Chapter 446 You Lost Your Own Daughter, You Deserved It [1 Update]
When Meng Ru saw the line of red text floating across the screen, she could hardly believe her eyes.
What did she see?
Although the Yuan family is not a prominent family in the capital, Meng Ru has been in high society for a long time and knows a lot about things.
Meng Ru knew that the only families that could be considered top-tier in the capital were the Nie family, the Mu family, the Fifth family, and the Xiu family.
Scientific research families like the Ji family are not well-known because many members of the Ji family have signed confidentiality agreements that prevent them from being exposed, so few people outside the family or online know about them.
Including Meng Ru, she had never even heard of the Ji family.
However, this does not mean that the Ji family's overall strength is poor.
On the contrary, because the Ji family's field was too special, Meng Ru and the others were simply not qualified to know about it.
Regardless, the Nie and Mu families represent the top tier of the major families in the capital.
The fifth family was slightly weaker in business, and therefore, from the outside perspective, they were considered inferior to the Nie and Mu families.
Ordinary people would never imagine that the fifth family is the most terrifying one.
But now, these three families have actually joined forces to hold a banquet, all for Ying Zijing?!
Meng Ru swayed, unable to stand steadily, and her face gradually turned pale.
She was surrounded by a noisy crowd, but she couldn't hear a word of it.
All that remained before my eyes were the three characters "Ying Zijin".
This name has been appearing in the news far too often these past two days.
Meng Ru could hear people discussing it as she walked down the street.
It was Yuan's father who broke the silence first: "So it was prepared for the top scorer in the college entrance examination."
It's certain that the Nie and Mu families will try to befriend high-tech talents.
But the college entrance exam results have only just been released, how could this be happening so quickly?
The only answer is that Ying Zijing already knew the Nie and Mu families and had a good relationship with them.
Meng Ru was having difficulty breathing.
Just then, someone called out to her.
She was a wealthy woman who seemed to get along well with her on the surface.
"Madam Yuan, what are you doing standing here?" The noblewoman looked surprised. "Oh, you don't know, do you? I suppose you don't know either. That is Ying Zijing, the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Shanghai."
"Both Elder Mu and Elder Nie like her very much. Today's graduation banquet was prepared for her. We are truly fortunate to be able to attend this banquet."
After the lady finished speaking, she went inside without even looking at Meng Ru's expression.
Meng Ru almost couldn't catch her breath before following him inside.
The banquet had not yet started, but many guests had already arrived.
Meng Ru searched around the banquet hall and finally spotted a familiar figure.
The girl walked towards the private room on the right, where there were many other people around her.
One of them was Grandpa Nie Yunjian.
Meng Ru, her breathing quickening, immediately stepped forward.
"mom!"
Neither Yuan Jiacheng nor his father could stop Meng Ru from walking over.
“Miss Ying, hello, I’m your grandmother’s friend.” Meng Ru was thick-skinned and didn’t remember what she had done before. Instead, she smiled reservedly. “My name is Meng Ru. I’m from the Yuan family. We’ve met before.”
One sentence silenced the entire banquet hall.
Many guests turned to look at them with surprise.
The banquet for other guests was held outside the main hall, while the banquet they prepared for Ying Zijing was in a private room.
So although they also wanted to befriend Ying Zijin, the Nie and Mu families were protecting her, so how could it be their turn?
The guests were very self-aware.
Neither Yuan's father nor Yuan Jiacheng expected that Meng Ru would actually go so directly.
Ying Zijin didn't speak, and didn't even raise her eyes.
Feeling completely ignored, Meng Ru felt very awkward.
"Okay, I remember now." Nie Chao looked at Meng Ru for a few seconds, "You're the crazy woman who was so rude and yelling on the plane last time?"
Meng Ru was taken aback: "What?"
She suddenly remembered something.
At the end of last year, she ran into Nie Chao and Fu Yunshen, the president of Venus Group Asia Pacific, on a plane.
The Nie family, the Mu family, and the fifth family had already caused her enough of a shock, but now there's the Venus Group too?!
Meng Ru looked at the girl, her face pale.
Only now does she realize what she has missed.
It was so close.
Otherwise, by now, the Yuan family would have already hitched a ride on the Venus Group's coattails!
