Chapter 451: Crazy Lu Jingye

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Patriarch Lu along with a few elders made their way over.

Everyone was startled and hastily made way for him.

He had a grim expression on his face and the aura he radiated was imposing and overbearing.

Patriarch Lu walked over to Lu Jingye and asked sternly, "Is this how you treat our guests?"

"Grandfather, I just don't want to give hope to people I don't like."

"Like? What's that?" Patriarch Lu disagreed with him. "Liking means two individuals who have the same background and are capable of supporting each other, and treating each other with respect. You and Aisha are suitable."

His words caused the expressions of the Dou Family members to turn ugly.

Mrs. Lu's expression was also distorted.

The crowd was silent.

So in actual fact, Patriarch Lu had already chosen a wife for the Second Young Master and he had called the Dou Family and Zi Yi over, just so that he could give them a warning?

"Since Patriarch Lu does not welcome the Dou Family, then why did you invite us over?" Dou Xiaoyong was the first to speak up and he had a furious expression on his face.

Dou Jingning said afterwards, "Since that's the case, let's leave."

Patriarch Lu did not expect the Dou Family members to protect Zi Yi. Displeasure flashed past his eyes and just as he was about to speak, the phones of many people present suddenly rang.

After they picked up their phones, the other party seemed to have said something and their expressions changed drastically. All of them said in unison, "What? Alright, I'll be there right away."

Everyone had the same reaction and before long, they walked up to Patriarch Lu. With anxious and worried expressions, they said, "Patriarch Lu, something happened in our company and I'm sorry but I'll have to leave early."

They did not bother to wait for Patriarch Lu to respond and left the living room together with their family members.

The Lu Family members were still a little confused. At that time, Rick had also received a phone call. The moment he heard what the other party said, his expression turned livid, "What? Someone caused a worldwide economic war?"

His words caused everyone's hearts to clench tightly.

All of them subconsciously looked towards Lu Jingye, only to realize that he had left.

Rick hung up the phone angrily and said, "Aisha, leave with me."

Aisha's stubborn temper flared up. "I don't want to."

Rick was anxious and angry at the same time as he pulled her away.

Mrs. Lu was the first to react. She hastily whispered to the madams of the Dou Family, "I'm really sorry for tonight. What my father said does not represent Jingye's or our opinion. We should meet up and talk about the affairs between these two youngsters when there is a chance in the future."

The Dou Family thought of what Lu Jingye had told them last night and left without asking anything.

When they left the living room, Dou Jingning asked, "Where's Yiyi?"

Dou Xiangling hastily said, "She said she was going to the restroom, but she has yet to return."

The Dou Family members were worried.

"What should we do? Should we split up and look around?"

Just as they were planning to look for her, Dou Jingning's phone rang. He took it out and glanced at the screen before he said to the rest, "Let's go out and wait for her first. Yiyi will be coming out shortly."

The Lu Family's main residence occupied a large area and not all places were open to the public. Since Zi Yi sent Dou Jingning a message, she must have known of the situation here. As a result, they headed outside to wait.

When everyone took their leave, the Lu Family members gathered together.

Lu Zhiheng took out his mobile phone and did a quick check, only for him to reveal a shocked expression. "Grandfather, someone caused a worldwide economic war. Our company has also been affected."

The eldest son of Patriarch Lu furrowed his brow. "An average person can't start this kind of economic war that would affect the whole world. The country will not idly sit by without interfering. Unless the person has heaven-defying skills that can suddenly take everyone by surprise."

Speaking of this, his expression changed, and he asked Lu Jianlin along with his wife, "Second Brother, sister-in-law, where is Jingye?"

Lu Jianlin said with a stern expression, "I don't know."

Patriarch Lu seemed to have guessed something and he said, "Call him back."

Lu Jianlin took out his phone and just when he was about to make a call, the eldest son's phone rang.

His expression changed upon answering the phone, "I understand."

He then told Patriarch Lu. "Father, it's Jingye."

His words caused everyone's expression to change.

Patriarch Lu's sharp gaze turned to Lu Jianlin and he ordered him. "Go and find Jingye!"

Before Lu Jianlin took a single step, Rick strode in from outside and asked furiously, "Grandfather Lu, what does the Lu Family mean by this? How dare you cause such a huge incident?!"

When has Patriarch Lu been questioned by someone from a younger generation like that? His expression changed as he said, "How do you know that it was caused by the Lu Family?!"

Rick's eyes turned red from anxiousness and he passed the laptop in his hand to Patriarch Lu. On the screen were lines and data that an outsider would never understand. Rick then pointed to one area. "No one other than Lu Jingye is capable of launching such a crazy attack!"

Having said that, he closed the laptop and gnashed his teeth in anger.

"Grandfather Lu, do you know the consequences this economic war will bring? Many companies will go bankrupt and the entire economy will undergo a major reshuffle.

Do you think the Lu Family can keep such a big thing under wraps? Now that I've already found out that Lu Jingye is the culprit, do you think the other major organizations have yet to discover who it was?

1

If all the companies were to unite, the Lu Family will be swallowed up to the extent that not even your bones will be left. Lu Jingye is simply seeking death!"

Having said that, he carried his laptop and left the living room.

The expressions of the Lu Family members became extremely ugly.

The Third Madam shivered as she said, "What is Jingye trying to do? If he doesn't want to marry Aisha, he can just tell us. Why did he cause such a huge incident?"

1

Patriarch Lu spoke up. "Son, lead some people and capture Jingye to bring him over."

"Father, I understand."

Mrs. Lu looked at his departing back and clutched the handbag in her hand out of worry.

On the other side.

As soon as Zi Yi left the living room, she got Shadow to distract those who were tailing behind her, while she found an obscure sundry room. She sat down and pressed her wristwatch and a virtual screen surfaced before her.

She originally planned to connect to all the surveillance in the Lu Family, but unexpectedly, a worldwide economic war had started.

Zi Yi's virus soon played a huge role and she found out that Lu Jingye was the main culprit.

"Ah Jing? You're playing such a huge game at this juncture?" Zi Yi seemed to have thought of something and the corner of her lips unconsciously curled up.

Her ten fingers quickly typed on the virtual keyboard. "Since that's the case, I'll play with you."

No one imagined that the sudden economic war had soon spread worldwide.

This type of economic war that happened without any warning left those large conglomerates totally unprepared.

There were many companies that fell into chaos.

"Not good, many higher-ups from various countries have gotten involved.. If Second Brother is really the culprit, the Lu Family will become the target of public criticism."

Chapter 452: You Really Intend to Protect Her?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lu Zhiheng grabbed a laptop and quickly checked out the current situation. However, his body was covered in cold sweat soon after.

Patriarch Lu's expression was extremely solemn as if he was about to pick up his gun the very next second and shoot someone to death.

At that moment, his eldest son's phone rang once again.

After answering the call, he looked at Patriarch Lu with a livid depression. "It is definitely Jingye who did it. Those in Country M just gave me a call."

Patriarch Lu was originally holding onto a string of prayer beads in his hand. Hearing what his eldest son said, he failed to control his temper and the beads were crushed into powder.

Mrs. Lu looked at Patriarch Lu's current appearance and her heart could not help but tightly clench in worry.

She never imagined that her son would dare to cause such a huge incident.

If he were to be found, wouldn't he be beaten to death by his grandfather?!

All of a sudden, Lu Zhiheng loudly said in a strange tone, "It stopped."

Everyone subconsciously looked towards the laptop in his hands.

The economic war had stopped abruptly and everyone stared at the computer screen while tensed up. They did not know whether they could relax.

Patriarch Lu's third son said after he had observed for some time, "Why do I feel that other than Jingye, another powerful force is involved and moreover..."

His voice ended abruptly.

"Moreover?" Patriarch Lu eagerly asked.

His son glanced at the grim-faced Patriarch Lu and said, "This should have only disrupted the national market, but the force that suddenly got involved seems to be fishing in troubled waters! However, there's no way to track where the force came from and the Lu Family can only bear the blame."

A strong hostile aura quickly radiated out from Patriarch Lu.

As soon as his son finished speaking, they saw the housekeeper rushing in from outside with Patriarch Lu's phone in his hand. "Sir, General Hank has personally called."

Everyone's expressions stiffened.

Patriarch Lu took the phone and answered the call.

The other party seemed to have said something and Patriarch Lu replied with a grim expression, "Old friend, don't you worry. I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."

Having said that, his sharp gaze looked towards the door and he asked in a deep voice, "Have you found Jingye yet?"

(If you have problems with this website, please continue reading your novel on our new website myboxnovel.com THANKS!)

...

Within the sundry room.

After Zi Yi intervened in the economic war, she discovered that Lu Jingye had actually used it as a cover. What he was really dealing with were Rick's companies along with those companies which had spoken ill of her in the past.

