Chapter 11
That night, Quan Zhisui still did not sleep well, but she had already formed the habit of getting up early. She yawned and got up before sunrise to go to the empty yard to practice martial arts.
After moving to Liang's house, she did not have enough time to practice basic skills layer by layer like before. She only had this short time in the morning to take advantage of, so after warming up, she hurried to practice fiercely. In a short while, she was drenched in sweat.
In addition to the main building, there were also side rooms on the left and right of the huge yard, where cleaning staff, nannies, chefs and drivers lived, so there were still many people.
Most of the wealthy households had to get up early. At this time, they gathered in the small dining room in the corner of the wing room to have breakfast. After the meal, they had to start working around the employer for a whole day.
This was the second day in a row they saw Quan Zhisui get up early to practice martial arts.
The chef Ma Xinwei said vibrantly, "The young miss finished the dish I'm good at yesterday. I have to make something different for her at dinner today. Seeing her eat makes me feel good."
Gu Lan next to him also laughed. "It was delicious."
Ma Xinwei said, "Of course! She's growing up! When I was her age, I could eat even more than her!"
Zhao Lin complained, "How can you compare with her? How much do you weigh and how much does she weigh? You're as round as a ball! I suspect you secretly eat the good food of the employer every day!"
Ma Xinwei glared at him, "How can that be called stealing food? It's called tasting the flavor!"
Fang Yue glanced at these people and instructed, "Little Zhao, don't be late sending the young miss to school today."
Zhao Lin nodded, "I know, yesterday I had no choice. I can't refuse the young master either or I'll get scolded later."
Fang Yue looked at the empty seat on the table. That was Xu Kuang's seat.
He asked, "Did the old master and old madam go straight to the hospital last night and stay all night?"
Zhao Lin said, "Probably."
At this moment, Ma Xinwei quickly gobbled down two more mouthfuls and got up, "It's almost time. I have to go prepare breakfast for the young miss. She's the only one in this family who eats properly on time. I feel very accomplished."
Gu Lan put down her chopsticks. "The young miss will take a bath later. I'll go prepare."
In just two days, she had already figured out Quan Zhisui's lifestyle.
Zhao Lin yawned.
Fang Yue saw it and said, "Take a nap after sending the young miss back. Young Master Zicheng probably won't need the car these days."
Zhao Lin grimaced without responding.
At this moment, a special ringtone sounded. After giving Fang Yue a look, Zhao Lin answered and hung up after half a minute. He became at a loss.
Fang Yue asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Lin said in disbelief, "The young master is discharged and wants me to pick him up."
Fang Yue frowned. "Now?"
Zhao Lin said anxiously as he scratched his head, "Yes! He said the car only had the two elders and a lot of stuff, not enough for one car. What about sending the young miss to school? I can't not send her two days in a row!"
Everyone knew that Fang Yue absolutely could not send Quan Zhisui to school. First, he was Zuo Zhiyu's dedicated driver, and second, Quan Zhisui had just been brought back and was the unfavored rural young miss.
This matter had the taste of intrigue in a wealthy household.
Fang Yue got up and put on his suit. "I'll pick up the young master."
Zhao Lin stared wide-eyed in shock. "You? What about the master..."
Fang Yue wore glasses, the lenses flashing. "The master's precious son is injured. He needs a steady, experienced driver to pick him up. You're too young, you can't do it."
Zhao Lin nodded wildly. "That makes so much sense!"
...
At 6:55 in the morning, Quan Zhisui ate breakfast full and went to the third floor with her schoolbag.
Knock knock!
She knocked on Zuo Zhiyu's door.
Oh, this should be a suite too, so Quan Zhisui walked right in, through the huge living room to the bedroom door.
Knock knock knock!
"Dad!" Quan Zhisui's voice was clear and loud.
Knock knock knock! Knock knock knock!
She knocked on the door, pounding on it.
When Xu Zhiyi was woken up by the noise, she thought she was dreaming at first. As the wealthy madam and lady of the Zuo family, she had not been disturbed while resting for more than ten years.
Who dared to?
Bang! Bang bang bang!
The knocking grew louder, turning into pounding that made the walls shake.
Xu Zhiyi woke up completely in disbelief. Was it an earthquake or the sky falling down?
In the customized big bed, Zuo Zhiyu beside her was sleeping like a pig, snoring loudly without any sign of waking up.
The time was 6:57 am.
Xu Zhiyi was instantly furious!
She rushed over and opened the bedroom door. Before she saw anyone, she yelled, "Looking to die so early in the morning?!"
At the door stood Quan Zhisui, dressed neatly in her school uniform.
Xu Zhiyi wished she could tear this face to pieces. Her voice became hysterical. "Quan Zhisui! Do you have any manners? Making a racket so early in the morning! Why don't you just go die?!"
Quan Zhisui's expression was calm as she stepped forward into the room. "I'm looking for my dad."
Xu Zhiyi became even more angry. She blocked the door. "Who allowed you to come in?! What do you think you are, looking for dad here?! There is no dad of yours in the Zuo family! Get out of here!"
Quan Zhisui pretended to be surprised. "Ah? I don't have a dad? Then I'll go back to the village."
Xu Zhiyi went crazy trying to push her out. "Get back to your village! I'll send you back right now! It'd be best if you died there!"
Quan Zhisui understood. Xu Zhiyi didn't know the inside story. She easily dodged to the side, effortlessly causing the other to miss. Her steps were steady as she walked into the bedroom.
"Dad!" Quan Zhisui's crisp voice sounded clearly by the bed.
Zuo Zhiyu had actually woken up earlier, but was still groggy when he first woke up. With Xu Zhiyi's screams and curses ringing in his ears, it took him a while to react to where he was.
Not until this "Dad!" did his mind gradually return, but like Xu Zhiyi, his first reaction was still anger.
"Quan Zhisui! What are you up to so early in the morning?!" Zuo Zhiyu yelled even louder than Xu Zhiyi, drowning out the woman's screams.
Xu Zhiyi stopped yelling now, also completely awake. She crossed her arms and stood to the side sneering coldly. "What a good daughter, wishing she could tear down the door!"
Quan Zhisui ignored Xu Zhiyi and looked at Zuo Zhiyu. "Dad, good morning! I'm going to school now, just letting you know."
Zuo Zhiyu was about to go crazy. "Just for this? You woke me up so early just for this? Are you sick?!"
Xu Zhiyi was also crazy. "Zuo Zhiyu! Send her away! If she doesn't leave, I'm leaving!"
Quan Zhisui looked innocent but spoke shockingly. "Dad, you're yelling at me, your mistress is always shouting to send me away, your illegitimate son is also targeting me. Why don't you just give up being my guardian?" Silence—
The noisy bedroom instantly became deathly silent.
Xu Zhiyi's face was distorted with anger. Her mouth gaped several times wanting to curse but her mind went blank, not knowing where to start.
Mistress, illegitimate son...
The disgraceful past that no one had mentioned for years was just bluntly brought up by Quan Zhisui!
Who told her about these things?!
