Chapter 61: Your Car is Being Targeted
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After such a huge incident happened, the He Family got wind of it very soon.
Before He Fei regained consciousness, his father had sent someone to fetch He Fei and Zi Xu.
The crowd had also dispersed very quickly.
In the end, Zi Yi was forgotten and left behind.
She walked out of the bar, held her phone, and pondered if she should take a taxi back to the hotel or tour around the Capital to familiarize herself with the environment here.
Just as the thought came to her mind, a car drove over and stopped by her side.
The backseat window rolled down and revealed Lu Jingye's handsome and elegant face.
"Get in, I'll send you home."
Zi Yi looked at him and stayed still. "Are you pitying me?"
"Do you think you need someone's sympathy?"
Zi Yi laughed at his response. She opened the door and sat inside.
The car then drove away at once.
Zi Yi took out her phone. She originally intended to hack into the He family's security to see how they would resolve this incident. However, there was an outsider next to her so she changed her mind. She decided to check it when she returned to the hotel.
On the other hand, she was interested to know how Zi Lian had drugged herself and so, Zi Yi hacked into the bar's CCTV.
She saw Zi Lian pouring the drug into a glass, then raised it as if she wanted to drink it. In the end, she marked the glass.
Zi Yi sighed.
This woman had a meticulous personality.
But regardless of how meticulous she was, she could not possibly escape from them checking the CCTV and discovering this.
Zi Yi deleted the video out of kindness.
Just then, the driver's voice sounded from the front. "Young Master, there's a traffic accident ahead of us."
"Check for other possible routes to the hotel."
"I understand."
While the driver checked, Zi Yi had also followed suit.
She picked a route and showed it to Lu Jingye. "Let's go by this route. It's nearer."
Lu Jingye nodded and said, "Go by XX road."
The driver then turned the car onto another road.
The road she pointed out was very remote. A section of it was the back streets of hotels, and on the opposite side was an abandoned housing estate that would soon be demolished to make way for a new high-class estate.
In the middle of the alley was a place that sold breakfast. When the night fell, there was rarely anyone who walked past.
After the car drove into the alley, the streetlights were obviously much dimmer.
When the car came to the middle of the alley, Zi Yi suddenly said, "Your car is being targeted."
At the same time, the driver said, "Young Master, there's an ambush nearby."
Lu Jingye glanced at Zi Yi in surprise, then he took out a wireless Bluetooth earpiece from his pocket and placed it in his ears. The other party said something and shortly after, he said to the driver, "Drive the car on auto at the corner ahead. We'll jump out."
Zi Yi looked at him.
Lu Jingye said to her, "The other party has a very lethal weapon. This car cannot withstand the impact. We will get out while my bodyguards resolve those who are hidden in the dark."
Zi Yi nodded in response.
When they arrived at the corner, Lu Jingye grabbed Zi Yi's wrist and jumped out of the car.
There was a wall at the side where they had jumped out. If Zi Yi had jumped out on her own, it would have been flawless.
However, she had not expected Lu Jingye to give her a hand. The both of them jumped towards the wall because of momentum.
In the end, her face was towards the direction of the wall and was about to hit it.
Bam!
"Uh..."
When her face bumped against a broad and strong chest, Zi Yi felt her nose turn sour and even tears came out of her eyes.
"Are you alright?" Lu Jingye's concerned voice sounded from above her head.
Zi Yi was about to say, 'if you hadn't given me a hand, I would certainly be fine'. But before she had the chance to speak, she felt a strong incoming crisis. Just as she was about to respond, the hand on her waist tightened and in the next second her feet dangled in the air. In a flash, they dodged to the side.
Immediately after, her wrist was grabbed, and Lu Jingye ran towards the abandoned estate.
Chapter 62: Can You Deal With Him?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Zi Yi wanted to say that she could deal with these people.
But when she turned to look at the calm-looking Lu Jingye, who dragged her along when he ran, she suddenly changed her mind and decided to act like a quiet little girl.
After they ran for some time, Lu Jingye's footsteps slowed down and he checked up on her. "Are you tired? Can you still run?"
There were no lights in the vicinity nor was there any light from the moon tonight. There was only a slight illumination from the bright lights in the city.
Zi Yi responded with a hum and asked, "Do you encounter such situations often?"
"No. Today is an accident... sorry."
Zi Yi thought about the so-called 'accident'. It should be due to the fact that they decided on this route, or perhaps the traffic accident that happened was deliberately arranged.
She did not inquire further. She used her mental powers to survey the vicnicity and discovered someone with a strong killing intent not too far away from them.