The corner of her lips could not help but curl up unconsciously and she fished in the troubled waters without feeling any burdens.

Zi Yi only stopped after Lu Jingye stopped.

At the same time, she received a message on her phone.

Lu Jingye: Yiyi, come to the living room. I will use my identity to let you meet with my Grandfather.

Zi Yi replied with an 'ok'.

After she put away her phone, she quickly left the sundry room.

When she arrived at the door which leads to the living room, where the dinner banquet was previously held, she just so happened to hear Patriarch Lu's angry roar. "You did something like that, just because of a woman?! Do you know what the consequences are?"

"Grandfather, don't be angry," Lu Jingye replied with his usual gentle voice, but the words he said were firm. "I've said this before. I won't marry anyone other than Yiyi. I don't wish to make things difficult for you, but neither do I want Yiyi to suffer any grievances. Therefore, I can only do this."

"Good... very good! You think that the woman you like is interested in you as a person right? I'd like to see, without your identity as the Young Master of the Lu Family, how you are going to protect her when you have nothing?!"

Zi Yi's lips curled up upon hearing that. She raised her feet and walked in. "What Patriarch Lu means is that he intends to chase Ah Jing out of the Lu Family?"

As soon as Zi Yi's voice sounded, all the Lu Family members looked towards her.

The moment Patriarch Lu saw her, it was as if he had seen his enemy. He immediately ordered the guards. "Capture her!"

"Who dares to do so?"

Lu Jingye loudly shouted and walked towards Zi Yi in large strides. He then grabbed her wrist and protected her by standing in front of her.

Patriarch Lu flew into a rage. His grandson actually dared to challenge his authority!

"You really intend to protect her?"

Lu Jingye met straight on with Patriarch Lu's sharp gaze. "Yes."

The two of them maintained eye contact. One gave off a sharp gaze while the other remained firm. The air in the room seemed to be frozen and no one dared to speak.

The First Madam and Lu Zhiheng looked at each other and there were the same emotions of wanting to scheme in their eyes.

Just then, Aisha's voice sounded from outside the door. "Brother, I don't want to go."

As soon as Aisha's voice was heard, they saw Rick pulling her inside.

After Aisha entered the living room, she saw that there were only the Lu Family and Zi Yi inside and she tightly pursed her lips.

Rick questioned Lu Jingye, "You are the main perpetrator?"

Lu Jingye had no intentions to hide anything. "Yes."

Rick looked at him with a fierce expression. "Good. Lu Jingye, do you know how many losses the UP Group has suffered from the economic war you initiated?"

Speaking of this, he directly raised his voice and shouted, "You caused our UP Group to suffer a loss of 50 billion dollars in just half an hour!"

Patriarch Lu's third son quickly clarified. "It was another force which took the 50 billion the UP Group has lost."

At the same time, Lu Jingye said, "Isn't it because your skills are inferior to others that you lost so much?"

"You-" Rick wished that he could pounce over and bite Lu Jingye to death.

However, Aisha kept looking at Zi Yi and she asked, "Brother Lu, do you really insist on marrying her and no one else?"

"That's right."

Lu Jingye held Zi Yi's hand as he said that.

Zi Yi tilted her head in his direction and Lu Jingye gave her a reassuring look.

Zi Yi swallowed the words she originally wanted to say.

Patriarch Lu flew into a rage at the sight of them.

He threatened Lu Jingye. "I'll give you two choices today. Marry Aisha right away or you shall leave the family without any of your possessions. You will not be a Lu Family member in the future."

His words caused everyone to be shocked.

"Father."

"Shut up."

Patriarch Lu looked at Lu Jianlin who wanted to speak and he scolded him. "This is the good son you have taught!"

Lu Jianlin looked at Lu Jingye with a solemn expression and he sternly said, "Jingye, apologize to your grandfather right away."

"Why does my son have to apologize? He has done nothing wrong!"

Mrs. Lu could not endure anymore and she spoke with reddened eyes. "The Lu Family merely treats him as a money-earning tool and now that he finally has someone he fancies, you're still standing in the way. Lu Jianlin, let me tell you, if you fail to distinguish right from wrong, things won't be resolved so easily between us."

"Sigh... sister-in-law, you're so insensible. Now's not the time to mention who earns the money... What's more, even without Jingye, there are others in the family capable of earning money too. He's pitting himself against the elders right now and this is considered insensible."

Mrs. Lu looked at the First Madam who was motivated to see the situation dissolve into even more chaos. She snorted deep down and when she wanted to speak again, Lu Jingye called out to her. "Mother."

Mrs. Lu looked towards Lu Jingye and felt her heart tremble. She felt that right now he was not a robot, but her real son.

Lu Jingye motioned for her not to speak with his eyes.

He then looked towards Patriarch Lu and said, "Grandfather, I've said this before. I don't like Aisha and I can only apologize to her. I was too impulsive and rash tonight, but I do not regret my actions"

Patriarch Lu breathed laboriously in anger. Lu Zhiheng hastily walked over to pat his back. "Grandfather, don't get angry.. In the event that anger causes your health to deteriorate, we are the ones that will be worried."

Chapter 453: Twenty Whips

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Patriarch Lu looked at the grandson he was the proudest of, and who was arguing back. The flame of fire deep within him could not be suppressed at all and he asked him one last time, "Are you really refusing to listen to my words for this woman?"

Lu Jingye replied, "I can heed anything you say, except for this."

"Good! Very good!" Patriarch Lu shouted towards the housekeeper, "Go get me my whip."

The moment Zi Yi heard that he wanted to fetch his whip, she furrowed her brows. "You're going to hit Ah Jing?"

Lu Zhiheng immediately shouted at her in a loud voice, "This is the Lu Family affairs and it's not an outsider's turn to question."

Zi Yi tilted her head and shot him a chilly look.

A sneer curled up on the corner of Lu Zhiheng's lips.

Zi Yi felt her hand itching. Just as she wanted to take action, a large hand grabbed her hand.

Lu Jingye said to her in a low voice, "Yiyi, don't talk."

Zi Yi looked at him with discontentment.

However, she still kept her mouth shut.

The housekeeper soon came back with a whip in hand.

Patriarch Lu took the whip and looked at Lu Jingye. "Since you have chosen this woman, then you have to accept these twenty whips. After twenty whips, get lost with her at once."

"You-" Zi Yi was beyond angry.

However, Lu Jingye was one step ahead of her as he replied, "Okay."

"Ah Jing!"

Zi Yi's eyes turn red from anxiousness.

Lu Jingye held her hand and said, "Be good, stand by the side and wait for me."

He then looked towards Lu Jianlin and Mrs. Lu. "Father, Mother, I'm sorry."

Mrs. Lu's eyes were also reddened.

When he was saying that, The First and Third Family had already retreated to the sidelines.

(If you have problems with this website, please continue reading your novel on our new website myboxnovel.com THANKS!)

Mrs. Lu wanted to protect her son, but Lu Jianlin grabbed onto her arm and forcefully pulled her to the side.

Aisha looked at Lu Jingye with reddened eyes and asked in a sad tone, "Brother Lu, can't you just marry me?"

"I'm sorry. I can't."

As soon as he said that, he gave Zi Yi a reassuring look.

Zi Yi glanced at Patriarch Lu and Aisha unhappily, before she slowly moved back.

As for whoever dares to harm her Ah Jing today, she will definitely repay this grudge a hundredfold!

Soon, only Lu Jingye and Patriarch Lu remained in the center of the large living room.

Patriarch Lu asked for the last time with a grim expression, "You really intend to give up everything? Even your family?"

Lu Jingye said, "I am only giving up the identity of the Lu Family's Second Young Master which is preventing me from marrying Yiyi. You are all my family no matter what."

"Hmph! Then you better not regret your decision!"

As soon as Patriarch Lu said that, he waved the whip in his hand.

Whoosh~ Pa!

The sounds of the whip landing on flesh caused the spectators to tremble.

When Patriarch Lu gave Lu Jingye his first whip, Zi Yi could not endure it anymore and immediately called out Shadow.

The Lu Family members were all shocked at the sudden appearance of the robot.

Zi Yi said with a chilly expression, "You're not to hit Ah Jing!"

Patriarch Lu glared at Zi Yi in anger and he shouted, "I dare you to have your robot make a move."

Just then Lu Jingye turned to her and said, "Yiyi, don't move."

Zi Yi was anxious and angry at the same time. "I can't stand other people hurting you."

Lu Jingye gently coaxed her. "It's only twenty whips. After these twenty whips, we can be together."

Zi Yi bit her lips at his words and was boiling in rage deep down.

Patriarch Lu looked at both of them and the flames of fury in his heart burned even stronger. He directly raised his whip and whipped down on Lu Jingye's back.

