The next day.

Song Zhizhi woke up and went downstairs after changing into a clean dress and putting on some light makeup.

Nie Xiaofei and Nie Wenzhi were in the living room discussing Nie Xiaofei's birthday party today. When they saw Song Zhizhi, Nie Xiaofei said enthusiastically, "Sis, come join us! We're discussing the birthday party this afternoon."

In the past, Song Zhizhi would not have refused. She would even try her very best to help make Nie Xiaofei's party perfect.

But she was not so kind now.

Not getting a response from Song Zhizhi, Nie Xiaofei spoke again, "Oh, that's right, I invited Yi Wenhan too. It took a lot of effort to persuade him to come. You must be really happy to hear that, right, sis?"

"Yeah," Song Zhizhi agreed with a smile.

She was indeed happy because...she might be able to see a big joke happen later.

Song Zhizhi said, "There's something I need to take care of, so I have to go out for a while. I can't help you prepare for the party, but I'll definitely be back in time."

"That's okay. You go do what you need to do,"Nie Xiaofei had always behaved like a sweetheart.

Song Zhizhi turned around and left.

Right now, she did not want to waste any more time entertaining the Nie family members than was strictly necessary.

While looking at Song Zhizhi's departing back, Nie Xiaofei remarked thoughtfully, "Mom, don't you think Song Zhizhi seems different somehow?"

"Different?" Nie Wenzhi looked in Song Zhizhi's direction, not thinking much of it. "I watched her grow up and have my fingers wrapped tightly around her. She so much as raise an eyebrow and I'll know what she's thinking right away. It doesn't matter how different she becomes, she'll still be dancing on the palm of my hand."

Upon hearing her mother's reassuring words, Nie Xiaofei felt that she might indeed be overthinking. Her mother was an exceptional person. A mere Song Zhizhi was no match for them.

Song Zhizhi, who was currenty sitting in Uncle Zhang's car, had no idea what the venomous mother-daughter pair were discussing. Fortunately, she knew their true colors now.

She picked up the phone and dialed a number. It was quickly answered.

"Dad."

"Oh, Zhizhi. What's the matter?"

"Dad, are you busy with work today?"

"What's wrong, honey?"

"I'm planning to visit the Ji family right now, and I'd like you to come with me."

"Again? So suddenly?" Song Shan frowned and contemplated for a moment. "Wait for me for a minute. I'll come over after making some work arrangement."

"Then I'll go to the Ji household first and wait for you there."

"Be careful what you say, alright?" Song Shan warned.

"I know."

Song Zhizhi hung up the phone and looked out of the window in deep thought.

To her, calling off the engagement was an ancient matter that felt like it happened hundreds of years ago. She had almost completely forgotten what the scene looked like. She only recalled that she was really emotional and really determined, so much so that she did not give the other party a single opportunity to retort.
