Chapter 6: The Scheming Money-Worshipping Substitute
It was a bit unexpected to meet Zhou Congli tonight. Linzhi was looking forward to the meeting tomorrow. She simply washed up and took a rest.

The next day she slept until noon, got up, went to the cafeteria to get a meal, ate it, went back to the dormitory and started watching TV series. She didn't start to clean up until it was almost time.

She curled her hair into slight curls with a curling iron and let it fall behind her. She put on Korean-style makeup, changed into the white dress she bought yesterday, matched with a black jacket and a pair of high heels, looking sweet and elegant.

The two roommates were a little surprised to see her dressed so solemnly: "Zhizhi, are you going out?"

Linzhi nodded: "I have a meeting." She smiled at the two of them and said, "I'll bring you milk tea when I come back." She picked up the vibrating cell phone and slung her bag over her shoulder.

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Okay, be careful on the road." A cup of milk tea is not worth much, but isn't that how friendship is made?

A cold snort came from Li Ke's bed, but the three of them didn't care. Lin Zhi and the two waved their hands and went downstairs.

Zhou Ye parked his car in front of the school gate as arrogantly as last time. Many people gathered in front of the red sports car to take pictures. However, he was not so good-tempered this time and invited her, the "princess", to get in the car.

Lin Zhi knocked on the window, and Zhou Ye opened the door impatiently without even looking at her.

As soon as she sat down, he drove out suddenly.

Lin Zhi frowned: "Slow down." She knew he was too lazy to pretend now, but he was driving so fast, did he want to kill someone?

Zhou Ye glanced at her and said, "I don't want to sit down!" Suddenly he noticed her clothes and froze for a moment, frowning, "Why are you dressed like this?"

Lin Zhi looked at him with a puzzled expression: "Don't I look good?" She looked at herself in the mirror. Her cheeks were rosy and plump. She looked much better than before when she was skinny. With her outfit, she looked like a gentle older sister. How could she not look good?

If there was anything that made him unhappy, it was probably that she looked nothing like his goddess.

After all, Li Ruoyao pursues tall and thin beauty, and the original owner didn’t have much flesh after losing weight before. Plus, the facial features are somewhat similar, so don’t they look alike at first glance?

Zhou Ye's face looked grim. He had pursued her before because she looked a bit like Ruoyao, and he wanted her to be a substitute. But now the only thing he liked about her was gone, and he became even more annoyed with Lin Zhi.

But he didn't say anything. He was going to bring her home today, so it would be better if she didn't look like him. If his parents found out, they would definitely not forgive him, and Ruoyao would probably be angry with him too.

Anyway, once the plan succeeds, this woman will be useless, so who cares what happens to her.

Seeing that he had fallen silent and was driving very fast, Lin Zhi knew what was in his mind after a little thought. She cursed him inwardly as a 'scumbag' and stopped talking. They were on the verge of a falling out and no one wanted to pay attention to the other.

The car shuttled through the crowded traffic and entered a villa half an hour later. It was a small red brick and tile house with retro floor-to-ceiling windows, a huge garden and a swimming pool. Its strength can be seen in City A, where every inch of land is valuable.

Zhou Ye got out of the car, threw the car keys to the housekeeper who came over, and went straight into the house without paying any attention to Lin Zhi.

Lin Zhi kept smiling, greeted the housekeeper, and slowly walked towards the villa.

Before she got closer, she heard laughter coming from the house. Zhou Ye was talking to a young woman. Her voice was joyful, and one could tell how much she loved the other.

"Aye, didn't you say you would bring your girlfriend back? Where is she?" asked an elderly female voice.

Zhou Ye seemed unwilling to answer: "In the back." Mrs. Zhou: "Auntie Wang, go and take a look."

The young female voice said, "Mom, let's go pick her up together. After all, it's her first time here." Mrs. Zhou didn't sound very happy. "Okay, then I'll listen to Yaoyao."

Lin Zhi heard someone walking towards the door, and then saw a tall woman supporting a middle-aged woman, and Zhou Ye followed behind with an impatient look on his face.

Mrs. Zhou was of medium build, with a jade bracelet on her fair wrist, and she looked pampered.

The woman... did look a bit like the original owner, but was taller and thinner. She was wearing a simple skirt that looked very expensive. With a smile on her lips, her eyes fell on her and she looked her over unceremoniously.

Mrs. Zhou didn't show any special expression on her face: "Ms. Lin, right?"

Lin Zhi curled her lips: "Hello, Auntie. I'm Zhou Ye's girlfriend. It's my first time visiting you and I'm bringing you a small gift. I hope you like it." She handed over an exquisite little box.

The servant took it, and Mrs. Zhou said calmly: "Come in, Zhou Ye has never said that he is in love, and we are not prepared."

Li Ruoyao also smiled and said, "Yes, Miss Lin, we didn't know Aye was in a relationship, we are very surprised. I don't know how you two got together? This guy is very difficult to deal with." Her eyes were curious.

Lin Zhi was a little embarrassed: "Actually, I'm not too sure. Aye said he fell in love with me at first sight and pursued me for a month. I saw his sincerity and agreed." She smoothed the hair around her ears, looking shy.

Li Ruoyao's mouth twitched, 'Aye' was exclusive to her, how could a gold digger be worthy of calling him that?
Besides, the phrase "love at first sight" made people uncomfortable. He glanced at Zhou Ye indifferently, and Zhou Ye suddenly became flustered. He quickly winked: It's all a show! Then he glared at Lin Zhi fiercely, telling her not to talk nonsense.

Lin Zhi looked puzzled: "Aye, what's wrong? Was what I said wrong?" She didn't want the two of them to feel comfortable today. What's more, Li Ruoyao's words were ulterior motives. She tried to instigate Mrs. Zhou that she was scheming and deliberately exposed Zhou Ye. Why should she be polite?

Mrs. Zhou immediately looked at Zhou Ye. Being stared at by several people, Zhou Ye could only say, "It was indeed me who pursued her."

Lin Zhi added shyly, "A few days ago, Aye said he would bring me to meet his uncle and aunt. I was so nervous that I didn't sleep well. I got up early today to prepare." She smiled at Mrs. Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou immediately had a better impression of her. At least she was not the kind of woman who would cling to her son. But even so, she didn't care much. At most, she wouldn't stop them from dating. As for when they reached marriageable age, she would let her son marry someone from a similar family background.

The two of them are in a good relationship now, so she won't be stupid enough to break them up. She can just wait until her son gets tired of her and then talk to him slowly.

The nanny brought fruit drinks. Mrs. Zhou talked to Lin Zhi for a while and then went to chat with Li Ruoyao. After all, this was her real daughter-in-law. The two talked about the current brands, fashion magazines, Zhou Ye, Zhou Congli, and Li Ruoyao's childhood stories.

The two families lived close to each other, so the three of them grew up together. However, Zhou Congli was busy with his studies, so Zhou Ye and Li Ruoyao were the ones who really spent time together.

Lin Zhi could feel Li Ruoyao's vague glances at her, and she felt very disdainful. But yes, both Zhou brothers belonged to her, and the Zhou family also recognized her. Of course, she did not take Lin Zhi, a substitute, seriously.

At this time, the sound of a car driving in was heard outside the house. Mr. Zhou, who had gone out fishing with his old friend, and Zhou Congli, who was busy working on his day off, finally came back.

Mrs. Zhou smiled and stood up to greet him, and Li Ruoyao followed.

Lin Zhi was walking behind and saw Zhou Ye holding Li Ruoyao's hand. Li Ruoyao glared at him and he reluctantly let go with an even uglier expression on his face.