Whoosh~ Pa!

The second whip.

The third whip.

...

One by one, the whip strokes landed on Lu Jingye's back and his clothes and skin tore, while revealing his flesh. However, Lu Jingye stood up steadily, and even if he was in great pain, he merely took a small step forward. There were no traces of pain in his expression on his face.

Mrs. Lu felt her heart breaking when she saw her eldest son getting hit and she hid her face as she wept bitterly.

Her second son was in a coma and she didn't even know when he would be able to regain consciousness. Her eldest son merely fell in love with a woman and yet, he was treated like that!

She hated the Lu Family to death!

Lu Jianlin wanted to hug her, but he was pushed away.

Outside the door.

Ouyang Ming looked at He Fei who had a complicated look on his face. "Do you want to go in and take a look at Second Brother's appearance from getting hit?"

He Fei knew that he had lost when he heard the words Lu Jingye had said. He had lost thoroughly. Compared to what he had done for Zi Yi, he felt that he was unable to do the same.

Thinking of this, he felt irritated deep down as he turned to look at Ouyang Ming. With a sullen expression, he said, "I'm not interested."

He turned around and left.

Ouyang Ming followed him and teased him. "Aren't you striving to catch up to Second Brother? Your opportunity has now arrived. As long as Second Brother gets chased out by Patriarch Lu, he will have nothing under his name."

He Fei suddenly stopped walking. He stood there for some time before he clenched his fists and said, "You're right. As long as Second Brother is chased out of the Lu Family, he will have nothing. I have to work hard and earn more money so that I can catch up to him... No, to surpass him!"

Having said this, He Fei grabbed Ouyang Ming's shoulders and said, "Ah Ming, we'll set off tomorrow."

Ouyang Ming looked at him with a strange expression. "You are not planning to show yourself before Zi Yi to increase your sense of presence in her mind?"

"No. I will return only after earning billions. At that time, I'll be able to show off in front of them."

Ouyang Ming: "..."

So, when this person repeatedly said that he likes Zi Yi, was it because he truly liked her, or did he just find it hard to swallow the rejection and want to strive for vindication?

...

Even though Patriarch Lu was already in his seventies, the strength he possessed was still surprising.

After Lu Jingye endured the twenty whips, his back was already in a mess. The strong scent of blood hovered around the entire living room.

It was a shocking sight.

Mrs. Lu and Aisha cried uncontrollably.

Zi Yi had been glaring at Patriarch Lu with those blazing eyes of hers the entire time.

After the twenty whips, Lu Jingye's body lightly swayed.

Zi Yi hastily walked over to support him and called out. "Ah Jing."

There were traces of blood on the corner of his lips. He had clenched his teeth earlier and accidentally bitten his tongue. He originally wanted to pat Zi Yi's hand to reassure her. However, with the slightest movement, it affected the injury on his back and he could not help but convulse slightly.

Zi Yi knew that his back must be hurting really badly right now and she was anxious to bring him away for treatment. She then asked Patriarch Lu with a cold expression, "I believe we can leave now, right?"

Patriarch Lu looked at Lu Jingye coldly. "After leaving this house, there's no need to come back in the future."

Everyone was looking at Lu Jingye and Zi Yi.

The First Madam shed crocodile tears as she said, "Jingye, why do you insist on doing this? You're clearly aware of your grandfather's temper. No one is allowed to go against his decision. If you really leave with her, you won't be able to interfere with the affairs of the Lu Family in the future."

Lu Jingye had his eyes lowered and he did not respond.

Mrs. Lu coldly snorted. "Isn't this the result you have been looking forward to seeing?"

She then walked over to Lu Jingye and asked, "Jingye, are you able to walk by yourself?"

"Mother, don't worry.. I'm fine."

Chapter 454: Lu Jingye: From Now On, I'm Yours.

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Mrs. Lu felt her nose sour at his words and she nearly teared up again. "How is it alright? The blood from your back has even splattered all over the floor."

She then hastily said to Zi Yi, "Little Zi, hurry and leave with Jingye. Send him to the hospital and don't let his wound get infected."

Zi Yi nodded at Mrs. Lu. "Auntie, don't worry. With me around, nothing will happen to Ah Jing."

Following that, she supported Lu Jingye and walked away.

When they walked past Lu Jianlin, Lu Jingye glanced at him.

Lu Jianlin furrowed his brows and looked at him, but he did not say anything.

Zi Yi helped Lu Jingye out of the Lu Family's main gate. At this moment, those from the Dou Family were all anxiously waiting for her outside.

Lu Jingye's steps were slightly staggered as he walked out and when the Dou Family saw that Zi Yi was supporting him as they walked, they hastily went up and asked, "What happened to Little Lu?"

Zi Yi briefly told them what had happened.

The Dou Family members were shocked, surprised, and became very angry after hearing what she had said.

"To think that Patriarch Lu is so ruthless!"

However, at the thought that Lu Jingye did all these things for Zi Yi's sake, they felt somewhat gratified. In the end, all of them looked at him with a complicated gaze.

Lu Jingye's body shook at that moment. He was almost unable to support himself any further.

Zi Yi hastily helped him up and she said, "Ah Jing, hold on a little longer. I'll treat your injuries for you when we get back."

Lu Jingye responded with an 'ok'.

Dou Jingning spoke up. "Get Little Lu in the car first. Based on his current injuries, he's unable to sit and can only lie down on his stomach."

"That's right. I'll drive the car over right away."

Dou Yunhao left to get the car after having said that.

When the car arrived, Zi Yi asked, "Ah Jing, are you able to get in?"

Lu Jingye gave her a nod.

Dou Jingtong who was standing by the side looked at the inside of the car and said out of concern, "The space within the car is a little small. Little Lu won't be able to fit in comfortably."

(If you have problems with this website, please continue reading your novel on our new website myboxnovel.com THANKS!)

"Then what should we do?" Dou Xiangling had only taken a peek at Lu Jingye's back and she still had lingering heart palpitations. With the wounds where his flesh was exposed, it gave off a painful feeling even just by looking at the sight of it.

"I'm fine." Lu Jingye still had that gentle expression. "I'll pay more attention when I get in."

Zi Yi thought for a moment and said, "Ah Jing, wait a minute. I'll remodel the car right away."

She immediately called out Shadow and under the Dou Family's surprised gazes, she directly increased the car space.

After she was done with it, Lu Jingye intended to get in the car.

However, his large movements caused his back to start bleeding again.

The sight was so shocking that the Dou Family members could not bear to look straight at it.

Dou Jingning said, "Little Lu, don't get in on your own. We'll carry you inside."

Lu Jingye did not reject their offer and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."

Several men of the Dou Family worked together and carried Lu Jingye into the car.

Following that, the car directly drove back to Zi Yi's villa.

It was already around 11 p.m at night and the housekeeper was waiting in the courtyard together with a group of helpers and robots.

The moment they saw the car driving in, the robots pushed the stretcher to the side of the car.

Zi Yi quickly alighted and gave orders. "Carry Ah Jing to the stretcher and be careful not to touch his back injuries. Bring him to the operating room at once."

The robots received her orders and one of them directly stretched its mechanical arm and lifted Lu Jingye up as he put him on the stretcher.

The Dou Family members gathered around her.

"Yiyi, is it possible for an operation to happen at your place?"

The First Madam looked at the half-conscious Lu Jingye and her brows were tightly knitted together due to worry.

"Yes, I have an operating room here."

She immediately gave orders to the robots. "Immediately make preparations."

She then spoke to the Dou Family members. "Uncle, Aunt, Cousins, you can go wait in the living room first. I'll operate on Ah Jing right away."

Having said that, she said to the housekeeper, "Please help me take care of them."

"Miss Zi, don't worry. I will take good care of your family members."

Zi Yi nodded her head and got one of the robots to push the stretcher as they strode towards the backyard.

All of them followed her.

When Zi Yi arrived in the backyard, she handed her phone to the housekeeper. "If Auntie Lu calls, tell her not to worry. It is a minor injury and I promise that he will have a complete recovery in two days."

The housekeeper knows of Zi Yi's capabilities and heeded her orders as he took the phone.

When everyone arrived at the middle of the backyard, Zi Yi had to head down to the basement and so, she went separate ways from them.

The housekeeper led all the Dou Family members to the living room.

Lu Jingye's injuries were indeed considered severe in other people's eyes. However, it was only a minor injury in Zi Yi's opinion.

Moreover, she had purchased plenty of medicinal ingredients from the black market some time ago. She had also been spending time extracting their medicinal properties when she was free.

What she had to do right now was to clean up the ripped clothes, flesh, and blood on his back.

She took a pill and gave it to Lu Jingye before she started.

"What's this?" Lu Jingye looked at the pill she had placed beside his lips and asked.

