Ying Yuexuan had a vague guess in her heart, but she wasn't sure. She didn't want to confirm it either.
Apart from sending her that MMS, this unknown number had also sent her a lot of information related to Family Ying.
There were even photos of the orphanage she used to stay in.
Ying Zhenting had taken her back from the orphanage.
She was still young at that time, so she didn't have any memories of it.
In fact, Ying Yuexuan had found out that she wasn't the daughter of Family Ying much earlier than that.
When she was in junior high school, she had overheard Ying Zhenting and Zhong Manhua talking about this.
It was also from then on that she started to bear with it. She had already started to think of ways to push Zhong Zhiwan away.
If people found out that she wasn't even the daughter of Family Ying, how could she compete with Zhong Zhiwan and the other daughters of rich families?
Later on, she had asked Ying Zhenting about it. Ying Zhenting had told her that her parents were dead. Only then did she secretly heave a sigh of relief.
However, when she saw the third message, her back tensed up and she broke out in a cold sweat.
Indeed!
[I'm your biological mother, Jing Hongzhen.]
This line of words made Ying Yuexuan stand up abruptly.
Because she moved so violently, her chair toppled over.
"Miss Yuexuan." Yuan Jiacheng had just arrived at the door. When he heard the commotion, he knocked on the door. "Are you okay?"
"I-I'm fine." Ying Yuexuan gripped her phone tightly. "I accidentally knocked over the chair."
"Okay." Yuan Jiacheng didn't probe further. His voice was gentle as he said, "If you need anything, you can tell me. I'll help."
She heard his footsteps and he left.
After a long time, Ying Yuexuan finally calmed down.
She immediately wanted to delete the three messages and block this number. She wouldn't meet Jing Hongzhen.
She was the daughter of Family Ying. Her mother was Zhong Manhua.
However, the other party seemed to know what she was thinking.
His phone beeped again.
[Even if you don't see me, I'm still your mother.]
[You have to believe that in this world, I am the only one who will completely stand by your side and help you. Are you really not afraid that Family Ying will take their biological daughter back?]
Ying Yuexuan stared at the line of words. Her palms were sweaty.
In the end, she made up her mind.
[Okay, I'll be there.]

Downstairs.
Father Yuan returned at this time. His expression was a little ugly, and he couldn't help but sigh.
When Meng Ru saw him, she immediately stood up and walked over. "What's wrong?"
"We didn't manage to get an invitation to the Nie family's New Year's banquet." Father Yuan shook his head. "It seems that we have no chance at all."
Today was the 7th of February. The Nie family's New Year's Eve banquet was held in less than a week.
The guest list was personally drawn up by Old Master Nie.
If they couldn't get it now, it meant that they weren't invited.
"I see." Meng Ru was also very disappointed, but this was within her expectations. She muttered to herself for a moment. "Master, let's go with my previous suggestion."
If they wanted to cooperate with the Nie family, of course, relying on Ying Yuexuan definitely wouldn't work. They needed connections.
That was why she had arranged for Ying Yuexuan to go to Imperial Capital University.
When the time came, they would be able to invite the computer science professors of Imperial Capital University to help.
Father Yuan was still a little unwilling, but he still agreed. "Okay, you do as you see fit. An engagement isn't a marriage. It can be canceled at any time."
Meng Ru nodded and went to contact Family Ying.

At night, in the hotel.
In the living room of the presidential suite.
After Nie Chao arrived, he took out a white card with a gilded edge and handed it to the girl. "Boss, here you go."
Ying Zijin took it. "What is this?"
"An invitation to the New Year's banquet." Nie Chao flipped his hair coquettishly. "My old man specifically told me to give you one."
Ying Zijin looked at it and felt that the design of the invitation was not bad. She thought for a moment and asked, "Is there anything delicious to eat?"
"Yes, of course." Nie Chao was very generous. "We invited several domestic and international chefs and a dessert chef."
Ying Zijin nodded and accepted it.
