diagnosis: Madam Ying cannot wake up; the only outcome will be worse—brain death.
But all of this could have been changed; instead, they blocked their own path to survival.
After changing the IV drip for Madam Ying, the doctor was about to leave.
At this moment, Zhong Manhua grabbed him: "Doctor, why did the old lady suffer such a shock? Haven't you found out yet?"
"No." The doctor glanced at Zhong Manhua with a hint of hidden pity. "Even without any stimulation, the old lady's illness is incurable. You should prepare for her funeral as soon as possible."
Zhong Manhua was stunned.
The doctor had already left. He turned into the restroom and said to the middle-aged man standing by the window, "Mr. Ying, your wife asked about it earlier, and I still say that we couldn't find anything."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zhenting turned around: "The surveillance footage has been deleted?"
"It's been deleted," the doctor said. "But if you want to check, you can still find it."
“No way.” Ying Zhenting threw his cigarette butt into the trash can. “She wouldn’t think of that.”
The doctor didn't want to get involved in the Ying family's affairs, so after saying a few more words, he left.
Ying Zhenting's face turned cold. He took out his phone and called Jing Hongzhen: "What are you doing at the First Hospital? You made my mother faint. She's in a vegetative state now. Are you satisfied?"
"The doctor said long ago that even if I hadn't been angry with her, she would have ended up like this. What does it have to do with me?" Jing Hongzhen smiled faintly. "I've already put up with her for a long time. Besides, did I make her a vegetable? If your good daughter had treated her, she could still be alive and well."
Ying Zhenting took a deep breath: "I'm warning you, this is the last time."
He hung up the phone and returned to his ward.
Zhong Manhua was still sitting in front of Madam Ying's sickbed, her eyes glazed over.
“Manhua,” Ying Zhenting stepped forward, “I need to discuss something with you.”
Zhong Manhua barely managed to come to her senses: "What is it?"
"The two children's coming-of-age ceremonies are coming up soon," Ying Zhenting said. "How about we hold them together this time, and then announce Zijing's identity later?"
Zhong Manhua was stunned for a moment, then blurted out subconsciously, "What about Xiaoxuan? Wouldn't announcing it directly have a huge impact on her? She didn't do anything wrong."
Ying Zhenting frowned: "Then what should we do?"
He truly hadn't expected that Zhong Manhua would be even more biased towards Ying Yuexuan than he was.
“Just say—” Zhong Manhua hesitated for a moment, “Just say I gave birth to twins, how about that?”
Ying Zhenting thought for a moment and said, "That's fine, let's do it this way. I'll have someone draft the invitations and send them out."
“Ke Zhenting, even if I beg Zijing, it’s no use.” Zhong Manhua’s fingers clenched her clothes. “Even if we reveal her identity, she definitely won’t come back.”
Ying Zhenting frowned even more: "We'll talk about this later. First, let's restore her status. Didn't she leave because Xiao Xuan was using her title as the eldest daughter of the Ying family?"
After saying that, he took out his phone and began contacting professionals.

On March 18th, the Ying family sent out invitations and also sent many to the students of Qingzhi.
However, these invitations did not reach the other families, large and small; they were all intercepted.
"Young Master," Yunshan said respectfully, clasping his hands in a fist salute, "these are all the invitations sent out by the Ying family."
Fu Yunshen took one of the invitations, opened it, and narrowed his peach blossom eyes slightly: "The Ying family has quite the scheme."
"They really think Miss Ying cares about the Ying family? Now they're all eager to cling to them." Yunshan sneered. "What a disgusting bunch of people."
What angered Yunshan the most was that the Ying family had written Ying Zijin and Ying Yuexuan as twin sisters.
Does Ying Yuexuan even deserve it?
"Make a change," Fu Yunshen said calmly. "Change it like this."
He handed the phone to Yunshan, which contained a message.
Upon seeing this, Yunshan couldn't help but applaud: "Young Master, brilliant!"
"After you've finished revising, send it out." Fu Yunshen lowered his head, his slender fingers twirling the pen. "Make sure it reaches everyone the Ying family wants to invite."
Yunshan agreed to everything, then he secretly glanced at the paper in Fu Yunshen's hand.
The above are several paintings.
There are formal dresses, jewelry, and so on.
Yunshan exclaimed in surprise, "Young Master, did you personally design this coming-of-age gift for Miss Ying?"
Fu Yunshen glanced at him: "If your mouth is fine, you'd better keep it shut."
Yunshan immediately went out to handle the matter.
He was very efficient; that very afternoon, all the major families in Shanghai received such an invitation.
There are also students from Qingzhi.
The school's invitations are all placed in the guard room and will be distributed to each class later.
Each student in the gifted class and Class 19 has one.
But that's not all; there's also a red banner hanging on the large screen at the school entrance.
The students all saw it as soon as get out of class ended.
We cordially invite you to the coming-of-age birthday banquet of Ying Yuexuan, the adopted daughter of the Ying family.
It's the last day! Babies, there's still time to grab your monthly passes.
I was still studying for my exams on New Year's Eve TvT
But then I thought about how my classmate had 18 subjects and I only had 10, and I instantly felt better. Yes, my classmate is studying medicine, lol.