"This medicine can block your nerves and you won't feel any pain when I clean your wound."

Lu Jingye opened his mouth and ate the pill.

Zi Yi then started cleaning his wound. While cleaning, she said while fuming in anger, "Why did you let your grandfather whip you twenty times?"

She could not help but lose her temper after saying that and she poked his handsome face angrily.

Lu Jingye allowed her to act as she pleased as he explained. "If I didn't do that, Grandfather would be unable to explain to General Hank. I would also be unable to dispel Aisha's thoughts of marrying me."

1

Now that he had done this, the incident would soon spread to everyone. For the sake of the Alysseus Family's reputation, it was impossible for General Hank to let Aisha marry him now.

More importantly, without the status of the Lu Family's Second Young Master, no one would want to marry him in the future. He could also do many things which he could not have done with his original identity.

Zi Yi spent more than half an hour before she managed to clean all the wounds on his back. She looked at the whip lashes on his back and her anger surged forth once again.

"I'll add your name under my account book and family register later and let your grandfather understand the word regret."

Lu Jingye looked at the young lady whose cheeks were flushed due to anger and he gently coaxed her. "Yiyi, don't be angry. From now on, I'm yours. Aren't you happy?"

Zi Yi looked at him. He was already in such a condition and yet he still managed to say that. She felt her heart warm up, but she still maintained a taut expression and poked his cheeks with her fingers.

She still had lingering anger after poking and ended up stealing a few touches.

Lu Jingye looked at the young lady openly molesting him and traces of a smile surfaced in his eyes.

Following that, Zi Yi applied the medicine for him.

The medicine she developed was particularly effective. A transparent ointment was soon spread all over his back and his wounds started to heal and scab.

Zi Yi thought of the Dou Family members who were still waiting for her in the living room and said, "You have to lie down on your stomach the whole night so that all your wounds can scab by tomorrow. I'll go check up on my uncles first and then I'll come back later."

"Alright."

Chapter 455: I'll Change Your Pants For You

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

As soon as Zi Yi made her way into the living room, the Dou Family members who were waiting for her anxiously stood up.

"How's Little Lu doing?"

"Don't worry. It's only a minor injury and he will heal in a few days."

The way Zi Yi said this sounded very casual and the Dou Family members, who were originally worried, had all breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that he's alright."

"I didn't expect Little Lu would do things to this extent." Dou Jingtong said, "He's my student and in my impression of him, he has never done something so impulsive."

Lu Jingye would plan out everything before he did anything and he always took his time.

Dou Jingtong could not help but sigh a little. At the same time, the thought that Lu Jingye did all this for his niece, he felt relieved.

Zi Yi lightly smiled and said, "Ah Jing is my man from now on."

Upon hearing Zi Yi saying such words unabashedly, their worries and concerns had disappeared.

Dou Jingning said, "There will definitely be some trouble in the future with what Little Lu did tonight. If you two are to encounter anything, you must inform us. We won't let anyone bully the Dou Family members."

Dou Xiaoyong also said, "That's right. Also, if Little Lu really does get removed from his family registry, you should avoid bringing up this topic in front of him in the future. He's an outstanding person and he will definitely be able to start from scratch soon."

Zi Yi burst into laughter at their words. These two Uncles were most likely worried that now that Lu Jingye was penniless, there would be some gap between them?

Dou Xiaoyong stared at her discontentedly and she hastily restrained her laughter and nodded in all seriousness. "I understand."

What Zi Yi did not say was, Lu Jingye had already agreed to give her all his private property last night. He had indeed transferred everything under her name and even if Lu Jingye was poor, normal wealthy people were unable to compare with him.

1

The reason why she did not tell her uncle this was because she wanted to let them have the impression that Lu Jingye was penniless.

If even the Dou Family felt that Lu Jingye was penniless, all the more so was the case for the outside world. It'll be easier to take care of some people when the time comes.

Everyone had work and lessons tomorrow and so, they only sat down for a while before they left.

Zi Yi grabbed her tablet and phone and went down to the basement.

Lu Jingye was lying there half-naked. His skin color was not pale, similar to those who stayed in their offices for long periods of time. Instead, it contained a hint of bronze. Coupled with his wide back, he gave off an impression of someone who had great strength. However, his perfect back was scattered with whiplash marks.

(If you have problems with this website, please continue reading your novel on our new website myboxnovel.com THANKS!)

With his handsome face and the injuries on his back, he gave off an indescribable feeling.

All of a sudden certain words surfaced in her mind — waiting to be ravaged.

Lu Jingye seemed to have seen through her current thoughts and his voice slightly tightened. "Yiyi, go and put on a change of clothes."

Only then did Zi Yi recall that she was still wearing formal clothes. She looked down and her silvery-white clothes were stained with dirt and blood, which looked a little miserable.

She walked over to him and put her hands in front of him. "I'll change your pants."

Lu Jingye's throat tightened. "No."

Zi Yi's lips curled up and she stood up straight. "We'll go with that then. I'll go take a shower first, then fetch some water to give you a wipe down."

Having said that, she turned around and left the operation room.

"..."

Lu Jingye looked at that figure who was walking briskly in a cheerful manner and the corner of his lips twitched. All of a sudden, he felt an incoming headache.

Zi Yi finished showering and put on a change of clothes. While she went downstairs, she gave Mrs. Lu a call.

Mrs. Lu was still in the main residence, but she had returned to their courtyard.

Right now, her eyes were still swollen from all the crying earlier.

Zi Yi said, "Auntie, don't you worry. I will make Ah Jing's injuries heal very quickly."

How could Mrs. Lu not worry? She said, "Jingye was beaten so fiercely and how could he possibly recover so fast?!"

Zi Yi knew that Mrs. Lu would still worry if she did not see him in person. "Auntie, if you're still worried, you can come over and check up on him tomorrow. I promise that you will be relieved once you see him tomorrow."

Mrs. Lu also had similar plans and so, she agreed. Following that, they talked about what happened after they left.

"After Jingye left, his grandfather called the males of the family into his study room. It should be about the Lu Group's matters. In any case, your uncle has yet to return."

Mrs. Lu's expression was that of indifference when she said that. Clearly, she was greatly disappointed with the Lu Family. "Jingye's grandfather will most likely take back all the authority.

It's better this way. Jingye has been managing the Lu Group ever since he was young and he has never had a good rest. He slogged for the Lu Family like a dog and it can't even be seen as enough compared to his grandfather's pride."

"Auntie, don't be sad. Ah Jing is a genius in the business world. Even without the Lu Group, it's not difficult for him to recreate his past achievements."

"I'm not worried. I only feel injustice for him." Mrs. Lu did not wish to continue talking about such unhappy things. "Without the Lu Group, he still has my dowry, the Song Jewelry. It will be easier on him to manage the jewelry company."

Zi Yi nodded her head.

The two of them chatted for a while more and Zi Yi headed down to the basement.

Zi Yi knew that Lu Jingye would not want Mrs. Lu to see his current appearance and so, she said, "Auntie, you should rest early. You can directly make your way over tomorrow."

Mrs. Lu understood what she meant. "Alright."

The two of them ended the phone call and Zi Yi arrived at the basement.

Zi Yi had brought a pair of pajama pants with her for Lu Jingye. When she arrived at the operating room, she carried the warm water the robot had prepared and pushed open the door as she made her way inside.

Lu Jingye looked at the pajama pants in her hands and said, "Yiyi, pass me the pants. I'll change myself."

"You won't be able to move." Zi Yi walked over to his side and placed the basin next to him while throwing the pajama pants aside as she planned to unbuckle his belt.

"Ah Jing, you can try moving."

"..."

"You can't move, right?" As soon as she asked that question, she directly reached out her hands.

Lu Jingye raised his hand and grabbed hers. With a serious expression, he said, "How can a female casually take off a man's pants."

The corner of her lips curled up and she bent over and sealed his lips.

Since Lu Jingye could not move, he could only allow the young lady to do as she wished.

After Zi Yi finished kissing him, she smacked her lips and said, "You're already my man. How is this casually taking off a man's pants?"

Having said that, her hands reached downwards.

Lu Jingye's body instantly stiffened.

The young lady must be doing this on purpose, just because he was unable to move.

In fact, Zi Yi was indeed doing it on purpose. She winked at him and said, "If you move, don't scold me if I accidentally touch places I'm not supposed to touch."

1

"..."

Lu Jingye looked at Zi Yi with those deep-set eyes of his and his voice deepened. "Take your hands out first."

Zi Yi could not possibly do anything while he was injured and so, she obediently took out her hands.

Lu Jingye raised his waist and soon, Zi Yi pulled down his pants and helped him with the pajama pants.

Following that, she wiped him down. "Ah Jing, are you hungry?"

"I'm not hungry. It's getting late and you still have lessons tomorrow. You should sleep early."

