Chapter 1
In City S.
Inside a luxurious supercar club, everyone stood around Siebel's latest supercar, a bright red Tuatara, and sighed in continuous amazement.
The sales manager gestured animatedly as he introduced the car to a stunning woman, who was dressed in a leather jacket and leather skirt. She had a very sensual figure.
"...The Siebel Tuatara's exterior design takes its inspiration from a unique lizard. It comes equipped with a 7.0 litre, V8 supercharged turbo engine. It has a maximum horsepower of 1350 HP and a maximum speed of 443 kilometers per hour. It has a 0-100 acceleration capability of 2.78 seconds."
The manager looked at the rich woman cautiously and asked, "Miss Zi, what do you think of this car?"
Before Zi Yi uttered a word, a young man, who was dressed in a leather jacket beside her, encouraged her and said, "Miss Zi, this is a good car. If you buy it, I'm sure we can beat Young Master Su and the others later."
The rest of the people surrounding them chimed in as well.
"You should totally get this car. It matches your beauty perfectly."
"This car looks so cool. I'm sure you can outdrive them later."
...
The rest of the salespeople craned their necks to watch the scene and furtively looked their way in envy from a corner of the room.
"This must be Miss Zi's fourth time here getting a supercar, right? I wonder what happened to the three cars she previously bought from us."
"I heard they got scrapped."
"Ouch... How could she just scrap those sports cars worth tens of millions? They must be worth hundreds of millions in total!"
"All I can say is that she was born into the right family. Her father is super rich and her step-mother treats her well. I heard Madam Zi dotes on her even more than her biological daughter."
...
Meanwhile, inside the showroom.
Everyone kept saying how cool the sports car was, but Zi Yi said nothing the entire time.
Someone finally detected something amiss with her and pushed her arm.
"What do you think of this sports car?"
Zi Yi stumbled. She glanced at the people around her as she steadied herself. She had just taken in all the memories of the original owner of the body. Despite her shock, she calmly handed her gold card to the manager.
"I'll take it."
"Thank you!" The sales manager beamed brightly and took her gold card, before he strode over to the cashier.
The man dressed in a jacket, Li Xiangnan, beamed brightly at Zi Yi.
"Miss Zi, I will definitely win the race today. Trust me."
Zi Yi liked racing, but she did not dare to do it herself. Instead, she just enjoyed the feeling of winning.
Li Xiangnan was a professional car racer that she had hired to race on her behalf.
After using a sports car worth tens of millions a few times, it would end up being scrapped.
However, Zi Yi did not care. After each car was scrapped, she would buy another one.
Everyone in the racing circles called her stupid behind her back.
The manager shortly came back with her gold card and car key.
Li Xiangnan reached his hand out excitedly to take the key. He felt smug in his heart. So what if she was loaded? She ended up buying sports cars, worth tens of millions, for him to drive.
Just as his hand was about to touch the key, a long slender hand reached out and took the gold card and car key.
The smile on Li Xiangnan's face instantly froze.
Everyone turned to look at Zi Yi in surprise.
Zi Yi walked up to the sports car's scissor door1 and opened it without looking at anyone. She deftly swung her long legs into the low car and closed the door.
Li Xiangnan instinctively placed his hand on the car door and blurted out, "Miss Zi, why did you get into the car?"
"It is my car. Why can't I get in? Let go."
Li Xiangnan automatically let go.
A second later, Zi Yi stepped on the gas, and the car shot out like a thunderous arrow.
Chapter 2
Zi Yi could see those people chasing after her through the rearview mirror. Li Xiangnan was so angry that he stomped his foot.
Zi Yi narrowed her eyes as she pursed her lips; her expression was cold.
Those people just wanted to use her. Only a fool, like the original owner of this body, would be oblivious of it.
Zi Yi was a master of technology from the future. She was playing Interstellar Battle, when she did a space jump and transmigrated into this body which had the same name as her, and ended up in these backward times.
The original owner of the body was clearly brought up badly by her stepmother, who pretended to dote on her.
She was ignorant, infamous, and a privileged brat who always burned through money.
Hence, she ended up in bad company, who sought to ingratiate themselves upon her.
The original owner of the body had a highly revered grandfather and accomplished uncles on her mother's side of the family tree, but her step-mother instigated her to sever ties with them.
In contrast, her stepmother's biological daughter had been well-disciplined since she was young.
Zi Yi could not help scoffing gently when thinking about this. She sure was stupid.
How could she be so blind to her stepmother's evil intentions?
Her phone kept ringing nonstop.
Zi Yi only stopped to answer the phone after she had familiarized herself with the car.
