Chapter 257: Who Do You Want to Fall In Love With?
The following days, Zi Yi had been cooped up at the racing club.
She had been renovating all the facilities while supervising Zhou Shijin’s training.
He could be considered as someone with resolve.
The training plan she created for him was considered strict enough and unexpectedly, he still insisted on driving her modified racing car once a day.
She glanced at Zhou Shijin who had a pale complexion as he got off. “You’re still too weak.”
Zhou Shijin calmed down his heartbeat and responded. “I will continue to work hard.”
Zi Yi nodded and turned with the intention to leave.
Zhou Shijin suddenly said, “I wish to take half a day off the day after tomorrow.”
She turned around to look at him.
He lowered his eyes and said, “I have to attend a birthday party the day after tomorrow.”
Zi Yi immediately guessed whose birthday party it was and nodded. “Okay.”
Having said that, she left.
On the other side, the Dongfang Family.
Inside the study room.
With a furious expression, the Third Elder said to the Patriarch, “Brother, Yaoyao’s situation has worsened. If this continues on, she will be ruined for her whole life.”
The Patriarch’s expression was also ugly. He glared at him and said, “If it weren’t for her idiotic actions, would such an incident have happened?”
After investigation, he discovered that Dongfang Yao had ended up in her current plight all because she wanted to ruin the woman who was close to Lu Jingye.
Not only was she close with Lu Jingye, she was also Elder Dou’s granddaughter.
He had personally inquired of the several bodyguards following her around for the specifics. As for what happened to Dongfang Yao, none of his men managed to find anything.
“Who has such capabilities to have destroyed all the surveillance on that floor?”
It was not only that particular floor. Instead, they could not locate Zi Yi’s movements throughout the entire building.
“Why were we unable to locate her movements? She had clearly entered the building!” The Third Elder had lost control of his emotions.
The Patriarch’s expression wasn’t any better. “Do you know who else was inside the building that day? Dou Xiaoyong also just happened to be meeting with a few foreign mechanical engineers.”
The moment the Third Elder heard that he furrowed his brows. “Could it be Dou Xiaoyong?”
“He doesn’t have the capability.” The Patriarch impatiently tapped on the desk. His expression turned for the worst. “If my guess is right, the culprit is Lu Jingye.”
“Him?!” The Third Elder widened his eyes in surprise. “Why did he do this?”
After he said that, his expression suddenly became ashen. “Could it be that he has truly fallen for that woman?”
The Dongfang Patriarch’s expression had also become unsightly.
He glanced at the Third Elder coldly. “What a good daughter you’ve educated. Why did she have to provoke him?”
The Third Elder paced back and forth restlessly. “How could I have known Yaoyao would do such a thing! In any case, I can’t take this lying down. Since they dared to bully my Yaoyao, I will definitely make her pay a hundredfold!”
“You better calm down,” the Patriarch shouted. “Lu Jingye has Lu Jianlin behind him. What do you possibly think you can do to him?”
“I can’t do anything to him? Well, I can do something to that woman then!”
The Patriarch nearly lost control and tried to hit the Third Elder with a pen holder. “Are you an idiot? That woman is off limits for the time being.”
“Why?” The Third Elder was so angry to the extent that he was about to lose all reason.
A sharp glint streaked past his eyes. “Get someone to spread the news of Lu Jingye liking that woman to Elder Lu. He would never let the grandson he’s most proud of fancy someone like her.”
“People from Alpha contacted me yesterday and extended a cooperation suggestion. Immediately send someone to investigate the grudge between the current CEO of Alpha family and Lu Jingye.”
“I understand.”
…
Elder Lu’s birthday party was happening the day after tomorrow and all the young masters and young ladies of the high-society seemed to have disappeared from Sanyue Street.
Without the visit from those rich individuals, several high-end bars were not as crowded as before.
Of course, the decrease in business had nothing to do with Zi Yi.
She was cooped up in the bar today.
The renovations were half completed and she was currently waiting for the arrival of some customized high-end equipment she ordered.
Little Loli stood beside Zi Yi and acted cutely. “Master, I’ve watched plenty of dramas these days and the relationship between Princes and Cinderellas is too romantic. Can you set an emotional system for the robot I fancy?”
Zi Yi’s expression darkened. “Who do you want to fall in love with?”
Little Loli had unexpectedly covered her face in embarrassment. “I want to fall in love with A.”
Zi Yi: “…”
Robot A just so happened to walk past them. He dragged Little Loli away after hearing what she said. “As a robot, you should have the self-awareness of a robot. Why are you even talking about dating? Quick, go and practice dancing.”
Zi Yi: “…”
Zi Yi held her chin and fell into deep thought. “Why did I install a human emotional system on Little Loli on a whim?”
Not before long, a robot standing by the door came over and informed Zi Yi. “Master, someone is knocking at the door.”
Zi Yi took out her phone and connected it to the camera outside. The person knocking was a man holding onto a bunch of roses.
Zi Yi thought for a moment and called for Little Loli. “Go and see who that person is. Don’t expose yourself as a robot.”
Little Loli was currently wearing a maid’s uniform she purchased online and it covered up all the mechanical parts. Most importantly, she was wearing gloves.
She held out her hands for Zi Yi to see. “Master, you can rest assured that no one can see through my real identity.”
After saying that, she headed for the door.
Soon, Little Loli’s affectionate voice could be heard. “Hello~ Why are you holding such a huge bouquet of flowers? Is it for me?”
The man did not expect a little Loli to open the door and he answered with a stutter, “N-no. I’m a staff member from XX flower shop. A customer has placed an order for a bouquet of flowers to be delivered to the boss of this bar.”
“Oh? Who’s the sender?”
“This… I’m not sure either.”
Little Loli was very disappointed. “Since it’s not for me, you can throw it away. My boss will not randomly accept flowers from other people.”
“But…”
Bam!
Little Loli directly shut the door.
Zi Yi subconsciously smiled at the scene.
When Little Loli came back, she said to Zi Yi, “Master, it was a staff member from a flower shop outside. A random person sent you flowers and I rejected it on your behalf.”
Zi Yi nodded and did not take this matter to heart. However, she did not expect the staff from the flower shop to deliver a large bouquet of flowers at intervals of thirty minutes.
Even if it was during the day, such a huge incident had evidently attracted the attention of the bosses and employees from the nearby bars.
