The girl was wearing a baseball cap, a white short-sleeved shirt, and dark blue jeans.
Her legs were long and straight, and her skin was as white as jade, almost transparent.
It was the most ordinary outfit on the street, but she still had the attractiveness that could attract people's attention at a glance.
The girl wasn't wearing sunglasses or a mask, and she was walking toward him, so Mu Chen Zhou could naturally see her clearly.
It was a face that was breathtaking to the extreme.
Mu Chen Zhou frowned.
Why did Ying Zijin come to the capital as soon as he returned?
Family Ying didn't have any relatives in the capital, so what was Ying Zijin doing here?
Mrs. Mu noticed the change in his expression, so she turned her head and followed his gaze, "What's wrong?"
She also saw the girl, but Mrs. Mu had long forgotten who Ying Zijin was.
She never remembered unimportant people.
"I saw someone I know." Mu Chen Zhou said, "Mom, I'll go and say hello."
After that, he walked forward, and his attitude was very polite, polite, and distant, "Miss Ying, we meet again. What brings you to the capital?"
However, the girl didn't answer.
She didn't even look at him, as if she didn't know him at all.
She also acted as if she didn't hear his words, and just walked past him like that.
Mu Chen Zhou's hand froze in the air, and he didn't know whether to withdraw or raise it, and his expression was awkward for a moment.
"Who is this?" Mrs. Mu's face darkened, "Why did she ignore you when you said hello to her?"
Even the daughters of the Nie Family and the Xiu Family didn't give Mu Chen Zhou such an attitude.
"Ying Zijin." Mu Chen Zhou sighed and felt a little helpless, "She should still be angry about the auction that day."
He was really reminding her.
If he didn't speak up in advance, Family Meng's methods would be more brutal.
How would Ying Zijin deal with it?
Unfortunately, she thought that with Fu Yunshen by her side, she would have enough confidence.
Mrs. Mu thought for a few seconds before she realized, "So it's her."
She paused for a moment, her expression indifferent. "There are many good-looking people. The most important thing for you now is to pass the examination. When you become the true heir of Family Mu, even some foreign families will send you invitations for marriage. There's no need to waste your attention on an adopted daughter."
However, Ying Zijin's face was indeed attractive to men.
Not to mention men, even women would be moved.
Mrs. Mu had to remind Mu Chen Zhou, for fear that he would fall into the trap.
As for why Ying Zijin came to the capital, it had nothing to do with them.
"She's not going to be in charge of your assessment," Mrs. Mu added, "We still have to go to Family Meng later."

The Fu family.
After dinner, Old Master Fu left the house.
After he recovered, he often went out for a walk.
However, he still liked to play chess with Old Mr. Zhong.
Even though Old Mr. Zhong liked to leave him outside the door, he still enjoyed it.
There were not many people left in their generation.
When Old Master Ying and Old Master Jiang were still alive, they could still get together to play mahjong.
But now, they could only play chess.
After Zhong Zhiwan went abroad, the Zhong family was much emptier, so Master Fu stayed here for a few days.
Old Mr. Zhong had already set up the chessboard. When he saw him, he waved his hand. "Old Mr. Fu, come and sit down. Let's see how I destroy you."
Master Fu clasped his hands behind his back and sat down slowly. "It's not certain who will kill who."
The two of them were playing chess.
Master Fu chose the black chess piece. After he picked up the first piece, he didn't move for a long time.
After a while, he said, "Old Mr. Zhong, it's been a few months. I really can't believe that I can play chess with you here in such a healthy state."
In fact, Master Fu had always known that he was not sick, but poisoned.
This kind of poison would not kill him immediately, but it would erode his body every day and shorten his lifespan.
Even he himself didn't expect that he could survive for twenty years.
Master Fu was silent for a moment and then smiled. "I don't know how long I can live."
"Get lost." Old Mr. Zhong didn't like to hear that. "It's late. Don't say such discouraging words. You're 85 years old. You can live for at least twenty years."
"I'm serious." Master Fu said while playing chess. "You're healthy. You'll definitely live longer than me. When I'm gone, help me take care of Yunshen."
"I don't care about your brat." Old Mr. Zhong snorted. When he was about to say something, his phone rang.
He was happy when he saw it.
