Reincarnation: Multi-skilled Goddess Is So Beautiful! Chapter 490 - Things That Eldest Brother Can Do, I Can Do Even Better

Chapter 490: Things That Eldest Brother Can Do, I Can Do Even Better

Lu Jingye’s words caused Lu Zhiheng and the First Madam to look at him with expressions of disbelief.

A few seconds later, Lu Zhiheng shouted at him with a flushed face, “What joke are you cracking? How could I possibly take over the affairs of your subordinates!”

The First Madam saw that Patriarch Lu’s expression was of displeasure and she hastily added. “You’ve never been involved with matters of business and how could you possibly manage a large corporation like the Lu Group?”

Lu Jingye glanced at the both of them and his expression was still as cold as usual. “The things that eldest brother can do, I can do even better.”

Evidently, he was looking down on Lu Zhiheng. His words had caused Lu Zhiheng to look at him with a death stare.

Lu Jiancheng, who had been sitting there from the beginning, spoke up just then. “We all know that you and Jingye have a good relations.h.i.+p, but you have to prioritize what’s important. Even if you were to break off both your eldest brother’s hands, it’s impossible for Jingye to return.

He was the one who chose that road himself. Your grandfather did give him a chance, but he did not cherish it. Our Lu Family is a military aristocratic family and we will never compromise. You only have to complete what is within your job scope.”

After Lu Jiancheng said that, he said to Patriarch Lu, “Father, it’s getting late. You should return to rest.”

In reality, Patriarch Lu was still biased towards Lu Yunxiao and so, he agreed. Before he left, he said, “Since you’ve come back to rest, you should make more contact with young ladies from other aristocratic families. Don’t disappear all day long.”

Lu Jingye had his lips tightly shut and did not respond.

Patriarch Lu’s expression sank and he added on. “Lessen your contact with Jingye in the future. He’s no longer part of the Lu Family.”

“He is my brother.”

“You-”

“Father, don’t get angry.”

Lu Jiancheng stood up and supported Patriarch Lu by his arm and said, “I’ll talk to Yunxiao about this. You should go back and rest first.”

Patriarch Lu looked at the stubborn Lu Yunxiao and left for his bedroom.

As soon as Patriarch Lu left, Lu Jiancheng turned around and looked at him. “Yunxiao…”

Before he had the chance to give a long speech, Lu Yunxiao took his leave.

Lu Jiancheng was so angry that he was fuming in anger.

“Look at him, look at him! Why is Second brother’s family all like that? All of them have no respect for their elders. If their behavior were to spread out, others would say that our Lu Family doesn’t educate the younger generation well,” First Madam saw Lu Yunxiao who was leaving and deliberately said in a loud voice.

Lu Zhiheng added on. “Third brother must not have regarded us as his family. Not only did he help an outsider by breaking my hand, perhaps he might help Second brother s.n.a.t.c.h our Lu Group’s business.”

Speaking of this, he recalled how Zi Yi s.n.a.t.c.hed Colin’s attention from him and he recounted this incident to his father, whilst exaggerating things.

His father looked at the door with a livid expression and his gaze turned sharp.

The First Madam looked at her husband and said with a frown, “Zhiheng only just took over the Lu Group and so many incidents have already happened. Jingye must have done something in the dark. Jiancheng, if you leave this unattended, perhaps he might really ruin the Lu Group.”

Lu Jiancheng snorted and said, “He dares to?”

He thought about it and said to Lu Zhiheng, “Invite Mr. Colin out tomorrow. I shall personally speak with him.”

Lu Zhiheng was elated. “Okay.”

…

Zi Yi did not immediately rest after she returned. Instead, she headed downstairs to work on making robots.

Little Loli stood beside her and helped to pa.s.s her the relevant tools. At the same time, she connected to Lu Zhiheng’s phone and broadcasted live what they said after Lu Jingye arrived.

When they heard Lu Jingye say to have both of them exchange their jobs, both the human and robot laughed.

