Chapter 198: Big shot is big shot, the courting death Zhong Manhua [2 more updates]

Ying Zijin’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.

A few seconds later, her voice sounded unhurried, “Your total score is 745, with 145 in Chinese and a perfect score in the other subjects. You’re not only the top scorer in Shanghai City’s college entrance examination but also the highest scorer in the national exam paper.”

Shanghai City, like ten other provinces and cities, used the national exam paper this time.

Millions of students took the exam.

Being the top scorer in the college entrance examination and being the first in the national exam paper are two different things.

The girl spoke earnestly, and Wen Tinglan almost believed her.

His lips taut, his expression gloomy, he said, “Sis, stop teasing me.”

“Hmm,” Ying Zijin raised an eyebrow slightly, “Then just wait.”

She slowly poured a cup of hot water and leaned back in the chair. “Dad, get your phone ready. You’re going to receive a lot of calls in the next few days. I’ve paid the phone bill for you.”

“Okay,” Wen Fong Mian didn’t say much, just smiled, “Dad will be waiting.”

In a city, gossip always spreads the fastest.

But Su Ruan never expected that the rumor would not be about Fu Yunshen wanting to pursue her to steal Fu Yihan’s girl.

Instead, it was about her being blacklisted by Century Mall, forever barred from entering.

Since Century Mall monopolized the luxurious goods market, Su Ruan simply couldn’t buy the latest seasonal dresses and accessories.

Even her complaint calls were to no avail, and she was so angry that she smashed her phone.

She knew all too well how the socialites and rich ladies mocked her.

Yet, she couldn’t just run back to Imperial Capital since she was married in Shanghai City.

If she did that, Fu Mingcheng and Madam Fu would surely be displeased with her.

“Fu Yihan, what exactly did you mean that day?” Su Ruan’s eyes were red, “The one who should have left was clearly him, why did you pull me away?”

Her encounters with Fu Yunshen brought not only disgust but also a sense of superiority.

She was his fiancée, yet he couldn’t have her and even had to call her “sister-in-law.”

Just thinking about it made Su Ruan feel exhilarated.

Fu Yihan’s expression paused for a moment, but he simply said, “No matter what, Yunshen is my brother, and grandfather’s favorite as well.”

“Am I not your wife then?” Su Ruan said, tears streaming down again, “Do you know how much pressure I had to face from my family when I married you?”

“Xiao Ruan, that’s not what I meant,” Fu Yihan embraced her, coaxing in a low voice, “And about this matter, it’s us who should apologize to Yunshen.”

“Why should you apologize to him?” Su Ruan pushed him away sharply, “Can’t he look at what a mess he is, whether he’s worthy of me or not?”

Fu Yihan sighed and said nothing more.

“Flirting with another woman right in front of me,” Su Ruan’s expression grew even more disgusted, “It’s clear he doesn’t take me, his big sister-in-law, seriously.”

She had checked and knew the identity of that girl.

A foster daughter adopted by the Ying Family.

The Ying Family wasn’t even comparable to the Fu Family, let alone her.

A foster daughter matched with a playboy; what a perfect fit.

When Fu Yihan heard this, he was quite puzzled, “But Xiao Ruan, what does this have to do with you? Yunshen is a man, is he not supposed to have contact with the opposite sex?”

Old Master Fu was indeed hopeful that Fu Yunshen would settle down early, otherwise, he wouldn’t have arranged a marriage for him.

Su Ruan was startled.

Her face felt as if she had been slapped, burning with pain.

“A sister-in-law is like a mother; what’s wrong with me intervening a bit?” Su Ruan’s face turned cold, “The way he is now is all because you all spoiled him.”

Fu Yihan clearly didn’t want to continue this topic, so he said, “The dress and accessories for the banquet in a few days, I’ve already asked someone to send them over from Imperial Capital. I have some matters to discuss with dad, you should rest first.”

Before Su Ruan could say anything, he quickly walked out, as if he were escaping.

Su Ruan yelled furiously, “Fu Yihan!”

The door was closed, and no response came.

Unable to bear the grievance, Su Ruan picked up the phone and called the Su Family.

**

Outside the door.

Fu Yihan let out a sigh of relief.

Before he came back, Su Ruan had been normal.

But after seeing Fu Yunshen, she became stubborn and impossible to persuade.

“Big brother.”

An excited voice arose.

Fu Yihan turned his head and nodded, “Yichen.”

“Big brother, I’ve finally seen you,” Fu Yichen almost broke into tears the moment he saw Fu Yihan, “Big brother, you have no idea what I’ve been through recently.”

He first poured out his grievances about how Fu Yunshen mistreated him and how Madam Fu took him around the country to see neurologists.

However, the more Fu Yihan listened, the deeper his brow furrowed.

After hearing everything, he said coldly, “Fu Yichen, you really need to reflect on yourself, always talking nonsense all day long.”

Fu Yihan stopped listening and turned to go upstairs to the study on the third floor.

Fu Yichen was dumbfounded.

Why was there not a single person who believed him?!

“Dad, Yichen’s hostility towards Yunshen is too much,” Fu Yihan said as he entered the study, shaking his head. “You might as well tell him directly that Yunshen doesn’t have any inheritance rights, so he poses no threat.”