Just then, Lu Jingye pulled her wrist and continued walking.
Zi Yi reminded him. "I can walk on my own."
Lu Jingye released her hand and motioned to her. "Follow closely behind me."
"Got it."
The two navigated their way through the abandoned estate with one in the front and the other behind.
The buildings here were yet to be demolished and there were no street lights either. It had been ages since anyone cared for the vegetation in the surroundings and under the dim light, even the wind that blew seemed to be threatening. In addition, the surroundings were so quiet that only their footsteps could be heard.
It was as if they had walked into an uninhabited island.
Just then, Zi Yi heard the whistling sound of someone moving at a fast speed.
She subconsciously bumped against Lu Jingye and he took a big step forward.
Something then ran into the bush on the side.
Lu Jingye turned and looked at her.
Zi Yi pointed to a corner and said in all seriousness, "A rat ran past earlier, which scared me."
Lu Jingye nodded, took out a gun, and continued to lead her forward.
Zi Yi looked at the black thing in his hands and curiously asked, "Is that a gun?"
It was a real antique!
She wanted to touch it.
Lu Jingye acknowledged her and suddenly said, "Be careful."
Shortly after, he dragged her around a corner.
Sounds of gunfire erupted at the same time.
After which, a man dressed in black, who radiated a strong murderous intent, walked in their direction.
Lu Jingye hid Zi Yi behind him.
Zi Yi checked the man walking over and asked, "Can you deal with him?"
Lu Jingye stared at the man and acknowledged her question without the slightest trace of anxiousness.
The man reduced their distance, then stopped when they were five meters apart before he then started shooting.
A second before he managed to shoot, a few bullets shot towards him from several directions.
Bang bang bang...
BAM!
When the guy fell, Zi Yi looked at the gun that had dropped nearby and had the impulse to pick it up.
But the few men hidden in the dark had revealed themselves at that moment.
"Second Young Master." A man reported to Lu Jingye. "We've resolved five of the ambushers but one escaped. Our men are currently pursuing him."
Lu Jingye said to Zi Yi, "Let's leave here first."
Zi Yi looked at his calm expression and nodded.
Under the protection of several bodyguards, they soon walked out of the area and arrived at another bustling street.
There were several cars parked in the street and Zi Yi followed Lu Jingye into the middle car.
The journey back was very smooth without any disturbances.
It did not take long for the car to arrive outside the hotel Zi Yi and her family stayed in.
When Zi Yi alighted, Lu Jingye said, "I will arrange for someone to protect you while you're in the capital these days, so don't worry."
"There's no need." Zi Yi turned around and waved as she walked away. "I don't like people following me. And.. thanks for sending me back tonight."
Following this, she walked further away.
When Zi Yi walked away, Lu Jingye's expression turned cold.
He said to the driver, "To Qingyuan."
Chapter 63: Zi Xu's Choice
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The living room was empty when she returned but Zi Xu's room was left unlocked.
Zi Yi returned to her room and coincidentally heard Li Peirong speaking to Zi Lian. "You have to eat a little. No matter what, your health is the most important."
"Aunt Peirong, I have no appetite." Zi Lian's voice contained traces of worry as she asked, "Will Uncle Xu let He Fei be responsible?"
"He will. It was the Fourth Young Master He who forced himself on you. If he intends to be irresponsible, the Zi family will not let him off."
"En." After Zi Lian received a positive answer, she was obviously much more relieved.
"Therefore, you have to eat more. If you are pregnant with Fourth Young Master He's child, the He Family will definitely recognize the child regardless of their plans. As the mother of the child, is there a need to fear not receiving the title of the Fourth Madam?"
"This..."
Zi Yi walked into her own room, closed the door, took out her phone, and hacked into the Young Master He's residence.
In the He Family's villa, Master He, Madam He, He Fei, and Zi Xu were sitting down.
1
All their expressions did not seem to be good.
Zi Xu evidently feared the He family and his tone was not very forceful. "No matter what, my niece has been taken by the Fourth Young Master He. Shouldn't he take responsibility?"
"Take responsibility?" He Fei's expression turned livid as he gnashed his teeth. "Even though I was drugged, I didn't lose consciousness. Do you know why your niece entered the men's restroom?"
"Was it not because Fourth Young Master He pulled her inside?" Zi Xu furrowed his brows.
"It was."
Just as Zi Xu was about to relax, he heard He Fei's sneer. "Why don't you ask what she said to me, which resulted in my actions?"
