Sooner or later, she would regret it one day. Ever since the Weibo incident that day, Zhong Manhua felt guilty in her heart.
Without checking the facts, she concluded that Ying Zijin had seduced Jiang Moyuan, which was her fault.
But as an elder, she had no reason to apologize to the younger generation.
So Zhong Manhua thought of making up for it in other aspects. She even planned to push an order from the company to accompany Ying Zijin to buy new clothes.
But Ying Zijin disappeared for four days without even saying hello, leaving her alone.
Which rich girl would scorn her parents?
Zhong Manhua was extremely angry.
The other lady on the sofa also looked over, glanced lightly, and then withdrew her gaze, showing no interest at all.
Zhong Manhua naturally noticed it, clenched her fingers and said coldly: “You go out and wait.”
“I’ve always had a doubt.” Ying Zijin nodded slightly and said lightly, “Why can you be a mother?”
“…”
There was a moment of silence in the living room, and the lady couldn’t help but look at the girl one more time.
At this glance, she was stunned for a moment because of that face.
But that’s the limit, no more scrutiny was needed.
Zhong Manhua didn’t expect to hear such a sentence, and her eyes turned red with anger: “You say that again!”
The girl ignored her, with a cold expression on her face that said, “I’m being polite if I don’t hit you.”
She went upstairs to write a book.
“You…” Zhong Manhua choked for breath, unable to get up or down.
She clutched her heart, her chest feeling uncomfortable.
It was like this again, and she was humiliating her like this in front of outsiders. Sure enough, she was specifically here to defeat her.
She really couldn’t control it anymore!
But the distinguished guest was still there, so Zhong Manhua couldn’t lose her grace. She quickly regained her composure and smiled reluctantly: “It made Mrs. Mu laugh.”
“Is this the one your Ying family adopted a year ago?” Mrs. Mu frowned, “Manhua, what do you think, specifically wanting to cause trouble for your own daughter?”
And you also adopted a girl who looks like her.
Although that face couldn’t be compared to that of several ladies in the imperial capital.
But no matter how good it was, it was still a fake.
Zhong Manhua did not explain: “When people reach middle age, they always want to do some good deeds.”
At this moment, she was glad that no one outside knew that Ying Zijin was her biological daughter.
“Good deeds must be divided. Some people are not worthy of your kindness and relief.” Mrs. Mu blew the tea, “Besides, you are too indulgent to her. How dare she talk to you like this?”
In a wealthy family, illegitimate children had already been born. It was very unpopular, but at least there was a blood relationship, an adopted daughter?
Tsk.
Mrs. Mu shook her head and said again: “If you ask me, if she is not your biological child, you can’t get used to it. If you get used to it, one day you will get into a big trap. How will it end?”
“Ignore her.” Zhong Manhua smiled, “Don’t worry, I have already contacted the Zhong family. When Shen Zhou comes, she will be able to live there without any problems.”
The Zhong family was also one of the four wealthy families in Shanghai, so they naturally had a good foundation.
“Of course I can rest assured that you are doing things.” Mrs. Mu really didn’t mention it again, “Manhua, actually I didn’t plan to come in person this time, but our old man didn’t know why, but he said he would stay in Shanghai for a few more days.”
“No, everyone in the family is in a hurry. I’m here to pick up the old man and come to see you.”
Zhong Manhua was surprised: “Mr. Mu actually came to Shanghai?”
Don’t mention the name Mu Heqing. If placed in the imperial capital of Shanghai, no one would know about it even in the entire country of China.
The Mu family was the queen of the generals, and Mu Heqing also went on a real battlefield when he was young.
Even after decades of retirement, his prestige had not diminished at all.
“The old man has been a soldier all his life. He is used to fighting and killing. He can’t rest even when he is old.” Mrs. Mu sighed, “Isn’t it because he heard that a rare antique appeared in Shanghai and rushed here in a hurry.”
Zhong Manhua nodded: “No wonder, I heard a while ago that Mr. Mu went down the mountain to Ozhou for a piece of Yuan blue and white ghost valley.”
“Is that possible?” Mrs. Mu said, “It’s just that the old man has a bad heart, I didn’t bring a doctor with me this time, it would be terrible if he got sick.”
“It’s understandable, our old lady is also in poor health, so she has to be careful when going out.”
“Yes, fortunately, the old man met a miracle doctor in Shanghai, otherwise he might really have died.”
Mrs. Mu was overjoyed.
If Mu Heqing died, the Mu family would suffer great losses.
Moreover, the heir to the Mu family had not yet been decided, and Mu Heqing was the one with the deciding power.
“Miracle doctor?” Zhong Manhua was stunned, “I wonder who it is?”
Could it be that there was some new person in Shanghai?
Why hadn’t she heard of it?
“The old man didn’t say anything.” Mrs. Mu took a sip of tea, “But I guess we don’t know each other. I just heard from Mu Cheng that this miracle doctor’s medical skills are better than the youngest of the Meng family…”
She gestured and paused: “It needs to be higher.”
Zhong Manhua was surprised: “How can he be so awesome?”
“I’ve never seen her before, and no one knows how she looks.” Mrs. Mu put down her tea cup and stood up, “Manhua, I’ll leave first, if anything the matter, call us if necessary.”
Zhong Manhua also stood up and sent her out.
After Mrs. Mu left, the housekeeper came in from the yard: “Madam, I’m sorry, I couldn’t stop the second lady.”
“It’s not your fault.” Zhong Manhua’s expression turned cold again, “Don’t worry about her in the future, she loves to do whatever she wants, sooner or later she will regret it.”
“When the time comes, the Ying family will have to clean up the mess for her.”
If it hadn’t been for her being her biological daughter, she wouldn’t have bothered to prepare the room.
After training for so long, she still hadn’t been able to train her to become a famous lady.
The butler hesitated and did not mention the word he had seen on the box earlier.
Maybe he saw it wrong, or maybe it was just the same name.
Think about it, the second lady had only been in Shanghai for a year, and she had been living in Qingshui County before. In such a small place, it was impossible to be exposed to a higher level.
Zhong Manhua massaged her temple to calm down her anger, and then gave a calm order: “Send someone to find out about the miracle doctor that Mrs. Mu said. It would be best to invite him to treat the old lady’s old headache.”
After a pause, she continued: “Money is not an issue, you must respect her.”
The butler understood and retreated.
Third floor.
After placing the box of children’s books on the bookshelf, Ying Zijin sat in front of the computer.
She skilfully turned on the console, leaned back in her chair, and started watching the web drama she hadn’t finished that day.
This new type of retirement life was just right for her.
There was no need to fight and kill, and there were not so many worries. She had no intention of letting those people know that she was back.
After all, she did have many enemies.
She had a lot of free time to study the new technologies of the 21st century, and these new things were quite interesting.
After finishing a cup of milk tea, Ying Zijin went to get another cup.
“Beep!”
