The Mysterious Heiress: Researcher In Disguise-Novel2

Chapter 423: Ye San Go To Yu City, President Fu Gives Present To Ouyang Ya

Fu Zhi felt the same way as Liu Mi as well. She tugged at Lu Nanli’s sleeve, whose expression was sour, and asked, “What happened? You’ve gotten what you wanted, so why are you still not happy?”

“Think for yourself.”

Fu Zhi fell silent and thought hard for roughly 10 minutes. After Lu Yumo had finally calmed himself down outside of the haunted house, he psyched himself up and went into the haunted house again to rescue Fu Zhi, who he assumed to be held hostage by ghosts and monsters.

Liu Mi came out of the car to leave the space for Fu Zhi and Li Nanli.

Inside the car, Li Nanli did not plan to talk to Fu Zhi at all. He sat with his back up against the cushion while keeping his eyes on the passersby outside, the warm light from the headlight of the car and the streetlights had cast a halo of yellow light on them.

Suddenly, Fu Zhi seemed to have realized something and she said, “Is it because I joined the cheerleading team?”

“Hmm...” Li Nanli’s expression lightened a bit. “Not exactly.”

‘Not exactly? That means I’m half right?’

Fu Zhi felt that reading the mind of a man was like searching for a needle under a sea.

“Then?” She asked again.

Not far away, Wang Yu and his team finally came out of the haunted house through the roller coaster, their shouts ringing through the air.

Li Nanli pulled an umbrella from the side of the passenger seat. As he handed the umbrella to Fu Zhi, he pulled her into his embrace and rested his chin on her shoulder, his breath warm and wet against her ear.

The snow became heavier, and Fu Zhi could see through the window that her friends were doing headcount under the roof.

“If your brother and your boyfriend fall into the sea at the same time, who would you save first? Your brother, or your boyfriend?” Li Nanli’s voice wafted into Fu Zhi’s ear.

Fu Zhi was speechless.

‘Great, here comes the tricky question.’

Fu Zhi then replied with a question of her own, “Isn’t it supposed to be my boyfriend and my mother?”

“I’ll amend my question. If your brother, your mother, and I fall into the sea at the same time, who would you save first?”

Fu Zhi’s eyes were glowing as she replied, “In fact, according to the new law that the government has just introduced not long ago, I don’t have the obligation to save you, but I’m breaking the law if I don’t save my mother!”

“That means you don’t love me enough,” Li Nanli said expressionlessly, “You’re not willing to break the law for me.”

Fu Zhi became speechless again.

‘Should I break the law for you?’

Li Nanli ran his fingers over her eyebrows and said, “I will forgive you this time, next time...”

“Next time, I will save you after I saved my mom,” Fu Zhi answered before Li Nanli could finish his sentence.

Li Nanli nodded in satisfaction, and just when he was about to say something, she continued, “Well, even my brother, who is bad at everything, knows how to swim, so I suggest you’d better don’t go so near the river next time.”

Li Nanli was stumped.

When Ye Jiu came out of the haunted house, he saw Fu Zhi and he froze.

He did not blame Fu Zhi for leaving him alone in the haunted house, but...

Ye Jiu went forward and pinched Fu Zhi’s chin. His beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as he asked, “What happened? Why is there a wound on your lips?”

“Huh? Oh... I accidentally bit my lips when I was drinking milk tea,” Fu Zhi replied. However, Ye Jiu was able to tell that she was lying from the fact that her ears were red and she did not dare to look him in the eyes.

“Liar,” Ye Jiu said as he pointed at Fu Zhi’s head.

Fu Zhi raised her head and replied with a serious voice, “I’m not lying.”

“Tsk,” Ye Jiu clicked his tongue. He did not say anything anymore and leaned over to Fu Zhi. Then, he sniffed her shoulder like a dog looking for drugs.

The weather was cold in winter, and a thin mist would form whenever he took a breath.

Then, he pinched at the back of Fu Zhi’s neck.

“What are you doing? Let go of me,” Fu Zhi said as she tried to push him away.

“Don’t move,” Ye Jiu warned, “I have reason to suspect that you have a boyfriend outside.”

Fu Zhi froze.

Ye Jiu took another sniff and said in a grave voice, “Don’t let me find out that you’re seeing someone or you are buying things for him or her. If I don’t have enough money to buy milk tea, I will break your bank card, you hear me?”