The ISC training camp would last until the end of February. There would be a seven-day break for the New Year.
Not counting the time for tutoring, Qing Zhi would start school in March. She would be able to go back just in time.
After all, she had promised the principal that she would take the college entrance exam.
Ying Zijin pondered for a moment and took out a palm-sized box from her backpack. "Here, keep it. Don't let anyone see it."
Nie Chao was flattered. "Boss, you are too kind."
"Don't mention it." Ying Zijin did not look up. "It's on the way."
This was the finished product of the snow ganoderma that she had bought at the auction last time.
She had made this medicine together after putting up a reward for other medicinal herbs on the NOK forum.
After going to Norton University last time, she had brought back the medicine furnace that she used before.
She had carefully made this medicine furnace. It was not big and could be carried around.
It could also perfectly preserve all the medicinal effects during the process of making medicine. There would not be any leakage.
If it was the medicine furnace used by the ancient doctors, it could only make six pills at most. However, her medicine furnace could make twelve pills at once.
It was just enough.
Ying Zijin took out a more exquisite and bigger box from her backpack and handed it to Fu Yunshen. "This is yours."
Nie Chao looked at his own box and then looked at Fu Yunshen's. "…"
F * ck, his dog eyes must be blind!
It was different from Nie Chao's.
After taking the box, Fu Yunshen could guess what was inside.
Because this box was specially used by ancient doctors.
His eyes gradually darkened. "Yaoyao, don't make it if you can."
Ordinary pills that could prolong one's life and replenish one's blood and qi were fine.
But pills like the Beauty Pill and other medicine that could increase the strength of ancient martial artists would deplete their vitality.
It was like fortune-telling, an eye for an eye.
If you wanted to get something, you had to pay a certain price.
Ying Zijin looked up and looked at him lazily. "I know. I cherish my life so much. Also, I am stronger than them. These can't hurt me."
Fu Yunshen rubbed her head. "Then don't make it."
Nie Chao put away his box and suddenly said, "Boss, I have something to tell you. You don't know, right? Seventh Young Master, he —"
Before he could finish, his voice was suddenly cut off and he could not utter a single word.
Nie Chao was dumbfounded.
What was going on?
Ying Zijin narrowed her eyes and looked at Nie Chao. "What's wrong with him?"
"There's something that has to do with Nie Chao." Fu Yunshen stood up unhurriedly and pressed down on Nie Chao's shoulder. "I'll go out and talk to him."
Ying Zijin nodded and continued watching TV.
After leaving, Nie Chao was suddenly able to speak again. He turned pale with fright. "F * ck, Seventh Young Master, I saw a ghost. I almost thought I was mute."
Fu Yunshen put a hand in his pocket and said indifferently, "Yeah, I hit your mute acupoint from afar."
Otherwise, who knew what this silly husky would say?
"Seventh Young Master, don't tease me." Nie Chao mumbled. "You've been watching too much wuxia."
Even the ancient martial artists he had read about weren't this amazing.
"Let's not talk about this. If you dare say a word in front of her —" Fu Yunshen patted his collar and smiled. "I'll send you to the seventh special district."
Nie Chao shivered and screamed, "Are you f * cking human?"
Of course he had heard of the seventh special district.
It was a special area in the southernmost part of the O continent and had a cold climate.
Yizi's preliminary team members would train there.
Only after passing the training could they become official team members.
Nie Chao had been lucky enough to go there with Nie Yi once and had been scared shitless.
Not only were there many elite mercenaries and agents in the seventh special district, there were also many wild animals.
But in fact, the seventh special district was IBI's exclusive training base.
"So, be good and don't talk nonsense." Fu Yunshen raised his peach blossom eyes. "I won't do anything."
"I know, I know." Nie Chao immediately covered his mouth. "I won't say anything."
He really believed that Fu Yunshen was capable of doing anything.
The two went back in.
Ying Zijin looked up again and her gaze fell on Nie Chao.
Nie Chao immediately raised his hand. "Boss, I just want to tell you about how Seventh Young Master and my big brother used to fight together. Then Seventh Young Master told me to be good and not talk nonsense."
