The teenager with broad shoulders and long legs stood at the entrance of the courtyard. He stopped for a few seconds, then suddenly turned around and ran away.
Wen Fengmian was stunned and shouted, "Yuyu, why are you running?"
But the youth had already run away without a trace.
"Cough, cough, cough …" Wen Fengmian was angry and couldn't help but cough again. "Look, why did he run away as soon as you came back?"
"You're not in good health. Go in first." Ying Zijin patted his back. "I'll go and take a look."
Yuyu was Wen Fengmian's biological son. His name was Wen Tinglan, but because he was sick when he was young, he got such a nickname.
They were not biological siblings, but the affection between them was deeper than biological siblings.
"Yaoyao …" Wen Fengmian wanted to say something but hesitated. After a while, he sighed. "Okay."
He smiled again and looked elegant. "I'll go and cook for you. You can eat when you come back."
Ying Zijin nodded. "You can only cook glutinous rice balls."
Don't even think about touching cooking oil.
The age of the herbs here was too young. She needed to take care of Wen Fengmian's body from all aspects.
Wen Fengmian coughed softly and was not very comfortable. "Dad knows. Go and find Yuyu."
It was as if he was driving her away.
"If I come back and find —" Ying Zijin casually glanced at the kitchen and said in a gentle tone, "You know what to do."
Wen Fengmian suddenly felt that his daughter seemed to have become fierce this time. "…"
He was half helpless and half amused. "Okay, dad will listen to you."
Ying Zijin nodded and left.
Looking at the girl's back, Wen Fengmian sighed softly. His mood was very complicated and his eyes were red again.
How could he not see that she had lost a lot of weight this time?
In the past, his family was poor, but he would not let his two children suffer in terms of food.
What happened after Yaoyao returned to Family Ying?
Didn't Mr. Family Ying say that he would bring her back to live a good life?
Wen Fengmian frowned and coughed again while pressing on his chest. He was very worried.
**
When Ying Zijin found Wen Tinglan, he was standing alone by the river, silently watching the fireworks in the distance. His eyes were dark and still.
The night was dark, and a cool breeze blew.
There was a thin layer of ice on the surface of the river, reflecting the full moon.
The youth was like the wind, his back tall and straight.
He was wearing a white shirt and black pants.
He was the type of man that girls in school would be attracted to.
Ying Zijin stepped forward, took out a lollipop from her pocket, and handed it to him: "peach flavor."
However, Wen Tinglan did not pick it up. He did not even move.
He was laughing, and his laughter was very, very cold. "I thought you would never come back in this lifetime. Why did you come back?"
He didn't get a reply.
After waiting for a full ten minutes, the youth turned his head, and his eyes were cold.
However, when he looked at her from such a close distance, his gaze suddenly changed.
The girl's body was obviously thinner than when they parted a year ago. With the help of the moonlight, he could see the needle holes on her arm.
They were densely packed, and there were so many that he couldn't count them.
They were not obvious at first, but because her skin was sickly pale, they were even more obvious.
It was a shocking sight.
Wen Tinglan's body stiffened. He stared at the needle holes in a daze. When he opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse. "Sister, are you … sick?"
She didn't come back for a year because she was sick?
Ying Zijin did not answer. She took out the lollipop again and raised her eyebrows. "You're not angry anymore?"
This brother of hers had a very serious personality disorder because of a certain incident, and he refused to communicate with the outside world.
It only improved after he was ten years old, but it also led to his cold and introverted personality.
In the beginning, Wen Fengmian could not even get close to him.
Her disappearance for a year had caused him quite a bit of harm.
"Watching the Sea and Listening to the Waves" soared with the wind.
Wen Tinglan, this name represented Wen Fengmian's high hopes.
"What's the matter?" Wen Tinglan still did not take the call. His eyes were dark. "Sister, Family Ying is not good for you? What did they do? "
"Nothing, I'm fine." Ying Zijin kicked a stone on the ground and smiled faintly. "Study hard, don't worry about other things."
Wen Tinglan had been a genius since he was young, but because of his weak body, he only started school at the age of thirteen. Even so, he skipped several grades.
He was one year younger than her and was already in his third year of high school. He would take the college entrance examination in June.
Hearing this, Wen Tinglan pursed his lips. His arm trembled as he took the lollipop.
He tore open the wrapper, put it in his mouth, and chewed.
It was very sweet, just like before, but he felt strangely stifled.
Even after such a long time, he would never forget the ugly faces of those people a year ago.
"What Wen Zijin? Zijin is our Family Ying's daughter. Naturally, her surname is Ying. Don't try to make connections. "
"If the Qing Zhi students know that she has a farmer father and a younger brother, what will they think of her?"
"This is a hundred thousand yuan. Forget that you have a daughter. She won't see you in the future. You will only be a burden to her. Do you understand?"
Then, his sister really did not come back for a year. She did not even call.
He waited and waited until she gave up.
He thought that she had forgotten about them after she went to Hucheng.
Now it seemed that Family Ying had done something, and she was not doing well.
Wen Tinglan pursed his lips again and said softly, "Sister, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have complained to you."
He knew that he was mentally ill and had a lot of anger, but he could not control it.
The youth lowered his head slightly and clenched his fingers.
He tried hard to change.
He really wanted to become a normal person.
"It's not your fault." Ying Zijin put her hands in her pockets. "Go back. Dad is waiting for you."
Once the knot in his heart was untied, Wen Tinglan's tense body relaxed. Just like ten years ago, he said casually, "I didn't go to class this afternoon. I took leave."
Ying Zijin nodded slightly. "Did you go to the market in the city to buy meat?"
"Yes." Wen Tinglan was silent and said lightly, "Dad's health is getting worse. I want to nourish him."
Usually, even if there was meat to eat, Wen Fengmian would not take a bite.
Ying Zijin thought for a while. "Have you thought about which university you want to go to?"
"Yes." At the mention of this, the youth's dark eyes lit up. It was brighter than the stars and the moon. "Sister, I want to go to Imperial Capital University."
Imperial Capital University was the number one university in Hua. Thousands of students wanted to go to it.
Ying Zijin was not surprised by this answer. With Wen Tinglan's ability, even if he did not have enough learning resources, it was easy for him to get in.
Wen Tinglan said, "However, the university I want to go to the most is Norton University. But without a recommendation letter from the principal, I can't go."
Ying Zijin was stunned. "What university?"
"Norton University." Wen Tinglan thought that she did not know, so he took out his phone and searched for the Wikipedia entry for her. "This is the number one university in the QS World. It has never changed."
Ying Zijin looked at the screen and fell silent.
She felt that there were many things wrong after she came back this time.
It was fine that the Laurent family opened banks all over the world. After all, stingy people could make money quickly.
