Chapter 489: 445 Top families in the imperial capital come for Miss Ying [3 updates] Chapter 489: 445 Top families in the imperial capital come for Miss Ying [3 updates] Fu Yunshen raised his eyebrows.

He leaned back on the couch, with buttons of his shirt undone, revealing half of his collarbone, languidly sprawled out with a frivolous smile, “Yaoyao, you see, it really is our little piggy, with a temper just like yours.”

Ying Zijin: “…”

Emotionless, she lifted her head, and a murderous look surfaced in her phoenix eyes.

She discovered that some people naturally have a talent for infuriating others.

Nie Chao laughed, “Damn impressive, Seventh Young Master, you can even produce other species; that’s really something.”

Fu Yunshen’s peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, as his gaze swept over casually.

“I’ll shut up, I’ll shut up,” Nie Chao immediately scuttled into the kitchen with his cherries. “I won’t be a third wheel.”

The two old masters also headed to the dining room, leaving the living room to the young folks.

Only then did Ying Zijin throw the cushion in her hand at Fu Yunshen.

“Girlfriend, I admit my mistake,” Fu Yunshen stopped teasing her, his peach blossom eyes curving up as he smoothly played along, “Look, this is how much I like you.”

With that, he raised both hands to make a heart shape for her.

After a slight silence, Ying Zijin started to speak after a while, “I have to admit.”

“Hmm?” Fu Yunshen stretched his long arm out, encircled the girl within his arms, and asked, “Admit what?”

Being a human cushion was more comfortable; Ying Zijin leaned against him and glanced at him, “Admit that you are indeed good at dating.”

She had never been involved in such matters, but she had read quite a few books.

Especially her female secretary, who could flip through a pile of romance novels for her.

“It’s different.” Fu Yunshen lowered his head, pinching her face, “It depends who it’s with. With you, I have to be skilled.”

Now that he had a girlfriend, he could be even more unrestrained.

Ying Zijin yawned, feeling a bit sleepy.

“Yaoyao, tomorrow at the Imperial Capital Grand Hotel, I’ll hold a celebration banquet for your academic promotion,” said Fu Yunshen, “Your evening dress will be delivered tomorrow morning.”

Upon hearing this, Ying Zijin lifted her eyes, “I don’t want to go.”

“Nie Family, Mu Family, and the Di Wu Family are hosting it for you,” Fu Yunshen paused before adding, “And there will be delicious desserts.”

Ying Zijin pondered for a moment and then nodded her head.

Then she would go.

“No way?” Fu Yunshen raised his eyebrows, “Which is more important to you, me or the desserts?”

Ying Zijin didn’t pause this time, “You are more important.”

She could see his insecurity.

After all, she had studied psychology for a while.

“Kid, you’re actually better at this than I am,” Fu Yunshen’s eyelashes fluttered, “You know how to make me happy.”

Ying Zijin leaned on his shoulder and closed her eyes, “I have always been good at learning.”

“I’ve also figured out the matter with your uncle,” Fu Yunshen stroked her hair, “He was a researcher who had signed a confidentiality agreement, originally named Ji Fengmian.”

“Over twenty years ago, he was in the core area during the experimental accident on the island, and was the one executing all the core operations, so the entire Ji Family thought he was dead.”

The poisonous fog of DEATH alchemical medicine, if inhaled too much, would eventually even deform the bones.

By the time the rescue team in radiation suits entered, only skeletons remained in the core area.

Even the DNA was completely destroyed, making it impossible to differentiate who was who.

So, in the end, when reporting the death list, they reported all the researchers in the core area.

Naturally, Wen Fengmian was among them.

Later on, the Ji Family collected some residues of the DEATH poisonous fog and discovered that its toxicity was astonishingly high, so they believed that Wen Fengmian died in that experimental accident.

To this day, no one knows why the DEATH poisonous fog appeared on that island.

But after the explosion at the University Town in O Continent, Fu Yunshen knew that it was done by someone within the Black Skeleton Forces.

Ying Zijin’s eyes narrowed slightly, “The Ji Family?”

“The Ji Family, a family engaged in scientific research,” said Fu Yunshen indifferently, “There are quite a few national-level researchers in this family, and many secret experiments are conducted by them.”

He paused, then added, “They are also a branch of the Ancient Martial World’s Ji Family.”

The Ji Family from the Imperial Capital was a group that branched out from the Ancient Martial World’s Ji Family.

This group didn’t have the Ancient Martial Talent, but they were highly intelligent and made significant contributions in the field of scientific research.

So even though they left the Ancient Martial World, the Main House of the Ancient Martial World still took care of them.

Ying Zijin’s gaze grew more intense, “No wonder.”

Wen Fengmian inhaled the most poisonous fog and was exposed to the strongest radiation.

But he survived, probably because of his Ancient Martial Talent.

The group that left the Ancient Martial World back then had no talents, but that didn’t mean their descendants would not have any.

The talented ancient martial artists are born with Inner Strength without needing to cultivate; they are much stronger than ordinary martial artists.