"More than that." Xiu Yu crossed his arms and remembered Meng Ru, scoffing, "You don't know, back then when Ying's father and I came out of school, we ran into Ying Yuexuan, that fake heiress."
"The fake heiress played the victim and acted pitiful, but Father Ying ignored her, so this old woman accused her of being ill-mannered. Who is really ill-mannered here?"
Meng Ru's mind went blank for a moment; she hadn't expected Xiu Yu to just blurt it out like that.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Nie's expression darkened: "Meng Ru, the Yuan family?"
He had heard of the Yuan family before.
The Yuan family followed the same path as the Nie family, also dealing in electronic components.
He did indeed look at the proposal submitted by the Yuan family, but it was conventional and unremarkable, so he set it aside.
In Grandpa Nie's heart, Ying Zijing was no different from his own granddaughter.
Without Ying Zijin, Nie Chao wouldn't be alive today.
"Butler, escort this crazy woman out." Nie Chao knew that Old Master Nie was angry. "Didn't I say last time that Ying Yuexuan and those protecting her are not allowed to come in?"
Before Meng Ru could react, she was escorted out by two security guards.
The guests shook their heads repeatedly, none of them expecting to witness such a grand spectacle.
Ying Zijin and Xiu Yu also entered the private room.
Everyone took their seats in turn, and after a while, Fu Yunshen also came in.
He sat down next to the girl, his eyes flickering slightly: "Someone's causing trouble again?"
"Seventh Young Master, quickly praise me." Nie Chao asked for credit, "I protected the boss well, wasn't I a good brother?"
Fu Yunshen lifted his eyelids slightly: "You can just close your mouth."
Nie Chao: "..."
Grandpa Nie slapped Nie Chao on the head: "You brat, how old are you? When are you going to find me a granddaughter-in-law?"
Nie Chao remained silent, thinking to himself, "Not only do you have a granddaughter-in-law, but your great-grandson might just appear one day."
Meng Ru's matter quickly passed, and no one paid any attention to her anymore; everyone started eating.
Ying Zijin lowered her eyelashes: "They all say that the things in the heavens are the most unpredictable in this world."
The saying goes that things in the heavens are the most unpredictable, meaning that it's impossible to know what God wants to do—whether it's to send rain or thunder, or to destroy the world.
A powerful diviner can alter a person's fate, even the fate of a family, or even the destiny of a nation.
But when it comes to things related to the heavens, no matter how powerful you are, it's all in vain.
Even at her peak, she had to pay a heavy price to fight against fate.
Fu Yunshen peeled the shrimp and put them in her bowl, his voice low: "Hmm?"
“Now I’ve discovered it,” Ying Zijing said calmly, “The most unpredictable thing is the human heart.”
Fu Yunshen paused for a moment before slowly speaking: "Yaoyao, all you need to know is that if you are swayed by other people's words, they are not sincere towards you. These people are not worth your attention."
“That’s right, I never paid attention to it anyway.” Ying Zijing looked languid. She picked up her chopsticks, took a shrimp from the bowl, and held it to his lips. “Boyfriend, please have some shrimp.”
Fu Yunshen raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "Girlfriend, I don't mind if you feed me differently next time. This is too awkward, isn't it?"
Ying Zijin glanced at him.
"I meant with my hands." Fu Yunshen's mood improved considerably after finishing his meal. "Yaoyao, don't overthink it."
"Oh." Ying Zijing took the chopsticks back, expressionless. "You've corrupted me."
"..."
**
Outside the banquet hall.
Meng Ru stood in the wind, with eyes constantly sweeping over her from behind, making her extremely embarrassed.
Although the security personnel did not chase away Yuan's father and Yuan Jiacheng, they followed them out.
Yuan's father frowned: "What's wrong with you?"
Meng Ru didn't speak, but suddenly, her mind cleared up.
A fake heiress?!
As if realizing something, she retrieved Zhong Manhua's number from the blacklist and dialed it.
Zhong Manhua had been quite angry with Ying Yuexuan these past two days, so when Meng Ru asked her, she just told her directly.
Meng Ru hung up the phone, her face ashen: "What a Ying family! That fake phoenix deceived us!"
