Chapter 26: Ying Luwei Never Thought

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The secretary was stunned for a moment before he understood.

He was completely giving up on this adopted daughter of the Ying family.

Jiang Moyuan closed his eyes and said, “If there’s nothing else, you can leave.”

“Rest well, Third Master.” With that, the secretary closed the door carefully.

After retreating, he shook his head.

He had followed Third Master to Qingshui County to inspect before. At that time, this adopted daughter of the Ying family was still very simple-minded and honest. Now?

Sure enough, she became tempted by the debauchery in the big city and only wanted to climb up the social ladder.

Fortunately, Third Master saw through it clearly.

After the secretary thought for a moment, he went to the pantry. Then, he took out his phone and made a call. “Miss Luwei…”

After a few days of recuperation, Wen Fengmian’s condition was much better.

However, because he had been ill for a long time, it wasn’t easy for him to recover in a single day.

The first batch of medicinal herbs had already been used up, so Ying Zijin went to order some fresh medicinal herbs.

Hucheng didn’t have a backer and the herbs were all imported from other places.

Since she needed top-notch herbs, dozens of catties cost hundreds of thousands.

While waiting, Ying Zijin walked into a dessert shop nearby and ordered mango glutinous rice meatball.

She took out her new phone and lit it up. On the screen, there were all kinds of apps that she was prepared to play with.

The greatest advantage of having new technology was that she wouldn’t be very bored.

After Ying Zijin opened one of them and looked at the image of herself with two rabbit ears on, she was deep in thought.

She heard that this was called a selfie. It seemed quite interesting.

After she selected a filter and accessories, she pressed the shutter.

“Crack—”

The crisp sound made the person sitting at the opposite table look up.

It was a girl wearing a sunhat and sunglasses. She covered herself very tightly.

She frowned unhappily. “How did they track me all the way here? Get her to delete the photo. I don’t want to be on the trending searches because of a photo.”

The assistant understood and immediately walked forward to say, “Delete the photo you took. Miss Luo doesn’t like fans taking photos of her, understand?”

“If you refuse, we can sue you.”

The assistant’s voice wasn’t loud, but the customers in the dessert shop heard it.

They all looked over curiously.

“There’s a celebrity here? Look, look, isn’t she that celebrity? How gorgeous?!”

“You mean that young lady in the black shirt? That’s definitely impossible. No one would forget such a face. There’s no such person in the entertainment industry.”

“It’s not that person. It’s that one over there. Have you heard of Luo Ziyue? She’s tenth in the talent show Youth 101. She’s quite popular.”

“I think I’ve heard of her before, but I don’t have any impression of her…”

There was a heated discussion.

Seeing that the girl had no intention of deleting the photo, the assistant tried to snatch the phone from her hand.

However, not only didn’t she manage to snatch it, but her hand accidentally touched the glutinous mango rice ball.

Only then did Ying Zijin look up and say indifferently, “You dirtied my dessert.”

“It’s your fault for not deleting the photo.” The assistant was also full of anger. “Why did you follow Sister Luo all the way here? Don’t you know how to respect her?”

Upon hearing this, the customers were enlightened.

She was so good-looking, but she was actually a sasaeng fan?

Ying Zijin closed the app and asked, “Who?”

“…”

There was a sudden awkwardness.

The assistant froze.

After Luo Ziyue stood up, she took off her sunglasses and revealed her pretty face, which had an impatient look on it. “You don’t have to pretend that you don’t know me. I’ve seen many people like you. Yesterday, I was chased until one of my shoes fell off. You guys still won’t let me off?”

She hated sasaeng fans since they didn’t give her any privacy.

After Ying Zijin raised her head and took a look, she said, “I don’t stan ugly people. Thank you.”

Some people laughed out loud.

Luo Ziyue was furious. Just as she was about to speak, a female beside her stood up.

“I was at the next table. I saw it clearly. The young lady was taking a selfie. She didn’t take a photo of you at all.”

Then, she muttered softly, “She’s so good-looking. Why would she take photos of you instead of herself?”

If she had such a face, she would admire herself in the mirror every day. Why would she stan celebrities?

When the female student said that, a few of her friends agreed.

“That’s right. She really didn’t take a photo of you. She definitely doesn’t know you either.”

“To be honest, since you wore sunglasses, even we didn’t recognize you.”

Luo Ziyue’s face turned livid with embarrassment.

With the popularity of Youth 101, there was actually someone who didn’t know her?

“Compensate me.” Ying Zijin lowered her head and looked at her phone without giving her another look.

The girl’s tone was calm, but she gave people a sense of pressure.