"What did she say?" Zi Xu's expression changed. In the end, it seemed like he was secretly restraining himself as he asked, "I only wish to ask if you've done anything to my niece?"
He Fei continued to sneer. "You can also check with your good niece on this matter. What does she intend to do with me? And what did we do inside the restroom?"
He Fei did not reveal anything, which caused Zi Xu's expression to turn ugly. However, he was helpless to deal with He Fei.
Just then, Master He who was putting tons of pressure on Zi Xu with his solemn expression finally spoke up. "Mr. Zi, our family fancies your daughter, Zi Yi. Not others from the Zi Family.
With this incident that your niece has caused today, there are only two choices I shall give you. First, it's Ah Fei to marry your daughter. Second, if your family is adamant, Ah Fei will cut off all contact with your daughter."
When He Fei heard his father, his expression finally eased.
On the other hand, Zi Xu's heart accelerated for no reason.
He came here today because he was afraid the He family would be dissatisfied with the incident today, and at that time, he would have to return with wasted efforts. With what Master He said today, was there still a need for a choice?
However, he still had to pretend to be in a dilemma.
"This... Master He. This problem, I can't make a choice."
"It seems like Mr. He is unable to arrive at a decision right away. How about this? I'll give you a day's time to think and you will give me your answer after tomorrow."
Zi Yi sneered upon hearing this. "Ha, what a good father."
Subsequently, she switched off the video.
Following this, a cold glint flashed past her eyes as her hands held her phone.
Zi Xu didn't come back until eleven o'clock.
Li Peirong had been waiting in the living room. The moment he returned, she hastily greeted him and asked, "Ah Xu, how did the talk go with the He family?"
After Zi Xu returned, Zi Lian had heard the commotion. She opened the door slightly and stood behind it to eavesdrop.
Zi Xu suppressed his internal excitement and told her about the choices Master He gave him.
He also added, "Don't tell Lianlian and Yiyi about this for the time being."
Zi Yi had always been unwilling to marry He Fei. He was worried that she would be more insistent after tonight's incident.
As for Zi Lian, he had to think of a way for her to give up.
Li Peirong's expression turned stiff while Zi Lian, who was hiding behind the door, almost broke the door handle out of anger.
Chapter 64: If I Can't Marry Him, I Shall Become a Nun
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The next morning, someone knocked on Zi Yi's door.
She went over and opened the door. Li Peirong stood outside and affectionately said, "Your father went out in the morning. Let's have a chat."
"A chat about what?"
Zi Yi walked out the door and they sat down together on the sofa.
Li Peirong stared at her face and with a sad expression, she asked, "Do you not like Fourth Young Master He?"
"Get to the point." Li Peirong must have had other intentions with her question, and Zi Yi did not answer her.
"I'm sure you're aware of what happened yesterday. Your cousin has been taken by Fourth Young Master He. When your father returned yesterday, he said that you can still get married to him if this matter does not spread."
Zi Yi raised an eyebrow. Li Peirong was obviously trying to provoke her into making a fuss. If she was the original owner, she would have already made a fuss. Instead, she merely asked indifferently, "How is she doing?"
"Not good." Li Peirong panicked when Zi Yi did not react as per her expectation. "Something like that happened to your cousin yesterday, and perhaps she might be pregnant with Fourth Young Master He's child."
Zi Yi's lips curled up. "He was merely in the toilet for ten minutes, and cousin is already pregnant?"
"That's right."
It was Zi Lian who said that. She opened the door, walked out, and caressed her stomach while looking like a victim. "You don't know how anxious he was last night. He..."
Speaking of this, she covered her face as if feeling shy and sobbed in a low voice. "I don't blame his roughness, but the child is innocent. I don't want the child to be fatherless in the future.
Yiyi, I'm begging you. Please give He Fei to me. I'm already his and if I can't marry him, I shall become a nun."
"Nun?" Zi Yi nodded and said in all seriousness, "Then go ahead."
Zi Yi's words caused Li Peirong and Zi Lian's expressions to change.
"How could you speak to your cousin like that?!" Li Peirong educated her. "Lianlian is already so heartbroken. Don't you know how to comfort her?"
"How should I comfort her?" Zi Yi looked at Zi Lian and asked, "You can be upfront about your intentions."
Zi Lian looked at Zi Yi's face which incurred her jealousy. "Yiyi, tell He Fei that the impact of yesterday's incident was too much for you. You drowned your sorrows with alcohol and slept with someone else."
Zi Yi looked at Zi Lian who said those words without the slightest guilt. She was shocked by how shameless she could be.
