Chapter 36


The invigilator stood behind Zi Yi during the second exam and watched with his eyes open wide as she completed the questions.

Everyone looked at her pitifully.

This girl had submitted her test script in 30 minutes in the last exam, so the invigilator must be angry.

Just as everyone started to envision Zi Yi losing her slot in the exam, the invigilator suddenly asked, "Are you ready to hand in your script?"

"Yes." Zi Yi capped her pen before she packed up her things and stood up.

The invigilator gave way to her and even made a suggestion as she left, "The exam in the afternoon starts at 2:00 pm. Don't be late."

"Got it."

The applicants were speechless.

This was not what they imagined.

It was only 10:30 am when Zi Yi left the exam hall. The moment she took out her phone, she saw notifications for a few missed calls.

Li Peirong and He Fei had called.

Zi Yi glanced at them and wanted to put her phone away, but Li Peirong suddenly called.

Zi Yi answered the call.

Li Peirong's concerned voice came through the speaker. "Yiyi, the driver said you went shopping. Where are you? Why didn't you answer my call? You spent the whole night out. Are you trying to worry me to death?"

Zi Yi trembled in disgust. Earthlings in ancient times were shockingly capable of pretending to be concerned, even if they hated each other.

She was genuinely impressed.

She said nothing, so Li Peirong added, "Don't be angry with your father. He was a little harsh on you because he is in a bad mood."

A thought suddenly crossed Zi Yi's mind and she asked, "Aren't you going back to City S today? Why are you still here?"

Li Peirong went quiet briefly before she replied, "How could we go back without you?"

Zi Yi certainly did not buy a single word. She merely acknowledged what she said before she herself said, "If that is all, I am hanging up."

Li Peirong hurriedly said, "When are you coming back?"

Li Peirong neither told her to come back to the hotel immediately nor shared how angry Zi Xu was. Zi Yi just knew that something must have happened.

Sure enough, Li Peirong finally said, "We will be staying in the capital for a couple more days. Why don't you come back in the afternoon?"

Zi Yi acknowledged Li Peirong and hung up.

She hacked into Zi Xu's phone records and went through the calls he received last night up until this morning.

Zi Xu had received a call from the He family this morning. It was shockingly a call from He Fei's father.

He Fei's father had invited him to tea.

Zi Yi's eyes narrowed after she listened to the conversation recording.

Why did He Fei's father suddenly call Zi Xu?

Zi Yi could not wrap her mind around what the ancients were thinking and decided to stop pondering about it.

It was still early, so she decided to check out some places near Metropolis University.

Since she was going to study here, she needed a place to stay.

There were a lot of real estate agents near Metropolis University.

Zi Yi checked online to find some reliable real estate agents before she went to one called Elegance.

A mother and son were inside the office checking out the real estate. The middle-aged woman was dripping in expensive accessories while her young son was dressed in designer goods. They were clearly nouveau riche1.

Zi Yi walked in to hear the middle-aged woman questioning the real estate agent. "I want a villa. Why did you recommend houses with a yard? Do I look like I can't afford a villa?"

All the other real estate agents cast strange looks at the middle-aged woman.

The real estate agent awkwardly explained to her, "Ma'am, you wanted the most expensive real estate in the capital. This property is listed at $1.5 billion."


Chapter 37


"How much did you say?" The middle-aged woman thought she had heard wrongly. She pointed at the model of the property. "How much did you say this stupid property was worth?"

"That's right, Ma'am. Property like that is worth more than a villa in the capital."

The middle-aged woman looked upset and thought that the real estate agent was lying to her.

The young man beside her pulled her. "Mum, stop it. Property like this always costs more in the capital."

The middle-aged woman looked at her son to see embarrassment written all over his face. Despite her awkwardness, she acted like she did not like the property listed here.

"Let's check out some other real estate agencies. I don't like the property here."

The moment she finished her sentence, she pulled her son out.

The young man suddenly halted when they walked past Zi Yi. "H-hi."

The middle-aged woman glared at Zi Yi angrily before she said to her son, "You are here to study. Don't even think about dating."

Zi Yi felt puzzled by her reaction. She walked up to the real estate agent as he put away some documents and asked, "Where is this located?"

The real estate agent raised his head to see an unbelievably exquisite young woman standing before him. He was momentarily at a loss. He looked at her and said in a daze, "Miss, are you looking for property?"

All the other real estate agents turned to look at Zi Yi as she walked over.

Zi Yi nodded. "Yes. I'd like to buy this."

The real estate agent looked at her. "Erm..."

"Is it not for sale?"

"It's not that..." The real estate agent felt a little embarrassed.

A middle-aged man walked over and introduced himself to Zi Yi, "Miss, my last name is Tang and I'm the manager here. What kind of property are you looking for?"

The manager gestured for the agent to pour Zi Yi some water.

Zi Yi pointed at the model. "I want to get something like this and it has to be close to the city center."

The manager subtly studied Zi Yi. She certainly seemed like she was from a rich family, but she looked young, so he was a little concerned. "Miss, how do I address you?"

"Zi."

"You see, Miss Zi. If you want to buy property in the capital, only the household registration holder can do it. If you are under the legal age, your guardian has to do it on your behalf."

"I am already 18." Zi Yi recalled that the original owner of the body was born in October. However, Li Peirong got someone to change her age and made her six months older, so that she could start school sooner.

She said with a straight face, "I am the head of the household."

She decided to hack into the authorities system later and create her own household registration later.

Although the manager did not believe her, he asked warmly, "What is your budget?"

"Anything works for me as long as it is near Metropolis University and quiet."

The manager automatically thought she wanted a quieter location since such properties usually came with security. A property promptly emerged in his mind. He was in a dilemma as he thought about the property. "Miss Zi, we do have something that fits your needs, but it's a little expensive."

"How much is it?"

"This property is 300 square feet and consists of two yards. It comes with the finest yellow rosewood furnishing. The masonry in the yard is made with white marble. The layout was built in accordance with geomancy. It is just a 15-minute walk from Metropolis University. It starts at $3.7 billion."

The property had been listed with the real estate agent for over half a year, but no one bought it due to its astronomical price.

Zi Yi contemplated briefly. She did not have the money, so she had to earn it quickly. Also, she had to come up with her own household registration. She said, "Show me the property. If I am happy with it, I will come by tomorrow afternoon to sign the purchase contract."

GLUG!

The manager swallowed his saliva and suppressed his excitement. He added, "Miss Zi, if you are happy with the property, you need only to pay a million dollar deposit for it."

"Okay."