“I didn’t expect brother-in-law to say that. Lu Zhiheng must have gotten internal injuries due to anger.”

“Who can blame him for being incompetent and arrogant? Even if he does get internal injuries, he deserves it.”

After Lu Jingye left, Little Loli was about to turn off the audio monitor when Zi Yi stopped her. “Wait first. They would definitely have something else to say.”

When she heard that Lu Jiancheng wanted to personally meet with Colin, Zi Yi smiled.

Little Loli asked, “Sister, what if Lu Jiancheng uses his ident.i.ty and cooperates with Colin?”

“Then let them cooperate as they like.”

To Zi Yi, it was the same as to whether she had a partner or not.

Lu Jingye returned home after midnight.

He immediately headed down to the bas.e.m.e.nt when he returned. Sure enough, he saw that his lovely woman was still busy dealing with her robots.

Little Loli was the first to see Lu Jingye standing by the door and she smiled as she motioned for him to remain silent. Following that, she deliberately snuck away.

Lu Jingye walked over and stood next to Zi Yi.

Just then, Zi Yi needed a certain part and asked Little Loli to pa.s.s it to her.

When she saw that the hand holding the part was different, only then did she realize he had returned and turned her head around.

“Ah Jing, you’re back.”

Lu Jingye looked at the smile on her face and his lips curled up as he gently responded.

Gone was the cold aura he had when he was disguised as Lu Yunxiao.

Zi Yi suddenly took off her gloves and touched his face as she asked, “I’m very curious. How were you able to imitate your brother’s expression and facial aura so much?”

Lu Jingye grabbed her hand into his palms and said, “When Yunxiao just took over the secret forces, he would often get injured. The people in the secret forces also had their own thoughts and he is not skilled with playing around with people. I had switched ident.i.ties with him for a period of time to take care of them.”

“Then do the others know of it?”

“No. In order to learn each other’s behavior and habits, we often practiced and guided each other for a period of time.”

“…”

Zi Yi looked at him with bright eyes. “So it turns out that there’s such an unknown side to you and your brother.”

She suddenly laughed and made a guess. “Yunxiao must be someone who looks cold, but has a soft heart.” Otherwise, he would not have been able to learn Lu Jingye’s behavior and habits.

“That’s not exactly the case either.” Lu Jingye said, “Due to his job, he is destined to be cold and heartless. If he were to act on his emotions, it would only cause harm to him and his comrades.”

Zi Yi suddenly fell silent after hearing that.

Lu Jingye tightened his grip on her hand. He did not wish for her to think too much and so, he said, “It’s getting late, go and take a rest.”

Zi Yi looked at the semi-finished robot she was working on and said, “I promised Leader Zhang to make him some robots. It has already been some time since then and I plan to finish them all in these next few days.”

“Okay.”

“I still have to meet with Mr. Louis to discuss the racing car.”

“Okay.”

“I was originally planning to meet with Mr. Colin to discuss aeros.p.a.ce technology, but your uncle and eldest cousin are thinking of using their ident.i.ties to take Mr. Colin in as a partner.”

“You intend to get involved in the industry?”

“Yes. Aeros.p.a.ce technology is very important.” As someone from the future interstellar era, it was impossible for her to be confined on Earth all the time.

Lu Jingye touched her head and said, “If you wish to get involved in that industry, you don’t have to find someone else. I’ll help you.”

Zi Yi laughed. “Are you going to work for me?”

“Yes.”

“But I can’t afford to hire you. I can only repay you with myself.”

“Alright.”

“Hehe.”

…

The next day, Zi Yi went out to meet with Louis. The two of them chatted for over two hours before ending their meeting.

When Zi Yi came out from the coffee shop, she gave a call to Colin.

It just so happens that Colin was invited by Lu Jiancheng and Lu Zhiheng to a high-end tea house and so, he could only apologetically say, “Miss Zi, I have something else to attend to and I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep to the appointment..
