523: Grandfather Knows of Our Wedding

Grandfather Knows of Our Wedding

As soon as Dean Zhou sent the message to the group, the entire circle that consists of the higher ups in M.Uni had exploded.

The Dean of the School of Foreign Language typed: "What? Student Zi is getting married? Has she reached the age to be legally married yet?"

The Dean of the School of Science and Technology replied: "Even if she's not of legal age yet, can't she just get married in advance[1] and get the marriage certificate at a later date?"

The Dean of the School of Information Technology also sent a message saying: "Student Zi has taken up some modules from our school and I feel that she should invite me to her wedding too."

The Dean of the School of Information Systems chimed in with a response: "I wonder which school Student Zi is heading to. I plan to go have a discussion with her about something."

…

By the time Zi Yi arrived at the Dean's office of the School of Medicine, before she even had the chance to speak, Dean Wu approached her with a kind smile as he asked, "Student Zi, I heard that you're getting married on the 24th of this month?"

When Zi Yi was still wondering how did the news spread around so quickly…

Dean Wu's smile seemed friendlier than before. "Student Zi, you are the pride of our School of Medicine and you have won such a great honor for our medical school. If you are getting married, it's basically one additional happy event after another. Would you be welcoming of me to attend your wedding banquet?"

Zi Yi said with a little hesitancy, "…Yes, of course."

"That's great. When is your wedding banquet being held? Will it be held during the afternoon or evening? It's so that I can make arrangements in advance."

Zi Yi did not immediately answer Dean Wu's question but instead, she asked one of her own, "Dean Wu, how did you know that I'm getting married?"

Dean Wu smiled and showed his computer display to Zi Yi.

Zi Yi propped her hand on his office desk and took a look.

There was currently a heated discussion amongst the members in the group chat on how to locate Zi Yi right now.

Zi Yi looked away from the screen and said, "I have to discuss this matter with Ah Jing."

There were many deans in M.Uni and all of them had possessed great influence. She had to inform Ah Jing of this matter first.

"Of course, Student Zi, you can give Little Lu a call right away." Dean Wu was even more active than Zi Yi.

She nodded her head and took out her phone to give Lu Jingye a call.

"Ah Jing, there are quite a number of Deans in M.Uni who said that they will be coming to our wedding."

There were traces of a smile in Lu Jingye's tone of voice. "Sure. We'll definitely welcome them. I'll get my mother to prepare more invitations then."

Zi Yi's lips curved up at his words. "Ok, then I'm hanging up~"

"Yiyi, hold on." Lu Jingye stopped her.

"Is there anything else?"

Unexpectedly, Lu Jingye was silent for a few seconds before he spoke. "Grandfather knows of our marriage."

As soon as Zi Yi heard that, she seemed to have guessed something. "Is he thinking of interfering again?"

Lu Jingye told her about what Mrs. Lu had conveyed to him earlier.

Zi Yi coldly snorted. "So be it that we won't hold the wedding banquet there. Since that's the case, we'll hold an even larger-scale wedding. When the time comes, those without invitations are not allowed to attend our wedding."

Does he honestly think that he could make things difficult for her?"

Lu Jingye was silent again for several seconds, when he suddenly said, "Yiyi, I'm sorry."

Zi Yi was not fond of hearing such words from him. "You're not in the wrong. He's your Grandfather and you can't possibly oppose him. However, I'm different. Since he doesn't recognize this daughter-in-law, then there's no need for me to be nice to him."

Lu Jingye said, "We'll hold the wedding in the villa in front of ours. My Mother and your Aunts will be there in advance to prepare."

Zi Yi said, "Okay."

Lu Jingye then added. "Confirm the number of attendees first. We'll fill in the invitations later."

Zi Yi once again agreed and said, "Okay."

After they finished discussing this topic, they ended the call.

Only then did Zi Yi answer Dean Wu's question.

Dean Wu was also aware of Lu Jingye's situation. As the Dean of M.Uni, what he disliked the most was how Patriarch Lu did things and so, he said, "Student Zi, don't worry. You are a student of our M.Uni and it's not up to a martial man to bully you."

Zi Yi smiled and nodded her head.

Dean Wu passed her the two certificates and said the same thing as Dean Zhou.

By the time Zi Yi came out of the School of Medicine building, she received a phone call from the headmaster.

"Student Zi, come over to my office for a moment."

Zi Yi responded with an 'ok'. After hanging up the phone, she headed to the headmaster's office.

By the time Zi Yi came out from the headmaster's office, she had already been pulled into the group chat of the higher-ups in M.Uni.

For a moment, her screen was flooded with numerous people tagging her.

Zi Yi took a glance and all the messages were from those who said that they will be coming to attend her wedding banquet.

Her lips curled up and she typed her response. "Everyone is welcome."

Only then was everyone satisfied and she did not get tagged anymore.

She then gave Elder Tang and Elder Gu a call.

…

The news of Zi Yi and Lu Jingye holding a wedding was soon known by the entire high-society circle of the capital.

At the same time, everyone also knew that Patriarch Lu did not allow them to hold their wedding at Lu Jingye's father's house.

For a moment, everyone was gloating behind their backs.

"There's going to be a good show."

"Second Brother is finally now not so unsurpassable. Say, if we encounter him in the future, should we continue calling him Second Brother or should we call him Mr. Lu?"

"The one who was capable enough to make us call him Second Brother is that same Lu Jingye who had everything in his grasp throughout the entire business industry.

However, I heard that he's basically staying at that small courtyard of Zi Yi's every day now though, and even if we want to address him, we won't even have the chance to see him."

"That's right. Second Brother has now just become a legend and right now, there's only Mr. Lu that remains."

"Who knows where the small courtyard of Zi Yi's is? Why don't we organize a group to visit Mr. Lu?"

"I'm not going. I heard that the courtyard is full of robots and they are not humanized at all. What if those robots are activated into battle mode? Won't we be at a great disadvantage?"

"It's rare that we could finally be on the same level as Second Brother and I will feel uncomfortable if I don't show myself in front of him."2

"Me too. Why don't we think of a way to make the both of them head to the [Futuristic] bar?"

"That's a good idea. At the very least, we can have a drink together."

"That's right. They would have to invite us to their wedding then and if they let us have a good time, we can consider whether we would be attending or not."

"Hahahaha…"

…

At the same time, the other major families also knew about this.

They felt that as long as they did not attend Lu Jingye's wedding, they would be telling the whole world that Lu Jingye was no longer a member of high society.

"A man who's kicked out of the family by Patriarch Lu doesn't have the qualification to make us attend his wedding."

…

Other than these people, the news had also soon entered the ears of He Fei and Ouyang Ming who were at the Bermuda Triangle.

Both of them were located in the territory of one of the big shots and that person was the person they would be collaborating with.

The two of them were standing on the balcony on the second floor of a small building while they smoked.

"Say, Old He. Is your smoking addiction getting stronger these days? It's only been such a short time and yet, you've smoked half a cigarette more than me." Ouyang Ming glanced at the cigarette butts scattered at their feet and he clicked his tongue.

He Fei could not be bothered to even look at him. After he finished the last cigarette and rubbed the cigarette butt on the balcony's railing, he threw it on the ground. Seemingly having made up his mind, he said, "I'm returning to the capital tomorrow."
