"Stop looking! My brother already said he won't marry you, so just give up on that idea!"
“Nianzhi, this is your sister-in-law.”
"I don't acknowledge this sister-in-law at all." After saying that, Gu Nianzhi turned around and went upstairs in a huff.
Li Zhi held the cat in her arms, stroking it gently as if it were a rare treasure, seemingly oblivious to the commotion around her.
Her nonchalant attitude has aroused dissatisfaction among many people.
"Don't be angry, girl. Master Si has always been spoiled. Just you wait, I will make sure he marries you in a grand and glorious way."
"Grandpa, I want to rest for a while." She had been traveling continuously, day and night, and what would normally take several days, she covered in one night. Now she just wanted to sleep.
"Good child, go and rest, don't think too much."
Li Zhiyi nodded.
Butler Zhou was very perceptive and led her back to the guest room on the left side of the fourth floor, since Gu Siye's room was right next to hers.
Seeing such a large, soft, and comfortable bed for the first time, Li Zhiyi felt sleepy and quickly fell asleep on it.
Xiao Bai checked everything carefully, even looking through the windows several times, and once she was sure there was no danger, she lay down at her feet and dozed off for a while.
"Grandpa, do we really want a Taoist nun to marry into our family?"
“She’s not a Taoist nun. Besides, even if she really did become a nun, Taoists can still marry and have children.”
"Grandpa, why don't you understand? What I mean is that her kindness and gentleness are all an act..." Gu Nianzhi was really anxious, afraid that her grandfather had been deceived.
"Alright, stop talking. Don't think so badly of people. I've lived my whole life and seen all kinds of people. Grandpa's tired. Uncle Zhou, help me back to rest for a while." He knew from the first meeting that the boy was a good kid, kind-hearted and innocent.
Gu Nianzhi watched her grandfather's departing figure, her cheeks puffed out in anger. Originally, she had been standing up for her brother! Now, her own interests were involved. Her grandfather had always doted on her the most. Although she had her own villa, she had been living there since she finished school, wanting to spend more time with her grandfather.
Now look what's happened; some stinky Taoist nun who appeared out of nowhere has stolen my grandfather's affection for me.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got; she was absolutely furious!
"Open the door, open the door quickly!" Gu Nianzhi pounded on the door.
"Meow~" You can tell that Xiaobai is very angry.
Li Zhi stroked Xiao Bai's fur, and Xiao Bai's eyes returned to their normal golden color from their crimson state.
"Miss Li, right? I advise you to be sensible and just say it, how much money do you want?" She thought that after she said that, this poor woman in front of her would definitely be tempted.
"I don't want money." Her master had said that people in their line of work couldn't save money at all, and they couldn't ask people for money for no reason. Of course, there were ways to make money, such as fortune telling or helping people exorcise evil spirits and ward off bad luck. Although her master had taught her many skills, she hadn't put them into practice yet, and she didn't know what the prices were like in this era or how to charge. These were all things she needed to learn.
"You, you insatiable woman, don't think that just because Grandpa is protecting you you can do whatever you want. Brother Siye will never marry you, so just give up on that idea! If you're smart, you'd better take the money and leave, or you'll end up with nothing."
"It doesn't matter."
"You, you, you're really infuriating me!..."
Gu Nianzhi stormed off, slamming the door shut with a deafening bang!
Xiao Bai looked outside, glanced at the window, and anxiously wanted to jump out.
Li Zhi laughed and said, "What's the rush? Let's go out openly and honestly. Let's go."
When they got downstairs, Butler Zhou saw her about to leave with the cat and immediately stopped her, saying, "Miss Li, you can't go out yet. The old master hasn't given any instructions."
"Go tell Grandpa I'm going out. Go ahead."
Butler Zhou said respectfully, "Yes, Miss Li, please wait a moment."
As soon as Butler Zhou turned around, he turned back and there was no one left. "Miss Li, Miss Li..." No one answered him, so he hurried off to report to the old master...
Once Gu Yesi arrived at the company, he threw himself into his work. His secretary refilled his tea, and before he knew it, a cat hair had drifted up to him. "Achoo!"
Gu Siye couldn't help but sneeze. Just then, his phone rang, and he took it out to answer the call.
He didn't speak, but just frowned, and then went out alone.
North of the city: The old city area. The people who originally lived here moved to the new city area, leaving this area deserted and abandoned.
Someone just called him and told him that there was a mole in his company who secretly reported the bid price to the competitor. He said he had evidence and told him to come to the old town and wait.
But no one came, no matter how long I waited. Was they playing a trick on me? I was just about to leave...
"Young Master Gu."
Gu Siye turned around and saw a familiar face. This person was originally his subordinate, Liu Dawei, who had been sent to prison three years ago for stealing company contracts. "It's you."
"Haha, Young Master Gu has a good memory! Back then, I only made a small mistake, and you disregarded our past relationship and insisted on sending me to prison. Today, I'll make you die!" He rushed forward, but he underestimated Gu Siye's skills.
Liu Dawei was punched in the face and then kicked to the ground by Gu Siyue. He got up cursing and tried to come forward again, but Gu Siyue kicked him two meters away. Blood spurted from the corner of his mouth, but a crazy smile appeared in his eyes.
Gu Siye turned around, took out his phone, and dialed 110. The next second, there was a muffled thud, and Gu Siye felt a sharp pain in his left leg. He had been shot.
Liu Dawei, standing behind him, stood up and walked step by step toward Gu Siyue, a crazed look in his eyes:
"Didn't expect that, did you, Young Master Gu? I knew I couldn't beat you, so I let you lower your guard first, and then delivered the fatal blow. Hahaha, I'm so clever! Not only that, today I'm going to kidnap you and let you taste the suffering I endured in prison these past three years!!!"
From the moment he went to prison, his wife remarried, taking their child with her. Now he can't find his wife and child, his house has been auctioned off, and he's no longer tolerated by the entire industry. He's lost his wife and his future, all because of this damned man!
Liu Dawei pressed the gun against Gu Si's head. "Stand up and get in the car. If you don't obey, I'll kill you right now!" The reason he didn't shoot him in the head was because he wanted to torture him and then extort money from the Gu family. After all, this was the Gu family's successor. He would get more money and then run away! Wouldn't that be great?
In the blink of an eye, a white cat pounced on Liu Dawei with such force that it knocked him to the ground, and the gun in his hand fell to the ground as well.
Li Zhi calmly picked up the pistol from the ground and played with it. "Is this thing really that powerful?"
But the next second, Gu Siye shouted, "Don't press the buttons randomly, it's dangerous!"
Li Zhi instinctively threw the pistol to the ground.
As luck would have it, the pistols were thrown back to Liu Dawei's side. Liu Dawei quickly picked them up, pointed them at Gu Siyue, and a maniacal smile appeared in his eyes: "Hahaha, you didn't expect this, did you, Young Master Gu? Today is your death day, die!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Liu Dawei pulled the trigger.