It was Li Xiangnan calling and his voice sounded annoyed.
"Miss Zi, you are supposed to meet Young Master Su and the others at the foot of Mount Li at 3:00 pm. Do you want to miss the race? If you don't go, it will be deemed a loss. Let me remind you that if you lose, you will have to be Young Master Su's woman."
Zi Yi placed her finger on the disconnect button as she said calmly, "Who says I'm not going?"
Since the original owner of the body had made a bet, she was not about to lose.
She disconnected the call.
Zi Yi thought about where she could modify the sports car and drove away.
The fiery red sports car drove on the highway bound for Mount Li. It was so fast that it was quite the sight to behold.
It was currently 10:30 am. Zi Yi drove the car to a sports car service center that was near Mount Li, using the memory of the original owner of the body.
It was called Mount Li Sports Car Service Center.
A group of mechanics were idling around and chatting at the corner of the wall, when they spotted the fiery red Tuatara pulling up. They all whistled in unison.
They stared at Zi Yi dead on when they saw her getting out of the sports car.
"She is certainly made of gold!"
"She's so pretty! Absolutely gorgeous!"
"Fat Sheep lives up to her name as the number one girl that all the rich dudes want to bed. Just look at her figure and face... Tsk tsk!"
They had nicknamed Zi Yi, 'Fat Sheep', behind her back. Every time she visited them, it was enough for them to live lavishly for almost half a year.
All of them ran over to her as though it were a race, every single one of them were thinking about the money.
"Miss Zi, welcome."
Zi Yi watched as they greedily came over and calmly said, "I want to modify this car."
"Miss Zi, what kind of modification do you want? We will definitely do a good job."
The mechanics felt that she must want something entirely cosmetic done and to have more comfortable seats.
"I want the horsepower, speed, and tire friction improved."
"..." The mechanics were speechless.
Did the Fat Sheep even know about these things?
"How do you want the modification done?"
"I want its maximum horsepower to reach 3000 HP, top speed to reach 800 kilometers per hour, 0-100 acceleration capability of one second, and the tires changed to space synthetic ones made of XX."
"...!" The mechanics were stunned.
Was she trying to embarrass them?!
"Are you unable to do it here?"
Zi Yi frowned. She knew that this planet was very backwards, so she had lowered her demands, but they were shockingly unable to give her what she wanted.
"If you can't do it, then just get me some things..."
Zi Yi gave them a list of parts that she needed. She planned on personally modifying the car.
Zi Yi glanced at them unhappily and narrowed her eyes when no one moved a muscle. "Don't you have those things either?"
They were taken aback by the coldness in her eyes.
Wang Gang pushed Ju Nan and whispered, "Stay here with her. I will get the boss to come over." Then he ran inside.
Chapter 3
On the second floor of Mount Li Sports Car Service Center.
The atmosphere inside the office, which was filled with all kinds of supercar models, felt intense due to the person sitting inside.
He Fei was one of the most infamous young men of the capital's elite circles. He was accustomed to living without a care and was not even afraid of his father. He suddenly decided to open a supercar service center here, so he up and left his family home.
The only person he was intimidated by was this young man sitting in his office, Lu Jingye. His aura was very powerful, even if he did not say a word.
Lu Jingye was the second son of the Lu clan. He was 26 and looked striking and dignified. He was incredibly capable and was the rising star of his generation. Out of respect, everyone in their generation called him, "Second Older Brother."
Also, he was so handsome that even a straight guy like him felt jealous of his good looks.
He Fei could not stand Lu Jingye's all-knowing eyes. He straightened his uneasy legs and probed him. "Second Older Brother, what are you doing in City S?"
"It was on the way," said Lu Jingye succinctly.
"Erm... What brings you to my shop...?"
"Uncle He wants me to tell you that if you don't go back to get married, he will send his men to tear your shop apart."
"..." He Fei felt powerless.
Lu Jingye looked at He Fei with his deep eyes. "Uncle He wants you to come back with me."
He Fei parted his lips but before he managed to speak, someone barged into the office and the door swung open loudly.
Bang!
"Boss, bad news. Fat Sheep..."
The moment Wang Gang barged into the office, he made eye contact with Lu Jingye's calm and stern eyes, and instantly trembled in shock.
He Fei was instantly delighted to see Wang Gang. He quickly acted angry as he hinted to Wang Gang. "Can't you see I have a guest? Are you trying to be rude?"
Wang Gang caught He Fei's hints. Lu Jingye looked at him with a powerful aura radiating from him, so he stammered, "B-boss, Fat Sheep... No, Miss Zi is causing trouble."
