Chapter 237 - Even If They Are Your Uncles, They Can’t Bully You (1/2)

After the meal ended, Zi Yi's uncles did not immediately leave.

In order to express their apology, the manager had personally served them their tea and desserts.

After the door was closed shut, Dou Jingning was the first to speak up. ”We've witnessed the whole process of your examination today. We are well aware of our niece's capabilities. Therefore… who are you?”

The moment he said that, Dou Zerui and Dou Xiangling looked at him in shock.

All three elders of the Dou Family had serious expressions on their faces. The sharpness contained in their gazes were as if they could see through Zi Yi's inner thoughts.

Zi Yi chuckled in response and calmly answered, ”If you don't think that I'm Zi Yi, then who am I?”

”I heard that Zi Xu had invested all his liquid funds and now those funds are tied up in unfruitful projects.. If I were to find out that Zi Xu arranged for you to approach and obtain something from us, don't blame me for being rude.”

”What can I obtain from you?”

Zi Yi cocked her head to the side while her smile deepened. ”Your reputation? So in order to make use of your reputation, I went to M.Uni and took the examination for eight different degrees? Since I am capable of such a feat, would I still need your reputation?”

Speaking of this, Zi Yi revealed traces of indifference. ”Since you've already done your investigation, you should know that I was chased out by Zi Xu. As for the reason behind it, I'm sure you are also well aware. Despite all that, I did not approach the Dou family. What do you think you possess that I would want to make use of?”

After she said that, she directly stood up.

”Thanks for the dinner. Goodbye.”

”Stop right there!”

Dou Jingning did not expect Zi Yi to have such a temper. He furrowed his brows and looked at her. ”Sit down.”

Zi Yi did not heed him. She remained standing and looked at him with her lips pursed.

Dou Jingning felt a sudden headache coming on.

He knew what she said was right. Most importantly, if that brother-in-law of theirs knew of Zi Yi's capabilities, he would never have chased her out and left her to her own devices.

His earlier question was asked out of instinct. He instinctively felt that their niece did not have such capabilities.

However, he could be sure right now. Zi Yi's stubborn character was exactly the same as before.

”I apologize for what I said earlier.”

Zi Yi never expected an apology from Dou Jingning and all of a sudden, her anger dissipated.

And so, she sat down. Then it was Dou Xiaoyong and Dou Zhiyuan's turn to ask questions.

Dou Xiaoyong asked, ”You never liked studying before. How did you suddenly get such good grades?”

Zi Yi's fingers tapped on the table and she answered in an unserious manner, ”Disliking studying doesn't mean I'm not good at studying. In any case, I have the Dou family's scholarly genes and as long as I wish to learn something, I will easily acquire proficiency.”

Dou Xiaoyong unexpectedly liked that answer of hers.

However, Dou Zerui who was sitting at the side while keeping quiet, had nearly spat out his tea.

Whereas Dou Xiangling did not know whether to laugh or cry.

They felt that their cousin was talking nonsense in a serious manner.

Dou Zhiyuan asked, ”Then why are you suddenly interested in studying? Moreover, you wish to take on so many different subjects.”

Zi Yi looked at the three of them and answered seriously, ”I like it.”

Zi Yi's three Uncles: ”…”

Just then, Zi Yi's phone suddenly received a notification. Taking a glance at it, it was unexpectedly from Lu Jingye.

Lu Jingye: [It's going to rain tonight. Don't stay out too long.]

Zi Yi smiled. She felt warm deep down inside.

Even when he was swamped with work, he would still send a message to remind her. Should she try to act cute with him?

Thinking of this, Zi Yi quickly typed a response: [I was captured by my big devilish Uncles. They are thinking of eating me.]

Lu Jingye: [Where are you?]

Zi Yi: [Are you coming to save me?]

Lu Jingye: [Yes. Even if they are your Uncles, they cannot bully you.]

The smile on Zi Yi's lips deepened and she gave him her current location.

Immediately after, she looked up while putting her phone down. Upon seeing five pairs of gazes locked onto her, she restrained her smile and looked back with a taut expression.

The Dou family members: ”…”

Why did they have a feeling that they were bad people?

Zi Yi said to her three Uncles, ”If you dislike me, you can just pretend that I don't exist.”
