The phone call was from Zi Yi. 

After noticing that Dou Xiangling had not returned her call, Zi Yi called again around half an hour later. 

The call finally connected. 

Zi Yi hastily asked, “Cousin, what were you doing earlier? You didn’t answer when I called you.” 

A gentle, smiling voice sounded from the other end.
“My classes just ended and my phone was in the office.” 

However, Zi Yi detected a slight trace of unusualness within her tone.
“Why are you panting? Is your body feeling uncomfortable?” 

“No, it isn’t.
Teacher Wang and I had carried quite the load of art supplies earlier and I am just feeling a little tired.” 

Zi Yi believed her words and asked with concern, “I heard from Ian that your complexion didn’t seem well these days.
Make a trip to my place later, I’ll give you a full-body check-up.” 

“There’s no need,” Dou Xiangling said, “I’m perfectly fine.
It’s just that the thought of you getting married soon made me unable to sleep and that’s why my complexion seemed a little off.” 

Zi Yi was amused by her words.
“Are you feeling reluctant because you realized that I’m getting married earlier than you and that you have become a leftover, old lady?” 

Dou Xiangling smiled and scolded Zi Yi.
“You naughty girl.
I’m only 23 and it’s still far from being a leftover, old lady.
I’m just thinking that you’re getting married at such a young age and wondering if you will suffer because of that?” 

“No way,” Zi Yi said, “In any case, I will end up marrying Ah Jing.
Getting married early or later on is the same, so why not get married early?” 

Dou Xiangling lightly chuckled.
“You’re good at reasoning.” 

She then continued to speak.
“I’m going to organize the painting tools now and you should also be rather busy too.
You should go ahead and do your work.” 

Zi Yi said, “Alright.
Then will you be coming over tomorrow?”

Dou Xiangling reminded her.
“You’re the one that is coming to my house tomorrow.” 

This was a wedding custom.
The female party had to stay with her maiden’s family the day before the wedding. 

Zi Yi giggled and said, “Then I’ll see you tomorrow.” 

“Okay.” 

After hanging up the phone, Dou Xiangling felt anxious deep down. 

She understood her cousin well.
If Zi Yi were to discover that something had happened to her, she would definitely focus on her instead.

Her sixth sense told her that the illness she had was incurable. 

If it was an incurable illness, it would definitely affect her cousin’s mood during the wedding. 

At the thought of this, Dou Xiangling planned to secretly get her hands on some pills for the heart. 

… 

Back over on Zi Yi’s side. 

During this period of time, Zi Yi’s Uncles and Aunts would often come over and join Mrs.
Lu in organizing the wedding venue preparations. 

Today was no exception. 

Everyone had dinner together in the villa and after dinner, the First Madam asked Zi Yi, “Yiyi, why don’t you return with us tonight?” 

Before Zi Yi had the chance to answer, the Third Madam laughed and said, “Yiyi would definitely say no.” 

Zi Yi nodded sincerely.
“Third Aunt understands me the best.”

The Second Madam nodded her head and chided with a smile.
“You child.
So what if you returned with us a night in advance? You’ll be able to accompany your Grandfather too.” 

Zi Yi said in all seriousness, “I can also accompany Grandfather often in the future.
I’ll be getting married soon and I’m worried that Ah Jing might be nervous.
I have to help him with some ideological work.” 

“Pft-” 

Not only were her four Aunts amused by what she said, but even Mrs.
Lu also laughed. 

Zi Yi’s Fourth Aunt said, “You just can’t bear to be separated from Little Lu and so you came up with such a righteous excuse.
In my opinion, Little Lu isn’t nervous at all.” 

“He is.” 

Zi Yi tilted her head and looked at Lu Jingye standing next to her and asked him, “Ah Jing, are you nervous?” 

​​​Lu Jingye’s lips curved up as he nodded.
“Yes, I’m nervous.” 

Zi Yi’s eyes turned into crescent moons.
“See, Ah Jing himself admitted that he’s nervous.” 

