Gu Siye was genuinely curious and couldn't help but ask, "How did you know she killed her stepson?" This woman had only been in Kyoto for a few days and had already been to the police station twice.
"I figured it out!" Her face was right there; she recognized it at a glance.
Although Gu Siye had some doubts, he kept quiet. After all, he wasn't familiar with her, so he shouldn't ask too many questions.
Li Zhiyi originally thought that since Young Master Gu was so busy, he would definitely send her back to the Gu family.
Unexpectedly, the car stopped at the mall entrance: "Push me in."
Li Zhiyi assumed he also wanted to buy something, so he pushed him all the way to the entrance of the doll shop. He touched this one, touched that one, and as if having made up his mind, asked, "Young Master Gu, which of these three dolls do you think is the prettiest?"
"Wrap it all up."
The saleswoman was surprised that she would come back, and this time she was pushing a man in a wheelchair. Even though he was in a wheelchair, the saleswoman was stunned by his natural charm.
What's most infuriating is that this man was incredibly generous; he bought her three dolls in one go, all of which were limited editions. You know, each of these little dolls costs over ten thousand yuan.
Gu Siye handed the black card to the saleswoman, whose eyes widened in shock. A black card! It was actually a black card!!! My God, was this a real domineering CEO?
She immediately put on a smiling face and said solicitously, "Miss, I see that your clothes are torn. Would you like to go next door and take a look at our new clothes? They're sure to suit you."
"Are my clothes tattered?"
"Oh, Miss, your clothes aren't actually that worn out, it's just that your temperament is so good. Really, wearing our clothes would definitely make your complexion look even more flawless. If you're not in a hurry, why don't you try them on?"
Seeing the sales clerk's excessive enthusiasm, Li Zhi thought to himself that he hadn't brought any change of clothes down the mountain, so he decided to buy a set.
"Hmm, pick out something simple and plain for me."
"Okay, I guarantee you'll be satisfied. Please wait a moment, Miss."
Li Zhiyi pushed Gu Siye to wait, and immediately another salesperson came forward and said solicitously, "Miss, is there anything else you need? Do you want some cosmetics? Your skin looks so good, you must have put a lot of effort into taking care of it. Our new products will definitely suit you, and we also have new lipsticks, we have samples."
"Thank you, but no need," Li Zhiyi said, shaking his head as he looked at the sales clerks who had painted themselves all over with bruises and discoloration.
Seeing everyone else enthusiastically promoting their products, the saleswoman on the other side naturally wasn't going to be outdone. Holding up a bag, she said, "Miss, miss, take a look at this bag. It's a limited edition crocodile skin, perfect for you."
Li Zhiyi's bundle was sewn by her master when she was a child. The thread was torn, but it was a gift from her master and was very precious, so she wouldn't exchange it.
"No need, thank you."
"Miss, what do you think of these clothes?" The saleswoman was holding several pieces of clothing in her hands.
"Okay, you wait here." Li Zhi went to the fitting room and tried on several clothes. The moon white and sky blue suited her very well, making her look like a flower on a high mountain, someone who could only be admired and not profaned.
Gu Siye noticed that her bag was ripped and blackened, unbecoming of her status. "Wrap the bag up." The saleswoman was overjoyed, her eyes never leaving Gu Siye, thinking to herself, "Look at me, I'm not bad either."
"Sir, could you please leave your contact information so we can notify you when we have new products?"
Gu Siye hates this kind of woman the most; she's greedy for money and wants to show off like a peacock whenever she sees a man.
Li Zhiyi was still struggling to choose which clothes to wear when he turned his head and saw Gu Siye with a dark face.
"I'm not buying it, sorry." Li Zhiyi walked up to Gu Siye and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Little did he know it was because Gu Siye had been harassed.
The saleswoman, undeterred, chased after her, "Miss, those dresses and suits really suit your style. Would you like to reconsider...?"
"Wrap up everything you've tried."
"Thank you, sir." The saleswoman happily took the black card and swiped it, making the neighboring shops extremely envious—they must be making a fortune from that!
"Isn't this too much? One piece is enough."

Now, wherever Li Zhiyi goes, she becomes the center of attention. The packages she's carrying are all limited editions, and the man next to her is incredibly handsome and wealthy!
More and more salespeople surrounded Li Zhiyi, trying to sell her their products. After Li Zhiyi declined their offers, she pushed Gu Siye out of the mall.
Gu Siye planned to send her back to the Gu family home, which would fulfill his grandfather's request. He still needed to return to the company.
Perhaps because he got up too early, Li Zhiyi felt drowsy in the car and eventually closed his eyes for a short nap.
The phone rang, and Gu Siye looked at the caller ID, answered the phone, and then looked at the person who was already asleep: "Okay, I'll be right there."
The car suddenly made a sharp U-turn, and Li Zhiyi changed his position and continued sleeping.
Li Zhiyi didn't open her eyes until the car stopped. "We're home? Why did it take so long?" Li Zhiyi got out of the car and saw Gu Siye walking ahead. She looked up and wondered where she was.
At this moment, a bodyguard-like person came over and opened the car door for Gu Siye. "Young Master Gu, this way please."
The bodyguard glanced at Li Zhiyi but didn't say anything. After all, the person who came with Young Master Gu was Young Master Gu's friend, and Young Master Gu was their young master's best friend.
Li Zhi looked around and thought, "This villa is really nice. It's built against the mountain and by the water. It's obviously from a wealthy family."
In Kyoto, the Gu family is undoubtedly the most prestigious and wealthy family.
In addition, there are three other powerful families: the Fu family, the Lu family, and the Jiang family. These three families are intricately connected, maintaining a balance of power through mutual checks and balances.
Among them, the Gu family and the Fu family have the best relationship, with Gu Siye and Fu Yanche being the closest, and the two families being old friends.
"Si Ye, what brings you here?" Fu Yanche seemed both surprised and delighted.
“I asked Si Ye to come and keep you company. You said you haven’t eaten much these past two days, how can that be okay?” A woman in her forties, who looked much younger than her actual age and had the air of a well-bred lady, said with a smile.
"Mom, Si Ye is very busy. You're bothering him with such a small thing..."
Fu Yanche's parents were loving and his older sister was outstanding. Unfortunately, Fu Yanche had a weak constitution since childhood and was often sick and hospitalized. He suffered from misfortune from a young age.
So the Fu family spent a lot of money to buy this hilltop and built this beautiful and quiet villa, hoping that their son could breathe more fresh air.