She remained silent, took out her phone, and called He Fei.
As soon as the call was connected, she said, "He Fei, if you're free now, come to the hotel." Zi Yi spoke calmly before she hung up the phone.
Zi Lian felt a rush of joy deep down.
However, Li Peirong felt strange. She constantly felt that this b*tch would not say that, even though she had called He Fei over.
He Fei arrived at the hotel very quickly. It could be said that he received Zi Yi's call while he was on the way here.
When the doorbell rang, Li Peirong went to open the door.
The moment he entered, he hastily said to Zi Yi, "Yiyi, listen to my explanation."
"The explanation can wait. Let me ask you. Did you get my cousin pregnant last night?"
Zi Lian looked at He Fei in nervousness and uneasiness. After she took the drug last night, other than bodily reactions, her mind was in a blur. She believed it was the same for He Fei.
When He Fei heard her question, he exploded. "Impossible! I didn't even take off my pants last night!"
Chapter 65: If You Win Against Me, I'll Agree To Try out a Relationship With You
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
He Fei's words caused Zi Lian's expression to change from shock to disbelief and lastly, fury. In the end, her face turned ashen, and she started bawling.
Li Peirong was stunned. She looked at He Fei in anger. "Fourth Young Master He, even though Lianlian's family status is not as high as the He family's, you can't trample on my niece like this and refuse to admit your wrongdoings!"
"I am telling the truth!" He Fei was honestly angry. He pointed at Zi Lian. "When I discovered I was drugged last night, I intended to resolve it myself in the restroom. I didn't expect her to follow behind me and tell me about how the woman I liked was unbearable in the past. And that I should choose her instead of Yiyi.
Out of anger, I pulled her inside.
However, she pounced on me the moment the door was shut. At that time, I was drugged and my restraint was almost nonexistent. She then started undressing."
In the end, as she was not someone he liked, he had used a great deal of his restraint to tear her away.
When he thought back to the incident last night, he became furious.
Zi Yi looked at Zi Lian who wore a humiliated expression as if she no longer wished to live and shook her head deep down. She did not understand why ancient people on Earth would go through so many twisted roads to get a relationship. In the interstellar era, the strong were respected. As long as one was strong enough, they could have everything they wanted.
She turned towards He Fei who had an expression of being wronged and decided to use the method which people from the interstellar era would use, on him.
"He Fei, let's talk outside."
Zi Yi then stood up and walked outside with He Fei following behind her.
When they left, Li Peirong looked at Zi Lian with a strange gaze. "Lianian, tell me. Was yesterday's situation as per what He Fei said?"
"I don't know, I don't know... Hic." Zi Lian was extremely panicked. She had been controlled by the drugs then and only wanted to give herself to He Fei. Subconsciously, she felt that he had done something. But when she took a bath last night, she felt something was wrong."
She was already in a panic and now that He Fei had ruthlessly revealed the truth, she was so ashamed that she wanted to dig a hole and hide inside.
Li Peirong knew what had happened from her reaction.
Her expression darkened and she scolded her. "Useless!"
"Hic..." Zi Lian looked up at Li Peirong. She could not believe what she just heard. But when she saw Li Peirong's angry expression, she was shocked.
Why does Aunt Peirong have such an expression?
Li Peirong no longer wanted to pretend in front of her niece. "Since you like He Fei, why didn't you do things more carefully?"
Zi Lian widened her mouth. She was somewhat in disbelief that it was her Aunt who said those words. "Aunt Peirong, you... you support my marriage with He Fei?"
"Of course." Li Peirong caressed her head. "What kind of family is the He family? Based on Yiyi's personality, she would only cause trouble for us if she marries over. You're different. You're well-educated, proprietary-minded, and considerate. If you marry over, you would definitely bring about benefits to the Zi family... Only Ah Xu doesn't understand this."
Zi Lian hastily grabbed Li Peirong's hands. "You mean that you'll support my marriage with He Fei, right? Then you have to help me. If I miss this opportunity, the chance and my reputation will be a goner."
Li Peirong's eyes flickered with a glint and her expression was as if she had no other option but to make a small sacrifice to protect everyone. "Rest assured, I will think of something."
...
Zi Yi had brought He Fei to the hotel's rooftop.
There were many water tanks and solar energy panels on the rooftop.
Zi Yi found a large space, stopped and turned around, and said, "Even though I don't know why you insist on marrying me..."
He Fei was about to interrupt her, when Zi Yi stopped him with her expression.
"But I'm honestly not fond of you, and your actions have caused me trouble. But... I'll give you a chance today. As long as you win against me, I'll agree to try out a relationship with you."
