Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“She didn’t say, but she seems to be rather anxious.” Li Xia hesitated for a moment and suddenly asked, “Zi Yi, why aren’t you and your younger sister alike at all?”
Instead of answering, Zi Yi asked, “We aren’t born from the same mother, so how could we possibly be alike?”
“I don’t mean that. Even though your appearance doesn’t resemble each other either, what I meant was both your personalities and also…” Speaking of this, Li Xia paused for a moment to think before she continued speaking, “Also the aura that you two give off.”
Zi Yi tilted her head and looked at her. She did not wish to continue the topic of Zi Xuan and so, she said, “We have different upbringings and so, naturally we appear different.”
Zi Xuan had always wanted to win against her and coupled with how Li Peirong also wished for her daughter to succeed, she had forced Zi Xuan into becoming a robot who only knew how to study.
On this point alone, even if the original owner was ignorant and bad at studying, she would only befriend people from the high society within S City. Coupled with the fact that she liked buying luxury goods, her taste was definitely much better than Zi Xuan’s.
After Zi Yi said that, she took out her phone and asked the robot who was disguised as her,
[Are there any movements on Li Peirong’s side?]
Soon, the robot replied to her message, [Nothing at the moment.]
Zi Yi was a little surprised.
Based on Li Peirong’s personality, she would definitely have wanted to take care of her as soon as possible.
She then asked again, [What is Li Peirong doing?]
[Li Peirong has been participating in several dinner parties organized by the high society ladies circle.]
Zi Yi: [What is she planning to do?]
[The other party told her to unite a group of rich ladies to cause trouble at the Song Jewelry and ruin the brand’s reputation.]
At the sight of this message, a sharp glint flashed past her eyes.
She sent the information over to Lu Jingye.
Soon, he replied to her message.
[Got it, I will make arrangements.]
Her lessons in the afternoon ended very soon.
Just as Zi Yi arrived at the parking lot, she saw a silhouette hanging around the area.
The person in question was Zi Xuan.
It gets dark early during the winter and Zi Xuan was wearing a white cotton-padded jacket with her hair let down behind her back. Coupled with the gloomy temperament she was radiating, she looked like a female ghost.
As soon as Zi Yi walked over, she looked at her warily.
Zi Yi gave her a cold look and directly headed for the driver’s seat.
“Zi Yi.”
When Zi Yi placed her hand on the door handle, Zi Xuan finally spoke up. Her voice contained traces of anxiousness. “I want to talk to you.”
Zi Yi looked at Zi Xuan whose hands were nervously fiddling around with the hem of her clothes and obviously appeared to be nervous. She lightly chuckled.
It just so happened that she had spare time today. She originally planned to ignore this pair of mother and daughter. But since they even dared to have designs on the Song Jewelry, then she shall take care of them in passing.
Zi Xuan heard Zi Yi’s chuckle and her heart trembled for no reason. She dared not make eye contact with her and quickly said, “Dad has gotten a lawyer to notarize that he will be giving me all his assets. If you want half of it, follow me to sign some documents.”
Zi Xuan’s train of thought was like this: “Since Zi Yi liked to spend so much, she would definitely agree to follow me if I use that excuse.”
Zi Yi looked at Zi Xuan. She was a little surprised that she did not follow Li Peirong’s arrangements and was directly trying to bring her back.
Zi Yi suddenly asked, “Where’s your mother?”
Zi Xuan did not manage to react at the very first instance and looked back at her with her mouth wide open.
Zi Yi narrowed her eyes and revealed a dangerous glint. “Zi Xuan, do you think I’m stupid or something? Since the will has already been notarized, and father has yet to pass away? Isn’t he the only one that has the right to make amendments?”
In order to make Zi Yi believe her, Zi Xuan tried her best to calm down her heart rate. She said with a taut expression, “Who says so, when dad had the will notarized, I had asked the lawyer and he said that I also had that right.”
