Twenty years ago, the turmoil in the Ryan family had spread like wildfire.
But after so many years, very few people talked about it.
Not all the residents of the World City knew why Su Wen was in a coma.
The manager saw that the girl and the woman's eyebrows were very similar, so he said so.
If it wasn't the eldest daughter of the Ryan family, who else would be worth Su Wen personally bringing here to make clothes?
This sentence directly hit her soul.
It was like a bronze bell had rung in her ears. Even Su Wen was shaken to the core.
She was instantly stunned on the spot, tears suddenly falling down.
Ying Zijin's eyes trembled.
The manager was even more shocked, "Eldest madam?"
Did he say something wrong?
"Sir, aunt isn't my mother." Ying Zijin supported Su Wen and explained, "The eldest daughter passed away many years ago. When aunt heard this, it was inevitable that she would be very sad."
The manager's expression changed and he suddenly knelt down, his voice panicked, "Eldest madam, I misspoke. Please punish me!"
Su Wen's daughter had died many years ago when she was born, but he actually said such disgraceful words.
He deserved to die!
"What is this? Why do I have to be punished?" Su Wen wiped her tears and bent down to personally help him up. She smiled, "Don't talk about you. When I saw Yaoyao, I also felt that she looked a bit like me."
"I feel that we are fated to meet. Let's not talk about anything else. Take her to make clothes first."
The manager wiped his sweat, "Thank you, eldest madam."
He often interacted with many nobles, so he knew how hard it was to serve these people at the top of the circle.
There was once a shop assistant who accidentally spilled red wine on a noble lady's purse and was dragged out by the bodyguards.
If this matter happened to any other noble, he might not be able to keep his life.
But Su Wen wasn't like that.
She often visited the residents and even set up a special fund to donate.
No wonder Su Wen was respected by so many residents back then.
"Miss Ying, this way please." The manager said respectfully, "This is our chief fashion designer. If you have any requests, feel free to let her know."
This was Su Wen's kindness. Ying Zijin would never refuse. She nodded slightly and said, "Thank you."
She followed the fashion designer to the scanner inside, which could scan all the measurements. It was very convenient.
After the fashion designer recorded the girl's measurements, she asked her to choose the fabric.
The technology of the World City was very advanced. Intelligent AI and robots had replaced many human jobs.
However, this clothing design shop still retained a very original design.
Some patterns and techniques designed by humans could never be matched by machines.
The manager stepped forward again. "First Madam, I misspoke. This is an SVIP card specially made for Miss Ying. In the future, when Miss Ying comes here to spend money, there is no limit to the amount, and it is free of charge."
"There's no need for it to be free. Just put it under my name." Su Wen said, "You're also a small business. It's not easy, but you don't have to tell her about this."
The manager understood. "First Madam, I understand."
Thirty minutes later, Ying Zijin came out.
Su Wen was sitting on the sofa drinking tea. She looked up and asked with a smile, "How was it?"
"I chose a dress and three sets of daily wear." Ying Zijin took out a card. "Auntie, I'll —"
Her hand was pressed down.
Su Wen was half amused and half angry. "Yaoyao, you saved me. Even all the assets under my name can't make up for it. You're still being polite with me for a few clothes."
Ying Zijin's hand paused, but she still put it back.
She and Su Wen did hit it off, and they could talk about many things together.
Occasionally, Su Wen could even inadvertently remind her of the problems in the experiment.
"Yaoyao, didn't you say that you have an adoptive father and brother?" Su Wen was very concerned. "Do you want to bring them here? I can help arrange it. "
"Not for the time being. They're not used to it." Ying Zijin slowly shook her head. "Auntie, some things are more difficult than you think."
"Are you talking about the Sage?" Su Wen was silent for a moment. "I also suspect that Ah Yuan's disappearance is related to the Sage Courtyard. Otherwise, who would dare to make a move on him?"
But there were three problems.
First, their mortal bodies couldn't fight against the Sage Courtyard, who was known as "God".
Second, there were no traces or evidence. They didn't know which Sage Courtyard was behind it.
Third, the Sage Courtyard's status in the World City was too high. All the residents believed in the Sage Courtyard.
"I'll look into this matter." Ying Zijin's eyes narrowed and she smiled. "Auntie, you still need to rest. I'll take you home."

