The principal put on his glasses and took the chat records.
The more he read, the uglier his expression became, until it turned livid.
The principal tried to keep his anger in check and probed, “What does Classmate Ying mean by this?”
“Proceed legally,” Ying Zijin nodded slightly, “just giving you a heads-up.”
Principal: “…”
So he was just a tool to be notified.
“I understand,” the principal said, pushing up his glasses with a stern expression, “Classmate Ying, rest assured, Verdant will absolutely not condone this kind of behavior.”
Ying Zijin said nothing more and turned to push the door open and leave.
Zhong Manhua couldn’t care less about how embarrassed she had just been, as she hastily followed: “Zijin!”
He Xun glanced at the two who were leaving, his expression indifferent.
Although Zhong Manhua had done wrong, as a daughter, there should be respect for elders. How could she treat her own mother this way?
He didn’t want to get involved and frowned, “Principal, what did she show you?”
“Oh,” the principal seemed to just remember that He Xun was there, “if you’re curious, take a look for yourself.”
With that, he handed over the chat records.
He Xun took them and was taken aback at the first glance.
It was a conversation between Ying Feifei and the official fan club of Ying Luwei.
[Ying Feifei]: I saw it with my own eyes, Ying Zijin seducing Jiang Moyuan, and it’s not the first time, you know. She often uses the excuse of visiting Ying Luwei to actually get close to Jiang Moyuan.
[Ying Feifei]: But would Jiang Moyuan like her? He didn’t even spare her a glance, yet she has no self-awareness and shamelessly follows him around. What can Jiang Moyuan, being such a gentleman, do to her?
[Ying Luwei Official Fan Club]: Don’t worry, if she dares to seduce our brother-in-law, we will make her life hell, hehe.
This was spreading rumors, and Ying Feifei indirectly led to a cyberbullying campaign.
He Xun looked up, “So, what’s the punishment for Ying Feifei?”
“What else could it be?” The principal dug out the student records, “For such malicious behavior, of course, she’ll be expelled.”
A student expelled by Verdant, no high school in Hua Country would dare to accept her.
He Xun’s throat moved, but he swallowed back the words “I think it’s too severe.”

Downstairs.
“Zijin!” Zhong Manhua, enduring the strange looks from students around the campus, was nearly losing her temper, “Can you stop for a moment and listen to me?!”
Why was it always so headstrong, not giving her any face?
Zhong Manhua quickened her pace, about to reach out for Ying Zijin.
But before she could even touch the girl’s hem, two punk-style boys wielding realistic-looking spiked clubs blocked her path.
Zhong Manhua’s face turned pale: “What are you trying to do?”
The two boys were from Class 19.
They looked menacing, spitting venom: “Old lady, a warning for you, don’t bully our Daddy Ying, we’re not vegetarians.”
“You, you…” Zhong Manhua was trembling with rage, but as a member of a wealthy family, it was beneath her to lower herself to argue with these types, so she left with a livid face.
Under a tree ahead, Ying Zijin didn’t even glance at Zhong Manhua.
She was on a call: “Elder Mu, thank you. Without you, I might not have been able to contact West Wind Law Firm so easily.”
“Why the courtesy, it was the least I could do.” When the matter was brought up, Mu Heqing was still displeased, “I say, why bother making it so complicated? I could’ve helped you directly.”
Ying Zijin raised an eyebrow: “So you were planning to post a marriage solicitation advertisement on behalf of the Mu family for me?”
Mu Heqing coughed awkwardly a few times, then said solemnly, “How could it be a marriage solicitation? Really, Zijin, if you’re willing, you can choose any man from the Mu family.”
“Oh, not interested.”
“…”
Mu Heqing felt a sharp pain in his heart.
“Elder Mu, there’s something else I’d like to ask you,” Ying Zijin sounded thoughtful and spoke in a low voice, “Do you know where I can buy rare medicinal herbs?”
Mu Heqing was slightly startled, “Rare medicinal herbs?”
After pausing, he frowned, “If you’re talking about rare medicinal herbs like the Century Snow Lotus, then it’s absolutely impossible to find them on the market.”
The Mu family started from a military background, tracing its earliest history back to the Tang Dynasty, but wasn’t part of the Ancient Medical Field.
Mu Heqing only came into contact with the Ancient Medical Field because he needed treatment for his illness.
The Ancient Medical Field was very exclusive and wouldn’t sell rare medicinal herbs to outsiders.
Ying Zijin didn’t seem surprised, “It should be even more precious than the Century Snow Lotus.”
She wasn’t seeing the poison in Old Master Fu’s body for the first time.
She could detoxify it, but the medicinal herbs were a problem.
Especially now, with nature being greatly destroyed, the effectiveness of medicinal herbs was far from what it used to be.
“Then only the Ancient Medical Field would have it,” mused Mu Heqing, “Xiao Ying, even in the Ancient Medical Field, no one your age can compare with your medical skills. I can introduce you to them.”
Ying Zijin pressed her temples, “Sorry, I don’t want to join the Ancient Medical Field right now.”
“I understand,” Mu Heqing did not ask why, “In that case, I have a spare STAR account that you can use to look around, maybe you’ll be able to buy what you need.”
After hanging up the phone, he sent the account username and password through WeChat.

The controversy online was still unceasing.
[Ying Luwei must be too embarrassed to show her face now, right?]
[Her fans have stopped yelling too. They were so lively before, tsk, I’m cringing on your behalf.]
[Am I the only one who cares whether Ying Zijin will actually sue? Or is it just empty talk?]
That was what many influencers and fans thought innerly.
There were so many of them; could they really be sued one by one?
Did they have the manpower, material resources, and energy for that?
Not likely.
The influencers didn’t delete their defamatory Weibo posts; they left them there, because after all, they could still generate more traffic.
One influencer even smugly posted a Weibo.
[@Call Me Invincible Hero: She won’t sue. How many celebrities have actually sued after issuing a statement? It’s all for show. She’s just an ordinary person, what kind of power could she have? Just laugh it off.]
Inside the restaurant, Fu Yunshen looked at this Weibo post with an indifferent gaze.
As if he could feel the warmth, he slightly opened his collar, revealing a small expanse of his collarbone.
Fu Yunshen casually tapped on the table, “Yaoyao.”
Ying Zijin looked up, noticed the askew collar of the man, and wrinkled her brow.
Three seconds later, she still reached out and straightened his collar.
The coolness of her fingertips brushed against the man’s slender neck.
It was as if a slight current of air rippled through, causing ripples to spread.
Fu Yunshen was momentarily stunned, then he couldn’t help but laugh, “No way, kid, you have OCD?”
Ying Zijin didn’t respond, but as if compelled by OCD, she adjusted his left sleeve to match the right, “There.”
Only then did she look at him, “What’s up?”
“It’s nothing much, just—” Fu Yunshen’s peach blossom eyes curved, his tone casual, “come see how your brother teaches a lesson to those who bully you.”
“Huh?” Ying Zijin turned her head and saw a Weibo post.
[@Call Me Invincible Hero: Discovered something interesting, three hundred and eighty-four influencers working in unison, the same press releases, the same rumors, and it seems… they all belong to Ying Luwei’s company?]
The Weibo post was accompanied by several images.