Chapter 66: You Think I'm Weak?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
He Fei had envisioned many possible situations. Nevertheless, he never expected her to ask for a fight.
He subconsciously glanced at her curvaceous figure. He would definitely happily sneak touches from her, if it was a normal situation.
But after the incident yesterday, he felt that this must be a trap.
"No way, I'll never fight with someone who is weak."
Zi Yi narrowed her eyes in displeasure and said, "Defend."
When Hei Fei wanted to defend his vital points out of conditioned reflexes, he sent out a rapid punch.
Bam!
Thud!
Zi Yi looked at He Fei who remained motionless on the ground with a stupefied expression, walked over, raised her foot, and stepped on him. "You think I'm weak?"
The questions 'who am I?', 'where am I?' circulated in He Fei's mind.
When he was unresponsive after some time, she kicked him again. "If you want to be my boyfriend, you must be able to win against me. If you admit your loss right now, we'll head downstairs."
Her words were like an invigorating pill. He Fei tolerated the pain, kicked up his foot, and jumped up.
He looked at her with an excited gaze. "You mean it?"
"Yes."
"Okay then."
He Fei immediately got into a fighting posture. "I'm sorry if I hurt you later."
"Right back at you.'
Zi Yi immediately swung a fist after she said that.
He Fei thought about going easy on her for the first three moves and treated it as playing around. However, he was continuously hit in the first three moves and after the consecutive setbacks, he became competitive.
His blood boiled with indignation.
Nevertheless, despite his serious attitude, he could not receive more than ten hits from her.
Bam!
When his body fell on the ground, He Fei thought, "The woman I like is a hot girl. Why did she suddenly turn into King Kong?!'
1
Zi Yi looked at him condescendingly. "The outcome has been determined. Don't pester me again in the future. I will not marry someone who is weaker than me."
He Fei collapsed on the ground and decided to rest for a while.
Zi Yi then kicked him. "I'll be heading down. Are you coming?"
He Fei closed his eyes as his head buzzed. "I need some peace."
Zi Yi glanced at him, turned around, and walked away as she said, "Then take your time to rest. Also... you're not to tell anyone about what happened today."
He Fei thought to himself, "Such an embarrassing match, if I were to reveal it, I might as well die from shame."
Zi Yi returned to the living room and Li Peirong just happened to have asked the hotel staff to bring up breakfast.
When she did not see He Fei, she asked, "Yiyi, where's He Fei?"
Zi Yi looked at Li Peirong's eyes and noticed the flash of scheming in the depths of them. "He left."
"Left?" Li Peirong frowned. "Why did he leave?"
Zi Lian suddenly pulled open the door, walked out, and asked in an anxious voice, "Why did you let him leave? Call him back!"
"What for?"
Zi Lian shut her mouth, but unabashed anger flashed past her eyes. She fiercely glared at Zi Yi before she returned to her room and slammed the door.
"Yiyi, He Fei misunderstood Zi Lian last night and this matter must be explained clearly. Otherwise, it would greatly impact Lianlian's reputation."
"What does this have to do with me?"
"You... how can you be so selfish?"
Zi Yi curled her lips, and returned to her room.
In the end, He Fei did not return as he had returned straight to the He Family and shut himself in his room. After half a day, he was still yet to recover from the trauma of being bashed around by Zi Yi. He went to find his father. "Father, I don't wish to marry Zi Yi for the time being."
He thought to train himself first before he came back and continued to pursue her.
"Okay."
Master He had sent someone to investigate the relationship between Zi Yi and her grandfather for the past few days. When he heard what He Fei said, he simply agreed.
"The Dou Family's Fourth Young Miss, Dou Xiangling recently returned from abroad. Make some preparations and find ways to get in touch with her.
"What?" He Fei was shocked. "You're telling me to get in contact with Yiyi's cousin?"
"Yes."
Chapter 67: Lunatic
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Li Peirong and Zi Lian's scheme would not succeed if He Fei was absent. For the whole day, they had been on edge.
On the other hand, Zi Xu was feeling refreshed. He went out early in the morning to check out the market in the capital and thought about how he should slowly transfer his assets over so they could grow in value.
The day ended with each of them concerned with only their own thoughts.
The next morning, Zi Xu began to feel anxious when Master He had not called him to ask about his decision. He then said to Li Peirong and the girls, "I'm making a trip to the He family."
Following this, he glanced at Zi Yi's clothing. "Yiyi, change your clothes and wear nicer clothes. He Fei should be fetching you shortly. Go and hang out with him."
