Chapter 24 Ying Luwei never expected this
The secretary was taken aback, then understood.
This means they're completely giving up on this adopted daughter of the Ying family.
Jiang Moyuan closed his eyes: "If there's nothing else, you can go down."
"Third Master, please get some rest." The secretary carefully closed the door.
After leaving, he shook his head.
He had accompanied Third Master to inspect Qingshui County before. At that time, this adopted daughter of the Ying family was still very simple and honest. Now?
Sure enough, they were tempted by the bright lights and bustling city life, becoming restless and only wanting to climb the social ladder.
Fortunately, Third Master saw it clearly.
The secretary thought for a moment, then went to the break room, took out her phone, and made a call: "Miss Luvia..."
**
After several days of recuperation, Wen Fengmian's health improved considerably.
However, because the illness has been lingering for a long time, it cannot be cured in a day or two.
The first batch of medicine had been used up, so Ying Zijin specially ordered some fresh medicinal herbs.
Shanghai is not located near mountains, so all medicinal herbs are imported from other places.
Because she needed only top-grade medicinal herbs, she spent hundreds of thousands of yuan on just a few dozen kilograms.
While waiting, Ying Zijing went into a dessert shop next door and ordered a mango sticky rice ball dessert.
She took out her newly bought phone, turned it on, and the screen displayed all sorts of apps, all of which she planned to use.
The biggest advantage of new technology is that she won't be bored.
Ying Zijing opened one of them and looked at herself with the two rabbit ears on, lost in thought.
I heard this is called taking a selfie, it sounds pretty interesting.
She casually fiddled with the camera, picked out a filter and accessory, and pressed the shutter.
"Snap—"
The crisp sound made the person sitting at the opposite table look up.
She was a girl wearing a sun hat and sunglasses, concealing herself quite well.
She frowned, displeased: "How did they all track me here? Tell her to delete the photos. I don't want to be trending because of embarrassing pictures."
The assistant understood and immediately stepped forward: "Delete the photos you took. Sister Luo doesn't like fans taking pictures of her, understand?"
“If you insist on filming, we can sue.”
The sound wasn't loud, but all the customers in the dessert shop heard it.
They all looked over, very curious.
"A celebrity just walked in? Look, look! Isn't that him? Holy crap, what kind of god-like looks are those?!"
"You mean that girl in the black shirt? Absolutely impossible. You'd never forget her face after just one meeting. There's no one like her in the entertainment industry."
"No, it's that one over there, Luo Ziyue. Have you heard of her? She was the tenth place winner in 'Youth 101,' a really popular talent show."
"I think I've heard of it, but I don't really remember it..."
There was a lot of discussion around.
Seeing that the girl had no intention of deleting the photos, the assistant reached out to grab the phone from her hand without saying a word.
Not only did they fail to grab one, but they also reached directly into the mango sticky rice ball.
Ying Zijing then looked up and said calmly, "You've dirtied my dessert."
"Who told you not to delete the photos?" the assistant said angrily. "You insisted on coming here with Sister Luo. Don't you know how to show some respect?"
Upon hearing this, the customers suddenly realized what was going on.
She's so good-looking, how could she be a sasaeng fan?
Ying Zijing closed the app: "Who?"
"..."
A sudden awkward moment.
The assistant froze.
Luo Ziyue, who hadn't moved, stood up. She took off her sunglasses, revealing a bright face, and looked very impatient: "You don't need to pretend you don't know me. I've seen plenty of people like you. Yesterday, you guys chased me so much that I even lost a shoe. And you still won't let me go today?"
She hates obsessive fans who leave her with no private space at all.
Ying Zijing looked up, glanced at him, and said with considerable grace, "I don't chase after ugly people, thank you."
Some people around laughed out loud.
Luo Ziyue was furious and was about to speak when a female student next to her stepped forward.
"I was at the next table and saw it all clearly. The girl was taking a selfie; she wasn't taking a picture of you at all."
He muttered to himself, "She's so good-looking, why would she take a picture of you instead of herself?"
If she had a face like that, she could admire herself in the mirror every day and wouldn't need to follow any celebrities.
After the female student said this, several of her friends also agreed.
"Yeah, the girl really didn't take your picture, she definitely doesn't know you."
"To be honest, we didn't recognize you at all because you were wearing sunglasses."
Luo Ziyue's face turned pale; she was extremely embarrassed.
With "Youth 101" being so popular, how could there really be people who don't know her?
"Pay up." Ying Zijing looked down at her phone, ignoring him completely.
The girl was languid and spoke in a nonchalant tone, yet she exerted immense pressure on the listener without her even realizing it.