Ying Zijin looked at Fu Yunshen.
Fu Yunshen raised his eyebrows and said casually, "Yes, that's how it is."
Ying Zijin lowered her head.
Look, even men were flirting.
There was probably nothing in this world that he couldn't coax.
**
Nie Chao was quickly kicked out of the hotel.
He didn't want to be a third wheel and carried the box Ying Zijin gave him home in the cold wind.
After entering the courtyard, he carefully opened the box.
Inside was a round blue and white pill that emitted a faint fragrance that made one feel refreshed.
Nie Chao walked in with the box and picked up the pill with one hand, ready to eat it.
What surprised him was that there was an outsider in the Nie family mansion at this time.
It was a tall middle-aged man who emitted a sharp aura all over, as though he walked on the edge of a knife all year round.
Nie Chao sensed the army and immediately put the pill into the box and quickly put it in his pocket.
However, this short period of ten seconds was enough for the middle-aged man to notice.
Instantly, his eyes locked onto Nie Chao's pocket. His gaze was like a torch that almost materialized.
"Young Master Nie, this is —"
"Just a candy." Nie Chao frowned and took a step back. "What?"
The middle-aged man stepped forward and was about to say something.
Behind him, Old Master Nie's slightly hoarse voice sounded majestically. "Butler Lin, this is the Nie family."
Butler Lin looked at Nie Chao thoughtfully, nodded, and left without saying anything.
"Grandpa." Nie Chao walked over. "Who was that?"
Old Master Nie waved his hand. "Go back to your books. You'll know in the future."
In the beginning, Old Master Nie groomed Nie Yi as his successor and even sent him to the ancient martial arts world to cultivate.
As for Nie Chao, he only hoped that this kid could grow up safely.
But the only thing that Old Master Nie missed was that Nie Yi was too outstanding and inherited Yizi.
Nie Chao was different from Nie Yi.
He didn't plan to let Nie Chao know about the ancient medicine and ancient martial arts world for now.
This kid was easily broken down. He had to be mentally prepared.
Nie Chao scratched his head and went upstairs.
He opened the box again and swallowed the pill. "It seems to be blueberry-flavored."
Nie Chao kept the box in his drawer and locked it.
Sleepiness came over him. He originally planned to sleep.
But when he thought of the middle-aged man just now, his gaze was very strange. Nie Chao perked up and sent a message to Nie Yi.
[My brother, does Yizi have a temporary team? Lend it to me for a while.]
A few minutes later, Nie Yi replied.
[Okay, I'll be there tomorrow.]
**
After Butler Lin left the Nie family, he set off for the ancient martial arts world.
He first went to pay a visit to the head of the Lin family, Lin Jinyun. After talking about the Nie family and Family Mu, he went to see Lin Qingjia.
Lin Qingjia had just finished treating an ancient martial artist of the Lin family. There was still blood on her hands.
She didn't care and began to clean up.
Butler Lin went forward and lowered his voice to ensure that no one else could hear him. "Miss Qingjia, I smelled a faint fragrance in the Nie family. This fragrance is very magical. I can feel my bottleneck loosening."
"I asked, but they probably don't know either. They even said it was candy."
Butler Lin's inner strength hadn't improved for a long time. It was stuck at a point.
He had also taken the medicine sent by the ancient medicine world, but it was useless.
But today, he only smelled the medicinal fragrance in the Nie family, and it had such an effect.
Butler Lin didn't dare to imagine what would happen if he took that medicine.
Lin Qingjia's expression froze, and gradually became serious. "Which family in the ancient medicine world is the Nie family related to?"
"It's also Family Meng," Butler Lin said. "But it shouldn't be Family Meng. The medicine refined by Miss Meng isn't that strong."
In the ancient medicine world, Family Meng had the most contact with the secular families, but only the youngest generation.
The remaining ancient doctors didn't even bother to treat ordinary people, let alone deliver medicine.
