Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Are you a decoration?
Are You A Decoration?
"..."
As soon as these words came out, the whole living room became silent.
Mrs. Zhong, who was in the kitchen, leaned forward and hurriedly reprimanded her before Zhong Laoye* can even speak: "Wanwan, don't talk nonsense."
She turned to Zhong Manhua and said: "Wanwan was just talking nonsense. What expulsion, don't care about what she just said."
Zhong Manhua reluctantly smiled: "What is Sansao* saying. Wanwan is a clever child.
But her heart was jumping nonstop.
At that time, because Mrs. Mu was there, she didn't ask carefully about the situation and only knew that Ying Zijin beat someone.
She didn't receive a call later, so she forgot.
If Ying Zijin was really expelled, where would she put her face?
Zhong Laoye didn't say anything. He put on his reading glasses, picked up his mobile phone, and slowly said: "I'll call Qingzhi there."
"Dad, don't worry about it." Zhong Manhua who didn't want to lose face, squeezed her voice while saying, "Let me do it."
"You think I don't know that you have a strong temper?" Zhong Laoye waved his hand, "If it's you who called, I'm afraid you will scold the child first."
Zhong Manhua was ashamed and angry: "Dad, what are you talking about?"
Zhong Laoye ignored her and called the head teacher of the elite class from the address book.
The call was soon connected.
"Wei*, hello teacher, I am Zijin's grandfather. I want to ask about Zijin today..."
Listening to the conversation between Zhong Laoye and Teacher Xu, Zhong Zhiwan squeezed the cup tightly.
As for the thing that Ying Zijin did this morning, no one took care of it so she was sure Ying Zijin will be expelled.
Even if Zhong Laoye intervenes now, it would be too late.
She really couldn't understand why her grandfather was so kind to an adopted daughter. Even those illegitimate children of the Zhong Family, who have great achievements, couldn't make Zhong Laoye treat them softer.
How can an adopted daughter who knows nothing do it?
"What?!" When Zhong Laoye was talking, his face suddenly changed, "Okay, I understand, thank you teacher."
Zhong Manhua was restless, and very anxious.
After waiting for Zhong Laoye to hang up, she finally said: "Dad, I didn't teach her well. Don't worry, I will go back..."
Zhong Laoye directly interrupted her: "What did you do this morning?"
Zhong Manhua was taken aback: "Mrs. Mu and I were drinking morning tea in the old mansion, and discussing things. Dad, why are you asking about..."
"You have time to drink tea, but don't have time to go to school?" Zhong Laoye immediately became furious, "Do you know how wronged Zijin was at school? You didn't even ask what happened and just thought it was her fault? You didn't want to go because you feel embarrassed?"
"If it wasn't for the boy from the Fu family to come forward, Zijin would really be expelled! Are you a mother or are you just a decoration? Ah?!"
"Your old man has a vase which is more useful than you!"
Zhong Manhua was scolded, making her face flushed red.
Zhong Zhiwan was slightly surprised.
Ying Zijin was not expelled?
Or did Fu Yunshen help her?
Zhong Zhiwan pursed her lips, feeling a little bad.
"You don't even believe your own daughter, can you still be called a mother?" Zhong Laoye was very angry, "In a while, your daughter will come, apologize to her."
Zhong Manhua suddenly raised her head: "Dad!"
Zhong Laoye did not look at her at her anymore. He turned around and press another number.

When Ying Zijin received the call, she just finished a new round of physical therapy for Wen Fengmian.
She glanced at the caller's name, picked it up, and answered in a soft tone: "Hello, I'm fine tonight, okay, I'll go back to see you later."
"What's wrong?" Wen Fengmian was worried, "Is it from Ying's house?"
"No." Ying Zijin pressed his shoulder, "I'll be back tomorrow. Dad, remember to take medicine on time."
"Yaoyao, don't be too tired." Wen Fengmian wants to say something but stopped, "Dad is still young so don't buy anymore medicine. Take care of yourself more, and treat yourself some good food."
Parents always think about their children.
"You don't have to worry." Ying Zijin peeled off a piece of chocolate, "I won't wrong myself with food."
It's true that she is short of money.
You can earn more if you are out of money, and the food can't be missed.
"You should still pay attention." Wen Fengmian sent her out, instructing. "Protect yourself. Don't have conflicts with your classmates in school, and you can help others with their study, but don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Ying Zijin gave a hum, waved her hand lazily, put her schoolbag on her back and left.
Forty minutes later, she came to Zhong's old residence.
The location of the four giants' old residences happened to occupy the four directions of Shanghai city, and it was pretty far to go to their doors.
"Wān*...Zijin, come here." When he finally saw her, Zhong Laoye was very happy and waved to the girl, "Let Grandpa see if you lost weight recently."
Ying Zijin's steps paused before walking over: "Grandpa."
"You became thinner." Zhong Laoye touched his chin, looking grudgingly satisfied, "But you are becoming more beautiful. Very good, very good, Grandpa will buy you some clothes. It's not good to wear black all the time."
Ying Zijin responded one by one.
"Sit, sit, sit." Zhong Laoye patted the position beside him, "Today we'll have a stewed black chicken soup*, it's a good supplement."
With Zhong Laoye's permission, the servants served the meal and everyone else took their seats.
Zhong Zhiwan pinched her chopsticks, having no appetite while feeling stuffy in her heart.
Zhong Laoye gave Zhong Manhua a faint glance, trying not to be angry.
Zhong Manhua endured it, bit the bullet and apologized.
However, the girl didn't even give her a look, as if she hadn't heard her, and was eating golden corn kernels very seriously.
Zhong Manhua's face was paled.
In front of so many people, she doesn't even give her an out?
"Just eat this?" Zhong Laoye noticed, "Let them make another plate."
Ying Zijin slightly shook her head: "No, Grandpa, I can't eat that much."
Zhong Laoye was afraid of her being polite, so he just said, "Just say what you like, and they will make it in the kitchen."
Zhong Zhiwan can't stand it anymore, and got up with a cold expression: "Grandpa, I'm full so I'll go back to my room first."
Zhong Laoye nodded and said nothing.
Zhong Zhiwan choked and went upstairs.
How could Mrs. Zhong not understand her daughter? She smiled and said: "Laoye, the elite class has been studying hard recently. Wanwan went back to study hard. Don't think she doesn't want to talk to you too much."
This sentence reminded Zhong Laoye: "Zijin, is there a lot of pressure on your study? Do you want to take a makeup lesson from Wanwan?"
Mrs. Zhong almost laughed.
Zhong Zhiwan is the Top one in their grade. How can she have spare time to make up lessons for an adopted daughter?
"Thank you, grandpa, for your kindness." Ying Zijin leaned on the chair, looking lazy, "but I am going to change to another class."
"Change to another?" Master Zhong was taken aback, "Why?"
Ying Zijin took a sip of soup: "I don't want to stay anymore, it's annoying."
Zhong Manhua has been enduring it, but finally couldn't help it.
She slapped her chopsticks on the table with a "Pa!", feeling really angry: "The Elite Class is the best class in Qingzhi. Do you know how much effort it took Ying's Family to get you in with your grades?"
"You won't stay just because you said so, do you think you represent it alone?"
Zhong Laoye: The vase is at least still pretty, what about you?
Zhong Laoye: There is no advantage, just a poisonous tongue :)