It was already 2 a.m in the early morning right now and Zi Yi was indeed somewhat weary. She pressed a button on the bed and it directly extended to the side, which transformed it into a large bed.

Zi Yi went out to grab a quilt before she climbed up onto the bed and lay down beside Lu Jingye. She covered his legs and said, "Ah Jing, goodnight."

"Goodnight."

Chapter 456: Yiyi, Did You Sleep Well Last Night?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The next morning. As soon as Zi Yi opened her eyes, her vision met with Lu Jingye's deep-set eyes, where a flame was flickering within.

Zi Yi blinked her eyes and felt a little confused with the current situation.

Lu Jingye had suffered an entire night of stimulation and he whispered in her ears with his hot breath, "Yiyi, did you sleep well last night?"

Zi Yi could not handle his hot breath and she subconsciously shrunk her neck before she nodded. "Yea, I had a good night's sleep."

"But I didn't sleep well."

Zi Yi noticed that when he said that, his eyes were staring straight into hers.

She subconsciously looked downwards, only to find that not only had she kicked the quilt away, she was also tightly hugging his arm. Most importantly... the top two buttons of her pajamas had somehow loosened and she just so happened to reveal some things that should not be exposed.

With how hot of a figure she had, just one glance was indeed enough to make a normal man have a nosebleed.

Zi Yi let go of his arm and buttoned up her pajama top without revealing the slightest trace of embarrassment. "In any case, you'll see them in the future. Does it even matter?"

Lu Jingye squinted his eyes while looking at her. Following that, he moved his head over and kissed her lips.

If not for the fact that she was sleeping soundly all night, he would have already done so.

The two of them only parted after some time had passed.

Zi Yi checked the wounds on his back while panting slightly as she said, "Your wounds have all scabbed over."

The medicine Zi Yi used on him was far better than anything Lu Jingye has ever seen. He did not feel the slightest trace of pain last night and there was also no fever or other implications.

Zi Yi said, "You can walk around the house today, but you're refrained from doing any large movements. It's best to wear silk or satin clothes."

"Alright." Lu Jingye did not have any plans to head out either.

The two of them lay there on the bed and discussed what their next plans were.

"The news that you were driven out of the Lu Family by your grandfather will definitely be spread out today. Will people come and fish in troubled waters?"

In fact, there was no need for her to even think about it. After all, Lu Jingye used to be the king of the business industry. It would be the wish of all the large corporations to bring down the Lu Group which Lu Jingye had developed over the years.

"There's also Rick. He certainly will not give up just like that."

"It's fine." Lu Jingye was not worried at all. "It's good for the Lu Group to meet with some setbacks."

In that case, no one would pay attention to his younger brother.

(If you have problems with this website, please continue reading your novel on our new website myboxnovel.com THANKS!)

It was just that Zi Yi would definitely have it harder when the time comes.

At the thought of this, Lu Jingye tilted his head and gave her a peck on the cheek. "Yiyi, you should create more invisible bodyguard robots."

Zi Yi knew of his concerns and kissed him back before she giggled and said, "It just so happens that I need people to practice my silver needle techniques on. Whoever comes finding trouble shall have the honor of becoming my guinea pig."

"Alright."

Lu Jingye knew that his injuries would heal very soon and he would be able to concentrate on protecting his woman. Therefore, he was not worried about what those people would try to do to her.

They had a short chat before they got up from the bed.

Lu Jingye only put on outerwear before he went upstairs together with Zi Yi.

The housekeeper was already waiting for them when they came out. The moment he saw Lu Jingye, he hastily asked out of concern, "Second Young Master, is it fine for you to get down from the bed and move around?"

Lu Jingye said, "I'm fine."

Zi Yi said to the housekeeper with a smile, "With me around, it's hard for anything to happen to Ah Jing. By the way, please prepare a few sets of silk and satin clothing for Ah Jing. There are fewer chances of his clothes rubbing against his scabbed wounds that way."

"I understand." The housekeeper immediately took out his mobile phone and gave orders to have the clothes delivered over.

Zi Yi and Lu Jingye made their way into the living room.

When they arrived at the living room, Zi Yi grabbed a tablet and checked it out together with Lu Jingye while standing.

Lu Jingye lifted his hand and swiped a few times. All of a sudden, he asked, "Yiyi, were you the one who suddenly got involved yesterday?"

Zi Yi tilted her head and looked at him. She blinked those beautiful eyes of hers and purposely asked, "Guess?"

Since Zi Yi had said so, it had proved Lu Jingye's guess. The corner of his lips curled up and he asked, "You're short of money that badly?"

"Yep." Zi Yi nodded her head in all seriousness. "I am planning to open a company with a partner and I need money."

"You can use the money I transferred to you last night."

"No way. I am going to keep that money and spend it slowly."

Lu Jingye laughed in response and said, "You had at least robbed tens of billions last night and it should be enough for whatever you intend to do. If you're still short of money, I'll earn it for you."

Zi Yi widened her eyes and stared at him while she said in all seriousness, "You're my man now and I should be the one supporting you."

Lu Jingye grabbed her hand and did not feel that there was anything wrong with being a gigolo. Thus, he happily responded positively.

The housekeeper who was serving their breakfast just so happened to hear their conversation. His feet nearly staggered and he could not help but lament deep down. "The Second Young Master is indeed deeply in love with Miss Zi."

The clothes the housekeeper tasked others to prepare were soon delivered.

After Zi Yi and Lu Jingye finished breakfast, Mrs. Lu arrived. She first ordered the driver when she alighted from the car. "Carry the bags."

Zi Yi and Lu Jingye saw the driver carrying several bags in and they looked towards Mrs. Lu at the same time.

The first thing she did was to ask about Lu Jingye's condition. "Jingye, how are your injuries?"

"Mother, don't you worry. Yiyi's medicine is superb and my wounds have already scabbed.

Having said that, he lifted up his top and showed her his back.

Mrs. Lu was finally relieved after seeing his back. "I brought you some tonics. Use them whenever you need them. If you don't need them for the time being, you can give them to Little Zi for other usages."

Zi Yi subconsciously asked, "Auntie Lu, don't tell me you brought all the tonics that are kept in the Lu Family?"

Mrs. Lu was originally upset by Lu Jingye's grandfather's decision. However, after Zi Yi asked that question, she burst out laughing. "That's right, I did bring all the tonics over. What's wrong with sending my son some tonics?"

Lu Jingye asked, "Mother, did something happen?"

Mrs. Lu had an indifferent expression. "Nothing much. Your grandfather decided to hand all your work over to your eldest cousin."

Mrs. Lu only felt disappointed with the family

Zi Yi walked over and held Mrs. Lu's arm. "Auntie Lu, Lu Zhiheng is incapable of taking over such a large company like the Lu Group. We can just wait for him to regret it and come begging for Ah Jing's help."

Mrs. Lu somehow felt happy deep down.

"That's right. Jingye was the one who expanded the Lu Group to its current size. Do they honestly think that it doesn't matter if Jingye isn't around? I'd like to see their appearances when they cry and beg for help."

While chatting, they made their way inside.

They sat down on the sofa after entering the living room. Mrs. Lu held Zi Yi's hand and said, "Little Yi, there's no need to pay any heed to what Jingye's grandfather said last night. Jingye is an adult and we are no longer in a closed-off society. As long as he is unwilling, no one can decide on Jingye's marriage on his behalf."

Mrs. Lu spent the whole night worrying that Zi Yi and the Dou Family might take it to heart. After all, Patriarch Lu was rather harsh with his words and anyone who heard him would take it to heart.

Zi Yi nodded and glanced at Lu Jingye. "Now that Ah Jing is with me, what's there to care about?"

What she should be angry with was that stubborn and obstinate old man..

Chapter 457: Zi Yi, The Student Union President, Campus Belle

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Mrs. Lu likes Zi Yi's personality because she does not pay much attention to insignificant things. She smiled and patted her on her hand. "It's good that you didn't take it to heart."

After the trio chatted for some time, Mrs. Lu had something to discuss with Lu Jingye alone. "Little Zi, aren't you heading to school today?"

"I'm going."

"Then you should quickly make your way to school. Auntie will be staying here today and I'll leave after having dinner together with you."

"Sounds good."

After Zi Yi left, Mrs. Lu said, "Jingye, I heard from them that you were the one who initiated the worldwide economic war last night. There are many companies that lost their funds. Is that right?"

"Mother, why are you asking this?"

Mrs. Lu never once paid attention nor asked any questions related to business. There must definitely be a problem for her to have asked this.

She furrowed her brows and said, "I woke up early today and while I was headed for my morning run, I overheard the conversation between Zhiheng and Rick. Zhiheng had actually told Rick to come to you for an explanation."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Lu got angry. "I think that he just can't wait to pour all the dirty water onto you, so that you can live a miserable life."

