Ever since the Weibo incident that day, Zhong Manhua had been feeling guilty.
She hadn't investigated the truth and concluded that Ying Zijin had seduced Jiang Moyuan. That was her fault.
But as an elder, she had no reason to apologize to a younger generation.
Thus, Zhong Manhua thought of making up for it in other ways. She even planned to reject an order from the company and accompany Ying Zijin to buy new clothes.
But Ying Zijin had disappeared for four days straight, and she didn't even say a word, leaving her alone there.
Which rich young lady would throw a tantrum at her parents?
Zhong Manhua was furious.
The other lady on the sofa also glanced over. She looked away after a brief glance, as if she wasn't interested at all.
Zhong Manhua naturally noticed. She clenched her fists and said coldly, "Go out and wait."
"I've always been puzzled." Ying Zijin nodded slightly and said indifferently, "Why can you be a mother?"
"…"
There was a moment of silence in the living room. The lady couldn't help but take another look at the girl.
When he saw the face, he was stunned for a moment.
But that was it. She was more scrutinizing.
Zhong Manhua didn't expect to hear such a sentence. Her eyes were red with anger. "Say that again?!"
The girl ignored her. There was a cold expression between her eyebrows that said, "You're lucky I didn't hit you." She carried the books upstairs.
"You …" Zhong Manhua held her breath. She couldn't go up or down.
She clutched her chest. Her chest felt uncomfortable.
Again, she embarrassed her in front of outsiders. She was indeed here to jinx her.
She really couldn't do anything about it!
Zhong Manhua couldn't lose her composure. She quickly regained her composure and forced a smile. "Mrs. Mu, I'm sorry."
"Is this the one your Family Ying adopted a year ago?" Mrs. Mu frowned. "Manhua, what are you thinking? Are you deliberately making things difficult for your biological daughter?"
Moreover, she had adopted someone who looked like her.
Even though her face was incomparable to the few socialites in the capital.
But no matter how good it was, it was still a fake.
Zhong Manhua didn't explain. "When I'm middle-aged, I always want to do some good deeds."
At this moment, she was glad that outsiders did not know that Ying Zijin was her biological daughter.
"Charity depends on the person. Some people are not worthy of your charity." Mrs. Mu blew on her tea. "Besides, you're indulging her too much. How dare she talk to you like that?"
In the rich and powerful families, illegitimate children were no longer presentable, but at least they were related by blood. An adopted daughter?
Tsk.
Mrs. Mu shook her head and said, "If you ask me, you can't spoil a child who isn't your biological child. If you spoil her and she causes you trouble one day, how are you going to clean up the mess?"
"Ignore her." Zhong Manhua smiled. "Don't worry, I've already contacted the Zhong Family. When the time comes, Chen Zhou can live there. There won't be any problems."
The Zhong Family was also one of the four rich and powerful families in Hu City. Naturally, they had a solid foundation.
"I'm relieved when you're in charge." Mrs. Mu didn't mention it again. "Manhua, actually, I didn't plan to come in person this time. But for some reason, my father said that he would stay in Hu City for a few more days."
"Everyone in the family is anxious. I followed him here to pick him up and also to visit you."
Zhong Manhua was surprised. "Elder Mu is in Hu City?"
Mu Heqing was a name that everyone in Hua City knew, let alone in the capital.
Family Mu was a family of generals. When Mu Heqing was young, he also went to the real battlefield.
Even after decades of retirement, his prestige didn't diminish at all.
"My father has been in the military all his life. He's used to fighting and killing. He can't rest when he's old." Mrs. Mu sighed. "He heard that a rare antique had appeared in Hu City, so he hurried over."
Zhong Manhua nodded. "No wonder. I heard that Elder Mu went down the mountain to Continent O for a Yuan's Blue and White Flower Ghost Valley."
"Isn't that so?" Mrs. Mu said, "It's just that my father's heart isn't good. He didn't bring a doctor with him this time. It would be terrible if he had a heart attack."
"I can understand. My mother's health is also poor. She has to be careful when she's outside."
"That's right. Fortunately, the old man met a godly doctor in Hucheng. Otherwise, he might have really died."
Mrs. Mu was very glad.
If Mu Heqing had died, Family Mu would have suffered a great loss.
Moreover, Family Mu's successor hadn't been decided yet. Mu Heqing was the one who had the final say.
"Miracle doctor?" Zhong Manhua was stunned. "Who is it?"
Could it be that there was a new person in Hu City?
Why hadn't she heard of him?
"My father didn't say." Mrs. Mu took a sip of tea. "But I guess we wouldn't know him even if he told us. I only heard from Mu Cheng that this miracle doctor's medical skills are better than the youngest doctor in Family Meng …"
She gestured and paused. "Better."
Zhong Manhua was shocked. "Is he that good?"
"I've never seen him. No one knows." Mrs. Mu put down her teacup and got up. "Manhua, I'll leave first. Call me if you need anything."
Zhong Manhua also stood up and saw her out.
After Mrs. Mu left, the butler came in from the yard. "Madam, I'm sorry. I couldn't stop Second Miss."
"It's not your fault." Zhong Manhua's expression turned cold again. "Don't worry about her in the future. She can do whatever she wants. Sooner or later, she will regret it."
"When she gets into trouble, Family Ying will have to clean up her mess."
If it wasn't for her biological daughter, she wouldn't have bothered to prepare a room.
After training her for so long, she still couldn't become a socialite.
The butler hesitated for a moment and didn't mention the word he saw on the box.
Maybe he saw it wrongly, or maybe it was just someone with the same name.
Second Miss had only been in Hu City for a year and had been living in Qingshui County. In such a small place, it was impossible for her to come into contact with people of higher status.
Zhong Manhua massaged her temples and calmed her anger. Then, she ordered calmly, "Send someone to find out about the miracle doctor that Mrs. Mu mentioned. It would be best if you could invite him to treat Old Madam's chronic headache."
She paused and reminded again, "Money is not a problem. You must be respectful."
The butler understood and left.

On the third floor.
Ying Zijin placed the box of children's books on the bookshelf and sat in front of the computer.
She skillfully turned on the computer and leaned against the chair to watch the web drama that she didn't finish that day.
This new type of retirement life was just right for her.
She didn't have to fight and kill, and she didn't have to worry about so much. She didn't intend to let those people know that she was back.
After all, she did have a lot of enemies.
She had a lot of free time to study the new technology of the 21st century. These new things were quite interesting.
After finishing a cup of milk tea, Ying Zijin went to get another cup.
"Beep!"
The computer suddenly made a sound. The screen froze at the scene where the female lead kicked the male lead into the pond and laughed wildly with her hands on her hips.
