Chapter 9: The Ying Family’s Eldest Daughter

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ying Luwei was her sister-in-law. How could she leave her in the lurch?

Didn’t she hire a healer and cook for her?

Why couldn’t her biological daughter understand her a little more instead of hurting her feelings instead?

“Madam, calm down.” After the butler deliberated for a moment, he comforted her. “Second Miss might be in her rebellious stage.”

“Rebellious phase?” Zhong Manhua was so angry that she laughed. “When has she ever listened to me? She’s not sensible at all. Now, she’s even ignoring me. Does she not want to acknowledge me anymore?”

At the mention of this, she got angry.

After being taught for so long, she still couldn’t learn piano or speak a foreign language properly. She didn’t seem like a socialite at all.

The more Zhong Manhua thought about it, the angrier she became. “When Moyuan brought her back a year ago, I saw that she was very obedient. Who knew that she would do such a thing?”

The Ying family had lost all their dignity!

Now, she even tried to seduce Fu Yunshen.

Who was Fu Yunshen?

He was a well-known playboy in Hucheng who had nothing going for him but a handsome face.

If she was played for a fool, she wouldn’t even know it.

The butler didn’t know what to say and could only remind her, “Madam, it’s already half past ten. Eldest Miss is still waiting for your call.”

Looking at Zhong Manhua, who was both sad and angry, he shook his head and sighed.

The eldest daughter of the Ying family wasn’t Mrs. Ying’s biological daughter. She was adopted.

However, her adopted child was more considerate than her biological child.

Fortunately, Old Master and Madam were sensible and announced to the public that Second Miss was just an adopted daughter. Otherwise, if the other three noble families knew the truth, who knew how they would mock them?

He had stayed in the Ying family for more than twenty years and had served Old Master Ying and Old Madam Ying, so he knew a little about what had happened back then.

Fifteen years ago, the Ying family had a huge business deal that affected the Imperial Capital. Everyone in the company was so busy that they didn’t sleep for a few days and nights. Fortunately, they still signed this contract in the end.

On the day of the contract signing, Ying Zhenting and Zhong Manhua went out for a business engagement together. When they returned at night, they found that the baby in the cradle was missing.

There were no traces at all, as if she had disappeared into thin air.

The butler was also puzzled. He had only gone to the kitchen for a few minutes. How could such a thing happen?

The baby wasn’t even one year old yet, so she couldn’t have run out on her own.

The Ying family had mobilized many people to look for the baby, but they couldn’t find her.

Zhong Manhua broke down and almost went crazy. During that period of time, she was very hysterical. Whenever she saw other babies on the streets, she would rush over to hug them in tears.

Ying Zhenting couldn’t bear to see his wife like this, so he could only think of a way to adopt a child.

This child was very similar to the youngest daughter they had lost. The baby was less than a year old, so outsiders wouldn’t be able to tell.

After a few months, Zhong Manhua’s mental state finally stabilized. When she found out about Ying Zhenting’s actions later on, she didn’t blame him.

Her maternal love had also shifted to this adopted child during this period of time. She took good care of her every day, and the more she looked at her, the more she liked the child.

Of course, Ying Zhenting was still secretly sending people to search for the missing baby. However, after searching for two years but failing to find her, he gave up as time passed.

Noble families didn’t lack descendants, since they had a lot of illegitimate children.

Ying Zhenting warned insiders not to reveal a word of this matter.

After all, the Ying family was one of the four noble families in Hucheng, so every move they made was extremely important. If such a scandal was publicized, there would be an uproar.

Therefore, other than the butler and a few others, even the eldest young master of the Ying family didn’t know that his biological sister was missing.

After more than ten years, everyone gradually forgot about this matter.

The butler also knew what Zhong Manhua was worried about. On the surface, her family was harmonious and she had a pair of outstanding children. She was an elegant noblewoman who everyone envied.

In the end, her real daughter was suddenly found. This was originally worth celebrating, but this real daughter came from the countryside and didn’t know proper etiquette. She was also incompetent and did embarrassing things frequently. She was really unworthy of being the eldest daughter of the Ying family.

However, the Ying family’s bloodline couldn’t be allowed to wander outside. Even if she was a stain, they still adopted her in the end.

Neither Ying Zhenting nor Zhong Manhua felt that there was anything wrong about it. After all, the Second Miss Ying was inferior to the Eldest Miss Ying in every aspect.

The Ying family of Hucheng wasn’t what a small county could compare to. It was the Second Miss Ying’s blessing to be able to step into the upper-class society. She should not be too greedy.

“I forgot such an important thing.” Zhong Manhua rubbed her temples and picked up her phone to make a call. When she heard the voice on the other end, she immediately smiled. “Hello, it’s me. How was your day?”

“Good. That’s good. You can study in Continent O in peace. If you need anything, tell me. I don’t mind the trouble…”

In the room.

As Ying Zijin glanced at the old desktop computer on the table, her fingers tapped on the keyboard a few times, then the screen froze. “Tsk…”

Although she had never come into contact with a computer before, she knew that this was a bad product.

She stopped looking at the computer and lowered her head. After she took out a bank card from the wallet in the drawer, she did some calculations.

562 dollars and 80 cents.

It was only a little, but it was just enough.

Ying Zijin narrowed her eyes. With a push of her hand, she jumped down from the nine-meter-tall third floor. Then, she landed on the ground lightly and left the Ying family’s old residence from the right.

The butler, who was closing the window, caught a glimpse of the girl, but when he looked again, he couldn’t see anyone.

The butler rubbed his eyes and muttered to himself dubiously, “Maybe I’m seeing things.”

As expected, his eyes were playing tricks on him. He actually thought that Second Miss had sneaked out.

The butler shook his head. After closing the door and windows, he went to the kitchen to prepare warm milk for Zhong Manhua before she went to bed.

Because of Fu Yunshen’s interruption, Nie Chao didn’t say the exact address of the underground market.

However, to Ying Zijin, as long as she obtained the name of a place, she would be able to divine it.

She looked at the crooked letters hanging at the door—HERMIT. Her gaze froze for a moment before she put on her mask and walked in.

The underground market was even more chaotic than Hucheng at night. There were disco lights, alcohol, and strippers.

This was a place that even the four noble families couldn’t control and the people who entered would more or less hide their identities.

The girl’s entrance didn’t attract anyone’s attention, but an interested gaze landed on her from behind.

In the Starry Sky Bar, the bartender behind the counter noticed the man’s abnormality and looked up. “What are you looking at?”

“Nothing.” Fu Yunshen curled his lips as he fiddled with the wine spoon with his slender and fair fingers. Then, he turned his head and said with a smile, “I saw a disobedient child who ran out of the house so late at night.”