The assistant's face turned deathly pale.
With everyone around watching, Luo Ziyue couldn't just turn her back and walk away; that would affect her popularity.
Reluctantly, she pulled three hundred-yuan bills from her bag, slammed them on the table, and spat out the words through gritted teeth: "Is that enough?"
"The counter is over there."
"..."
Luo Ziyue was both ashamed and angry, her face turning bright red. She had no choice but to go to the counter and order another serving herself.
After what happened, she was no longer in the mood to stay and hurriedly left with her assistant, looking quite disheveled.
Ying Zijing twirled the long spoon in her hand, preparing to take this portion back to Wen Tinglan.
While we were waiting for our food, the female student from before cautiously approached us: "Miss, are you a trainee from which company?"
"Hmm?" Ying Zijing was quite patient with the little girl. "No."
"Ah..." The female student scratched her head, "Miss, if you ever enter the entertainment industry, I'll definitely be your fan!"
Ying Zijing yawned: "No, and I won't go in again."
She has no interest in acting, and no one can stop her from retiring.
The female student wasn't discouraged and tentatively asked, "Miss, can I take a picture with you? I promise I won't spread it around and damage your reputation."
Ying Zijin raised an eyebrow slightly: "It's alright, I don't mind."
Yeah, I'll also learn some selfie techniques while I'm at it.
After taking the photos with her phone, the female student happily went home.
Then I posted a Weibo post.
[@RoundPeachLovesTooth: I'm in Shanghai, and I met a really cool and stylish girl. Someone from "Youth 101" who seems to have connections thought she was filming her, but it turns out they didn't even know her. To avoid exposing her privacy, I've blurred her face.]
The female student is a blogger with 100,000 followers, and within an hour, the post had been retweeted several hundred times.
[It's obviously Luo Ziyue. She only got the last debut spot because of her relationship with some rich young master. She really thinks she's so famous.]
[I'm dying of laughter, hahaha! The strangers didn't even recognize her, but she thought they were filming her. She's so shameless!]
[Even though we can't see her face, this girl's figure is so enviable! Will she ever enter the entertainment industry?]
[Did you see the brand of phone she's using? Vertu, a real luxury phone, even more expensive than an iPhone. She's probably a rich heiress; they wouldn't go into the entertainment industry.]
This Weibo post wasn't very popular, but it still got over 100,000 views.
Coincidentally, Ying Luwei's agent saw this Weibo post.
He felt the figure was familiar and pushed the phone to Ying Luwei: "Luwei, take a look, isn't this your fake niece?"
Ying Luwei was touching up her makeup when she glanced at the screen casually and said, "It's her."
"Is she planning to enter the entertainment industry?" the agent asked seriously. "If she does, it would be best if she signed with us, so we can control her better."
He had met the adopted daughter of the Ying family; her beauty was undeniable.
It must be admitted that if it weren't for her chronic anemia and lack of energy, Ying Luwei wouldn't be able to compare.
We must not let her influence Ying Luwei.
Upon hearing this, Ying Luwei paused, "I'll make a call and ask."
However, the call never went through.
Ying Luwei never expected that she would be blocked.
A strange sense of unease welled up inside me, as if something was completely out of my control.
Her agent noticed her unusual behavior: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing," Ying Luwei smiled. "They're probably busy. I'll go back to the old house in a bit."
The agent, knowing her situation, nodded: "Anyway, you need to be careful. Luckily, the trending topic was removed in time that day."
Ying Luwei didn't speak, but pursed her lips.
**
After delivering the medicinal herbs back to Wen Fengmian's residence, Ying Zijing received a call from Fu Yunshen.
She went downstairs, and the car was already waiting there.
She had made plans with him; she was going to treat him to dinner today.
After she got in the car and fastened her seatbelt, the man turned to look at her, raised an eyebrow, and asked in a sly tone, "What are you planning to treat your brother to?"
Ying Zijing thought for a moment: "How about hot pot skewers? I've never tried them before."
She'd heard junk food was delicious and really wanted to eat it.
“Hmm, I’ve never eaten here before either.” Fu Yunshen picked up his phone and started searching. “You’re not in good health, find a reputable and hygienic place.”
As soon as I opened it, my phone vibrated; a new message had appeared.
"Drip, drip, drip."
Fu Yunshen lowered his head, his expression changing slightly.
Yao Yao won't enter the entertainment industry; she's a powerful figure behind the scenes and won't show her face in public.
P.S.: None of the entertainment industry characters have a real-life counterpart; please do not draw any conclusions based on them.
Vertu: A mobile phone brand, with the most expensive models costing over 100,000 yuan.