Five o 'clock in the afternoon.
The research institute.
At the Academy of Engineering.
After Dean Norman checked the experimental data prepared for Ying Zijin, he prepared to go home to see his dog and cat.
At this time, the dean of the Gene Institute barged in.
With a cold expression, he went straight to the point. "Norman, did you do something to my student?"
"Mervyn is a seedling personally chosen by Lord Magician. If anything happens to him, your Academy of Engineering will be in trouble. Hurry up and hand him over!"
"What did you say?" Dean Norman pushed up his glasses and sneered. "Did you insert the stupid roe deer's genes into your DNA when you were researching biological genes?"
The dean of the Gene Institute was stunned. Then, he reacted. "Are you calling me stupid?"
"Oh, wrong, wrong." Dean Norman closed his computer. "The stupid roe deer is much cuter than you. It should be a paramecium."
"Norman!" The dean of the Gene Institute was furious. "I'm not going to argue with you. Hurry up and hand over Mervyn."
"What a joke. I haven't made a fuss about the fact that your Gene Institute made a move on my Academy of Engineering's student." Dean Norman said coldly, "You're questioning me now. Do you think I'm as despicable and shameless as your Gene Institute?"
The dean of the Gene Institute was even more furious. "Norman, you —"
Before he could finish his words, Dean Norman raised the laser cannon on the table and aimed it at him.
This laser cannon had been developed not long ago and had not been officially sold on W.com yet.
The dean of the Gene Institute did not need to think to know how powerful it was.
He panicked and turned to leave. He even tried to put on a strong front and said, "Norman, just you wait!"
"Hmph, I'll wait." Dean Norman put the laser cannon into the foldable bag and looked at the time. Then, he went to find Ying Zijin.
He had specially built a secret laboratory for Ying Zijin.
"Disciple, Master has sent something for you." Dean Norman was delighted. "Your development is faster than I expected. You can directly start on the S-rank experiment."
Ying Zijin took it and flipped through it. "Okay."
The S-rank experiment this time had little to do with aviation. It was about weapons.
After reading it, she picked up a candy from the table and handed it over. "Master, here."
"Treat Master to candy?" Dean Norman tore open the candy wrapper and swallowed it.
It was crunchy and strawberry-flavored.
It was quite delicious.
Dean Norman took two steps and seemed to have thought of something. He turned back. "I'll choose you to go to the Sage Courtyard in September. Will you go?"
Ying Zijin narrowed her eyes and replied, "I'll go and have some fun."
"Have fun?" Dean Norman's expression was serious. "Disciple, you have to take it easy. Don't learn from your senior sister. She almost blew up the Sage Courtyard."
Ying Zijin: "…"
She did not have the hobby of blowing things up.

Late at night.
Su Wen went to the cemetery alone and once again came in front of the small stone tablet.
She half-knelt down and pressed her forehead against the cold stone tablet. She muttered in a low voice, "Tan Tan, the temperature is low today. I don't know if you're cold. Mother sewed a lot of clothes for you."
As she spoke, Su Wen opened the box next to her. Inside were clothes of all sizes.
From a newborn baby to a 19-year-old girl, there was not a single piece missing.
These days, Su Wen did not sleep much. Half of the time, she was sewing clothes.
Su Wen lowered her head and wiped her eyes. "Tan Tan, today, someone mistook the little girl I told you about last time for you. She …"
As if struck by lightning, the words the manager said in the fashion design store in the afternoon echoed in her ears again.
"First Miss and First Madam are really alike, just like sisters."
It was just a casual remark from the manager, but Su Wen's heart could no longer calm down.
She stood silently in the black cemetery and looked at the tombstone.
She had buried her Tan Tan with her own hands. She should not have any delusions.
All her motherly love had died with this tombstone twenty years ago.
But if …
Once an incredible thought came to her mind, Su Wen could not stop thinking about it.
She turned and walked out of the cemetery. When she came to the hall, she directly said, "Butler."
The butler hurried over and knelt on one knee. "Madam, please give me your orders."
"Go through the formalities. Now go out of the city and investigate a family for me." Su Wen said word by word. "Hua City, Hu City, Family Ying!"
