Chapter 408 - Lu Jingye, How Dare You Bully My Sister

The First Madam looked at Patriarch Lu’s expression and smiled as she said, “Father, since you’ve called Second Brother and his family over, we still have to eat no matter what. Why don’t we have dinner first.”

Patriarch Lu still had that imposing aura and the First Madam dared to speak up any further when he did not respond.

Just then, Aisha who was seated near him had called out. “Grandpa Lu.”

Patriarch Lu finally shifted his gaze and looked over.

Aisha cleverly said, “Grandpa Lu, one can’t function properly on an empty stomach. It’s fine if us youngsters don’t eat, but you have to take care of yourself. We still have to play chess when the time comes.”

Patriarch Lu’s expression finally eased slightly. He stood up from his seat and headed towards the dining room.

Everyone else followed behind him.

After dinner, Patriarch Lu ushered Lu Jianlin into his study room.

The other people sat in the living room and chatted.

The First Madam asked Mrs. Lu, “Why don’t your family stay here tonight?”

In fact, the First Madam did not wish for them to stay here in the slightest. She was worried that it would give Aisha an opportunity and so, she deliberately said, “You and your family haven’t returned to stay for quite some time and it was raining a few days back. The servants often clean and ventilate the rooms, so it shouldn’t be too uncomfortable for you to stay in them.”

Aisha immediately looked at Lu Jingye with an expectant gaze.

A streak of light flashed through Rick’s eyes, who was seated next to Aisha. He was thinking of how to create an opportunity for his younger sister and Aisha to be alone together.

Just then, Lu Jingye’s phone rang.

Lu Jingye glanced at the caller ID and headed outside with his phone.

The moment Lu Jingye walked out, Rick hastily gave Aisha a wink, asking her to follow Lu Jingye outside.

Aisha bit her lips and hesitated for two seconds, before she stood up and said to everyone, “I’ll be going back to rest first.”

Rick said, “Your body isn’t in the best condition and you should indeed rest early.”

How could the First Madam not know what the brother and sister were thinking? She then said out of kindness, “Aisha, I’ll get my daughter-in-law to send you back.”

The First Madam’s daughter-in-law immediately stood up.

Aisha panicked and looked towards Rick.

Rick had also stood up. “Thanks for your kind intentions, I’ll send Aisha back.”

He then walked to Aisha’s side and held her arm.

The two of them headed outside.

Traces of anger flashed through the First Madam’s eyes as she looked at their departing backs.

Hmph, I’d like to see what you two can do under my nose.

Lu Jingye was standing by the wall in the courtyard with his body leaned to the side as he answered the call. The street lamp shone on half of his face, making his already handsome outline to be surrounded by a faint halo. Coupled with his noble and gentle temperament, Aisha who was peeping at him could not help but blush as her heartbeat quickened.

Lu Jingye immediately sensed someone looking in his direction. He told the person on the other end that he would return their call shortly and put away his phone as he walked towards Aisha.

Aisha was just like a little girl who got caught peeping and she lowered her head in embarrassment. “B-brother Lu, I…”

“Aisha.” Lu Jingye stood there and the aura he gave off somehow became serious. “I’ve mentioned before that I can’t fancy you a few years back and it’s still the same now.”

Aisha suddenly looked up and tears seeped out of her eyes. Her lips trembled and she asked, “Why? You haven’t even tried to experience what it feels like to be with me.”

“There’s no need. If you truly meet someone you love, you’ll know it at once. If you don’t like the other person, you won’t fall in love with them be it 10 or 20 years.”

Tears trickled down her cheeks and she tightly grabbed her clothes as she said in tears, “Is it that Brother Lu feels that I’m lacking somewhere? As long as you tell me what I’m lacking in, I’ll change it right away.”

Lu Jingye furrowed his eyebrows. “If you like someone, you’ll think that everything is good even if they are problematic.”

“Are you talking about Zi Yi?”

“Yes.”

