The Mysterious Heiress: Researcher In Disguise Novel - Chapter 428

Chapter 428: Ye San: Who Care About A Few Hundred Million

Ouyang Ya was browsing antiques on the antique street when she saw the message and she frowned.

Wu Zhiheng, who was standing beside her, asked worriedly, “What’s wrong?”

“Zhu Wenjie lost to Fu Zhi as well,” Ouyang Ya replied as she pinched at the center of her brows. She had lost all her mood to continue browsing antiques anymore.

“Zhu Wenjie lost to Fu Zhi too?!”

Wu Zhiheng put the porcelain in his hand down and his voice was laced thick with disbelief. It took him a short while to digest the shocking news before he continued, “Aren’t his parents archeologists? How come he would lose to Fu Zhi?”

Ouyang Ya did not reply.

In fact, the students in Hang Yuan were taught by the Wu Family. No matter how curious he was, he should not ask Ouyang Ya.

After a short while, Wu Zhiheng couldn’t help but mutter, “This Fu Zhi, she’s really something.”

“You think Fu Zhi is good as well?” Ouyang Ya asked, shooting him a cold glance.

She seemed like she was in a bad mood.

Wu Zhiheng knew the importance of this exchange meeting to Ouyang Ya. If Hang Yuan lost the competition, not only Ouyang Ya would not be able to become Ouyang Feng’s disciple, she might withdraw her investment from the Wu family in a fit of anger.

When that thought appeared in Wu Zhiheng’s mind, he quickly changed his statement, “Nope, nope. I’m sure she’s just lucky.”

“Lucky?” Ouyang Ya let out a scoff, “Do you have any idea how many times Hang Yuan has lost? Out of the 20 students that came to No.1 High School this time, 10 of them are from the basketball team. As for the remaining 10, both you and Zhu Wenjie have lost, and if we lose another 3 times, we will not be able to turn the table around anymore!”

Her voice had raised for an octave towards the end of her sentence. “I deliberately spent all the time I could’ve used to design firearms to train you and your friends, and this is the result you give me?!”

Wu Zhiheng knew he owed Ouyang Ya an explanation, especially since it involved Ouyang Ya’s personal interest. “She’s the only one in No.1 High School who has the capability of defeating us. Zhiyou will definitely not lose to her. Besides, there is a joint examination between the two schools in the middle of the month. Although Chen Shan and the others are not good in studies, according to the information I received from Mu Chenxi, they are still multiple times better than Song Fang’s group. When the time comes, we just need to exclude Fu Zhi from the examination and let Chen Shan and the others go to compete with the poor students of the basketball team from Class 21. Considering their poor results, I’m sure we will win this time!”

Ouyang Ya’s face lightened.

Wu Zhiheng let out a sigh of relief and continued, “Let’s keep searching for a calligraphy painting to give to No.1 High School. I’m sure we will be able to find a high-quality calligraphy painting at a low price here. No one in No.1 High School knows anything about antiques. They won’t choose Taobao, so they will only go to buy antiques at a high price from an auction. Our main goal is to make things difficult for No.1 High School.”

Unlike No.1 High School, Hang Yuan was a private school. Many bigwigs from different industries had invested in them, while No.1 High School was mainly funded by the provincial education bureau.

It would certainly make their pocket hurt if they had to give something of equal value back to them.

Ouyang Ya felt Wu Zhiheng was right, but she still felt worried with Fu Zhi in No.1 High School.

She made a call to Mu Chenxi, and the call was connected very soon.

“Ms. Ouyang,” Mu Chenxi greeted reverently.

“How is the thing going with Ye Shiyun? It has been two days. Is he coming to Yu City?”

Mu Chenxi hemmed and hawed for a while before replying, “He… He didn’t reply to our messages. My dad has called him multiple times and he told him that we’re at the museum today, but…”

Mu Chenxi did not know how to tell Ouyang Ya. No matter what they said, Ye Shiyun just paid them no heed.

Ouyang Ya was speechless. Not only Hang Yuan, but Mu Chenxi was the same as well. They were all nothing but a horde of good-for-nothings. Feeling exasperated, Ouyang Ya hung up the call.

——

In the museum, the group resumed the tour. Fu Zhi and Ye Jiu were walking hand-in-hand at the back of the group.

When they passed by Mu Chenxi, Mu Chenxi threw them an angry stare, but Fu Zhi ignored her. Mu Chenxi then turned around and went to the 2nd floor as she did not want to stay around Fu Zhi.

——

There were a few wintersweet trees outside the museum. The sky was exceptionally blue today, and the air was filled with the fragrance of the wintersweet flower.

Nine o’clock in the morning.

A silver Maserati was stopped very far away from the museum. Wearing a black cap and a silver jacket, Ye San entered the museum.

He took a quick glance around the museum. The batch of the students in the museum was still the first batch. All of them were split into several groups and they were looking at their phones instead of the relics or antiques in the museum.

His phone rang a few times, and after Ye San had taken a look at it, he then walked towards the balcony on the 2nd floor.

Ye San arrived at Yu City on Friday night, but he had to settle something so he only came to look for Fu Zhi today.

