Chapter 75 Openly Slapping Them in the Face
Although his voice was the usual cold tone, his manner of speaking was calm.
The secretary was so startled by the natural way the word "Miss Ying" was uttered that she stood there for a long time, speechless.
Jiang Moyuan's movements also froze.
His usually indifferent expression shattered instantly, revealing an unusual look of disbelief.
Ying Zijing stopped and turned around.
She raised the brim of her hat slightly, her phoenix eyes misty with tears: "Mr. Nie."
"You're too kind," Nie Yi said slowly. "Miss Ying helped my brother, and I haven't even had a chance to thank her yet."
Ying Zijin wasn't surprised. She nodded and said, "I know a little bit about it, so I didn't save you."
She said that the first thing she said when they met was just a casual remark, something that might fool the naive and innocent Nie Chao.
However, it's impossible to fool Fu Yunshen or Nie Yi.
Although fortune tellers have gradually faded from public view since the beginning of the 21st century, they are not nonexistent, but very few are truly proficient.
Large families typically have a permanent feng shui master.
“Regardless, Miss Ying did remind my brother.” Nie Yi paused. “If you have time, I’ll treat you to a meal.”
"Alright." Ying Zijing nodded slightly. "If Mr. Nie has nothing else to say, I'll take my leave now."
"There is something," Nie Yi paused for a moment, then asked the same question repeatedly, "What does Miss Ying like?"
"..."
Jiang Moyuan's jaw tightened, and his face turned ugly.
The secretary was stunned, her mind went blank, and once again she was completely taken aback by Nie Yi's words.
Back then, he went to Qingshui County with Jiang Moyuan to pick up Ying Zijin, so how could he not know her true worth?
She's bad at studying, yet she wants to climb the social ladder by hooking up with men, which is extremely distasteful.
But now?
The eldest grandson of the Nie family in the capital actually asked Ying Zijin what she liked.
Isn't this a blatant slap in their face?
Ying Zijin raised an eyebrow: "It's delicious."
“I understand.” Nie Yi thought for a moment and knew how to reply to Fu Yunshen. “I’ll take Miss Ying back.”
"No need for that." Ying Zijing yawned. "Thank you, Mr. Nie, for today's matter as well."
Nie Yi didn't insist: "See you later."
He glanced at his watch and was about to leave.
As he left, he didn't even glance at the two people beside him, as if they weren't worth looking at at all.
The secretary had no idea what Jiang Moyuan was thinking; he felt both embarrassed and awkward.
Especially at the entrance of King Club, where people come and go, eyes are always on you.
After all, everyone in Shanghai knows Jiang Moyuan.
The eldest grandson of the Nie family ignored them and instead called out to an adopted daughter.
The secretary, head bowed, her face burning with pain, said, "Third Master, we..."
"Cancel today's social engagements." Jiang Moyuan's aura was extremely low, and his face was terribly cold. "Postpone all other matters to three days later, and tell them I need to rest."
The secretary was taken aback.
Jiang Moyuan is extremely dedicated to his work, often working through the night and basically without a break 365 days a year.
How could this be...?
The secretary didn't dare ask any more questions: "Yes, Third Master."
He bent down, opened the car door, and smiled: "Third Master, this Miss Ying is really something. Seeing that your approach didn't work, she found another target."
"Just a month ago, she was still with Young Master Fu. Isn't that a bit too fast?"
Jiang Moyuan didn't speak, his lips pressed tightly together, knowing that these were just words of comfort.
Did he get involved with the eldest grandson of the Nie family?
Let alone the four major wealthy families in Shanghai, they don't even qualify for the title of some medium-sized wealthy families in Beijing.
As for Ying Zijin...
Jiang Moyuan turned his head to look out the car window, his eyes slightly dark.

night.
Just as netizens were happily sharing Mr. Zhong's lottery draw, another big piece of gossip emerged.
[@TheTopLeaksOnlineV: It turns out the pianist who went to the hospital late at night wasn't pregnant, but disfigured!]
The accompanying images were carefully arranged in a nine-grid layout, taken from different angles, to ensure that netizens could see them clearly.
[Holy crap, it's a ghost!]
My mother asked me why I closed my eyes in fear.
[This... Ying Luwei has the nerve to create a persona of a beautiful pianist? ???]
Wow, she must put on so much makeup all the time, no wonder she's so shameless.
Ying Luwei's fans were already furious with Grandpa Zhong, and seeing this Weibo post only made them angrier.
[Another smear campaign, isn't it? Lu Wei isn't even in the entertainment industry, can you please stop smearing her?]
[The picture is so blurry, can you even recognize anyone? Marketing accounts, please stop spreading rumors and focus on Lu Wei's concert on May 16th.]
[Luvie will be playing Vera Hall's "Sun and Moon" at the concert. Everyone is welcome to come.]
However, because Ying Luwei's public image has collapsed considerably, her fans alone are simply unable to suppress the real comments.
[Hilarious! Didn't you guys recognize Ying Luwei just by her legs? This picture isn't even that blurry, how come you can't recognize her?]
[The fans are selectively blind, but then again, Jiang Moyuan can still... I have to admire him.]
This last Weibo post only lasted three hours before being deleted.
Netizens knew the reason, and after sighing "You can't mess with the rich and powerful," they went on to share the giveaway.

Three days later.
Almost a month into the new semester, the atmosphere in Class 19 is much better than before.
Surprisingly, quite a few people have started learning, and they even ask each other questions after class.
It wasn't that I really wanted to learn, but I had listened to Ying Zijing give several biology lessons, and I really didn't want to let her down.
With their father being such a brilliant student, how could they possibly hold back their academic achievements?
"Dad Ying, we bought some barbecue and beer." The younger brothers came in beaming, carrying several bags. "It's a treat for you."
Ying Zijing put down her pen: "I'm not hungry yet, you guys eat first."
"It's okay, we'll buy more when we're hungry." One of the younger men glanced around. "Where's Sister Yu?"
Ying Zijing lowered her head again: "I've gone to walk the pig for me."
The underlings: "..."
This is outrageous!
They also want to walk the pigs.
"No way, I can't let Sister Yu have Dudu all to herself." The younger brother walked out angrily and made a phone call, "Sister Yu, where are you? Oh, near East Lake, okay, okay!"
Before he could even step out the door, Ying Zijin suddenly stood up.
The younger brother was taken aback.
The girl's features were aloof, and her voice was icy: "I'll go with you."
**
East Lake is a major scenic spot at Qingzhi. The school also keeps several black swans, and students like to take walks along the lake.
It's just that it's lunchtime now, so there aren't many people yet.
A girl was walking arm in arm with Zhong Zhiwan when she suddenly pointed ahead and asked, "Zhiwan, look what's that?"
Zhong Zhiwan glanced over indifferently and found that it seemed to be a very small pig.
"Ah, I remember now!" The girl slapped her forehead. "This is Ying Zijing's pet. Those good-for-nothings in Class 19 are always showing it off."
Zhong Zhiwan frowned: "A pet?"
“A small county town is just a small county town,” the girl scoffed. “Raising pigs? I don’t know what her hobby is. I’m really speechless.”
"Pets are not allowed on campus." Zhong Zhiwan looked at the water and said calmly, "Go pick it up and throw it into the lake."
Nie Yi: Why don't you just ask him directly?
Fu Yunshen: ?
Brother Nie is a total straight man, the kind that's as straight as they come.
