Xin Zaozao hastily finished her dinner before she put down the cutlery and said, “Dad, I have something to tell you.”

“What is it?” Xin He nodded in response as he ate.

“I’ve applied to study abroad” Xin Zaozao said slowly, “Everything’s already prepared. I’m leaving next Monday.”

Xin He looked at Xin Zaozao in disbelief.

So did the others.

Xin Zaozao seemed to sense a sharp gaze among them.

Xin Zaozao ignored it and continued, “I don’t want you to worry, so I didn’t tell you in advance. I’ve grown up now. Studing abroad for a few years will broaden my horizons.”

Xin He had not cared much about what Xin Zaozao did ever since she was little, as long as she grew up according to trajectory. But this matter was obviously a bit hard for him to accept. However, because of the thing with Zaozao’s mother, he had always let Zaozao do whatever she wanted. It was the same this time. 

“Take care of yourself when you’re abroad,” he said.

“I will,” Xin Zaozao smiled. The smile was especially sweet. “I’m full. You guys take your time with the meal.”

One could hear the joy in her voice.

Xin Zaozao left the dining room and went back to her bedroom.

She started to pack her luggage, even though there were still a few days left.

She thought it was time to set herself free. Life sometimes felt very tiring for her.

After packing for a long time, she found that there wasn’t really much that she could take with her. She wasn’t strapped for cash, so could just buy whatever that could be bought abroad.

She looked around and made sure there really was nothing left to pack. She then grabbed a nightgown and went to take a shower.

In the large bathroom mirror, she looked at her body, hot mist lingering around her. Her hand subconsciously moved to her flat belly. Her throat moved slightly, and her eyes got a little red.

Humans were such cold-blooded creatures. She rinsed herself with hot water, hoping she could wash the guilt away.

After the shower, she opened the French window of her room and went out to the balcony to take in some fresh air. She immediately saw Mu Cidian sending Wu Qianyuan off at the villa gate. They hugged each other tightly, and Mu Cidian tenderly kissed Wu Qianyuan’s lips. What a good looking couple. What a feast for the eyes.

Xin Zaozao stared emotionlessly. The couple kissed for a long time before letting go of each other. Mu Cidian escorted Wu Qianyuan to her car and watched her leave.

After a long time, Mu Cidian finally turned around. His eyes met with Xin Zaozao’s.

Xin Zaozao slowly went back inside her room. Not that she was afraid of Mu Cidian or that she felt anything; she was just tired of him.

So tired that she did not feel like dealing with him.

　　…

That night, at the Song residence.

When Song Zhizhi estimated that the time was about right, she left her own room and went to Song Shan’s bedroom.

She knocked on the door. Nie Wenzhi opened it and looked at Song Zhizhi in slight surprise, “Oh, Zhizhi. What’s the matter?”

“I want to talk to Dad about something,” After saying that, Song Zhizhi walked into their room.

Song Shan was just about to drink his daily glass of milk.

For the sake of verification, Song Zhizhi had not stopped this habit of her father’s. After all, it was a slow acting drug, so the drug would not show its effect for a while. She went forward and took away Song Shan’s milk. “Didn’t you hear the doctor say that you shouldn’t drink milk for now because your blood pressure is getting pretty high lately? Why won’t you listen?”

Song Shan frowned. When had the doctor said that? He thought perhaps he had missed it. He smiled and said, “Okay, I won’t drink any, then.”

“Here, give it to me,” Song Zhizhi took the milk and said to Nie Wenzhi, “Aunt Wenzhi, dad’s blood pressure is getting pretty high lately, so don’t let him drink any more milk. You should also help him check his blood pressure daily.”

“Okay, I will,” Nie Wenzhi nodded, not suspecting anything.

Song Zhizhi brought the milk out of the room. After she returned to her own room, she poured the milk into a sealed bag and kept it in the refrigerator in her room.

After everything was taken care of, Song Zhizhi lay down on the bed and gave Ji Baijian a call.

The voice coming from the other end was low and a little hoarse. It was the voice of someone who had their sleep interrupted. Naturally, his attitude was not very pleasant. “Miss Song, I’m not someone who likes to stay up late. I take my health very seriously!”

“I need your help with something,” said Song Zhizhi. It was indeed bad manners to disturb someone’s sleep, so her voice was a bit soft.

“You sure have a lot of things that needed doing in a day, Miss Song,” he was clearly mocking her.

“We are in a cooperative relationship,” she tried to straighten her back. 

“What exactly do you need help with this time, Miss Song?”

“I suspect that Nie Wenzhi is feeding my father slow acting poison to induce abnormalities in my father’s blood pressure. I took a sample of my father’s blood and the milk he usually drinks. Tomorrow, come pick me up for one of our biweekly dates so that I can pass them to you.”

“Okay,” Ji Baijian agreed right away.

In other words, he did not want her to delay his sleep any longer.

There sure were a lot of issues with this man!

Song Zhizhi hung up the phone. From the moment of her rebirth, all she had been thinking about was how to get revenge on Nie Wenzhils family and how to let her own family rise to the top. She had never thought for herself, of what kind of life she would like to have in the future.

For herself?

Ji Baijian’s shockingly handsome face that would always say shockingly poisonous words suddenly surfaced in Song Zhizhi’s mind.

She admitted that all the advances she previously made on Ji Baijian were for the sake of winning Ji Baijian’s support in order to achieve her objectives. She did not want to repeat the same mistake and be hurt by love again.

And now, she had to suppress her feeling.

　　…

The next day finally arrived.

It was early morning. Song Zhizhi could not sleep last night, which was rare for her. She woke up with dark circles under her eyes.

She really was thinking too much.

She washed herself, put on makeup and went downstairs.

Not long after breakfast, Ji Baijian arrived at her house in a suit. He looked as handsome as always.

Every time Nie Xiaofei saw Ji Baijian and Song Zhizhi standing together, she would get so green with envy that she felt like she would go crazy! She should have been the one standing next to Ji Baijian!

After Song Zhizhi and Ji Baijian left, Nie Xiaofei could not hold back her emotions anymore. She complained to Nie Wenzhi, “Mom, are you just going to let them be?”

Nie Wenzhi was not looking too happy either, “Don’t worry, they won’t get married that smoothly. Even if we can’t get him, we can’t let Song Zhizhi have him!”

Upon hearing her mother say that, Nie Xiaofei’s mood instantly improved.

It was in the nature of their family to despise others’ happiness!

“Oh, that’s right. Call Wenhan and ask him to make preparations to go to the Ji’s engagement party with us tomorrow. He’s lost Song Zhizhi as a stepping stone, but at least he still has us. It’s time for Wenhan to show himself to the world.”

“Okay,” Nie Xiaofei nodded hard..