Zi Yi stared into Zi Xuan’s eyes. When Zi Xuan was about to show cracks, Zi Yi curved her lips into a smile and said, “Alright then. Anyways, I’ve been eyeing a few racing cars these days but I don’t have the money to buy them.”
She motioned for her after she said that. “Get in.”
Zi Xuan looked at Zi Yi’s racing car and remained rooted to the same spot.
After Zi Yi got in her car, she said, “Since you dare not ride in my car, then I’ll wait for you beneath your apartment. If you don’t arrive in half an hour, I’ll be leaving.”
As soon as she said that, she stepped on the gas pedal and her car immediately drove out.
Zi Yi parked her car outside the neighborhood of Zi Xuan’s apartment. She did not walk in through the main entrance either and instead, she went to a remote area and got Shadow to send her inside.
She then used Zi Xuan’s number to send Li Peirong a message. “Mom, I’ve already tricked her. I got her to head straight to my apartment.”
Li Peirong was currently attending a dinner banquet and she was frightened when she received the message.
“This child, didn’t I say to take care of that little b*tch outside?” She quickly gave Zi Xuan a call, but was unable to get through.
How could Li Peirong still have the mood to stay? She went to chat with the organizer of the party and immediately left in a hurry.
In order to make Zi Yi disappear from in front of her for good, Zi Xuan had also given it her all. She had even ridden the small electric scooter from school back home.
When Zi Yi saw Zi Xuan parking the small electric scooter and using her sleeve to wipe the sweat that trickled down from her forehead, she laughed.
Zi Xuan was a person that appeared to be a nerd. However, when she was jealous of someone, she could be crazier than anyone else.
Zi Yi walked over to Zi Xuan.
When Zi Xuan saw her, she headed inside the apartment building.
Zi Xuan stayed on the eighth floor and the two of them rode on the elevator.
The residential area was a high-end residential area and every floor had two households. On the eighth floor there was an apartment which was clearly still empty, as there was still protective film on the door.
Zi Yi stood beside the door and she saw Zi Xuan’s hand trembling from excitement as she opened the door to her apartment.
Zi Xuan opened the door and switched on the lights.
What was revealed to Zi Yi was the entryway and to the left was a shelf, and on the right side was a shoe cabinet.
Zi Yi’s gaze landed on the shelf. There were several bottles and jars used to decorate the shelf and all of them looked delicate and beautiful. However, when the light illuminated these objects, it inexplicably gave off a chilly feeling.
Zi Yi narrowed her eyes at that.
Walking through the entryway and arriving in the living room, the interior decor was luxuriously decorated in an extremely girly style. There was also a jar placed on the coffee table in front of the sofa.
There were no flower arrangements inside the jar. Instead, it had been covered with a special, thick cover.
When they arrived in the middle of the living room, Zi Xuan stopped and said to her, “Wait here for a moment. “I’ll go grab the documents.”
She headed towards one of the rooms afterwards.
Zi Yi directly went to the floor-to-ceiling window near the sofa and softly said to Shadow, “Inspect this house.”
Shadow soon finished the check.
“There are dangerous objects detected inside. Master, please be careful.”
“Hmph!” Zi Yi turned to look at the jar placed on the coffee table. Those on the shelf and this jar have all been changed.
She then walked towards the door where Zi Xuan had entered and there were sounds of slight movements from behind.
Soon, Zi Xuan took out a document and opened the door.
When she saw Zi Yi standing by the door, she had a fright and subconsciously raised her voice as she asked, “Who told you to stand here?”
Zi Yi glanced at her with her cold gaze. She did not say anything but turned around and walked towards the sofa.
Zi Xuan hastily followed behind her. She placed the document along with a pen on the coffee table. “There are a few areas which require your signature. You can take a look at it first. If there’s no problem, you can go ahead and sign it.”
Zi Yi took the document and read through it.
When Zi Yi’s attention was on the document, Zi Xuan quickly opened the lid to the jar.
