When she reached home, Jiang Yining realized that Lu Zhi was not back yet.
She hid in the bedroom alone, thinking about how to tell him about the wedding.
To be honest, she was worried that Lu Zhi would get angry.
After all, they had agreed to only hold a small wedding.
Now that things had changed…
It was equivalent to announcing to the world that he would be a second-hand man if he got married in the future.
Sigh.
Jiang Yining was particularly melancholic.
On the other side.
Lu Zhi was still in the company when he received a call from Old Master Lu.
First, he explained the relationship between Jiang Yining and the Gu family, then he brought up the matter of the betrothal gifts.
The Gu family was a prestigious family in the capital city. If they wanted to give betrothal gifts, they definitely could not be hasty.
Otherwise, the Gu family would think that they were slacking off.
That was not good.
Old Master Lu said, “Ah Zhi, I want to give Yining a portion of my shares of the Lu Corporation as a betrothal gift. The rest will be counted separately. What do you think?”
With only o.i percent of the Lu Corporation’s shares, it could already be worth tens of billions.
The old master was really thinking of investing a lot in this wedding.
Lu Zhi was a little surprised, but he still expressed his support. “Grandpa, if you want to give Yining shares, let me do it. I also have shares in the group. Of course, I have to personally give my wife’s betrothal gift.”
“You don’t have many shares in your hands, so you can’t split anymore. In the future, you still have to inherit the Lu Corporation. If your shares are too little, you will not be able to suppress the people below.”
Old Master Lu also wanted to use this betrothal gift to give the shares to Lu Zhi openly.
They were husband and wife, so wasn’t giving it to Lu Zhi the same as giving it to Yining?
“No, Grandpa, I must give it to her myself.” Lu Zhi said stubbornly and tyrannically.
“Alright, you give her a portion, and I’ll give her a portion. This should be fine, right?” Old Master Lu compromised.
“Yes, that’s alright.” Lu Zhi agreed.
At this moment, Jiang Yining, who was distressed at home, had no idea that a huge sum of money had been smashed on her head!
Old Master Lu said, “As for the other things, 1’11 see to it. If you want to add anything, give me the list. At that time, we can hand them over to the Gu family for them to take a look.”
“No problem.”
Old Master Lu explained everything clearly.
Lu Zhi listened very seriously.
After hanging up the phone, he curled his lips and revealed a determined smile.
The wedding was already going to be held, and the whole world was going to know that she was his.
Let’s see how she’s going to run.
Lu Zhi was not in the mood to continue working, so he ended his work early and hurriedly drove home.
Jiang Yining lay on the bed, tossing and turning for a long time.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
She stopped what she was doing and looked at the door. She asked, “Who is it?”
“It’s me.”
A familiar deep voice came through the crack in the door.
Jiang Yining’s heart tightened instantly. She grabbed the blanket with her small hand and was silent for a while before she said, “Is there something you need from me?”
“Yes, I want to talk to you about our wedding matters.”
Jiang Yining was speechless.
Who was the quick-witted one to tell him first?!
Jiang Yining’s heart was pounding.
After struggling for a few seconds, she finally got up and walked to the door.
She opened the door.
She didn’t dare to look up and meet his eyes.
Her gaze was locked on the ground, wishing she could poke a hole in it.
Lu Zhi looked at the hair whorl on her head and said with a smile, “Grandpa told me that he has already made an appointment with Gu Zhanqing to hold a wedding for us. Do you have any betrothal gifts you want? Or perhaps, are you expecting a surprise for the wedding?”
Jiang Yining held her breath and muttered softly, “Aren’t you angry?”
“Why would I be angry?”
He was so happy about it, why would he be angry?
“Um… If we hold a grand wedding, it will be difficult for you to find a wife in the future.” No matter how noble a bachelor was, after a divorce, his value in a girl’s heart would be reduced.
She was really worried…
This wedding would affect his happiness for the rest of his life.
“If I can’t find one, then I won’t look for one.”
He had already decided on her, so why would he look for someone else?
Lu Zhi’s eyes were filled with burning possessiveness, wishing he could swallow her whole.
