Chapter 261: You’re Not Allowed to Call Him Jingye Oppa

Zi Yi patted Little Loli and said, “Work hard on becoming a green tea b*tch. You might have a promising future.”

“Hehe, that’s what I thought too.”

“However…” Zi Yi’s expression became stern. “You’re not allowed to call him Jingye Oppa.”

Little Loli: “Master, you’re having double standards!”

“You’re right. If you dare to call him Oppa Jingye or Jingye Oppa again, I will reset your system.”

“Wuu..wuuu…”

Zi Yi watched Little Loli acting miserable and coquettish and reflected internally. “Did I miss a bug[1] when I installed the human emotion interface on Little Loli?”

Of course, Robot A who did not have an emotional intelligence system installed had ruthlessly dragged Little Loli back to work.

Zi Yi laughed in response. She stood up and gave Robot A a few orders before she went back home.

Early in the morning the next day, Dou Xiangling came looking for her.

Zi Yi looked at Dou Xiangling who was carrying her painting tools as she followed behind the housekeeper. “Cousin, don’t tell me you intend to paint here?”

Unexpectedly, Dou Xiangling nodded. “Yes. I will be accompanying you today.”

Zi Yi was surprised. “For what? I’m a busy person.”

Dou Xiangling was amused by her stupefied expression.

She suddenly realized that she had over-thought things. She originally thought that Zi Yi would feel disappointed that Lu Jingye had not brought her to attend Elder Lu’s birthday.

Dou Xiangling came over to her and asked, “Yiyi, where were you intending to go today?”

Zi Yi looked at her and said, “I originally planned to make a trip to the bar. Since you’re here, I won’t be going.”

She led her into the living room and asked on the way. “Today is Ah Jing’s grandfather’s birthday. Shouldn’t you be attending?”

Zi Yi glanced at Dou Xiangling after she asked that and immediately guessed the reason why she was here. “What are you thinking? Ah Jing and I are indeed dating, but we haven’t reached the stage of meeting his grandfather.”

Zi Yi knew that based on Lu Jingye’s old-fas.h.i.+oned personality, he would definitely keep their relations.h.i.+p a secret before she reached adulthood.

She did not think there was a problem with this. As long as she liked him and he reciprocated her feelings, she would not care about other people’s feelings.

Seeing that Zi Yi did not seem to be saying anything against her will, she smiled and said, “I guess I over-thought things.”

Zi Yi shook her head with indifference. She looked at her painting tools and said, “Since you want to draw, go ahead. It just so happens that the orchids in the courtyard are blooming nicely recently.”

Dou Xiangling shook her head and said with a serious expression, “I’m not the one painting. I prepared these materials for you to draw.”

Zi Yi: “…”

Dou Xiangling took her hand and looked at her with admiration. “Yiyi, I’ve seen the painting you painted for the Painting and Calligraphy a.s.sociation and I feel that my skills are inferior to yours.”

She then added, “There’s going to be an international painting contest coming up soon. You should sign up too. At that time, the both of us can partic.i.p.ate together.”

Zi Yi: “…”

Finally, Zi Yi had no choice but to agree to it under Dou Xiangling’s soft tactics.

The housekeeper stood there and watched the two who started drawing as he sighed.

“Second Young Master sure has a good eye. Miss Zi is simply multi-talented!”

On this side, Zi Yi had accompanied Dou Xiangling to draw for an entire day.

On the other side, Elder Lu’s birthday had officially kicked off.

With Elder Lu’s status, those who could enter his yard were all his previous subordinates and elders.

As for the other partic.i.p.ants, they were received by the Lu family’s younger generation.

The birthday party was held in the Lu family’s main house.

Within Elder Lu’s courtyard.

Elder Lu had held a high position for numerous years and even if he had retired ages ago, the aura he gave off had not decreased.

A group of people were sitting in front of him as they listened to his lecture.

“As I’ve said before, I don’t require any gifts for my birthday. Are you taking my words for granted? It’s precisely because some of you started this, which caused the others to follow suit.”

The group of old people responded. “Yes, yes, we understand. We will definitely not encourage such a trend to continue.”

Only then was Elder Lu satisfied and started to reminisce about the past.

While they conversed, an old man asked, “Several younger generations in the Lu family have all formed families. I saw that Second Lu [1.Lu Jingye’s father is the second son.] still has two children who are single. Since Yunxiao can’t make it back in time this time around, we can’t do anything. But should we introduce someone to Jingye?”

Before Elder Lu had the chance to speak, another elder unexpectedly answered, “Who says Jingye doesn’t have a girlfriend? I heard from my granddaughter that he’s currently attached. Old Zhou, you shouldn’t go around randomly trying to pair people up.”

“Oh? Jingye is attached?” Elder Zhou looked at Elder Lu and revealed slight disappointment. “If that’s the case, then forget it.”

Elder Lu suddenly felt displeased. The grandson he was the proudest of had actually got himself a girlfriend and it was someone else who informed him about this!?

Just then, that elder sighed and said, “But I heard that his girlfriend’s reputation… sigh… how should I say this? It’s not exactly great.”

The moment he said that, everyone started to discuss in a whisper.

“In my opinion, Jingye does things steadily, so how would he get himself a girlfriend with a bad reputation?”

“That’s right. Jingye is such a good catch and only daughters from families which are well-matched of social status are compatible with him.”

“Perhaps all these are just rumors.”

Everyone was whispering as they carefully observed Elder Lu’s expressions.

Elder Lu lifted his teacup and with an indiscernible expression on his face, he said, “How could I not know if Jingye has a girlfriend or not. You guys must have been too idle to be coming over to gossip at my place.”

The moment he said that, no one dared to continue the discussion anymore.

Just then, Lu Jingye’s voice sounded from outside. “Grandfather, the banquet is about to begin. I’m here to invite you and everyone to come join.”

Elder Lu put down his teacup, stood up, and said, “Let’s go.”

When everyone headed out, they saw Lu Jingye waiting outside.

Lu Jingye was good-looking and capable. In their point of view, he was in fact, the most ideal husband for their granddaughters.

The moment they saw him, they could not help but size him up.

One of the elders said, “Little Lu, today my granddaughter is also here. I wonder if you’ve met her?”

Lu Jingye responded, “The female guests are served by my female cousins and I’m responsible for the male guests.”

The elder was not disappointed in his response. “You young people should exchange more as you would certainly have topics to talk about.”

Before Lu Jingye answered, Elder Lu glanced at the elder but did not comment on anything.

Whereas Lu Jingye merely revealed a gentle smile and did not answer.

The group of elders headed to the hall.

At that moment, everyone was waiting for Elder Lu to make his way over.

Elder Lu was obviously in a good mood today and his usual stern expression had decreased slightly.

He made his way to the middle of the hall and sat down at the chair specially prepared for him. The guests started to offer birthday wishes.

First, it was people from the Lu family and everyone took turns to offer their words of blessing.

When it came to Lu Jingye’s family, the guests were surprised to only see Lu Jianlin, Song Lingluo, and Lu Jingye.

“It’s Elder Lu’s seventieth birthday and Lu Yunxiao didn’t rush back?”

“This doesn’t seem right.”
