Fireworks bloomed outside the window, and the light scattered, reflecting his handsome features.

His mirthful eyes were soulful and charming.

Ying Zijin stared at him for a long time before slowly taking out a tissue from her pocket and handing it over. “…Sorry.”

Fu Yunshen didn’t take it.

“It’s fine.” He bent down and patted the girl’s head like last time. His movements were gentle, as if he was teasing a kitten. His lips curled into a smile as he said, “I don’t mind.”

The little kid was quite docile.

Ying Zijin, on the other hand, was lost in thought.

A slender hand waved in front of her eyes and tapped her forehead lightly.

Above her head, a chuckle sounded.

“What are you thinking about?”

“Nothing.” After Ying Zijin came back to her senses, she rolled up her sleeves and poured the flour into a bowl, then added some water.

She just thought of what to give Fu Yunshen.

A cat or a dog could satisfy his hobby of head patting.

Otherwise, if this continued, she might really go bald.

After that, the two of them didn’t chat anymore. One boiled water and the other cut vegetables.

In the living room, Wen Fengmian was chatting happily with Wen Tinglan.

Ying Zijin’s gaze focused on them.

She didn’t have many memories of when she was young. Ever since she could remember things, she had been living in the Wen family’s home.

Wen Fengmian had to take care of the two children, so he was extremely busy.

When Wen Tinglan was five years old, she suffered a huge trauma, which made things worse for the Wen family.

While she was in school, she would also go out to find some odd jobs during free time. However, the family of three could barely fill their stomachs.

It was no wonder that when the Ying family came to look for her, Wen Fengmian persuaded her to leave because the Ying family could give her better resources.

But from the beginning to the end, Wen Fengmian had never thought about himself.

Ying Zijin narrowed her eyes.

She would protect them.

Two days later.

The weather was getting warmer and the sun was shining brightly. The temperature had already climbed to 20 degrees Celsius, as if the snow a few days ago was just an illusion.

The girl was dressed in a black hoodie. She had one hand in her pocket and a cone in the other.

The young man behind her was still holding two cups of milk tea and was obviously a little helpless. “Sister, since when did you start to like sweets?”

Ying Zijin finished the ice cream in a few bites. “Life is too tough, so I might as well eat something sweet.”

The food in the 21st century wasn’t bad. She finally had something fun to look forward to.

Wen Tinglan misunderstood this sentence. He was silent for a moment before asking in a low voice, “Sister, you’re not staying with us?”

“Not for the time being.” Ying Zijin nodded and said, “I still have something to settle. You guys can just stay here in peace.”

After dinner that day, she told Wen Fengmian about the matter of bringing them to Hucheng. At first, he didn’t agree because he was afraid of causing trouble for her. Later on, he agreed.

She used four million yuan to buy an 80-square-meter apartment in the Central Outer Ring, bought some furniture, and settled Wen Fengmian down.

After Wen Fengmian came to Hucheng, Wen Tinglan decided to transfer to Qingzhi.

He had received Qingzhi’s invitation a long time ago, but he had never accepted it.

As for the Ying family…

Ying Zijin narrowed her eyes.

Her divination ability had not recovered, but in terms of divination, there was still a cause and effect.

The karma between her and the Ying family hadn’t been completely severed, so she couldn’t leave for the time being.

Moreover, when she was observing the future, she discovered something very important.

It was related to the Ying family, but it was very vague.

In the Ying family’s home, it would be easier for her to investigate.

Wen Tinglan frowned as he said, “But those people…”

It was hard for him to imagine how much his sister had suffered in the Ying family’s home. Now, she even needed to eat sweet food to relieve her stress.

“Don’t worry.” Ying Zijin said nonchalantly, “It’s just a small matter of getting beaten up.”

She had always been too lazy to talk about things if she could just fight it out. Talking was much more tiring than fighting.

Wen Tinglan was speechless.

He didn’t believe it at first.

However, just yesterday, he had personally witnessed his sister kick someone who wanted to flirt with her to the ground. Furthermore, the person couldn’t even get up.

The young man lowered his eyes and clenched his fists.

The Ying family would definitely suffer retribution.

“Let’s go.” The girl bit her straw and drank her milk tea as she said, “I’ll send you back.”

The Ying family’s home.

The butler frowned as he watched a few servants carrying a few boxes in from outside the door and asked, “What are these?”

One of the servants wiped his sweat as he said, “They’re packages for Second Miss.”

“Packages for Second Miss?” The butler’s frown deepened. “What hasn’t Madam prepared for her? What else does she need to buy?”

She only knew how to cause trouble all day long.

“Just put them in the courtyard,” the butler instructed. “Madam is entertaining guests. She can’t be disturbed.”

After the servants put down the box, the butler went forward and was about to disassemble it when he inadvertently saw a flowery word printed on the box—

Star

It was golden and very light.

The butler froze. Then, he moved closer to take a closer look when footsteps sounded beside him.

In an instant, a sense of coldness spread, making him shiver.

When she looked up, she froze.

The girl just stared at him with an indifferent gaze.

“Second Miss…” The butler hurriedly retreated and didn’t dare to be disrespectful. “The… the things you bought have arrived.”

His legs went soft. Unable to withstand the pressure, he fell to his knees with a plop. He didn’t even dare to raise his head as he said, “I-I’m sorry. Without your permission…”

Ying Zijin ignored him and squatted down. Then, without using scissors, she tore open the package with her hands.

Fu Yunshen left the next day. Before he left, he said that he would buy some books for her and send them to the Ying family’s home.

It seemed that this was the case.

Before opening it, Ying Zijin was quite interested.

After opening it, she saw a box of children’s books.

As if he had calculated that he would receive the package at this time, her WeChat dinged.

[Little kid, did you get it?]

Before she could reply, another message came from the other end.

[I chose these books carefully for you. They’re from all over the world. They’re enough for you to watch for a long time.]

Ying Zijin pressed her head.

Who would want to read children’s books?

She typed a few words with an impassive expression.

[Thank you.]

The reply was very fast.

[You’re welcome. Remember to treat me to a few more meals.]

Ying Zijin didn’t want to reply. She wanted to throw this box of children’s books at him.

The servants stood at the side and waited. When they saw the contents of the box, their expressions were disdainful.

This adopted Second Miss was indeed incomparable to Eldest Miss. It could be seen from the books she read.

When Eldest Miss was in her first year of high school, she could already read foreign books in their original text. She wasn’t like Second Miss, who was still reading fairy tales at her age.

Fair enough, since she came from a small place. She probably didn’t know as many foreign vocabulary as they did.

Ying Zijin closed the box and planned to read the books at bedtime to calm herself down.

She didn’t ask anyone to help her. She carried the books in all by herself.

“Second Miss, you can’t go in now.” Seeing this, the butler hurriedly stopped her. “Madam is…”

Before she could finish, the door opened.

On the sofa in the living room, Zhong Manhua was smiling while talking to a guest. She looked very happy.

The sound of the door opening interrupted what she was about to say.

Zhong Manhua frowned. When she looked over, the smile on her face instantly disappeared. “Why are you back at this time?”
