“Sure.”

Lu Zhi took the pen and signed his name on the contract before he pushed the document back to Xiao Yeyu.

Xiao Yeyu was about to sign her name when Xiao Xishan secretly pulled her back, signaling her to reconsider.

They did not have to work with the Lu family. It was the same if they worked with someone else.

Furthermore, the only reason he was willing to partner Lu Corporation at a loss was so that Yeyu could marry Lu Zhi.

Now that there was no hope, it was better to avoid losses by walking away from the deal.

Xiao Yeyu subtly pulled her father’s hand away and signed her name resolutely. She tidied up the papers and said with a smile, “Mr. Lu, it’s a pleasure working with you.”

“Looking forward to a fruitful collaboration.” Lu Zhi’s calm expression was unchanged as he stood up and instructed Ah Man, “Please take care of the remaining work.”

“Yes, sir.” Ah Man nodded.

Lu Zhi settled the business matter efficiently and bid farewell to the Xiao father and daughter.

He was about to leave with Jiang Yining when Xiao Yeyu asked gently, “It’s dinner time. Would Mr. and Mrs. Lu give us the honor by joining us for a celebratory dinner?”

Lu Zhi never liked to socialize.

Besides, this contract was not a big deal, so there was no need to flatter him.

“I don’t have time today. Let’s do it another day.”

He had tactful rejected her invitation.

Xiao Yeyu’s eyes were filled with disappointment.

“Let’s go.” Lu Zhi took Jiang Yining’s hand and strode off.

Ah Man picked up the papers. After confirming that everything was in order, she gave an informal bow and said, “Miss Xiao, I’ll have to trouble you in the future.”

“I’ll be the one troubling you,” Xiao Yeyu replied politely. “By the way, may I ask, which family is Mrs. Lu from? Why haven’t I heard anyone mention her before?”

Ah Man immediately understood what Miss Xiao was thinking.

It was the CEO’s fault for being too charming. There were always a few women eyeing him.

She had been CEO Lu’s assistant for so many years, so she knew what she should and should not say.

“I’m sorry, I have no comment.”

Xiao Yeyu knew how to conduct herself, so she immediately said, “I’ve said too much. I’m just curious. CEO Lu’s marriage is a big deal but there’s actually no news in the outside world. I hope you don’t mind.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Ah Man didn’t expose her lie. She just packed up and left silently.

Seeing that people from the Lu family had all left, Xiao Xishan finally asked, “Ah Yu, are you still not giving up? He is already married. Why do we need to work with the Lu family at a loss?”

The estimated loss from this cooperation was close to 10 million yuan.

That would be their hard-earned money.

He really couldn’t bear it.

Xiao Yeyu held her father’s arm and said, “Dad, married people get divorced all the time. Even if they refuse to divorce, I can still be his lover. Status doesn’t matter to me as long as I can cling onto Lu Zhi.”

“What are you talking about? Although the Xiao family isn’t as prestigious as the Lu Family, we’re not so lowly that well let our daughter be Lu Zhi’s mistress!” Xiao Xishan’s face was red from anger.

“Dad, what kind of society do we live in now? Is status more important than money? A million Xiao families could not compare to a single Lu family. Have you thought about how much benefits I will bring to the Xiao family if I can be with Lu Zhi?”

“No means no…” Xiao Xishan shook his head repeatedly.

He doted on his precious daughter all her life. His only hope for her was for her to marry a rich husband and spend the rest of her life happily.

How could he let her be someone’s mistress?

“Whether you agree or not, I will do it.” Xiao Yeyu saw that her soft tactics didn’t work, so she decided to go hard.

“You b*stard!” Xiao Xishan hated her stubbornness. “I’ll look for Lu Zhi now and void the contract!”

Seeing that her father was about to leave, Xiao Yeyu quickly stopped him. “Dad, I’m doing this for the Xiao family, not for myself. Think about it, our family used to be a prestigious one in A-City until Grandpa’s generation lost everything to the Xiao family. We wouldn’t be where we are now if not because of that.”

“If we don’t fight for the family, we’ll probably continue to decline. By the time my children grow up, the entire A-City would have forgotten that the Xiao family was once one of the four great families. Dad, I’ve promised Grandma that I would restore the Xiao family to its former glory. I will die in front of you if you try to stop me.” Xiao Yeyu said with tearful eyes.

Xiao Xishan frowned deeply. “It’s not like it has to be Lu Zhi…”

“It can only be him because only he can help us realize our dream!” Xiao Yeyu was ambitious. “I’ve observed everyone who can help our family and Lu Zhi is the most capable.”

His daughter had already said this. What else could Xiao Xishan do?

Meanwhile…

Jiang Yining thought that Lu Zhi would go straight home after the meeting. She didn’t expect him to drive to the most prosperous part of A-City.

This was an expensive area where the rich and famous hung out.

Jiang Yining asked curiously, “Don’t you have a collaboration to discuss?”

“No.”

“Then why are we here?”

“Dinner,” came Lu Zhi’s succinct reply.

“Didn’t you tell the Xiao family that you had something to do?”

“It was just an excuse. I don’t want to have dinner with strangers.”

Hearing his matter-of-fact tone, Jiang Yining felt that everything she said was nonsense.

Lu Zhi brought her to a western restaurant by the river.

The restaurant sat on a prime area. Diners by the floor-to-ceiling windows could have a panoramic view of A-City with all its neon lights.

The waiter led them to a private room and asked them what they would like to eat.

Lu Zhi passed her the menu.

Jiang Yining casually ordered a few dishes, and said seriously with her chin propped, “You are the one who brought me here. You’ll pay the bill. I’m not going to split it with you.”

Even the cheapest dish here cost tens of thousands of yuan. She couldn’t bear to spend this kind of money.

She had no choice but to eat here because he had brought her to this place.

Lu Zhi raised his eyebrows at her and said, “You’re willing to give Xiao Lang a priceless musical score for nothing, but you can’t bear to treat me to a meal?”

“That’s different.” Jiang Yining shrugged. “The musical score was left to me by Elder Liang. I didn’t spend a single cent, so I didn’t feel the pain even if I gave it away. But eating with you would require me to fork out real money. To me, there’s no difference between expensive restaurant food worth tens of thousands of yuan and roadside snacks worth a few yuan. If I had to choose, I would rather eat at a roadside stall.”

She was very determined not to pay for this meal.

Lu Zhi lowered his eyes and smiled faintly.

He couldn’t tell if she was generous or stingy.

But he could definitely tell that she was a very interesting person.

He couldn’t help but want to see more of her personality.

“Alright, I’ll treat you to this meal. Next time, you can treat me to a roadside stall.” Lu Zhi said softly.

Jiang Yining felt like she had just met an alien when she heard this.

He would actually go to a roadside stall with her?

Did she hear wrongly?
