Zhong Manhua’s face, almost instantly sank.

“She wants to enter the entertainment industry?”

Those six words were squeezed out from between clenched teeth.

“Huh?” Ying Luwei was taken aback, “Big sister, hasn’t Xiao Jin spoken to you about this?”

Zhong Manhua took a deep breath and said coldly, “She shouldn’t even think about it!”

Why would a socialite from a wealthy family go to the entertainment circle to perform?

It was bad enough that her studies weren’t good, and it was acceptable that she couldn’t play piano, but now she wanted to act?

What on earth was she trying to do with her days?

“Perhaps I misunderstood,” Ying Luwei pursed her lips lightly, “Big sister, please don’t be angry, I was just curious. Actually, with Xiao Jin’s qualities, she would be very popular in the entertainment industry.”

Hearing this, Zhong Manhua grew even angrier, “Luwei, not everyone can be like you. You’ve taught her for so long, yet isn’t she still unable to play even the most basic ‘Fur Elise’?!”

Ying Luwei was a renowned pianist in Hua Country, could Ying Zijin compare to her?

Ying Luwei felt very guilty, “I’m not really good at teaching, it’s all my fault for holding Xiao Jin back.”

“It’s her own fault for not studying properly!” Zhong Manhua was fuming, “If you teach a three-year-old child, hand in hand, they would have learned by now!”

“Big sister, this…” Ying Luwei paused, helplessly, “Is Xiao Jin around? I brought her some things.”

Zhong Manhua was still very angry, “She’s not here. You can just go up and leave the things in her room.”

Ying Luwei nodded and had walked a few steps when she stopped, “Big sister, did big brother mention when he will return?”

“Your big brother and your nephew are still in the capital,” Zhong Manhua said. “I heard that a major clan from O continent has come over, and they are looking to build a relationship. They should return in a few days.”

“Big brother is really impressive,” Ying Luwei smiled again, “That’s also thanks to big sister’s good teachings, Tianlv has inherited his father’s business acumen.”

The Ying Family was a century-old noble family, but it was actually under Old Master Ying that it had greatly flourished. It was a pity that Old Master Ying passed away a few years ago.

Otherwise, the Ying Family might have surpassed the Fu Family.

Speaking of Ying Tianlv, Zhong Manhua’s face finally showed a smile, “Tianlv was smart since he was a child, he’s given me peace of mind.”

Ying Luwei sighed, “If Xiao Jin hadn’t gotten lost, she definitely wouldn’t be inferior to Tianlv.”

Zhong Manhua’s smile disappeared in an instant.

Besides herself and Ying Zhenting, only Ying Luwei knew the truth of the matter in the Ying Family.

They all tacitly kept it a secret from Old Madam Ying and Ying Tianlv, not to mention the other major noble families.

They raised the child together irrespective of the mistake, and there was nothing to it.

But as it turned out, the child raised by one’s own side was indeed closer.

Zhong Manhua felt unbearably irritable, sometimes wondering if Ying Zijin was really her biological child, as she seemed to have inherited none of her good qualities?

Only then did Ying Luwei go upstairs.

She made her way to Ying Zijin’s room, familiar with the layout, and used the prepared key to open the door.

The room’s furnishings were very simple, with a bed, wardrobe, computer desk, and bookshelf, all in the color of natural wood, quite spartan.

Ying Luwei glanced around the room carelessly, and when she saw the half-bookshelf of children’s books, she couldn’t help but laugh, her eyes filled with a touch of disdain.

She was overthinking it.

Ying Luwei tucked her hair behind her ear and, without another glance, pushed the door open and left.

After leaving the room, she felt her skin itch somewhat and absentmindedly scratched it, only to feel a sting of pain.

Ying Luwei was startled and quickly covered her face.

Her other hand trembled as she took out her cell phone, not even having the time to think, “Hello? Hurry, schedule an appointment with First Hospital… ”

Meanwhile.

In the downtown area, the lights were bright, the crowds surged like tides, and the sound of honking was incessant.

In the car.

Fu Yunshen glanced at the seconds counting down on the traffic light and turned his head, noticing that the girl who had been dozing off had now sat up straight.

“Had a nightmare?”

“No.” Ying Zijin propped her elbow, her expression weary, “I just remembered something amusing.”

That day, besides buying medicinal herbs to treat Wen Fengmian’s illness, she also specially purchased some other things.

After returning, she conveniently tested out some new poisons and kept them in her room.

Naturally, highly toxic herbs weren’t available on the market.

So no matter how they were processed, their toxicity wouldn’t be too severe.

At most, one would break out in red rashes all over for a month, and if they sought medical treatment, it might get worse, perhaps ending up with a disfigured face.

No one had yet found an antidote to the poison she concocted.

“Hmm?” The red light turned green, and Fu Yunshen started the car, “What amusing thing? Share it with your brother to make me happy too?”

The girl had just woken up; her phoenix eyes were brimming with moisture, her voice low and cold, “I taught someone a lesson, felt a bit better.”

The man’s long fingers lightly tapped the steering wheel, his gaze deep.

He had investigated the Ying Family.

Even if the Ying Family intended to conceal the events from sixteen years ago, diligent investigation could still reveal the truth.

The Four major noble families valued interests above all; they could easily discard even their own offspring.

Just like before.

Fu Yunshen brought out a piece of chocolate and handed it over.

Ying Zijin accepted it and split it in two.

Fu Yunshen lowered his eyes and chuckled lightly.

The kid was quite considerate.

He looked thoughtfully at the girl, his lips curved, and his voice rose at the end, “Yaoyao?”

Ying Zijin didn’t hear clearly and took off her headphones, “What?”

“Yaoyao.” Fu Yunshen repeated, his peach blossom eyes intensely captivating, as if to lure someone in, “Isn’t that your nickname?”

Ying Zijin fell silent for a moment, then softly acknowledged, “Mhm.”

The nickname Yaoyao wasn’t bestowed by the Ying Family, but by Wen Fengmian instead.

Wen Fengmian explained there were two meanings to Yaoyao.

One was “supple and graceful in appearance,” for he hoped she could live a life of ease and comfort.

The other was linked to “dying young.”

In Qingshui County, there was a custom where giving a ‘cheap’ name would supposedly make it easier to raise a child.

“Alright then.” Fu Yunshen’s demeanor was casual, “From now on I’ll call you Yaoyao, is that okay?”

Ying Zijin yawned, her tone lazy, “I don’t mind.”

Just in the years she spent in O region alone, she had many names.

To her, a name was merely a label.

Unless it had a special meaning.

The two eventually arrived at a hotpot skewer restaurant next to the pedestrian street; it was the busiest time of the evening and they had to queue up.

Ying Zijin smelled the rich enticing spicy aroma and felt quite regretful that she hadn’t spent more time in Hua Country earlier; she had missed out on so much delicious food.

“I’ll go park the car.” Fu Yunshen raised a hand, intending to stroke her head but then let it fall back down, and said, “You go take a number, and don’t wander off.”

The hotpot skewer place was tucked away in an alley, quite a distance from the parking area.

Ying Zijin nodded her head.

After she got the number, she leaned against the wall with one hand in her pocket.

With her other hand, she took out her phone and opened Weibo.

After Ying Luwei linked her Weibo account that day, she had canceled it and registered a new one.

Ying Zijin glanced over the trending topics list, didn’t find anything interesting, and was about to exit and play some games instead.

But just then, a Weibo post popped up in the trending column, coming from a marketing account.
