Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Elder Dou was clearly satisfied with Lu Jingye’s answer. He nodded his head and continued to ask, “The both of you are staying together right now, and it’s not good for Zi Yi’s reputation. Have you ever thought of how to deal with it?”
The aning behind Elder Dou’s words was very obvious.
Either they were to live separately or they had to get married.
Lu Jingye looked at Zi Yi.
Zi Yi pulled Elder Dou’s hand and said, “Grandfather, Ah Jing and I are going to get married. I was the one who made him stay at my place.”
Elder Dou looked at her and raised his hand to pat her head.
Zi Yi giggled and said, “To be honest, my idea is that Ah Jing and I will get our marriage certificate first. After a period of ti when we select a date, we can hold the wedding.”
“Little Lu still has plenty of troubles left unresolved. If you were to get married to him, those troubles will naturally fall on you too.”
“Even if I don’t get married to him, those troubles have also co looking for ,” Zi Yi said, “I’m not afraid of trouble. What’s more, Ah Jing is also capable of protecting well.”
She looked at Lu Jingye and winked at him naughtily.
Lu Jingye felt his heart warming up and he assured Elder Dou. “No matter what type of circumstances, I will protect Yiyi even at the cost of my life.”
“Who dares to take your life!” Zi Yi was unhappy with that. “With around, I’d like to see them try!”
The originally serious atmosphere was suddenly interrupted due to Zi Yi’s words.
Just then, the sound of footsteps could be heard from the door.
Following that, they saw Dou Zhiyuan walking in from outside.
“Father, I’m back.”
Dou Zhiyuan greeted Elder Dou and looked towards Zi Yi and Lu Jingye.
“Third Uncle.”
“Professor Yuan.”
Dou Zhiyuan nodded in their direction and said, “Zi Xuan’s corpse has been cremated. The ashes are currently in a funeral ho.”
Elder Dou asked, “When is Zi Xu returning to the capital?”
Lu Jingye responded. “The day after tomorrow.”
He had a firm grasp of Zi Xu’s movents.
Elder Dou said, “In that case, have soone send the urn to S City tomorrow.”
He did not wish to et that man again.
Zi Yi thought for a mont and said, “I’ll bring the urn back to S City tomorrow. I’ll also be staying there for so ti.”
How could Elder Dou possibly let her stay together with Zi Xu? The child had finally figured things out and started to study. What if Zi Xu were to play the family card and infuse bad thoughts in her mind again?
Elder Dou thought for a mont and asked Dou Jingning and Dou Zhiyuan, “Among the four of you brothers, who has the most spare ti on their hands recently?”
Dou Jingning and Dou Zhiyuan knew of their Father’s train of thoughts.
Dou Jingning said, “I’ll head over to S City with Zi Yi.”
Zi Yi looked at Dou Jingning and had the intention to reject his offer. However, Lu Jingye took the initiative and said, “I am in agreent with this arrangent. With Professor Ning there, at least Zi Yi’s Father would restrain himself slightly.”
Zi Yi tilted her head and looked in his direction.
Lu Jingye gave her a look.
Zi Yi thought for a mont and said, “Grandfather, Eldest Uncle, Third Uncle, I’ve got a question I’ve always been wanting to ask.”
“What’s the question?”
“Go ahead and ask.”
“My father is such a snob, why did you agree for him to marry my mother back then?”
Her words caused traces of regret to flash past their faces.
In the end, Dou Jingning sighed. Under the curious gazes of the youngsters before him, he mumbled, “Back then, Zi Xu was also considered a reputable person in M.Uni. He was very smart and not only did he achieve good academic grades, he had also participated in many different activities. Other than this, he had also started earning money with his own hard work while studying.”
As a campus beau who had possessed a high IQ and EQ, it was not difficult for him to coax a girl into falling hard for him.
At that ti, he had only revealed great ambition in academics and always strived to be first in everything. Teachers also liked students who studied well and were motivated.
Therefore, the Dou Family mbers were considered satisfied with his performance back then.
