The piano room where Teacher Qiu taught was relatively close to the old city. If she could finish the get out of class early, she would have time to visit Zhou's father and mother.

Zhou Wanyi had even arranged the route and everything. "It's perfect. The next step is to send a message to Shi Miao and the others."

He roughly explained the situation that he couldn't help her with homework. Although Shi Miao felt sorry, she agreed without saying anything.

After agreeing on a time with Teacher Qiu, Zhou Wanyi changed his clothes and went out half an hour earlier the next day. Unexpectedly, he received a call from Jiang Zhi before leaving.

"elder brother!"

Jiang Zhi was stunned for a second before he chuckled, "You look so happy. It seems I was too busy with work to pay attention to you."

She stamped her feet a little embarrassedly, "No, I just sounded a little excited."

"Okay, I'm happier." Knowing that she was embarrassed, Jiang Zhi tried to smooth things over, "But I'm not very busy today, do you want to have lunch with me?"

"Have lunch?" Zhou Wanyi was a little conflicted. If she had lunch with Jiang Zhi, then there might not be enough time in the afternoon, and she would not have enough time to go to the old city.

Hearing the confusion in her tone, Jiang Zhi asked her curiously, "Is there something wrong with you?"

"No...no, it's just that I have to go to the piano room today, and I wonder if my brother is willing to wait for me there to have lunch together." Zhou Wanyi thought about it and decided that Jiang Zhi also knew about her adoptive parents, so it should be okay for her to go with him at that time.

Jiang Zhi said disapprovingly: "It's just this matter, it's not a problem at all, send me a message when you're done."

Zhou Wan nodded in agreement and got in the car to go to the piano room.

Just as she was leaving, the door of the villa suddenly opened a crack. Cui Wanning, with only half of her face exposed, stared at the direction Zhou Wanyi left.

During the holidays, she had been outside investigating Zhou Wanyi's past. After some twists and turns, she found Zhou Wanyi's former high school classmate. Yesterday, Cui Wanning specially asked that high school classmate to come out.

After some questioning, Cui Wanning learned a lot of things. The strangest thing was that the piano lessons offered by their school required payment, and Zhou Wan's family was very poor and could not afford to take piano lessons. This was not what she had said to Qiu Zheng at the beginning, so where did she learn piano?

So when Cui Wanning learned some of her basic information, his mind was filled with doubts one after another.

"You are a habitual liar. I will expose your true face this time." Cui Wanning has already guessed Zhou Wanyi's true face. This time she will drive Zhou Wanyi out of the Cui family.

She had already found out the address of Zhou Wanyi's piano practice room, so Cui Wanning took a taxi to the piano room to wait. Cui Wanning chose a coffee shop across the street and sat down at a window seat.

Around noon, a black Maybach stopped opposite. Before Cui Wanning could go to inquire, the owner of the Maybach, Jiang Zhi, slowly got out of the car and leaned against the door, apparently waiting for someone.

Not long after, Zhou Wanyi came downstairs unexpectedly.

Cui Wanning put on his sunglasses, observed the couple opposite him, and sneered, "Not only is she a liar, but she's also an expert at seducing men."

Seeing that the two people were about to get in the car, Cui Wanning hurriedly paid the bill and ran to the side of the road to stop a car, "Follow the car in front!"

Jiang Zhi had an easier time at work today, and he happened to notice that a new restaurant had opened, so he brought Zhou Wanyi with him to check it out.

In fact, it was a good decision to bring her to this restaurant. Zhou Wanyi praised the food more than once, and even when the two of them got back to the car, Zhou Wanyi was still chattering.

"Especially the dessert at the end. The pudding is so delicious."

Seeing her greedy look, Jiang Zhi paused, then smiled. It seems that the desserts in this store can be written into the notebook, so that if she gets angry in the future, there will be something to comfort her.

"Do you have to go back to class this afternoon?" Jiang Zhi asked her before starting the car.

Zhou Wanyi has already greeted Teacher Qiu and will only have half a day of class today.

"I don't have classes anymore. I want to go to the old town."

"Old Town?" He was stunned for a moment, then realized, "You want to visit your adoptive parents, right?"

"Yes, I just happen to have something to ask them this time."

Jiang Zhi didn't ask any more questions. He nodded and started the car silently.

They arrived in less than half an hour. He parked the car at the intersection where they had met before and couldn't help asking, "Do you need me to go with you?"

Zhou Wan paused as he was unbuckling his seat belt, then said, "No need. I'm just going to ask you something. It will be quick." Then he waved to him and left.

Cui Wanning, who was hiding in the car behind, immediately paid and got out to follow Zhou Wanyi after seeing him get off the car. This was her first time to come to such a dilapidated old city except for the time she lived in an orphanage when she was a child. Looking at the falling wall and the uneven road surface, Cui Wanning's face was full of disgust.

She followed Zhou Wanyi and walked into an unfamiliar alley. Later, she saw Zhou Wanyi walk into a very inconspicuous store. So Cui Wanning tiptoed quietly at the door of the store, trying to eavesdrop on something.

"Mom and Dad, I'm here to see you." Zhou Wanyi pushed the door open and walked in.

"Yiyi! You're here to see us." Zhou's mother excitedly ran over from the kitchen and hugged her in her arms, "Have you been focusing on studying again? You look thinner."

"No, I eat well every day."

Zhou's father also came over from the side, "Yi Yi is here!"

At first, Cui Wanning was wondering why Zhou Wanyi came to such a shabby place, but when she heard Zhou Wanyi call "Mom and Dad", she understood everything.

It turned out that the people here were Zhou Wanyi's adoptive parents. She was worried that she had no way to find Zhou Wanyi's weakness, and now it was really God's help. Thinking that she could control Zhou Wanyi in the palm of her hand in the future, he was now extremely excited.

Zhou's mother poured her a glass of water and asked her gently, "Yi Yi, what are you doing here today?"

"It's like this, I have a friend who has an empty store, so I wanted to ask you if you want to move your store there?"

Mother Zhou looked at Father Zhou, and the two exchanged silent glances.

"Yi Yi, it's like this..." There was a hint of embarrassment in Zhou's father's eyes.

Zhou Wanyi had been their daughter for so many years, so she naturally understood the situation. She spoke at the right time, "Don't worry, I've roughly calculated it. The store is very large. Apart from the dining area and the kitchen, there is still a large space. You don't have to worry about accommodation."

"And my friends won't charge a particularly high price for the rent and renovation costs, so you can rest assured."
