She had invited Old Master Zhong to come, but Old Master Zhong said he would celebrate only Ying Zijin’s birthday.
Ying Zijin’s birthday banquet was held at the Zhong Family home.
After finishing the call with Ying Zhenting, Zhong Manhua took Ying Yuexuan and started to leave the hotel.
However, as soon as she exited the hotel, she was surrounded by flashing lights.
Many reporters had gathered at the hotel entrance, representing various media from Shanghai City.
Upon seeing Zhong Manhua and Ying Yuexuan, they lifted their cameras and immediately started taking pictures.
Ying Yuexuan’s face turned pale, and she immediately retreated, using her bag to shield her face.
“What are you doing?” Zhong Manhua’s expression was very ugly as she scolded angrily, “Taking pictures indiscriminately, infringing on rights of likeness, do you know that’s illegal?”
However, why would the media care about that?
They extended their microphones toward Zhong Manhua and started asking questions directly.
“Madam Ying, you have always kept Miss Zijin’s identity a secret. Do you feel that because she comes from the countryside and doesn’t understand the etiquette of a wealthy family, she can’t compare to Ying Yuexuan, and that’s why you don’t acknowledge her?”
“Madam Ying, last year the ISC official website already announced the selections for the international competitions, six people in total, and Miss Zijin was one of them. As I know, Ying Yuexuan is from the same school as Miss Zijin, and it’s quite obvious that the school didn’t choose Ying Yuexuan.”
“Madam Ying, Miss Zijin’s piano playing is celebrated as unparalleled. You mistook a fish’s eye for a pearl—do you regret it?”
Every question was razor-sharp, hitting where it hurt the most.
Zhong Manhua’s face turned various shades of red and blue, shivering all over from being interrogated: “You, you…”
One of the reporters continued with another question: “Madam Ying, now that the truth has been exposed and you still show favoritism, holding a birthday banquet only for your foster daughter, are you really fit to be a mother?”
Upon hearing this, Zhong Manhua felt a surge of anger rise within her and a string in her mind snapped.
She could not catch her breath and, tilting her head, fainted.
“Mom!” Ying Yuexuan hastily supported Zhong Manhua, panicked, “Mom! Quick, call 120!”
When the media saw Zhong Manhua faint just like that, they were all quite regretful.
They didn’t bother to help and just carried their cameras and left.
Ying Yuexuan, biting her lip, had no choice but to take out her phone and start dialing the emergency number.

At the Zhong Family’s place.
Unlike what Ying Yuexuan thought, aside from the students from Verdant Class 19 and the people Ying Zijin knew from the capital, not a single one of Shanghai’s socialites was invited to the old Zhong residence.
Ying Zijin had no intention of making her birthday party grandiose.
Elder Zhong took over the tasks from Steward Zhong, directing the servants as they busied themselves.
Fu Yunshen sat in the living room.
He turned his head, looking at the Verdant students playing outside in the garden, his gaze gentle.
“Young Master, you foresaw this,” Yun Shan whispered, lowering his voice, “You knew that once the Ying Family found out no one was coming, they would cause trouble, so you arranged for the media to go there in advance and purposely asked those troublesome questions.”
Fu Yunshen’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled with a touch of nonchalance, “Oh?”
This move, he had learned from Nie Chao.
“Young Master, you don’t know, Madam Ying was angered to the point of fainting,” Yun Shan gloated, “She’s been taken to the hospital now. Ying Zhenting and Ying Yuexuan have both gone there. It seems Ying Yuexuan will have to spend her coming of age at the hospital. Serves her right.”
“No,” Fu Yunshen said indifferently, “Today is just Yaoyao’s coming of age.”
Yun Shan was momentarily stunned, remembering that everything about Ying Yuexuan, from start to finish, including her name and birthday, was false.
“I really feel sorry for Miss Ying,” Yun Shan muttered, “to be stuck with such a family.”
Fu Yunshen appeared thoughtful, and after a pause, he spoke, “Soon, she will no longer be Miss Ying.”
Yun Shan was initially puzzled, but then realized and exclaimed with joy, “Young Master, have you won her over?”
Fu Yunshen’s eyelashes drooped as he smiled, “I’m pursuing.”
Yun Shan: “…”
Little did he expect, he thought the young heir was about to emerge.