"Is it the girl from the Zi family? What kind of trouble could she possibly cause?" He Fei furtively glanced at Lu Jingye as he spoke. Lu Jingye might lose his patience and leave right away.
Wang Gang hurriedly said, "She wants the car modified and for its maximum horsepower to reach 3000 HP, top speed to reach 800 kilometers per hour, 0-100 acceleration capability of one second, and the tires changed to space synthetic ones made of XX."
"..." He Fei went quiet for a few seconds before he questioned, "Is she trying to make trouble?"
He turned to look at Lu Jingye and pretended to be in a tight spot. "A big client is here. She is special since she is Old Master Dou's granddaughter!"
However, Old Master Dou had spread the word that he was no longer having anything to do with her but Lu Jingye didn't know that.
Lu Jingye contemplated for three seconds. "I will give you 30 minutes."
He Fei's eyes glinted. If things dragged on for over 30 minutes, Lu Jingye might end up leaving out of impatience. That way, he would be a free man.
"Erm... Why did you stand up?"
He Fei was stunned when Lu Jingye suddenly stood up.
Lu Jingye sounded determined. "I will go with you. We will leave right away after you fix the car."
"..." He Fei felt powerless.
...
The three of them went downstairs to the lounge but there was no one there. He Fei became anxious. Just as he was about to ask, he saw a mechanic running back in from the workshop.
He Fei hurriedly shouted, "Zhang Minghua, where is Miss Zi?"
Zhang Minghua was on his way to get those things that Zi Yi wanted. The moment he saw the three of them, he halted and said excitedly, "Miss Zi is in the workshop modifying her Siebel Tuatara."
He trotted off quickly to get the things.
He Fei could not believe his ears. He explained to Lu Jingye, "Don't mind them. They tend to talk like that."
He Fei led Lu Jingye to the workshop and he was struck dumb when he caught sight of the scene inside.
Chapter 4
The Siebel Tuatara's hood was open and a woman with a hot body was bent over and holding a tool in her hand as she worked on the engine.
She was wearing a short leather skirt, so the moment she bent over, her long straight legs came straight into view and the skirt wrapped around her bottom even more.
It made his imagination run wild and blood madly rushed through his body.
"You are having a nosebleed."
He Fei automatically touched his nose when someone softly reminded him. The moment he felt the blood, he cursed. How could he embarrass himself in front of Lu Jingye?
He Fei awkwardly said to Lu Jingye, "Don't misunderstand. I am just feeling a little light headed. Hang on. Let me go wash up."
He turned and ran towards the bathroom.
Lu Jingye veered his eyes away from He Fei and looked at the woman's silhouette that was outlined by the fiery red car, before he walked over.
The mechanics that were passing her the tools sensed someone's presence, so they turned around to look in unison.
They were instantly stunned by his powerful aura.
"Piston ring pliers."
Zi Yi reached her hand out without even looking back.
A few seconds later, no one passed her the tool, so she angrily turned around only to make eye contact with a pair of deep eyes.
She instinctively scrutinized him.
The man was dressed in a suit. He was tall, handsome, and gave off a dignified aura.
Zi Yi quizzically asked, "Are you the boss?"
The original owner of the body had visited the workshop a few times. However, she found the place dirty and waited in the car each time. Since she left it all to Li Xiangnan, she had never met the boss before. She only remembered someone mentioning that the boss came from an important family.
Lu Jingye pursed his lips without replying as he looked at the gorgeous and confident woman, who was wearing her hair in a high ponytail. There was some engine oil on her face, her brows were raised slightly, and she had thick makeup on.
Zi Yi was in a hurry, so she assumed he was the owner of the workshop when he did not reply. "Perfect timing. Your employees weren't able to find the tools I needed, so you have to help me."
He Fei's eyelids twitched the moment he heard this when he came back.
How could this woman have the audacity to order Lu Jingye around?
He hurriedly strode over.
Lu Jingye suddenly asked, "I heard you want its maximum horsepower to reach 3000 HP, top speed to reach 800 kilometers per hour, 0-100 acceleration capability of one second, and the tires changed to space synthetic ones made of XX."
"Uh huh."
Zi Yi went to take the piston ring pliers and went under the hood again. "I know you can't do it, so I just need you to assist me."
She added, "After I remove the parts, bring the gearbox top over. I want to hang the engine up. Also, get your staff to bring the parts I want asap."
"Okay."
"Second..." He Fei watched in shock as Lu Jingye undid his suit jacket buttons and completely forgot what he wanted to say.
Lu Jingye took off his suit jacket and handed it to He Fei. "Take this."
