Chasing You Like a Tenacious Falcon

Wei Jingsan was still being held back by Qian Cheng, preventing him from meeting Quan Zhisui.

This old man was about to lose his mind, and on this particular day, he nearly threw his wheelchair off the third floor!

"Let me go down and have fun! I want to fish too!" he kept shouting.

Qian Cheng was picking up the mess Wei Jingsan had made, patiently trying to calm him down: "Mr. Wei, she’s only staying for a few days. The summer before senior year is short. Just bear with it a little longer."

He was also on the verge of losing it.

Wei Jingsan had long accepted Qian Cheng’s presence by his side, knowing full well that he was arranged by Wei Shixu. He didn’t resist much; it was more like he didn’t care.

The Wei family loved playing their cards openly!

Wei Jingsan’s daily routine consisted of managing the company and staying up late to act out his eccentricities. After all, he was getting older and didn’t have as much ambition. He let his scheming grandson do as he pleased—how bad could it really get?

Nowadays, the old man was more focused on having fun.

But when it came to Quan Zhisui, Wei Jingsan was unusually persistent, determined to stir up trouble!

At his worst, he even snuck to the second floor in the middle of the night to play ghost, trying to scare the young girl.

Thankfully, Qian Cheng stopped him in time!

These bizarre antics happened daily, and no one knew when it would end.

Qian Cheng was sick of having to hold him back!

...

Finally, just before school started, Quan Zhisui contacted Xu Zhiyi.

They met at a coffee shop.

Xu Zhiyi’s mental state was a mess. Her hair was disheveled, her clothes were thrown on carelessly, and she had dark circles under her eyes. She looked like she had been through something terrifying as she met Quan Zhisui.

Seeing her like this, Quan Zhisui found it hard to connect her with the elegant woman who had been sipping red wine on the sofa during their first meeting.

"Zhisui!" Xu Zhiyi clasped her hands together, nervously rubbing her fingers. "You have to help me, Zhisui! Hou Qiaoling is terrifying, and her son is even worse. That mother and son duo are complete lunatics!"

Quan Zhisui didn’t respond, simply taking a sip of her coffee.

Xu Zhiyi was frantic, trying to piece together her thoughts: "Here’s the thing, Zhisui. You might not know this, but I was actually classmates with your mom and dad in college."

Quan Zhisui set her coffee cup down, waiting for her to continue.

Xu Zhiyi kept fidgeting with her fingers: "I’m sorry, it’s my fault. Back then, your dad was the campus heartthrob. He was so handsome, and I had a crush on him for years. Even after graduation, when he was already married to your mom, I couldn’t let go. Then, when your mom was pregnant..."

Quan Zhisui cut her off: "You can skip those details."

The last thing she wanted to hear right now was the word "heartthrob."

"Okay, okay," Xu Zhiyi quickly stopped herself and got to the point: "I wanted to tell you that when your mom started her venture capital company, she gathered a group of classmates who were into finance."

Quan Zhisui suddenly looked up at Xu Zhiyi, surprised to hear this coming from her stepmother.

Seeing her reaction, Xu Zhiyi lowered her voice and continued: "Actually, your mom had two venture capital companies. One was Muyou in Liangxi Town, which no longer exists, and the other is overseas!"

Quan Zhisui was shocked. Even Zuo Zhiyu didn’t know about this. How did Xu Zhiyi find out?

Xu Zhiyi seemed to get more excited as she spoke, pulling out her phone to show Quan Zhisui a photo: "This person, this photo—take a look! Zhisui, look at this!"

Quan Zhisui took the phone and glanced at the picture.

It was a group photo of her mother and a man.

It was an old photo from twenty years ago. Her mother, Quan Feng, looked stunningly beautiful, her radiant smile full of charm.

The man standing next to her wasn’t as handsome as Zuo Zhiyu had been in his youth, but he had a refined and elegant aura.

As Quan Feng smiled, the man looked down at her with an unreadable expression in his eyes.

"His name is Zhang Lai," Xu Zhiyi said, her eyes gleaming. "He was one of your mom’s admirers back then, and he’s also a key member of the overseas venture capital company!"

Quan Zhisui put the phone down and looked at Xu Zhiyi: "What do you want from me by telling me all this?"

Xu Zhiyi immediately replied: "Help me fight for the Zuo family’s assets! I need your help, Zhisui!"

Quan Zhisui smiled faintly: "Aunt Xu, I still have to take my college entrance exams and go to university."

Xu Zhiyi grew desperate: "Zhisui! You probably don’t realize how powerful your mom’s overseas venture capital company is. I’ve already contacted Zhang Lai. You won’t be short on money—that company is incredibly wealthy! By then, you won’t even care about the Zuo Group, I swear! Trust me!"

"Zhang Lai loved your mom. If he finds out about you, he’ll do anything to help you! All I want is the Zuo family’s assets. Compared to the overseas venture capital company, the Zuo Group is nothing!"

"You take the big share, I’ll take the small one. Can’t we work together?!"

She was desperate and anxious.

Quan Zhisui stirred her coffee, keeping her head down and saying nothing.

Xu Zhiyi couldn’t hold back: "Zhisui, don’t you believe me?"

After a long pause, Quan Zhisui finally said, "Alright. Give me Zhang Lai’s contact information."

Xu Zhiyi quickly snatched her phone back, shaking her head: "Zhisui, cooperation requires trust. You help me, and I’ll act as the middleman between you and Zhang Lai. I’ll get him to come back to the country to meet you."

Quan Zhisui smiled: "How do you want me to help you?"

Xu Zhiyi, now ecstatic, said: "Your dad! You know he’s been looking for you, right? He’s desperate. I think he’s after the inheritance your mom left for you!"

Quan Zhisui tilted her head, feigning confusion: "So Dad wants the money Mom left for me?"

Xu Zhiyi: "Exactly! Listen, Zhisui, the only one who can help you now is Zhang Lai. Work with him—and with me—and together we’ll take your dad down!"

Xu Zhiyi slammed the table: "Your dad’s been fooling around with women all the time! Why should I hold onto any feelings for him? Now that this opportunity is right in front of us, why not take it? All I ask is that when we take him down, you get the larger share of the overseas venture capital company, and I’ll take the smaller share of the Zuo Group."

She emphasized: "Compared to the overseas venture capital company, the Zuo Group is nothing! You won’t lose out—no, you’ll come out way ahead!"

Quan Zhisui smiled faintly: "Is that so?"

"Yes!" Xu Zhiyi grabbed her hand, excited: "Zhisui, work with me. It’s a win-win! And we’ll avenge your mom. If it weren’t for your dad’s affairs and your grandparents constantly causing trouble, your mom wouldn’t have had a hemorrhage while giving birth to you!"

Quan Zhisui: "Oh, so my mom died because of them?"

Xu Zhiyi: "Well, not exactly. It was an accident, but they’re definitely responsible!"

Quan Zhisui nodded: "Right, and so are you."

Xu Zhiyi: "..."

Quan Zhisui suddenly circled back: "I’ve heard what you said. Go contact Uncle Zhang Lai. I’ll take down my dad."

Xu Zhiyi was overjoyed!
