Chapter 105 - Invitations (1/2)
Xiong Zhi pitied Lu Yin Ze and gave him advice.
”You should give up.”
Lu Yin Ze's silver eyes opened wide.
”G-give up what?” Lu Yin Ze tried to calm himself. He was not prepared. Should he invite them now? But there's an additional person that was not invited.
Xiong Zhi nod at Gu Zhen's direction.
Lu Yin Ze was confused.
'What does it mean?'
Should he invite Gu Zhen as well?
'Well, it's alright to invite him too..'
”Song Xuantin is madly in love with Gu Zhen. You don't stand a chance. It's better if you don't break the couple. You'll only get hurt. ” Xiong Zhi sincerely pitied Lu Yin Ze. But she personally thinks its better for him to learn about it as early as now.
'HAAAAAAAAA?????'
Lu Yin Ze has a blank face.
'What's that all about?'
Xiong Zhi saw how life left Lu Yin Ze.
This pitiful child who was suicidal a month ago got his heartbroken. Xiong Zhi sincerely hope he would not take this blow too much.
”You're still young. A Lu at that. For sure, you'll find the right person for you.”
She comforted Lu Yin Ze.
Lu Yin Ze was really confused. He tried to understand what Xiong Zhi was talking about.
Then he noticed how Xiong Zhi looked at Song Xuantin and Gu Zhen then to him with pity.
'Wait.'
He finally understands it.
Lu Yin Ze laughed.
”You're mistaken. I don't have any feelings towards her. She's only a friend.”
Lu Yin Ze actually wanted to say that he doesn't have a choice but to accept Song Xuantin as his friend since that girl was Xiong Zhi's only friend.
Xiong Zhi just looked at him. Her eyes were still pitying him but she nodded.
”I understand.”
Lu Yin Ze felt like there's something wrong.
Then he remembered the talked yesterday.
”Oh. Yesterday you ask me about the land we acquired recently. I asked grandfather about it.”
Xiong Zhi was stunned.
'Grandfather...the Master Lu?'
”He told me that my brother purchased it under Lu's name. It belongs to my brother now.”
Xiong Zhi was silent.
She knew there are two young masters in the Lu family. However, she was not clear about the internal struggles in the Lu Family.
But based on Lu Yin Ze expression, it seems like he and his brother don't have a close relationship.
”I see. Thank you for telling me this.” Xiong Zhi appreciates Lu Yin Ze's effort for this.
”I only ask my grandfather about it. Too bad though, I can only give you that much.”
Xiong Zhi shook her head to indicate it was alright and it's enough. She was only curious. It turned out a young master of Lu owned it. Now it's more clearer for her that they would really have no chance to get the land.
”I'm surprised your grandfather give you the information. Does he know that you will tell it to me?”
Lu Yin Ze smiled.
”Nah. My grandfather knows I am your friend. It's not a big deal to him. ” Then Lu Yin Ze suddenly thought that it might not be the case to Xiong Zhi.
Suddenly, the courage he was gathering up to invite Xiong Zhi was losing again.
'Should I..?'
'Should I not..?'
Then Lu Yin Ze tried to test the water first.
”Uhm. What you're gonna do this weekend?”
Xiong Zhi checked her phone while she answered.
She would go to SHM - meeting
IHZHI - meeting
The investors- meeting
then with,
Linfeng - meeting <3
”Meeting. A lot of meetings.”
Lu Yin Ze's courage was dragged down to zero.
”Oh. You're so busy haha.” He awkwardly laughed. He put his hands to cover his blazer's pocket.
”Yeah. Why asking?” Xiong Zhi put down her phone and turned to Lu Yin Ze.
”Oh. It's nothing. ” He put up a smile to put away the disappointment he was feeling inside.
He stands up.
”I'll go first.” He then went away. His hands were still covering his blazer's pocket.
Xiong Zhi was a bit baffled.
Then her phone rang.
Xiong Zhi taps the answer button and waits for the other person to talk.
”Ms. Xiong Zhi?” It was Mr. Bang.
Xiong Zhi was silent for a moment. She did not expect that Mr. Bang already thought it out.
”Yes.”
”Ah. Sorry to suddenly call you. I think I need to tell you as soon as possible of what I decide.”
”Mhhm.”
”I want to take your offer.”
Xiong Zhi smiled. She did not doubt it.
”That's good to hear. I'll make sure you will not regret it. I'll notify you of our next meeting after school.”
”I'll wait for it. Thank you, Ms. Xiong Zhi, for giving me the chance.”
”Let's work hard.”
