Chapter 68: 066 Character Image Collapses [1 Update]
Old Madam Ying was tightly closing her eyes, exhaling more than inhaling, and had clearly fallen into a deep coma.
“Call an ambulance, quick!” Ying Luwei panicked, “Butler? Butler!”
At the same time, she also breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Old Madam Ying did not hear that last sentence from Old Master Zhong.
Initially, the butler quickly called the family doctor over before dialing 120.
The servants in the Ying family’s old house were also in a fluster, all somewhat panicked.
Ying Luwei was a late-life child of Old Madam Ying, born prematurely due to pregnancy complications.
At that time, Old Madam Ying was already an older expectant mother, and this took a great toll on her health, making it deteriorate with age. She also developed high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and a series of other illnesses.
Sometimes, she could faint while just walking around outside.
Not to mention being yelled at like this by Old Master Zhong.
Zhong Manhua finally snapped out of it and harshly said, “What are you all frozen for? Get the medication, quick!”
Within three minutes, the ambulance arrived, and the medical staff immediately placed Old Madam Ying on a stretcher and transported her to First Hospital.
Ying Luwei and the butler hurried off with them, while Zhong Manhua stayed behind.
“I’m fed up, not fainting earlier or later, just had to faint at this time,” Old Master Zhong was still intent on cursing, “How could she just faint like that? It must have been timed, right?”
Old Madam Ying was almost a decade younger than him, and yet she was not as robust as he was.
“Dad!” Zhong Manhua was quite exasperated, lowering her voice, “Why did you say that in front of mom?”
If it hadn’t been for that one time when she and Ying Zhenting were on the phone, and by chance, Old Master Zhong heard it while watering the flowers on the balcony, this situation wouldn’t have happened today.
“What? Isn’t she Zijin’s grandmother?” Old Master Zhong did not show any good face to Zhong Manhua, “Why the hell can’t I speak?”
“Dad, it’s not even about that,” Zhong Manhua argued, “Mom’s health is poor, she can’t take such emotional turmoil. If you say it so bluntly, what if she has a cerebral hemorrhage?”
This was why they had always kept it a secret from Old Madam Ying.
Firstly, they could not risk Old Madam Ying getting sick.
Secondly, there was no need to tell her. After all, they weren’t planning to make Zijin’s identity public.
It was too embarrassing.
How could Old Master Zhong not know what Zhong Manhua was thinking? He laughed scornfully, “Fine, Zhong Manhua, you’ve got it, just you better not regret it. I don’t want to hear you crying later.”
He didn’t want to let that old woman know the truth either. What if it brought even more trouble for Zijin?
Good that she fainted, if he had to say, it’s because she committed too many wrongs and got what she deserved!
Old Master Zhong left without looking back, flinging his sleeve behind him.
Zhong Manhua furrowed her brows and did not chase after him.
She was somewhat baffled by Old Master Zhong’s rage.
Admittedly, what she did was somewhat wrong, but was it necessary to be so resentful?
As for regrets?
Zhong Manhua snorted softly.
How could that be possible.

By the time Ying Corporation and Ying Luwei noticed the matter on Weibo, there were already trending topics, two of them.
#FosterDaughter, Living Blood Bank#
#Ying Luwei, Hemophilia#
Even though it was only in the forties, some people had seen it.
Especially the words “Living Blood Bank” drew quite a few netizens to click through.
[Wow, quite the education. So living blood banks do exist. Thought it was only in novels, but reality is crueler than fiction.]]
[How despicable can this family be? Just because they’re a wealthy family, they think they can bully ordinary people and cover the sky with one hand?]
[It’s honestly hilarious, Ying Luwei’s fans are saying they’re heartbroken for her, shouldn’t they be concerned for her sister instead?]
[Please, Ying Luwei’s brain-dead fans probably think it’s only right for her sister to donate blood to her. You can tell what kind of celebrity they are by their fans, ugh.]
Following the previous defamation and verbal abuse incident, Ying Luwei’s image had collapsed even more severely in just a few days.
Even though her fans were still loyally protecting their idol and trying hard to control the narrative in the top comments, they couldn’t withstand the backlash from the bystanders with normal values.
Seeing these comments, Ying Luwei’s face twisted for the first time.
She grabbed the phone and called her agent, “Pull down the trending search right now, and make that so-called leaker delete the Weibo post!”
“Alright, alright.” One wave hadn’t settled before another arose, and the agent as well was severely troubled, “Don’t go on Weibo either, the studio will post photos of you practicing the piano in a bit.”
Ying Luwei, seriously angered, slammed down on the piano keys.
What did it have to do with her?
She didn’t force Ying Zijin to donate blood. Why were they constantly trying to pin this black hat on her?
Ying Luwei didn’t think she was at fault at all and, suppressing her anger, continued to practice the piano.
With the Ying Family intervening, the trending topic was quickly taken down, of course.
After @TheStrongestLeaker’s Weibo was deleted, he posted a crying emoji as if he was about to cry.
[Patting TheStrongestLeaker, indeed, you can’t mess with a wealthy family. Please, be careful and move quickly.]
[Ying Luwei’s handling of this situation really disgusts me, enough said, I’m heading over to her sister’s place to see the pig.]
Originally, netizens followed @Don’tDisturbTheElderly just because they found Ying Zijin’s daily life entertaining.
But recently, they found a new amusement when they discovered that this immortal sister had actually bought a pig and had taken a photo with it.
[Dudu is so cute, I want to raise one too.]
[Sister, are you alright? You must get away from the Ying Family and stop letting them bleed you dry.]
Ying Zijin was searching all the global websites and saw quite a few people comforting her, so she replied with a “no problem.”
[Sister, can you post a picture? We hardly ever see your face, and I’m so curious.]
Ying Zijin raised an eyebrow and typed on her mobile phone with one hand.
[It’s night time, don’t daydream.]
[Sob, even when sister claps back, she’s so adorable, I love it.]
Ying Zijin rubbed her head, really wanting to block a few of these Weibo accounts.
But after all, they were just young girls and were concerned for her, so she could barely tolerate it.
It seemed like she needed to register a new secondary account.
Ying Zijin turned off Weibo notifications and continued searching various major websites.
However, she had finished searching all the global sites and had not found a forum called NOK.
There really was something there.
Ying Zijin tapped her fingers on the tabletop, pondered for a moment, and was about to hack into another computer far across the ocean when Ying Luwei posted on Weibo during work.
[@YingLuweiStudioV: Showing everyone a fresh look at Luwei [flower]]
Below was a photo.
Ying Luwei was practicing piano in the piano room, with a music sheet placed on the stand.
Her fans immediately went into a frenzy.
[Sister, rest up well, I’m waiting for your concert.]
[Reported all the trolls leading the mob, protecting the best Luwei]
[I just knew Luwei would definitely master Vera Hall’s ‘Sun and Moon’, so excited!]
Ying Zijin looked at the deliberately enlarged music sheet, her phoenix eyes narrowing slightly.
