Chapter 758 - Enthusiastic Mrs. Lu
Chapter 758: Enthusiastic Mrs. Lu
??
There were all sorts of comments on the internet asking: ‘Why was the time used to shoot Zi Yi’s painting so short?’
Even though the shooting time was short, everyone watched it repeatedly.
They were still shocked by her paintings.
There were some who gained great insights from these paintings.
In short, everyone was highly impressed by her work.
Just then, a negative post typed out by Joseph, a famous oil painter in Country J, was uploaded onto the internet after the six hours was up. Originally, this type of critic-like post would not have attracted much attention.
However, Joseph had directly tagged Zi Yi and thus, it immediately became a trending word.
After everyone had seen the paintings exhibited by Zi Yi, Joseph’s social media account was bombarded by the netizens.
They started to compare Zi Yi’s and his paintings. All kinds of fierce remarks poured into his social media account at the comparison.
In the end, Joseph had been abused by the netizens so badly that he had deleted his account. As to how miserable he was, even if Zi Yi knew, she would have only heard about it without a care.
In any case, she doesn’t care.
While Zi Yi did not take it to heart, the group of second-generation rich kids who wanted her to suffer were extremely jealous.
“This woman really knows how to make herself popular. To think that through her art gallery she has been pushed into the spotlight again!”
“Lu Jingye must have been behind this. I heard from my father that Lu Jingye has been privately dealing with our families. F*ck! If only I had the ability! I really want to step on him and crush him under my feet!”
“Me too. If this continues, our families will definitely suffer. We cannot sit still and wait!”
“What should we do when our parents can’t even win against him?”
After a wave of silence.
“I feel that we can work together with Sister Qing and the rest to deal with Zi Yi. Ah Ming didn’t come back with Ah He and so something must have happened.”
“I don’t know what’s wrong with Ah He either. He hasn’t contacted us ever since he returned from abroad. We can’t even get in touch with him either.”
“Ah Ming didn’t come home and people from the Ouyang Family seemed to have gone looking for Ah He several times. Say, do you think Ah Ming was harmed by Lu Jingye?”
“I’m sure that’s the case. I heard that one of the biggest bosses that dealt with arms in the Bermuda Triangle had his stockade bombed. It was Lu Jingye who did it!”
“Sii… how ruthless!”
“If that’s the case, I’m pretty sure the culprit must be Lu Jingye. I wonder if Sister Qing knows of it?”
…
Everyone in the art gallery went to have lunch.
When Mrs. Lu left, she even specially invited the unmarried ladies who came to the art exhibition today to their family banquet.
“We will be holding a dinner banquet tonight at our place. Everyone is welcome to visit.”
Zi Yi looked at the particularly proactive Mrs. Lu and then at Lu Yunxiao who stood there with a straight face. She suddenly recalled what Anya said in the past that Lu Yunxiao would have rotten peach luck.
For tonight’s dinner banquet, Mrs. Lu would certainly want to invite the Dou Family members.
Looking at Mrs. Lu’s enthusiasm when she chatted with those unmarried ladies, the Dou Family had more or less guessed the reason.
Elder Dou was tired and obviously, he would not attend the banquet tonight.
The four males in the Dou Family did not like to participate in such noisy activities either.
The First Madam smiled and said, “We shall not attend, let the young ones go. It’s also good to make more friends.”
Second Madam agreed. “This type of dinner banquet is for young people and perhaps they might feel uncomfortable if we went.”
Third Madam said with a smile, “Yiyi, monitor them tonight. Drink less and talk more.”
Zi Yi could not help but laugh out loud.
The four (Dou Yunhao has a girlfriend and Dou Yue’er was still young) unmarried and single members of the Dou Family were greatly affected.
Dou Zerui touched his nose and said out of embarrassment, “Dear Mother, are you so unwilling to see us living leisurely and happily?”
The Third Madam looked at him and snorted. “I’m sick of looking at you. I need a daughter-in-law to help cleanse my poor eyes.”
Dou Zerui: “…”
Dou Xiangling, Dou Yurui, and Dou Muyang wisely chose to remain silent. They knew that it was best not to get involved at this moment, or else they would then become the focus of attention.