Because condensing Inner Strength is the first threshold of ancient martial arts.

Wen Fengmian’s near-death experience was saved by his Ancient Martial Talent.

Consequently, his Ancient Martial Talent disappeared from then on.

What is gained is always at a cost; this adage applies not only to divination but is also an immutable law of the world.

Perhaps even the person releasing the DEATH poison mist hadn’t expected him to survive.

Wen Fengmian concealed his identity and went to Qingshui County in order not to be found and cause trouble for others.

“However, I couldn’t find any information on where his wife went,” Fu Yunshen’s eyes slightly narrowed, “I will investigate both abroad and within the Ancient Martial World.”

After all, technology and transportation were not well developed at that time, particularly in the key poverty alleviation area of Qingshui County.

Moreover, over these twenty years, most of the people who lived in Qingshui County had left, leaving only a handful of elderly residents.

The only useful information obtained was that Wen Fengmian’s ex-wife was very beautiful.

Beyond that, there was nothing else.

“There’s no need,” Ying Zijin spoke indifferently, “I don’t care whether she appears or not, but she must not hurt dad and Xiao Lan again.”

Wen Tinglan was at Norton University, and she was very confident about that.

Even if that woman wanted to find her, she’d never be able to do so in this lifetime.

However, the moment Wen Fengmian appears in the Imperial Capital, if that woman is also there, she will certainly catch her attention.

Regardless, she had to protect her family at all costs.

Meanwhile,

Ying Yuexuan ultimately didn’t manage to return to the Ying Family and ended up staying with Jing Hongzhen in a very remote and secluded small motel.

Although the motel was neither dirty nor messy, it was very basic with just a bed and a wardrobe.

Ying Yuexuan, who was used to wealth and luxury, had never lived in such a place before.

She pursed her lips and resigned herself to staying there.

Yet, she still couldn’t comprehend why Zhong Manhua’s attitude towards her had changed so drastically.

Back when that group of people came to take her away, Zhong Manhua even sold Ying Zijin to protect her.

How could just one set of college entrance exam results alter everything so completely?

“I’ve been saying it all along, your mom is not truly sincere towards you,” Jing Hongzhen looked at her pityingly, “The prerequisite for her to give her heart is for you to be outstanding.”

“So even if Ying Zijin is better than you, as long as you don’t fall below the threshold of excellence in her heart, she will still favor you. After all, she has raised you for over a decade and you are more obedient than Ying Zijin.”

Ying Yuexuan found it hard to accept: “Is that so?”

“Of course,” Jing Hongzhen replied indifferently, “Your mother has an obsessive personality; she wants control over you, right? She sees you as her carefully crafted masterpiece, and now that the masterpiece has been destroyed, it’s time to discard it, isn’t it?”

Ying Yuexuan’s breathing quickened, and her heart trembled.

“Such a face-conscious person only loves herself,” Jing Hongzhen sighed with a smile, “In the end, it’s your own mother that has to help you.”

Hearing this, Ying Yuexuan’s fingers tightened: “What have you done this time?”

She had only just discovered that Jing Hongzhen had a hand in the car accident that befell Ying Tianlv in April.

“Just wait a few more days and you’ll find out,” Jing Hongzhen repeated her usual phrase, “But I’ll remind you, now that you’ve lost your status, just behave and don’t try anything.”

“We don’t want anything else; we just want the Ying Family. Stop thinking about setting up traps for Ying Zijin, she’s no longer in the same world as you.”

Ying Yuexuan found it even harder to breathe, but she had to admit that this was the truth.

She tried hard to regulate her breathing: “Fine, I’ll wait.”

She wanted revenge.

She was determined to get revenge on Zhong Manhua.

The next day, evening.

Imperial Capital Grand Hotel.

These past few days, many families in the Imperial Capital have been throwing celebrations for university admissions.

However, only a few top noble families of the Imperial Capital could afford to book the entire Imperial Capital Grand Hotel.

Mong Ru and Father Yuan arrived quite early, and Yuan Jiacheng was also present.

An admissions celebration is not like the previous New Year’s gala that required an invitation to enter.

Guests who arrived were allowed to enter.

This was because Elder Nie, in a grand gesture, insisted on making Ying Zijin’s admissions celebration a lavish affair.

As for the annulment of the engagement, Yuan Jiacheng was indifferent.

He knew as the eldest son of the Yuan family he was bound to enter into a marriage alliance; the identity of his wife was inconsequential, what mattered were connections and capabilities.

The only consolation for Mong Ru was that Ying Zijin didn’t yet know the Nie Family’s people.

Father Yuan couldn’t help but exclaim, “The Nie Family sure is making a grand gesture.”

“Indeed,” Mong Ru also smiled, “I wonder which young member of the Nie Family is so favored.”

Yuan Jiacheng spoke up from the side, “There are names listed above.”

Mong Ru looked up.

At the top was a silver screen, with red characters constantly floating across it.

At that moment, the complete message of congratulations was revealed.
