Chapter 178: 172 Living is worse than dying! True Foster Daughter [2 updates]

If something really happened to her, could the Ying Family just let it slide?

Ying Luwei didn’t notice that, after she finished her ruthless statement, the captain was looking at her with the eyes one would give a fool.

Her gaze returned to the girl, and she sneered coldly: “You’re indeed fortunate to have survived this. I truly regret that I didn’t throw you directly into the river and drown you!”

Only then would it be cutting the weeds and digging up the roots.

“Miss Zijin, perhaps we shouldn’t waste words on her any longer,” the captain couldn’t contain his anger. “Brothers, take her away directly and lock her up in the high-security prison.”

Trafficking infants, intentional murder, the death penalty would be enough.

“High-security prison? Do you think it’s that easy to get in there?” Ying Luwei scoffed. “Ying Zijin, don’t think you can tie me up and bring me here with a few thugs and act all powerful.”

“If you were really capable, would I have been able to draw your blood?”

The captain took out an iron muzzle and put it on Ying Luwei.

“Wu wu!” Ying Luwei’s eyes widened in terror, her complexion turned deathly pale.

“No rush.” Fu Yunshen raised his hand, lazily indifferent. “There are some things that must be reclaimed.”

He smiled, his eyes icy: “This past year, you’ve taken so much blood from Yaoyao, it’s time to pay it back tenfold.”

Ying Luwei stared at him, her eyes filled with bloodshot veins.

“But Yaoyao said, once her blood enters your body, it gets dirty, and she doesn’t want it back,” Fu Yunshen said indifferently. “So you’re going to drink it back, mouthful by mouthful.”

After speaking, he turned his head: “Still want to watch?”

“Not anymore.” Ying Zijin stood up and put on her baseball cap. “It’s a sore sight for the eyes.”

“Don’t worry, leave this matter to us,” the captain said, rubbing his hands with anticipation. “We’ve dealt with international criminals before, she’s even simpler to manage.”

Ying Luwei started to feel fear again. She wanted to scream for Ying Zijin to stop, but her voice was completely muffled by the iron muzzle, not a single word could come out.

The two uniformed individuals from earlier approached again and dragged her into the adjacent room.

Then Ying Luwei felt a sharp pain on her wrist, and the blood started to flow, faster and faster.

Ying Luwei simply couldn’t believe it.

She had haemophilia, and once injured, the wounds were hard to heal. Did these people not know that?

But what came next was even more crushing for her.

Once a cup was filled with her blood, someone applied medicine to her.

Who knows what kind of medicine it was that could heal her wounds within mere seconds.

“Drink it up.”

With force, Ying Luwei was made to lift her head, and she was forced to swallow her own blood, mouthful by mouthful.

After she had finished, they didn’t let her speak a word and put the iron muzzle back on her.

A few seconds later, she felt another sharp pain in her right arm.

Bleeding.

Drinking blood.

Over and over again.

Ying Luwei completely lost her mind.

She now believed that what Fu Yunshen said was not even slightly false; it was indeed more ruthless.

And the ones who laid their hands on her were clearly aligned with Ying Zijin.

Ying Luwei couldn’t accept this fact at all.

She had already investigated Ying Zijin, who was nothing but a helpless country bumpkin.

How could so many people suddenly rally to her side?

By the fourth forced consumption of her own blood, Ying Luwei could no longer bear it, and she screamed frantically: “I want to see Zhong Manhua, I want to see Zhong Manhua!”

“She’s my sister-in-law, the Matriarch of the House of Ying. I have something to tell her, let me see her!”

However, the members of the Yi Character Team acted as if they hadn’t heard a thing, continuing their work without pause.

The captain furrowed his brow and stepped out to make a phone call: “Hello, Miss Zijin, she says she wants to see Zhong Manhua… Got it, understood.”

**

After two more days of immense physical and mental torment, Ying Luwei was finally released.

Of course, they didn’t let her go but allowed her to meet Zhong Manhua through an iron door.

Zhong Manhua had been busy with public relations for Ying Corporation and had almost forgotten about Ying Luwei.

If Ying Zhenting hadn’t told her that the group that visited the Ying Family last time was the Yi Character Team, an institution that not even the big shots of the imperial capital would dare to provoke, she would never have come to such a filthy and damp place.

She couldn’t stand it for even one more second.

Zhong Manhua’s expression was very cold, her gaze full of disgust: “I heard you wanted to see me. What is it?”

“Hehehe…” As soon as she saw that look on Zhong Manhua’s face, Ying Luwei knew the Ying Family had abandoned her.

Well, that was to be expected.

Her older brother only had eyes for benefits.

The people of the Ying Family were always cold-blooded, only thinking of themselves.

Ying Luwei’s face was pale, yet she was laughing: “Zhong Manhua, do you know why I got rid of Ying Zijin?”

Zhong Manhua was initially startled, then her reaction was to look around.

After confirming there was no one else nearby, she frowned and rebuked coldly: “What nonsense are you talking about? The one you threw away was clearly Xiao Xuan.”

