Chapter 305: We Wish to Borrow Money From You
Zi Yi took a day off at home and went to the racing club the next day.
Unexpectedly, Zhou s.h.i.+jin was not around.
Zi Yi was a little surprised and asked Robot B.
Robot B said, “Master, Zhou s.h.i.+jin took a leave.”
“Took a leave?” Zi Yi thought about it for a moment and knew what had happened.
Zhou s.h.i.+yu had committed such a great mistake this time around and he was most likely in a difficult situation. Even though these two brothers appear to be like enemies on the surface, they cared for each other.
Right now, Zhou s.h.i.+jin was certainly staying beside Zhou s.h.i.+yu.
Zi Yi thought about it for a moment and checked the Zhou Family’s current situation, only to find out that it was particularly bustling on their side.
Zi Yi was not a nosy person and her impression of the Zhou Family brothers wasn’t particularly very good.
She put her phone away and did a check throughout the club. At 4 p.m in the afternoon, she prepared to return.
However, just as she arrived at the parking lot outside the club, she found the Zhou brothers standing beside her racing car. They were clearly waiting for her.
Their current expressions were rather bad, especially Zhou s.h.i.+yu. He had stubble and his previous sharp appearance was long gone.
The moment they saw Zi Yi walking over, Zhou s.h.i.+yu subconsciously tightened his jaw and there was obvious reluctance in his eyes.
Zhou s.h.i.+jin called out to her, “Boss Zi.”
She approached them and asked Zhou s.h.i.+jin, “I heard you asked for leave?”
“That’s right.” There was no longer the previous aloofness in his eyes and instead, there were traces of melancholy. “We want to borrow some money from you.”
However, just as he said that, Zhou s.h.i.+yu softly shouted at him, “Zhou s.h.i.+jin, I’ve said that you don’t need to intervene in this matter!”
Zhou s.h.i.+jin did not even spare him a glance as he stared at Zi Yi. His hands subconsciously tightened due to nervousness.
Zi Yi looked at the two brothers and asked with an indifferent expression. “How much?”
Zhou s.h.i.+jin tightened his fist and said a sum after he seemed to have contemplated for a long time. “2 billion.”
Zi Yi coldly stared at him and Zhou s.h.i.+jin inexplicably felt a tense and suffocating feeling.
Zhou s.h.i.+yu’s eyes were red and he somehow felt embarra.s.sed. He pulled Zhou s.h.i.+jin forcefully and shouted at him, “I’ve said that you don’t need to intervene, did you not hear me? Do you think if you asked, she would lend the money?”
Before Zhou s.h.i.+jin spoke, Zi Yi had said honestly, “I won’t.”
The expressions of the Zhou brothers instantly changed.
She snorted and asked rudely, “We’re unrelated and you have caused me trouble, the few times we met. As for you, you’re my racer and yet, you always act so arrogantly before your boss. How much of a saint must I be to be lending you money?”
The both of them choked and they were speechless.
Zi Yi continued speaking, “More importantly, can you guarantee when you would return the money to me? I’ve heard that you incurred losses of 5 to 6 billion and what can you do with 2 billion?”
Zhou s.h.i.+yu instantly flushed red from embarra.s.sment.
He clenched his teeth and said, “Sorry for bothering you.”
Having said that, he turned around to leave.
“Ha!”
Zi Yi suddenly snorted.
She crossed her arms and said rudely, “No wonder you easily fell into another’s trap. You’re so impulsive and it’s a good thing that you lost the qualification of becoming the owner of the Zhou Group.”
Zhou s.h.i.+yu stiffened at her words. He clenched his fist and only turned around to stare at Zi Yi after enduring for a long time.
“You don’t know anything. What does an amateur know?”
Having said that, he strode away fuming in anger.
Zhou s.h.i.+jin looked deeply at Zi Yi before he chased after his brother.
Looking at the two figures walking away, Zi Yi snorted. She had already reminded Zhou s.h.i.+yu that he had fallen into a trap and yet, he did not respond.
“Ha, he’s taking my goodwill for ill intent.” After she said that, she headed for her car.
It was soon time for the freshmen to report to school.
Zi Yi woke up according to her normal schedule and unexpectedly saw Lu Jingye already sitting in the living room downstairs.
She walked downstairs in surprise. “Ah Jing, when did you come back?”
Lu Jingye had been staying in the company for the past few days. She was elated at the sight of him and directly pounced over after she asked the question.
Lu Jingye caught her and said seriously, “Today is the day you report to the university. Everyone else’s parents are sending them.”
Zi Yi sat on his legs and smiled as she hugged his neck. “Is Ah Jing intending to send me to M.Uni as my parent?”
“Do you want me to?”
“Yes.”
Zi Yi’s lips moved up.
Lu Jingye’s large hands held her head and when he tried to deepen the kiss, he suddenly heard footsteps sounds coming in from the outside.
He gave her two pecks and said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “Yiyi, someone’s coming.”
Zi Yi responded and thought that it was most likely the housekeeper. She did not even bother to get down from his legs and hugged his neck as she turned around.
When she saw the housekeeper leading Mrs. Lu inside, Zi Yi awkwardly blinked.
The next second, she saw Mrs. Lu suddenly turned away and said to the housekeeper seriously, “I seem to have left something in the car. Sigh, it’s easy to be forgetful when we get old. Come with me to get it.”
The housekeeper tactfully said, “Yes, Mrs. Lu.”
Following that, they turned around and headed outside.
When Zi Yi saw them leaving, she turned to look at Lu Jingye and suddenly buried her head into his shoulders in embarra.s.sment.
Lu Jingye’s eyes revealed traces of a smile. He did not expect her to have a moment where she was embarra.s.sed and whispered in her ears, “Let’s head out and fetch my mother.”
Zi Yi’s embarra.s.sment lasted for a few seconds before she raised her head and nodded.
She stood up and they headed to the courtyard.
Mrs. Lu and the housekeeper were standing near the entrance.
Mrs. Lu was asking the housekeeper, “What does Zi Yi like to eat?”
The housekeeper mentioned a few dishes.
Just as Mrs. Lu planned to continue asking, she saw the two walking out. She acted as if she had just seen them and slightly smiled at Zi Yi.
Zi Yi calmly called out, “Auntie Lu.”
She walked up to her and asked with a smile, “Auntie Lu, why have you come over so early in the morning?”
Mrs. Lu pointed to a bag in the housekeeper’s hands and said, “I heard that you will be reporting to M.Uni today and will be undergoing military training in a couple of days. I had specially ordered some sunscreen for you in advance and it arrived today, so I wanted to deliver it to you.”
Having said that, she looked at her white and tender face and said out of concern, “The sun will be very strong during the military training, so try not to get sunburnt.”
Zi Yi held Mrs. Lu’s hands. “Thank you, Auntie. Have you eaten yet?”
“No.”
“Then let’s have breakfast together?”
“Sounds good.”
The two of them headed inside the courtyard.
Lu Jingye looked at the two of them, who were getting along pretty well, and his eyes lit up with a smile. He looked at the cosmetics in the housekeeper’s hands and reached out. “Give it to me.”
The housekeeper handed him the cosmetics and went to order the kitchen to prepare breakfast for another serving.
