Lu Jingye laughed after hearing what Second Master He said. His smile resembled someone who was wise and farsighted, and it gave people the feeling that everything was under his control.

The He Family and the Lu Family had cooperated before in the past and Second Master He had interacted often with Lu Jingye. In the past, whenever he saw that smile of his, he would always feel reassured to cooperate with this young man.

Yet, at this moment, he hated that smile of his very much.

He vexedly lifted the teacup and took a sip before putting the cup on the table and saying in a loud voice, “I’m very busy, say what you have to say. I don’t have that much time to play mind games with you.”

“Does Second Master He think that I asked you out for tea to play mind games?”

“Isn’t that the case?” Second Master He sneered. “I believe there’s no need for me to say what you had done a while back and also what you caused yesterday? Do you think that after these incidents, we can still sit here calmly and greet each other?”

“Second Master Lu, there’s no need to be so grumpy.”

Lu Jingye always had that calm look on his face and Second Master He felt even more stifled deep down.

As he wanted to retaliate with a few words, Lu Jingye suddenly put his hand on the table. His index finger and middle finger tapped on the table twice and the smile on his face disappeared in an instant. Soon, he radiated a sharp aura.

“Since Second Master He does not wish to exchange pleasantries with me, then let me settle the accounts with what you and your family have done to my wife during this period of time.”

He then started listing out everything the He Family had done to Zi Yi.

Second Master He did not expect Lu Jingye to change face just like that and he felt a little shocked deep down.

After Lu Jingye finished listing out everything, he stared at him with a pair of cold eyes and asked, “Does the He Family think that since you can’t handle me, then you might as well start with my wife?”

Second Master He opened his mouth. The He Family had indeed done a lot of things but how could he possibly admit to them at this time?”

He decided to change the subject instead. “What we are talking about right now is the incident with my eldest nephew!”

Lu Jingye stared at him with those indifferent eyes of his that seemed as if they could see through people’s hearts. “Isn’t it because He Chao deserved it?”

“You-!” Second Master He was furious.

Lu Jingye reminded him. “He ran to the female washroom to corner my wife. If I was present at that time, I would not have given him such an easy death.”

“You-”

“Everyone is clearly aware of what your He Family is planning to do. Do you really think that I can’t deal with the He Family without the status as the President of the Lu Group?”

“You-”

“If I, Lu Jingye, really wanted to kill someone, I would never leave any evidence behind, let alone at some place where my wife was at. Yiyi is timid and so how could I possibly let her see a corpse?”

Second Master He looked at Lu Jingye who maintained a calm expression when he said these words. He inexplicably felt that this young man was very terrifying.

However, he already knew in the past that this young man was really cruel. However, he had previously thought that his cruelty only manifested in the business world.

Lu Jingye added on. “I’m looking for you today only to remind you that Eldest Master He is being controlled.”

Second Master He did not believe him at all. “How could my eldest brother be under someone else’s control?!”

Even though he said that on the surface, he wavered in his belief deep down inside.

From Lu Jingye’s attitude, it did not seem that he needed him to believe it. After ​​saying his piece, he shifted his attention to the stage outside the private room. He looked so leisurely and comfortable as if he had come here to drink tea and watch the opera.

On the other hand, the frown on Second Master He’s face had tightened.

After a while, he could not bear it anymore and he suddenly stood up. “I still have something on, I’ll take my leave first.”

He left immediately afterwards.

Lu Jingye turned around to look at the door of the private room before looking away. He lifted his teacup and after taking a sip, he also stood up and headed outside.

…

M.Uni.

As Zi Yi wanted to finish the exams planned for tomorrow morning, she started her exams at 1 p.m. in the afternoon and continued until 7:30 p.m. at night.

By the time she came out of the examination venue, she touched her flat stomach and thought of how she had to bring more food with her tomorrow. When she looked up, she saw a tall man standing up straight and giving off an elegant aura outside the teaching building. He was just like a luminous light that naturally attracted the attention of many people like moths to a flame.

He wore a suit today and he was also wearing a long coat on top.

Zi Yi’s gaze landed on the cake shop’s bag in his hands.

Her lips rose unconsciously and her footsteps had also quickened.

“Ah Jing, when did you arrive?”

Zi Yi stood in front of him and smiled.

Lu Jingye had also raised his lips into a smile. He took out a cup of milk tea from the cake shop’s bag first and passed it to her.

Zi Yi inserted the straw before she took a small piece of cake.

She took a sip of the milk tea and then had a bite of the cake.

How satisfying!

Only then did Lu Jingye answer her and say, “I arrived not too long ago.”

He had come after estimating the time her exams would end.

They walked to the car side by side. While Zi Yi was drinking milk tea and enjoying her cake, she said to him, “Taking exams is hard on my stomach.”

Lu Jingye touched her head out of concern. “I’ll get the chef to prepare more snacks for you to bring along with you tomorrow.”

“Okay!”

Looking at the two of them walking to the car, getting into the car and finally, the car driving away… the group of students who were sneaking peeks at them felt that they had been fed with a mouthful of dog food¹.

“I can’t take it anymore. I feel like screaming. Ahhhhh~”

“Aren’t they too sweet?!”

“The overbearing president and his little wife are so loving~”

“A super handsome guy and a stunning woman. They’re so eye-catching.”

“I suddenly look forward to seeing their baby. He or she will be the most beautiful and lovely baby in the whole of heaven and earth!”

…

After Lu Jingye fetched Zi Yi back home, Zi Yi suddenly thought of something. “Did Eldest Master He send people to deal with our businesses? Has the He Family taken action?”

She had been spending the whole day doing her exams and she had no time to pay attention to this.

“Nope.”

“Hmm?”

Zi Yi was a little disappointed. “I was still waiting for them to see the prowess of my racing club and bars…”

Lu Jingye’s lips curved up and said, “The He Family won’t have time to pay attention to us during this period of time.”

Zi Yi looked at him suspiciously. “What did you do to them?”

Lu Jingye did not reveal what he did and instead, he said, “You can just focus on your exams. I will tell you about this in the future.”

To be honest, Zi Yi was not particularly curious and so, she nodded her head.

She took out her phone and saw the must-knows for the chemistry competitions and the contents of the previous year’s chemistry competition.

Lu Jingye called for the housekeeper and ordered him to prepare supper.

Zi Yi had eaten an early dinner at around 5 p.m. and she had not eaten anything else after coming home.

After she finished checking out the contents of the competition, she sent Nangong Yu an ‘ok’ sign.

Subsequently, she received an invitation to a group.

Nangong Yu sent her a message at the same time.

[Junior Zi, there will be three people from M.Uni taking part in the competition tomorrow. Have you seen the group invitation? The group was created by the two other participants, do join it.]

Zi Yi clicked on the add button.

Subsequently, the messages from two other students were sent over.

[Hi Junior Zi, I am Zhang Zhuang, a Year 4 student of the Chemistry Department. Welcome to our competition group.]

[Hi Junior Zi, I am Zhou Xiao, a Year 3 student of the Chemistry Department. Welcome to our competition group.]

Zi Yi could discern their excitement through the messages they had sent.

Zi Yi also typed a line of message and sent it to them.

[Hello Senior Brother and Senior Sister!]
