Chasing You Like a Tenacious Falcon

The next day, Zuo Zichen went to school as usual with Quan Zhisui.

But he still wanted to save face and did not want others to know he had a half-sister, so every day he got off the car at the corner and walked into school ahead of time. After school, he would run to the corner and wait.

That Bentley was like Quan Zhisui's exclusive car. It picked her up and dropped her off without anything to do with Zuo Zichen.

Quan Zhisui was also well-behaved, spending her days practicing martial arts and studying.

This week quickly passed halfway.

On Wednesday night, Zuo Zhiyu and Xu Zhiyi came back. The two elders were still traveling outside, with Xu Kuang following them the whole time.

The husband and wife did not dare to make a big fuss about their return, for fear that if Quan Zhisui found out, she would knock on their door again the next day.

Xu Zhiyi missed her son, so she still called her son to the study on the third floor and the family of three briefly chatted.

The superficial wounds on Zuo Zichen's body had faded away. Apart from the cast on his hand, there were no visible wounds anywhere else.

Zuo Zhiyu was completely unaware that his son had almost been beaten to death.

Second floor.

Quan Zhisui was doing homework until 10 pm. Her phone vibrated once in between when Fang Yue sent her a message, which was also withdrawn two minutes after sending.

She already knew that Zuo Zhiyu and Xu Zhiyi would come back today.

Hee hee!

The door smashing project can continue tomorrow morning!

...

Late at night, third floor study.

Zuo Zhiyu was about to go to bed. These days, he rarely had a good night's sleep. He came back and Quan Zhisui didn't know about it, so tonight would be another good sleep.

He was just worried about tomorrow and the day after... His return could not be kept secret for long!

At this time, Xu Zhiyi put down her wine glass, her eyes flickering: "Dear, I have an idea."

Zuo Zhiyu was a little impatient: "What idea do you have so late at night?"

After more than ten years of marriage, he had long lost interest in Xu Zhiyi. Letting her stay in the position of Mrs. Zuo was only because she gave birth to a son for the Zuo family.

What Zuo Zhiyu was thinking about now were those young women outside.

Xu Zhiyi was a little excited: "I was thinking, Zhisui gets up early every day, so she must go to bed early too, right?"

Zuo Zhiyu still didn't understand, frowning and asking, "So what do you mean?"

Xu Zhiyi: "Is she asleep now? Shouldn't we, as parents, go say goodnight to our daughter?!"

Zuo Zhiyu's eyes lit up.

Xu Zhiyi became more excited: "Dear! Zhisui is so well-behaved and sensible. She says good morning to us every day, so we should say goodnight to her too!"

Zuo Zhiyu: "You're right."

Xu Zhiyi stood up: "Then let's go now?"

Zuo Zhiyu smiled: "You go. After all, you are her stepmother. As a mother, you should care more about your daughter."

He certainly wasn't going to go. He couldn't be the bad guy in front of Quan Zhisui.

Xu Zhiyi's eyes were almost shining with excitement!

She was excited not only because she came up with this brilliant idea, but also because of Zuo Zhiyu's attitude.

Zuo Zhiyu obviously had issues with Quan Zhisui, and even seemed to dislike her for some reason. He just didn't openly clash with Quan Zhisui on the surface and indulged her endlessly.

Discovering this, Xu Zhiyi immediately had more ideas. That meant she could target Quan Zhisui, even torment her, as long as it wasn't in front of Zuo Zhiyu.

And Zuo Zhiyu would support her doing this! Even if Quan Zhisui tattled afterwards, he would surely gloss things over!

Looking at the time now, 2 am.

Quan Zhisui must be fast asleep!

Thinking of this, Xu Zhiyi was almost laughing with excitement!

She immediately put on a coat and went downstairs.

Second floor guest bedroom suite.

Zuo Zichen went to bed to sleep at 12 after finishing his game, curled up in the pink bedroom bed, sleeping soundly and even dreaming.

He dreamed that a woman ghost in a red dress was knocking on the door!

So scary!

Zuo Zichen fearfully started kicking his legs, trying to escape.

Knock knock! Knock knock knock--

The sound of knocking continued ceaselessly, again and again, like a death knell.

"Ah!!!"

Zuo Zichen was finally startled awake. He sat up with a scream, then realized someone was knocking on his door.

Knocking nonstop.

Someone really was knocking on the door!

So it was just a dream!

After waking up a bit, Zuo Zichen let out a sigh of relief, but was also somewhat irritated. He quickly turned on the light, got out of bed and opened the door.

If it was his sister, he could only swallow this irritation...

But when he opened the door, he saw his mom standing there in a red nightgown!

Zuo Zichen exploded at once: "Mom! Are you crazy?!"

Xu Zhiyi was still posed to knock on the door, her previously excited expression on her face instantly stiffening.

She shrieked: "Zichen?! What are you doing here?!"

Zuo Zichen was furious: "What am I doing here? I'm fucking sleeping here! Damn it!!"

Xu Zhiyi violently pushed him aside and went into the bedroom to look around: "Isn't this Zhisui's room? Where's Zhisui?!"

Zuo Zichen, also angry, pushed her back: "We changed rooms! Get out, I'm going to sleep! Are you insane, knocking so late at night?!"

Xu Zhiyi was pushed out by her son, watching as her precious son slammed the door shut heavily.

She was furious too!

They changed rooms?

Quan Zhisui had actually switched rooms with Zuo Zichen, she had snatched Zuo Zichen's big bedroom?!

That was the master bedroom she had personally supervised the renovation for her son, decorating it bit by bit for her son, and even specially hiring a Feng Shui master to assess it!

Quan Zhisui just came and snatched it away?!

Xu Zhiyi marched to the door of the second floor master bedroom, anger surging, and started pounding on the door.

Just knocking on the door was not enough to vent her anger. Soon, Xu Zhiyi started slamming on the door, just as hard as Quan Zhisui had slammed on the third floor door that day.

But she was not as strong as Quan Zhisui, and could not slam hard enough. In her fury, she started kicking it.

Bang! Bang bang bang!

The sound of kicking was huge, even Zuo Zhiyu on the third floor could hear it.

Zuo Zhiyu stood at the top of the stairs listening to the commotion, stubbornly resisting his curiosity and not going down to take a look.

After kicking for a long time and still not kicking the door open, Xu Zhiyi failed to get Quan Zhisui to open the door, but did wake up Zuo Zichen next door.

Zuo Zichen's face was completely gloomy as he strode over and stared at his own birth mother.

"Are you mentally ill? Do you need to see a doctor?"

At this moment, he really felt his mother was sick!

Xu Zhiyi was very upset, but she saw her son was about to explode with anger, so she could only appease him first: "Zichen, don't be angry. Mom just has something to discuss with your sister."

"What earth-shattering thing do you have to discuss at 2 am in the morning?! Has the sky fallen down or is there an earthquake?! Don't keep pounding on the door either, you might as well tear down the whole house! Everyone on all four floors can hear it!" Zuo Zichen nearly shouted.

Xu Zhiyi's face was extremely ugly. She started lecturing him: "Zichen, how can you talk to your mother like this?"

Zuo Zichen: "I don't have a mother this crazy!"

After saying that, he turned around and went back to the next door guest suite, locking both the living room and bedroom doors.

Xu Zhiyi felt very frustrated. She didn't understand how she could create such a big commotion but fail to wake up Quan Zhisui, yet disturb her precious son twice.

And make her son dislike her!

In the bedroom.

Quan Zhisui wore the noise-canceling earplugs Zuo Zichen had given her, lying on the ergonomic high-tech bed, comfortably turning over.

Sleeping soundly! She didn't wake up at all!
