Chapter 74 Knows Clearly Who the Real Adopted Daughter Is
A round trip to O continent would take at least ten days.
Moreover, the Ying family has always claimed that Ying Zijing is their adopted daughter.
If she were to throw a lavish birthday party for Ying Zijin, wouldn't it arouse suspicion from the outside world?
Didn't the scandal involving the Ying family from over a decade ago also come to light?
Grandpa Zhong's expression instantly turned cold: "No time?"
“Dad, Wanwan has been pampered by Zhenting and me since she was little, and she has never suffered any hardship.” Zhong Manhua pursed her lips and lowered her voice. “She’s all alone in a foreign land in Europe, with no one to rely on. We can’t let her spend her birthday alone, can we?”
"Wanwan?" Old Master Zhong slammed his fist on the table in anger. "That was Zijing's childhood name! You fucking gave her an adopted daughter, and you still have the nerve to say such things?!"
The character “婠” represents virtuous character and graceful figure, which is why this character was chosen in the first place.
“Dad!” Zhong Manhua pressed her temples and had to change her address. “If it weren’t for Xiao Xuan, I might have ended up in a mental hospital back then.”
After the baby was lost, she became increasingly weak, unable to sleep or eat properly.
If Ying Zhenting hadn't adopted a child, she didn't know if she could have survived.
"You deserve it!" Old Master Zhong was even angrier. "Didn't you know that Zijing was only a little over a year old at the time? Why did both of you have to go out for everything?"
He paused, trying to calm himself down, but his anger gave him a headache: "I really don't understand, you abandoned your own daughter and found an adopted one to replace her."
"Zhong Manhua, you're awesome! I'm totally impressed!"
Zhong Manhua was also furious and embarrassed after being scolded: "Dad, didn't I bring Zijin back? Yes, I was wrong about donating blood, but have I ever neglected her in terms of food, clothing, and shelter?"
"You shouldn't have treated her unfairly in the first place!" Old Master Zhong laughed angrily. "You should have made amends, but what happened? You let an adopted daughter step on your own daughter's head. Have you lost your mind?!"
Zhong Manhua's expression finally changed, and she said coldly, "Dad, you've always been very good to Xiaoxuan, how could you..."
"No matter what, Zijing is my biological granddaughter." Old Master Zhong said coldly, "How much suffering has she endured all these years? I can't let an adopted daughter surpass her."
He knew perfectly well who the real adopted daughter was.
Zhong Manhua remained silent.
It's not that she doesn't love Ying Zijing; after all, he's her own flesh and blood.
But every time she compared Ying Zijin and Xiao Xuan, she became both angry and anxious.
Neither academic nor artistic pursuits can compare.
She also had very poor manners, and she couldn't even get Ying Zijin to a high-society banquet.
"You can leave now." Old Master Zhong waved his hand, utterly disappointed. "Since you don't want to do it, I'll do it myself."
He gave her the opportunity, but Zhong Manhua couldn't seize it, so there was nothing he could do.
Zhong Manhua's heart was pounding; she felt something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
She took a deep breath, said nothing more, and got up to leave.

After Ying Zijin left, Fu Yunshen watched as Nie Chao cleaned up the broken eggs before leading him outside.
After turning down a long corridor, we arrived at the innermost room.
"Seventh...Seventh Young Master..." Nie Chao's throat bobbed, "...Can I run away?"
"Hmm?" Fu Yunshen lifted his eyelids and smiled, "No, go in."
As soon as Nie Chao entered, he saw the man sitting on the sofa.
His legs went weak, and he almost knelt down: "B-Big Brother."
He had a premonition that a brutal beating was about to happen.
However, to Nie Chao's surprise, Nie Yi only glanced at him and said, "You go out first, and come back to the hotel with me in a while."
"Huh?" Nie Chao was more confused than anything else, having narrowly escaped death.
He scratched his head, not caring why, and ran off quickly.
The room returned to silence.