Zi Yi remained silent when she saw Zi Xu's happy appearance.
The moment he left, Zi Lian stared at Zi Yi with an expression of hatred. "Since you're not fond of He Fei, why didn't you stop the situation from progressing? You're so scheming."
Zi Yi glanced at her with indifference and could not be bothered to entertain her.
Zi Lian felt that Zi Yi was mocking her and her hatred grew.
"Are you feeling very proud of yourself now? He Fei did not return yesterday and you must have deliberately sent him away. You must be afraid that I will snatch him away."
Zi Yi did not expect that woman to misrepresent the facts to such an extent. She sneered and asked, "What so I should have asked him to stay so that he can be drugged by you again?"
When Zi Lian heard her, her expression became twisted. Her hatred for Zi Yi intensified greatly. "You're just a shameless fox. If not for you, He Fei definitely would have fancied me!"
"Pft, lunatic."
1
Zi Yi could not be bothered to waste her time with Zi Lian. She walked away to her room.
"Zi Yi, you better stay right there!" The thought of Zi Xu bringing the news of Zi Yi's marriage when he returned caused her to lose her reasoning. She took a fruit knife from the table and dashed in her direction.
She wanted to disfigure that face of hers. In that case, He Fei would no longer fancy her!
Li Peirong who had been watching as a bystander saw Zi Lian losing her mind and pretended to be frightened as she said, "Lianlian, what are you thinking of doing to Yiyi? Don't be rash!"
Her feet, on the other hand, seemed to have been rooted to the spot and remained motionless even after a long time had passed.
She originally felt that weaklings were unworthy for her to take action on. However, she saw that the knife was aimed for her face. Since it threatened her safety, she had to abandon her principles for the time being.
Bam!
Thud!
A girl and a knife flew away.
Li Peirong was dumbfounded.
Zi Lian heavily landed against the sofa, toppled it over and fell onto the ground herself. When she felt the intense pain, she reacted with a yell.
Immediately after, she began to cry.
Zi Yi picked up the fruit knife near her feet and walked towards Zi Lian.
At the moment, her whole body exuded a cold aura. Even Li Peirong was shocked by her.
What was that slut intending to do?
Don't tell me she intends to kill Zi Lian? As long as the slut kills Zi Lian, she will be guilty of murder and will have to stay locked up in prison. In that case, no one will fight over the inheritance with Zi Xuan.
When she thought of this, Li Peirong pretended to stop Zi Yi. "Yiyi, don't mess around."
Even though she walked in her direction, she deliberately slowed down.
Zi Yi suddenly tilted and glanced at Li Peirong as she walked straight to Zi Lian's side.
Zi Lian could not move out of pain. When she saw Zi Yi walking over with a knife, she started to panic.
"Ah... what are you doing? What are you planning to do? Don't come over, don't!"
"What do I plan to do?" Zi Yi curled her lips. "What were you planning to do to me earlier? That's what I'm going to do to you!"
Zi Lian screamed and covered her face. "Don't disfigure my face! Ahhh!"
Chapter 68: Since She Likes To Lie Through Her Teeth, I'll Make Her Unable To Do So!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
"Tsk, you're quick at covering your face." She watched the blood dripping from the tip of the knife, then turned to the cut on Zi Lian's hands, and the smile on her lips deepened
She was so ruthless that even Li Peirong was frightened.
That slut really intends to disfigure Lianlian. When did she become so cruel? This slut cannot be kept. What if she does this to Xuanxuan when she returns?
When she thought of this, a malicious glint flashed across her eyes. With lingering fear on her face, she went over to snatch the fruit knife from Zi Yi's hands. She scolded her in a manner as if she could not bear to watch her anymore. "Yiyi, how could you use a knife on your cousin!"
Zi Yi turned towards her and returned the question with a calm face. "Did you not see her coming at me first?"
"Lianlian was just scaring you. How could she possibly harm you for real?"
Since Li Peirong was lying through her teeth, Zi Yi did the same. "I was also scaring her. Who knew she would stretch out her hands towards the knife?"
Li Peirong was lost for words.
Zi Lian released her hands, and accused her as she shouted, "You're lying. You clearly intended to disfigure my face."
"Tsk..."
Zi Yi's click of her tongue caused Zi Lian to tremble out of reflex.
The smile on Zi Yi's lips deepened when she saw Zi Lian's reaction. "Oh, you've realized it. Well, you were right. I did intend to disfigure your face."
"You... you're so vicious!"