Jiang Yining didn’t look him in the eye, so she naturally couldn’t see anything strange about him.
After she heard what he said, she mustered up the courage to look up.
He had already restrained his emotions very well.
“You said it. If you can’t find a wife in the future, don’t blame me.” Jiang Yining took out her phone and waved it around. She said, “I recorded everything you said just now.”
This cunning girl.
Lu Zhi patted her head and asked, “You’re not worried about not being able to get married, but you’re worried that I won’t be able to get a wife?”
“Those who like me won’t mind how many times 1 get married. If he minds, he wouldn’t be worthy of liking me.” Jiang Yining didn’t care about these things. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so determined to marry Lu Zhi.
“Very good.”
Lu Zhi nodded, his eyes full of praise. He asked, “Do you want to know what kind of betrothal gift Grandfather has prepared for you?”
“I kind of want to know.”
Jiang Yining was relieved of the psychological burden and began to look forward to the wedding.
No girl could resist the temptation of a wedding.
Even though she knew it was fake, she still wanted to see how she looked in the wedding dress.
“Grandpa has prepared shares of the Lu Corporation for you.”
“Oh… What else?”
“You’re not interested in the shares?” Lu Zhi asked.
“You can’t eat the shares. It’s just a pile of money. 1 don’t lack money. What’s the use of having it? When Grandpa gives it to me, 1’11 transfer it to you.” Jiang Yining said indifferently.
Lu Zhi looked at her nonchalant expression and chuckled, “There’s no need to give it to me. Just treat it as repayment for saving me.”
She didn’t care about these things, but he wanted to give them to her.
As long as he had something, he would give it to her.
Jiang Yining muttered, “You’re really strange. 1 already said 1 don’t want it, but you still want to give it to me.”
“Aren’t you just as strange? The thing that everyone pursues, you regard it as dirt.” Lu Zhi added silently in his heart. It was fate that both of them were so strange.
It was destiny!
No one could break them up.
The smile on Lu Zhi’s lips deepened.
Jiang Yining continued to ask, “What about the other things? Oh right, can I make some requests? After all, it’s a betrothal gift for me.”
She still had a mission that required a heavyweight prop.
If she could get Lu Zhi to help her obtain it while he was getting the betrothal gifts for her, it would save her a lot of effort.
“Sure.”
Lu Zhi agreed readily and asked, “What do you want?”
“Peninsula Manor.” Jiang Yining said without hesitation.
Lu Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly.
If he remembered correctly, the Peninsula Manor was located on the largest river in A-City, the shoal of the Pu River.
The location was unique, and it was surrounded by the most prosperous business circle. In the early years, it was once the territory of the Xie family. Later on, the Xie family collapsed and was bought by the Yuan family at a high price. They built a luxurious manor on it.
The Yuan family was one of the four new families in A-City sixty years ago. Their family’s assets were not clean, and their business was in a gray area. He had always looked down on those illegal businesses, so he rarely had any interactions with the Yuan family.
“What do you want that manor for?” Lu Zhi asked curiously.
“I like it. When I was shopping with Xiaoxi, I saw it by chance when 1 was in a shop in Linjiang. It would be wonderful to have a courtyard of my own in the middle of a bustling city.” Jiang Yining fabricated a lie and said, “If it’s not convenient, then forget it. You don’t have to force yourself.”
“I’m not forcing myself. As long as you like it, 1 can give it to you.” Lu Zhi said affectionately.
Jiang Yining’s heart started to beat uncontrollably as he stared at her.
She was stunned for a while before she reached out to cover Lu Zhi’s eyes.
Lu Zhi hummed in confusion.
Jiang Yining took a deep breath and said, “Lu Zhi, can you stop saying things that will cause misunderstandings?”
“What did you misunderstand?”
Lu Zhi raised his hand and held her hand.
Their eyes met again.
Jiang Yining’s face flushed red and she retorted, “It’s nothing! Alright, I only want the Peninsula Manor. You can do whatever you want with the rest! It doesn’t have to be too expensive!”
After saying that, she pushed him and slammed the door shut.
Lu Zhi leaned against the door and chuckled.
It seemed that this girl had feelings for him..