Fu Zhi’s eyes rounded in disbelief.

This was even worse than breaking her legs!

——

The Lu Family imposed a nighttime curfew on their children. They had to be home before 10 o’clock at night.

As such, Song Fang, Fu Zhi, Lu Yubai, Lu Yumo, and Ye Jiu did not go to the karaoke and took a taxi home directly.

While they were on their way home, the more Ye Jiu thought about it, the more he felt Fu Zhi was hiding something from him.

Therefore, he opened up his WeChat and sent a message to Ye Shiyun, [You know what? I suspect that Fu Zhi is seeing someone.]

*

A certain filming location in Z City.

It was very late at night, yet the filming location was filled with light. There were plenty of flowers in the corridor, and the air was permeated with the fragrance of flowers.

The assistant director ran all the way down the corridor hurriedly as he asked, “Where’s the actress? Did you guys send someone to remind her? Why hasn’t she come yet?”

The producer replied, “She said she’s not feeling well and she wants to rest today.”

“No! I don’t care what you guys do, you have to make sure she will be here tonight!” The assistant director said, his voice filled with anxiety. “That person is already here. He has waited for more than 10 minutes, and he’s not happy right now!”

The movie was a historical film directed by a relatively well-known new producer. Today was the first day of the making, and the luxurious palace was filled with actors and actresses. The several leading actors had a big background, so the producer was not sure which one the assistant director talked about. He asked, “Who?”

The assistant director rolled his eyes and said, “Ye San. Ye Shiyun.”

‘Oh, that one,’ The producer nodded. Then, he replied, “Just tell him to stop making such a big fuss and wait a little longer. He is the worst actor with the worst acting skills I’ve ever seen, and all his fans are brainless. Without them, he’s nothing. Besides, I remember Guang Yuan dissed him on Weibo several days ago? He even said that if Ye San doesn’t quit acting, then he will quit.”

“So what? Do you know who is supporting Ye San from the back? The Fu Corporation! Anyway, try to get the actress here as soon as possible!” The assistant director waved his hand frustratingly. “I’ve to go back to him now.”

When the assistant director rushed back to the set, Ye Shiyun was looking at his phone on a chair.

The light shone on his face and made him look even fairer.

The assistant director could understand why so many fans still loved Ye Shiyun despite his poor acting skills. After all, he would arrive at the set on time, which was something that many actors were not able to do.

Tapping on his phone, Ye Shiyun sent a “?” to Ye Jiu.

Ye Jiu replied, [Whoever that guy is, I suspect that he gets close to her because he wants her money, and considering Fu Zhi’s intellect, I’m sure she will give all her money to that guy.]

Looking at Ye Jiu’s message, Ye Shiyun pressed his lips thin and replied, [So are you saying that someone is scamming Fu Zhi out of her savings?]

[Yes! He took all the money that Fu Zhi was going to use to buy me milk tea!]

[Did she tell you anything about it?] Ye Shiyun asked again.

[Hah, of course, she told me something about it. She told me that I’m being delusional and she isn’t seeing anybody! I’m confident she’s lying to me. She must have given a few bank cards to that guy! I can buy at least tens of thousands of cups of milk tea with that money!]

Ye Shiyun scoffed expressionlessly, [That’s it? That’s the reason you messaged me? Do you know how much I can earn while I’m talking to you right now?]

Ye Jiu was speechless.

Ye Shiyun continued, [Give me her bank account numbers. I will transfer some money to her, so stop texting me.]

Ye Jiu was speechless again.

[Alright, then. You don’t come and cry at me when your sister gets cheated out of her money, her body, and her heart!]

Ye Shiyun fell silent after seeing Ye Jiu’s message. Then, he remembered that there were a lot of girls who committed suicide after getting cheated recently.

‘Should I transfer money to her? But, is Fu Zhi’s mind that weak?’

Well, Fu Zhi did not have a weak mind, but things happened.

To prevent Fu Zhi from dying early, Ye Shiyun decided to go to Yu City to have a look at Fu Zhi tonight.

With that thought in mind, Ye Shiyun rose to his feet and took his jacket from the hanger.

It was only then the assistant director recovered his senses from his reverie. He walked up to Ye Shiyun in panic and asked, “Where are you going?”

