C8 She also Had a Bit of Pride Hidden Deep in Her Bones

Unlike Lu Shaoqian and Zuo Yi, Zuo Linyi was impatient and kept a close eye on Lu Shaoqian and Zuo Yi's movements.

— — Lu Shaoqian helped Zuo Yihua pick out a lot of clothes and even took Zuo Yi to eat.

It was just like what Lu Shaoqian had told him at Zuo Family. Of course, Zuo Linyi didn't forget to get people to notice their expressions, and the people he sent out gave them the answer: "Miss and Lu Shaoqian are like a loving couple."

Zuo Linyi didn't pay attention to the first half of the sentence. Instead, he was extremely nervous of the word "husband and wife". What kind of husband and wife could Lu Shaoqian and Zuo Yi be? As he thought about this, the anger in his heart started to rise. He actually swept all the items on the desk to the ground.

"Investigate, investigate Lu Shaoqian's purpose for getting close to my daughter!" Zuo Linyi was angered.

How could he not understand that Lu Shaoqian was purposely putting on an act for him to see!

Zhao Yahui stood at the door of the study room and pursed her lips. This was the second time she had seen him so angry since she started following Zuo Linyi. The first time was because of the woman's death, and this time it was because of Zuo Yi, the little bitch! Looking at the fragments on the ground, Zhao Yahui suddenly thought of the past, which had once sunk so deep into the sea.

… ….

This was a famous restaurant in City Z with a quiet environment. More importantly, the restaurant staff handled the situation well and wouldn't let the paparazzi in. Even if they did come in, they wouldn't be able to take out the photos they took.

After they sat down, Lu Shaoqian picked up the menu and asked lightly: "What would you like to eat, order by yourself."

"I won't choose." People in Z city ate spicy food. As long as there were chili peppers, Zuo Yi could eat them all.

Lu Shaoqian smiled and said in a softer voice, "It's quite easy to raise."

"..." What did he take her for? Zuo Yi was displeased. From the time she served the dishes to the time she finished eating, Zuo Yi had not said a single word to Lu Shaoqian.

There was once a classmate who said: If you want to provoke her, don't provoke Zuo Yi, because she was a person who held a grudge.

When Lu Shaoqian decided to start from Zuo Yi, Lu Shaoqian had already investigated everything about Zuo Yi. How could Lu Shaoqian not know about this? Lu Shaoqian wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin and elegantly said, "We'll leave after eating."

"Yes." Zuo Yi responded with an indifferent tone before standing up and saying, "I'm going to the washroom."

After he finished, he walked around Lu Shaoqian without any reply or expression. She did it on purpose, how could Lu Shaoqian not know?

Zuo Yi stayed in the bathroom for a long time, leaning against the wall, playing with the new phone that Lu Shaoqian bought for her. At that time, she had seen them leave because they didn't like it, so she didn't know the price of the phone.

Three thousand yuan was neither high nor low. She would take out the money later and give it to him. Zuo Yi was a prideful girl in her bones, she wouldn't owe others anything.

Zuo Yi didn't turn back until the word "sick" flashed on the screen of her phone.

"Why didn't you pick up the phone and hang up?" The moment she walked into the room, Lu Shaoqian threw her these words.

Zuo Yi pursed her lips, raised her head and met Lu Shaoqian's gaze. With a casual tone, she said, "I'm already here, why are you still picking me up? What was he saying on the phone? Wasn't it what was being said here? "Since you're out, let your men drive to the nearest ATM. I'll pay you back the money you bought for your clothes."

Hearing that, Lu Shaoqian was silent for a while. He clasped his hands behind his back and looked at Zuo Yi. Being stared at like that, he didn't feel anything. Lu Shaoqian smirked as he explained: "Do you think that your wife needs to return the money she borrowed from her husband, or do you want your father to know that we're not sincere?"

Zuo Yi's heart was stirred up by Lu Shaoqian's words. He said that his wife and husband were not real, but that they had benefits. Zuo Yi was shocked by Lu Shaoqian's words. She didn't understand what Lu Shaoqian thought of this marriage. The latter point, she knew, was also worrying.

"Then I'll give it to you after a while. Don't you have to pay back the money that you owe?" Besides, you and I are just strangers. Zuo Yi didn't finish her sentence. That's right, she defined Lu Shaoqian as a stranger. So what if Lu Shaoqian helped her up on the day of the banquet?

They were people from two different worlds. In the future, they wouldn't even be able to walk the same path. Lu Shaoqian would undoubtedly forget about her, and she would also forget about his help in the changing circumstances.

Lu Shaoqian's left hand accurately slipped into his pants pocket. Under the light of the lamp, his black pupils were burning brilliantly. He walked towards Zuo Yi with big steps and said lightly, "Let's go. We'll leave this for later." After saying that, she placed her right hand gracefully on her waist, indicating for Zuo Yi to hold onto her arm.

Zuo Yi didn't say anything. She just put her hand on his chest and kept up with his footsteps.

He had only walked a few steps when he stopped. The reason was that a beauty was walking over from the opposite side. Tiantian called out, "Shao Qian."

She was indeed a beauty, with long hair like seaweed, a fair and plain face, and dressed in beautiful new clothes. This form of address really suited her.

"En, I didn't expect to meet you here." Lu Shaoqian said with a smile.