The assistant’s face couldn’t help but turn pale.

Everyone was watching, so it was impossible for Luo Ziyue to walk away with a straight face. This would affect her popularity.

Reluctantly, she took three hundred bucks from her wallet and slammed them on the table. “Is that enough?” she asked through clenched teeth.

“The counter is there.”

“…”

Luo Ziyue was so embarrassed and angry that her face flushed, but she had no choice but to personally go to the counter and order another serving.

After what had happened, she wasn’t in the mood to stay any longer. She left in a hurry with her assistant.

Ying Zijin turned the long spoon in her hand and prepared to bring this back for Wen Tinglan.

While they were waiting for their meal, the woman from before came over. “Miss, are you a trainee from some company?”

“Hm?” Ying Zijin was quite patient with the young lady. “No.”

“Ah…” The female student scratched her head as she said, “Sister, if you enter the entertainment industry, I’ll definitely be your fan!”

Ying Zijin yawned and said, “I’m not joining the entertainment industry, and I won’t in the future either.”

She wasn’t interested in acting. No one could stop her from enjoying her retirement life.

The female student wasn’t dejected. Instead, she probed, “Miss, can I take a photo with you? I definitely won’t spread it around and hurt your reputation.”

Ying Zijin raised her eyebrows slightly and said, “It’s alright, I don’t mind.”

She could use this as an opportunity to learn selfie techniques.

After the female student took out her phone and took a photo, she went back happily.

Then, she posted on Weibo.

[@Peach-loving Roundy: I met a pretty young lady in Hucheng. A certain contestant in Youth 101 thought that the young lady was taking photos of her. Unexpectedly, she didn’t know her at all. In order to prevent exposing the young lady’s privacy, I mosaicked the photo.]

The woman was a blogger with 100,000 fans. An hour later, her post was reposted hundreds of times.

[It’s obvious that Luo Ziyue relied on her relationship with a certain rich young master to debut. Does she really think she’s so famous?]

[I’m dying of laughter. The passerby doesn’t know her at all, but she thought that she was taking photos of her. How shameless.]

[Although I can’t see her face, her figure is so sexy. Will she enter the entertainment industry in the future?]

[Do you see the brand of the phone she’s using? Vertu is even more expensive than an iPhone. She’s probably a rich young lady from a wealthy family, so she won’t enter the entertainment industry.]

This Weibo post wasn’t trending, but the number of views had exceeded 100,000.

Coincidentally, Ying Luwei’s manager saw this Weibo post.

He felt that this figure was very familiar, so he pushed the phone to Ying Luwei. “Luwei, take a look. Is this your fake niece?”

Ying Luwei was touching up her makeup. After she took a casual glance, she said, “It’s her.”

“Is she going to enter the entertainment industry?” The manager’s expression was serious as he said, “If she wants to enter the entertainment industry, it’s best to sign with us. That way, she’ll be easier to control.”

He had seen the adopted daughter of the Ying family before. She was indeed good-looking.

If it weren’t for her long-term anemia and dispirited appearance, Ying Luwei wouldn’t be able to compare to her.

He couldn’t let her affect Ying Luwei.

Hearing this, Ying Luwei’s hand paused. “I’ll make a call and ask.”

However, the call didn’t go through at all.

Ying Luwei didn’t expect to be blacklisted.

An inexplicable sense of frustration overcame her, and she felt as if she was losing control of something.

Her manager noticed her abnormality and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing.” Ying Luwei said with a smile, “Maybe she’s busy. I’ll go back to the old residence in a while.”

The manager knew about her situation, so he nodded and said, “You have to be careful. Fortunately, you removed the trending topic in time that day.”

Ying Luwei didn’t say anything, but she pursed her lips.

After Ying Zijin sent the herbs back to Wen Fengmian’s residence, she received a call from Fu Yunshen.

When she went downstairs, the car was already waiting there.

She had made an appointment to treat him to a meal today.

After getting into the car and fastening his seatbelt, the man turned his head to look at her. Then, he raised his eyebrows and asked, “What are you going to treat me to?”

After Ying Zijin thought for a moment, she said, “How about hotpot skewers? I’ve never eaten them before.”

She had heard that junk food was delicious, so she really wanted to eat it.

“I haven’t eaten either.” Fu Yunshen picked up his phone and started searching. “You’re not in good health, so let’s find a hygienic place to eat at.”

As soon as he clicked on it, his phone vibrated. Then, a new message had appeared.

“Beep, beep, beep.”

After Fu Yunshen lowered his head, his expression changed slightly.
