Chapter 443: Lu Jingye’s Attitude
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At the thought of this possibility, the Dou Family was very angry.
Dou Zerui coldly snorted. “If Patriarch Lu does not like Yiyi, it’s not like we need him to!”
Dou Muyang snorted. “Even if the Lu Family are royalty, there’s no need for our Dou Family to curry favors with them. Yiyi is so outstanding and if they dislike her, then it’s their loss.”
However, Dou Xiangling was a little worried and she asked Zi Yi, who had remained silent throughout, “Yiyi, what are your thoughts?”
All of them turned to look at Zi Yi as they wanted to hear her thoughts.
Zi Yi did not immediately answer. Instead, she asked a question, “Will you be attending the Lu Family’s dinner banquet when the time comes?”
“What is the need to attend?” Dou Xiaoyong said in a solemn voice. “Since it’s not a sincere invitation, we won’t go.”
The others also had the same thought.
Zi Yi nodded her head and the corner of her lips curled up. She did not take this incident to heart. “I’m dating Ah Jing, it doesn’t affect me if Patriarch Lu agrees to our relationship or not.”
If he were to infuriate her, she would simply transfer Ah Jing’s household registration to her residence, then hack into the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certification completed. At that time, she would like to see how Patriarch Lu would be able to stop them.
Obviously, Zi Yi would not say that out loud.
When the Dou Family heard what she had said, her Uncles were silent for some time.
Dou Jingning asked, “What’s Little Lu’s attitude about this?”
Even though they personally did not wish for Zi Yi to be involved with the Lu Family, they could not do anything if they liked each other, as they could not possibly do something like breaking up an affectionate couple.
However, if Lu Jingye’s stance was lacking, then they could only be those evil people who break them up.
The Dou Family females would never get married into another family just to suffer humiliation.
Even though they were angry with Zi Xu, he had truly treated her mother well after they got married. Otherwise, they would not have indulged Zi Xu so much in the beginning.
Before Zi Yi had the chance to speak, a sudden car horn sounded from outside.
The First Madam and the Second Madam hastily went out to check on the situation.
The rest did not pay much attention to it and continued to stare at Zi Yi.
Zi Yi said confidently, “Ah Jing will not allow anyone to bully me.”
Her Uncles furrowed their brows.
It was Lu Jingye’s grandfather in question and who could be sure which side he would stand on?
Just as Dou Jingning was about to speak, the First Madam’s voice sounded from outside. “Mr. Lu is here.”
All of them were surprised and they subconsciously looked towards the door.
When they saw Lu Jingye entering together with the First Madam and Second Madam, their expressions were somewhat weird.
After Lu Jingye entered, he greeted them politely. He originally gave off a polite and gentle image and now that he was smiling, it would unconsciously make one have a good impression of him.
Lu Jingye looked at Zi Yi with those gentle eyes of his, before he said to the Dou Family, “My Mother is inviting the Dou Family to attend the Lu Family’s dinner banquet. I believe there might be some confusion in this and I came here specially to explain to everyone.”
The Dou Family members looked at each other.
Dou Jingning said, “Mr. Lu, come in and take a seat.” Having said that, he even commented, “There are insufficient chairs in our home, so I hope you don’t mind.”
Dou Zerui immediately understood his intentions and went over to fetch a short stool.
The Dou Family was clearly testing Lu Jingye to see his attitude.
Zi Yi wanted to speak when the First Madam softly called out to her. “Little Zi.”
Zi Yi turned to look at the First Madam and she shook her head, hinting to her not to speak.
All of them were staring at Lu Jingye, just so that they could see his reaction.
When faced with the Dou Family deliberately trying to make things difficult for him, Lu Jingye still maintained a polite smile on his face.
He walked over and lifted the short stool to place it beside Zi Yi and sat down.
The stool was very short. For someone who was 1.8 meters tall, it was very awkward.
He did not reveal the slightest trace of dissatisfaction, despite being seated like that. On the contrary, his noble aura made a person feel as if everyone were seated in the same way.
Zi Yi tilted her head and looked at him.
Lu Jingye sensed her gaze on him and turned to look at her, hinting to her to rest assured.
He then looked towards the Dou Family and said, “This banquet is hosted by my Grandfather and he has invited everyone in the high society of the capital. In particular, unmarried women of every family, with the purpose of matchmaking my younger brother and I.”
As soon as Lu Jingye said that, Dou Zerui angrily said, “Sure enough, it’s really a matchmaking session for you!”
He originally thought that Lu Jingye was a pretty nice guy, but he found him unpleasant to look at right now. “Since your Grandfather is trying to matchmake you, why are you still here to look for my cousin? Let me tell you…”
“Zerui, keep quiet!” Dou Zhiyuan said in a deep raised voice and Dou Zerui could only keep his mouth shut.
Dou Jingtong looked at the student he had always been proud of and said, “Little Lu, continue.”
Lu Jingye nodded and said, “In the Lu Family, only our family moved out of the main residence. Everyone thought that it was due to my father’s work, but the real reason is that my Grandfather disapproved of my Father marrying my Mother.”
The Dou Family members were all surprised to hear that.
Lu Jingye then said, “My Mother comes from a merchant family and my grandfather felt that she did not deserve my father. Therefore, my father had moved out of the main residence in order to marry her.
The reason for telling you these things is to let you know that it’s my own matter to like Yiyi. Wanting to marry and have children with her is also my own matter. My family can choose to recognize our relationship, but they do not have the right to decide our lives. Even if the person is my grandfather.”
When Lu Jingye said that, he had a firm expression.
The Dou Family were satisfied with his response.
“Little Lu, you’ve said it well. But I want to ask, did your parents experience many twists and turns in order to be together back then? Did your Mother’s family make a big concession?” Dou Jingning hit the nail on the head.
“Yes.” Unexpectedly, Lu Jingye did not conceal that. “My maternal grandfather’s family was engaged in the jade business. In order to let them be together, they had agreed to hand all their business to my mother as a dowry.”
The expressions of the Dou Family sank simultaneously.
“The Dou Family does not have such a massive family business like the Song Family. Does it mean that Little Zi would never be recognized by Patriarch Lu?”
“Uncle…”
“Yiyi.” Lu Jingye raised his hand and held onto Zi Yi’s hand and prevented her from speaking.
He looked at the Dou Family and said, “That’s not what I meant. The reason I’m telling you this is that since my parents can obtain my grandfather’s approval back then, the same goes for Yiyi and me.
We don’t need anything from you. If money can make my grandfather approve of Yiyi, I have private properties that can be transferred over to her. She can bring them out and receive my grandfather’s approval that way.
But if my grandfather does not agree, I can leave the Lu Family empty-handed. In this life of mine, I will only marry Yiyi.”
He held Zi Yi’s hand after he made that statement and he revealed a firm gaze.
The Dou Family members looked at Lu Jingye and did not know what else they should say.
Some time later, Dou Xiangling asked, “What if Patriarch Lu doesn’t approve of your relationship and makes things difficult for Zi Yi when the time comes?”
“I can promise with my life that I won’t allow anyone to make things difficult for Yiyi.”
