She still didn’t know her place?

The butler was even more annoyed and said, “Second Miss Ying, you really can’t win Madam’s favor with your appearance. I think you should…”

But he couldn’t finish his sentence.

After Ying Zijin stopped and looked at him, suddenly, she raised her leg and kicked him.

Caught off guard, the butler fell to the ground with a thud.

One of his hands was stepped on, and it was so painful that he couldn’t help but howl.

“Pfft.”

At this moment, laughter suddenly sounded. It sounded a little flippant, but if one listened carefully, it would realize how cold the laughter was.

“I wouldn’t have known if I hadn’t come back. Now, even the servants of the Ying family dare to order the masters around. Is this how Madam Ying disciplines the servants?”

The tall and slender man was wearing an unbuttoned black shirt and his porcelain skin looked even paler in the snow.

Standing under the tree, he was a scenery of its own. No matter how beautiful the snowy moonlight scenery was, it paled in comparison to him.

After Ying Zijin retracted her leg and raised her head, her gaze paused slightly. “You haven’t left?”

“Fortunately, I didn’t leave.” Fu Yunshen had one hand in his pocket and the corners of his lips curled up as he said, “If I had left, you would have been bullied again.”

A gentle breeze blew past his clothes, revealing a small piece of his collarbone and emitting a faint refreshing fragrance.

Levelheaded and gentle, he gave off a bewitching charm.

Ying Zijin was silent for a moment before replying, “I can’t be bothered.”

She didn’t like to talk. Instead of wasting her breath, she might as well attack directly.

“Yes, I know.” Fu Yunshen patted her head as he said, “That’s why I’ll deal with it. You can just watch from the side.”

He turned his head and raised his chin with a smiled as he asked, “Who are you asking to apologize?”

The butler was already dumbfounded. At this moment, he held his breath with a flushed face and his legs were trembling.

Of course, he recognized this man who had appeared here—

He was the seventh young master of the Fu family, Fu Yunshen.

He was the most profligate young master in Hucheng and was a good-for-nothing.

It was said that Fu Yunshen had been too indulgent and provoked the heir of a family in the capital, so he was sent to Continent O overnight by the Fu family.

Why did he suddenly come back?

And for some reason, he was so protective of Second Miss Ying.

Was he crazy?

“I’m sorry, Second Miss Ying.” The butler couldn’t withstand the pressure and suddenly raised his hand to slap himself. Then, he said with a quivering voice, “I shouldn’t have been disrespectful to you. It’s all my fault.”

Fu Yunshen ignored her. “Let’s go, kid. I’ll send you in personally this time.”

The butler didn’t dare to stop him. “Seventh Young Master, Second Miss, this way please.”

At the same time, he heaved a sigh of relief. At least the Madam wouldn’t blame him now.

After the door opened, the cold air swept in and a layer of frost fell on the luxurious carpet.

On the first floor of the old residence, the living room was very warm.

A noble lady was sitting on the sofa while flipping through a book. Her posture was elegant, and her every move exuded the grace of someone from a prestigious family.

This was Madam Ying, Zhong Manhua. She came from the Zhong family, one of the four great clans.

Zhong Manhua heard the footsteps but didn’t raise her head. Instead, she asked indifferently, “Second Miss has admitted her mistake?”

The soundproofing of the old residence was very good, so no one inside could hear what was going on outside.

The butler held his breath as he whispered, “Madam.”

“Huh?” Zhong Manhua looked up with a frown. “If she didn’t admit her mistake why did you…”

When she saw the man, she stopped talking.

Zhong Manhua froze and it took her a few seconds to react.

She put down the book in her hand and stood up to welcome him. As if she didn’t see the girl, she smiled and said, “So it’s Seventh Young Master. I heard from your father yesterday that you came back from Continent O. Is there anything important for you to come to the Ying family’s home so late at night?”

The Fu family was the head of the four noble families. Even if Fu Yunshen had left Hucheng for three years, as long as Old Master Fu was still around, the Ying family couldn’t afford to offend him.

“I sent the little kid home.” Fu Yunshen’s expression was calm as he said, “I was worried that she would be bullied.”

Zhong Manhua’s smile froze. Obviously, she didn’t expect such an answer. Then, her gaze landed on the girl and she asked, “What happened?”

The butler quickly recounted what had happened.

When she heard that, Zhong Manhua frowned again and took a deep breath before she said with a smile:, “Seventh Young Master, this is all a misunderstanding. Sorry for troubling you to make this trip. Zijin is also my daughter, how can I bear to see her suffer?”

“Is that so?” Fu Yunshen chuckled and said aloofly, “That’s good. I’m relieved. If you treat your adopted daughter so well, such compassion will improve your reputation.”

Zhong Manhua’s expression was a little ugly.

Fu Yunshen was clearly mocking her.

“It’s just that this servant…” After Fu Yunshen glanced at him, he chuckled and said, “He’s a little bold.”

The butler’s legs went weak.

Zhong Manhua’s expression was tense, but she didn’t say anything.

“But I’m an outsider, so it’s not appropriate for me to teach a servant a lesson for Madam Ying.” With that, Fu Yunshen ignored her. Instead, he turned his head and waved his phone at the girl with a smile and said, “Little kid, I’ve saved your phone number. You can contact me at anytime.”

After the door was closed again, the room was dead silent.

The butler heaved a sigh of relief and kept wiping his sweat.

“Where did you go?” Zhong Manhua suppressed her anger and didn’t lose her temper immediately after Fu Yunshen left. “Luwei said that you left the hospital three hours ago. What did you go do?”

Why did she run out alone on a snowy day? When could she give her a break and not let her worry for once?

She even brought someone back to anger her. How outrageous.

Ying Zijin didn’t respond. She just yawned.

Other than feeling hungry, she would even feel sleepy now.

Now that she was a normal person again, she wanted to experience it properly.

Zhong Manhua said coldly, “I’m asking you a question. Why are you so rude?”

Ying Zijin raised her eyes and said indifferently, “Why do you care so much about a blood bank?”

Zhong Manhua could hardly believe her ears. Her mind went blank for a moment, then her body suddenly trembled. “What did you say?”

The butler also looked over in shock, his face filled with disbelief.

The fact that the Ying family had taken in an adopted daughter as Ying Luwei’s blood bank wasn’t a secret among the four great clans. Everyone in the upper-class circle knew about it.

However, no one cared about this matter because it wasn’t important. Occasionally, they would gossip about it, and the Ying family didn’t feel that anything was wrong about it.

However, when this ugly truth was revealed, Zhong Manhua felt exposed. As if a thorn was stabbing her back, the blood in her body went cold. Even her hands and feet were cold.

Zhong Manhua was from a noble family after all, so she quickly calmed down and her expression softened a little. However, she still said in a commanding tone, “What’s wrong with you? I’ve run the bath for you, so go take a bath first. I have something to tell you later.”

The girl yawned again, then ignored her and went upstairs.

Zhong Manhua’s face was ashen as she slammed the teacup on the table.

The butler lowered his head without daring to speak.

“What sort of attitude was that? What on earth was she saying?” Zhong Manhua was so angry that her chest ached and she felt aggrieved. “Does she think I want her blood to be drawn? How can my heart not ache for my own child?”