Lu Jingye had already anticipated this situation to happen and he had already made plans for it. "Mother, there's no need to worry. I will settle this."

At most, Rick would launch a fierce retaliation against the Lu Family and try to settle their grudges in private.

Lu Jingye had long thought about the countermeasure for that.

Lu Zhiheng would never have thought that Rick would retaliate against the Lu Group. He must be thinking that he could form an alliance with Rick, but he doesn't know that the latter has looked down on him ever since the beginning.

Mrs. Lu was relieved at the sight of her eldest son's confidence.

In her heart, her sons were the best and the most outstanding.

Since she did not have to worry about this, they started chatting about Lu Yunxiao.

...

After last night's events, the entire capital was shrouded in a grim atmosphere. In particular, the students from the School of Economics had already been discussing it since the morning.

"Someone initiated a worldwide economic war last night, did you know?"

"Of course. I was writing a paper and while checking for information, I discovered something amiss and so, I spectated from the sidelines. That type of war between the large corporations is not something I can get involved in even if I were in the industry for 500 years."

(If you have problems with this website, please continue reading your novel on our new website myboxnovel.com THANKS!)

"Who do you think is capable of pulling the whole world's economic system into chaos?"

"I feel that it must be a country. It is impossible for a single individual to have done all that."

"My thoughts exactly... Professor Dou has an open lecture today and he will definitely use last night's economic war for the lesson and break it down for us. We'll be left with no seats if we're late!"

...

Zi Yi parked her car in the parking lot outside the School of Liberal Arts. Just as she was about to head to the Archaeology Department, her mobile phone rang.

Unexpectedly, the call was from Dou Jingtong.

He asked, "Yiyi, have you arrived at school yet?"

"I just reached."

"I have an open lecture later and it's being held in the School of Economics' Multimedia Building, Room 302. Come over and listen in."

Zi Yi agreed to it.

When she arrived at the School of Economics, those who saw her were all excited.

"Wow! Zi Yi has unexpectedly made her way over to our school!

"Did Zi Yi choose any courses in our school?"

"I don't think she did?"

"Then what is she here for?"

"Who cares, it's already a fortunate thing to be able to meet her in person."

"That's right. Speaking of which, the online voting for the Campus Belle selection has recently opened. Say, since she did not run for the officer position of the Student Union's External Relations Department, do you think she will be like Murong You from the School of Foreign Language and canvass for votes everywhere?"

"I doubt it. She didn't even participate in the External Relations Department election and perhaps she will not even pay any attention to this campus belle election either."

"The nature of the competition is different, alright. The campus belle position represents the prettiest girl in the school and no matter which girl, they would definitely want to be the prettiest amongst everyone."

"That makes sense. Then who will you vote for?"

"Of course Zi Yi! She's prettier than Murong You."

"But Murong You is also very pretty!"

...

Under everyone's stares, Zi Yi walked into the classroom where Professor Dou was holding the open lecture.

The multimedia classroom was rather spacious and it could accommodate up to two hundred people.

By the time Zi Yi went in, seventy percent of the seats were filled up.

However, the first few rows were rather empty.

Zi Yi simply randomly found a seat in the first few rows.

As soon as she sat down, everyone began to stir.

Before long, the seats behind Zi Yi were all filled up and some of them even pushed and shoved. One of the female students could not take it anymore and she asked, "Student Zi, are you also here to listen to Professor Dou's open lecture?"

Zi Yi tilted her head and glanced at the excited female student behind her and gave her a nod.

The female student did not expect Zi Yi to respond and she hastily asked, "The campus belle selection has already started. Why haven't you started campaigning for votes yet?"

"Campaigning?" Zi Yi looked at her in confusion.

The female student was stunned by her reaction. "Don't you know that you need to campaign for votes for the campus belle selection?"

"Why should I campaign?" Zi Yi asked instead of answering.

"So that people will vote for you?"

"I don't need it." Zi Yi could not be bothered with the campus belle selection. She turned to look at the front after having said that.

The people around her were all surprised to hear Zi Yi's answer.

"Murong You's admirers have already started to pull votes in for her. Yet, Zi Yi isn't anxious in the slightest."

"Could it be that she doesn't really care?"

Just as they were about to start a discussion, a tall figure suddenly appeared by the door.

Immediately, several female students looked at him with starry eyes as they covered their mouths and started screaming.

"Ahhhhh! Sure enough, President Nangong has come for Professor Dou's open lecture."

"Ahhhhh! President Nangong is so handsome."

Zi Yi heard the infatuated screams from behind her and she glanced at Nangong Yu who was headed in her direction.

He directly came over to her side and stopped. With a smile, he greeted her. "Junior Zi, I didn't expect you would also be here to listen to Professor Dou's open lecture."

Zi Yi gave him a nod.

Nangong Yu did not mind her cold response to him and directly sat beside her.

His actions caused numerous male and female students to feel jealous.

Nangong Yu took out his economics textbooks and placed them on the table. While flipping through the pages, he asked, "Junior Zi, did you pay attention to the results of the Student Union election?"

"I didn't." She was so busy these days and she didn't even have time to scroll through the school's forum.

Nangong Yu was not surprised and he continued asking, "Then do you know who successfully won the officer position of the External Relations Department?"

Zi Yi said with confidence, "Chen Yuying."

The corner of his lips curled up upon hearing Zi Yi's answer. "It seems like you have already guessed that she had the potential to be elected as the Head Officer of the External Relations Department... I heard that you had said words to stimulate her too."

Zi Yi nodded her head. Just then, another two female students came in.

Zi Yi heard voices of discussion around her. "Murong You is here too?"

"Could it be that she found out that President Nangong is here and so, she came?"

"It's obvious that's the case."

"Say, if Murong You sees Zi Yi and President Nangong seated together, will she get jealous?"

The first thing Murong You saw when she came into the classroom was Nangong Yu who was smiling at Zi Yi. Her eyes flickered for a second before she revealed a smile and headed over.

"President Nangong, what a coincidence."

Chapter 458: She's so Good at Pretending as if She is Knowledgeable in Everything!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After she said that, she pretended to casually ask, "President Nangong, is there anyone sitting in the seat next to you?"

"There isn't."

"Then can I take a seat?"

Nangong Yu gestured for her to sit.

Murong You revealed a faint smile and she sat next to Nangong Yu together with the female student she came with.

After she sat down, she acted as if she had only just noticed Zi Yi and asked, "I don't recall Student Zi having chosen Economics lessons. Why have you come to listen to the open lecture?"

Zi Yi casually answered, "I just felt like it. Could it be that I'm not allowed to?"

Murong You was speechless. She bit her lips and traces of embarrassment flashed across her face. "I don't mean it like that."

The female student sitting next to Murong You was unhappy. "Little You merely asked you a question. What's with your tone of voice?"

Zi Yi took out her phone and simply ignored the two strange people.

Zi Yi did not respond, but the female student was adamant about not letting her off. She crossed her arms and said, "Some people are just jealous that our Little You has more votes than her and so, she is deliberately giving her attitude."

Zi Yi coldly asked, "How much higher is Murong You's votes?"

"Why are you pretending to be unaware and as if you're all so lofty? You-"

"Not everyone is concerned about appearances like you are. Also, not everyone deludes themselves as you do. If we were to compare on appearance, can you find another person who is prettier than me in M.Uni?"

Some people's confidence would be regarded as arrogance. However, no one could refute what Zi Yi had said.

"If we were to choose the prettiest, Zi Yi is indeed the prettiest female student in M.Uni."

"That's right, I don't even understand what that girl is trying to say."

Following that, questioning voices could be heard one after another.

Zi Yi glanced at Murong You and the female student next to her who were barely maintaining their expressions and the corner of her lips curled up.

Just then, Murong You glanced at the female student next to her and used her expression to motion for her to keep her mouth shut.

The female student felt discontented, but she still ended up keeping quiet.

(If you have problems with this website, please continue reading your novel on our new website myboxnovel.com THANKS!)

It just so happens that Professor Dou walked into the classroom at that point in time.

As soon as he made his way in, the entire classroom quietened down.

He stood on the podium and swept his gaze across the classroom. In the end, he met gazes with Zi Yi for a second before he started today's lecture.

"I believe that as a student studying Economics, everyone should already know about what happened last night. What I am going to teach you today is..."

Professor Dou's lecture today covered the relationship between the economic system between each country, as well as the conditions and powerful capabilities required to initiate a worldwide economic war.

The majority of the students listened attentively and only Murong You along with the female student sitting next to Nangong Yu could not keep up.

The female student glanced at Zi Yi who was concentrating on the lesson and clicked her tongue, while she whispered sarcastically, "She's so good at pretending as if she is really knowledgeable in everything!"

