Wen Tinglan knew why Wen Fengmian asked this question.
It was because of Norton University.
That woman prioritized benefits above all else. She might come back to look for them after knowing that he had entered Norton University.
Wen Tinglan frowned slightly. "Dad, you mustn't be soft-hearted."
"Why would I?" Wen Fengmian's expression gradually faded. "You and Yaoyao are the most important. Dad knows that very well. Besides, she did that to you. I can't forgive her and I can't trust her anymore."
As he spoke, he sighed. "It's also my fault."
When Wen Tinglan was five years old, his biological mother came back once.
At that time, Wen Tinglan's psychological barrier was not particularly serious. However, he was claustrophobic and did not like to talk to unfamiliar people.
That woman did not know this and only felt that her son was not close to her.
In a fit of anger, she locked Wen Tinglan in the room and turned off all the lights. Then, she left without looking back.
Coincidentally, Ying Zijin had a fever that night. Wen Fengmian carried her to the hospital in town.
He originally wanted to bring Wen Tinglan along, but Wen Tinglan had never liked places like hospitals.
Wen Fengmian had no choice but to trust his ex-wife.
Even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs.
No one expected things to turn out like that.
Wen Tinglan's condition worsened. He did not speak for a few years, even to Wen Fengmian and Ying Zijin.
That woman did not come back for more than ten years.
Wen Tinglan hesitated for a moment. "Dad, they didn't really come to look for you, right?"
"No." Wen Fengmian shook his head slightly. "Don't worry about them. Let's eat."
Wen Tinglan picked up his chopsticks. At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Wen Fengmian looked up. "Who's here?"
Wen Tinglan was a student of an SS-ranked academy. His treatment was incomparable to other students. His dormitory was a single-person villa.
Usually, other than his Senior Brothers and Sisters, no one else would come.
Today was Hua's Lunar New Year, but not for others.
"I'll open the door." Wen Tinglan stood up and walked over to open the door.
Then, he saw the Vice Principal with his hands behind his back, looking very serious.
Wen Tinglan was stunned. "Greetings, Vice-Principal."
"Okay, okay, okay. I'm fine." The vice principal coughed a few times. "Did you talk to your sister on the phone just now?"
Wen Tinglan did not know why he asked this, but he still nodded.
The vice-principal rubbed his hands together. "Then, did she ask about me?"
"No."
The young man had an expression that said, "Why would I greet you?"
Vice-principal: "…"
He knew he was a tool man.
Wen Tinglan asked, "Is there anything else?"
"Yes, of course." The vice-principal looked serious. "Well, I know that Hua Hua plays mahjong during the New Year."
Wen Tinglan was slightly surprised that the vice-principal knew their customs so well. He nodded again. "Yes, there is."
"You see, there are only three of us. We can't play mahjong." The vice-principal slowly took out a deck of cards from his pocket. "How about Fight the Landlord?"
"…"
**
The New Year passed in a flash. At the end of February, the ISC semi-finals officially ended.
The rankings were announced on the official website.
Ranked first was still the mysterious number one on the overall rankings, and she was far ahead.
However, this number one had not revealed her identity or name. Many viewers who went to the Shark Live Streaming platform could not match this number one to any of the academic gurus.
They did not even think about Ying Zijin at all.
After all, normal people would not be in the mood to participate in the qualifiers and semi-finals after receiving a direct entry to the international competition.
As Ying Zijin's popularity increased, more and more people paid attention to the ISC.
Although most people could not understand the questions, there was still a bet online.
They were betting on whether Ying Zijin or the number one on the overall rankings would be higher in the international finals.
[Place your bets. Who is the number one on the overall rankings or Yingshen?]
[I bet on Yingshen. No reason. I'm just looking at the face.]
[Obviously, the number one on the overall rankings is insanely strong. Her answering speed is unparalleled. I bet on the number one on the overall rankings.]
In Class 19, Xiu Yu looked at these comments and touched her chin. "Why isn't there a bet that you and the number one on the overall rankings are the same person?"
Ying Zijin heard this and took off her headphones. "Bet? There's money? "
Xiu Yu choked. "No, there's only a vote."
"Oh."
The girl put on her headphones again and stopped paying attention.
Xiu Yu finished browsing Weibo and became interested. "Papa YIng, can I accompany you to the international finals?"
