The Mysterious Heiress: Researcher In Disguise-Novel2

Chapter 550: Another Wrong Move From Wu Zhiheng – 1

It was already 4:00 pm by the time Fu Zhi and Lu Jingqing returned to the villa.

All of the bosses had exchanged WeChat IDs with Lu Jingqing when they were at the Lucky Cloud Pavilion. Even though a few hours had passed, they were still sending him messages, asking if he had arrived home as well as greeting him again. This was the reality. Everyone hit, stomped, or stepped on a man when he fell from grace, and they would begin currying favor with him when he rose up again.

Lu Jingqing replied to some of them and entered the villa.

Fu Zhi was exhausted. She had pulled an all-nighter playing with her phone last night, and she needed sleep right now.

After Lu Jingqing told Xu Wei everything that happened in the Lucky Cloud Pavilion today, he turned to Fu Zhi and said, “It’s all thanks to Fu Zhi. If she didn’t follow me to the stone gambling festival, with those experts that I brought, I might not be able to get anything today.”

Fu Zhi shook her head. “You don’t have to thank me, dad. After all, we’re a family, right?”

Lu Jingqing was stunned, but he regained his senses very soon. He nodded firmly as he asked, “I believe you’re tired. Go and take some rest. We will let you know when the dinner is ready.”

Xu Wei then hurriedly chimed in, “Yes, yes, yes! Zhizhi, you should go and take a nap. Don’t play with your phone anymore, and I’ll call you up later.”

Fu Zhi nodded and she went back to her room to take a nap.

After roughly an hour—she couldn’t tell—she was woken up by a series of sounds of pots and pans falling around.

Fu Zhi went downstairs in bewilderment, and then she saw Xu Wei, who was holding a bat and was having a battle with a fish in the kitchen. It seemed to Fu Zhi that Xu Wei was trying to kill the fish by batting its head, but she kept missing her target. In the end, it was the fish itself that rammed its head against her bat to free itself from this endless torture.

Fu Zhi did not know what to say.

Xu Wei was a little bit frustrated as she talked to the person through the phone.

“Didn’t I tell you to send deer blood and mutton by tonight? What? No! I can’t wait that long! Yes, you’ve got to send those ingredients to me by tonight. My family is exhausted and I have to cook something nice to invigorate them...”

The man said, “We only have bull pizzle with us right now, and the effect is immediate. If you still think it’s not enough, you can get some Viagra from the hospital...”

“What? No! It’s not for my husband!” Xu Wei explained. She did not think her husband needed those as well. “Anyway, just send whatever you have to me. Let me know when you’re here. I’ll send my men to pick those ingredients from you.”

Xu Wei was wearing an apron and she looked just like a loving mother. It was just that there was something Fu Zhi did not understand. If she was not going to use those ingredients on Lu Jingqing, who else was she going to use them on?

Was her father getting cuckolded by his wife?

Was it because she gave her mother too much money recently, and she had become bad?

Just when Fu Zhi was trapped in her own thoughts, Xu Wei had already put the fish in a bowl.

Then, she caught a glimpse of her daughter on the staircase, who appeared to be confused. She waved her hand at her daughter and handed a bowl of turtle soup to her. Her eyes were filled with so much affection as she patted Fu Zhi’s cheek and said, “Deer blood and mutton will arrive later. You can have this first...”

When she was talking, tears began to well in her eyes. “You must have used some kind of mysterious power like your third eye to help your father this time. I heard that it’s exhausting and it’ll do harm to your body to use this kind of mysterious power, so you have to fill up those lost energies as soon as possible or else you might become weaker and weaker!”

Fu Zhi was stunned.

It only appeared to her that those ingredients were for her!

She looked at Xu Wei and sighed, “You should stop watching so many unrealistic dramas.”

How was there any possibility that she would have a mysterious power? What was she? Wonder woman?

It was just that she had been very interested in stone gambling since she was young. When she first stepped into the stone gambling industry, she was not as good as she was right now, and the consequences of making a wrong decision in stone gambling were often disastrous. The silver lining was that she was financially supported by different families at that time, that’s why she could participate in the stone gambling without any worries.

Then, after years of training, she became better and better at stone gambling, and she was a lot more experienced than Chu Yunsheng.

Fu Zhi was considered as the tertiary consumer in this food chain known as stone gambling. Otherwise, there was no way those moguls and tycoons in the group would do everything she said.

“We’re a family, so you don’t have to hide it from me! Mommy understands!” Xu Wei said. Then, she went closer to Fu Zhi and whispered, “Don’t worry, I’ll not tell anyone that you have a superpower, and I’ll do my best to protect you from those scientists from bringing you into a laboratory. Anyway, hurry up and drink the soup. Mommy still has to go back to the kitchen to prepare the rest of the food!”

Fu Zhi did not know what to say. She wanted to tell her mother that she did not have any kind of superpower, but it seemed to her that her mother would not listen.

“Mom, I don’t have any superpower. I can get those stones because I...”