“Yu City.”

“Yu City?! When will you be back? The leading actress is arriving soon, so why...”

“I don’t like people who are not punctual. It’s not very professional,” Ye Shiyun commented, “If she doesn’t change her behavior, you guys can just photoshop my face into the film.”

The assistant director did not know what to say.

However, it seemed to him that there was still some room for negotiation. He walked up to Ye Shiyun and pressed on, “Did something happen in Yu City? Do you need me to send someone to help you?”

“The kid in my family is going through a rebellious phase,” Ye Shiyun replied expressionlessly as he put on his jacket. “So I’m going back to punish her. As for you, why do you think you are to mess with my family affair?”

The assistant director became speechless again.

——

It was Friday when Hang Yuan went to No.1 High School, and they had two days off on Saturday and Sunday.

The atmosphere in the Mu Family was tense.

Mu Changqing was facing a lot of problems recently and Mu Chenxi was worried about his father.

Mu Changqing had been trying his best to get to Pure Feather but to no avail. After all this time, he had to admit that, like her daughter said, Pure Feather and Fu Zhi were good friends, and it was exactly because of Fu Zhi that Pure Feather did not want to cooperate with them.

After he heard Ouyang Ya’s plan, he nodded and said, “I remember you have Ye Shiyun’s WeChat, right? Well, try to invite him over to Yu City. Tell him that we have a job for him, and I will take care of the rest.”

“Don’t worry, dad,” Mu Chenxi said, “I already asked Ye Shiyun to come to Yu City. Although he isn’t good at acting, he behaves well when he’s working. He left his phone at a side when he’s working, and I assure you that he will definitely come to Yu City when he sees my message.”

****

It had been snowing for a whole night, and the entire Yu City was covered in a blanket of white on Monday.

Fu Zhi, Lu Yumo, and Ye Jiu arrived at No.1 High School at the same time.

The students from Hang Yuan had been received by their teachers, and they settled them down in the class.

Perhaps Class 21 was the worst class in No.1 High School, none of the exchange students came to Class 21.

Initially, Fu Zhi wanted to read Ouyang Feng’s notebook, but before she could do it, the school authority summoned all of them to the hall for an assembly. After the assembly, they were going to visit the museum at Yu City.

Su Xing was reading the book “Red Sun” in her seat, as No.1 High School required their students to read a book before the class started.

Their language teacher, Fan Gaoda, was suddenly appointed as a guide by Director Liu to take the students in the school to visit the museum. action

Fan Gaoda was in his mid-forties and compared to Ma Mingquan, who had a good temper, he was kind of erratic. He liked to tease and mess with his students.

Director had considered a lot before assigning him to be the guide.

Most of the students had not been to the museum before.

The museum was small, but it contained a lot of artifacts.

Fan Gaoda had prepared a script for himself and he was looking through it in front of Class 21.

Before they departed to the museum, every student in the school had to gather in the hall in advance to listen to Director Liu’s blathering about matters such as “watch the traffic lights and be safe when crossing the street” and so on.

Fu Zhi did not want to go to the hall and she did not want to go to the museum either. Just when she was about to say it out, Fan Gaoda shot daggers at her and said, “I can forgive a certain girl for not wanting to read Pure Feather’s works, but I will never forgive her if she refuses to go to the museum!”

He threw his script on the table and continued, “Just take a look at your own language paper result. I don’t care whatever reason you have, you’re going to the museum today. You know what? You’re going to go to the museum every day and read history every day until the day before the examination. I don’t believe that you will still score a zero for my language paper!”

Fu Zhi did not know what she should comment on.

‘If it were not for you and other teachers to give me zero marks, would I score zero for my language paper?’

That said, Fu Zhi did not argue with him and just followed at the back of her class.

Class 21 was the last class to enter the hall. Since they were running short of time, by the time they were there, the speech had already started and it was Ouyang Ya’s turn to give a speech.

“I believe everyone has seen the news about the Fu Corporation from the internet lately. I personally appreciate President Fu’s effort in securing our country’s relics and his method of punishing the Ford Family. I’m fortunate enough to be his friend and he has sent some gifts to the school that I invested in.”

Ouyang Ya turned around and said something to Wu Zhiheng. Very soon, the presentation slides that Hang Yuan prepared appeared on the screen.
