n“I will lend you the money.”

n

n

nZi Lian realized that she might have come off too enthusiastic, so she paused and said, “Money isn’t important. All that matters is that you have a good time there.”

n

n

nZi Yi instantly looked tempted by the offer but she did not agree to go.

n

n

nZi Lian looked at her face and continued to tempt her. “I heard that their races take place in the morning. We can just tell Uncle Xu and Aunt Peirong that we are going shopping. I am sure they will let us go.”

n

n

nAfter some time, Zi Yi finally said, “Fine.”

n

n

nShe hurriedly chased Zi Lian away. “I’m going to bed.”

n

n

nSince Zi Lian and Zi Yi had little contact with each other, they were not close. Now that Zi Lian had gotten what she came for, she did not want to linger in the room any longer, so she said goodnight and left.

n

n

nThe moment she closed the door, Zi Yi checked online about the race happening tomorrow.

n

n

nThe race was organized by two men from powerful families. The bets were huge and consisted of a bar and club.

n

n

nOther than the bankers, it was open to the public as well and many people had betted on it.

n

n

nZi Yi smiled when she saw this.

n

n

nPeople were sending her money just when she needed it, so there was no reason for her to hold back.

n

n

nThe next day.

n

n

nAfter breakfast, Zi Lian told Zi Xu and Li Peirong, “Uncle Xu, Aunt Peirong, I want to take Yiyi out shopping and do some facials together.”

n

n

nZi Xu did not look receptive to the idea but Li Peirong wanted Zi Yi to experience the temptations the capital had to offer and get into trouble, so she agreed, “Xu, why don’t you let them go out and have some fun. You can’t keep Yiyi holed up in the hotel the entire time, right? If she gets bored, you will end up worried.”

n

n

nZi Xu recalled what his wife mentioned about his daughter acting abnormally when they went to bed last night. He was worried she was just keeping a low profile for now and would embarrass him when they went to the He family, so he told Zi Yi, “You can go out, but you can’t make trouble. Also, come back before noon.”

n

n

nZi Yi pursed her lips without saying a word, so everyone thought she was reluctant to come back so early.

n

n

nZi Xu looked angry. “If you don’t promise me, then stay at the hotel.”

n

n

nLi Peirong hurriedly glanced at Zi Yi. “Just promise your father that you’ll behave. We are in the capital and not in City S. There are many people that we can’t afford to offend. After you are married to Young Master He, you can do anything you want.”

n

n

nZi Xu’s expression finally softened. “Your mother is right. If you marry Young Master He, you can do anything you like.”

n

n

nZi Yi finally replied, “Okay.”

n

n

nZi Xu was happy with her response. “Lianlian, look after her.”

n

n

n“Okay, Uncle Xu.”

n

n

nThe moment they left the hotel together, Zi Lian smiled as she said, “Was my excuse good or what?”

n

n

nZi Yi glanced at her. “Aren’t we going to the races? Let’s go!”

n

n

nZi Lian quickly suppressed the smile emerging on her face when she saw how enthusiastic Zi Yi was. She whispered, “Hang on. We need to shake off the chauffeur first, or else Uncle Xu will find out and get angry.”

n

n

nZi Lian had already planned how to get there. First, they would get the chauffeur to send them to the city square, where they would shake him off, before heading to the international race track at the capital.

n

n

nThe international race track was on the northern side of the capital and was the most advanced and challenging F1 track in the country.

n

n

nBy the time they made it there, countless cars had already pulled up outside the racetrack. Everyone looked like privileged people from wealthy families as they entered through the racetrack entrance.

n

n

nSince Zi Lian had never experienced car racing before, she always felt that it was meant for privileged brats, but now she was awestruck. “I can’t believe so many people turned up for the race.”

n

n

nZi Yi glanced at her before she opened the cab door and got out.