“There’s no need,” Fu Mingcheng set aside the document in his hand, looked up, and sneered. “He may not have inheritance rights, but Old Master Fu is thinking of giving him the Imperial Fragrance House.”

“But that is…” Fu Yihan fell silent for a moment, “But that is what he deserves.”

That incident from the past was really hard to clarify.

“Let’s not talk about him anymore,” Fu Mingcheng waved his hand. “Yihan, come over and take a look at this proposal.”

Wen Tinglan’s IQ was very high, far surpassing the level of a genius.

The college entrance exam was child’s play for him.

Wen Fengmian knew that Wen Tinglan’s scores would certainly not be bad.

But what he hadn’t expected was that, two days before the release of the college entrance exam results, his phone would receive countless calls.

Imperial Capital University, Hua Country University of Technology, Hua Country University of Science and Technology, Shanghai Transportation University…

All of the top 10 universities in Hua Country, ranked within the 985 group of elite universities, had called.

Schools would know the scores before the students, so as soon as they found out that the top science score in Shanghai City’s college entrance exam was perfect, they couldn’t wait.

There had been perfect science scores before, but the schools would never complain of having too many.

The first call was from the Professor of the Department of Physics at Imperial Capital University. “Is this Wen Tinglan’s father? I am a Professor of the Department of Physics at Imperial Capital University. Please, I urge you to absolutely have him apply to our Physics Department!”

There were calls from the Imperial Capital University Department of Mathematics as well, saying essentially the same thing but adding a sentence. “Don’t believe the nonsense from the Physics Department, it’s all lies, join Mathematics, we offer generous bonuses!”

After dozens of calls, even Wen Fengmian was losing patience.

Not to mention, two-thirds of these calls came from Imperial Capital University.

One call per faculty.

When he received another call from the Imperial Capital University School of Information and Communication Engineering, Wen Fengmian asked a question that he was very concerned about. “Is your Imperial Capital University sold loosely – in parts?”

“…”

As the whole city eagerly awaited the release of the college entrance exam scores, Zhong Manhua was also very joyous.

It was because Ying Yuexuan had finished her studies in O Continent and returned home.

The housekeeper opened the door, very respectfully. “Young Miss.”

“Hello, Uncle Butler.” Ying Yuexuan smiled. “I brought you a gift.”

The housekeeper was flattered. “Young Miss, you are too kind.”

“Xiao Xuan, Mom has been waiting for you for a long time. Are you tired from the ten-hour flight?” Zhong Manhua took the luggage from her hands, looking distressed. “You’ve lost weight.”

“Mom, not at all.” Ying Yuexuan took off her sun hat. “I’ve actually gained five pounds.”

She glanced at the hall, puzzled. “Is my sister not here?”

Zhong Manhua instantly lost her smile. “She’s out.”

Could she actually admit that her own daughter had severed ties with her?

Especially in front of a junior.

She couldn’t lose face.

Ying Yuexuan wanted to ask more, but she was genuinely tired and went upstairs to rest.

Looking at the gift on the floor, Zhong Manhua sighed. “Xiao Xuan, this child, is really sensible.”

The housekeeper agreed, smiling. “I didn’t expect the Young Miss to bring gifts for every servant.”

Which other young ladies of wealthy families didn’t think they were above everyone else?

Within minutes, Ying Yuexuan came downstairs from the upper floor, her expression panicked for the first time.

Zhong Manhua was startled. “What happened?”

“Mom, have you seen the pink diamond that Brother gave me?” Ying Yuexuan was anxious. “I put it in the drawer, but now it’s gone, and it’s not anywhere else in the room either.”

“Pink Diamond?” Zhong Manhua remembered, it was the birthday gift Ying Tianlv gave Ying Yuexuan last year. “It’s missing?”

“I can’t find it,” Ying Yuexuan looked disappointed. “Brother is also coming back, what should I do if I’ve lost it?”

“How could it just…” Zhong Manhua’s expression suddenly darkened. “It must have been your sister’s doing, she’s the only one who could have taken it.”

“Mom, what are you talking about?” Ying Yuexuan was slightly shocked and also angry. “My sister couldn’t possibly do such a thing!”

“If not her, then who else?” Zhong Manhua let out a cold laugh. “Your room is next to hers; she could get in anytime she wanted.”

During the year Ying Yuexuan had been away from the Ying family, she also had the servants clean her room, ensuring it was clean and comfortable for her to stay in at any time.

“Mom, you really have too much prejudice against my sister.” Ying Yuexuan frowned. “What reason would she have to do this? Help me ask the servants if it fell somewhere while they were cleaning.”

“No need to ask, how could the servants dare to touch something so precious? Do they not want to work for the Ying family anymore?” Zhong Manhua didn’t think twice. “If you say she had no reason, that’s impossible.”

“You share the same birthday, you got a gift, she didn’t, and it was from your brother, wouldn’t she be jealous?”

Zhong Manhua picked up her phone. “I’ll have her come over right now and return the pink diamond to you, if she doesn’t come, then I’ll call the police.”
