Although the Mu family is descended from a military family, they have been engaged in business over the years and have already become the most powerful business empire in the imperial capital.
Not to mention the four wealthy families in Shanghai, even the business families in the imperial capital had to establish good relations with the Mu family.
"Are you talking about Chen Zhou? He followed Wan Wan to Qing Zhi today, saying he wanted to take a look around the campus." Madam Mu smiled, "You know, young people are very active, and we can't control them."
"Is that so?" Zhong Manhua felt a little uncomfortable, "Sister-in-law, I have troubled you these days. I plan to take Chen Zhou back to the Ying family."
It is true that the Zhong family is her maternal family, but since she has married into the Ying family, she has to consider the Ying family.
"Take her back?" Mrs. Zhong's face suddenly turned ugly. "Why do you want to take her back so suddenly? Didn't you say that you were afraid that the adopted daughter would offend Chen Zhou, so you sent her to the Zhong family?"
Zhong Manhua was embarrassed and awkward: "Zijin has already moved out, there is no such thing as a conflict."
"Moved out?" Mrs. Zhong was surprised. "Didn't you bring her from the small county town? How could she be willing to move out?"
Zhong Manhua did not answer, but just said: "Mrs. Mu handed Shen Zhou to me personally, so it is better for him to be in the Ying family."
"Manhua, you are wrong." Mrs. Zhong was also very tough, "Xiaoxuan is abroad, and no one in the Ying family is the same age as Chen Zhou. Are you going to let him be bored alone?"
"I think it's better to let Wanwan take her first, and when Xiaoxuan comes back, it won't be too late to let Chen Zhou go to the Ying family."
Although she was able to marry into the Zhong family, Mrs. Zhong is not a good person either.
Since Zhong Manhua had given her such a good opportunity to contact the Mu family, how could she let it go?
Zhong Manhua opened her mouth, but couldn't come up with a good reason, so she could only agree: "That's it, Xiaoxuan will be back in mid-June, it won't be long."
Mrs. Zhong frowned slightly.
So fast?
Today is May 31st.
Mrs. Zhong's thoughts turned over and over again. She had already figured it out in her mind and smiled again: "Okay, let's do it."
——
noon.
While eating, Wen Tinglan only ate rice and didn't touch any of the vegetables.
He seemed to have returned to his protective shell, refusing all communication with the outside world.
Wen Tinglan's mood has been a little off these past two days, and even if he tried his best to hide it, Ying Zijin couldn't help but notice it.
She had learned micro-expressions and could detect them even if they flashed for only a fifth of a second.
"I'm fine." Wen Tinglan just clenched his chopsticks when she asked him, "The college entrance examination is coming soon, and the pressure is a bit high."
Ying Zijin was silent for a moment.
Even though Wen Tinglan had basically recovered, he still habitually isolated his emotions and was unwilling to say anything.
When she was bitten by a snake, Wen Tinglan half carried her on his back and half supported her to the hospital. His own foot was severely sprained, but he didn't say a word.
"If you have anything to say, tell me." Ying Zijin put an apple in his hand. "It's not good for your condition to keep it in your heart."
"I'm really fine." Wen Tinglan lowered her head, "Sister, you go and have a rest. You were in a car accident a while ago. I'm fine."
Ying Zijin didn't ask any more questions, because she knew that if she continued asking, the effect would be counterproductive.
She picked up the chopsticks and picked up some food for him.
Wen Tinglan broke the silence after finishing a mouthful of rice: "Sister, are you really going to have nothing to do with the Ying family from now on?"
"Well, no more." Ying Zijin leaned lazily on the chair, "You can play as you like."
The boy's expression broke slightly.
"You reminded me." Ying Zijin seemed to be thinking about something. "Starting tomorrow, you and I will run five kilometers every day to keep fit."
The boy's expression was completely broken.
He shouldn't have talked to his sister.
What bad luck.
——
Wen Tinglan returned to the classroom in a depressed mood, took out the pillow and earplugs prepared for him by Ying Zijin, and started studying.
Ying Zijin stood at the door of the senior high school gifted class for a while and called out to the class monitor.
The monitor was also a boy, and he was a little reserved: "Hello, sister."
Although the students in the third year of high school are still older than Ying Zijin, they are used to following Wen Tinglan and calling her sister.
And they also knew that in the mid-term exam of the second year of high school, there was an abnormal person in the gifted class who got a perfect score.
Not to mention calling them sister, they are willing to call them grandma.
As long as I can learn something.
Ying Zijin glanced at Wen Tinglan and whispered, "Sorry for the trouble. Let's talk over there."
The squad leader scratched his head and followed.
"Has something happened these days?" Ying Zijin asked, "Xiao Lan is in a bad mood."
