nThe invigilator stood behind Zi Yi during the second exam and watched with his eyes open wide as she completed the questions.

n

n

nEveryone looked at her pitifully.

n

n

nThis girl had submitted her test script in 30 minutes in the last exam, so the invigilator must be angry.

n

n

nJust as everyone started to envision Zi Yi losing her slot in the exam, the invigilator suddenly asked, “Are you ready to hand in your script?”

n

n

n“Yes.” Zi Yi capped her pen before she packed up her things and stood up.

n

n

nThe invigilator gave way to her and even made a suggestion as she left, “The exam in the afternoon starts at 2:00 pm. Don’t be late.”

n

n

n“Got it.”

n

n

nThe applicants were speechless.

n

n

nThis was not what they imagined.

n

n

nIt was only 10:30 am when Zi Yi left the exam hall. The moment she took out her phone, she saw notifications for a few missed calls.

n

n

nLi Peirong and He Fei had called.

n

n

nZi Yi glanced at them and wanted to put her phone away, but Li Peirong suddenly called.

n

n

nZi Yi answered the call.

n

n

nLi Peirong’s concerned voice came through the speaker. “Yiyi, the driver said you went shopping. Where are you? Why didn’t you answer my call? You spent the whole night out. Are you trying to worry me to death?”

n

n

nZi Yi trembled in disgust. Earthlings in ancient times were shockingly capable of pretending to be concerned, even if they hated each other.

n

n

nShe was genuinely impressed.

n

n

nShe said nothing, so Li Peirong added, “Don’t be angry with your father. He was a little harsh on you because he is in a bad mood.”

n

n

nA thought suddenly crossed Zi Yi’s mind and she asked, “Aren’t you going back to City S today? Why are you still here?”

n

n

nLi Peirong went quiet briefly before she replied, “How could we go back without you?”

n

n

nZi Yi certainly did not buy a single word. She merely acknowledged what she said before she herself said, “If that is all, I am hanging up.”

n

n

nLi Peirong hurriedly said, “When are you coming back?”

n

n

nLi Peirong neither told her to come back to the hotel immediately nor shared how angry Zi Xu was. Zi Yi just knew that something must have happened.

n

n

nSure enough, Li Peirong finally said, “We will be staying in the capital for a couple more days. Why don’t you come back in the afternoon?”

n

n

nZi Yi acknowledged Li Peirong and hung up.

n

n

nShe hacked into Zi Xu’s phone records and went through the calls he received last night up until this morning.

n

n

nZi Xu had received a call from the He family this morning. It was shockingly a call from He Fei’s father.

n

n

nHe Fei’s father had invited him to tea.

n

n

nZi Yi’s eyes narrowed after she listened to the conversation recording.

n

n

nWhy did He Fei’s father suddenly call Zi Xu?

n

n

nZi Yi could not wrap her mind around what the ancients were thinking and decided to stop pondering about it.

n

n

nIt was still early, so she decided to check out some places near Metropolis University.

n

n

nSince she was going to study here, she needed a place to stay.

n

n

nThere were a lot of real estate agents near Metropolis University.

n

n

nZi Yi checked online to find some reliable real estate agents before she went to one called Elegance.

n

n

nA mother and son were inside the office checking out the real estate. The middle-aged woman was dripping in expensive accessories while her young son was dressed in designer goods. They were clearly nouveau riche1.

n

n

nZi Yi walked in to hear the middle-aged woman questioning the real estate agent. “I want a villa. Why did you recommend houses with a yard? Do I look like I can’t afford a villa?”

n

n

nAll the other real estate agents cast strange looks at the middle-aged woman.

n

n

nThe real estate agent awkwardly explained to her, “Ma’am, you wanted the most expensive real estate in the capital. This property is listed at $1.5 billion.”