After the Dou Family left, the Nangong siblings remained.
Nangong Yu clearly had something to discuss with Zi Yi and so, the four of them went to a serene teahouse.
After the tea was served, Nangong Yu got straight to the point. “I made a trip to the laboratory during the holidays and the new hot weapons lab is in J Province. Right now…”
After he finished the basic introduction, he said, “The international situation is rather unstable right now. In particular, Country A has been extremely ambitious in the past two years. Not to mention, their hot weapons are the best in the world and our country’s technology is still a little lacking. Right now, several weapon series are being imported from other countries.”
Having said that, he looked at Zi Yi and Lu Jingye.
“The relevant personnel have researched the missile Junior Zi improved previously. However, they are unable to manufacture it even if they study the technology behind it. Therefore, we wish that you can head over to J Province with us, it’ll take three months max.”
Zi Yi furrowed her eyebrows. She had mentioned it before that she did not want to leave.
Nangong Yu guessed what she was thinking and said, “The higher-ups will pass on several big international projects to Mr. Lu next year and he should be very busy too.”
Zi Yi narrowed her eyes in displeasure.
She suddenly thought of something and touched her tummy as she said in a proud tone, “I’m pregnant and so I don’t think I’ll be able to go.” In order not to be trapped in that type of enclosed space, she felt that she could give being pregnant for nine months a try.
Nangong Yu’s expression stiffened. Sometime later, he said, “I miscalculated.”
“Hehe.”
Nangong Yu propped his head and said, “Since that’s the case, you won’t be able to head to the labs next year.”
Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of something and his lips curved up. “But you can have a video call with us. I’ll come and ask you about the stuff that we are stuck with.”
Zi Yi: “…”
Looking at Zi Yi acting as if she had eaten something bad, Nangong Yun sitting beside them could not restrain herself and burst out laughing.
Zi Yi turned to look at her.
Nangong Yun quickly put her smile away and said seriously, “In fact, we hoped that you would be able to personally visit the laboratory. But if you’re unable to come, we can only go with what my brother mentioned earlier. However…”
Speaking of which, she said angrily, “Country A has been running too rampant these days. I really wish that we can use the new weapon you created to make them stay still.”
As a cadet of the military school, Nangong Yun knew more than them and so, she hoped to diminish Country A’s arrogance.
Hearing her words, Zi Yi and Lu Jingye made eye contact.
Lu Jingye said, “What Country A has been researching in secret for the past several months in their secret base has made them arrogant. Moreover, the male worm is still alive.”
There were still dozens of child worms and perhaps they might have already entered the bodies of several important individuals.
“Next year, Yunxiao will cooperate with our country’s special forces and exterminate this group of bugs together.”
Zi Yi nodded her head and thought about preparing more invisible robots and special weapons for Yunxiao. On the surface, she did not make any comments.
The four of them sat in the teahouse for more than thirty minutes before they left.
When they came out of the shop, Zi Yi asked, “Are you two going to attend the dinner banquet at our place?”
Nangong Yu was just about to say that he was busy and wasn’t able to attend, when Nangong Yun took the opportunity to ask before he could, “Is tonight’s dinner banquet prepared for Instructor Lu?”
Mrs. Lu’s intentions were too obvious and before she left, she had even specially invited all the single ladies. Nangong Yun could not help but think of it in this way.
Zi Yi did not hide it from her either. “It can be considered to be so… but our family would not force things. If Yunxiao really does fall in love with someone, we’ll be very happy. However, if he doesn’t, it’ll just be an ordinary dinner banquet.”
After Zi Yi said that, she asked, “Sister Nangong, do you want to attend?”
Nangong Yun really wanted to attend. No matter if Lu Yunxiao liked her or not, she felt that she had to fight for it no matter what. “I’m attending.”
Nangong Yu looked at her with his mouth open but ended up keeping quiet.
“Then I’ll take my leave first. I’ll go home and change my clothes.” Since she was going to attend a dinner banquet, of course she would have to wear appropriate clothing. Not to mention, it was ‘that’ type of dinner banquet. Nangong Yun planned to go back home and dress up nicely.