Truth be told, he should not poke his nose into Fu Zhi’s affair, but falling in love at an early age was not good. Not only would it waste a lot of money, it was something that the government prohibited. As the son of the country, Ye San felt he had the obligation to respond to the call of the country and kept a lost soul on the straight and narrow.

There were not many students on the 2nd floor.

Ye San was standing beside the curtain. He put a not-so-fake gentle smile on his face and rested his arm on the windowsill. He waited for about 3 minutes, yet nobody noticed him.

Ye San was speechless.

He knocked the windowsill twice with his phone, and Ye Jiu finally noticed him. He raised his head from his phone, but there was no expression on his face when he saw Ye Shiyun. He looked at him in the eyes for a few seconds before lowering his head to play with his game.

Fu Zhi looked in the direction of his gaze and greeted Ye San, “Hi, brother.”

Ye Shiyun nodded in reply. He studied Fu Zhi from her head to her toe and said, “I heard that you’re seeing a man?”

Fu Zhi did not know what to say.

She turned to look at Ye Jiu.

Ye Jiu pouted his mouth and said, “Why are you looking at me like that? Do you have any evidence to prove that I’m the one who told him?”

Fu Zhi replied, “You’d better pray I won’t find any evidence.”

Ye Jiu was stunned.

“Honestly, I’m sad as I’m talking to you right now,” Ye Shiyun said as he took a seat on the couch opposite of Fu Zhi.

Fu Zhi clasped her hands together and replied, “Well, it’s not like what you’re thinking…”

“Shush! I don’t want to listen to any words from your mouth now as it will only make me feel even sadder,” Ye Shiyun said as he pinched at the center of his brows. “You haven’t realized your mistake yet, have you? The ponytail on your right is obviously slightly higher than the left one. And the zipper on your jacket. Why can’t you pull your zipper to the top?”

Fu Zhi was speechless.

She had forgotten that Ye San had OCD, and both of them were talking about 2 entirely different things.

Fu Zhi then pressed her right ponytail and pulled her zipper to the top. Then, she said, “Well, since you’re here, I might as well tell you that I want to make a movie recently, and I want you to be the leading male actor for free of charge.”

Setting his jaw tight, Ye Shiyun stared at her ponytail and said, “Are you short of money ?”

“Huh? Well, not really. I still have enough to spend.”

That said, maintaining a relationship required a lot of money, and Fu Zhi reckoned that she would need even more money when she got married in the future.

“Do you know the password of my bank card?” Ye Shiyun suddenly asked.

“I probably can figure it out if I hack into your profile,” Fu Zhi said. Although she did a lot of bad things like internet dating, scamming other people’s money, and fighting, she was still a good girl deep down.

“Don’t worry. I won’t do that to you. I won’t steal your money.”

As if he heard the funniest joke in the world, Ye Shiyun scoffed and said, “If you want to steal it, just go ahead. There are only a few hundred million in my savings account, and besides, who else would care about a few hundred million nowadays?”

Fu Zhi and Ye Jiu, the two poor wretches, did not know what to say.

Ye Jiu was still collecting money to buy milk tea.

Ever since Ye Qi left, all the money in his bank card was given by Xu Wei.

Ye Jiu had been relying on Ye Qi the whole time before Ye Qi went back to Country M. After he heard what Ye San had said, he dropped to his knees and said, “Daddy! Please help me! The Fu Corporation has gone down and Fu Zhao has run away with his daughter, leaving me to fend for myself alone. You have to help me!”

Ye San looked at Ye Jiu and said solemnly, “I’ve lost my memory, and I don’t remember having a son.”

Ye Jiu said, “But you still remember you’re my daddy?”

“Non-selective amnesia.”

Ye Jiu was speechless.

Fu Zhi then chimed in, “Alright, get up. You’re embarrassing yourself.”

“I’m embarrassing myself? If it were not for you, do you think I would have to beg him? I would rather cry in a Maserati, than laugh in a bubble tea shop with you!”

‘You can insult me all you want, but how can you insult my bubble tea shop?!’

Fu Zhi puffed her cheeks out like a pufferfish and said, “Then pay me back the money you owe me for the milk tea!”

“You want me to pay you back the money?” Ye Jiu shot up from the floor, “Have you forgotten that I was the one who used my money to buy diapers for you when you’re still a baby? Did I ever ask you to pay me back the money?”

“But you stole my pink color blanket from my room!”

“I was the one who chewed the rice before feeding it to you, and I was the one who made sure that your milk was cold enough to put into your mouth!”

Fu Zhi stared at Ye Jiu disbelievingly. “Ye Jiu!!!”

“Hmph!”

Ye Jiu jerked his head to one side as he did not want to look at Fu Zhi anymore. He swore to God that he would not talk to her as well in the next 3 days!

If he talked to her, then he was a dog!

Fu Zhi was so angry with him that she did not want to eat anything for the next 3 days. She put the milk tea in her hand aside and said, “I’m going to tell dad that you scold me, beat me, and you refused to give me food!”

Ye Jiu replied subconsciously, “Who the hell didn’t give you food?!”
