Quick Transmigration: Will Even a Foolishly Popular Person Be Forced to Love Him?
Chapter 121 Brother's Succession 9
Yun Zhi didn't understand how the topic had jumped to this point, so she lowered her head following Su Lin's gaze and honestly said:
"This? I took this from the jewelry box."
As a private elite high school, students not only have uniform, well-fitting school uniforms, but are also required to pay attention to their demeanor.
Boys should wear their ties properly, and girls should wear their brooches properly.
As a well-known penniless girl, Yun Zhi always had Zhao Wangjing help her prepare brooches.
There was always a jewelry box prepared specifically for her in her room.
Zhao Wangjing had been spoiling Yun Zhi since she was a child, and after becoming Yun Zhi's boyfriend, he naturally took over everything for her.
Whether it's bespoke haute couture or extremely luxurious jewelry, even though Yun Zhi doesn't wear them often, she's never lacked them.
Every time Yunzhi went to school before, Zhao Wangjing would pin a brooch on her.
When Yunzhi saw the brooch on the table, she didn't think much of it, assuming that the housekeeper had prepared it for her outfit for the day. She felt relaxed and happily pinned it to her chest.
But Xiaolin doesn't look too good...
"...Did I do something wrong?" Yun Zhi asked cautiously.
Su Lin froze as she looked at the exceptionally vibrant color of the ruby brooch.
Even though her family background couldn't compare to the top students in the school, Su Lin was still a wealthy young lady and quite knowledgeable.
Rubies don't usually have such vibrant colors under normal light. If they exhibit such luster, it can only mean that a tiny, hidden mechanism inside is emitting light.
This is ZY Company's incredibly classic first-generation emulation monitor; Su Lin couldn't possibly be mistaken.
This listening device appeared quite early, so it wasn't as covert as the most advanced listening devices. Its functions were limited to listening and satellite positioning, without surveillance.
Electronic devices are updated and iterated very quickly, and this product is more than ten years old.
People who buy it are less interested in its performance and practicality and more interested in its commemorative value.
To put it more bluntly, the other party was completely displaying an indescribable, condescending arrogance.
Giving away a listening device, which is widely recognized by the public, as jewelry is an extremely presumptuous act in the eyes of anyone with a little common sense.
For those familiar with this listening device, anyone who can wear it without a care in the world is as if they have been openly branded by someone of high status and power, and are being completely kept under their control.
Previously, Su Lin had never seen such an obvious and typical listening device on Yun Zhi.
Although Zhao Wangjing has a strong desire to control Yun Zhi, he won't make it so obvious.
He would absolutely not allow anything to ruin his relationship with Yun Zhi.
This work is clearly not his doing.
Besides, Zhao Wangjing, who prepared this for Yunzhi, is already dead!
It's impossible for a dead person to keep a listening device running.
So, who else in the Zhao family could bypass Zhao Wangjing and give this incredibly classic listening device to Yun Zhi in front of them?
The ruby brooch flashed, as if mocking Su Lin's overestimation of her abilities.
The thought that all the words she had spoken to Yun Zhi after she came in were being listened to by someone more terrifying than a demon made Su Lin's face turn pale.
...She seems to be a little dead.
Who could have imagined that someone like Zhao Wanghuai would actually lay a hand on his brother's girlfriend so soon after Zhao Wangjing's death?
They even brazenly planted listening devices on the other party?
This state of mind clearly cannot be explained by simply playing around.
The second young master made no attempt to conceal his wolfish ambitions.
This is an extremely classic listening device that anyone at St. Night High School with a modicum of sense and knowledge could recognize.
...The only one I couldn't recognize was probably the graceful girl in front of me.
"What's wrong, Xiaolin? Are you feeling unwell? Let's go to the school clinic together..."
Yun Zhi didn't know why Su Lin suddenly looked so complicated. She leaned closer and looked at Su Lin with unconcealed worry.
No matter how she asked, all she got in the end was Su Lin's bitter smile.
"It's nothing, it's just..."
But Su Lin never said what it was.
Yunzhi spent the day in complete bewilderment.
Xu Ruo's strange attitude, Su Lin's complicated expression, and the equally eccentric classmates who spoke evasively...
The whole world has become a riddle, except for Yunzhi, who understands nothing.
Yun Zhi: ...I really hate it!
However, when Yunzhi returned home and did not see her mother as usual, she realized that something was seriously wrong.
In the original storyline, after Zhao Wangjing's death, Yun Zhi recklessly tried to seduce Zhao Wanghuai. Not only was she severely punished, but Yun Shu, Yun Zhi's mother, was also expelled from the Zhao family.
So on the very day her memories returned, Yunzhi told her mother that she needed to quit her job.
Over the years, Yunzhi lived and ate with Zhao Wangjing, who also gave her a lot of pocket money, which she never used and saved on a card for her mother.
In that case, even if Yun Shu is kicked out of the Zhao family, she will at least be able to live a comfortable life abroad.
But yesterday, Yun Shu went with the other servants to prepare for the funeral, and Yun Zhi didn't see her. She still didn't see her when she came home from school today...
Yunzhi quickly found the housekeeper: "Grandpa He, where's my mother?"
The housekeeper had worked at the old house for a long time, taking care of Zhao Wangjing almost from birth to adulthood. Yunzhi, whom Zhao Wangjing had taken in and raised when she was 6 years old, was practically like a granddaughter to him.
His eyes were filled with complex emotions, and he hesitated to speak: "...The second young master transferred her to another position."
The housekeeper didn't say where he would be transferred.
Yun Zhi was bewildered and somewhat incredulous: "Second...Second Young Master?"
Why is it Zhao Wanghuai again!
"Why did you call me?"
Just then, a mocking voice suddenly came from above.
Yun Zhi turned around and saw a handsome young man with frivolous features standing on the second-floor railing, looking down at her.
He's tall and has long legs, and this lazy posture gives him a special kind of charm. He tilts his head, and the smile on his face is particularly irritating.
Noticing Yun Zhi's gaze, Zhao Wanghuai walked down unhurriedly.
"Young Master..." The butler seemed to want to say something.
But Zhao Wanghuai only gave him a cold glance, and he could only shut up, looking at Yun Zhi with some worry, before retreating with his mind full of thoughts.
The huge hall was suddenly left with only Yun Zhi and Zhao Wanghuai.
