Chapter 809 - Renovations of Other Bars Are Complete. Waiting To Watch a Good Show

Zi Yi looked into the plans of Country A. She pondered about it for a few moments and ended up sending the information to Nangong Yu.

A minute later, Nangong Yu’s call came through.

Zi Yi answered her phone and Nangong Yu’s anxious voice sounded from the other end. “Junior Zi, is this information reliable?”

Zi Yi thought for a second and said, “It’s up to you to believe it or not.”

If she revealed that she had taken a tour around the top secret database of Country A and saw this information, she would have to explain how she managed to enter their database.

However, she did not wish to do so.

Unexpectedly, Nangong Yu did not continue pestering her with questions. He only remained silent for two seconds and said, “I understand.”

Having said that, he then said, “I plan to leave the capital and head over there on the tenth day of the New Year. I won’t tell the others over there about you for the time being. I will be the only one contacting you then.”

Zi Yi said, “Ok.”

The both of them hung up the call after that.

Just as Zi Yi was about to put away her phone, the door to her room was knocked on.

An unfamiliar female voice sounded from outside. “Miss Zi, are you inside the room?”

Zi Yi looked at the door and tried to guess who the other party was and her motive for knocking on her door.

Unexpectedly, the woman introduced herself. “I’m Zhang Yewei from the Zhang Family and I chanced upon Miss Gu greeting you earlier. I love your paintings and I hope to get to know you. Can I come in?”

The Zhang Family was also one of the eight great aristocratic families. However, their family was not close to the other aristocratic families. As their family mainly deals with diplomacy, they were basically stationed abroad all year round.

Zi Yi walked over and opened the door.

The young lady standing outside her door looked very beautiful. There was a dimple on her left cheek that became visible when she revealed a smile.

“Hello, Zi Yi.”

Zi Yi nodded at her. “Hello.”

Zhang Yewei asked, “Can I come in and take a seat?”

“Sure.”

The both of them walked inside the room and took a seat. Zhang Yewei said with a smile, “I’ve basically been staying abroad in the past and I only came back during the New Year to visit my grandparents. However, Miss Zi’s reputation in the Painting and Calligraphy circles in Country C is very famous.”

They chatted about some topics related to paintings for a short while and while chatting, Zhang Yewei naturally asked, “Miss Zi, can I call you Yiyi?”

Zi Yi nodded her head.

Zhang Yewei became happier at her reaction. The dimple on her left cheek had deepened.

“Then you can call me Yewei too.”

“Mhmm.”

“Did you come today while accompanying Mrs. Lu alone?”

“Yes, Mom and Ah Jing went to pray to the God of Wealth.”

“Then…”

Zhang Yewei suddenly revealed slight awkwardness and pursed her lips for a second before she asked, “Did Third Brother Lu come?”

Upon hearing this question, Zi Yi knew that Zhang Yewei had come to inquire about Lu Yunxiao.

She looked at her expression and Zhang Yewei blushed in embarrassment.

How could Zi Yi not know of her intentions? However, she still nodded her head and said, “He came.”

Traces of delight surfaced in Zhang Yewei’s eyes.

Zi Yi didn’t withhold information and said, “He went to the God of Love and Marriage Temple.”

Zhang Yewei lowered her eyes and said shyly, “Ah, to think that someone like Third Brother Lu would also pray to the God of Love and Marriage.”

“You’ve met my younger brother before?”

Zi Yi found it strange. In the past, these women were all chasing after her man. Supposedly, Lu Yunxiao had always been away on missions and they had hardly seen him in person. Why were there suddenly so many young ladies who expressed their interest?

Zhang Yewei’s cheeks turned red. With her eyes lowered and looking a little embarrassed, she said, “Aunt Lu had sent a photo of Third Brother Lu to my family. At that time, I couldn’t come back in time for the dinner banquet hosted by your family.”

