In the bedroom, the conversation continued.
"How are you not as good as me?" Ying Yuexuan said, "My attainments in calligraphy and painting are not as good as my sister's. I can't even get into the Chinese Calligraphy Artists Association."
Zhong Manhua did not feel comforted.
Her voice was almost resentful. "Besides this? What else? Yes, there was also the piano. It was a really good concert. It was played by Vera Hall."
"But these are things that a socialite should know. She knew them but she didn't tell me. You asked her to learn and do scientific research like you, but would she? Did she listen to me?"
If it were under normal circumstances, if Ying Zijin knew these things, she would definitely be very happy and her face would be very bright.
But before she could even enjoy this glory, Ying Zijin said he wanted to sever ties with them. Where could she put her face?
At the beginning, both Zhong Manhua and Ying Zhenting thought that Ying Zijin was just throwing a tantrum and would come back crying sooner or later.
But two months have passed and they haven't even seen the shadow of Ying Zijin.
Zhong Manhua wanted Mr. Zhong for help, but he simply turned her away.
The way the other brothers and sisters of the Zhong family looked at her made her extremely embarrassed.
Ying Yuexuan was stunned: "Concert?"
Anyone who has been exposed to music must be familiar with the name Vera Hall.
If Ying Zijin had played Vera Hall's piano music, the music world would have exploded long ago, and the video would have definitely gone viral on the Internet.
But she was abroad and didn't hear any news about this.
That's strange.
"Mom, everyone has different strengths." Ying Yuexuan didn't delve into it. She suppressed her last bit of patience and said, "My sister is good at art. You should be satisfied. I forgot to bring a homework to school. I'll go get it."
Zhong Manhua was more concerned about her studies and also stood up: "Then I'll take you there."
"No need." Ying Yuexuan didn't have time to hide, "Mom, if you have a headache, you should rest more."
She got up and went out, and only breathed a sigh of relief after closing the door.
But when he looked up, he saw Ying Tianlu standing against the wall.
Seeing her coming out, he turned his head
Ying Yuexuan's heartbeat stopped for a moment.
"elder brother?"
Even though she knew that this idea was wrong.
But the first thought that came to her mind was whether Ying Tianlu had heard her conversation with Zhong Manhua just now.
If you heard...
There was no change in Ying Tianlu's expression.
As usual, his features were dull.
He raised his chin; "Is mom crazy again?"
More than sixteen years ago, after the loss of her baby, Zhong Manhua suffered a severe mental blow.
I have seen many psychologists and taken many medicines over the years, but the disease has never been completely cured.
It was said that the trauma was too severe and he did not receive timely treatment.
"A little bit." Ying Yuexuan lowered her head, "Mom is really a little unreasonable."
At the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that Ying Tianlu didn't hear it. If he had heard it, he wouldn't be so calm.
"Yeah." Ying Tianlu glanced at the watch on his wrist, "I have something to do these few days and won't be home. If you can't stand mom, you can live in the school first."
Ying Yuexuan hesitated for a moment: "Brother, can't I live with you?"
Ying Tianlu also has an apartment in the city center.
She used to live there too.
"You are a grown-up girl now. Although we are siblings, we still have to avoid suspicion." Ying Tianlu smiled and said indifferently, "My friends are coming over too. It's not convenient."
Ying Yuexuan felt a little disappointed, but she didn't say anything: "Then brother, you go and get busy."
Ying Tianlu nodded, but did not go in to greet Zhong Manhua.
He went downstairs, picked up his car keys and went out.
However, he did not start the car.
He sat in the driver's seat and lit a cigarette.
Looking closely, the fingers are trembling.
More than sixteen years ago, he was only five years old and didn't remember things clearly.
All I remember is that his sister was missing and the house was in chaos.
Ten days later, his sister was found again.
But now it seems that it has obviously not been found.
His own sister has been living away from home for sixteen years.
I finally returned home, only to find that I had been replaced.
Name, nickname, birthday, identity, nothing is left.
Moreover, I have to be a living blood bank for my own aunt.
Ying Tianlu simply couldn't imagine how Ying Zijin managed to survive that year.
At first, he really thought that Zhong Manhua and Ying Zhenting adopted Ying Zijin because they looked alike and had a good impression of each other.
But this is his biological sister, and in the end, not only did she not receive the love of her family, but she was also given the title of an adopted daughter.
When he listened to the conversation between Ying Yuexuan and Zhong Manhua today, he suddenly realized that Ying Yuexuan knew about it.
At least I knew it earlier than her.
But she said nothing.
Even if Ying Tianlu knew that Ying Yuexuan had done nothing wrong, she was still young at the time and he couldn't blame her.
But whenever he thought about the fact that things that originally belonged to Ying Zijin were now taken by Ying Yuexuan, he couldn't accept it at all.