“Most importantly, Zi Xu treated Yuanyuan really well at that ti. It was to the extent we could not find any reason to oppose them from dating each other. However, how could we have imagined that he was so shrewd? Yuanyuan married him as soon as she graduated and Zi Xu had just started his own company at that ti. Due to Yuanyuan’s sake, we had introduced plenty of businesses to him.
In less than two years, his business grew bigger, but he started to get restless. He constantly did underhanded things and even used the Dou Family’s na to get businesses. For the sake of Yuanyuan, we rely warned him verbally.
However, he began to get opportunistic and the company finally got into trouble.
It just so happened that Yuanyuan had given birth to you during that period and her health had declined.”
So won’s bodies were just like that. They would usually appear to be fine, but once they had a baby, it would be equivalent to taking away half of their vitality.
Dou Yuanyuan’s condition was like this and her health continued to deteriorate. Moreover, sothing big happened to Zi Xu’s company and he did not wish to sit behind bars nor did he wish for the company he started from scratch to go bankrupt. In the end, he got Dou Yuanyuan to co looking for the Dou Family.
When the Dou Family knew of what had happened, they were enraged.
However, Dou Yuanyuan carried the child in her arms and knelt down to ask for their help. Therefore, no matter how angry they were, they could only help to resolve the problem.
“We originally thought that after that incident, Zi Xu would learn from his lesson. He did indeed remain quiet for several months. What made us unable to accept it was that Yuanyuan did not manage to hang on and passed away when you were half a year old.”
Speaking of this, Dou Jingning suddenly covered his face.
Dou Yuanyuan was their only sister and they had been cherishing her carefully but in the end, her life had ended due to a man. Who could possibly accept this?
Moreover, when Zi Yi was two years old, Zi Xu brought back Li Peirong and her child that was already one year old.
At that ti, the Dou Family mbers were so angry that they wished that they could give him a beating. They also had thoughts of bringing Zi Yi back to the Dou Family, so they could raise her themselves.
In order to prevent them from bringing Zi Yi away, he knelt before Elder Dou and made various confessions of regret and guarantee.
In addition, Zi Yi was very young then. After Dou Yuanyuan left, Zi Xu and Li Peirong were the ones taking care of her. As a result, Zi Yi was rather attached to them and in the end, Elder Dou could not bear to separate them.
However, never could they have imagined that due to that decision of theirs, it caused Zi Xu to bring up Zi Yi wrongly and even grasp the weakness of the Dou Family.
By the ti the Dou Family realized it, it was already too late.
They had also forcefully brought Zi Yi back and educated her for half a year. However, Zi Yi was rather disobedient and Zi Xu would often secretly keep in touch with her father and stepmother.
In the end, he even got Zi Yi to steal her grandfather’s seal. The truth would eventually co to light sooner or later and ultimately, sothing happened once again.
After Dou Jingning finished the story, Dou Xiangling’s face turned red from anger.
Zi Yi remained silent for so ti and comnted. “Zi Yi was really an idiot in the past.”
The Dou Family mbers looked at her with a surprised gaze.
Only Lu Jingye said, “It’s fine as long as you are smart now.”
Zi Yi slightly raised her chin and revealed a proud expression. “Naturally.”
The atmosphere suddenly loosened up due to her arrogant and yet adorable expression.
Zi Yi and Lu Jingye stayed at the Dou Family’s place until 11 p.m before they left.
On the sa day, the Qin Family had held a dinner banquet.
During the banquet, a few family heads had gathered at the Qin Family Head’s study room.
They had a secret discussion for nearly three hours.
As to what they had discussed, only they themselves knew of it.
Early the next morning, Zi Yi, Lu Jingye, and Dou Jingning t and brought along Zi Xuan’s urn to S City.
Along the way, when Zi Yi and Lu Jingye entered the rest area, they got the robot Zi Yi had prepared to disguise as the both of them to continue tagging along with Dou Jingning to S City, while they secretly headed to the secret base.