He Fei was stunned, "...!"
Zi Yi kept modifying the car until 2:00 pm.
After she was done, she noticed that only the man who had assisted her looked normal, as he walked over to the basin in the bathroom to wash his hands. Everyone else was staring at her in a daze as though they had seen a ghost.
Zi Yi frowned. She suddenly recalled that the original owner of this body had a bad reputation, so these people must be judging her.
Zi Yi did not take it to heart. She walked over to the basin as well.
Zi Yi only noticed that the man was a head taller than her as they washed their hands in the basin, so she casually asked, "How tall are you?"
"188 centimeters."
Zi Yi nodded as she pressed for some hand soap and washed her hands.
The man reminded her, "Your face is very dirty."
Zi Yi contemplated, before she said to the other people standing in the workshop, "Can someone bring me my purse?"
He Fei hastily snapped out of his daze. An indescribable sense of excitement rose in his heart as he asked the mechanics where her purse was, before he hurriedly retrieved it for her.
Zi Yi took her purse and retrieved some makeup remover wipes to clean her face.
The moment her makeup was removed, He Fei was awestruck.
A look of surprise even swept across Lu Jingye's eyes.
Chapter 5
Ung!
He Fei was unaware that he loudly swallowed his saliva as his heart palpitated.
He clearly fancied her.
He could not help praising her, "Miss Zi, you look very pretty without makeup on."
Zi Yi and Lu Jingye turned their heads sideways and looked at him.
He Fei blushed when Zi Yi looked at him with her confident and calm eyes.
He did not expect the woman before him... No, correction... Zi Yi was clearly just a girl without her makeup on. Now that her thick makeup was removed, she had even more exquisite features and a flawless complexion. She was totally his type!
Zi Yi veered her eyes to look at Lu Jingye as she took out her gold card and said, "Put it on my card and get me some food."
There was one more hour to go before it was 3:00 pm, so she had to hurry over.
"It's free."
He Fei finally recalled he was the real boss here. He struck a pose as he brushed his bangs backwards and acted cool. "If you give me your number, you can have the parts for free."
Zi Yi first looked at He Fei dressed in a pair of jeans and a vest top with a pendant and chain hanging from his neck, looking like a rogue. Then she looked at the mature-looking Lu Jingye dressed in a suit and black shirt. She felt that He Fei was an attention-seeker.
She checked her wristwatch and rushed Lu Jingye, somewhat impatiently. "I have somewhere to go. If you need time to do the math, I will come back and pay after I am done. You don't have to be worried about payment."
Since the original owner of the body was known as a big spender, Zi Yi was certain that the workshop owner would be understanding about payment.
"No..." He Fei felt anxious.
She was deeply mistaken!
How could he hit on her without at least having some status?
Lu Jingye took her gold card, handed it to He Fei, and spoke in a non-negotiable tone, "Swipe her card and get her some food."
He was keenly aware of He Fei's personality. Since he had promised his father to bring him home, he was not about to give He Fei the chance to hit on girls now.
"I..."
"Hurry up."
He Fei spinelessly succumbed to Lu Jingye's intimidating aura and took the card before heading to the cashier.
After leaving the workshop area, he muttered, "Do you think that's going to stop me from hitting on her? The Zi family..."
He Fei suddenly touched his chin as he contemplated, "Although they have a lower status, her grandfather was highly respected. If I fought for it, I might just succeed."
Since he had to get married, he should pick a woman he loved.
Zi Yi and Lu Jingye stood there and waited for a while until her phone suddenly rang.
It was Li Xiangnan calling.
Li Xiangnan asked right away, "Miss Zi, you have one more hour before it is 3:00 pm. Everyone is waiting for you at the foot of Mount Li. Are you still going to race?"
Zi Yi replied, "I'll be right over."
A rascally voice came through the phone, "Don't put up a fight and just be my woman. There is no way your racer can win against me. Hahaha!"
Zi Yi spoke calmly before she hung up the phone, "Who said he is the one you are competing against?"
She looked up and made eye contact with Lu Jingye's deep dark eyes.
Zi Yi pondered before she said solemnly, "Although your skills as a mechanic are lousy, you have a lot of parts available. I might come by more often from now on. Can you get these things for me? Price isn't a problem."
Lu Jingye looked at her eyes. Since she was Old Master Dou's granddaughter, she should not get distracted from her studies.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're in senior high. Since you're a student, you should focus on school."
Zi Yi frowned unhappily. "You are not only a lousy mechanic, but you are also a busybody."
Lu Jingye went quiet.
When he came back, He Fei was speechless, "..."