He should be smiling, otherwise why would his tone be so gentle? Zuo Yi started to guess the relationship between Lu Shaoqian and this beauty. Lovers, lovers, or.

"Let's go." While Zuo Yi was still in a daze, Lu Shaoqian hit her next door with his hand. Although the impact wasn't too strong, it still made her feel a little pain. Zuo Yi frowned. She was going to say something, but she thought better of it. She had nothing to do with Lu Shaoqian. What right did she have to say it?

Outside the restaurant, Gu Yuan had already opened the car door quickly when he saw their figures. Lu Shaoqian let go of his hand and got into the car. Zuo Yi followed closely after.

As Gu Yuan started the car, Lu Shaoqian said to Zuo Yi, "When I was talking to that woman just now, what were you doing and what were you thinking about?" He had to change his state of mind when he was in a trance.

"... You don't need to care about what I'm doing, what I think is my freedom of thought, do you? " Zuo Yi was speechless. He was talking to a woman over there, so couldn't she think about it? Zuo Yi felt that Lu Shaoqian was becoming more and more worthy of the title "Nutty".

"Well, it is indeed none of my business."

When Zuo Yi saw him nod in agreement, she thought to herself: It's good to have this self-knowledge.

But the next second, Lu Shaoqian's words shattered Zuo Yi's thoughts. Lu Shaoqian smirked and laughed: "Although it's a hidden marriage, you have the identity of Mrs. Lu in front of your family. You can't do something impolite, can you? "I feel like I can help you reverse the case, but you only gave me so little benefits. How about I add a few more rules?"

Look at how grand this excuse is. But Zuo Yi restrained herself from laughing. She couldn't possibly cry, so she smiled and said, "Tell me, I'm listening."

"I'll print it out when we get back. Just look at it, Gu Yuan. Hurry up."

"..." Zuo Yi was speechless.

When Zuo Yi saw the documents that Lu Shaoqian typed, she even had the urge to kill. What did it mean by she was angry, what did it mean she didn't know etiquette, and so on, there were no less than 10 of them. But Zuo Yi could not be angry, she was now below. She closed the file and pursed her lips.

"You think it's too little?" As he said that, Lu Shaoqian took the documents from Zuo Yi's hands, indicating that he wanted to add a few more copies.

Zuo Yi snatched it away. "No need, it's enough."

Seeing Zuo Yi like this, Lu Shaoqian couldn't help but laugh. He was happy in his heart: "En, since you have no objections, remember to wake up early tomorrow. I'll bring you back to the Lu residence to meet my parents."

Zuo Yi nodded and left with the documents in her hands.

… ….

The old Lu Family Residence was located in the eastern suburbs of the north part of the city.

Zuo Yi looked out of the window and paid attention. She had lived in this city for so many years, but she had never had a good look. The skyscrapers were erected layer by layer, and on some of the floors there were advertisements for female celebrities. In Zuo Yi's mind, there was a single word: "colorful".

Isn't it?

When she went to the village, the boy would sweetly call her "Zuo", but unfortunately, time flew by quickly. Back then, the people had their own circle, so they didn't disturb her.

"What are you thinking about?" According to the investigation, Zuo Yi sat near the window at school and would often look out of the window in a daze. Such people often had very heavy hearts.

Zuo Yi shook her head. "It's nothing. How much longer do we have?" That's right, she wasn't willing to tell others what she was thinking. This was also the reason why Zuo Linyi didn't notice anything abnormal about her Zuo Family for so many years. If he was, he would have found out by now, right? Why wait for her to say it?

More importantly, she had nothing to do with Lu Shaoqian.

"You can't show that kind of expression again after meeting my parents. Although the old man won't say anything, will the old lady know?"

Zuo Yi nodded to Lu Shaoqian's warning.

After entering the gate, the most eye-catching things would be the garden and the pond. The luxuriant flowers were reflected on the sparkling water surface, causing the fish to play around out of curiosity, making people feel relieved.

Lu Shaoqian led Zuo Yi through the pebbles and up the stairs.

In the living room, Wen Miaoci sat on the sofa with the famous yellow plum opera "The Prince Consort's Horse" on the TV. Beside the sofa, Lu Xingyun was sitting with a pot of tea in front of him.

Before the incident, Lu Shaoqian only knew how to talk to them, so he didn't feel surprised at all. Wen Miaoci stood up, smiled, and politely came up and said: "Zuo Zuo, come. Sit down and eat some fruits first." After saying that, she pulled Zuo Yi to sit on the sofa.

A long conversation was unavoidable. Lu Shaoqian walked over to Lu Xingyun and poured himself a cup of tea, saying, "Dad, how about we compare notes and play chess?"

"Let's go." Lu Xingyun stood up.

How could he not know what his son was thinking?

Wen Miaoci asked Zuo Yi, "Zuo is in school for this half year, right? Are you planning on studying abroad after graduation?"

"I don't plan to." Zuo Yi answered honestly, not because of her relationship with Lu Shaoqian at this time, but because she had never considered it before.

Wen Miaoci said, "Then which company do you plan to go to? Zuo Zuo should be studying art, right?"

Zuo Yi nodded, she had never thought about what Wen Miaoci had said before. When she first learned this, one reason was to learn it for hobby, two reason was to avoid Zuo Family, and she didn't want to live in that kind of oppressive place.
