nZi Xu certainly did not buy what the butler said, but regardless of what Madam He wanted to do to them, he did not have the courage to take his family and leave.

n

n

nZi Xu hoped that Zi Yi could behave.

n

n

nHe replied calmly, “That’s so thoughtful of Madam He.”

n

n

nThe butler felt even more contemptuous towards them as he led the four of them into the villa.

n

n

nBefore they entered, he pretended to remind them out of kindness, “Madam He has invited ladies of the high society today. I heard that Miss Zi tends to be more… lively. I hope she can get a close look at how real ladies interact, so as to avoid any embarrassment.”

n

n

nZi Xu was instantly insulted. Zi Yi was his daughter. No one had the right to discipline her, let alone a little butler.

n

n

nZi Yi looked at Butler Wu from behind and pursed her lips before she suddenly said, “Hang on.”

n

n

nEveryone stopped to look at her.

n

n

nZi Xu was worried that she would make trouble, so he frowned and looked at her threateningly.

n

n

nZi Yi took out a lipstick from her clutch and said unhurriedly, “Sorry. My lipstick accidentally came off, so I need to touch it up a little.”

n

n

nLi Peirong and Zi Lian looked at her strangely. When did she apply lipstick?

n

n

nZi Yi was not seeking permission here. Instead, she opened the lipstick cap and applied the lipstick.

n

n

nShe looked like an innocent fairy without makeup on. The moment she applied her lipstick, her aura instantly changed.

n

n

nShe had a powerful seductive aura that left everyone automatically staring at her lips.

n

n

nZi Yi put her lipstick away before she said to the butler, “All done.”

n

n

nThe butler automatically opened the door for her.

n

n

nThe laughter and chatting in the room surged towards them. In a second, the guests detected their presence and instinctively turned to look at the entrance.

n

n

nThe moment they caught sight of Zi Yi at the door, the women were awestruck.

n

n

nShe was gorgeous!

n

n

nWho was she?

n

n

nWhy had they never seen her before?

n

n

nZi Yi glanced at the swarm of impeccably dressed women in evening gowns before she calmly headed towards Madam He who was facing the door.

n

n

nMadam He was so awestruck by Zi Yi that she only managed to compose herself when Zi Yi was just a few steps away from her.

n

n

nThe moment she composed herself, she was displeased.

n

n

nHow could a merchant’s daughter attempt to intimidate her?

n

n

nDespite her displeasure, she pretended not to know her as she asked her, “And you are?”

n

n

nEveryone snapped out of their daze when they heard what Madam He said.

n

n

nThey were even more surprised by who Zi Yi was.

n

n

nZi Yi smiled ambiguously as she said quizzically, “Didn’t you invite us, Madam He? Why did you invite me if you didn’t know me?”

n

n

nNo one expected Zi Yi to speak this way.

n

n

nIn an instant, the living room fell into silence.

n

n

nThe atmosphere was becoming increasingly awkward.

n

n

nSince Madam He was from a powerful family, she could not allow Zi Yi to gain the upper hand. She smiled graciously and said, “Pardon my memory. Since I had the butler invite you here, you are all my honored guests, Miss…”

n

n

n“Zi Yi.”

n

n

n“Welcome, Miss Zi.”

n

n

nZi Yi nodded before she turned to look at Zi Xu and the others who were in shock.

n

n

nNone of them saw this coming. Zi Yi had spoken so boldly to Madam He!

n

n

nHowever, Zi Xu inexplicably felt triumphant that she took control of the situation.

n

n

nZi Xu strode over and said to Madam He, “Madam He, how do you do? I am Zi Yi’s father, Zi Xu.”

n

n

nMadam He smiled and nodded to him nonchalantly before she suddenly waved at a woman. “Shiya, why don’t you show Miss Zi around?”

n

n

nThe woman called Yang Shiya walked over. “Sure, Aunt He.”

n

n

nShe said to Zi Yi, “Miss Zi, this way, please.”
