Chapter 298 - Lu Zhiheng
Chapter 298: Lu Zhiheng
“Again?” Zi Yi asked with a wooden expression. “What did you do to him again?” When she mentioned the word again, she emphasized it.
Little Loli blushed and said, “I only sent him several films for him to look at and he blocked me.”
Zi Yi asked in suspicion. “What films did you send to him?”
“Love action films.” Little Loli covered her face and acted embarrassed.
However, the corner of Zi Yi’s lips twitched. “A has a management system installed and yet, you sent him those types of films? When it reaches him, it will be treated as a virus and discarded.
Little Loli lowered her hands and pressed the chest area. “What? But I had carefully selected those films…”
Zi Yi: “…”
She suddenly began to wonder if it was the correct decision to install a human emotional system on Little Loli.
The AI robots in the interstellar era were normal but why did it turn out like this when it was on ancient Earth?
Just as Zi Yi was lost in thought, the manager robot came and informed her. “Master, there’s a gentleman looking for you outside.”
Zi Yi brought up the surveillance. The man standing outside the door had some similarities with Lu Jingye.
She knew that he was Ah Jing’s elder cousin, Lu Zhiheng.
He definitely had a purpose for suddenly coming over to look for her.
Zi Yi thought for a moment and said to the manager robot, “Bring him inside.”
“Hello, Boss Zi.” Lu Zhiheng walked towards Zi Yi in a polite manner.
Zi Yi pointed to the high stool beside her. “Take a seat.”
Lu Zhiheng sat down.
Zi Yi asked, “What would you like to drink?”
“A cup of mineral water would do.”
The robot assigned to the bar had soon delivered a cup of mineral water. Lu Zhiheng could not help but be amazed deep down, but he did not reveal the slightest reaction on his face. He started to introduce himself. “I am Jingye’s older brother, Lu Zhiheng.”
Zi Yi looked at him.
Lu Zhiheng was constantly monitoring Zi Yi’s expression. When he did not see any traces of surprise, he assumed that Lu Jingye had previously mentioned him to her. The corner of his lips curled up and he continued to speak.
“My brother is a workaholic and in the past, my Second Aunt was particularly worried that he would remain single. I didn’t expect he would suddenly fall in love with Miss Zi… However, due to Miss Zi’s previous reputation, my Grandfather doesn’t quite approve of your relationship.”
Zi Yi narrowed her eyes.
“Miss Zi, you don’t have to worry. I didn’t come here with any other intentions. As his older cousin, I do not have the right to intervene in your relationship.”
Zi Yi looked at him for several seconds and said, “You can be upfront with the reason for your visit.”
“Actually, I came here today mainly to remind you that for a large family like us, especially the older generation, we attach great importance to our reputation and background.”
Zi Yi did not believe he would be so kind hearted. She impatiently knocked on the bar table and asked, “So you’re trying to say that not only will Elder Lu oppose our relationship, he would also arrange a marriage partner for Ah Jing?”
Lu Zhiheng neither agreed nor disagreed. His eyes looked at the cup of water before him, as if thinking of how to bring this up to her. However, he was counting the seconds in his heart. In his opinion, the best way to make a person anxious would be to give them time to entertain foolish ideas.
Zi Yi clicked her tongue and thought. They were clearly cousins, but Ah Jing excludes a warm and steady temperament from inside out. This man is obviously ambitious, but he pretends to be gentle which honestly makes him hard to like.
Since Lu Zhiheng did not speak, neither did she.
As expected, Lu Zhiheng spoke up after a period of time. “Miss Zi is very talented in robotics and advanced technology. My Grandfather is appreciative of talented people. If Miss Zi wishes to receive my grandfather’s approval, I have a suggestion for you.”
“Oh? What advice do you have?”
“Miss Zi, you can sell the automobile flying technology and high-end robot technology to the Lu Group.”
Zi Yi suddenly laughed at his words. She motioned for the bartender robot. “Prepare a glass of alcohol for Mr. Lu.”
Lu Zhiheng was elated.
He felt that Zi Yi must have accepted his proposal and thus, invited him for a drink.
After Zi Yi’s bartending robot finished preparing a drink and placed it before Lu Zhiheng, she said to him seriously, “If obtaining these two technologies is your grandfather’s intention, then please tell him that these are my dowry. Unless Lu Jingye marries me, there’s no room for discussion.”
If… this is your intention, then I can only say, in your dreams. Lu Zhiheng’s hand that reached out the glass had paused. He turned to Zi Yi and several emotions flashed through his eyes.
“It seems like Mss Zi does not understand my Grandfather’s temper. I came here today to give you a kind reminder. Miss Zi doesn’t need to make a decision so quickly.”
He took out a business card from his pocket and placed it before her. “My Second Uncle’s family moved out of the Lu Family’s main residence and my mother has been taking care of Grandfather all these years. As long as my mother puts in a good word for Miss Zi, it would prove to be much more effective than having Jingye stand against Grandfather.
I believe Miss Zi does not wish to see my Grandfather and Jingye be against each other.
Miss Zi, you can think about this for a few days. It’s not too late to give me a call after having thought about it.”
Having said that, he stood up and walked out of the bar.
After he left, Lu Zhiheng suddenly stopped and turned to look at the bar. A trace of determination flashed past his eyes.
Within the bar.
The moment Lu Zhiheng left, Little Loli came and sat next to Zi Yi.
“Master, was that man threatening you earlier?”
“Yes.”
Zi Yi picked up the business car with two fingers and threw it away casually. An AI trash can quickly flew to catch it.
The corner of her lips curled up. She fiddled around with her phone for a while and sent Lu Jingye a message.
She planned to check on Lu Jingye’s attitude before she proceeded on her next step.
Zi Yi: If your family opposes our relationship, would you be angry if I did something?
Lu Jingye’s reply came soon after: I will solve this matter before you do anything. You won’t have the chance to take action.
Zi Yi smiled after she read his message.
She stood up and said to Little Loli, “I’ll be reporting to M.Uni in a few days time and I won’t be coming here after that.
Little Loli looked at her with an envious expression. “Master, I also want to attend a school.”
Zi Yi teased her. “What for? To be studied?”
Little Loli shut up and stopped talking.
…
As expected, <Futuristic Bar> was a full house again tonight. In the end, there were many who had been stopped outside.
As for those who specially made a trip down to the bar with a curious mindset, all of them had been thoroughly conquered by the advanced technology.
Lu Jingye came to pick up Zi Yi at nine in the evening.