"Sister, don't tell Tinglan that it was us who said it." The monitor hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Sister, do you know that the school has three people qualified for interviews at Norton University?"
Ying Zijin nodded: "You continue."
"The interview qualifications were decided long ago. Two will be given to the international class, and one will be given to the top student in the grade, Ting Lan." The class monitor said, "After all, he scored full marks in the joint exam of the three schools."
The three-school joint examination is an examination held by the top three high schools in China.
The difficulty of the test paper is naturally high, but it is far less difficult than that of the elite class.
"The interview at Norton University is just a few days after the college entrance exam, and Tinglan has been preparing for it for a long time." The class monitor was very angry. "The day before yesterday, the teacher who was fired from the international class came and said that Tinglan would not be eligible for the interview because, because..."
Ying Zijin completed what he hadn't said: "Because I am his sister."
"Sister, this is not your fault." The squad leader said anxiously, "It was that He who was seeking revenge. He is so petty. It's a pity for Ting Lan..."
With Wen Tinglan's IQ, it is a safe bet for him to enter Norton University.
But if you don't have the qualifications for an interview, no matter how talented you are, it's useless.
Just yesterday, the entire senior high school elite class protested, but He Xun remained unmoved.
Although the interview qualification for Norton University was assigned by the president, He Xun still had to lead the team to go to Norton University.
If he didn't want to, Wen Tinglan couldn't go.
And the most important thing is not that his interview qualification was taken away, but that Hexie said in front of Wen Tinglan that he would not be given the interview qualification because he was Ying Zijin's younger brother, which would deal a blow to his psychology.
The senior class for gifted students also knew about his illness and were usually very careful when interacting with him.
Wen Tinglan is two years younger than them, so he is considered to be taking care of his younger brother.
"I understand." Ying Zijin had no expression. "Don't let him know. I will handle this matter."
"Don't worry, sister. We will all comfort Tinglan." The squad leader hesitated for a moment, "Sister, don't go find that guy named He. Tinglan definitely didn't want you to have a conflict with him, so he didn't tell you."
"Yeah, I know." Ying Zijin said calmly, "Thank you for telling me. Go back and do well in the college entrance examination."
Hearing this, the squad leader suddenly took three steps back.
He took out a pen from his schoolbag, held it between his hands, and bowed three times to the girl.
Ying Zijin was thinking about something, and when she noticed his action, he had already finished bowing.
The monitor took a deep breath and ran away: "Hahahaha, you idiots are finished, I worship the God of Ying today, I will definitely do better than you in the college entrance examination!"
His devilish laughter echoed throughout the corridor.
Ying Zijin: “…”
No wonder Wen Tinglan said that all the students in the class were stupid.
She saw it too.
——
After He Xun was fired by Qingzhi, he rented a single apartment next to Qingzhi.
However, the conditions of this apartment were much worse than those of the housing allocated by the school. He Xun was used to living in the school housing, and he was not used to this place. There was not even someone responsible for cooking.
But there was no way, he couldn't leave until the interview at Norton University was over.
The elevator in this apartment building is broken, and the property management has not sent any workers to repair it.
He went to the supermarket to buy groceries today and had to climb eighteen floors.
He Xun was in a very low mood when he was checking out at the supermarket.
He walked out with the shopping bags, his expression cold.
As soon as he walked out of the supermarket, he was kicked.
The kick went straight to the abdomen, accurately hitting the most painful point.
Ruthless and used great force.
With a "bang", He Xun fell backwards and fell on the glass door of the supermarket.
Being suddenly attacked, no matter how good-tempered He Xun was, a hint of anger appeared in his eyes.
He stood up with the help of the glass door, and when he looked up, he saw the girl standing against the light.
The outline is hazy and the face is cold.
Having not seen each other for more than half a month, He Xun was stunned for a moment.
"You knew Wen Tinglan was my brother, so you took away his interview qualification? And you told him that?"
Apart from that public question, this was the first time that Ying Zijin spoke so much to him.
But her eyes did not fall on him, as if she regarded him as air, cold and indifferent.
Suddenly, He Xun felt embarrassed.
But what followed was a sense of relief.
"Are you angry?" He Xun didn't think there was anything wrong. "Yes, you should be angry because I took away what your brother deserved, but this is the law of survival in society."
"What doesn't belong to you will be taken away."
He Xun even smiled faintly, using his height advantage to look down on others.
At this moment, he finally had the capital to be proud again: "If you are really capable, then give your brother an interview qualification for Norton University's D-level college."
"But you don't. You don't even know where Norton University is."
Ying Zijin finally looked at him: "Who told you that I'm going to give him a D-level college?"