"You have to take the college entrance exam well." Ying Zijin yawned and raised her eyebrows. "Don't come to see me if you don't score more than 650."
Xiu Yu: "…"
She silently turned to the side and saw Jiang Ran crazily doing questions.
Ever since this guy's internal force was completely suppressed, he had been addicted to physics and mathematics, unable to extricate himself.
Xiu Yu silently took out a paper and began to write.
**
There were a total of 1200 spots in the international finals. Ying Yuexuan's final score was 1109, so she naturally entered the international finals.
Zhong Manhua was not very happy when she found out.
She didn't feel good about it.
During the New Year, many rich ladies came to visit her and said the same thing.
Even the tone of their voices was the same.
"Ying Zijin is really amazing. Her piano piece became popular all over the Internet. She's even the God of Studying promoted by the TV station. It's a pity, Manhua, why isn't she your biological daughter? "
"Otherwise, you can also bask in the light. Sigh, there's no other way. She's already left Family Ying. You can't bask in the light."
Zhong Manhua could not chase them away. She could only reluctantly listen to them. Her mood became worse and worse, and even her expression towards Ying Yuexuan was not good.
Ying Yuexuan tried her best to enter the international finals, but Ying Zijin had already gotten a spot.
It could be seen at a glance who was better.
Zhong Manhua sat on the sofa in a daze. She did not even notice that Ying Yuexuan had returned home.
"Mom, the medical doctor I asked senior to invite has arrived." Ying Yuexuan pursed her lips and clenched her fingers. "When will grandma be treated?"
"Really?" Zhong Manhua was stunned at first. Then, she was pleasantly surprised. "He's already in Hu City?"
"Yes." Ying Yuexuan took out her phone and opened a file. "This is Doctor Nora. He has a very high reputation internationally."
Zhong Manhua took it and looked at it. The discomfort in her heart was forgotten. "Xiao Xuan, fortunately, we have you. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to invite such an amazing medical doctor."
To put it bluntly, the scope of Family Ying's business was too small.
It had no involvement in the academic and medical circles, and no connections.
Zhong Manhua comforted herself in her heart.
No matter what, Ying Yuexuan was still very outstanding. At least, Ying Zijin could not treat Old Lady Ying.
Her choice was not wrong.
Moreover, the Yuan Family had already arranged for Ying Yuexuan and Yuan Jiacheng to be engaged.
But what about Ying Zijin's side?
She and Fu Yunshen were not even close.
Maybe they were just fooling around.
Only when things were stable could Zhong Manhua feel relieved.
"Then we'll go now." Zhong Manhua stood up. "Is Doctor Nora free now?"
"Yes." Ying Yuexuan secretly sighed in relief. "She's in the First Hospital."
Zhong Manhua nodded and called Ying Zhenting. Then, she took Ying Yuexuan to the First Hospital.
Old Lady Ying's headache was getting worse day by day, so she had been staying in the hospital.
After Nuo La finished examining Old Madame Ying, she left the ward.
Ying Zhenting hurried forward. "Doctor Nora, how is it?"
"Old Lady Ying's headache is really strange." Nora frowned and hesitated for a moment. "I'm not sure. I need someone to take a look at her."
Hearing this, Ying Zhenting and Zhong Manhua's expressions changed.
Old Lady Ying's illness was so troublesome that even Nora found it difficult to treat her. Did they need another doctor?
Nora had treated many difficult and complicated diseases. Otherwise, she wouldn't have such a high status in the medical field.
Pei Tianyi had helped Ying Yuexuan invite her over because she owed Pei Tianyi a favor.
At that time, Pei Tianyi had helped her track down an important item that had gone missing in the laboratory.
Zhong Manhua was very nervous. "Doctor Nora, is there a high chance that she can be cured?"
"I'm 50% sure." Nora smiled. "If she's here, I'm 100% sure."
Zhong Manhua sighed in relief. "Doctor Nora, who are you going to invite?"
She guessed that the person who could be invited by Nora personally should be a very powerful doctor in Continent O.
"Wait a minute." Nora said, "I'll make a call. She's in Shanghai."
Zhong Manhua was stunned. "In Shanghai?"
Nora nodded and took out her phone.
She found Ying Zijin's WeChat and made a voice call.
Three seconds later, the call went through.
Nora said, "Hello, Mr. Ying."
