Chapter 481: I’m Your Big Brother and You’re Hitting Me for an Outsider?
Everyone’s eyes subconsciously s.h.i.+fted to the man standing behind Zi Yi, who was radiating a sharp and chilly aura; he had a cold expression on his face.
The moment they saw who the other party was, their hearts dropped.
“Lu Yunxiao?”
Rick was the first one to speak.
Rick suddenly thought of the call he received in the past. The caller said that Lu Jingye was disguised as Lu Yunxiao and he was originally about to believe him, but he dismissed that idea after having seen Lu Yunxiao again.
The main difference between Lu Jingye and Lu Yunxiao was the aura they exuded.
One was n.o.ble and warm, and he had a temperament that naturally attracted others to him.
The other was cold and sharp, which made one’s hair stand on end. No one dared to approach him at all.
Lu Jingye gave him a chilly look before he turned to look at Lu Zhiheng.
Lu Zhiheng’s wrists nearly cracked from how tight Lu Jingye’s grip was. After the pain receded, he shouted at him angrily, “Third Brother, what do you think you are doing!”
“Beating you up.” His concise words caused everyone to subconsciously shrink back.
His cold tone was deeply rooted within him and only Lu Yunxiao was capable of saying such words.
After Lu Zhiheng heard what he said, he was somehow afraid.
He did not fear Lu Jingye, but he had an innate fear for Lu Yunxiao.
However, there were many people watching them and he felt that he had lost all face.
He felt angry and embarra.s.sed at the same time.
In the end, he gnashed his teeth in anger and growled at him. “Third Brother, I’m your Eldest Brother, and yet, you attacked me just because of an outsider?”
“She’s not an outsider.”
Lu Jingye remained silent after throwing those words. However, the powerful aura he released had frightened everyone present.
There were not many present who were unaware of Lu Yunxiao’s ruthlessness and skills.
Moreover, there was a saying that was circulated outside: ‘No matter who they offend, they must never offend Lu Yunxiao.’ He was an emotionless robot towards everyone except for his family.
Zi Yi smiled as she saw Lu Zhiheng’s ugly expression and she asked mockingly, “Eldest Young Master Lu, does your hand hurt?”
Lu Zhiheng glared at her with undisguised maliciousness radiating from his eyes.
Zi Yi pretended to be scared and moved behind Lu Jingye.
Lu Jingye raised his hand and made a gesture as if he was about to hit Lu Zhiheng.
Lu Zhiheng screamed in fright and unexpectedly, he hugged his head and squatted down.
The big shots who were spectating the scene: “…”
What a coward.
Lu Zhiheng also noticed his conditioned reflex. He was so embarra.s.sed that he turned a flushed red and fumed in anger. He hated Lu Jingye and Zi Yi even more right now.
Lu Jingye, just you wait. When I return, I’ll find a way to get grandfather to send Lu Yunxiao away. I’d like to see who else can help you then!
Thinking of this, Lu Zhiheng stood up and left with a dark expression.
Elson glanced at Rick when he saw Lu Zhiheng who left dispiritedly.
Rick pretended to be kind and asked Zi Yi, “Miss Zi, are you alright? I hope you weren’t frightened.”
The other people around them looked at Zi Yi who was hiding behind Lu Yunxiao and thought that she had been frightened.
Yet, they never expected Zi Yi to reveal an indifferent expression. She swept her gaze across everyone and the corner of her lips curled up as she said, “What were you about to talk about? We can continue now.”
Everyone blanked out momentarily.
Rick slightly squinted his eyes and looked towards Lu Jingye as he stretched out his hand. “h.e.l.lo Third Young Master Lu, your brother and I are good friends and if the opportunity arises, we should have a get-together next time.”
Lu Jingye’s sharp gaze swept across his hand and he did not have the slightest intention of stretching out his hand.
Rick’s smile stiffened. He did not expect Lu Yunxiao to be so rude.
Even though he was unhappy deep down, he still retracted his hand in a natural manner. “Since Third Young Master Lu is here to fetch Miss Zi, then let’s call it a day for the morning’s session. You can return and take a rest before continuing the afternoon session.”
Everyone looked at Lu Yunxiao who appeared to be a killing G.o.d as he stood there, and all of them agreed with him.
Zi Yi and Lu Jingye headed outside the stadium together.
Along the way, everyone had subconsciously made way for them.
After they left the stadium, everyone immediately started to discuss the situation.
Elson looked at the two departing back views with an expression of regret. “This person came at a bad time.”
Rick looked at him and an idea flashed past his eyes. He then inadvertently said, “Rather than taking her away through coercive means, why don’t you make her willingly come to you instead? At that time, even if Lu Jingye were to get angry, you would be an innocent party anyways.”
Elson’s eyes brightened at his words. “Your idea sounds pretty good.”
However, he was in a dilemma the next second. “If Lu Yunxiao were to continue following her throughout the afternoon, then I won’t have a chance.”
“Who says so? Get the organizing party to hold a dinner banquet tonight and that way everyone will be drinking when the time comes. Once someone gets intoxicated, wouldn’t anything be possible?”
…
Zi Yi put away her earpiece and looked at Lu Jingye who was radiating a murderous aura. She then grabbed his hand and said, “Since they have such plans, why don’t we play along and make them regret their actions?”
Lu Jingye lowered his head and looked at Zi Yi with his lips tightly shut.
Zi Yi lifted her hand to touch his face, but it was grabbed in the next second.
Lu Jingye said, “I will take care of these people.”
At the thought of how these people had designs on his girl, he wished that he could cripple them.
Thinking of this, a flicker of light flashed in his eyes and an idea came to his mind.
Zi Yi had also thought of an idea and she whispered in Lu Jingye’s ears about her plan.
Lu Jingye nodded his head. “Okay.”
Having said that, he drove out the car that was parked at a secluded corner.
When Zi Yi returned to the stadium in the afternoon, Lu Jingye used Lu Yunxiao’s ident.i.ty to openly follow her around.
This caused those people who greeted Zi Yi to feel fearful.
Zi Yi turned around and gave Lu Jingye a look.
Lu Jingye turned around and headed somewhere. In the end, he stopped at one of the corners.
Yang Li patted her chest and breathed out a sigh of relief as she asked, “Zi Yi, who is that handsome guy? He looks so cool.”
In actual fact, he looks frightening. However, she would not say these words right in front of Zi Yi.
“He’s my brother-in-law.”
“What?”
Yang Li thought that her ears had failed on her.
Zhang Lu subconsciously asked, “Zi Yi, you’re married?”
Zi Yi looked at their agitated behavior and calmly responded. “He’s my boyfriend’s younger brother.”
The two of them looked at each other and revealed a smile.
“For a moment I thought that you were married.”
“But then again, calling your boyfriend’s younger brother as brother-in-law doesn’t seem to be wrong either.”
Following that, Yang Li sneaked a peek at Lu Jingye standing in the corner and asked, “Zi Yi, what does that brother-in-law of yours do for a living? Isn’t he too aloof and cold?”
Zi Yi thought about the nature of Lu Yunxiao’s work and said, “He’s a bodyguard.”
“Eh? So he’s a bodyguard. No wonder he exuded such a strong aura. The people he protects must also be influential figures.”
“Yep.”
The three of them chatted for a while before they separated.
Yang Fangfang who was standing by the side looked at Zi Yi and felt even more jealous. However, she did not dare to have any designs on her.
With Lu Jingye standing guard at the side, no one dared to do anything to Zi Yi in the afternoon.
After the forum ended, the organizer smiled and announced. “Tonight, the organizing committee will be holding a dinner banquet. Do join us..”
