Chapter -15
 Youâre Coming With Me to Apologize to Wen Ying Tomorrow
The walk-in closet on the second floor.
The servants soon brought up several huge black garbage bags and bowed apologetically toward Yu Zhi.
âIâm sorry, Miss Yu. We really donât have the kind of woven sacks you asked forâwould these large trash bags do?â
Yu Zhi quickly took the bags and bowed back repeatedly.
âYes, yes, yes! Thank you so much!â
Pei Nianâan couldnât help but laugh at the sight.
In front of the closet, Yu Zhi carefully opened each transparent cabinet door and began tidying up for the young miss.
Brand-new clothes still with tags were folded neatly to one side; only the wrinkled, worn-looking ones in the corner did she reluctantly stuff into the garbage bags.
An hour later, when Pei Nianâan came in with a yogurt in hand, Yu Zhi had barely filled one bag.
âTsk,â Pei Nianâan frowned, âat this rate, youâll be at it forever.â
She pressed the intercom button on the wall.
âIâll call a few people up to help you.â
âOkay, sure.â Yu Zhi sighed. âPei-jie, the thing is⌠all your clothes are designer pieces. I canât bring myself to throw them out.â
Pei Nianâan rolled her eyes.
âI told youâdonât be polite. Take whatever you want.â
She pointed toward a dusty storage box in the corner.
âThat box is full of last seasonâs bags. You can have them.â
Yu Zhi followed her finger, looked insideâand nearly choked on her own saliva.
Those werenât last seasonâs bagsâthey were timeless luxury classics!
âTheseâthese are really all for me?â Yu Zhi held up a crocodile-skin Birkin, her voice trembling.
Pei Nianâan stirred her yogurt lazily.
âMm. Theyâre a year or two old. I got tired of them.â
Staring at the box of designer handbags, Yu Zhi felt her breathing grow shallow. She had to pinch the bridge of her nose to stop herself from fainting.
Pei Nianâan watched her expression, equal parts disgusted and amused.
âLook at you. No composure at all.â
She turned to leave.
âTake your time picking. Iâm going to change. Oh, rightââ
She suddenly turned back and tossed a small box to Yu Zhi, who nearly bit her tongue in fright as she was secretly kissing one of the handbags.
âSome admirer gave me this ages ago. Itâs ugly as hell. You can have it if you like.â
Yu Zhi carefully opened the orange boxâand nearly dropped to her knees.
Inside lay a Patek Philippe watch, its diamond-encrusted dial glittering under the light.
âThis⌠this is what you call ugly as hell?â Yu Zhi held the watch, half-laughing, half-crying. âPei-jie, I think you might have a serious misunderstanding about what âuglyâ meansâŚâ
She secretly pulled out her phone and looked up the price.
A second laterâ
âSystem! System!â she screamed inwardly.
Three hundred thousand! Even reselling it secondhand would fetch at least two hundred thousand!
Oh my god, she was rich!
This wasnât a vicious supporting female characterâthis was a walking money fountain!
Yu Zhi blinked at Pei Nianâan.
Sheâd made up her mind: even without the systemâs help, she was never letting go of Pei Nianâanâs golden thigh!
Before long, several servants arrived. Clearly used to this kind of thing, they efficiently packed up several full bags of clothes.
Just as Yu Zhi was mentally calculating how much she could get for all this at a luxury resale store, she suddenly heard a commotion downstairs.
Then came the faint voice of a servant:
âYoung Master Gu, the young lady is upstairs. Please wait a moment.â
At that exact moment, Pei Nianâan stepped out of her bedroom.
Yu Zhi said,
âPei-jie, I think I just heard someone downstairs say âYoung Master Guâââ
Before she could finish, Pei Nianâanâs eyes lit up and she dashed toward the stairs.
âBrother Chengnian is here?â
Halfway down, she stopped and turned back to Yu Zhi.
âCome with me.â
Yu Zhi, of course, didnât refuse.
At the staircase landing, Pei Nianâan whispered excitedly:
âDo you think Brother Chengnian came to apologize to me? Should I forgive him?â
Yu Zhi sighed inwardly.
From her years of experience reading Mary Sue novels, Gu Chengnian probably did not come to apologize.
She thought for a moment and said carefully,
âPei-jie, I think that no matter what Gu Chengnian saysââ
Before she could finish, a tall figure appeared at the turn of the stairs.
Gu Chengnian, dressed in a white shirt with his sleeves rolled up, looked up at them coldly.
âPei Nianâan. Come down. We need to talk.â
Hearing that tone, Yu Zhi immediately rolled her eyes.
But Pei Nianâan, as if receiving a royal summons, happily trotted downstairs.
Yu Zhi followed slowly, already planning how she might help Pei Nianâan get some payback.
Once in the living room, Pei Nianâan quickly directed the butler:
âHurry, pour Brother Chengnian some water! Brother Chengnian, what do you want to eat? Iâll have them make it for you!â
âNo need.â Gu Chengnian raised a hand to stop her.
âI have something to say. Iâll leave after that.â
Locking eyes with her, he went straight to the point:
âWhy did you hit Wen Ying today?â
The air in the room instantly froze.
Pei Nianâanâs face changed. She forced down her anger and looked at him.
âBrother Chengnian, are you here to interrogate me?â
Seeing her show no hint of remorse, Gu Chengnianâs brows knitted tightly.
âDo you know you cut her forehead open?â His voice rose.
âHave you even thoughtâsheâs also a girl! What if that leaves a scar?â
âI paid her!â Pei Nianâan pulled out her phone, righteously indignant.
âAfraid of a scar? Fine, Iâll transfer her money for medical treatment right now!â
âMoney, money, money! Pei Nianâan, thatâs all you ever think about!â
Gu Chengnian slammed his palm on the coffee table, making the teacups rattle.
âHow did you become like this? Donât you understand that not everything can be solved with money?â
Silence filled the room.
Gu Chengnian stood, his tone firm and cold.
âTomorrow, youâre coming with me to apologize to Wen Ying.â
Pei Nianâanâs face flushed bright red with fury.
âMe? Apologize to her? Why should I?!â
Her voice sharpened.
âBrother Chengnian, get your facts straight! You were the one who said youâd sit with me in classâbut you sat with her instead! Then after class she provoked me! If she got hurt, she deserved it!â
âPei Nianâan!â Gu Chengnianâs brows furrowed so tightly a fly could be trapped between them.
âStop making excuses! Wen Ying is so gentleâhow could she possibly provoke you?â
Pei Nianâanâs mouth opened, but no words came out. Her eyes turned red.
Seeing her at a loss, Yu Zhi immediately stepped forward.
âYoung Master Gu, there were reasons for what happened today. You canât just put all the blame on Pei-jie.â
âShut up.â
Gu Chengnianâs cold gaze swept over her before turning back to Pei Nianâan.
âPei Nianâan, keep hanging around with lackeys like her, and theyâll destroy you sooner or later.â
