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 extrely solemn as if he was about to pick up his gun the very next second and shoot soone to death.
At that mont, 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 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 so ti, “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 ca from and the Lu Family can only bear the bla.”
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 seed to have said sothing 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?”
…
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 sa ti, she received a ssage on her phone.
Lu Jingye: Yiyi, co to the living room. I will use my identity to let you et 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 sothing 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 ans 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 mbers looked towards her.
The mont Patriarch Lu saw her, it was as if he had seen his enemy. He imdiately 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 t 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 seed to be frozen and no one dared to speak.
The First Madam and Lu Zhiheng looked at each other and there were the sa emotions of wanting to sche 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 sa ti, 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 mber 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 rely treats him as a money-earning tool and now that he finally has soone he fancies, you’re still standing in the way. Lu Jianlin, let 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 ti to ntion 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.”
