After Mrs. Lu received a call from the housekeeper in the main house, her eyes
turned red from anger.
She immediately called Lu Jingye.
“They’re too much! Jingye, what do we do about this now? If Yiyi and the Dou
Family were to know what your Grandfather did, what would they think of us?”
She was only worried that Zi Yi and the Dou Family would have other thoughts.
She clearly knew who was the one who wagged their tongue next to Patriarch
Lu.
“Your Eldest Aunt is pushing all the trouble Lu Zhiheng had caused in the
company during this period of time to you. I think that your Grandfather is
also playing dumb. With how he’s acting, he’s clearly trying to stop you from
getting married and force you to returm and apologize to him.”
If not for the fact that Patriarch Lu was her father-in-law, Mrs.Lu genuinely
had the urge to go over and give him a good scolding
“People say that it’s better to tear down ten temples than to break a marriage.
Yet, your Grandfather doesn’t even understand that. He even brought home his
feudal mindset to the family. I think hell only be satisfied after everyone
becomes enemies with each other!
Hearing his mother’s aggrieved and angry voice over the phone, Lu Jingye
gently soothed and calmed her down. “Mother, don’t worry.”
Mrs. Lu said to him, “He had even told the housekeeper to tell us not to hold
the banquet at home. How can I not worry?
“Since Grandfather is not letting us hold the wedding reception at home, we
can hold it elsewhere.” Lu Jingye said, The villas I have in the capital have
been transferred to Yiyi’s name and we can hold it in one of them when the
time comes.”
“But” Mrs. Lu still felt uncomfortable deep down.
Lu Jingye continued to say, “We won’t spend a single cent from the Lu Family
and instead, we’ll use Yiyï’s money. If you are still angry, we can spread this
information out.”
It took Mrs. Lu two seconds before she finally understood Lu Jingye’s meaning.
Based on Patriarch Lu’s personality, he was the type that cared a lot about his
pride. If everyone were to discuss that during his grandson’s marriage, they did
not use a single cent of the Lu Family, and instead, the female side forked out
all the expenses, he would definitely feel humiliated.
When Patriarch Lu gets angry then, Mrs. Lu would have something to rebut
Thinking of this, Mrs. Lu’s mood finally turned for the better. However, she did
not forget to remind him. Even though it is said that we are using Yiyi’s
money, you cannot really let her fork out for the expenses. This concerns
whether our family cares about her and you have to do the right thing by
showing the correct attitude.”
The corner of Lu Jingye’s lips curled up as he said, “Mother, I understand.
Mrs. Lu continued to say, Tll gift my jewelry shop to Yiyi’s as the bride price
when the time comes. T’d like to say who can say anything then.”
Lu Jingye replied, “Okay.”
After he finally appeased Mrs. Lu, Lu Jingye hung up his phone and pursed his
lips. He then dialed another number on his phone.
After the other party answered the call, he said, “You can start taking action on
the Lu Group’s oil mining on the Pacific’s X Island.”
The other party responded in surprise, “You are willing to give that up?
Lu Jingye walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window and as he looked at the
courtyard, Ihe said with some slight indifference on his face, “I can earn these
things back in the future. There’s nothing that I can’t give up.”
The other party’s voice contained traces of teasing. “Lu, many people say that
you’re gentle and humble. Could it be that I’m the only one who thinks that
you’re the most ruthless person ever?
Lu Jingye slightly clenched his jaw. “If no one makes my wife unhappy, I will
always be gentle and humble.”
It has been quite some time since Zi Yi went to M.Uni. As soon as her car drove
to the gate of the campus, those who saw her got excited.
“The Goddess has finally come back to school. It’s been a long time since I’ve
seen her. Why do I feel that she has become slightly more beautiful?”
“She isn’t just slightly more beautiful. I feel that she’s practically glowing”
“Looking at the Goddess, even I have the impulse to fall in love with her.
Unfortunately, no one in our M.Uni dares to provoke her.”
That’s right. The Goddess is indeed the Goddess. She had merely sent out two
medical and chemistry papers and won the International X Prize. She’s too
awesome. I don’t even know who is worthy of her.”
“Doesn’t she have a boyfriend? I bet her boyfriend is worthy.”
In fact, not many people in M.Uni knew of Lu Jingye’s identity. Those who
knew did not deliberately say it aloud either. Therefore, even until now,
everyone only knew that Zi Yï’s boyfriend was very capable and his identity was
not so simple.
Of course, there were also male students who did not give up and felt that they
still had a chance if they worked harder.
When Zi Yi drove into the campus, she received a phone call from the Dean of
the School of Science and Technology.
The Dean was calling her over to collect her certificate.
zi Yi turned the steering wheel and directly headed to the School of Science and
Technology
Knock knock!
Dean Zhou, who was seated in his office, looked up and saw Zi Yi who was
standing outside the door. He smiled and waved at her. “Student Zi, you’re here.
Come in.
Zi Yi walked into Dean Zhou’s office.
“Have a seat.”
Dean Zhou stood up and took out two certificates from his large bookshelf
behind him and passed them to her.
“This is the patient application certificate and the other one is the certificate
that shows your paper has won the X medical research breakthrough award.
There’s also a bonus. Give me your bank account number and I’l help you pass
it on to the relevant departments. You should be receiving the prize money
within three working days.”
Zi Yi took out her pen and wrote down a bank account number on a piece of
paper and passed it to Dean Zhou.
He took the slip of paper and all ofa sudden, his expression turned serious as
he said, “Student Zi, in view of your abilities in the medical field, our school
suggests that you can take part in the Ph.D. examination this semester. Of
course, you can also choose to take the examination when you’re in your
sophomore year.”
The Dean did not forget what Dou Xiaoyong had said before.. Even though he
had personally hoped for Zi Yi to skip grades this semester.
It was a waste for such a talent to continue studying in her undergraduate
studies.
“Also, our university has several major research projects ongoing right now. If
you’re interested, you can also choose one or two projects to join in on.”
Having said that, he handed her a file.
Zi Yi opened the file and inside it was a catalog of the medical research projects
that were currently ongoing
“There’s no need for you to reply immediately, you can take your time to think
about it. The postgraduate examinations will be from December 22nd to the
24th. The retest will be around March to April of the following year”
As soon as Zi Yi heard the dates, she simply closed the file and said, “I won’t be
able to take the exam this year.”
“Why? Even though Dean Zhou had expected Zi Vi to reject him, he was still a
little disappointed.
Zi Yi pursed her lips and said, “Tm getting married on December 24th.”
”
After a moment of shock, Dean Zhou nodded his head. “This is a happy and
major event in your life and it does indeed require you to treat it seriously.”
Having said that, he asked with a smile, “Student Zi, I wonder if I have the
honor of being invited to your wedding banquet?”
Since Dean Zhou had taken the initiative to ask, Zi Yi naturally would not reject
him. “Sure.”
Dean Zhou revealed an even brighter smile. “That’s good, that’s good. During
this period of time, you can focus on being a bride that is getting ready to
marry. It’s okay to take your time on your studies.”
Zi Yi also smiled in response. “Okay.”
As soon as Zi Yi left Dean Zhou’s office, he typed a few lines in the higher
management group chat, and it was as if he was trying to show off. “Student Zi
is getting married on December 24th. Everyone, she has invited me to her
wedding banquet. I wonder if you have been invited?
