The housekeeper was even more fed up, and he spoke again: “Second Miss, you really can’t please Madam like this. I think you still…”
But he couldn’t finish his words.
With a click, his wrist was pinched by two slender fingers, preventing him from moving even an inch.
The next second, a strong force came, and the housekeeper fell to the ground unprepared.
Ying Zijin lowered her eyelashes and said calmly, “I told you to get out of the way.”
The housekeeper raised his head tremblingly, his eyes widened in disbelief.
“Chi.”
At this time, in the night, there was a sudden laugh, with a bit of cynicism, but if you listened carefully, it was wrapped in a thin layer of coldness.
“I wouldn’t have known it until I came back. Now the servants of the Ying family dare to order the master. Is this how Madam Ying disciplines her servants?”
The man had a tall and slender figure. He was also wearing a black shirt with the buttons scattered. His complexion looked colder and whiter than the snow, like carved jade and soft porcelain.
When he stood under the tree, he seemed like a scenery of its own. No matter the snowflakes and moonlight, it was hard to beat his graceful charm.
Ying Zijin retracted her feet, raised her head, and paused for a moment: “You haven’t left yet?”
“Fortunately, I haven’t left yet.” Fu Yunshen put one hand in his pocket and curved the corners of his lips, “I’m leaving now, don’t be bullied.”
The breeze picked up and blew open his clothes, revealing a small piece of collarbone, exuding a faint emerald agarwood fragrance.
Calm and gentle, fatal temptation.
Ying Zijin was silent for a moment: “I’m too lazy to care.”
She didn’t like talking. If she said one more word, she might as well just do it.
“Yes, I know.” Fu Yunshen patted her head deeply, “So I’ll take care of it, and you can just watch from the side.”
He turned his head, raised his chin, still smiling: “Who do you want to apologize to?”
The housekeeper was almost knocked unconscious, but now he didn’t dare to express his anger. His face turned red from holding back his anger, and his legs were trembling, and he knelt down.
Of course he would not fail to recognize this man who appeared here, “The seventh young master of the Fu family, Fu Yunshen”.
The dandiest young man in Shanghai, who didn’t seek advancement.
It was said that Fu Yunshen was too indulgent and offended the heir of a family in the imperial capital, so he was sent to Ozhou overnight by the Fu family.
Why did he come back suddenly?
And he was still protecting the second lady like this?
Was he crazy?
“I’m sorry, Second Miss.” The housekeeper couldn’t resist the pressure, raised his hand suddenly, slapped himself, and said shivering, “I shouldn’t be disrespectful to you, it’s all my fault.”
Fu Yunshen ignored him: “Let’s go, kid, I will send you in person this time.”
How dare the housekeeper stop him again: “Seventh Young Master, Second Young Lady, please come this way.”
While feeling aggrieved, he also breathed a sigh of relief, at least the madam would not blame him.
The door opened, cold air swept in, and a layer of frost fell on the luxurious carpet.
On the first floor of the old house, the living room was fully heated.
There was a noble lady sitting on the sofa. She was flipping through a book. Her posture was elegant and her every move showed the style of a noble family.
This was Mrs. Ying, Zhong Manhua, who was born in the Zhong family, one of the four wealthy families.
Zhong Manhua heard the footsteps, but did not raise her head, and said calmly: “Second Miss, have you given in?”
The old house was well soundproofed, and people inside would not hear the movement outside.
The housekeeper didn’t dare to express his anger, so he only dared to whisper: “Madam.”
“Huh?” Zhong Manhua frowned and raised his head, “Is she still not convinced…”
The next words stopped when she saw the man.
Zhong Manhua was stunned for a few seconds before reacting.
She put down the book in her hand, stood up to greet the man, and smiled as if she hadn’t seen the girl: “It turns out to be Seventh Young Master Fu. I just heard your father say yesterday that you came back from O Continent. Why did you come to the Ying family so late for something important?”
The Fu family was the head of the four wealthy families. Even if Fu Yunshen had left Shanghai for three years, as long as Mr. Fu was still here, the Ying family could not afford to offend him.
“Sending the child home.” Fu Yunshen said with a calm expression, “I’m not worried, I’m afraid she will be bullied.”
Zhong Manhua’s smile faltered, obviously she did not expect to get such an answer, and then her eyes fell on the girl, asked: “What’s going on?”
The butler hurriedly recounted what happened before in a concise manner.
After listening, Zhong Manhua frowned again, took a deep breath, and smiled again: “Seventh Young Master, this is a misunderstanding. It did not need you to make a trip. Zijin is also my daughter. How can I bear her suffering.”
“Is that so?” Fu Yunshen chuckled deeply and stood slouching, “That’s good. I’m relieved. If Mrs. Ying treats her adopted daughter like this, she can gain a good reputation for kindness if word spreads.”
Zhong Manhua’s expression became somewhat ugly.
These words were clearly mocking.
“This guy -” Fu Yunshen glanced at the butler lightly and chuckled, “He’s a little brave.”
The butler’s legs became even softer.
Zhong Manhua’s face was tense and she didn’t speak.
“But I’m an outsider, so I can’t teach Mrs. Ying’s servants a lesson.” Fu Yunshen ignored him, but turned his head and raised his cell phone towards the girl, with a smile in his voice, “Kid, I’ll save my cell phone number for you. Please contact me anytime.”
The door was closed again, and there was dead silence in the room.
The housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief and kept wiping his sweat.
“Where have you gone?” Zhong Manhua suppressed her anger, but after all, she could not change her face immediately after Fu Yunshen left. “Luwei said you left the hospital three hours ago. What were you doing?”
Running alone on a snowy day, when could she make her worry free?
She also found a person to come back to anger her, not knowing the etiquette.
Ying Zijin didn’t respond and she yawned.
In addition to being hungry, she was sleepy now.
She wanted to experience being a normal person suddenly.
Zhong Manhua said coldly: “What are you not speaking, are you so rude?”
Ying Zijin raised his eyes and said calmly: “Why do you need to take care of a living blood bank?”
Zhong Manhua could hardly believe her ears, her mind went blank for a moment, and her body suddenly jerked: “What did you say?”
The housekeeper also looked over in surprise, with a look of disbelief on his face.
The fact that the Ying family adopted a daughter as a living blood bank for Ying Luwei was not a secret among the four wealthy families, and the entire upper class knew about it.
But no one paid attention to this matter, because it was not important. They would occasionally talk about it after dinner to add a bit of fun, and the Ying family didn’t think there was anything wrong.
But when this ugly fact was exposed so bluntly, Zhong Manhua felt that all the fig leaves on her body were torn off, like thorns on her back, the blood in her body was cold, and her hands and feet were cold.
After all, Zhong Manhua came from a famous family. She quickly calmed down her emotions and her expression softened a bit, but she still had a commanding tone: “You are nothing like this. I have prepared hot water for you. Go take a shower first. I still have something to say to you later.”
The girl yawned again, ignored her and went upstairs.
Zhong Manhua’s face was livid, and she placed the tea cup heavily on the table with a “pop”.
The housekeeper lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
“Look at her attitude, and then listen to what she said?” Zhong Manhua was so angry that her heart and lungs hurt, and she felt even more aggrieved, “Does she think I want her blood to be drawn? The flesh that fell off my body, can I not feel bad?”
