Chapter 16: Chapter 16

Zi Lian came over the next morning. She thoughtfully said to Zi Xu and Li Peirong, “I’m sure Yiyi might have to spend a few days in the capital. Since Xuanxuan is preparing for her exams, I’m sure you two are worried about her as well. Why don’t I come along with you? That way, I can hang out with Yiyi and you can find time to come back and check on Xuanxuan.”

Zi Lian always gave people the impression that she was refined and thoughtful.

Zi Xu was still considering her offer, but Li Peirong contemplated her own plans and smiled as she said, “That’s very thoughtful of you. I was just thinking about that and was worried that I wouldn’t be able to keep an eye on both of them.”

She turned to look at Zi Xu and said, “Why don’t you let her join us? Since Yiyi doesn’t have friends in the capital, she might feel uncomfortable. Lianlian can keep her company while she’s there.”

Zi Xu felt it was a bad idea but he could not put his finger on the reason why he felt this way.

Zi Yi even put in a good word for Zi Lian. “Uh huh. She can even hang out with me.”

Zi Xu agreed when he heard Zi Yi say that.

Zi Xuan did not care about Zi Yi’s matters and left for school first thing in the morning.

The four of them went to the capital by car.

City S was not far and it only took five to six hours by car.

The moment they arrived at the capital, Zi Xu called the He family’s butler.

The butler shockingly told the Zi family to get a room at the hotel for the time being. The He family would ring them when they were ready to see Zi Yi.

Zi Yi noticed the anger on Zi Xu’s face when he hung up, so she deliberately asked, “Dad, when will we go to the He residence?”

Zi Xu suppressed his displeasure as they looked at him and said, “It’s getting late, so we will stay at a hotel first.”

The moment he finished speaking, he told the chauffeur to take them to a five-star hotel.

Meanwhile, at the He residence.

The He family’s butler reported the matter to He Fei’s mother, who was married to the second son of the He family.

Madam He was having high tea with some of her rich female friends. The moment she heard the butler’s report, she composed herself. “Tell them to wait at the hotel. I will naturally see them when I have the time.”

“Yes, Madam He.”

After he left, Madam Wu smiled as she asked, “I hear that He Fei is back. Does this mean he is getting ready for marriage?”

“Hahh! Don’t even start.” Madam He looked annoyed. “I don’t know what possessed him. Ever since he came back from City S, he insisted on marrying some woman from there.”

The rich wives felt curious.

Madam Chen asked, “Where is she from?”

“She’s just a little businessman’s daughter.”

The rich wives looked at each other and seemed to be against the marriage.

Status was very important in high society.

“Why did He Fei fall for someone like her?”

“That woman is good-looking.” Madam He had already investigated Zi Yi when He Fei insisted on marrying her. “I have seen her photos and I have to agree that she is very pretty.”

“What use is it to be pretty? There are plenty of pretty women out there.” In high society, men could get any kind of beauty they wanted, so her friends found it an inexplicable reason.

Madam He did not understand his persistence either and felt annoyed. “I told him the same thing, but he was stubborn and insisted on marrying her. Just yesterday, he left the house and hasn’t come back after getting into a fight with his father.”

Her friends comforted her the moment they heard this.

“It’s normal for youngsters to have a little fun.”

“Maybe it is just a novelty for him. I’m sure he will get over her soon.”

Madam Zeng asked, “Why didn’t you arrange for him to meet some other girls?”

Madam He said powerlessly, “Of course I arranged some dates for him but he refused to see them.”

Everyone went quiet for a moment.

Madam Zeng wanted her daughter to marry He Fei, so she suggested, “Since He Fei insists on marrying her, why don’t you organize an evening party and invite all the young women from the capital’s high society to come over? With a few more options out there, he will see the light in no time.”

“Fei would never agree to it.” Madam He knew her son’s temperament the best. If he found out that she had specially organized a party for him to meet potential marriage candidates, he would not even come home.

Madam Zeng smiled and suggested, “Don’t tell him about it yet. Just use that woman as an excuse to make him come back.”

Madam He contemplated and felt that it made sense, so she smiled as well. “That works. I will get the butler to make plans.”