"Hey, Zijin is video-calling me. Old Mr. Fu, come and see."
As soon as he heard the name, Master Fu's ears pricked up.
He pretended to be invited and sat down next to Old Mr. Zhong.
The girl's voice was cold. "Grandpa."
She paused. "Grandpa Fu is here too?"
Master Fu sat up straight. "Yes, Zijin. I'm here to play chess with your grandpa."
"Go away. I just want you to watch." Old Mr. Zhong took the phone away unhappily. "Zijin, how are things in the capital?"
He asked a lot of questions, and Ying Zijin answered them all.
"My granddaughter is awesome, right?" Old Mr. Zhong showed off while chatting. "She went to participate in an international competition called ISC. There are only six places in the whole of Hua."
Master Fu nodded. "Yes, Old Mr. Zhong, your granddaughter is awesome."
He was thinking, "Of course, my granddaughter-in-law is awesome."
Of course, Master Fu didn't say this out loud.
Old Mr. Zhong didn't know what Master Fu was thinking. He was very happy to be praised. "I'm not smart, but my granddaughter is. Old Mr. Zhong, are you jealous?"
Master Fu nodded again. "Yes, I am."
He was still thinking, "I'm not jealous at all. She'll be my granddaughter-in-law sooner or later."
"But your brat can't." Old Mr. Zhong was proud. "Look, he can't participate in the competition."
Master Fu nodded again. "Yes, yes."
He was still thinking, "So what? It's good as long as I can get my granddaughter-in-law."
Old Mr. Zhong was about to attack Master Fu when a deep voice came from the phone. "Grandpa Zhong, it's not gentlemanly to talk bad about others."
When he looked back at the screen, Old Mr. Zhong's heart almost stopped again. He clutched his chest. "Why are you here?!"
What did it mean to be haunted?
This was it!
Fu Yunshen said lazily, "Bodyguard."
Old Mr. Zhong was speechless.
He hung up decisively and put the phone on the table.
Master Fu grinned and tried hard to hold back his laughter.
Then, he used the excuse of going to the bathroom and took out his phone. He liked Fu Yunshen's WeChat Moments and left a comment.
[Well done, Xiao Qi!]

In the capital.
Ying Zijin raised her eyebrows and took back her phone. "I told you, the old man has a lot of resentment towards you."
"I can explain." Fu Yunshen moved the steering wheel. "I really didn't want to take his place."
Ying Zijin yawned. "You made me drink goji berry and red date tea this morning. Old man's behavior."
Fu Yunshen raised his eyebrows. "I was still a kid a few days ago, and now I'm an old man?"
"Mentally, you're a kid, but in life, you're an old man."
"…"
There was no way to refute this.
"This is the training camp." Fu Yunshen stopped the car. "I won't go in. Call me if you need anything."
After a pause, he asked, "What day did you make an appointment with the patient?"
"This weekend." Ying Zijin unbuckled her seatbelt. "We'll see how it goes."
She got out of the car and didn't bring a suitcase. She only carried a backpack.
Daily necessities and clothes could be bought on the spot.
Ying Zijin gave Fu Yunshen a bottle of medicine before she walked into the training camp.
This training camp didn't only have the six candidates who directly qualified for the international competition. There were six other outstanding students who were also invited.
Qing Zhi High School originally wanted to give the other training camp spot to Ying Yuexuan, but Ying Yuexuan rejected it. Therefore, the spot fell to the top student of the second year's elite class.
The twelve people would be divided into four groups.
Each group of three would be led by a professor, and there would be a series of competitions.
The training camp this time wasn't long. It was only a month.
Because the Imperial Capital University Affiliated High School and Qing Zhi High School were the strongest, Ying Zijin and two other students were assigned to the same group.
The other two students had seen Ying Zijin's results.
Although this was just training, it was also related to honor.
They didn't want to be in the same group with someone whose results were extremely unstable.
When the two students arrived at the training camp, they went to the apartments where the professors lived.
Zuo Li was one of the four professors sent by the Imperial Capital University this time. He was on duty tonight.
One of the students hesitated for a moment and said, "Professor Zuo, can we change to another group? Or we can change Ying Zijin. "
Hearing this, Zuo Li put down his pen and looked at the two of them.
