Chapter 21: Miss Ying

Transparent fragments were scattered on the coffee table. Ying Ruxing raised her eyelids and stared at Ying's father intently.

"I'm not trying to curry favor with anyone, Mrs. Lin. I just helped her look at a few paintings, and we met by chance."

Father Ying snorted with disdain, "You can make friends with the rich and powerful by looking at a few shabby paintings. Do you really think you are a master of appraisal?"

Ying Ruxing was too lazy to argue with him.

"Even if that's the case, you should have told me in advance!"

"A wealthy family like the Lin family has top-notch connections and resources. If we can get a little out of their hands, it will be enough for us to live on for the rest of our lives!"

"Look at Shengsheng. He went to such lengths to attend the banquet just to help his family get resources, but you, on the other hand, are such an ungrateful person!"

"You hid the resources and didn't give them to the Ying family. Are you planning to start your own business behind my back?"

Ying Ruxing pursed her lips.

"Dad, my friendship with the Lin family is not as deep as you think."

"Who are you kidding? I've said it all before. Yesterday at the banquet, Old Lady Lin held your hand and introduced you to the guests. She kept saying that she treated you like her own granddaughter!"

Ying Ruxing frowned and subconsciously looked at Ying Shengsheng on the side.

She lowered her head, but the corners of her mouth were raised.

Although he couldn't see her expression clearly, Ying Ruxing knew that she must be very proud now.

"Forget it. I won't argue with you. Don't you want to marry Bai Yuanzhou? It's okay if you don't want to go home."

"As long as you introduce the Lin family's resources to Dad, I will personally go to the Bai family to talk to them."

As Ying's father spoke, he took out the contract that he had prepared long ago from under the coffee table.

"This contract specifies the funds that the Ying family needs. You can give it to the Lin family. Once this contract is signed, the Bai family will no longer mention marriage in the future."

Ying Ruxing suppressed his anger and read through the contract, all he saw were unfair clauses, which were typical of Party B being taken advantage of.

Ying Ruxing looked at him coldly, with a strong bitterness in her mouth.

This isn't about asking her to introduce resources, it's about asking her to exchange her only connections for money, and it's a one-time deal!

This is her father.

He is always thinking about using his own daughter to exchange for his own benefits!

Ying Ruxing didn't go over, "What if I don't agree?"

Perhaps he didn't expect her to refuse, Ying's father's face suddenly darkened and he glared at her fiercely.

"If you don't agree, just marry Bai Yuanzhou and coax him into submission immediately!"

Ying Ruxing lowered her eyes, a sneer appearing at the corner of her lips.

"Don't even think about the Lin family's resources. I won't agree to it. As for Bai Yuanzhou, I won't marry him!"

Bai Yuanzhou is a scumbag. He looks well-dressed on the outside, but he is worse than a beast at heart.

Marrying him is undoubtedly jumping into a fire pit.

And Ying's father clearly knew about the dirty things Bai Yuanzhou did in private, but he still insisted on using her to exchange for the future of the Ying family!

In his heart, she was nothing more than an object of exchange.

"you dare?!"

Ying's father slammed the table, stood up suddenly, and rushed towards Ying Ruxing.

She subconsciously covered her face with her hands, and the slap she expected did not fall.

The next second, a strong force made her stagger, and Ying's father dragged her out the door.

"let me go!"

Ying Ruxing struggled. The arm that was pinched by him was in great pain. She tried to push him away with her other hand.

But Ying's father is a man after all, and his strength is terrifying.

Ying Ruxing dropped down, trying to avoid his drag by squatting or lying down.

Ying's father pulled her arms with both hands, and when she struggled, he grabbed her hair.

Ying Ruxing screamed, and Ying Shengsheng on the sofa squinted his eyes and chuckled.

The father and daughter struggled for several minutes after they were a few steps away, before Ying's father threw her out the door.

Ying Ruxing rolled down the stairs.

Although there were only two or three steps, it hurt so much that her arms, waist and back were cut and there was a burning pain.