Zi Yi finally understood. So it turns out, she was someone personally picked by Mrs. Lu. Her character shouldn’t be a problem and so, Zi Yi said, “You can make your way to the God of Love and Marriage Temple to take a look. You might chance upon Yunxiao there.”

As to whether anything was possible between them, it’ll depend on their affinity.

Zhang Yewei nodded her head and looked at Zi Yi as she said, “Yiyi, thank you.”

Having said that, she stood up and headed outside.

Zi Yi looked at Zhang Yewei who helped her close the door. She propped her chin up with her hand and leaned her elbow on the table. At the thought that Yunxiao would be going far away soon, if he really does fancy someone, it’ll depend on whether the young lady could wait.

However, fate was something that cannot be controlled.

Zi Yi thought for a moment before she stood up and headed to the back hill.

Half an hour later, Lu Jingye came looking for her and he said in a helpless tone, “Yunxiao is gone again.”

Zi Yi actually thought of the reason in the very next second. “Don’t tell me he met Gu Xin and Zhang Yewei and both of them expressed their affection for him, and so he ran away in fear?”

“Mhmm.”

“…”

Zi Yi held her hand to her forehead and asked, “Where’s Mom?”

“Mom is with the two young ladies.”

Zi Yi could already imagine the scene of Lu Yunxiao getting scolded when they returned home.

…

Even until it was time to go back, Lu Yunxiao did not appear again.

Mrs. Lu was so angry and gave an ultimatum. “If he’s that capable, he better not let me see him appear in front of me. Otherwise, let’s see how I’ll take care of him! If he doesn’t like the other party, he can simply refuse them. What’s with his behavior of playing the disappearing act?”

Zi Yi hastily comforted Mrs. Lu. “Mom, don’t be angry. It must be that Yunxiao doesn’t know how to reject them and so, he decided to leave.”

“Hmph! How did I even give birth to such a wooden stick?!”

Mrs. Lu was worried to death.

Just as Zi Yi wanted to comfort Mrs. Lu again, her watch vibrated.

She tapped on her watch and Little Loli’s image appeared in front of her.

At the sight of Mrs. Lu, Little Loli sweetly greeted her. “Hello Auntie Lu~ I didn’t see you for a few days and yet you’ve become even more beautiful.”

Mrs. Lu was instantly delighted. “You little robot sure has a sweet mouth.”

“Hehe, I’m speaking the truth.” Little Loli turned to look at Zi Yi and got down to business. “Sister, those bars which were recently closed for renovation have all opened for business. They actually plagiarized our bar’s design.”

The more Little Loli said, the angrier she got. “I deliberately hacked into their surveillance cameras to take a peek, but they’re using real people to pretend to be robots!”

Zi Yi did not have much of a reaction upon hearing this piece of news. Instead, she asked, “Our bar has the feature of things flying in the air and the venue can be changed at any time. Can they do that at their bars?”

“They can’t.”

Zi Yi said with certainty, “Let’s just wait then. They will be in a miserable plight even before the tenth day of the New Year.”

Having said that, she suddenly had an idea. She turned around and said to Lu Jingye, “Ah Jing, I think that we can expand the bar.”

Lu Jingye immediately understood what she meant and nodded his head. “It just so happens that the bar next to your bar can be taken over for expansion.”

“That’s what I thought too!”

Thus, both of them happily agreed to it.

Zi Yi asked Little Loli another question, “Is there anyone who is still coming to our bar to look around in the past few days?”

“There have been a few, but they aren’t as obvious about it as they were in the past.”

“Ok. Pay more attention in the coming days. Country D should be sending some people over.”

“Got it.” Little Loli said, “A and I have already made plans and we can have fun with them when the time comes.”

Speaking of A, stars appeared in Little Loli’s eyes.

Mrs. Lu could not help but sigh at the sight of Little Loli. “Even robots know how to fall in love. That wooden stick of a son of mine can’t even compare to a robot.”
