Reincarnation: Multi-skilled Goddess Is So Beautiful! Chapter 248 - Accident

Chapter 248: Accident

Dou Zerui’s eyes widened and he wanted to push Zi Yi away out of conditioned reflex.
However, Lu Jingye had acted before him and dragged Zi Yi away.
All of a sudden, Dou Zerui was slightly stunned.
A few seconds later, he suddenly recalled the falling headlights and subconsciously looked up, only to see a robot with mechanical wings who had caught the lights and was currently in the midst of installing it.
Zi Yi’s voice sounded at that moment. “Ah Jing, there’s no need to worry. They are installing the lights and they won’t fall down.”
Dou Zerui: “…”
He felt that he was making a huge fuss out of nothing.
Just then, Lu Jingye asked, “Do you have anything to drink here?”
“There’s alcohol.”
Lu Jingye and Dou Zerui stared at her simultaneously, and she looked back at them in confusion.
Lu Jingye took out her phone, pressed a button, and said, “Buy some mineral water.”
The moment Zi Yi heard that, she stared at him with an eager look.
In the end, Lu Jingye added, “And another cup of milk tea and cake.”
Zi Yi smiled in response.
Yet, Dou Zerui felt even more bitter deep down.
His cousin was actually bribed by a cup of milk tea and a piece of cake!
Subsequently, the three of them remained in the bar. Zi Yi was responsible for supervising the renovation works while Lu Jingye stood beside her and provided her with his opinions.
Dou Zerui felt that he was redundant. But even so, he had no intentions to leave.
In the blink of an eye, it was already five p.m.
Lu Jingye glanced at his watch and asked, “What do you feel like eating later?”
Zi Yi was fine with anything.
Lu Jingye nodded, then turned to Dou Zerui.
Dou Zerui immediately corrected his expression and said, “You’ve helped my cousin so much today and it’s been hard on you. I’ll treat.”
Lu Jingye looked at him and nodded. “Ok.”
Dou Zerui: “…”
Why was this man not polite at all?!
With such complicated emotions deep down, Dou Zerui made a reservation.
The three of them entered the reserved room and ordered some dishes. While waiting, Dou Zerui recalled something and suddenly asked, “Isn’t Elder Lu celebrating his birthday soon? Why are you still free?”
Lu Jingye answered in neither a fast nor slow manner, “My father and uncles will make preparations for my grandfather’s birthday.”
Dou Zerui nodded, took a sip, and asked in a casual tone, “There will be numerous single ladies attending Elder Lu’s birthday. In the Lu Family, only you and your brother have reached marriageable age. What will you do when someone proposes a marriage?”
“We are not in a feudal society. Marriage is my own business and no one else can make decisions on my behalf.”
Even though Dou Zerui was satisfied with his answer, his expression became stern when he thought of something. “I heard that the marriages of your cousins are all set by Elder Lu. I don’t believe you can make decisions for yourself when Elder Lu interferes.”
Hearing this, Zi Yi turned to look at Lu Jingye. She grabbed his hand and said with a confident expression, “Ah Jing, don’t you worry. If your grandfather matches you up with someone else, I’ll snatch you away.”
Lu Jingye’s lips slightly curled up. “Ok.”
Dou Zerui: “…”
He felt that all his worries were redundant!
…
Elder Lu was a big shot and even though he had retired, celebrating his seventieth birthday was a huge event.
The Lu Family had started making preparations a month in advance.
In particular, during the last few days, everyone in the family was busy running about.
Other than the Lu Family, various young masters and young ladies of the high society families had also started to get busy.
The young ladies had to go for beauty treatments and choose their clothing. At the same time, they signed up for fitness classes. All of it was just to appear in the birthday banquet in a high-spirited and beautiful manner. Perhaps Elder Lu might take a liking to them and arrange a marriage.
The young masters had also crammed in knowledge about national and international affairs, as they feared that Elder Lu would suddenly single them out on a whim to talk about these topics. It would be bad if they were unable to answer.
While the young masters and young ladies were busy, Zi Yi enjoyed her days. At the very least, no ignorant people came looking for trouble at her bar.
Following that, she went to the racing club and unexpectedly saw Zhou Shijin sitting at the entrance waiting for her.
The moment he saw her car driving in, he hastily stood up.
“I know my brother came looking for you that day.”
Zi Yi looked at him with indifference.
Zhou Shijin continued to speak. “I apologize for my brother’s actions.”
Having said that, he bowed to her.
“However, I still want to try driving your racing car again.”
Whenever he thought back to the previous incident, that speed he experienced still made his heartbeat accelerate.
Zi Yi looked at him for several seconds and suddenly said, “Your brother used 10 million to make me refuse your application. How much profit do you think you can generate for me?”
Zhou Shijin tightened his fists and clenched his teeth. “I will generate profits that are ten times more than 10 million!”
“Oh?” Zi Yi narrowed her eyes. “What if you fail to achieve that?”
Zhou Shijin felt that he had been belittled and his eyes turned red. “Then I will be a racer under your club forever, free of charge!”
Zi Yi laughed. Her smile was like a fox. “Alright then, I will prepare a contract. When the time comes, if you are unable to achieve what you promised, you will be a racer under my club forever.”
Zhou Shijin: “…”
He felt that he had been tricked.
The two of them entered the club one after another. Zi Yi said to the robot who made its way over, “Prepare a contract. I will send you the specific terms later.”
“I understand, Master.”
After the robot left, Zi Yi led Zhou Shijin inside.
They continued walking to the edge of the racing track and she said, “The minimum speed of my sports car is 800km/h. You aren’t able to drive it. I will purchase two unmodified racing cars and you can practice with those.”
Zhou Shijin tightened his fist. He wanted to say that he could drive her cars, but his reasoning held him back. He nodded with slight irritation but he still asked in the end, “Then can I drive the cars you have modified?”
Zi Yi looked at him. “You can. But before that, you have to undergo several physical examinations.”
“Okay.”
After they signed the contract, Zi Yi prepared to make her way home.
Just as she walked out of the racetrack, she saw Zhou Shiyu’s car.
At the same time, he alighted and headed towards her and asked with a grim expression, “Are you really going to accept my younger brother?”
Zi Yi showed him the contract and asked, “Do you think this is fake?”
Zhou Shiyu’s expression intensified. He nodded and said, “Alright, I hope you two won’t regret it when the time comes.”
Following that, he left.
Zi Yi looked at his car driving away with a cold expression. She headed for her car and drove away soon after.
However, not long after she started driving, she discovered a car trailing behind her.
Looking at the car, a chilly glint flashed across her eyes.