She got up from the ground, her eyes filled with tears, and looked at him in disbelief.

"Dad, are you going to kick me out of the house?"

Ying's father looked at him coldly, his fat body blocking the door.

"You stupid girl, if I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know who is in charge of this family!"

"I tell you, either go and coax Bai Yuanzhou back, or bring the Lin family here, or you'll never be able to enter this door again in your life!"

With a bang, the door was slammed shut.

As the glass began to tremble, Ying Ruxing also began to tremble.

Tears rolled down like beads that had broken off the string.

She never thought that she would be kicked out by Ying's father without any warning.

This was once their home, where the three of them lived together.

How could he...

She stood at the door, listening to the comforting voices and praises from Ying's father coming from inside the house, and her tears fell even more violently.

It was hot and humid in the summer, and Ying Ruxing was sweating in a short while.

She looked at the closed door and the gradually dimming lights, and her lips moved a few times.

No one would open the door for her.

Ying Shengsheng wouldn't say that, and Ying's father wouldn't say that either.

They even wished they would die outside.

Ying Ruxing turned around in a daze. The old man's light next door was still on, but Ying Ruxing didn't dare to step in.

The old man was not someone she should bother.

The world is so big, but there is no place for her.

I walked out of the villa area with heavy steps, and the main road was empty.

She cried quietly, but her cry was clearly heard in the night.

...

Shi Jinyuan drank too much.

Today's drinking party is a welcoming banquet, and Shiyu Group is hosting a welcoming party for the head of the Longi headquarters in France.

The two parties were recently negotiating a cooperation. Today's sincerity made the other party very satisfied, and the cooperation project was finalized at the dinner table.

On the way back, he was still a little tipsy.

The sound of raindrops falling beside his ears, Shi Jinyuan opened the car window, but it was not as cool as he had expected, and the raindrops mixed in became hot and humid.

The wind blowing over brought a hint of heat.

The rain is drizzling and is gradually getting heavier.

The security of the Shi Mansion is very tight. In front of the house is a very long asphalt road, which is the private road of Shi Jinyuan's private residence.

No other vehicles or personnel are allowed to enter without permission.

When the car drove to the gate, the light in the security booth lit up and the gate opened automatically.

But the assistant stepped on the brakes and saw the small figure squatting on the roadside at the gate.

The car lights were bright, and the raindrops were like thousands of silver needles, covering the small ball squatting on the side of the road.

Late at night in the rain, this scene is indescribably lonely.

She seemed to sense a car approaching and suddenly raised her head to look over.

"Sir, it's Miss Ying."

Shi Jinyuan rubbed his eyebrows, slowly opened his eyes, and looked through the car window.

She was completely wet, with water dripping from the ends of her hair and her eyes were red. She couldn't tell if it was because of the rain or because she had been crying.

Shi Jinyuan was drunk and his headache became even worse.

Taking an umbrella from the storage bag on the back seat, Shi Jinyuan got out of the car and walked towards her.

Ying Ruxing stood up and looked at him from a distance, but did not go forward.

She clutched the hem of her clothes, and bloodshot appeared in her watery eyes.

"Why are you here?"

The umbrella was held above her head, and his tall body blocked the wind.

Ying Ruxing smiled at him, then her eyes went dark and her body fell towards him uncontrollably.

He hurriedly caught her, and when the light fell on her face, he saw that her face was completely pale!

Without caring about anything else, Shi Jinyuan threw away the umbrella, picked her up and got into the car.

"Ying Ruxing!"

He patted her cheek gently, and when his cold fingers touched her face, he drew them back as if they were burned.

Then, he touched her forehead again, "Why is it so hot? Ying Ruxing, you have a fever, you can't sleep!"

Ying Ruxing opened her eyes in a daze, grabbed his hand, and buried her face in his chest.

"Mr. Shi, I'm so tired."

Her consciousness had begun to become unstable. She felt as hot as if she were on fire, yet her body felt very cold.

Shivering unconsciously, Ying Ruxing fell into a deep sleep.
