Chapter 752: On What Basis Are They able To Live So Happily While We Slog Our Guts Out?!

Nangong Yun noticed Zi Yis gaze and smiled at her. Third Young Master Lu came to our school as a special instructor for a week. I was the cla.s.s representative and had much contact with him.

Zi Yi looked at Lu Jingye with slight surprise. Yunxiao was an instructor in the military school before?

Only once. It was something that happened two years ago.

Zi Yi nodded and turned to speak to Nangong Yun. Yunxiao is also here today.

Nangong Yun subconsciously glanced around the art gallery but she did not see who she was looking for.

However, she was not disappointed either and said to the rest, You must have something to discuss among yourselves. Ill head inside first to have a look.

Having said that, she headed inside the art gallery eagerly.

Nangong Yu originally wanted to call out to her. But looking at how she walked further away, he could only say helplessly, Third Young Master Lu is my sisters idol. She usually has a cold personality.

Zi Yi pursed her lips and smiled. Its alright.

She then pointed in another direction. My Grandpa is here, do you want to say h.e.l.lo to him?

Sure.

Zi Yi led Nangong Yu towards where Elder Dou was at.

Nangong Yu was more or less acquainted with the people here and he would greet them along the way.

Just then, Elder Dou and a few masters of the Painting and Calligraphy a.s.sociation were currently chatting in the rest area. When Zi Yi brought Nangong Yu over, they were talking about the a.s.sociations compet.i.tion next year.

Grandpa.

The moment Zi Yi called out to Elder Dou, everyone stopped talking and turned to look in her direction.

Nangong Yu greeted the elders. Headmaster Dou, Elder Bai, Elder Gu, Elder Yang, Elder Zhang, Elder Li, h.e.l.lo.

Student Nangong, youre here.

Elder Dou smiled and waved at him. Student Nangong, come over and have a seat.

Nangong Yu walked over and sat next to Elder Dou.

Zi Yi was not surprised by that and said, You can slowly chat. Ill go elsewhere to take a look around.

Zi Yi left after she said her piece.

The few elders looked at Zi Yi who ran away faster than that of a rabbit and all of them revealed a smile.

Elder Bai could not help but say, This girl must be afraid that we will ask her to take part in the international compet.i.tion next year and thus, did not dare to sit together with us.

Everyone started laughing out loud. After they finished laughing, they s.h.i.+fted the conversation back to Nangong Yu.

Elder Dou asked, Student Nangong must be studying in your third year right now, yes?

Nangong Yu nodded his head. Yes, but I should be admitted into the research inst.i.tute starting next year.

When Nangong Yu studied at M.Uni previously, the current headmaster even specially made a call to Elder Dou and informed him of Nangong Yus ident.i.ty. Elder Dou also knew what he wanted to do in the future. Going into the research inst.i.tute is also not bad. You are talented in this field and you can make good contributions to the country in the future.

Both of them did not continue the conversation and Elder Dou changed the topic shortly after.

Everyone started talking about paintings again and Nangong Yu was unexpectedly able to join in on their conversation.

Yiyi, whos that handsome guy? He looks good.

Zi Yi turned and looked at Dou Yurui who was staring at Nangong Yu while she stroked her chin. Hes the President of M.Unis Student Union.

Dou Yurui checked out the handsome and polite Nangong Yu for some time and nodded. Hes not bad, but unfortunately, he seems to be younger than me.

Zi Yi was amused by her words and ended up asking, Second cousin, I thought you previously mentioned that youll only date after you hit your thirties? Why are you paying attention to the opposite s.e.x right now?

Dou Yurui looked at Zi Yi with a bitter gaze. Isnt it all because of you?

Me? Zi Yi felt that she was innocent.

Thats right. Ever since your Aunts got to know of your pregnancy, other than Dou Yueer who has yet to reach adulthood, all of us have been physically and mentally brainwashed and bombarded every day. Even my Mother spoke up. If I dont find someone to marry next year, shell kick me out of the house.

Zi Yi gave her a sympathetic look.

Dou Yurui said with a headache, My Mother also said that I cant find someone who has a similar job as me.

Why?