Fu Yunshen nestled on the opposite sofa, tugged at the buttons on his shirt, and said casually, "Your younger brother has really caused me a lot of trouble."
“I’m sorry, Yun Shen.” Nie Yi paused for a moment, “The old man spoiled him too much and spoiled him rotten.”
"That's good too." Fu Yunshen lowered his eyes and smiled. "Carefree, it's enviable."
They sent Nie Chao away because they didn't want him to get involved in this mess.
Nie Yi pressed his temples: "I checked, and the one who issued the bounty was the Jing family in the capital. The target wasn't actually Xiao Chao."
"Hmm." Fu Yunshen said calmly, "On one hand, we're forcing you to come back; on the other hand, we're throwing the Nie family into chaos."
Although Nie Chao is a playboy, he is also the eldest grandson of the Nie family, and many people are eyeing him.
“That bounty is now invalid.” Nie Yi turned his head. “Yun Shen, do you know who made the move?”
It's truly strange that he was able to rescue Nie Chao from the sharpshooter ranked ninety-fourth on the list without showing his face or leaving a trace.
“Nie Chao’s phone was hacked by an unknown person. I had someone try to crack it, but they couldn’t.” Fu Yunshen said lazily, his arm draped over the back of the sofa. “According to him, a mysterious person told him where to hide, and that’s how he dodged those bullets.”
Nie Yi frowned: "It's not very credible."
If such a person really existed, wouldn't the Sharpshooter Ranking be rendered useless?
“I think so too.” Fu Yunshen tilted his head. “But since such a person exists, we really need to look for him.”
Nie Yi nodded: "I will mention it to IBI."
Fu Yunshen raised his peach blossom eyes, seemingly lost in thought: "Do you have a little girlfriend?"
A sudden turn of events made Nie Yi pause: "That's not true."
"I'm not mocking you for being an ascetic, I'm just asking you, what do seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls like?"
"..."

Shaoren Hospital.
Ying Zijing leaned back in her swivel chair, listening to the dean report on the situation over the past few days.
Because ancient medicine requires internal strength, which cannot be learned by anyone other than a martial artist.
So she simply distributed some materials on traditional Chinese medicine and brought in some electronic equipment.
The 21st century cannot do without high technology.
It is indeed much more convenient than before.
After the dean finished speaking, he asked, "Miss Ying, Mr. Sheng would like to see you. When would you be available?"
Ying Zijing then remembered that this was the first patient she had treated. She nodded slightly: "It's the end of the month. I've been quite busy lately."
"Okay." The dean stood up and saw the girl out. "I'll go and reply right away."
Ying Zijing glanced at the time; it was already six o'clock.
She thought for a moment and decided to go to the supermarket to buy some things so she could cook some medicinal food for Wen Fengmian when she got back.
Just as they reached the King Club ahead, they ran into Jiang Moyuan, who was getting out of his car.
The secretary frowned: "Third Master, she..."
Jiang Moyuan waved his hand to stop them. He looked at the girl and sneered, "You were following me?"
It was indeed a case of feigning indifference to lure the prey.
It's the same as always.
Ying Zijing didn't stop walking and kept going, as if she hadn't seen him at all.
Jiang Moyuan loosened his tie, feeling very irritated.
His expression was cold, and he didn't want to say anything more before heading into the King Club.
But at that moment, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of someone turning around the street corner.
He saw it by the window a few days ago.
Jiang Moyuan was slightly taken aback.
The eldest grandson of the Nie family in the capital actually came to Shanghai?
Why are you still here?
Whatever the reason, it's an important opportunity.
Jiang Moyuan nodded to the man, his imposing aura subdued, and he lowered his posture slightly: "Young Master Nie."
Nie Yi didn't even glance at him, and walked straight towards the girl, saying, "Miss Ying."
It'll be released on the 22nd of this month with a ton of updates! Is anyone still reading?
The comment section feels empty, and I'm starting to panic.
And then, did you leave me even a tiny bit of monthly votes? _(:з」∠)_