Murong You glanced at her but did not say anything.

Clearly, she agreed with what she had said.

Just then, Professor Dou suddenly said, "It seems like some people are not interested in my lecture today."

As soon as Professor Dou said that, the group of students were surprised.

It had to be known that Professor Dou was a gold medal professor in the School of Economics. Not only were his lectures vivid, but he used the latest examples in every lecture, allowing them to benefit greatly. Even seniors and Ph.D. students would fight to attend his lecture.

And yet, someone was uninterested?

Everyone subconsciously turned to look at Zi Yi, Murong You, and the female student.

If there was really someone who was uninterested in Professor Dou's lesson, then it would be the three of them who were from other majors.

Professor Dou glanced at the three of them. "The three female students sitting next to Student Nangong seem to be unfamiliar faces. Since you're here to listen to my lecture, you should have heard of my habit. I will often interact with the students in my class... Well, among the three of you, one of you shall tell me the impact of last night's incident on the whole world's economy."

As soon as he said that, everyone in the room looked at them with a sympathetic gaze.

Even students who majored in Economics were unable to clearly explain the relationship and yet, Professor Dou wanted them to explain?

The female student sitting next to Murong You instantly wilted. She tried her best to shrink her neck and lower her sense of presence.

Murong You's expression merely changed ever so slightly. During such a situation with everyone looking, the more she could not openly show her ignorance. Otherwise, she would be regarded as inferior compared to Zi Yi.

Thinking of this, she quietly glanced at Zi Yi who was sitting there with a calm expression. Her mind quickly thought of something and she said with a sincere expression, "Professor Dou, Zi Yi is knowledgeable in everything and I think that she must have her own personal opinions on this topic. Why don't you let her stand up and talk about it first?"

Zi Yi tilted her head and looked towards her as she asked with a calm expression. "If I talk about my opinion, will you say yours too?"

Murong You was stunned for a moment. Everyone was looking at her right now and she could not possibly make a fool out of herself. In the end, she nodded. "Of course."

Zi Yi nodded her head. She stood up and immediately started to speak.

The moment she started to speak, everyone's expression turned serious and even Professor Dou was the same.

In particular, when she was talking about deeper topics, Professor Dou even had a discussion with her.

After Zi Yi was done, everyone was so shocked that they forgot to react.

Professor Dou nodded his head in satisfaction. He thought that Lu Jingye must have explained it to her last night for her to have such a deep understanding of this. He was even more satisfied with Lu Jingye deep down and thought that after his injuries have healed, it would also be good to help him get a job in M.Uni, so that the two youngsters can live well. On the surface, he praised her. "Student Zi's views are very unique and hit the nail on the head. Good job."

Zi Yi still had that calm expression on her face. She tilted her head and looked at Murong You. "Student Murong, it's your turn."

Murong You was startled. "I..."

"You don't know?" Zi Yi did not give her a chance to find an excuse. "Professor Dou's lecture covers mainly on economics and it's normal for you to not understand. However... since you don't understand, why did you agree to say your view after I said mine?"

"I-"

"Could it be that you are purposely trying to see me embarrass myself from not being able to say anything?"

"No..."

"Sorry to have disappointed you... But then again... I have to say that you have not disappointed me."

Zi Yi's tone of voice was so calm, it was as if she was having a casual conversation with Murong You. However, every single word of hers made Murong You unable to refute.

Everyone looked at Zi Yi and felt that she was an expert in arguments and debates. Moreover, it was those types of statements that hit the nail on the head that could cause the opponent to suffer badly.

Professor Dou looked at his niece who was good with her words. He had exerted a great deal of effort to control the corner of his lips from curling up.

He was relieved as long as she did not get bullied by others.

Murong You felt extremely embarrassed right now and wished that she could leave right away. However, there were many people around her watching the situation, and not to mention, the guy she liked was sitting right beside her. If she really left, it would be even more humiliating. Therefore, she could only sit there with a flushed expression and endure it.

From this incident on, she hated Zi Yi even more.. Since she had caused her such great embarrassment today, she would definitely return the favor one day.

Chapter 459: I Am Fluent in Three Different Languages, Is Zi Yi Capable of That?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The lecture ended soon after and the students felt unsatisfied.

Many of them wanted to strike up a conversation with Zi Yi.

Just then, Professor Dou said to Zi Yi, "Student Zi, I have something to speak to you alone about, please stay... The rest of you can head to your other classes."

Since Professor Dou had said that, the other students could only leave even if they had wanted to remain.

Nangong Yu also had something to say to Zi Yi and before he left, he said, "Junior Zi, I have something to discuss with you. I'll wait for you outside the Multimedia Building."

Zi Yi nodded her head. "Alright."

Murong You, who originally planned to leave with Nangong Yu, was burning with jealousy.

However, she still left the classroom together with Nangong Yu.

After the room was cleared, Professor Dou looked at Zi Yi and asked, "Yiyi, how's Little Lu doing?"

"His injuries have healed, but he still needs to recuperate."

Dou Jingtong nodded his head and said out of concern, "I checked out the capital's and the international finance circles this morning. The incident last night was extremely large-scale and there were many large local companies affected by it too. The consequences of what Little Lu has done is definitely very serious and the two of you have to pay special attention."

Speaking of this, he was still worried and said, "Why don't you two move to our place during this period of time?"

Lu Jingye was a genius in the business world and his actions last night had undeniably caused large enterprises to suffer heavy losses. If the Lu Family were to be ruthless, and pushed all responsibility onto him, he would definitely be a target of retaliation at that time.

If Lu Jingye were to be a target, Zi Yi would also be affected.

The more he thought, the more he was worried about his niece.

"Fourth Uncle, there's no need to worry." Zi Yi knew of his concerns. "The security system of my house is very strong, no one can come over and do anything. Moreover, I have robots and outsiders are also unable to do anything to me."

Dou Jingtong had seen before the prowess of her robots. After he thought for a moment, he said, "Why don't you create a few more of those robots? Since they are capable of invisibility, it's convenient to bring them around too."

In that case, they would also worry less about her.

Zi Yi nodded her head. "I've already purchased the materials. Once they arrive, I'll get down to making them."

Only then did Dou Jingtong have peace of mind. Following that, he started talking about what situations would happen next.

The two of them had chatted for nearly half an hour before Zi Yi left for the Multimedia Building.

As soon as she came out, she saw Nangong Yu standing by the edge of the flower bed waiting for her.

Nangong Yu had a handsome appearance and he was also the President of the Student Union. Even though he merely stood there and waited, it had caused many female students to surround him, as they admired his appearance.

The moment Nangong Yu saw Zi Yi making her way out, he approached her and called out. "Junior Zi."

Zi Yi looked at him and asked, "Senior, what's the matter?"

"There will be a Global Economic Forum held in the capital in the upcoming days and our school has several student volunteer slots. Would you like to attend?"

The Global Economic Forum was an economic and financial conference attended by high-ranking officials from all over the world. Those who would attend are all giants of the industry and the recipients had to be carefully selected and pass stringent checks. Not only must they be fluent in several languages, but they must also have a certain foundation in economics.

Zi Yi did not immediately answer whether she would attend or not. "When is the forum being held?"

"Next Monday."

Today was Thursday.

If a student could attend such a forum, it would be a good opportunity for them.

However, Zi Yi could not be bothered about this type of opportunity, but she wanted to learn more about the recent trend in development and find some partners. In the end, she agreed to it.

"Sure."

As soon as Zi Yi agreed, Murong You walked over with a grim expression.

She directly questioned Nangong Yu. "President Nangong, didn't you tell me that M.Uni only has three student volunteer slots and they have been filled up?"

She also wanted to attend but Nangong Yu had refused her.

Therefore, there was no need to mention how uncomfortable she felt when she heard Nangong Yu suddenly extending Zi Yi an invitation.

Nangong Yu explained. "The requirements for volunteers are higher this time and they must have a foundation in economics. Junior Zi just happens to be knowledgeable in this aspect."

"But she can't speak other languages!" Murong You could not control her emotions and directly raised her voice as she said in a sharp tone, "I've been working hard to increase my knowledge in the economic field. Moreover, I am fluent in three different languages. Is Zi Yi capable of that?"

Zi Yi looked at Murong You who was pitting herself against her and she casually asked, "Do you want to compete?"

Murong You glared at Zi Yi. She was an outstanding student in the Foreign Language Department and she had never been afraid of anyone in this aspect. When she was about to agree, Zi Yi's phone suddenly rang. She took out her phone and said, "I have something to do. I'll be leaving first."

She immediately left after she said that.

Murong You was angered to the extent that she loudly shouted, without a care for her image, "Zi Yi, stop there!"

"Student Murong, since Student Zi has something on, the matter of competing can be pushed back."

