Kicked Back to a Rich Family by the Real Eldest Daughter - Chapter 13
Chapter 13
After Tang Jinzhi confirmed that Xie Xiangyi had changed her username back to normal, she exited the private chat. She glanced at Zhang Yueqi, who was hiding like a quail in the group chat, and let out a scoff.
She was too embarrassed to actually add Zhang Yueqi’s mother’s contact information. She was just trying to scare her.
She really didn’t know what Zhang Yueqi was trying to accomplish by creating this three-person group chat.
Tang Jinzhi just assumed she was too bored.
Her takeout arrived.
After opening it, she took a picture and sent it to Xie Xiangyi.
Tang Jinzhi: image
Tang Jinzhi: “Are you hungry?”
Tang Jinzhi: “Can I use the computer in the study?”
Xie Xiangyi glanced at the picture and quickly replied, “Not hungry. Of course you can use the computer, just be careful not to delete any files.”
Tang Jinzhi: “OK”
Tang Jinzhi: “Bye-bye. I’m going to be busy after I eat. I’m on a night shift too.”
Xie Xiangyi: “Aren’t you going back to sleep?”
Tang Jinzhi: “I’m full of energy. No sleep. I’ll sleep when you get back.”
Xie Xiangyi rubbed her sore eyes. Some people wanted to sleep but couldn’t, while others could sleep but wouldn’t.
Xie Xiangyi sighed in her heart.
Tang Jinzhi’s schedule was indeed irregular. It was already a mess on the first day she was back.
But she wasn’t much better herself.
Tang Jinzhi didn’t know that Xie Xiangyi was feeling unbalanced. After eating, she cleaned up the trash, grabbed her flash drive, and walked to the study.
The master bedroom and the study were connected. The door from the master bedroom to the study was a hidden door. Tang Jinzhi pushed open Xie Xiangyi’s room and went in. She didn’t want to invade her privacy, but she couldn’t find the door for a while.
Xie Xiangyi had opened it for her today, but she had been so focused on leaving the master bedroom quickly that she hadn’t paid much attention to it.
After a few minutes of wandering around the room, Tang Jinzhi felt that her memory couldn’t be so bad that she couldn’t remember the general location of the door, but she just couldn’t open it.
Tang Jinzhi: “Where is the study door…”
Tang Jinzhi felt a little bit of self-doubt after asking.
She couldn’t even find a door.
Xie Xiangyi: “…The wall facing the door you entered the bedroom from. There’s a white button on the left bookshelf. Press it and it will open.”
Tang Jinzhi: “…”
Who designed this room? It was so high-tech. What if the button malfunctioned one day?
Tang Jinzhi: “Are you hiding some kind of state secret in there?”
Xie Xiangyi defended herself: “I moved in directly. I didn’t participate in the interior design.”
Tang Jinzhi: “Okay, okay, I found it.”
Xie Xiangyi looked at the paper she was revising, thinking that Tang Jinzhi probably wouldn’t have anything else to ask her, so she muted her phone directly.
Tang Jinzhi really had nothing else to ask Xie Xiangyi. She was now completely immersed in her own world.
Tang Jinzhi had put two of the novels she had written on the shelves, and they had been serialized for a week.
She had already chosen a suitable platform and successfully signed a contract while she was in the hospital.
For her, who had several novels in hand, updating was incredibly easy. She didn’t have to worry about missing an update at all.
She copied all the contents of her flash drive into the computer, set them as encrypted files, and then copied them all into the writing software she had registered. Only after everything was synchronized and she confirmed that she could view them on her phone as well did the worry in her heart completely disappear.
She wouldn’t be afraid even if she lost her flash drive again.
After confirming that everything was in order, Tang Jinzhi turned her attention to the documents she hadn’t opened for a long time.
They were the murder mystery scripts she had written when she was a part-time writer.
She was very green at the time. After writing them, she made a table and rated their difficulty herself.
Some were not very good and were rated one star.
Tang Jinzhi picked one out and began to review it. She planned to optimize every one of them, increase the difficulty, and for those that couldn’t be improved, she would just fix the bugs and treat them as simple entertainment scripts.
Once she started working, Tang Jinzhi no longer picked up her phone to chat with Xie Xiangyi.
Tang Jinzhi was engrossed in the study all night. Especially in the early morning when inspiration struck, she was even afraid that going out for a drink of water would interrupt her flow.
So when Xie Xiangyi didn’t get a reply from Tang Jinzhi, she assumed she had gone to sleep. She didn’t even know Tang Jinzhi was still in the study after she got home and took a bath.
Xie Xiangyi didn’t want to disturb Tang Jinzhi’s sleep. She was too tired. After changing into her pajamas, she went straight to bed to rest. She was very sleepy.
Not long after Xie Xiangyi lay down, Tang Jinzhi stopped her work. Her serious expression finally relaxed.
She had been sitting for too long, and her back was sore.
She had revised two scripts in one night.
One of them was the first one Tang Jinzhi had written when she decided to write a murder mystery script. There wasn’t much to change, she just made some of the plot more logical.
The other one needed a lot of revisions and took Tang Jinzhi several hours. While revising, Tang Jinzhi despised how careless she had been before, as there were so many ridiculous parts.
As expected, she was the most serious when she was a rookie.
Her back cracked as she stood up.
She glanced at the time and realized it was almost 9 a.m.
Tang Jinzhi’s stretching motion froze. She was dazed for a moment.
She knew it was morning, but she didn’t realize time had passed so quickly.
She had thought Xie Xiangyi would be off work around this time.
Had she already returned?
Tang Jinzhi quickly opened her phone. Sure enough, there were a few messages from Xie Xiangyi, at different times.
At 5 a.m., she asked if she was asleep.
She didn’t reply.
She asked if she wanted breakfast before she got off work.
She didn’t reply.
When she got off work, she told her she was home and that she didn’t buy breakfast because she thought she was asleep.
She hadn’t replied to a single one.
Tang Jinzhi rubbed her neck and sent a tired emoji in response.
She wondered why Xie Xiangyi didn’t come to the study to check on her after she came back.
She closed the computer and pushed open the study door. As she turned to close it, she found that the door closed automatically, but the sound of it closing was a little too loud in the completely silent environment.
Tang Jinzhi turned to look at the bedroom and met Xie Xiangyi’s gaze.
Xie Xiangyi, who had woken up from the noise, had a dazed look in her eyes. It seemed like she had just lain down? Why was Tang Jinzhi here?
Tang Jinzhi was a little awkward. She gave a dry laugh. “You go back to sleep. I’m going out to get a glass of water.”
Xie Xiangyi propped herself up. Her head was foggy. She pointed to the water glass on the bedside table, her voice weak: “Haven’t drunk it.”
She usually was a light sleeper, but after being up all night, she should have been in a deep sleep. The only reason she was woken up was that she had just lain down not long ago.
Xie Xiangyi half-closed her eyes. She waited for Tang Jinzhi to walk over and pick up the water glass before lying down again, her head resting on the pillow.
Tang Jinzhi drank the water, her gaze secretly on the somewhat sluggish Xie Xiangyi. She felt a little sorry for her. She was so tired that she was a little out of it.
She put down the water glass, her voice involuntarily softening. “If you’re tired, hurry up and sleep. I’m going to sleep too.”
Xie Xiangyi was stunned for a moment. She looked up at Tang Jinzhi again, then glanced at the other pillow on the bed.
She pointed with her finger. “Go to sleep.”
After saying that, she turned over and lay down, clearly making room for Tang Jinzhi.
Tang Jinzhi: “…”
She suspected Xie Xiangyi was too sleepy to think straight.
