nZi Yi waited until everyone had left the entrance before she walked over.

n

n

nThe living room was empty.

n

n

nIt was evident that everyone had gone to the inner quarters to watch the show.

n

n

nShe took out her phone and swiped it quickly a few times before putting it away and heading towards the inner quarters. Just as she walked up to the door, she heard a few women standing there gossiping as they gloated.

n

n

n“Her family is just a small merchant’s family. The only thing businessmen care about is money. She is certainly eager about marrying into the He family.”

n

n

n“Exactly. I have never seen anyone as shameless as her.”

n

n

n“Maybe she seduced He Fei using her good looks.”

n

n

n“Where do you think she has gone? Why aren’t they able to find her after so long?”

n

n

n“Perhaps she hid when she realized everyone was looking for her?”

n

n

n“How could the He family let such a scheming woman marry their son?”

n

n

n“Who are you talking about?”

n

n

n“We are talking about…”

n

n

nZi Yi smiled as she looked at the woman who suddenly stopped talking.

n

n

nAll the women looked at her as though they had seen a ghost.

n

n

nZi Yi curiously glanced at the crowd in the yard and stood behind the door without coming out as she deliberately asked, “All I did was use the bathroom. Has something major happened in the He family? Who seduced Young Master He?”

n

n

nThe women continued to look at her as though they had seen a ghost.

n

n

nZi Yi glanced at them coldly before she took out her phone and called Zi Xu.

n

n

nMadam He had not allowed Zi Xu and the others to contact her and tip her off.

n

n

nZi Xu was stunned when his phone suddenly rang.

n

n

nMadam He looked at him angrily.

n

n

nHer looks left Zi Xu fuming, so he decided to take out his phone altogether. The moment he saw the screen, he was shocked.

n

n

nLi Peirong could not bear Madam He’s looks either, so she asked, “Who’s calling?”

n

n

n“Yiyi.”

n

n

nEveryone turned to look at his phone.

n

n

nMadam He frowned before she said to Butler Wu, “Locate her GPS.”

n

n

nButler Wu reached his hand out to Zi Xu. “Mr Zi, please give me your phone.”

n

n

nZi Xu instinctively rejected Zi Yi’s call.

n

n

nMadam He looked angry.

n

n

n“Mr Zi, what is the meaning of this?”

n

n

n“I…”

n

n

nJust as Zi Xu was about to speak, his phone rang again.

n

n

nThis time, Butler Wu promptly snatched the phone from his hand and located Zi Yi’s GPS location.

n

n

nThe moment the GPS location appeared, a look of shock appeared on Butler Wu’s face.

n

n

nHe Fei had just come back from searching elsewhere. He snatched the phone and took a look when he saw the look of shock on the butler’s face. In an instant, he slid his finger over the phone and picked up the call. He laughed as he said, “Yiyi, where are you?”

n

n

nZi Yi’s cold voice said, “I’m at the back door watching the man-hunt.”

n

n

nEveryone instinctively turned to look at the back door.

n

n

nThey were shocked to see Zi Yi standing there, pursing her lips.

n

n

n“When did she get there?”

n

n

nHe Fei promptly rebuked them, “Everyone is here searching for her. What makes you think she could have gotten past everyone to enter the villa undetected?”

n

n

nZi Xu, Li Peirong, and Zi Lian looked at Zi Yi nervously.

n

n

nZi Yi walked over and looked at Madam He and asked, “I heard you sent men to search for me. Why bother inviting me over if you are so suspicious of me? Are you purposely trying to embarrass us?”

n

n

nMadam He looked awkward and was furious inside.

n

n

nHe Fei walked in front of Zi Yi and said to his mother, “I didn’t expect you to treat the woman I like so poorly! Let me make it clear. It doesn’t matter whether you like her or not. The important thing is that I do.”

n

n

nThe moment he finished his sentence, he wanted to take Zi Yi and leave, but she took two steps backwards.

n

n

nShe said, “Young Master He, we are hardly friends.”

n

n

nShe turned to leave. Her footsteps were so decisive and confident that everyone instinctively made way for her exit.
