Chapter 507: Lu Jingye Getting Angry

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Ha!” Zi Yi sneered. “You’re really a ‘good’ father. Aren’t you planning to marry me off without even asking for my opinion?”
“I’m doing this for your own good.” Zi Xu pointed at Lu Jingye who was standing there and said, “You won’t have the slightest future if you stay with him and you would even bring trouble to yourself and our Zi Family. If you have the slightest bit of conscience, you shouldn’t be staying together with him.”
“Conscience?!”
Dou Jingning revealed an angry smile and the anger he had accumulated all these years had finally exploded. He pointed at Zi Xu’s nose and said, “Zi Xu, you still know of the word conscience? When Yiyi was two years old, you brought back Zi Xuan, who was one year younger than her. By the looks of it, when Nuannuan had just passed away, you had a relationship with Li Peirong! You sure are capable!
All these years, you’ve used the Dou Family’s name to pull in customers openly and also behind our backs. We’ve always turned a blind eye to it and even when you had committed a big mistake, it was also the Dou Family that helped you smooth it out at the expense of our reputation. How did you make that guarantee before Zi Yi’s grandfather again ? You said that no matter if there is a second wife or child, you would treat Zi Yi the best.”
Zi Xu originally could not find any words to refute him, but when he heard what Dou Jingning said at the end, he found something to say. “When have I treated her badly all these years? I’ve given her the best of everything! When she wanted to buy luxury cars worth millions of dollars, I’ve not uttered a single word and bought two to three of them in a single year. I’ve allowed her to do whatever she wanted and have never restricted her in any way…”
“Zi Xu, you still have the cheek to mention this? If not for you, would Yiyi have been the joke of the whole of S City?”
Zi Xu was also angry and he yelled at Dou Jingning, “Why was she laughed at? How is it that I’ve never heard of it before?”
“Never heard of it before? Where would you possibly hear it from? Li Peirong?” Dou Jingning’s expression became increasingly ugly. “Do you know what Li Peirong has done to Zi Yi all these years?”
Zi Yi answered on his behalf, “When I skipped lessons, she covered for me. When I hit people, she apologized on my behalf. When I visited bars, she would give me the money.”
Zi Yi said a dozen of things and at the mention of each thing, Dou Jingning’s expression would darken another shade.
Zi Xu had never expected Li Peirong to have done this behind his back. He only knew that she was very protective of Zi Yi.
After he heard what Zi Yi had to say, he finally realized something was amiss and his expression had also darkened.
He then looked at Zi Yi with an expression of regret. “Yiyi, I didn’t know that…”
“Of course you wouldn’t have known of it. At first, you only knew how to make me get benefits for you at Grandfather’s place. After that, when they became disappointed with me, you left me unattended. How could you have possibly known?”
Zi Xu did not expect Zi Yi to be so rude and rebuke him. He felt that his majesty as a father had been provoked and he got a little angry.
However, at the thought that he only had Yiyi as his daughter right now, and that he still had to count on her in the future, he revealed a regretful expression. “Yiyi, I’m sorry. I’ve always thought that Li Peirong treated you very well.”
Speaking of this, he suddenly became confident. “It’s all because of Li Peirong, that poisonous woman! I was blind to have fallen for her.”
He then thought of Zi Xuan who was pushed off of the building by Li Peirong and he pushed all the blame onto Li Peirong.
“She pretended to be nice to you in front of me and the helpers at home had also said the same thing. It was only because of that, did I concentrate on my work with ease. I only had the thought of earning more money so that you could live a luxurious life. How could I have known that…”
He covered his face and had an expression of remorse and grief on his face.
Dou Jingning looked at Zi Xu’s current appearance and wished that he could walk over and give him two tight slaps across the face.
“Zi Xu, stop playing the emotion card in front of Zi Yi. If you are really regretful, you should not be making Zi Yi marry someone she doesn’t like.”
Zi Xu suddenly put down his hands and said in anger, “I’m doing this for the sake of Yiyi.”
Why doesn’t the Dou Family and Yiyi understand his good intentions?
He pointed at Lu Jingye and said, “He doesn’t deserve my daughter at all.”
“Zi Xu!” Dou Jingning simply flew into a rage. “Little Lu is so much better than those people you randomly found for Yiyi!”
Just then, Lu Jingye, who had remained silent since the beginning, moved. He came closer to Zi Yi and his aura had instantly stumped Zi Xu.
While approaching Zi Xu, he said, “You’re Yiyi’s father, so I respect you. But if you truly intend to marry Yiyi to someone else, I will make you regret your decision.”
“You…” Zi Xu stared at him in disbelief. “How dare you threaten me?”
“This is not a threat, but a warning. If you really try and do it, I will make it so that you can never return to the capital.”
Lu Jingye’s tone of voice was very calm as he said this, but it contained an invisible pressure and Zi Xu almost could not breathe.
By the time he recovered his senses, a powerful surge of anger rushed to his brain.
“Do you still think of yourself as the Second Young Master of the Lu Family? You’re merely a useless person chased out from the Lu Family. What rights do you have to marry my daughter? My daughter will only marry the best.”
“The best?” Zi Yi moved closer to Lu Jingye’s side and said in a mocking tone, “You mean the one that can bring you the best benefits?”
Zi Xu looked at Zi Yi, who insisted on opposing him, with a livid expression. He tried his best to stop himself from flaring up at her. “I only have you as my daughter right now. Obviously, I’m doing this for…”
Zi Yi interrupted him. “You can find someone else and have another child.”
“…” Zi Xu’s expression changed several times. If he could give birth to another child, would he be talking so much nonsense to a lass that insists on singing the opposite tune?!
However, it was obvious that he would not say that out loud. With how three people were blocking him, he knew that the Dou Family and Lu Jingye would definitely get angry if he were to forcibly leave to meet the Qin Family. It would be best for him to wait for them to shift their attention away and privately meet the Qin Family.
Thinking of this, he removed all expressions from his face and pretended to compromise. “If you don’t want to marry into the Qin Family, you don’t have to. But you cannot marry him. As long as you agree to this, I won’t meet the Qin Family.”
“Zi Xu, you…”
“Then let’s see if Uncle can get what he wants.”
“How dare you threaten me!” Zi Xu was angered by Lu Jingye’s words and he turned around to leave.
Just then, Lu Jingye’s frosty voice sounded from behind. “Look after him well.”
As soon as he said that, two skilled bodyguards appeared outside the door.
Zi Xu’s path was blocked by the two of them and he shouted at them, “Get out of the way!”
The two bodyguards remained unmoved.
Zi Xu turned around and shouted in anger, “Zi Yi, look at the fine man you’ve found yourself. How dare he stop me?!”
“If he doesn’t stop you, wouldn’t you be on your way to meet the Qin Family to collude with them and discuss how much I am worth?”
Zi Yi’s expression sank after she said that. “Knock him out.”
As soon as she said that, before Zi Xu managed to react, he was knocked unconscious.
Lu Jingye motioned for the two bodyguards. “Send him to his room.”
Dou Jingning looked at Zi Xu who was being carried upstairs and said with a worried expression, “This person is too stubborn and we have to find another way to make him incapable of interfering with Yiyi’s marriage.”
Lu Jingye looked at Dou Jingning and said, “Eldest Uncle, I will take care of this matter.. Please don’t worry about it.”
