Zi Yi waited until everyone had left the entrance before she walked over.
The living room was empty.
It was evident that everyone had gone to the inner quarters to watch the show.
She 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.
“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.”
“Exactly. I have never seen anyone as shameless as her.”
“Maybe she seduced He Fei using her good looks.”
“Where do you think she has gone? Why aren’t they able to find her after so long?”
“Perhaps she hid when she realized everyone was looking for her?”
“How could the He family let such a scheming woman marry their son?”
“Who are you talking about?”
“We are talking about…”
Zi Yi smiled as she looked at the woman who suddenly stopped talking.
All the women looked at her as though they had seen a ghost.
Zi 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?”
The women continued to look at her as though they had seen a ghost.
Zi Yi glanced at them coldly before she took out her phone and called Zi Xu.
Madam He had not allowed Zi Xu and the others to contact her and tip her off.
Zi Xu was stunned when his phone suddenly rang.
Madam He looked at him angrily.
Her looks left Zi Xu fuming, so he decided to take out his phone altogether. The moment he saw the screen, he was shocked.
Li Peirong could not bear Madam He’s looks either, so she asked, “Who’s calling?”
“Yiyi.”
Everyone turned to look at his phone.
Madam He frowned before she said to Butler Wu, “Locate her GPS.”
Butler Wu reached his hand out to Zi Xu. “Mr Zi, please give me your phone.”
Zi Xu instinctively rejected Zi Yi’s call.
Madam He looked angry.
“Mr Zi, what is the meaning of this?”
“I…”
Just as Zi Xu was about to speak, his phone rang again.
This time, Butler Wu promptly snatched the phone from his hand and located Zi Yi’s GPS location.
The moment the GPS location appeared, a look of shock appeared on Butler Wu’s face.
He 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?”
Zi Yi’s cold voice said, “I’m at the back door watching the man-hunt.”
Everyone instinctively turned to look at the back door.
They were shocked to see Zi Yi standing there, pursing her lips.
“When did she get there?”
He 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?”
Zi Xu, Li Peirong, and Zi Lian looked at Zi Yi nervously.
Zi 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?”
Madam He looked awkward and was furious inside.
He 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.”
The moment he finished his sentence, he wanted to take Zi Yi and leave, but she took two steps backwards.
She said, “Young Master He, we are hardly friends.”
She turned to leave. Her footsteps were so decisive and confident that everyone instinctively made way for her exit.
