Chasing You Like a Tenacious Falcon-Chapter 18: Knock every day, Keep the torture.

The next day.

Quan Zhisui got up early in the morning and went to the courtyard to practice her martial arts basics.

She had slept well last night, but her pulled muscles meant she couldn't train intensely today, so she could only do some recovery exercises.

If Master was here it would be better. Yesterday she just needed a Daoist doctor to press on the right spots for a few minutes and she wouldn't be this sore today.

But would Master scold her for being so reckless at Liangxi?

Thinking of this, Quan Zhisui suddenly laughed.

She remembered when she was little, she and her martial brothers got in trouble together, and Master chased them with a rattan cane, from the top of the mountain to the bottom. The few of them ran all over the mountain like monkeys, even planning escape routes to split up!

Ah, she was so carefree and happy back then...

...

In the small staff kitchen, a big group of people were eating breakfast while watching Quan Zhisui practice martial arts, chatting excitedly.

Ma Xinwei exclaimed: "Good heavens! She can still get up early to practice boxing after yesterday? Her mentality, I'm really impressed! With such a big incident yesterday, the Left family were either crazy, crying, or sleepless last night. I bet only the young miss slept till dawn right?"

Zhao Lin: "That's right, the young master was washing up last night and had to stop halfway to go to the hospital again. He couldn't do it himself so got the nurse to clean him up, he was covered in vegetable leaves and oil."

Gu Lan: "The look in the young master's eyes yesterday, it was murderous."

Fang Yue frowned: "Keep your voices down."

Zhao Lin: "Xu Kuang is never around, that guy sleeps in every day, connections can really get away with anything."

Fang Yue: "This is a big matter, everyone be more careful with work recently, don't provoke him when he's upset."

Zhao Lin: "Alright alright I know! Of course I'll work properly, we're just chatting over breakfast with no outsiders around, just casual chat!"

Ma Xinwei chuckled: "I was scared silly yesterday, the young miss is really awesome!"

Gu Lan patted her chest: "Even now when I think back my heart starts racing! You guys weren't there to see the scene, it was terrifying!"

Zhao Lin: "What's so scary, it was thrilling!"

Gu Lan shook her head: "She has an exceptionally explosive temper, I wonder how she'll get along with the master from now on."

Zhao Lin was suddenly curious: "The master didn't say anything last night? He didn't go bang on the young miss's door and kick her out?"

"No!" The third floor attendant Gan Mengyu joined in the gossip: "It's really unbelievable! I've never seen the master endure like this for a whole day, he was holed up in the study all night, emo the whole time."

Ma Xinwei shook his head: "Since you didn't see, who knows if he was really emo, maybe he was just saving face and secretly smashing the sofa!"

Gan Mengyu rolled her eyes around and whispered: "I eavesdropped, not a peep, it was like he was stunned or numb. "

Gu Lan: "I feel it's the calm before the storm, neither the master nor mistress are easy to get along with."

Zhao Lin suddenly looked to Fang Yue: "Old Fang, you saw the master's original wife before, the young miss has an even more explosive temper than the master, fierce and sharp, did she inherit it from the previous mistress?"

Fang Yue's hand shook and he rapped the table: "Don't ask what you shouldn't, eat!"

Everyone stopped talking, only Ma Xinwei and Zhao Lin exchanged a look, both instinctively raising their eyebrows as their gazes shifted, flashing with excitement.

...

The dining room was cleared up, but repairs were needed, with several damaged spots on the walls and cabinets, and soup stains on the ceiling. The Left family would be eating in the side hall these next few days.

Quan Zhisui arrived on time but unexpectedly found someone already sitting in the main seat.

Today, Zuo Zichen had come for breakfast, his schoolbag on the seat next to him, was he going to school?

Simply unbelievable!

But Quan Zhisui ignored him and sat in the spot furthest from him, waiting for Gu Lan to serve her food.

Zuo Zichen kept his head down eating with his left hand the whole time, refusing all interaction.

At 6:55am Quan Zhisui put down her utensils.

Knock knock!

She rapped on the table.

Zuo Zichen looked up suspiciously.

Quan Zhisui looked straight at him: "From now on, no using the car during my school commute times without permission."

Zuo Zichen laughed angrily: "This is my house! Zhao Lin is my chauffeur! I haven't settled things with you about yesterday yet! Who the hell do you think you are?"

Before his words fell - 𝓯𝑟𝓮ℯ𝘸ℯ𝘣𝑛ℴ𝘷ℯ𝓵.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Quan Zhisui single-handedly gripped the table edge: "Do you believe I can flip it again?"

Zuo Zichen's pupils constricted, and he quickly jumped up.

Quan Zhisui got up and wiped her mouth: "Don't leave before I get in the car."

Zuo Zichen: "......"

Quan Zhisui shouldered her schoolbag and headed upstairs to the third floor.

Zuo Zichen watched her back, filled with both anger and frustration!

He had thought last night would see the strongest argument or beating in the family's history, but unexpectedly nothing had happened, only his own sorry state.

Not only did Dad not blame Quan Zhisui, he even forbid them from knocking on her door, telling him to reflect carefully.

Zuo Zichen felt his emotions were close to collapse!

But he didn't know that something even more shocking and devastating for him was about to happen.

Quan Zhisui arrived at the main bedroom door on the third floor right on time as usual, and reached out to knock on the door.

Knock knock knock! Bang bang bang!

She was a little rushed today, going quickly from knocking to banging on the door.

Xu Zhiyi was woken up with bloodshot eyes, she had only slept at dawn after a night of crying and making trouble, yet still failed to change Zuo Zhiyu's decision.

So her mind was still in a fog now.

Zuo Zhiyu likewise did not sleep well, only returning from the study to the bedroom at dawn. His whole body felt drained, he had been emotionally volatile the whole night, one moment collapsing in madness, the next baring his teeth in a grimace.

He found this daughter very hard to control.

In the end Zuo Zhiyu had formulated several plans overnight until his hair was practically white.

Right now the two were woken by the terrifying sound of knocking, lying in bed unmoving.

Finally, the knocking grew violently wild, accompanied by Quan Zhisui's roaring voice.

"Dad!!!"

She yelled with energy channeled to her lower abdomen, like the roar of a lion.

Downstairs, Zuo Zichen who had just exited the side hall almost tripped, looking up to the upper floor in disbelief.

If he didn't mishear, was that lunatic Quan Zhisui knocking on the door shouting Dad?!

Zuo Zhiyu nearly went mad, forced to get out of bed to open the door.

Xu Zhiyi buried her head under the blanket, and picking up from her tears last night began crying again, genuinely crying this time!

Swish -

After Zuo Zhiyu opened the door, he looked at the person before him wearily, with a flash of resentment in his eyes.

Quan Zhisui ignored his expression, brightly saying: "Dad! Good morning!"

Zuo Zhiyu: "......"

Quan Zhisui's upturned lips immediately fell, and her face sank: "Dad, why don't you say good morning back?"

Zuo Zhiyu: "......Good morning."

Quan Zhisui immediately smiled again: "Dad I'm going to school!"

Zuo Zhiyu: "......Go on."

He closed the door.

After returning to bed, Zuo Zhiyu lay stiffly on his back with eyes wide open.

Beside him Xu Zhiyi also lay stiffly, tears flowing.

Right now both wanted to die.

...

Going down the stairs Quan Zhisui passed the round-eyed, stunned Zuo Zichen expressionlessly with a glance.

Zuo Zichen watched her as if seeing a ghost.

Quan Zhisui sneered and strode out, the first to sit in the Bentley rear.

Zuo Zichen felt unwilling to concede, following right after her.
