The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot

Chapter 321: 310 Slapping Su Ruan in the Face in Front of Everyone [2 Updates]

“`

Old Madam Ying did not consider it in the slightest.

She truly did not have any fondness for Ying Zijin.

Not only was she unable to help the Ying Family break into the capital, she lacked Ying Yuexuan’s connections and only added to the chaos—what good was she?

Upon learning that Ying Zijin had left the Ying Family, Old Madam Ying was overjoyed and wanted to celebrate jubilantly.

However, her health was not particularly good, so she planned to host a banquet for the wealthy families of Shanghai City and some guests from the capital on March 24 of the following year, during Ying Yuexuan’s coming-of-age ceremony, and to celebrate in a grand manner.

“Distinguished guests?” Ying Yuexuan was perplexed, “What distinguished guests?”

“They will arrive tomorrow.” Old Madam Ying patted her hand, smiling kindly, “Wanwan, now that your aunt is gone, Grandma will pave the way for you.”

“Grandma knows you’ve also made the acquaintance of many nobles over in O continent, but it’s always better at home. In the future, whether our Ying Family can break into the capital or not, we can’t do without your help.”

Ying Yuexuan knew that Old Madam Ying had actually married into the family from the capital.

Old Madam Ying’s maternal family was a mid-sized clan in the capital, somewhat larger than the Su Family’s scale, but definitely stronger than the Ying Family in overall strength.

However, they were at quite a distance from the top-tier circle of the Mu and Nie families.

Old Madam Ying, who was proud and high-spirited, preferred to be a leading figure rather than a follower, which is why she chose to marry into Shanghai City.

Among the Four major noble families, only the Fu Family was acquainted with top-tier major clans like the Mu family; the rest had no connections at all.

Both the Ying and Zhong families were eager to break into that top-tier circle in the capital.

“Grandma, I can’t do it,” Ying Yuexuan said, pursing her lips, “We have to rely on big brother.”

Speaking of Ying Tianlv, Old Madam Ying was also very satisfied: “Indeed, Tianlv is very capable, even stronger than your grandfather. But you are different. Your brother is in business, and you are in scientific research.”

As she spoke, her body suddenly swayed.

Ying Yuexuan’s expression changed, and she hurried to support her: “Grandma.”

“Grandma is fine.” Old Madam Ying waved her hand, “Just a headache, an old problem.”

She stood up with the aid of a cane: “Grandma will go and rest first. Have your mother take you to pick a gown, and make a good impression on the distinguished guests tomorrow.”

She wondered when her illness would be cured.

Old Madam Ying sighed and went upstairs.

After Fu Yunshen had purged the Fu Family, it fell into chaos for a while.

Of Fu Mingcheng’s lineage, only Fu Yihan was left.

Since taking over Fu Corporation, Fu Yihan had been busy with company matters and hadn’t had the time to deal with Su Ruan.

Ever since being thrown out of the Venus headquarters building, Su Ruan had locked herself in her room, almost crying her face off.

Su Lianghui was incredibly anxious when she did not respond all this time.

Finally unable to hold back, he went to the Fu Family.

“I told you to go find Fu Yunshen; why haven’t you?” Su Lianghui saw Su Ruan and couldn’t help getting angry, “Don’t you know your Second Uncle and Fourth Uncle have already started their moves against us?”

The other members of the Su Family had always been wary because he and Fu Mingcheng were relatives by marriage and had the support of the Fu Family.

But now things were different; since Fu Mingcheng had fallen, the others naturally lost no time in trying to bring Su Lianghui down, too.

“I did go!” Su Ruan’s voice was hysterical, “Don’t you know I was thrown out? They’re all laughing at me, do you understand?”

Upon hearing this, Su Lianghui frowned.

He had not expected Fu Yunshen to take such ruthless actions, not sparing Su Ruan any face.

It had been so long since the broken engagement; surely the grudge wouldn’t last until now?

“Then don’t go to the company to find him.” Su Lianghui said, “You have to find a way to see him in person first. Otherwise, we’re really done for.”

Su Ruan gradually calmed down and began to think about how to meet Fu Yunshen.

Su Lianghui remembered what Fu Mingcheng once said, that leveraging online public opinion could maximize benefits.

He pondered deeply for a long time, finally making up his mind.

With nothing left to lose, he might as well make a desperate effort. There was a chance of turning the situation around.

It couldn’t be worse than the current outcome.

Su Lianghui no longer paid attention to Su Ruan and left in a hurry.

He had more important things to do; depending solely on Su Ruan was useless.

The next day.

Verdant Middle School.

Class 19.

Ying Zijin leaned against the window, her phoenix eyes half-closed as she took a nap.

“Daddy Ying.”

Someone called out to her.

She turned her head.

It was Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran grumbled for a while before reluctantly raising his head from the desk, “My mom wants to see you, are you free?”

He had thought his mother had a change of heart, actually willing to drag him out of the blacklist.

It turned out that he was just a tool.

Ying Zijin nodded: “Yes.”