She said that she did not wish to frequently have conversations such as autopsies with her son-in-law.

Pft!

Dou Yurui looked at her bitterly. Yiyi, was that very funny?

Zi Yi nodded her head honestly but she still said, If you really want to find a partner, you can get Xiangling to help you recommend a few people. There seem to be quite a few young male teachers in the School of Fine Arts.

Im not going to find a teacher. Dou Yurui rejected her without the slightest hesitation. There are so many teachers in our family and even if you chase me with a stick, Im not going to find a partner that is a teacher.

Zi Yi thought about it and said, Why dont I get Ah Jing to recommend some people to you instead? He knows a lot of people.

Dou Yurui touched her chin and thought about it. She felt that this suggestion sounded feasible and ended up asking Zi Yi for a favor, Yiyi, my lifelong affairs shall be handed to you.

Speaking of that, the both of them smiled.

Just then, Dou Yueers excited voice sounded. Second Sister, Cousin Yiyi, there you are. Ill bring you over to watch a drama.

Both of them looked at the gossipy Dou Yueer and Dou Yurui did not fully trust her. What kind of drama could possibly happen here? Dont tell me two masters decided to compete with their paintings?

Thats not it. Theres nothing to see in a fight between two masters. Just now I saw two women surrounding Brother Yunxiao and the two women were about to fight each other.

Zi Yi and Dou Yurui made eye contact with each other.

Zi Yi managed to guess who the two women were, but she still had her doubts about what Dou Yueer said about them fighting it out.

Dou Yurui, however, said with a complicated tone of voice, Fortunately, I was only interested in Lu Yunxiaos appearance. Otherwise, Id have to fight for him with a group of women for eight hundred rounds.

Dou Yueer added. Second Sister, youre so fierce, youd definitely be able to defeat all the compet.i.tors.

Dou Yurui gave her a glare and said, Stop ruining my reputation. How am I fierce?

Youre fierce when you pick up the scalpel.

Pei, thats because I have no other choice alright. Im usually very ladylike, okay?

Uhh you can forget about trying to maintain that image of yours.

Looking at the two of them who were about to start bickering again, Zi Yis lips unconsciously curved up.

The atmosphere at the art gallery was rather cheerful, but it was a completely different scene at the Lu Familys main residence.

The males of the family had all left for work and only the Third Madam and Yang Yuelan were at home.

Even though the Third Madam had been taking care of everything in the main residence during this period of time, she did not have any experience in the past and there were many things she was unsure of.

It was different for Yang Yuelan. She had always followed the First Madam around and the First Madam also had plans to hand over the authority to Yang Yuelan. As a result, she would often teach Yang Yuelan tricks on managing the house.

It could be said that Yang Yuelan was much more familiar than the Third Madam with the daily operations of the main residence.

It was going to be the New Years soon and her husband was still slogging his guts out in the office while her mother-in-law was sent back to the countryside. In addition, Mrs. Lu and her family came to visit last night and she saw how prosperous and happy their family was. Most importantly, the moment she started talking badly about Zi Yi, Mrs. Lu immediately started asking about the dividends they would receive from the company and there was no need to mention how bitter she felt.

She was originally feeling bitter deep down inside, so when she then heard that Zi Yis art gallery was open for business early in the morning and that she had invited all the reputable painting masters, she was annoyed.

Previously, her maternal family wanted to request a painting from a master and that master did not even allow them to meet him.

Now that same master was at Zi Yis gallery.

The thought of it caused her to get even more infuriated.

On what basis are they able to live so happily while we have to live slogging our guts out? Yang Yuelan muttered to herself and she suddenly had a great idea.

She immediately called for one of the helpers in the courtyard and whispered something in her ear.

The helper was brought over from the First Madams maternal family and now that the First Madam was chased out of the main residence, she only listened to Yang Yuelan.

The helper a.s.sured her. Madam, dont worry. I will definitely settle this for you.

The helper left after that.

Not long later, a helper came over and requested for her. Young Madam, the Third Madam mentioned that she has to head out for a while and asks for you to take care of Patriarch Lu.

Yang Yuelan immediately adjusted her expression and revealed a joyful one instead. Alright, Ill be there right away.