Murong You's heart distorted even more when she heard what Nangong Yu said.

She was afraid that the image she had established before Nangong Yu would collapse. In the end, she responded with an 'ok' and left.

After Zi Yi had left out of their sight, she changed directions and came to a relatively secluded place to answer the call. Little Loli's voice immediately sounded from the other end. "Master, the people from above want to check out the bar."

Zi Yi coldly asked, "What reason did they give?"

"They said that our bar contains dangerous equipment."

"Hmph!" Zi Yi did not have to think to know who was behind this situation. "Where are they right now?"

"They're outside. I didn't let them in."

Zi Yi thought for a moment and said, "Let them enter. Activate interstellar mode. Since they want to check, let them check all they want."

Little Loli's voice was inexplicably excited. "Okay!"

Zi Yi ended the call and tapped on her wristwatch. A virtual screen appeared and she quickly did a check. Sure enough, Lu Zhiheng was behind this.

She coldly snorted and took out her phone to call Lu Jingye.

He answered the call very quickly. "Yiyi."

Zi Yi spoke in a serious tone. "Ah Jing, I'm planning to take care of your eldest cousin."

Lu Jingye asked in a slightly heavy voice, "What did he do to you?"

As soon as he said that, the sounds of tapping on the keyboard could be heard.

Following that, he asked, "What do you plan on doing? I'll do it instead."

"I plan to break the Lu Group's security defense wall and let your cousin suffer."

Lu Jingye had unexpectedly chuckled. "Alright."

He even gave her some advice. "You can give Mr. Tang a call. As long as he gives an order, no one would dare to have designs on your bar."

The corner of her lips curled up. "Alright."

After they hung up the phone, Zi Yi quickly penetrated Lu Group's defense wall and broke it easily.

The group of hackers who were keeping an eye on the Lu Group had immediately grabbed the opportunity to launch a fierce attack.

Following that, Zi Yi gave Mr.. Tang a call and he immediately promised to help her with this.

Chapter 460: Zi Yi Tags the Campus Belle, Sending Out a Challenge

Lu Group's Headquarters.

CEO's Office.

Lu Zhiheng looked around at the spacious CEO office and suddenly felt that his life was complete.

He tidied up his suit and raised the glass of red wine on his desk, while in high spirits. "Lu Jingye, I am capable of what you are capable of. Just you wait. I will definitely be able to push the Lu Group towards a better place."

Having said that, he triumphantly planned to finish the whole glass of red wine in one go.

However, at that moment, the door to his office was knocked on.

Lu Zhiheng said, "Come in."

The person who entered was the Department Head of the IT Department.

The IT Department Head had an anxious look on his face. "President, something has happened. The security firewall of the Lu Group has been breached and there is a group of hackers attacking our database where the confidential information is stored!"

The moment Lu Zhiheng heard that, he subconsciously thought that Lu Jingye was deliberately trying to cause trouble for him. His hand holding onto the glass shook and he threw it out of anger.

He then forcefully suppressed his anger and questioned with a frown, "The security defense of Lu Group is unparalleled and you're telling me that it was breached by hackers? Are you joking with me?"

The IT Department Head, who was as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof, suddenly felt uncomfortable deep down due to what Lu Zhiheng said. However, it was an urgent situation right now and so he explained it fully to him.

"President, the security defenses of our company are indeed unparalleled, but there's no guarantee that hackers will not find any loopholes to attack through. Right now, the IT Department is unable to resolve the virus that caused our firewall to malfunction and in addition, there is a group of hackers attacking our company. What should we do now?"

"Then organize a group of people to find the virus and another group to resist the hackers." While Lu Zhiheng said that, he thought deep down to himself, "It seems like the Department Head of the IT Department should be changed."

It's obvious that he was one of Lu Jingye's men and it would be a hidden danger if he kept him around.

The IT Department Head did not expect Lu Zhiheng to say that and he became angry out of anxiety. "President Lu, if the hackers were to breach into our database and reveal the confidential documents, our losses will be unimaginable!"

Lu Zhiheng could not possibly let this matter be. He followed the IT Department Head to the IT Department.

The moment the data for one of the large projects they had was leaked out, Lu Zhiheng finally started to feel anxious.

When the second project was leaked out, Lu Zhiheng hastily called Lu Jingye with the intention to scold him and get him to stop. However, he did not expect that he could not get through to his phone at all.

​​Lu Zhiheng was so angry that he immediately called Patriarch Lu to tattle on him.

"Grandfather, in order to prevent me from taking over the Lu Group successfully, Lu Jingye has egged on his subordinates to leak out the confidential information of projects one after another. These two projects combined together are worth at least tens of billions!"

The more Lu Zhiheng spoke, the angrier he got and he was even gasping for air by the time he finished what he had to say.

It was tens of billions for goodness sake! He never even dared to imagine such a huge sum of money in the past.

Patriarch Lu was also angry and he immediately called for Lu Jianlin while he sternly scolded him, "This is the son you've educated! Will he only be satisfied if he causes the Lu Group to go bankrupt?!"

Lu Jianlin was already aware of the whole story and at the thought of his wife's threatening phone call in the morning, he furrowed his brow and said, "Father, Jingye is still lying in the hospital bed and Lingluo went to visit him today. She said that his injuries are very severe and he is in a semi-conscious state. He could not possibly have done this.

Moreover, you are well aware of what kind of person Jingye is. He would never have done something so irrational."

In fact, Patriarch Lu knew what kind of person ​​Lu Jingye was. However, he was currently angered by this grandson of his and so, he would find fault in anything related to him.

"Hmph!" Patriarch Lu maintained a fierce expression and said, "It better not be him."

Lu Jianlin loosened his expression and did not say anything else.

Patriarch Lu looked at him and warned him. "Since he chose to leave the Lu Family, he's no longer the Second Young Master. Our Lu Family will not be giving him any convenience. This is the road he chose and he has to be responsible for his actions."

Lu Jianlin nodded his head. "I understand, Father."

...

By the time Zi Yi walked out from the secluded corner, dozens of minutes had passed.

It was currently time for class and she took out two circular balls from her backpack. After throwing them on the ground, the two circular balls expanded and transformed into a skateboard. She stepped on it and skated towards the School of Liberal Arts.

However, she did not manage to travel far before a male student suddenly blocked her way.

Seeing that she was about to crash into him, Zi Yi turned her body and went around him before she stopped.

The person was also shocked. When he realized that the other party was Zi Yi, he instantly blushed.

"Zi... Student Zi."

"Student, please check if there are any people or cars in the future before you cross the road."

After she said that, she was about to leave.

However, the male student called out to her and with an odd expression, he asked, "Student Zi, why did you snatch Murong You's slot?"

Zi Yi looked at him with a puzzled expression. "What slot?"

The male student furrowed his eyebrows. "Some people had already mentioned previously that the campus belle, Murong You, would be attending the Global Economic Forum as an interpreter. The school forum is in chaos right now and there are many people claiming that you snatched her slot."

Zi Yi took out her phone and entered the school forum. Sure enough, there were many people talking about it and they had also come up with vivid descriptions.

She had been described as a heinous scheming b*tch.

"Zi Yi is too shameless. Just because she saved the students from the School of Science and Technology, does she think she can blatantly steal the spot of the campus belle, Murong You?"

"I think arrogance has gotten into her head. She only won a painting competition and she's thinking of competing with Murong You?"

"How does someone like her have the right to compete with Murong You over the position of the campus belle? In my opinion, other than that face of hers, she can't compare with Murong You."

"Who says Zi Yi can't compare to her? She has good grades and her appearance is the best in our school. Murong You's support group is so disgusting to be slandering someone else at this crucial point in time."

"That's right."

...

The school forum was soon divided into two factions. One faction stood on ​​Zi Yi's side and the other supported Murong You.

Zi Yi casually did a check and managed to find the person who released the news.

Sure enough, it was a member of Murong You's support group.

This person was obviously a computer science student. He had posted anonymously at an off-campus internet cafe.

Upon checking, Zi Yi revealed a sneer.

The male student standing before her thought that she was angry and he earnestly persuaded her. "Student Zi, you are a very outstanding individual, but since the slot has already been decided on, you can always compete the next time. Your actions this time are wrong."

Zi Yi narrowed her eyes and looked at him as she asked, "Who says that the slot has been decided on? Who makes the decision?"

"The slot... hadn't it already been decided on long ago?" The male student was stunned by her question.

Zi Yi quickly typed out a short message on her phone with a taut expression.

[Murong You, if you think you are better than others, you should show it openly. What's the use of using your admirer to play some underhanded games?]

[At noon today, in the third canteen. Do you dare to have a competition with me in front of everyone?]

Zi Yi directly tagged Murong You after she finished typing.. As soon as the two messages were sent out, the school forum exploded.
