Chapter 9: 007 Miss Ying
Editor: Henyee Translations
Ying Luwei was her sister-in-law, could she just stand by and do nothing?
Hadn’t she hired a convalescent therapist and cooked personally?
Why couldn’t her own daughter understand her a bit more, instead of hurting her feelings in return?
“Madam, please calm down,” the butler said cautiously, trying to soothe her. “Maybe the Second Miss is just going through a rebellious phase.”
“Rebellious phase?” Zhong Manhua laughed in exasperation. “When has she ever cared about what I want? She’s so thoughtless. Now, she doesn’t even bother to pay attention to me. Does she not want to acknowledge me anymore?”
Mentioning this just infuriated her further.
She had been taught for so long, yet she couldn’t learn piano, couldn’t write properly, and even spoke English haltingly. She didn’t resemble a daughter of wealth and nobility at all.
Zhong Manhua became angrier the more she thought about it. “When Moyuan brought her back a year ago, I thought she was quite well-behaved. Who knew she could do such a thing?”
The Ying Family’s reputation was completely ruined!
And now she had run off to entangle herself with Fu Yunshen.
Who was Fu Yunshen?
A well-known philandering son of Shanghai City, good for nothing but for his looks.
In the end, she’d get sold out and even pay the person for it.
The butler didn’t know what to say and could only remind her, “Madam, it’s half past ten, and the Eldest Miss is still waiting for your call.”
Looking at Zhong Manhua, both heartbroken and fuming, he shook his head and sighed.
The Eldest Miss of the Ying Family was not actually Madam Ying’s biological daughter; she was adopted.
But the adopted child was even more considerate than her own flesh and blood.
Fortunately, the Old Master’s Wife was sensible and proclaimed the Second Miss was just a foster daughter to the outside world. Otherwise, if the other Three Great Wealthy Families knew the truth, who knows how they’d mock them.
Having served the Ying Family for over twenty years and attended to both Old Master Ying and Old Madam Ying, the butler was also somewhat aware of the past events.
Fifteen years ago, the Ying Family was involved in a major business negotiation that reached the capital. The entire company was busy to the point of sleepless nights. Fortunately, they secured the deal in the end.
The day they signed the deal, Ying Zhenting and Zhong Manhua went out to entertain guests. But when they returned in the evening, they discovered their baby was missing from the crib. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Without any clue, it was as if the child had vanished into thin air.
The butler was utterly baffled. He had only gone to the kitchen for a moment, just a few minutes. How could such a thing have happened?
The infant wasn’t even a year old and couldn’t have possibly wandered off on her own.
The Ying Family mobilized many people to search, but they found nothing.
Zhong Manhua collapsed; she was nearly driven mad. During that time, her mind was in a haze, and whenever she saw another baby on the street, she would rush over and hold them, weeping.
Ying Zhenting couldn’t bear to see his wife so distressed and decided to adopt another child.
This child had to resemble their lost daughter closely. An infant under one year wouldn’t remember anything and couldn’t tell any difference if they weren’t raised day by day.
Months later, Zhong Manhua’s mental state finally stabilized. When she learned of Ying Zhenting’s actions, she didn’t blame or resent him.
Her maternal love shifted to the adopted child during this time. She looked after her every day, growing fonder and fonder.
Of course, Ying Zhenting continued to send people to look for their lost infant in secret, but after two years without success, they eventually gave up.
