Chapter 42: 040 Daddy Ying, I’ve got your back
Class 19 is universally recognized as the dumping ground for rejects, looked down upon not only by the Elite and International Classes but also by the regular classes.
Zhong Zhiwan knew that Xiu Yu was nothing more than a bad girl who hung around nightclubs and racetracks, but she was clear on the fact that Jiang Ran was no simple character.
This was something she had heard by chance from Old Master Zhong—
Jiang Ran had ties with a major clan in the capital.
Even if it wasn’t on the level of the Mu family, it wasn’t a force that the four major noble families of Shanghai City could afford to offend.
And now, with Ying Zijin having hit Jiang Ran, what would the consequences be, did she even need to think about it?
Zhong Zhiwan twirled the headphone cord around her finger, “Auntie, at noon, I saw Jiang Ran leaving the school on a motorcycle. He didn’t go back to…”
“Auntie knows,” Zhong Manhua replied, restraining her shock and anger. “You’ve really troubled yourself, Wanwan.”
“It’s nothing, Auntie,” Zhong Zhiwan said. “Grandpa asked me to look after my cousin at school, so I can’t go against his wishes.”
She casually added, “But Auntie, I think it’s better not to let Grandpa know about this. Family affairs are already troubling enough for him.”
Zhong Manhua felt the same, “You’re so thoughtful, Wanwan. You focus on your studies, and Auntie will handle this.”
She hung up the phone, chest heaving violently, hardly able to contain her fury.
School had only just started, and Ying Zijin had already caused her a string of troubles.
Moving classes on her own initiative was one thing, but now she’s even hitting people?
And the person she hit was Jiang Ran?
The butler had heard too, surprised, “Madam, is Jiang Ran from the capital…”
“Exactly,” Zhong Manhua replied, utterly annoyed. “His identity was deliberately hidden by that side, even I only knew he took his mother’s surname.”
Jiang Ran’s mother was from the Jiang family of Shanghai City.
Thinking it over, Jiang Ran should also call Jiang Moyuan uncle.
After a moment’s consideration, the butler said, “Madam, with Second Miss having hit Master Jiang Ran, leaving aside the capital, the Jiang family won’t let it go either.”
If this wasn’t handled properly, the Ying family’s shares were bound to be shaken, costing them hundreds of millions in losses.
“I knew it would be me cleaning up her mess,” Zhong Manhua sneered. “Go issue a check first. I’ll take her to the Jiang family to apologize myself.”
The butler understood, “How much does Madam think is appropriate?”
“Five million will do, and also bring along that jade stone Old Master bought at the auction the other day.”
As Zhong Manhua thought about spending so much to apologize to the Jiang family on behalf of Ying Zijin, the guilt that had reluctantly risen in her heart dissipated once again.
The butler nodded and went off to make the arrangements.

Elsewhere.
Xiu Yu was still happily imparting makeup tips to Ying Zijin, sitting cross-legged on a table: “Let me recommend some makeup products for the average person.”
Ying Zijin listened earnestly, specifically taking out a notebook to take notes.
Midway through, Xiu Yu suddenly stopped, “You haven’t come into contact with any of this before, have you?”
Ying Zijin hummed in acknowledgment.
Used to a life of luxury, Xiu Yu felt a bit sorry for the beautiful girl she thought was living such a miserable life.