In the garden.
Xiu Yu was poking ants with a stick while his ears perked up, “Daddy Ying, do you have any happy news to share?”
“Mm,” Ying Zijin leaned against a tree, “He confessed to me.”
She paused, raising an eyebrow, “You must have known in advance.”
Xiu Yu coughed lightly, quite seriously, “Isn’t this for the sake of your lifelong happiness, to give you a little push? Isn’t it a pleasant surprise?”
“It was quite a surprise; I was thinking of agreeing right away.” Ying Zijin rested her chin on her hand, her expression lazy, “But before I could say anything, he said he wanted to pursue me, to let me experience what it’s like to be chased. He said we couldn’t skip that step.”
Xiu Yu fell silent for a moment, genuinely admiring, “To be so considerate of your feelings and yet able to restrain himself, what an ‘immortal’ man.”
For a moment, she didn’t know whether to sympathize with Fu Yunshen, who could have taken a superior position directly, or to pity herself for still being single up to now.
Xiu Yu then gossiped, “So how long do you plan to let him chase you?”
“I don’t know,” Ying Zijin thought for a while, “It depends on his performance.”
“Sigh.” Xiu Yu sounded sorrowful, “I don’t know why, but I feel like I’m sending off a daughter.”
Upon hearing this, Ying Zijin straightened up and placed a hand on Xiu Yu’s shoulder.
For the first time, Xiu Yu felt a chill all over. She stood up, “Daddy Ying, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing much.” Ying Zijin rolled up her sleeves, “I’ll teach you ancient martial arts.”
Xiu Yu: “…”
**
An hour later, the sun had set and night had fallen.
Xiu Yu collapsed onto the ground, “I’m done, I’m done, I’m dying.”
If she had known that eating that one pill would bestow her with the talent for ancient martial arts and necessitate such training, she would rather die than take it.

“This is just the basics,” Ying Zijin extended her hand to pull her up, “You haven’t even condensed your inner strength yet, you need to train properly.”
“Let’s eat first.” Xiu Yu waved her hand, “I need energy from food.”
Ying Zijin nodded in agreement.
Just then, her phone rang.
It was a call from Fu Yunshen.
Ying Zijin answered, “I’m right outside, so close yet you call me?”
From the other end, his gentle and steady voice said, “Yaoyao, look up.”
At the same time, Xiu Yu exclaimed with surprise, “Daddy Ying, look, look, look!”
Ying Zijin looked up.
Above the dark night sky, countless fireworks burst into bloom at the same moment.
In the end, they came together to form a sentence—
Happy 18th Birthday, Yaoyao.
She stood quietly under the night sky, her hand raised, weaving through the glimmers of light.
This was a spectacle of fireworks belonging only to her.

Once March was over, the weather gradually warmed up.
Ying Tianlv got out of the company and into his car.
He had already transferred the company he started with a few other gentlemen abroad to the domestic scene, although it was still small in scale compared to Ying Corporation and located in the suburbs.
Ying Tianlv was aware of this and hence was making efforts to develop the company.
He planned to have, at least within one year, the capacity to compete with Ying Corporation.
He had given up completely on Ying Zhenting but didn’t want the Ying Corporation to continue under Ying Zhenting’s control.
Ying Tianlv bit into a cigarette, lowered his eyelids, and looked at the new messages on WeChat.
Upon seeing them, his expression became animated.
[Tianlv, I’ve found out, this woman is indeed Jing Hongzhen, but her information is scarce. It’s known that she used to be among Shanghai City’s socialites and rich ladies, but her family is now gone.
This family had relations with the Ying Family in the past; I suspect she might have been an acquaintance of your father, which is why he adopted her child.]
Ying Tianlv frowned slightly and replied.
[Got it, I know now.]
He slowly exhaled, inserted the car key into the ignition, turned the steering wheel, and started the car.
After getting on the highway, he accelerated to 80km/h.
Just then, a frantic alarm went off inside the car.
[Beep beep beep—]
Ying Tianlv’s expression changed, and he immediately pressed the brakes.
The car didn’t slow down; instead, it picked up speed.
[Warning! Warning!]
