“Zi family?” Xia Ming’s heart skipped a beat. He tightened his grip on Xia Lu Lu’s arm as he clarified, “What did you just say? Zi family?”
‘Did I hear it wrong? Xia Lu Lu actually knows someone of that mysterious Zi family?’
“Of course!” The young girl raised her head and smiled complacently. “That fellow is known as Zi Yu (Purple carefree). He even said he was courting me.”
“Lu Lu, what is Zi Yu’s status in the Zi family?”
“About that…” Xia Lu Lu paused for a moment before she shook her head and continued, “I’m not sure but from how Zi Yu speaks, he seemed to hold a rather high status in the Zi family. He perhaps may even be a young master of the Zi family.”
‘The Zi family is overly mysterious that not many people have a chance to meet with people of the Zi family.
‘But there are still several people curious about that mysterious Zi family…’
“Lu Lu, you did well this time. Father wants to have a meeting with that person of the Zi family!”
A glimmer flickered past Xia Ming’s eyes.
‘Perhaps I will be able to find out how the Xia family had offended the Zi family through that person.’
Even though Xia Lu Lu had always been heavily pampered, this was indeed the first time that she was complimented by her Father. She wasn’t used to it that she was shocked by being praised by him. She hastily nodded and agreed, “Alright, I shall arrange a meeting for Zi Yu to come here and see you.”
“Hahaha!”
Xia Ming laughed brazenly when he thought about him going to have a marriage alliance with the Zi family. He shifted his head to look at Yun Luo who had a glacial expression. He sniggered and said, “Yun Luo, did you hear that? This is your price for not choosing to be with me! If Lu Lu was our daughter, you could also have become a member of the Zi family via the marriage alliance. It’s a pity that you had abandoned such a great chance!”
Yun Luo chuckled coldly and gradually shut her eyes, not continuing to look at that revolting face…

There was a man sitting silently on a sofa within a luxurious large hall. He emitted an extraordinary aura.
Xia Ming sighed.
‘He is worthy to be a member of the Zi family. He is already superior to ordinary people with just his grandeur.’
“Mister Zi, I had invited you over today in order to ask you something. I don’t know whether if you know who the Young Madam of the Zi family is.”
“Young Madam?” Zi Yu paused for a moment and creased his eyebrows tightly as he said, “When did our Zi family have a Young Madam? Why am I unaware about that?”
“Don’t have a Young Madam?”
Xia Ming was stunned.
‘Those people of the Zi family had clearly stated that it was due to Xia Rui fancying their Young Madam, evoking their rage. But what did Zi Yu meant by saying that then?’
“Uncle Xia, the young master of our Zi family has just returned back to the Zi family but he returned by himself. He didn’t have a wife by his side so how can there be a young madam? I’m guessing that you had been lied to by someone!”
Bang!
Xia Ming slammed his fist hard on the table. With his complexion turned ashen, he said, “Absurd! They actually dared to lie to me. But why would those people of the Zi family lie to me about this?”
“Zi family?” Zi Yu didn’t think much about that as he continued, “Our Zi family will never do such a senseless matter. It must be someone that is using the Zi family’s identity to lie to you. It’s lucky that I had enlightened you about this early. Otherwise, you would definitely always be kept in the dark by those people!”
His words fueled the flames of fury in Xia Ming’s heart, making his gaze get increasingly gloomy.
Yet, how could he have known that Zi Yu’s grandfather was just a lowly subordinate of the Zi family that was responsible for sweeping the floor? But there was a rule in the Zi family that everyone that entered the Zi family must change their surname to Zi.
Therefore, Zi Yu had been tyrannically abusing that surname, acting like a pretentious prick everywhere he went. But frankly, his grandfather was just a lowly subordinate of the Zi family so there were many matters he wasn’t entitled to know. Hence, he also didn’t know about the existence of Mu Ru Yue…