At the same age, Ying Zijin suffered in the countryside and couldn't even afford a nice piece of clothing.
And Ying Yuexuan grew up being loved by everyone, having no worries about food and clothing, and being able to develop her own interests.
Comparing the two, the impact is stronger.
Ying Tianlu took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the emotions that were surging like raging waves in his heart.
Then turn the steering wheel and step on the accelerator.
——
Forty minutes later.
The old house of the Zhong family.
Ying Tianlu got off the car and happened to meet someone coming out of the old house.
He looked at it and was a little surprised: "Uncle Haiyan?"
"Tianlu." Zhong Haiyan was also quite surprised, "You're back too?"
"Yes, I just came back not long ago." Ying Tianlu nodded, "What are you doing?"
Zhong Haiyan has been working in another place and only returns to the Zhong family during the Chinese New Year.
"Nothing." Zhong Haiyan shook the marriage certificate in his hand and said, "Let's go through the divorce procedures."
"Divorce?" Ying Tianlu was startled. "You want to divorce your aunt?"
"She's not your aunt anymore." Zhong Haiyan's expression turned a lot colder when he mentioned Mrs. Zhong. "Things are a little complicated. I'll talk to you when the time comes."
Ying Tianlu also had something urgent to do, so he didn't ask any more questions.
He entered the old house and immediately went to the study to find Mr. Zhong.
"Grandpa." Ying Tianlu got straight to the point, "Did you know a long time ago that Zijin is my sister?"
Mr. Zhong was reading some documents. When he heard this, he looked up and said calmly, "You know?"
Ying Tianlu held his head and laughed angrily: "I overheard it by accident, Grandpa, why didn't you tell me?"
"What's the point of telling you?" Old Master Zhong said indifferently, "Zi Jin has already left the Ying family. It doesn't matter whether she is your sister or not."
"It's very important." Ying Tianlu put his hands on the table. "She is my sister. How can she be treated as an adopted daughter? Her identity must be announced to the outside world."
Identity is very important in the wealthy circle.
Not to mention adopted daughters, even illegitimate daughters cannot be included in the family tree.
He really didn't know why, Ying Zijin was obviously the real eldest daughter of the Ying family, but Zhong Manhua and Ying Zhenting seemed to have ignored her and didn't even mention her.
"Zijin said she didn't need it." Old Master Zhong sighed and shook his head. "I didn't think about telling you because I didn't know what your attitude was. What if you were the same as them? It would be better not to tell you."
Ying Tianlu was silent for a moment: "Grandpa, what is your attitude towards Xiao...Xuan?"
Whether it is the full name Ying Yuexuan, the nickname Kankan, or even the birthday on Ying Yuexuan’s ID card, they are actually Ying Zijin’s.
This is really a cuckoo taking over the magpie's nest.
"We won't get close, nor will we stay away." Mr. Zhong had mixed feelings. "After all, I watched her grow up, and she didn't do anything out of the ordinary."
Ying Tianlu exhaled slowly: "But why didn't she tell me when she knew she wasn't my biological daughter?"
"She knows?" Mr. Zhong's expression changed when he heard this. "She actually knows?"
"Yes, she knows." Ying Tianlu said calmly, "I thought about it and it should be when Zijin came back that she knew, so she went to Ozhou."
Mr. Zhong also fell silent.
Ying Yuexuan knew about it a year in advance, but did not tell him or Ying Tianlu.
And he never really left the Ying family.
She enjoyed other people's lives for 17 years, with fine clothes and delicious food.
If Ying Yuexuan insisted on leaving, Zhong Manhua and Ying Zhenting would not be able to stop her.
Leaving doesn't mean there is no more family affection.
Mr. Zhong's mood became even more complicated.
"It's just human nature. People are afraid of losing what they gain." Ying Tianlu thought for a long time and sighed, "Grandpa and I have the same attitude. As long as she doesn't do anything, I will treat her like an ordinary friend."
"But what belongs to Zijin is hers, and cannot be taken away by anyone else."
"Grandpa, let's find a time to hold a banquet and announce her identity to the public."
——
In the Pacific Ocean.
Ying Zijin had not yet left the island. On the way, he called Fu Yunshen to report that he was safe.
As I was walking, the cell phone rang again.
Ying Zijin took a look at the number.
It was still Mr. Zhong’s number, but she knew that the person calling should be Ying Tianlu.
She pressed the reject button.
Although this island cannot be found on the map, it is also abroad.
She doesn't like wasting international roaming money to answer calls from unimportant people.
She has never had any contact with Ying Tianlu, nor does she want to have any contact with him.
In addition to the two large areas of the central area and the bounty area, there is another one left on the island, the hunter area.
Behind him, the smile in Diwu Yue's eyes faded, and her voice became more serious. She pointed upwards and said, "Little sister, look."
