Chapter 26 Targeting
Sheng Jiayi is a stubborn, arrogant and rebellious boy from an aristocratic family, and he already has a deep-rooted aversion to her. It won't work just by creating a sensible persona for her.
This would either make him think that Yu Zhi was scheming or that she was very boring.
So Yu Zhi decided not to put herself in a difficult position and let the arrogant young master learn a lesson - there was no reason for her to swallow her anger when others scolded her.
Moreover, given Sheng Jiayi's face-saving personality, he would definitely not publicize such an embarrassing thing as being scolded by her.
As long as not every word was heard by Wei Yuan and Yu Yao, she could still argue and didn't have to worry about her image in front of Wei Yuan and Yu Yao collapsing.
Yu Zhi was too lazy to continue her elementary school quarrel with him. Sheng Jiayi was a staunch and brainless "conservative" anyway, so there was no need to waste too much time on him now. Just having some contact would be enough.
She resumed her "arrogant" behavior and bumped into Sheng Jiayi hard as she walked past him.
Sheng Jiayi widened his peach blossom eyes in disbelief and stared at the back of Yu Zhi's head.
It's only been a while since we last met, but this bad guy has become even more arrogant! It turns out that no matter how noisy he gets, "Yu Zhi" will never dare to have physical contact with him.
Yu Yi then rushed over breathlessly. Her skirt was too long and it was inconvenient for her to move, and the maze was too complicated. Now she finally saw Yu Zhi coming out and Sheng Jiayi, who was furious, behind her.
"Xiao Zhi..." She called out in a nervous manner, but saw Yu Zhi leave without hearing her.
Yu Yi was secretly delighted. Yu Zhi had now confirmed in front of Sheng Jiayi that she ignored him. Now Sheng Jiayi would definitely not change his opinion of her like he did with Wei Yuan and Yu Yao.
And Yu Zhi probably didn't say anything good about Sheng Jiayi. It was the first time she saw him face so red - judging from his expression, he was obviously angry.
"Jiayi, are you okay?" Yu Yu stepped forward quickly and said apologetically, "Did Xiaozhi go too far? I apologize to you on her behalf..."
Sheng Jiayi couldn't bear to vent his anger on Yu Yu, and quickly suppressed his discontented look: "What does her ignorance have to do with you? Don't take everything on yourself."
Although he said this, Yu Yi still acted like a good sister who was worried about her sister, which made Sheng Jiayi even more angry with Yu Zhi.

After that, no one came to trouble Yu Zhi for a while. After all, not everyone has the confidence and arrogance of Sheng Jiayi, who is willing to find fault with someone else's sister at Yu Yao's birthday party.
The journey to the dinner went smoothly and without incident. Yu Zhi sat quietly beside Yu Yao, as well-behaved as a doll.
Yu Yao was busy greeting his friends and had no idea what was happening on Yu Zhi's side.
Also arranged at the same table were Qiao Zhiyu, Sheng Jiayi, Yu Yi and others. After sitting at the table, Sheng Jiayi kept whispering in Qiao Zhiyu's ear that Yu Zhi was really good at pretending now.
She was obviously very vicious when she was talking to him before, but now she acts like a good girl and deceives Yu Yao.
At the table next to them were some wealthy young ladies who were friends with Yu Yi. One of them exchanged glances with Yu Yi, then picked up her wine glass and stood up and walked towards Yu Zhi's table.
The girl clinked glasses with Yu Yao and wished him well, then curiously asked everyone, "I just happened to buy a new carbon fountain pen from Fanyin Handmade this time, and I'm giving it to Brother Yu Yao as a birthday present. What did everyone else give me?"
When guests signed in, their gifts were registered and placed in the gift display area, which is now full.
The gifts prepared by Yu's parents and Yu Yi were also registered and placed in the display area, but Yu Ji and Li Shurong were not present to attend this gathering of the younger generation.
Only Yu Zhi, because she "didn't know the rules", gave the gift to Yu Yao privately in advance.
But in Yu Yi's opinion, Yu Zhi definitely didn't prepare any gift for Yu Yao at all.
With Yu Yao's silly personality, he would probably feel disappointed at most, but he wouldn't really have any opinion towards Yu Zhi.
However, if this matter were revealed in public, it would make Yu Zhi even more embarrassed, and others would see her selfish and indifferent nature.
Yu Yu took the lead and replied with a faint smile, "What I'm giving you is an ancient watch from my collection."
In the interstellar age, wristwatches are obsolete because everyone wears optical computers on their wrists. However, for the wealthy, their collection value is greater than their practical significance, especially those that predate the ancient calendar.
When people heard about the gift prepared by Yu Yu, there were sounds of surprise and praise.
"Wow, that's so thoughtful!"
"Yu Yu is so kind to his brother! Another day of envying Yu Yao..."
"He's really rich and powerful."
With Yu Yu and her friends' suggestions, other people who were nearby also started talking about the gifts they had prepared.
"I'm giving Louie some wine."
"The Starnet Advanced Modification Set I gave you..."
“…”
Because of Wei Yuan's relationship, the Yu family is now in a very popular position in the Federation, and the gifts given by everyone are all very valuable.
The girl who first started talking suddenly exclaimed "Ah", attracting everyone's attention.
"Yu Zhi, what about you?" She seemed to have just remembered Yu Zhi and asked naturally without any malice, "What did you give me?"
Everyone's attention was focused on Yu Zhi, including Qiao Zhiyu and Sheng Jiayi.
Yu Zhi was stuffing a piece of barbecue into his mouth, eating it happily.
When the topic suddenly shifted to herself, she looked up confusedly, like a distracted student who was suddenly questioned by the teacher, her eyes wide open, and she stammered, not knowing what to answer.
Many people were touched by her cute look and laughed out loud, but Yu Yu and the girl thought they were laughing at Yu Zhi and couldn't help but feel more relieved.
"Ah," the girl pretended to be surprised, "You didn't prepare any gifts?"
"Xiao Zhi just came back, it's normal for her to forget for a while." Yu Yi "excused" her sister very skillfully, and didn't even notice the strange look on Yu Yao's face when he was about to refute.
"But I prepared a gift." Yu Zhi pouted and said innocently.
"Oh, really? What is it?" The girl was convinced that Yu Zhi was just being stubborn and she was determined to expose Yu Zhi's lies. "I don't think I saw anything in the display area."
Yu Yao frowned. No matter how slow he was, he now realized that the other party was deliberately targeting Zhizhi.
"What do you mean?" He stood up unhappily. "Zhizhi gave me the gift this morning. Is it necessary to show it to you?"
The girl didn't expect that Yu Yao would actually stand up for Yu Zhi. She looked embarrassed and subconsciously glanced at Yu Yi, only to see that the other party also looked embarrassed.
Being humiliated by the host of the banquet in public, the girl's eyes reddened. She no longer cared about her dignity and said through gritted teeth, "Brother Yu Yao, why did you help her lie?"
