Reincarnation: Multi-skilled Goddess Is So Beautiful! Chapter 258 - Someone Sent Zi Yi Flowers

Chapter 258: Someone Sent Zi Yi Flowers

The sender of the flowers had caused such a huge commotion and Zi Yi had no option but to pay attention to it, even if she did not wish to.
She quickly checked the identity of the person who sent the flowers.
A sneer surfaced on her lips at the results. “Rick… he actually came to the capital?”[1]
It was obvious he came to participate in Elder Lu’s birthday under the guise of Lu Jingye’s classmate and took advantage of Lu Jingye being busy to come and find her.
However, she was rather curious as to who told him about her relationship with Lu Jingye.
In fact, there were only a few who knew about her relationship with Lu Jingye. However, the rumors about her and Lu Jingye dining together had been widely spread around high-society’s circles. Someone must have specially mentioned it to him and thus, Rick had personally made a visit.
“Is this a test? It just so happens that I want to meet you too.”
Half-past three in the afternoon, a limousine was parked outside Zi Yi’s bar.
A bodyguard soon alighted from the car and came forward to knock on the door.
Zi Yi redirected all the 360-degree surveillance cameras onto the car parked outside the bar. The windows of the back seat were only slightly lowered and she could only see his brown hair.
As usual, Zi Yi had Little Loli open the door and she returned very quickly.
“Master, that person outside said that his boss wishes to meet you and buy you coffee. This is his name card.”
Zi Yi accepted the card and took a glance. As expected, it was Rick.
At the thought of the feud between him and Lu Jingye, Zi Yi made up her mind to meet with him.
She stood up, held her backpack, and headed for the door.
Just as she opened the door, the bodyguard who spoke to Little Loli was still standing there.
The moment he saw Zi Yi, he immediately took a step back and said, “Miss Zi, please.”
Zi Yi stood there and looked at Rick who was about to alight from his car. She did not walk over to his direction but instead, headed for her own car as she said, “Lead the way.”
A glint flashed past Rick’s eyes as he saw Zi Yi’s back view and returned to his car.
The place they went to was a very stylish coffee shop.
Upon entering, there was unexpectedly not a single customer, with the exception of the manager and the staff.
The manager, together with a group of staff members, respectfully greeted them. “Welcome.”
Rick, who was waiting for Zi Yi to ask why there were no customers around, glanced at her, only to realize that she was sending a message on her phone. He then sent a signal to the manager through his eyes.
The manager tactfully said, “Miss, this shop has been fully booked by Mr. Rick. We also have a professional violinist here. I wonder what music you would like to listen to?”
“Booked?” Zi Yi finally looked up from her phone and at Rick who revealed a charming smile at her. With an indifferent expression, she said, “Are you for real?”
“Based on Miss Zi’s charms, I don’t think it’s too much for me to book the whole coffee shop to treat you to a cup of coffee.”
Zi Yi felt that the ten billion she took away from him was too little.
“It seems like you’re still rich[2].”
Rix did not pick up on the hidden meaning behind her words. His smile intensified and said, “I am UP Group’s CEO. Miss Zi, you should have heard of XX and XXX?”
What Rick mentioned were two international luxury brands.
Zi Yi answered honestly, “I’ve never heard of them.”
Rick merely regarded it as her making a joke and motioned for her to go in. “I wonder if Miss Zi prefers sitting in a private room or the main hall?”
“The main hall will do. Since you’re so generous, we definitely have to sit somewhere with the widest view.”
“Haha, Miss Zi really has a way with her words.”
After he said that, he was just about to lean towards her.
However, Zi Yi shifted two steps away the second before he managed to get close.
Rick said with a smile, “Miss Zi not only has a charming appearance, but also a nice personality. I have discovered that I’ve fallen in love with you at first sight.”
Zi Yi looked at him coldly. “You fell in love with me at first sight?”
“Could it be that Miss Zi is doubtful? You have to believe that no one is capable of resisting your charms.”
“Is that so? Since you’ve said that, will you give me anything I ask for?”
“That’s right.”
Rick looked at the girl before him and sneered in his heart.
A woman like this is someone that guy fancied?
When did Lu Jingye become one that only looked at outer appearances?
Zi Yi stared at Rick’s eyes and the corner of her lips curled up. “In that case, transfer all the assets under your name to me. I love money.”
Rick’s smile vanished at her words. “Miss Zi is definitely fond of joking.”
“Joking? I’m not joking.”
After she said that, she walked over to the coffee table and sat down as she looked at him. “Mr. Rick, if you are incapable of such, don’t talk about falling in love with me at first sight or liking me. I don’t like to hear that coming from you. If you mention it one more time, that’s it for our conversation today.”
Rick narrowed his eyes and looked at her.
The woman before him had a stunning appearance and her ambitions were also very high.
However, thinking of how he had recorded their conversation, his lips uncontrollably curled up.
Right now, he could not wait to see Lu Jingye’s reaction after hearing what this woman said.
He decided to continue making her talk.
“Could it be that for Miss Zi’s future boyfriend, you would also request for them to transfer all their assets to you?”
“It’ll depend on whether I like them or not.”
“…”
This answer was different from what he had expected.
Rick slightly narrowed his eyes. “Could it be that Miss Zi is so snobbish in her interpersonal relationships?”
Zi Yi had also narrowed her eyes. She did not intend to play along with him. “As an outsider, you had inexplicably come looking for me at my bar. Clearly, you’re familiar with someone from the high-society circle and heard rumors about me. Let me guess… your visit here today must be related to Ah Jing?”
“Ah Jing? Is that what you call him!?”
Rick’s expression sank in an instant. “As expected, you have an unclear relationship with Lu Jingye! He’s my brother-in-law and you’d better leave him alone at once!”
“Pfft, brother-in-law? Lu Jingye is single, when did he become your brother-in-law?”
Zi Yi felt that the person in front of her was very irritating.
“If I say he is, then he is.” Rick overbearingly said, “I want you to leave the capital at once.”
“Who do you think you are?”
Rick was angered by Zi Yi’s indifferent rhetorical question. He had read through all her information before he came and he did not pose her to be of any threat.
Originally he intended to cherish the opposite gender based on her appearance, but he had now changed his mind.
At the raise of his hand, two bodyguards immediately made their way over.
Rick looked at her and said. “I’m not negotiating with you, but informing you instead. If you’re not going to leave on your own accord, don’t blame me for being rude.”
“Oh? How do you intend to be rude?”
“I heard your parents and younger sister have come to the capital recently. Would you like me to invite them over to have a cup of coffee together?”
Zi Yi looked at Rick’s stern eyes and chuckled. At the same time, she stood up and said, “Do as you please.”
Having said that, she took her leave.
“Hold it.”
Obviously, Zi Yi would not follow his orders.
Rick was enraged and he ordered in a heavy voice, “Capture her.”
While the two bodyguards went for her arms, she dodged and threw out two circular balls from her pocket.
The balls spun rapidly in the air and shortly after, numerous sharp objects sprang out and flew towards the bodyguards.
“Owww~~”
[1] Rick is the man who had his money stolen by Zi Yi, after requesting her to hack into Lu Jingye’s laptop.
[2] In Chinese, the way she asked could be interpreted in two ways. One is the English understanding of the sentence and the other is just stating that he’s rich.