Aisha bit her lips and said, “I’ve heard of her, but she doesn’t deserve you. She…”

Lu Jingye interrupted her before she could finish her sentence. “Aisha, I am with Yiyi and there’s nothing like who deserves who in our relationship. I love her, and I don’t wish to hear anyone badmouthing her.”

Aisha cried even harder as if Lu Jingye had bullied her.

Just then, footsteps sound approached from the side, followed by Rick’s angry roar. “Lu Jingye, how dare you bully my sister!”

He swung his fists towards him.

Lu Jingye leaned to one side and dodged his punch.

Rick continued to unleash punches.

This time around, Lu Jingye directly grabbed his fists and tugged him to one side as he pressed him against the wall. With a deep voice, he said, “Rick, are you intending to openly break relations with me?”

Rick yelled at Lu Jingye while he struggled. “So be it. Since you bullied my sister, I will never let you have it easy!”

“Ha!” Lu Jingye looked at his livid expression and sneered, “I never bully girls. As to why Aisha is crying, I believe you can see it clearly from where you were in the yard.”

Rick’s expression slightly changed and Lu Jingye released him. He headed towards the door without looking back.

Behind him were sounds of Aisha crying even harder and Rick comforting her

When Lu Jingye entered the living room, everyone was looking at him. The Third Madam asked out of curiosity, “Jingye, what happened earlier? Why did I hear Rick yelling?”

She even joked around. “Could it be that you bullied his sister, Aisha?”

Lu Jingye replied with a gentle expression. “I haven’t. I only told her that I have a girlfriend.”

The Third Madam wanted to say something else when Mrs. Lu interrupted. “Girls nowadays would always cry after getting rejected. I prefer girls with strong personalities.”

Rick had just managed to coax Aisha into walking back to the courtyard, when Aisha heard what Mrs. Lu said. She then turned around to run away.

Rick’s expression became twisted.

He did not believe that Lu Yunxiao would be able to return in a week’s time. Lu Jingye would definitely do something in the following days. As long as he obtains evidence, Patriarch Lu would definitely get Lu Jingye to marry his sister in order to seal his mouth.

“I still have a trump card up my sleeves. Lu Jingye, you can’t escape.”

Rick thought of this and turned to leave.

…

Lu Jianlin and his family only returned at around 10 p.m.

Lu Jingye did not immediately return to his room and sleep. Instead, he said, “I’ll go and visit Yiyi, I’ll be back tomorrow morning.”

He drove away soon after.

Mrs. Lu looked at the car driving away and anxiously said, “Jianlin, would it be dangerous for Jingye to go out now?”

Her youngest son was still in the secret base and if something happened to her eldest son, she would collapse.

“Don’t worry, he has a sense of propriety.”

Lu Jingye could not possibly directly head to the base. Moreover, it was a four to five-hour car drive from his current location to the secret base and by the time he arrived, it would be tomorrow morning.

Therefore, he directly made his way to Zi Yi’s bar.

Zi Yi had given him the highest authority back then and right now, he was basically the second owner of the bar.

The instant he walked in, Little Loli walked up to him and welcomed him.

Little Loli was extremely excited to see Lu Jingye. “Oppa Lu, why are you here?”

Her master wasn’t around and she’s now able to call him Oppa Lu again~

Lu Jingye glanced at the crowded bar. Some people had already recognized him by this time and all of them were rather excited to come over and greet him.

Lu Jingye said to Little Loli, “Bring me to a quiet place.”

“Alright, Oppa Lu, follow me.”

Little Loli took the lead and walked past the crowd with Lu Jingye behind her. There were many people who greeted him along the way and he responded in a gentle manner and nodded at them.

As soon as he left the hall, everyone started talking.

“Why is Second Brother here?”

“Could it be that he came looking for Zi Yi?”

“I heard that students from M.Uni are saying that Zi Yi is still abroad and has yet to return. Does Second Brother know of this?”

“Perhaps he simply wants to come here to drink.”