“`

“She’s just outside the school gate,” Jiang Ran said irritably, shaking his head, “Daddy Ying, when you see her, remember to tell her I don’t miss her at all, not one bit. Tell her not to think about comforting me, I won’t forgive her.”

“…”

Typical adolescent silliness.

Just like Xize Lorentz back in the day.

Ying Zijin stood up and left the house.

She checked the address Jiang Ran sent her and headed towards the school gate.

Outside the school gate.

Su Ruan, who had been waiting a long time, changed her expression when she saw the girl in the school uniform coming out and immediately stepped forward to block her way.

“I know you’re close with Fu Yunshen,” Su Ruan had only this idea in mind, “I want to meet Fu Yunshen. You know about our past, right?”

Ying Zijin was beautiful, but she didn’t think Fu Yunshen would actually be interested in a high school girl.

It was just a fling, wasn’t it?

Ying Zijin stopped.

Su Ruan raised her chin, “I’ll give you three minutes to be smart and lure him out for me, or else, don’t blame me for spreading the news about you hooking up with him until everyone knows.”

Ying Zijin turned her head, her fingers clenched and tested her strength.

But she hadn’t struck yet.

A cheerful voice came along, “Being smart? You sure carry quite the air of importance.”

Su Ruan was startled and turned around.

In the cool breeze, the woman was still wearing a cyan cheongsam, covered with a coat, obviously just having come from indoors.

Su Ruan had never seen Jiang Huaping, but she had seen her pictures.

Such a radiant face was naturally recognizable to Su Ruan.

Jiang Huaping was in her forties but looked younger than her.

“What does this have to do with you?” Su Ruan asked impatiently, “I wasn’t talking to you.”

“Indeed, it doesn’t concern me,” Jiang Huaping raised her hand and slapped Su Ruan across the face, “but I just felt like hitting you.”

Su Ruan covered her face in disbelief, “Jiang Huaping, you…”

Before she could finish her sentence, another slap landed on her left cheek.

Jiang Huaping commented coolly, “Calling an elder by her name, how rude.”

And it wasn’t over yet.

She raised her hand a third time.

Another “smack” echoed, making Su Ruan stagger.

Jiang Huaping said cheerfully, “Making me upset causes wrinkles, you deserved it.”

Su Ruan had never encountered someone as domineering and unreasonable as Jiang Huaping, “You, you’re simply…”

“I’m different from Liuying, I’m no socialite, perhaps you don’t know how they used to call me spiteful,” Jiang Huaping smiled faintly, “I hit disgusting people whenever I see them, without mercy.”

Her gaze turned cold, “So remember to avoid me in the future, and don’t let me see you bullying young girls. I can’t stand that.”

Jiang Huaping lived in the capital and only occasionally returned to Shanghai City.

But because of Fu Liuying, photos of Jiang Huaping had been dug up, and more people knew who she was.

The two beauties of Shanghai City, they were truly breathtaking.

Having suffered continuous humiliations and now publicly slapped by an elder, Su Ruan truly collapsed.

She fled in disarray once again.

“Are you okay?” Jiang Huaping asked with concern, giving the girl a once-over, “Don’t be polite when dealing with a lunatic like her.”

“Look at me, I got so angry I forgot,” Jiang Huaping tapped her forehead before Ying Zijin could speak, and exhaled sharply, “You can even beat up that stinky boy, dealing with her is naturally easy for you.”

Ying Zijin fell silent for a moment, “Mm, I was just about to start gathering strength.”

Otherwise, one kick from her could easily end a life.

She was a law-abiding citizen.

“Let’s not talk about her,” Jiang Huaping waved her hand, smiled again and took her hand, “Come on, I’ve booked a table. Let’s go eat something.”

The two went to a hotpot restaurant next to Verdant Middle School.

Jiang Huaping sat down, sighing lightly, “I didn’t expect so much to happen in just half a month.”

Shanghai City could be said to have turned upside down.

The Fu Family hadn’t fallen, but it was almost like a change of dynasty.

“I came to talk to you about Liuying,” Jiang Huaping reined in her smile, “Since Yunshen has decided to let go, it’s fine to talk about the past now.”

Ying Zijin’s gaze paused slightly, “Please speak.”

Jiang Huaping was about to speak when her phone pinged.

She glanced at it, saw it was a Weibo notification and wasn’t going to bother with it, but then she saw Fu Yunshen’s name.

“Hold on,” she unlocked her phone, and as she read, she understood, “Tsk, the shameless sure are busy. Blame me, I shouldn’t have hit her face. Her face was already big, now that I’ve hit it, isn’t it even bigger?”

Ying Zijin raised her eyebrows and looked over as well.

It was a post from a marketing Weibo account.

[@818 Outsider’s Affairs V: #WealthyFamilySensationalScandal#, an informant reveals that the young new president of Venus Group in the Asia-Pacific Region has a White Moonlight in his heart, but this White Moonlight is his own sister-in-law. Is this a case of unrequited love?]