"Zi Lian, you seem to have forgotten you were the one who started with this idea first." A sharp glint flickered in Zi Yi's eyes. She raised her hand and gave her a punch.
"Ahh..."
Bang!
"Yiyi, what are you doing?" Li Peirong hurried over to help her up. She saw Zi Lian's rapidly swelling eye and scolded Zi Yi. "Lianlian is already so miserable right now. Why are you still doing this to her?"
"She deserved it."
Zi Yi coldly looked at her. "Since she likes to lie through her teeth, I'll make it so that she's unable to do so!"1
After she said that, she raised her fist once again.
"Yiyi, Lianlian was at fault on this matter. Don't hit her anymore."
Li Peirong hastily said to Zi Lian, "Go to your room. I'll speak with Yiyi."
Zi Lian felt pain all over her body and especially in her eye, and she was eager to leave Zi Yi, that violent woman, as soon as possible. The moment Li Peirong said that, she limped towards her room.
After Zi Lian closed her door, Li Peirong turned to Zi Yi with a complicated expression. "Yiyi, I know you're angry with Lianlian's actions for the past two days."
"But she's your cousin no matter what. She likes He Fei and wants to be with him, there's nothing wrong with that. The mistake is that she used the wrong method and even pushed the blame onto you."
Zi Yi looked at Li Peirong who was so eloquent with her words and asked, "So what do you intend to say? Are you going to ask for me to forgive her for not obtaining He Fei, for pushing all the blame to me, and for even intending to disfigure my face?"
1
"She..." Li Peirong was slightly speechless from the barrage of questions. After a few moments, she continued. "But Lianlian didn't hurt you, right?"
"What if she injured me?" Zi Yi looked into her eyes.
Li Peirong became flustered from her gaze and found it hard to form coherent words.
Zi Yi sneered, turned around, and returned to her room.
Li Peirong's expression instantly turned chilly looking at her back.
Zi Xu returned after an hour or so.
The level of joyous elation he was at when he went out was how livid he was when he returned.
Moreover, he smashed the living room decorations the moment he returned.
"Ah Xu, what's the matter?" Li Peirong watched him smash the items and asked in a worry.
"What's the matter?" Zi Xu's eyes turned red from anger. After he was done with the smashing, he yelled at Li Peirong with a livid expression, "Tell Zi Yi and Zi Lian to come out at once!"
Chapter 69: With A Father Like You, I'd Be Better Off Without One

Zi Xu pointed at Zi Yi's nose and yelled at her the moment she opened her door, "You're a disappointment. I didn't ask you to come with us so you could cause trouble for me. What else are you capable of besides spending my money to eat, drink and fool around?
Fourth Young Master He has taken a liking to you with great difficulty and you actually ended things instead? Let me tell you, you're so useless and you had better work in the company after you return!"
Zi Yi looked at the livid Zi Xu and guessed that He Fei should have come to his senses. However, this father of hers was honestly too much to push all the blame onto her.
When Zi Xu mentioned Zi Yi working in the company, Li Peirong spoke up with an expression that implied she was concerned for Zi Yi. "Ah Xu, why don't we let Yiyi study abroad? Everyone knows that we were supposedly in marriage discussions with the He family and if we return like that, how would the high society in S City look at Yiyi? At that time, her reputation would be ruined."
"That's what she deserves!" Zi Xu snorted coldly. "If she were the slightest bit useful, would the He family suddenly change their mind?"
The more he talked, the angrier he was. "I pampered you too much in the past. Pack your things immediately when we return. I'll let my secretary contact international schools. If I hear any more rumors about you causing trouble there, you don't have to come back."
Zi Yi calmly asked a question, "What if I refuse?"
"You dare? Have you not embarrassed me enough? If you refuse, I will not care about you in the future!"
"Don't forget, you're the one who said this." Zi Yi's lips pursed. "With a father like you, I'd be better off without one."
"You... You..."
Zi Xu raised his hand with the intention of giving her a slap.
Zi Yi grabbed his wrist.
Zi Xu discovered that his eldest daughter's strength was terrifying. He could not free his hand and suddenly gasped in anger. "Zi Yi, you dare to fight back? It seems like I have pampered you too much!"
"I didn't fight back." Zi Yi stared into his eyes and said with indifference, "Because you're my father, I have not fought back. But your behavior has greatly disappointed me... Remember your words and leave me alone in the future."
"Yiyi!"
After that, she released his wrists, took her backpack from the room, and went out the door.
"Yiyi!"
"Yiyi..."
