Chapter 490: 446 You lost your biological daughter, you deserve it [1 update] Chapter 490: 446 You lost your biological daughter, you deserve it [1 update] Seeing the row of red characters floating across the screen, Mong Ru simply couldn’t believe her eyes.
Although the Yuan family wasn’t a major clan in the imperial capital, having mingled in high society for so long, Mong Ru was quite clear about many things.
Mong Ru knew that only the Nie Family, Mu Family, Di Wu Family, and Xiu Family could be called top noble families of the imperial capital.
A scientific research family like the Ji Family wasn’t well-known because many of its members had signed secrecy agreements and couldn’t disclose information, so few people outside and on the internet knew about them.
Including Mong Ru herself, she had never even heard of the Ji Family.
But that didn’t mean the comprehensive strength of the Ji Family was poor.
On the contrary, because the domain the Ji Family was in was so special, people like Mong Ru simply didn’t have the privilege to know about it.
But no matter what, the Nie and Mu families represented the pinnacle of imperial capital’s major clans.
The Di Wu Family was slightly weaker in business, so it appeared weaker than the Nie and Mu families to the outside world.
Ordinary people wouldn’t think that it was the Di Wu Family that was the most terrifying existence.
However, now these three families were actually joining forces to host a banquet for Ying Zijin?!
Mong Ru’s body swayed, she found it hard to even stand steady, and her face gradually turned pale.
The noise of the crowd surrounded her, but she could no longer hear any of it.
In front of her eyes, only the three characters “Ying Zijin” remained.
In the past two days, this name appeared too frequently.
Walking on the street, Mong Ru could hear people talking about it.
It was Father Yuan who first broke the silence, “Turns out, it’s prepared for the college entrance examination top scorer.”
The Nie and Mu families would certainly mingle with high-tech talents, that was for sure.
Yet, the college entrance examination results had only just come out; how could their actions be so swift?
The only answer was that Ying Zijin must have already known the Nie and Mu families, and had a good relationship with them.
Mong Ru found it difficult to breathe.
And at that moment, someone called out to her.
It was a Noble Lady with whom she had a somewhat amicable facade.
“Madam Yuan, why are you standing here?” the Noble Lady looked surprised. “Oh, you don’t know? You must be unaware, that’s Ying Zijin, the top scorer from Shanghai City’s college entrance examination.”
“Elder Mu and Elder Nie both like her very much. Today’s banquet, prepared specifically for her, it’s our great fortune to be able to attend this event,” she said, without even looking at Mong Ru’s expression, and walked in first.
Mong Ru almost couldn’t catch her breath and followed her in.
The banquet hadn’t started at this time, but quite a few guests had already arrived.
Searching through the banquet hall, Mong Ru finally spotted a familiar figure.
The girl was walking toward a private room on the right, surrounded by many people.
One of them was Old Master Nie, Nie Yunjian.
Mong Ru’s breathing became hurried, and she immediately approached.
Father Yuan and Jiacheng couldn’t stop her in time, Mong Ru already walked over.
“Miss Ying, hello, I am a friend of your grandmother,” said Mong Ru boldly, seemingly forgetting her past actions, and instead smiled modestly, “My name is Mong Ru, from the Yuan family. We’ve met before.”
With just one sentence, the entire banquet hall fell silent.
Many guests cast astonished glances in their direction.
Outside the hall was where Old Master Nie was entertaining other guests, while the feast prepared for Ying Zijin was in the private room.
So although they also wanted to get acquainted with Ying Zijin, with the Nie and Mu families guarding her, how could it be their turn?
The guests were quite self-aware.
Father Yuan and Jiacheng didn’t expect Mong Ru to directly approach her like that.
Ying Zijin didn’t speak, not even lifting her eyes.
Being completely ignored, Mong Ru felt awkward.
“Oh yes, I remember now,” instead, Nie Chao looked at Mong Ru for a few seconds, “Aren’t you the crazy woman who was impolite and screaming on the plane last time?”
Mong Ru was startled: “What?”
She suddenly recalled an incident.
At the end of last year, she had encountered Nie Chao on a plane, as well as Fu Yunshen, the president of the Venus Group’s Asia-Pacific Region.
The shock from the Nie Family, Mu Family, and Di Wu Family was already big enough, and now there was even the Venus Group?!
Mong Ru looked at the girl, her face turning pale.
Only today did she realize what she had missed.
It was just by that little bit.
Otherwise, at this moment, the Yuan family would have already been riding on the coattails of the Venus Group!
“Not only that,” Xiu Yu crossed his arms and also remembered Mong Ru, sneering, “You guys don’t know, at that time, Daddy Ying and I had just left the school when we ran into that fake rich girl Ying Yuexuan.”
