Chapter 567 Targe

Lazy Days.

Lily considered these days very languid, relaxed and tiring. For some reason, Lily gets tired even if she is only lying and reading some contracts or cases that had been filed against the Zhou Capital. She knew this was because of the pregnancy, so instead of complaining, Lily decided to spend this time reading more and more things to increase her knowledge.

After all, Lily does not really think that she is intelligent. She cannot memorize a page just by looking at it and does not even know most of the elements from the Chemical table of elements. She is also not very good at math, but she doesn't care.

Lily believes that anything can be done with hard work and persistence.

During these days, Lily had been going with Zhou Jingren to his office while occasionally going to see Qin Yuanfeng in Facci Group Tower. Since her stomach is still small, and she had been wearing loose dresses, no one really knows aside from their family and close friends that she is pregnant.

"Father sent a lot of supplements from his recent trip abroad," Lily said. She was not close to Qin Chuan, but she still considered the man as someone related to her. Though Qin Chuan is not saying anything about their relationship, the man is trying his best to create some contact by calling every now and then. He would also send him gifts from his travels and would sometimes invite Lily and Qin Yuanfeng to dinner or lunch.

However, Zhou Jingren refused to allow Lily to travel because of her pregnancy. In the end, only Qin Yuanfeng would be able to join his father. 

"You should check it with the doctor." Zhou Jingren answered. His eyes were glued to his laptop as his fingers flew into the keyboard. He had been really busy lately because of Bei Tian's absence. However, the man is off to a mission in Europe so he doesn't really mind.

"Hmmm." Lily nodded. This time she was reading about the cases that were filed against Zhou Jingren's security agency. This company is quite close to Lily's heart simply because of her first encounter with Zhou Jingren last year where she thought he was her new driver from the company.

"I can see that multiple sexual assault cases had been filed against the company." Aside from this, there are also a lot of claims about sexism. Lily found this interesting.

"It's from one of our contractors in Mainland China." He answered. "Those are really small cases. We are taking care of it."

"Alright." Lily nodded and continue to read. However, this peaceful environment was interrupted when Go Jichen told them that the Second Master of the Yu Family is here… as scheduled. "You have a meeting with him?" she asked Zhou Jingren.

"Yes. He scheduled a meeting after the birthday party. But my schedule had always been full." Zhou Jingren lifted his head to look at her. "Stay here…"

"I am not planning to move." Lily smiled. She was sitting on a couch just a few feet away from Zhou Jingren. "Even if you ask me to."

A few minutes later, Yu Tingye came walking inside. An obvious surprise flashed in his face when he saw Lily sitting on the couch, lazily reading. She glanced at him and smiled before shifting her gaze back to her tablet.

"President Zhou..."

"Mr. Yu…"

The two shook their hands before sitting opposite to each other. Yu Tingye then gave Lily a wary glance before looking at Zhou Jingren. "President Zhou… I have some important matters to discuss with you… if you don't mind…"

"No." Zhou Jingren interrupted him, his face instantly turned dark. "She stays."

"Oh!" Yu Tingye nodded. "My apologies. I just thought that… well, never mind now."

"Hmmm. I am a very busy man, Mr. Yu… so the sooner we can finish this meeting, the better." Zhou Jingren leaned against his leather chair as his fingers started drumming on his table.

"Then, I will be direct. I know I don't have the right to demand what you and father talk about at the party. But��� I would like to know if you will involve yourself in my Yu Family's business."

"You are wrong." Zhou Jingren glanced at Lily before turning his gaze back to Yu Tingye. "The old man did not call for me. He wanted to talk to my wife."

Yu Tingye looked at Zhou Jingren's serious expression before he sighs. "Then… I would ask you to stay away from the Yu Family's Business." He decided to be direct. "A couple of days before you move, I knew that you were… looking into some files about everyone in The Peak. I know that this is normal for someone like you. However, after father's birthday… I started to doubt the reason why you initially asked someone to look into our personal information."

Zhou Jingren lifted an eyebrow. "You are saying that I deliberately move to the neighborhood so I could target your family?"

"I don't know anything about your motives. All I'm saying is… you have no business with the Yu Family. My mother is already dying. Please don't make us more… miserable."

"Do I really need to make you and your family more miserable?" he asked. "I thought you are perfectly doing that to yourselves?"

"President Zhou… I am not here to fight. I am only here to talk like civilized people. I am politely asking you not to involve yourselves in our family. That's all."

"Mr. Yu… I believe you are talking to the wrong person. We are not trying to involve ourselves in your business. However… I can't say the same thing for your father."

"You — Are you saying that father really wanted you and your wife to inherit the company?"

The couple's eyes met. A flash of surprise appeared in their faces. What does he mean by this? The couple did not remember the old man mention anything about inheriting the company. Nor did he mention about Lily getting anything from his will.

Was he hiding something from them?