"Don't call for her. If she walks out the door today, I'll treat it as if I don't have a daughter like her!"
Zi Yi did not turn back in the slightest.
Zi Xu was angered by her behavior and directly shouted, "Leave as you wish. Return the bank card. I'd like to see where you can go without money!"
Zi Yi stopped in her tracks, took out the original owner's credit card. She flicked her finger and the card landed on the table. Following this, she continued to walk out.
Her actions nearly caused Zi Xu to faint from anger.
Zi Yi remained in the Zi Family because they were the original owner's family. As an interstellar trooper, it was common for their family members to disappear in the universe and so, everyone had attached great importance to family ties.
When she came to Earth, Zi Yi was greatly disappointed.
She was not someone who could let herself be wronged. Since the owner's family was trash, then she'll just throw them into the bin.
It was ten in the morning when she walked out of the hotel building, with people walking to and fro on the streets and cars flooding the roads.
Zi Yi flagged a cab and said, "To XX road."
Originally, she planned to move to the villa after all the formalities were completed. Right now, she had no choice but to push her plans ahead of time.
This was for the best and she could also reform her courtyard earlier.
However, when the car arrived at the city center, it was suddenly met with a traffic jam.
They were stuck for almost half an hour. Zi Yi checked out what had happened and came to realize that someone important had arrived from abroad. Therefore, the road ahead was closed.
After she paid the fare, she alighted and walked towards the crowd.
Chapter 70: Are You Coming Out Yourselves Or Should I Invite You?

As soon as Zi Yi left, Li Peirong was worried that Zi Xu might soon change his mind and send someone to find her. She deliberately said in a worried tone, "Yiyi was not like this in the past but now she likes to play and spend money. She would be obedient if you hadn't given her the money. Ah Xu, do you think she expected you to send someone to search for her and thus, left?"
Zi Lian added on. "I bet that she must be in the vicinity waiting. I wonder if people from S City will badmouth our family when we return." Having said that, she started bawling.
Zi Xu was already angered by Zi Yi and coupled with Zi Lian's bawling, his expression darkened, and said with a heavy voice, "Pack your belongings. We'll be returning to S City right away."
He was determined to make Zi Yi realize her mistakes this time around.

It did not matter that she was incapable, but she could not even grab onto He Fei. He concluded that he had spoiled her too much in the past.
Zi Xu was a man of his word and really made Li Peirong pack up and leave the capital.
Before Li Peirong left, she hid in the restroom and made a call. "Think of a way to disfigure that slut in the capital."
Zi Lian was unwilling to return and she maliciously thought, "See how I'll ruin your reputation when I return to S City. I'll make it so that you will be spurned by everyone when you return!"

...
Zi Yi went to pick up her car from the racing club, then drove to the largest computer store in the capital.
The best components were considered antiques to her. So she simply purchased all sorts of components and planned to assemble the parts herself when she returned.
With all the parts purchased, it was enough to fill a large truck.
When she returned to the villa with a truck full of spare parts, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
Zi Yi had the deliverymen place the items in one of the rooms.
Shortly after, she went out to eat.
The moment she left, the two intruders occupying her villa had walked out from the backyard.
The skinny man first walked into the room with all the spare parts and revealed an evil smile. "Say, could the woman be the owner of this villa? Tsk... she's really beautiful. It's a pity to kill her straightaway."
The robust man disagreed. "Being swayed by her beauty will result in mistakes being made. It is a disaster to keep a woman like her alive."
"You have a point. But I dislike someone placing these things in front of me. What to do when I feel like destroying them?"
"Then destroy them."
Having said that, they swiftly tore the boxes apart and used their feet to smash the parts.
When the room was in a mess, the skinny man clapped his hands in satisfaction. "This looks much better."
When Zi Yi returned after her meal, it was already seven o'clock in the evening. She intended to assemble a computer for her temporary use.
However, the moment she arrived at the door, she found something amiss.
She increased her pace and pushed open the door. The moment she saw the mess inside, her expression instantly darkened.
Concurrently, she released her mental power and discovered the duo hidden in her backyard.
The duo carried a killing intent.
"Ha! Since you dare to run rampant in my home, then be prepared to feel regret."
She turned around and headed for the backyard.
When she walked in, the opposite living room's gates were wide open. There were no lights switched on, but a killing intent emanated from either side, behind the door.
Zi Yi stopped at the gate. Her voice was calm and carried a strong aura. "Are you coming out yourself or should I invite you out personally?"
The living room was in a state of complete silence.
It was as if no one was there.
However, the killing intent had intensified.
