Chapter 502: Since You’re so Worried That I Can’t Do it, You Better Not Regret it When it Happens
Lu Jingye’s heart trembled from the young lady’s teasing.
He hugged her tightly once again and allowed her to feel his urges directed towards her. While whispering in her ears with a hot breath, he said, “Naughty girl. Since you’re so worried that I can’t do it, you better not regret it when it happens.”
Lu Jingye radiated a strong and dangerous aura as he said those words. Zi Yi blushed in response and her heart sped up for no reason.
She put her arm around his waist and buried her head into his embrace while imagining such a scene and the corner of her lips unconsciously curved up.
Lu Jingye finally had the chance to see a ‘slightly’ embarrassed young lady and he felt a little comforted.
The both of them continued hugging for a while, before they respectively went to take a shower.
In the following days, Zi Yi and Elder Hu were cooped up in the laboratory, while Lu Jingye controlled the development in the outside world from a distance.
The robots disguised as Zi Yi and Lu Jingye had arrived in S City and those people from the capital had secretly sent groups of men to deal with him.
All of them were taken care of one by one.
As for Zi Yi’s side.
Ever since Zi Xu learned of the news that his favorite daughter had been pushed off of a building by Li Peirong, he had been heartbroken. But he had also managed to think things through very quickly and started to shift his attention to Zi Yi.
Sure enough, like what the Dou Family had imagined, he started to play the family card with Zi Yi.
However, as soon as he had that thought in mind, it was crushed into ashes by Dou Jingning.
Dou Jingning had directly stayed in their house, so that he could keep an eye on his every move.
Zi Xu was angry, but he had no means to deal with that brother-in-law of his. Right now, even at the sight of him, he would get irritated.
At this moment, the people sent from the various large families in the capital had secretly gotten into contact with him.
They had booked a room and met with him in a private restaurant. Zi Xu was no fool but he pretended to be a fool when he arrived there.
The people who invited him to the meeting were also smart people. From the very beginning of the meeting they talked about his recent troubles.
“We are deeply saddened by the fact that such an incident happened in Mr. Zi’s family. However, the dead are gone but the living still have to look ahead.”
“That’s right. We have also understood about Mr. Zi and your eldest daughter’s situation. From how the Dou Family is keeping a close eye on Miss Zi and preventing her from approaching you, coupled with the fact that you had previously notarized a will to transfer all your assets to your younger daughter, which had resulted in a rift between you and your eldest daughter… Mr. Zi, have you ever thought that it would not be so easy to amend the relationship between you and your eldest daughter?”
“Your eldest daughter is currently in a relationship with the Second Young Master Lu. Mr. Zi, I’m not trying to gossip here, but the Second Young Master Lu has been chased out of the Lu Family by Patriarch Lu and he also left the family without a single penny. He is without authority and wealth right now. If your eldest daughter were to follow him, she would only suffer in the future. Perhaps instead of helping you, it might even cause you tons of trouble in the future.”
“Second Young Master Lu has offended plenty of people in the business industry and there are many people keeping an eye on him right now. They would never give him the chance to make a comeback. If your daughter were to marry him, your company would be his in the future. At that time, wouldn’t everyone unite to deal with your company?”
The more Zi Xu listened, the colder he felt and his expression looked heavy.
If Li Peirong had not pushed his youngest daughter off of the building, he would not have had to worry over such problems right now.
At the thought of this, he really hated Li Peirong who was recently admitted into Qian Shan Mental Hospital.
He must have been blind to have fallen for a woman like her in the past.
To think that she was so vicious!
Zi Xu became increasingly irritable. In addition, they kept talking about how his company would be ruined by Lu Jingye in the future.
Zi Xu started to drown himself in alcohol.
When the rest saw his reaction, they made eye contact and started to bring up suggestions for him.
“Mr. Zi, I feel that in this type of situation, you should eradicate the problem from its root.”
“How so?” Zi Xu’s expression was heavy and he drank another sip of alcohol.
“Mr. Zi, why don’t you find someone in private and marry off your eldest daughter, since she has yet to officially get married to Second Young Master Lu?”
Zi Xu’s expression stiffened. Ever since he returned from abroad and saw his eldest daughter’s current appearance and mannerisms, he felt that she should get married into a rich family.
“To tell you the truth, I am from the Qin Family. Our Family’s Eldest Young Master has taken a fancy to Zi Yi. If you agree to it, you can marry your daughter to my Eldest Young Master.”
“Mr. Zi, my family’s Fourth Young Master has been pining over Miss Zi and you can also take him into consideration.” This was said by someone from the He Family.
Zi Xu did not expect that two young masters from two major families would vie for his daughter. His agitated emotions disappeared without a trace and instead, his heartbeat sped up out of excitement.
However, he tried his best to suppress the excitement, clenched his wine glass, and pretended to be aloof as he asked, “Do you mean what you’ve just said?”
“How could we possibly joke on this matter. Mr. Zi, if you are unable to trust us, we can call our family members and you can speak to them personally.”
While they said that, they had unexpectedly made a call. When the other party answered the phone, they started chatting with Zi Xu.
The more he conversed with the other party, the more excited he became. In particular, at the thought that two young masters from these major families wanted to marry his daughter, he felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment.
However, he did not respond out of impulse. Instead, he told them that he would go back and think about their offer.
He planned to get someone to investigate the Qin and He Family to see which had more power. At that time, he would marry Zi Yi to the more powerful side.
Inside the secret base.
The five managers felt a chill down their backs and they carefully sat there as they looked at the Second Young Master who clearly showed no change in expression, but the aura he radiated was exceedingly cold. They were thinking to themselves, “What could possibly cause him to get so angry?”
Lu Jingye made eye contact with them and said, “Zhang Hongliang, Tian Dongquan, and Lu Yi shall immediately head out to purchase these medicinal ingredients. I hope that you can gather everything listed within a week’s time.”
The three of them immediately stood up and answered in unison, “Yes, Second Young Master.”
Following that, they left the conference room and went to prepare the medicinal ingredients.
Wang Biao and Ji Dekun were still inside the room.
Wang Biao sat there with a straight posture as he waited for Lu Jingye’s commands.
However, Ji Dekun could not sit still and tried to ask, “Second Young Master, do you have any work where you need to beat someone up? Why don’t you send me out to assist you on that?”
Wang Biao glanced at him from the corner of his eyes. You’re just a technician in charge of managing other technicians… How powerful can your fists possibly be?
If there was a job that required them to beat someone up, it would be better to send him instead.
Lu Jingye glanced at the both of them and said, “Your task is to ensure the safety and security of the base. You can leave.”
Ji Dekun wanted to say something else, but he was pulled out of the conference room by Wang Biao.
When they were dozens of meters away from the conference room, Ji Dekun looked at Wang Biao in discontentment. “Old Wang, why did you pull me away? Didn’t you see that Second Young Master was obviously angry and wanted to kill someone?”
Wang Biao rolled his eyes and said, “Second Young Master must be angry about something in the outside world and what could you possibly do about it?”
He left after he said that, leaving behind Ji Dekun who was scratching his head.
“So what is the problem of having me head outside to do things? I’ve never lost to anyone in terms of beating someone up.”
Inside the conference room.
After everyone left, Lu Jingye took out the phone which Zi Yi had helped him modify, and gave Mrs. Lu a call.
As soon as Mrs. Lu answered the call, Lu Jingye said, “Mother, the Qin Family, and He Family have designs on Yiyi. They are trying to persuade Zi Xu to marry Yiyi into either of their families..”
