Chapter 60: 058 Some People Just Love to Humiliate Themselves [2 Updates]
Ying Feifei’s eyes brimmed with hope.
Zhong Zhiwan was the young mistress of the Zhong Family, while Ying Zijin was the foster daughter of the Ying Family.
In terms of status, the difference was clear at a glance.
Therefore, Zijin would certainly heed Zhiwan’s words and let the police release her.
“Officer,” Ying Zijin didn’t even look at Zhong Zhiwan, nodding politely towards the two policemen, “what about interfering with police operations?”
Both policemen were middle-aged and had children about the same age, and upon learning what Ying Feifei had done, they were extremely angry.
Luckily, the young lady had strong resilience and wasn’t harmed by it.
One of the police officers looked coldly at Zhong Zhiwan without a trace of fondness, “Take her away too.”
So things that don’t happen to oneself can be so easily dismissed?
“Don’t be afraid, young lady,” said the other officer, offering words of comfort, “With us here, no one will bully you.”
Ying Zijin stood with her hands in her pockets, her posture relaxed, and she nodded slightly, “Thank you, officers,”
The two policemen’s paternal instincts went through the roof.
Look, such a well-behaved young girl.
Zhong Zhiwan never expected Ying Zijin to completely ignore her, as if acknowledging her was a waste of time.
Her face flushed with embarrassment, and she felt so humiliated that her face burned.
Zhong Zhiwan pursed her lips, restraining her displeasure, “Cousin, why would you…”
“Who you calling cousin?” Jiang Ran kicked a bottle of mineral water, nearly losing it completely, sneeringly said, “Don’t try to cozy up. If I hear it once more, you won’t be able to hang around in Verdant, get it?”
Another one dreaming of stepping over his head.
And sure enough, a few punk-like followers also started shouting fiercely, “That’s right, this is our Brother Ran’s Daddy Ying, what are you to call her cousin?”
Jiang Ran: “…”
Fuck.
His reputation as a school tyrant was now only in name.
“Jiang Ran, you!” Zhong Zhiwan actually trembled with anger, her eyes misting with tears, “Don’t go too far!”
Jiang Ran laughed scornfully and walked away with his school uniform.
“Tsk, Daddy Ying, you must have realized by now that Zhong Zhiwan likes Jiang Moyuan,” Xiu Yu said, stroking his chin, “Too bad, with Moyuan’s EQ, even if she confessed to him, he would think she’s gone mad.”
Ying Zijin fell silent for a moment.
She hadn’t noticed it at all.
Perhaps she didn’t understand the thoughts of young girls.
Seeing Zhong Zhiwan was of no help, Ying Feifei burst into tears, “Ying Zijin, I beg you, please let me go. I’ll kneel before you, please don’t sue me.”
Onlookers who didn’t know the full story generally sympathized with the underdog, and witnessing Ying Feifei like this, their hearts softened.
“Yeah, yeah, you’re classmates after all.”
“Maybe just let it go this time…”
“Ying Feifei, stop the sob story, what were you doing earlier?” Xiu Yu pointed at Ying Feifei, “You all might not know, right? It was her, Ying Feifei, who first spread rumors that Zijin seduced Jiang Moyuan and insulted her online, telling Zijin to die.”
She sneered, “Not to mention the spider incident last time, that’s practically murder. Have you all heard the saying ‘urge clemency and you’ll be struck by lightning’?”
The students who had been speaking up for Ying Feifei were taken aback by this revelation, and their look of disgust instantly appeared.
“So disgusting, I wonder how her parents raised her.”
“I’ve seen her mother, claims to be a noble lady from a wealthy family, but she’s actually a shrew. That explains it.”
“No, I don’t want to go, Ying Zijin, please…” Ying Feifei cried hysterically, handcuffed and taken away by the two police officers.
Ying Zijin yawned, munching on pineapple as she walked, “Let’s go.”
Xiu Yu gave Zhong Zhiwan a thumbs-down and headed to the sports field.
The students dispersed, whispering among themselves.
“Goddess Zhong is from the Elite Class and knows the truth, yet she spoke up for Ying Feifei. My illusions are shattered.”
“And she even called Ying Zijin cousin, siding with an outsider. It’s one thing not to have principles, but not to stand by her own family”
For the first time, Zhong Zhiwan experienced such scrutinizing gazes at school.
Usually, her classmates admired her.
How could this happen?
Zhong Zhiwan bit her lip hard, her face turning pale.
She clenched her fingers and ran back towards the teaching building.

Gym class was free time.
Ying Zijin leaned against a tree, listening to music with her headphones, and then sent a WeChat message to Fu Yunshen.
[I’ve checked out the recent online auctions on STAR, but none of them had those six medicinal herbs.]
Fu Yunshen always replied instantly; she didn’t know what he did all day.
[Mmm, brother knows, you don’t have to worry about it, I’ll take care of it.]
Two seconds later, he sent another message.
[Are you going to the pet store tonight?]
[Hmm?]
[Don’t you want to buy a pig?]
Ying Zijin raised her eyebrows.
Indeed, being on the trending searches was no good; her Weibo was alarmingly well-known now.
[You shouldn’t pry into the lives of the youth.]
[…Kid, isn’t attacking someone’s age a bit too much?]
Just as Ying Zijin was thinking how to comfort him, a loud shout suddenly rang in her ears.
“Daddy Ying, watch out!”
Ying Zijin looked up to see a basketball hurtling toward her.
She didn’t dodge; instead, she lifted her hand and firmly caught the basketball, then with a single hand tossed it.
The basketball traced an arc in the air, “thwack” against the backboard, dropped into the hoop, hit the ground, and rolled away.
“…”
The boys on the basketball court were all dumbfounded.
Holy shit?
That went in?
That was at least 15 meters, right?
A three-pointer is just 6.25 meters.
“Daddy Ying’s shooting skills seem to be even better than yours,” a lackey exclaimed. “Brother Ran, your title as the basketball dominator is in jeopardy.”
Jiang Ran’s face turned utterly dark as he ground his teeth: “Shut your mouth!”
These past few days, he had been so antisocial he didn’t even want to talk.
Even in the capital, he had never seen anyone this freakish.
Compared to Ying Zijin, those heirs from the capital were worth squat.
Jiang Ran kicked the basketball away in frustration and walked off with his hands in his pockets.

When Lady Ying received the call from the police station, she could hardly believe it.
Her Feifei had always been obedient, so how could she end up in a police station?
Lady Ying hurried to the police station and after inquiring, she found out it was because of an online defamation dispute.
She couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It was nothing serious, after all.
“Officer, why make such a fuss over such a trifle?” Lady Ying smiled disdainfully, her pride evident, “Just have the other party compensate us, and that’s that. I won’t ask for much, fifty thousand should do. Our Feifei mustn’t be wronged.”
As soon as she said that, the entire room fell silent.
The officer taking the statement put down his pen and looked at her with a strange expression, his tone sarcastic: “Compensate you?”
Lady Ying felt somewhat embarrassed, but more so angry: “Is there something wrong with what I said?”
