Chapter 529 - Professor Lu, You Must Tell Me In Advance When You Give a Lecture In the Future

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After Lu Jingye left the Lu Group, the impression he gave others was that he was still recovering from his injuries. Even though he had taken over Mrs. Lu’s Song Jewelry, he would only call for a meeting with the executives once every few days.

No matter how they looked at it, he seemed to have suffered from too much of a setback.

Even though the Dou Family members knew that he had been doing something in the dark, they could not bear to listen to others wagging their tongues. Especially when Lu Jingye was Dou Jingtong’s favored student.

Therefore, Dou Jingtong called him over to the M.Uni and got him to give a lecture.

Lu Jingye had come to M.Uni to give a lecture in the past. However, he was extremely busy back then and it was considered very good if he could spare time to make two to three trips over once a year.

“promised the school to be a special guest professor.”

Zi Yi was silent for two seconds before she smiled and said, “It’s been hard on my Uncle to have found such a reputable job for you.”

Having said that, Zi Yi could not help but laugh out loud. After she finished laughing, she pretended to be serious and said, “Professor Lu, you must tell me in advance when you give a lecture in the future. I have to come early to snatch the best seat and let those girls who adore you feel envy and hatred.”

Lu Jingye raised his hand and touched her head. “I will leave the best seat for you in the future. No matter what time you arrive, that seat will still be there.”

Zi Yi was happy to hear his words. She blinked her beautiful eyes and asked, “Is that a family seat?”

Unexpectedly, Lu Jingye answered with a ‘yes’ in a serious manner.

By the time they arrived at the Dou Family’s residence, Dou Jingning and Dou Jingtong had already come back. The others were either still on the way, their schools had still yet to end, or they were still busy with their work.

Lu Jingye remained in the living room and chatted with her two Uncles, while Zi Yi went to the backyard to check up on Elder Dou.

Elder Dou had just finished his dinner and was currently taking a stroll in the backyard with the help of the First Madam.

Zi Yi immediately called out to them. “Grandpa, Aunt.”

“Yiyi, you’re here.”

The First Madam smiled and said, “Since Yiyi is here, you can accompany your Grandpa and take a walk. I’ll head over to the kitchen to check up on the food.”

Zi Yi walked over and supported Elder Dou, while the First Madam took her leave.

“Grandpa, how are you feeling these days?”

Elder Dou smiled and said, “I feel that my footsteps have become lighter these days.”

He was able to come out for a stroll every day. Elder Dou was originally very satisfied with that, and he did not expect he would become more agile.

Zi Yi said while smiling, “Grandpa, the prescription I prescribed for you this time is to strengthen your bones. In the future, you will be able to walk as fast as Uncles and the others.”

Elder Dou happily laughed out loud. “Then that’s really great.”

No elderly person was willing to be a burden to their family members. In particular, if they ended up needing someone to care for them daily for the entire day.

Elder Dou said, “After my body gets better, I’ll make a trip to M.Uni to walk around.”

For someone who had been a headmaster for two to three decades, the feelings Elder Dou had for M.Uni was something outsiders would never understand.

Zi Yi nodded her head. “Grandpa, you can head over anytime you like. In another half a month’s time, I’ll change your prescription to another one that is for nourishing and warming up your body. Your illness has already been fully cured and you just need to keep up with a healthy lifestyle in the future.”

Elder Dou looked at Zi Yi. In fact, often at times he would think to himself and wonder who this little girl was, where she had come from and why was she so knowledgeable about so many things?

Elder Dou fully understood the real Zi Yi. Even if she was really clever, her talents would have already rotted due to Zi Xu’s and Li Peirong’s care. Moreover, an expert had told him in the past that both he and Zi Yi would pass away one after another when she was eighteen.

The expert had also mentioned that if the both of them managed to escape their death fate, he should not suspect Zi Yi and let the Dou Family treat her well. She ought to have been raised as the Dou Family’s child in the first place and not to mention, she was a lucky star.

In the beginning, Elder Dou did not quite believe in the expert. However, ever since he had experienced brushing past a near death, he had thoroughly believed in the expert’s words.

At the same time, he decided to bury this in his heart.

No matter where this little girl in front of him came from, all the versions were his granddaughter.

“Grandpa, Grandpa…”

Zi Yi noticed that Elder Dou was staring into blank space and so, she called out to him.

Elder Dou recovered his senses and said with a smile, “I am happy.”

He patted her hand and when he thought of the foolish things Patriarch Lu had done in recent days, his expression became serious. “I’ve already heard of the news that Jingye’s Grandfather isn’t allowing you to hold the wedding banquet in the Lu Family home.”

Zi Yi did not find it a bother. “If he doesn’t allow us, then we shall not hold the wedding banquet there. In any case, I don’t want to let those people from those aristocratic families attend my wedding anyways.”

Elder Dou did not expect Zi Yi to be so open-minded and he felt a little comforted. “It’s best that you don’t bash your head against a brick wall. However…” Speaking up to here, his expression became rather stern. “The wedding of the granddaughter of the Dou Family ought to be grand. I’d like to see,

without the Lu Family, is the Dou Family able to have a lively wedding without them?”

Zi Yi smiled and said, “Grandpa, the leaders of M.Uni will all be there.”

Elder Dou was momentarily stunned before he smiled and nodded his head. “It’s good. With the whole of M.Uni as your backing and supporting you, I’d like to see who dares to gossip about you behind your back.”

The two of them made eye contact and smiled. Just then, Zi Yi’s phone suddenly rang.

She took out her phone and glanced at the caller ID, only to be slightly surprised. It was Deputy Pang from the First Hospital who was calling her.

Zi Yi swiped and answered his call. Deputy Pang’s dissatisfied tone of voice could be heard from the other end. “Little Zi, you’re too much. How is it that you didn’t even invite us to your wedding banquet?!”

Zi Yi was unexpectedly speechless. She did not know how the news of her wedding banquet spread so fast to Deputy Pang.

Seeing that Zi Yi was silent, Deputy Pang thought that she was feeling guilty and so, he changed his tone as if he was not going to argue with her on that anymore.

“Little Zi, I know you must be busy with the preparations of your wedding, so I shall not make things difficult for you to personally invite us. I’ve helped you make a calculation. On the 24th, there are twelve professors and doctors who are not on shift and eight higher-ups including me.

There’s only twenty of us and it shouldn’t be difficult to add another two extra tables, right?”

“I’s not a problem.”

Deputy Pang had already planned it out for her so what was there that was difficult for her?

Deputy Pang was happy with her response. “Then that’ll be it. When the time comes, you can send me the specific location and time of your wedding and we’ll make our way over directly.”

Zi Yi responded, after some hesitation, “Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Zi Yi turned to look at Elder Dou who had heard the entire conversation and was smiling at her.

In fact, she knew that the reason why those from the First Hospital were coming was hugely due to her Grandpa.

Elder Hu patted the back of her hand. “This is good too. As long as they are sincere wishes, we welcome them all.”

Zi Yi nodded her head in response.

They conversed for a while more and Zi Yi helped Elder Dou back to the house.

Elder Dou sat on the reclining chair and got Zi Yi to fetch a book and read it aloud for him.

This lasted until Dou Xiangling came in.

The first thing Dou Xiangling did was to call out to Elder Dou. “Grandpa.”

She then said to Zi Yi, “Yiyi, it’s time for dinner.”

Elder Dou said, “You can go eat first. I’m feeling tired and I’ll take a nap first.”

He tried standing up from the chair having said that.

Zi Yi and Dou Xiangling each stood on the left and right side to support him back to his bedroom and only left after they saw him lie down..
