Chapter 339 - You Contributed the Most Last Night, So Why Aren’t You Tired?”

At 2 a.m in the morning, a piece of huge sensational news broke out that was related to the Zhou Family.

The Zhou Family head suddenly fell into a critical condition and the Zhou Group was taken over by the First House and yet, no one from the other houses stood out to protest.

Over the internet, N sorts of drama plots were imagined out of thin air. Everyone knew that there was definitely something fishy behind the scenes. There were many who decided not to sleep just to wait to see the follow-up story of the Zhou Family.

Next day in the morning, 6 a.m.

As expected, another great change happened within the Zhou Family.

Informed sources had exposed that the funds in the Zhou Group’s accounts had turned to zero overnight.

Shortly after, all the companies that collaborated with them had stepped forward to demand a refund.

Even the judiciary personnel were alarmed.

The Zhou Family instantly fell into chaos.

At 7 a.m, Zi Yi, who originally said she would return to the villa, but had not done so, was walking down the staircase while rubbing her eyes. Lu Jingye who was following from behind had simply grabbed her hand and revealed a concerned expression. “Stop rubbing your eyes. Take some eye drops later.”

Zi Yi turned around and smiled at him. “You contributed the most last night, so why aren’t you tired?”

Zi Yi was only responsible for the matters over the net. As Lu Jingye could not bear to see her suffer, he had directly taken over the job of wiping the Zhou Group clean.

Lu Jingye looked at the young lady who was blinking at him and raised his hand to gently pinch her tender and soft cheeks before he said, “I’m used to staying up late, whereas you’re still growing.”

Zi Yi acted cutely and said, “How am I still growing? Could it be that you think my body still needs to grow?”

After she said that, she even deliberately pounced into his embrace for him to feel whether her body still needed to grow.

Lu Jingye felt as if someone had plucked his heartstrings. He suddenly glanced at the two brothers waiting downstairs and tried his best to keep a straight face. “Don’t be naughty.”

The Zhou Family brothers who were sitting downstairs and looking at them expectantly: “…”

Hearing and spectating such flirting early in the morning was seriously a bad start for the day.

Only then did Zi Yi notice the two of them sitting downstairs and said unhappily, “What are you doing here so early in the morning?”

The two brothers: “…”

Zhou Shijin took a deep breath and said, “Thanks for all that you have done for us last night.”

“No need for the thanks.” Zi Yi was very direct. “You just have to remember what you promised me.”

Zhou Shijin seemed as if he wanted to say something else, but his lips opened and closed.

A few seconds later, he said, “Alright. I will go and take care of the remaining matters. After I’m done with them, I’ll come to look for you to report to work.”

Zi Yi nodded in satisfaction.

Zhou Shijin headed towards the door and Zhou Shiyu followed suit.

Just then, Zi Yi spoke up. “Since you’re going to resolve the matters related to the Zhou Family, you’re penniless right now. Can you even enter the gates?”

The two brothers suddenly stopped walking.

Zi Yi took out a credit card from her person and another circular ball. She changed the ball into a remote control plane and placed the card on it before the plane flew towards Zhou Shijin.

“There’s 500 million in the card. It’s enough for you to hire bodyguards and take care of those people. The password is 222222. As for the assets of your Zhou Family, I will have it transferred into your account after you take care of your matters.”

Zhou Shijin took the card and left with Zhou Shiyu.

Zi Yi looked at the two departing backs and turned to look at Lu Jingye standing behind her. She puffed out her cheeks and said, “I originally planned to go catch up on the sleep that I lost last night.”

In that case, she would be able to trick him into her room.

Lu Jingye looked at the young lady’s puffed-up cheeks and how could he not have guessed her inner thoughts? He deliberately diverted the topic. “Aren’t you going to attend the opening ceremony of M.Uni? Go and have your breakfast first.”

Following that, he held her hands and headed downstairs.

While they walked, Zi Yi said, “Not only is there an opening ceremony, there are also orientation activities in the evening and the school requires me to attend.”

Lu Jingye tilted his head and looked at her while his eyes contained a smile. “Do you have a program for the evening orientation?”

“Nope, I’m just responsible for watching.”

Zi Yi then smiled and asked him, “Will you be coming in the evening?”

With the orientation ceremony and national day coinciding, the school had invited many celebrities and upstarts who graduated from M.Uni. The scene at that time would certainly be very lively.

Lu Jingye did not have time available today and so, he said, “I’ll come to pick you up nearing the end of the party.”

Zi Yi nodded her head in response.

The two of them ate breakfast and Lu Jingye headed to the company.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The opening ceremony for the freshmen was held at 9:30 a.m. It was still early right now and Zi Yi planned to head to the School of Fine Arts first to visit Dou Xiangling.

The M.Uni was extremely lively today and there were all kinds of welcoming banners along with new year’s banners.

Zi Yi’s car drove into M.Uni. Along the way, there were many freshmen and everyone was gathered in groups of three and five as they walked and chatted with each other.

Zi Yi’s car entered the school grounds and immediately attracted a group of envious gazes.

A woman pointed towards the racing car and said to the female student beside her, “What a beautiful racing car. I wonder how much it costs.”

The other female student’s eyes were also filled with envy. “From the looks of it, it seems like a car driven by a rich second-generation young master or young lady.”

Hua Xiaoli, who was walking on the other side, pointed at the car that drove past and said to Zi Xuan, “Zi Xuan, I recall that Zi Yi was also fond of driving racing cars. Say, could that car be…”

“What are you trying to say?” Zi Xuan looked at her in displeasure. “There are many people who know how to drive a racing car.”

She did not even wish to hear of the name Zi Yi, but Hua Xiaoli seemed as if she liked to strike up a discordant tune with her. The moment they met, she would always bring up Zi Yi. In the end, she decided to separate from her. “I still have something to do at the Teacher’s Building. You should go ahead to the auditorium first.”

“Sigh…”

Zi Xuan did not even wish to talk to her and she immediately left.

Hua Xiaoli looked at Zi Xuan’s departing back and clicked her tongue. “You should just admit that she’s here. I would like to see how you can argue your way out, after you personally see Zi Yi here.”

If not for the fact that Zi Xuan had such a nice apartment, which she hoped that she could move into and live with her there, Hua Xiaoli actually hated people like Zi Xuan who pretended to be lofty. “Tsk, to think that you look down on Zi Yi. From my point of view, there’s no difference between the two of you. Just because your family is rich, do you think you’re all that great?”

After Hua Xiaoli said her piece, she turned around and left.

When Zi Yi was on the way to the School of Fine Arts, she gave Dou Xiangling a call.

Just as she arrived at the building, Dou Xiangling had come out from there.

Dou Xiangling was wearing a formal suit today and her hair was simply shining under the bright sun, making her look intellectual, generous, and beautiful.

“Cousin.”

Dou Xiangling greeted her with a smile and asked, “Yiyi, you’re just in time. Let me tell you about the timing of your departure.”

The competition would happen on the 3rd and their flight would be 12:30 p.m tomorrow.

After they finished the discussion, Zi Yi suddenly asked, “How’s it going with Teacher Zhang?”

Dou Xiangling did not expect Zi Yi to ask that question. A complicated look appeared between her brows and she said, “He’s still in the hospital.”

Zi Yi looked towards her and did not wish to see such a complicated expression on her face. “Cousin, if you don’t like Teacher Zhang, you can tell him outright. You shouldn’t feel wronged just because he saved you.”

Dou Xiangling was momentarily surprised before she laughed. “What’s a young lady like you thinking about? I will settle this matter, don’t let your mind wander.”
