BXBX NOVEL Chapter 97 - 97: Want To Know If I’m Into Men Or Women?
Chen Qinglian panicked when she heard this.
Ah Zhi was a man of his word.
If he wanted to marry Kexin off, he would definitely do it.
She had worked so hard for so many years in the Lu family and sacrificed so much for him.
All because she wanted her daughter to marry into the Lu family and become a glorious young madam!
How could she watch her beautiful dream shatter?
Chen Qinglian held on tightly to Ah Zhi’s arm. “Ah Zhi, you know how Kexin feels about you. If you marry her off to someone else, you may as well kill her!”
“Her life or death has nothing to do with me. She’s a grown woman capable of making her own decisions.”
Lu Zhi didn’t accept any form of emotional blackmail.
Old Madam Lu stepped forward and pulled Chen Qinglian away. “Let him find her a suitor! With me here, let’s see who dares to marry Kexin by force!”
“Old Madam…”
Chen Qinglian didn’t know if she should believe her.
Chen Kexin’s face was pale as she muttered softly, “Brother Ah Zhi, I don’t want to marry anyone else… I don’t want to…”
She scrambled to touch Lu Zhi.
But Lu Zhi didn’t give her the chance as he walked away.
“Brother Ah Zhi!” Chen Kexin shouted heartbreakingly.
Lu Zhi did not stop walking and left.
For a short while, the ward was filled only with Chen Kexin’s desperate wails and Chen Qinglian’s silent sobs.
Old Madam Lu nudged Chen Qinglian and said, “Help Kexin up, the floor is cold.”
“Yes.”
Chen Qinglian nodded.
She walked up to help her daughter back to bed but Chen Kexin was totally uncooperative as she squatted on the floor.
“Grandma, I don’t want to live anymore. Brother Ah Zhi wants to marry me off to someone else. Don’t bother about me. Just let me die.”
As she spoke, she staggered towards the window.
Old Madam Lu stopped her. “Kexin, Grandma is on your side. Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone touch you.”
“Grandma…”
Chen Kexin leaned helplessly on her grandmother’s shoulder, tears streaming down her face.
Old Madam Lu kept comforting her.
Chen Qinglian noticed that the bandage on her daughter’s wrist had been stained red with blood. She called the doctor over to redress her wound.
Chen Kexin fell asleep after her wound was redressed.
“Old Madam, why don’t you go home and rest? I’ll stay here with Kexin for the night.”
“Alright.”
Old Madam Lu took a final look at Chen Kexin and sighed.
The morning sun filtered through the windows into Jiang Yining’s bedroom.
After she woke up, she went to find Lu Zhi.
She saw photos of handsome men in front of him and picked up a few to look.
“What are you doing with these? Don’t tell me you’ve changed your preference and started liking men?”
“If you want to know if I’m into men or women, I can show you physically.” Lu Zhi leaned back into the chair, looking noble, relaxed, and arrogant at the same time. He lifted her chin and teased, “Hehe, I’m just kidding. Why so serious?” Jiang Yining smiled and carefully pulled his hand away.
Lu Zhi smiled and continued to study the photos as well as the information on them.
Jiang Yining didn’t understand what he was up to, but she still took the initiative to help him choose.
A moment later, she picked up a photo and said, “This one’s not bad. Xu Chengzhi, 29 years old, 182cm, family worth tens of millions of yuan, family business in software development…”
Lu Zhi took the photo and glanced at it. “Yes, he’s quite suitable.”
“Suitable for whom? Are you setting up a blind date for your sister?”
There were several young misses in the Lu family of marriageable age.
However, Lu Zhi didn’t seem like the kind of person who would set up blind dates during his free time.
“Chen Kexin,” Lu Zhi replied flatly.
Jiang Yining blinked, unable to believe her ears. “Who?”
“Chen Kexin.”
“…” Jiang Yining stared at him in disbelief.
Didn’t Chen Kexin love him to death?
Why did she suddenly have to go on blind dates?
“Anyone who dares to touch my people will have to pay a corresponding price.” Lu Zhi spat out a blunt answer from his thin lips.
Jiang Yining was stunned.
His people?
Did he mean… Her?
Jiang Yining cough twice as she couldn’t help but admire his cold-blooded methods.
Hit them where it hurt.
He knew how to attack the enemy’s weakest points.
He knew that Chen Kexin liked him, but he purposely marry her off to someone else, eliminating the possibility of them being together.
Truly ruthless!
If it were anyone else, she would have praised them.
However, Lu Zhi had done this for her…
“You’ve troubled yourself.”
Jiang Yining did not plead for Chen Kexin. After all, she had seen her madness. If she didn’t receive a severe punishment, she would probably do something crazier next time.
All she could do was to thank Lu Zhi indirectly with these words.
Lu Zhi just hummed in acknowledgement.
Then, he threw Xu Chengzhi’s photo on the table and the rest into the trash can.
“Then it’s him.”
“You don’t have to ask Miss Chen for her opinion?”
“What’s the difference? If she doesn’t want to marry Xu Chengzhi, she just has to find her own husband but she’ll never appear at the Lu residence again.”
Either get out of the Lu residence or obediently marry the person he had chosen for her.
He would only give her two options.
Jiang Yining stroked the table. “Alright, if you say so.”
Anyway, it was a Lu family matter and Lu Zhi knew how to handle it better than her.
Jiang Yining didn’t take Chen Kexin’s matter to heart. Since Lu Zhi had already intervened, he would settle things properly.
She just resumed school peacefully.
As it was Monday and there were only elective classes, many students did not come to school.
Half the classroom was empty.
Ye Xiaoxi was sitting in the back row, discussing an advanced math question with a top student.
She waved at Jiang Yining when she saw her.
Jiang Yining didn’t like to sit with strangers, so she only gave Ye Xiaoxi a nod before she walked to another seat and sat down alone.
Ye Xiaoxi said bye to the top student and ran to Jiang Yining with her things.
“Yining, a handsome man asked me about you just now. He said that you know who he is.”
Jiang Yining frowned slightly.
Xiao Lang?
This guy was like a leech. All she did was give him a musical score.
And he had become so clingy?
“Why is he looking for me?”
“He asked me to give this to you.” Ye Xiaoxi took out a record and handed it to her. “It’s a piece that he performed and recorded specially for you.”
“…” Jiang Yining looked at the flamboyant signature on the record and felt a little disgusted.
If she wanted to listen to music, there was someone at home who could play better.
And the music was live!
Why would she listen to Xiao Lang’s record?
“You can have it.” Jiang Yining said to Ye Xiaoxi.
“You are giving it to me?” Ye Xiaoxi was a little confused.
“Yes. If you don’t like it, you can throw it into the trash can.”
Ye Xiaoxi was speechless.
Xiao Yeyu, who was standing behind them, saw the autograph on the record and took it excitedly. “Isn’t this the autograph of Young Master Xiao Lang? He is a world-renowned pianist.”
Ye Xiaoxi was shocked speechless.
How could Yining not care about such a valuable item?
