Chapter 548: Some Matters Are Best Kept to Yourself. There’s No Need to Say It Aloud

Not long later, several cars drove over.
The Engineers and Chemistry Professors had come to the hotel in the cars provided by their labs and so returned from the hotel in them. Everyone else bade farewell and got into their respective cars.
Dou Xiaoyong did not leave with them. He was planning to take Lu Jingye’s car.
Lu Jingye was currently speaking to the three higher-ups and they clearly felt regret that he had left the Lu Group. At the same time, they knew that it was a result of Patriarch Lu’s tyranny. Even though they did not say it directly, their words were implying that they hoped Lu Jingye would venture out
alone.
Mr. Zheng said, “With Little Lu’s capabilities, it’s not difficult to create another Lu Group. We are used to working with you and it’s simply not the same when working with someone else.”
Lu Jingye did not give them any promises. He merely tactfully said that he only has plans to expand his mother’s Song Jewelry company.
Dou Xiaoyong suddenly laughed and said to Zi Yi, “l am suddenly no longer worried about Little Lu. This child is very assertive and he has his plans.”
Zi Yi’s eyes curved into crescent moons upon hearing Dou Xiaoyong’s praise for Lu Jingye.
Lu Jingye continued chatting with the three higher-ups for a short while before he bade them farewell and got in the car together with Zi Yi.
Before their car drove away, Mr. Qin said to Zi Yi, “Little Zi, if you are busy during this period of time, there’s no need to visit the R&D center for the time being.”
Zi Yi nodded her head. “Okay.”
After giving their goodbyes, their car drove out.
When the car was some distance away, Dou Xiaoyong finally asked, “Little Lu, why were you in the suburbs today? Moreover, not to mention you just so happened to be near the accident site?”
Dou Xiaoyong was not doubting him, he was just merely surprised. It was snowing so heavily today and supposedly Lu Jingye should not have come out if there was nothing on.
Zi Yi also looked at him curiously.
Lu Jingye said, “A batch of wedding materials I purchased just so happened to have passed through that road. Before the accident occurred, the truck driver called and informed me that it was difficult for cars to drive through. He asked for me to send someone to meet him to collect the goods. Therefore, I
personally went to collect it.”
Since it was materials used for their wedding, he would certainly attach great importance to them.
“So that’s the case. I didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence.”
Dou Xiaoyong praised him. “Little Lu has done well. With your small act of kindness and Little Zi’s skills, the both of you had easily invited three higher-ups to the wedding. No one would dare to mess around during the reception now.”
Didn’t Patriarch Lu think that Lu Jingye was nothing without the Lu Family as his backing?
‘When the time comes and the three higher-ups attend the wedding, they’d like to see if he would still be able to hold up the pride he cared so much about.
At the thought of that, Dou Xiaoyong was suddenly in a good mood.
His gaze towards Lu Jingye had also turned amicable. “Your actions were right. Even if we can’t change your Grandfather’s thoughts, you shouldn’t let yourself suffer either.”
Lu Jingye nodded and titled his head to look at Zi Yi.
She simply stretched out her hand to grab his hand.
Lu Jingye covered his hand over hers.
Dou Xiaoyong saw their small actions and smiled as he turned his head to look outside.
They sent Dou Xiaoyong back to the Dou Family residence first.
It was around 9 p.m at that time and Dou Xiaoyong said to the two of them, “Why don’t you two stay here tonight?”
Zi Yi shook her head. “Mom is alone at home and she would be worried if we don’t go home.”
Dou Xiaoyong did not continue to hold them back.
Not long after the car drove out of the Dou Family residence, they were met with another incoming car. Dou Xiangling and Zhang Hanyu were seated inside.
Zi Yi quickly got the driver to park the car to the side of the road.
The opposite car had also stopped next to them.
Zi Yi rolled down the windows and lay on the window frame as she asked, “Cousin, why have you come back so late?”
Zhang Hanyu was driving the car and Dou Xiangling sat in the passenger’s seat.
Dou Xiangling rolled down the windows and said, “I suddenly had a surge of inspiration today and completed the design for our art gallery. I didn’t expect it to end so late.”
Her voice contained traces of surprise. “Yiyi, why are you and Little Lu here?”
Zi Yi glanced at Zhang Hanyu.
When Zhang Hanyu sensed her gaze in his direction, he smiled and returned her gaze with a nod.
Zi Yi explained to Dou Xiangling. “We sent Second Uncle back.”
Dou Xiangling replied with an ‘oh’ and quickly urged her. “It’s cold tonight, you should go back soon!”
“Okay.”
The windows of both cars rolled up at the same time and they drove away in different directions.
When their car drove out of the neighborhood, Zi Yi suddenly said, “Ah Jing, I want to wait.”
She suddenly wanted to see where Zhang Hanyu would be heading to.
Lu Jingye did not ask her for the reason and got the driver to stop the car.
Zi Yi said, “Park somewhere further away. It is best if you park somewhere where the cars passing by won’t be able to see our car.”
‘The driver then drove the car to a concealed corner and stopped.
Lu Jingye guessed what she wanted to do. “If you still don’t trust him, I’ll send two men to watch over him.”
Zi Yi shook her head. “I can feel that Zhang Hanyu really likes my cousin, but I often feel that he is unworthy of her. However, I can’t possibly say that to my cousin, so I just want to see what he will be doing next.”
Zi Yi had never been one that cared about family statuses, but the feeling Zhang Hanyu gave her was extremely complicated and she had no choice but to be wary of him.
“sent an invisible robot to protect my cousin and I’m not exactly worried that he would really do anything to her.”
Dou Xiangling was from a scholarly family and she cherished herself very much. She would not mess around with Zhang Hanyu before their marriage and Zi Yi was at ease about that.
Lu Jingye looked at Zi Yi who revealed a struggling expression. He knew that she had such feelings precisely because she cared about Dou Xiangling very much. “Since you wish to follow him, we might as well change cars.”
Zi Yi tumed her head in his direction.
Lu Jingye took out his phone and dialed a number. After the other party answered the phone, he said, “I’m near the neighborhood of your place and my car broke down. Can you lend me your car?”
Zi Yi looked at Lu Jingye, who hung up the phone, with a burning gaze.
Lu Jingye said, “It just so happens that one of my schoolmates lives here. He’s teaching in M.Uni’s School of Finance.
Before long, they saw a car driving out of the neighborhood.
Lu Jingye’s phone started to ring.
He answered the call and said to the other party, “Drive to your left.”
Lu Jingye and Zi Yi alighted from their car after the car came closer.
A wave of cold air assaulted them and just as Zi Yi shrunk her neck, she was wrapped in Lu Jingye’s coat.
The two of them walked side by side towards the car.
The other party alighted at the same time. He was a tall, slender and intellectual young man, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.
The man looked at them with a taut expression. He pushed his glasses up his nose and handed the key to Lu Jingye before he briefly said, “Just make sure to drive the car to school tomorrow.”
Lu Jingye took the keys and the other party turned to leave.
Zi Yi looked at the man who did not even bother to greet them and said to Lu Jingye, “Ah Jing, we must have disturbed his good time.”
Her words caused the young man, who had not walked far, to slightly trip.
Lu Jingye lowered his head and looked at the young lady wrapped in his coat where only her head was exposed. His hand that was placed on her waist gave a slight squeeze.
Zi Yi blinked her pair of beautiful eyes at him and revealed an innocent expression. “Did I say anything wrong?”
Lu Jingye said, “Some matters are best kept to yourself. There’s no need to say it aloud.”
The young man: ”