How could the Yuan family possibly marry an adopted daughter?
It turns out that Ying Zijing is the real daughter of the Ying family.
No matter what, Ying Yuexuan is no match for her in the slightest.
Meng Ru's chest heaved violently with anger.
"Sigh, you were at fault in this matter to begin with," Yuan's father sighed. "Never mind, let's go back."
"Mom, don't even think about trying to build connections with anyone," Yuan Jiacheng added. "Hard work is the most important thing."
Meng Ru pursed her lips, still feeling regretful: "Let's go."
**
Two days later, it was time to fill out college applications, and the cut-off scores for the Shanghai college entrance examination were also released.
First-tier university admission score: 532
Second-tier university admission score: 454
When Ying Yuexuan saw the first-tier university admission score, she felt a pang of sadness.
Although she passed the cutoff score for first-tier universities, it was practically the same as not passing; she could forget about getting into a top-tier university.
It's all Ying Zijin's fault.
If Ying Zijing hadn't repeatedly disturbed her mind, she wouldn't have been so preoccupied during the college entrance exam, constantly thinking about other things.
Ying Yuexuan also regretted it.
She valued Ying Zijing too much, only thinking about surpassing her, which ultimately led to her downfall.
I have no choice but to repeat a grade.
Ying Yuexuan found a public phone on the street and called Zhong Manhua: "Mom, I really didn't mean it this time. Can I repeat a year?"
She still held out hope for Zhong Manhua.
“I told you, don’t call me Mom!” Zhong Manhua clearly knew what the cutoff score for first-tier universities was. “I don’t have a daughter who only scored two points above the cutoff!”
"You still want to repeat a year? Do you know how much face you'll make me lose if you do? All your classmates are in college, and you're still in high school? Aren't you ashamed?!"
Upon hearing this, Ying Yuexuan's pent-up resentment finally burst forth.
What's wrong with her repeating a year?
Is it really normal to start over?
Ying Yuexuan screamed hysterically, "Face, face, face! Is face all you care about? You can't live without face?!"
Zhong Manhua was stunned for a moment. After a long while, she said incredulously, "You dare to yell at me?"
"Yes, I'll yell at you." Ying Yuexuan sneered, directly tearing off the pretense of civility. "You lost your own daughter, you deserved it, you brought it upon yourself!"
"Don't tell me it's for my own good, you're just doing it for your own shame! Now Ying Zijing is the top scorer in the college entrance exam, and I failed. You're upset, so you want to kick me out and bring her back."
"But you deserve it! She ignores you, and your brother is disappointed in you too. Don't you deserve it?"
Every word hit the nail on the head, striking at the heart with utmost cruelty.
Zhong Manhua slammed down the phone.
She was truly heartbroken and burst into tears; she was filled with despair.
She treated Ying Yuexuan no worse than Ying Tianlu.
Ying Yuexuan was not her biological daughter, but she treated her as her own.
And now, Ying Yuexuan is treating her like this?
Ying Yuexuan did so poorly on the exam, isn't it right for her to be angry?
Why can't any of her children understand her?
Zhong Manhua genuinely didn't want Ying Yuexuan to repeat a year of high school, lest it cause gossip.
But she didn't give up on Ying Yuexuan; she just couldn't save face and said a few more words.
She planned to send Ying Yuexuan abroad, and everything was ready.
There was nothing else they could do; Ying Yuexuan's college entrance exam score was too low.
But now, Zhong Manhua only feels heartbroken.
She lost her wonderful biological daughter because of an adopted daughter.
What is she after?
Before Zhong Manhua could even feel more grief, the landline rang. It was the First Hospital calling.
Zhong Manhua suddenly woke up with a start, immediately grabbed her bag, and hurriedly left home.
**
Twenty minutes later.
Zhong Manhua rushed to the hospital, accompanied by Ying Tianlu.
Ying Tianlu stepped forward, frowning: "Doctor, what happened? Wasn't it already stable?"
"The patient's condition was already poor, barely stable, but it suddenly worsened today." The attending physician looked flustered, wiping the sweat from his forehead with a tissue. "A liver transplant is necessary. Have you found a matching liver donor?"
Will our Xiaoxiang tickets reach 2,000 today? OvO
