Chapter 34: Run Away From Home
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Li Peirong watched as Zi Yi left. She really wished that Zi Yi would leave and never come home.
Since they were still in the capital, the stupid girl might go to He Fei for help. She quickly calmed her husband down, “She is just a kid. Why do you have to get so angry? She is new in town and doesn’t know her way around. What if something happens to her when she runs out by herself?”
She wiped some tears from her eyes and sounded worried, “She’s such a pretty girl. What if she b.u.mps into bad people out there?”
Zi Xu regretted what he did the moment Zi Yi left. Now that he heard what his wife said, he could not help feeling worried as well. Yet he was unable to humble himself, so he said sternly, “She can leave if she wants to. Get the chauffeur to go with her. I’m sure she’ll come running back tonight.”
…
Zi Yi heard the chauffeur’s voice from behind her when she left the hotel.
“Miss Zi.”
Zi Yi watched as the chauffeur ran over and asked coldly, “Yes?”
“Madam Zi wants you to go back. It’s getting late and it’s not safe outside, so you shouldn’t go out on your own.”
Zi Yi looked into his eyes and hypnotized him with some mental power. “I’m not going back. You can give her a call to tell her you are with me.”
The chauffeur nodded before he pulled out his phone and called Li Peirong.
The moment Zi Xu heard Zi Yi was not coming back right away, he wanted to blow his top again, but Li Peirong appeased him and told the chauffeur to take good care of Zi Yi.
Zi Yi smiled when she heard what Li Peirong said.
After the chauffeur was done with the call, Zi Yi said, “Bring the car over.”
She went straight to a hotel near Metropolis University and checked in.
After dinner, Zi Yi checked on the subjects that Metropolis University offered.
She checked out the most popular faculties but had no interest in them. She contemplated before she decided. “History sounds good. Let’s go with this.”
Since the birth of the interstellar era, a lot of knowledge about earth was lost and Zi Yi happened to have a keen interest in earth.
After selecting her faculty, she casually looked around and checked out the domains that were not open to the public, before she then went to bed.
The next morning, Zi Yi received a call from He Fei.
She was a little surprised. After the scandals broke out yesterday, she thought that the He family would be in chaos today.
He Fei was clearly happy that Zi Yi answered the phone. He asked brazenly, “Something happened at home yesterday, so I wasn’t able to come and find you. Are you mad at me?”
Zi Yi could not be bothered to think about her answer. Instead, she asked rhetorically, “Yes?”
He Fei smiled happily. “Shall I come by and take you racing later?”
Zi Yi wanted to turn him down, but she suddenly recalled Zi Lian’s keen interest in him, so her eyes glinted. Since they were equally irritating, it did not seem a bad idea for them to finish each other off.
At the thought of it, she said, “Sure.”
He Fei was delighted. “Wait for me. I will come by no later than 8:00 pm.”
Zi Yi hung up the phone after saying okay.
After hanging up the phone, she called the chauffeur over and said, “I want to go out. You can go back.”
The chauffeur nodded. “Yes, Miss Zi.”
After breakfast, Zi Yi headed to Metropolis University.
Metropolis University was the top university in the country, so it was the best in terms of school atmosphere, history, size, and influence.
It was May, so the weather was nice.
Everyone was awestruck when the gorgeous Zi Yi entered the Metropolis University’s gates.
“Wow! That girl is gorgeous!”
“I’m sure she isn’t from our school.”
“I really want to ask her for her number.”
Zi Yi disregarded their gazes and found the exam location for independent enrolment.