Before she could finish her sentence, Xu Wei’s eyes turned red around the rims and tears began to fall from her eyes. “I understand, Zhizhi. I understand. You just don’t want me to worry about you, but how can I not worry about you? Mommy is too useless. I can’t help you with anything at all! From today onward, I’m going enroll myself in a university. I’m going to take part in the national post-graduate entrance examination to become a professor so that I can be more useful to you!”

Fu Zhi opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she did not know what she should say.

Perhaps they were causing too much of a commotion, Lu Jingqing came down from the study. When he saw Xu Wei, he instantly understood everything and he went to give her a pat on her shoulder.

When Xu Wei saw her husband, she threw herself into his arms and beat his chest.

Fu Zhi could see that her father’s face contorted into a grimace of pain and he nearly fell to the floor when her mother’s tiny fist landed on his chest.

Xu Wei firmly believed that Fu Zhi had a superpower.

Fu Zhi thought for a while and asked, “What’s the that you’re reading lately.”

Xu Wei pulled a book out of her pocket and replied, “The King of Gamblers and his Billion Dollar Wives.”

Fu Zhi soon understood everything. She did not know what she should say, so she just stammered, “You... You should stop reading this kind of , it might...”

“It will have a bad influence on people, especially kids. But only those sissies would read this kind of ,” Ye Jiu chimed in before Fu Zhi could finish her sentence, “A boy like me usually read “The Fourth Demon Young Master and his downtrodden Cinderella”.”

Xu Wei and Fu Zhi became speechless, and Lu Jingqing was stunned.

‘Luckily we’re not boys.’

Ye Jiu then went up to Fu Zhi and studied her face. “You look so beautiful today even though you don’t put on any make-up... Wow, you have two eyes and a mouth! How fascinating!”

Fu Zhi replied emotionlessly, “Just tell me what you want.”

“I heard that you have gotten four Grade S jades today, right? Well, I’ve been having a rough life recently...”

Fu Zhi did not want to ask how rough his life was, but Ye Jiu’s expression was too serious, especially his eyes. He fixed his gaze on her face, and it occurred to her that he was going to say, “Wow! You even have a brain inside of your head!” next.

Therefore, she asked, emotionlessly, “You’ve been having a rough life lately?”

“I’m a little bit low on cash,” Ye Jiu said, “Honestly, I’m poor now. Everything here’s so expensive!”

Fu Zhi squinted her eyes and looked at him. Then, she grabbed his hand and said, “Then you have to hold on! No pain, no gain. I’m sure you will become a great man if you can survive through this! But I know you surely can make it through this! I have faith in you!”

Ye Jiu fell silent.

Meanwhile, the Wus had returned to the hotel.

Now that there were no more outsiders around them, Wu Qi unleashed all his anger on Chu Yunsheng by giving him a kick.

“How dare you, Wu Qi! Do you know I...”

“I know! Of course I know!” Wu Qi interrupted.

They were surrounded by the Wu Family’s bodyguards. Each of them had an imposing look, but their eyes were glassy behind the sunglasses as they were going to lose their job soon.

“You’re the great Chu Yunsheng! The one who wields God’s Eyes? Bullsh*t! You couldn’t even defeat a 17 years old little girl, and you still dare to call yourself a master?! Look what have you done today! You handed the jade stone over to Fu Zhi! That Dragonstone Jade should’ve been ours! Besides, had it not been for you to ask us to have faith in you, we would never have bid on that jade stone No. 20. I spent more than 300 million today, and yet all I get are nothing but useless rocks! It’s all your fault!”

The secretary behind Wu Qi also chimed in, “That’s right, Chu Yunsheng. Nobody is going to ask you for your opinion anymore. Your career is destroyed and you’re nobody right now!”

“You have to pay for all the loss we suffered, Chu Yunsheng!”

“Could it be that you’ve been working with Fu Zhi all along? You’re an undercover she sent to us so that you can lure us into her trap?!”

Chu Yunsheng did not dare to say anything and just kept his head low. He knew that Wu Qi was pushing all the blames on him right now, but there was nothing he could do. He was all alone and he did not have the confidence to go up against a bunch of people by himself.

Therefore, he could only say, “I don’t know how this can be happening as well, President Wu. I hate that little girl to the core, so there’s no way I will work with her to set up a trap for you guys. But don’t you feel strange, President Wu? Fu Zhi is just a girl. How can she be more professional than me in stone gambling? There must be something fishy going on!” action

‘Of course she’s more professional than you! She’s the bigshot who gave us suggestions in the group!’

It was only now that Wu Qi saw through everything.

As a successful businessman, he would always reflect on himself so that he would not make the same mistake again if this was a general mistake. However, this time was different. He saw no chance for him to rise again, so he could only unleash his anger on Chu Yunsheng.

While the bodyguards were beating Chu Yunsheng up, Wu Zhiheng fell into contemplation after he heard what Chu Yunsheng had said.

‘Why Fu Zhi could defeat Chu Yunsheng? Why would stone No. 20 end up as a useless stone while most of the people in the group said it’s good? Could it be that it’s their fault?’

Just as he was locked in his thoughts, new messages came into the stone gambling group and he opened it up.

It seemed to him that Bai Ji, the Lius, and the Wangs were celebrating something.