Her four Aunts did not know whether to laugh or cry. 

Zi Yi’s Eldest Aunt said, “So be it then, but do come over early tomorrow.
Don’t come over only when it’s late afternoon.” 

Zi Yi, who originally had that plan in mind, could only nod her head.
“Got it.” 

Only then did her four aunts take their leave. 

Mrs.
Lu held Zi Yi’s hand and gently patted her as she said, “Don’t be anxious to rush when you’re with the Dou Family.
You’re only staying for a night and Jingye will be coming over to fetch you the day after.” 

Zi Yi nodded her head.
“Got it, Mom.” 

Sounds of a car honking were heard from outside the door.
Clearly, Lu Jianlin was here to fetch Mrs.
Lu.

The three of them went out together. 

Lu Jianlin got out from the car and said to Lu Jingye, “I heard that some guests came today.
Have you made arrangements for them?” 

“Father, rest assured that I have arranged everything.” 

Lu Jingye did not send out invitations to the outside circle, but many foreign CEOs had arrived today.
Since they were already here, he could not possibly ignore them. 

Lu Jianlin nodded his head.
“There will definitely be many guests who are not on the list.
You had better take them into consideration.” 

“I will.
I have made reservations in the hotel and once they are here, there will be seats for them there.” 

These people were obviously there to see the attitude the Country had towards him.
Even though he would not shut out these uninvited guests on his wedding day, he could not possibly invite them over either. 

Lu Jianlin was relieved with these arrangements. 

… 

The news that many CEOs from large international groups had suddenly arrived in the Country, was spread around very quickly. 

For a moment, the business circle and the high society circle started to get busy. 

Even Lu Zhiheng, who had not made any accomplishments and instead caused the company to suffer great losses had set his sights on several bigshots.
His confidant had even come up with ideas for him.

“These people must be here to attend Second… that person’s wedding.
Eldest Young Master, you are his cousin and it would definitely be easier for you to meet them when compared to others. 

The news of Patriarch Lu chasing Lu Jingye out of the family was no secret.
These people pretended not to know and were willing to accept Lu Zhiheng’s invitation.
But in actual fact, what they wanted to confirm was that Lu Jingye really did not intend to care about the Lu Group. 

In addition, they wanted to see how capable Lu Zhiheng was. 

Everyone was rather interested in the many projects that Lu Jingye had taken on in the past.

If Lu Jingye really has no intentions of interfering, then don’t blame them for being impolite. 

On the night of the 22nd, those people who planned to invite those CEOs over, discovered that Lu Zhiheng had gone ahead of them and already invited them. 

Lu Zhiheng had opened a dinner party at a seven star hotel. 

During the dinner party, the guests started talking about the international economy before they started to praise Lu Zhiheng and he instantly became complacent and fell into their trap.

One of them said, “Lu Group is such a large organization and Eldest Young Master Lu had been able to manage it well.
It proves that you’re not inferior to Second Young Master Lu.
If the opportunity arises in the future, we should definitely collaborate.” 

Someone else said, “I heard that the Lu Group has taken on several large international projects.
Eldest Young Master Lu is certainly capable, to have successfully gained those projects.” 

… 

Lu Zhiheng was smiling so widely that his lips were about to reach his ears. 

When he heard everyone praising him, he unconsciously drank more than usual and revealed things. 

When Lu Zhiheng’s confidant saw that he was about to reveal important information, he got so anxious that he started sweating. 

He hastily went over and reminded Lu Zhiheng.
“Eldest Young Master, you’ve had too much to drink.” 

Lu Zhiheng was currently in the moment and he glared at him discontentedly.
“Am I someone who can’t gauge whether I have drunk too much or not?” 1

He then turned around and continued revealing important information. 

His confidant was so anxious that he even had the thought of knocking Lu Zhiheng out and carrying him away. 

“Dear Young Master, if you continue carelessly revealing such private information, those large projects will soon fall into other people’s hands.”