“Sister-in-law, you really are ruthless,” Ying Luwei laughed until tears came out, “treating your own daughter as a foster daughter and even deliberately giving her to me as a living blood bank. Now, at this point, you still care about Ying Yuexuan.”

“What exactly do you want to say?” Zhong Manhua’s face turned ashen, “If you’re just talking to me about these things, it’s useless. Your elder brother also wants to save you, but you’re detained by the Yi Character Team, summoned personally by Old Master Fu. What can we do?”

Ying Luwei wiped her tears away, “That’s right, it’s the Yi Character Team, and of course you can’t do anything.”

The torture of these days made her realize that she was thoroughly finished.

But she was not resigned, she wanted to drag the entire Ying family down with her.

She truly looked forward to the day Zhong Manhua found out that the Yi Character Team had clearly come for Ying Zijin, with the lower team leaders all treating Ying Zijin with utmost respect—would Zhong Manhua also collapse?

But she wouldn’t tell Zhong Manhua now; she wanted them to regret it.

Zhong Manhua lost the desire to talk to Ying Luwei and stood up to leave.

“Do you know why I threw away Ying Zijin?” Ying Luwei sneered, “Because from the moment she was born, everyone’s attention, including Mother’s, shifted to her.”

“On her full-month celebration, it happened to be my birthday. Just because she caught a little cold, all of you went to the hospital, and no one remembered me.”

“Has anyone ever considered my feelings?”

Zhong Manhua’s eyes reddened with anger, “You’re simply a beast!”

“Sister-in-law, don’t talk about yourself like that,” Ying Luwei smiled, “You’re even worse than a beast for how you treated your own daughter.”

Zhong Manhua trembled with rage, “Nonsense, that’s you playing the victim to deceive us.”

She wrapped her coat tighter around her, as if by doing so she could don a garment of shame, and without listening to another word from Ying Luwei, she left in disarray.

Ying Luwei’s eyes were hollow as she stared at the ceiling, her expression blank.

More than a decade had passed, and she still remembered the words that woman would mutter by her ear every few days.

“Luwei, it’s really pitiful for you. You were the favorite, and then your sister-in-law had your niece. Even the Old Madam doesn’t dote on you as much.”

“Your niece isn’t even a year old. What if she continues to grow? What will become of you?”

“Alas, if your niece were gone, your elder brother, sister-in-law, and the Old Madam would still cherish you the most. How pitiable…”

Then, malice arose in her, and she found an opportunity to throw the baby away.

That woman…

It seems she will never meet her in this lifetime.

Ying Luwei tugged at the corners of her mouth, smiling hideously.

Before long, she was taken away again.

This time to a maximum-security prison.

**

After resting for a few days, Ying Zijin returned to school.

No sooner had she entered Class 19 than a bunch of flowers was showered upon her.

“Welcome back, Daddy Ying, to your recovery!”

“Awooo, Daddy Ying, we’ve missed you so much.”

Turning her head slowly, Ying Zijin saw two underlings dutifully throwing flower petals from baskets.

“Cough, cough.” Jiang Ran coughed twice and approached, “Daddy Ying, how are you feeling?”

This was the best of several welcoming methods he had found online that suited his taste.

“Corny.”

“…”

Xiu Yu patted his shoulder hard, “I finally understand why, despite your good looks, you can’t even get a girlfriend. Your EQ, tsk tsk.”

“Get lost!” Jiang Ran, humiliated and angry, retorted, “That’s because I’m not interested in that sort of thing.”

Xiu Yu shrugged, “Even if you were interested, you wouldn’t stand a chance.”

Jiang Ran became sullen, covered his head with his school uniform, and started to sleep at his desk.

“An adolescent with a strong sense of pride,” Xiu Yu turned to the girl, “Daddy Ying, I’ve prepared some nourishing food for you.”

After she sat down, she said, “I saw a post saying Ying Luwei has been put in prison. I wonder if it’s true or false.”

“Hmm,” Ying Zijin’s eyes tired, “She’s in.”

“What goes around comes around, serves her right,” Xiu Yu sneered, “The Ying family is really decisive, they just gave up on her like that.”

In the past few days, Ying Corporation also made a statement, swiftly distancing the Ying family from Ying Luwei, portraying the Ying’s as victims.

After a series of public relations maneuvers, the stock prices finally started to rise again.

Ying Zijin showed little interest.

At that moment, one of the underlings beside her let out an exclamation.

Xiu Yu kicked him, “Why are you so loud?”

“Daddy Ying, your sister… no, wait!” The underling scratched his head, thinking carefully for a proper term, “I mean, the Miss of the Ying family, Zhong Zhiwan’s real cousin, she has posted on Weibo.”

“Ying Yuexuan?” Xiu Yu frowned.

They all knew of Ying Yuexuan, a member of the Elite Class, and considered along with Zhong Zhiwan as the Verdant Goddess.

But they hadn’t seen her in a year.

Leaning over to look, they saw a sentence.

[@YingYuexuanV: Hello everyone, this is my first time greeting you all on Weibo. Let me introduce myself. I am Ying Yuexuan, the Miss of the Ying family, the victim who was once thrown away by my aunt.]
