Chapter 112  : He Was Introverted “Xiao Zhu, this is my son, Lu Yi. He is a prosecutor, twenty-five years old. He looks fierce in his appearance, but he is very kind and talkative, he’s just a bit introverted.”

Lu yi sat still and did not refute Ye Shuyun.

Oh, so I have a fierce look, I am nice, talkative, and also an introvert.

Really?

He declined to comment, whatever she said, just let it be, even if she said he was a smiling tiger, he would just smile foolishly without refute.

“Oh, yes, Lu Yi, this is Fang Zhu. You can call her Xiao Zhu. She is a university teacher who is also twenty-five years old.

“Hi,” Fang Zhu pushed her black-framed glasses up higher on her nose. She was wearing a black suit without any creases on it and no jewelry. She was old-fashioned, inflexible, and she looked like...

A nun.

But apparently Lu Yi wasn’t a monk.

“Hi. Nice to meet you.” Lu Yi said something more for his mother’s sake, in case she lost face.

Fang Zhu lifted her neck and focused on him, he had no idea about what she was looking at, but in her eyes, she seemed to be calculating something about their family background, appearance, future planning, and so on.

The Lu family was well known in Sea City. His family was involved in both politics and business, and no matter which industry, they had succeeded where others couldn’t. It was the biggest wish among many women to marry into the Lu family, a wish that they couldn’t reach.

The Lu men were constant in love and serious-minded. Though they didn’t speak honeyed words, they were loyal to their companion. Both men and women had been spoiled in this materialistic society.

Mistresses, other women, extramarital affairs, and so on. But no one had heard about any of the Lu members doing such a thing. They were haughty and aloof to the point of being unapproachable; ordinary women were unable to handle it.

But Lu Yi was a good marriage partner for Fang Zhu. They had well matched occupations, they shouldn’t have too many problems, and they wouldn’t be too dependant on the other since they both had their own careers. Moreover, they were about the same age and experience, which was most satisfactory.

Lastly, Lu Yi was handsome, and for the quality of the next generation, it was better to find a good-looking woman.

She pushed her black-framed glasses up and looked at Lu Yi like he was an item to be valued. She was indeed satisfied, and Lu Yi felt uncomfortable under her gaze.

He wasn’t a good for sale, he was a man. He wasn’t so unmarketable that others could evaluate him so blatantly.

He wasn’t expensive but he definitely wasn’t cheap.

“Mom, I have something to do, I’ll leave first,” he said as he rose to his feet with his hand in his pocket.

He looked like noble British gentleman with the lofty sentiment of ancient chivalry, he wasn’t a wimp but masculine in every way.

“Sit down.” Ye Shuyun gave him a sharp look. “Xiao Zhu just arrived, shouldn’t you entertain her as the host?”

Lu Yi took a deep breath and sat down again, and Ye Shuyun soon found an excuse to leave them alone.

“Hello, Mr. Lu?” She called her husband when she got outside. “I’m telling you, I found you a daughter-in-law. She’s a university teacher, they’re the same age, she has a good temper and is well-educated. She’ll be a good match for our son. If they get married this year, we may get a grandson next year...”

She showed off to her husband from time to time but she didn’t know her son and “future daughter-in-law” had not said a word to each other inside.

Fang Zhu pushed the black-framed glasses up on her face again. It was evidence that she was knowledgeable with her nearsighted vision that was nearly at a -7.0 prescription, and it was also evidence of her years of reading.

“What is Mister Lu’s job?”

“A prosecutor,” Lu Yi answered drily.

“What hobbies does Mister Lu have?” Fang Zhu tried again.

“Work.” Like he was an robot. Yes, he just loved to work, what he loved most was work. He didn’t have any hobbies besides that.

“What a coincidence. That’s my hobby as well.”

Fang Zhu put her hand on her leg, her face calm. It didn’t look like a blind date, more like a tutoring session.

“Mister Lu, what do you think about the future?” She asked again.

“Future...” Lu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly. He only lived in the present. As for the future, who knew? He did not know how to answer the question. It happened that Fang Zhu raised her chin again, and she did not need him to answer as she had said it herself.

“I’m busy at the present, and I think you are, too. Right now is the best time to advance in our careers, so I don’t plan to have a child until after the age of 30. As for the child, he will join the army or be a teacher. Mr. Lu, what do you think?”

She was asking, but it seemed clear that she had arranged everything already, and if they got married, their relationship, their children, and even their children’s careers had already been predetermined.

Of course, she was satisfied with Lu Yi. His job, looks, and height were all right. Besides, he was also born into a wealthy family.

“Even if we get married, I will continue my work. As you know, work is not only a source of income for a woman, but also a woman’s ambition and a place to realize her value,” Fang Zhu continued. Her words were clear and carefully chosen. She smoothed her hair even though it wasn’t messy.

Lu Yi was speechless. It was none of his business to know her thoughts on those topics, they were strangers who had only met once, why were they talking about the future?

But anyhow, he was sure he had no interest in this woman who looked like a nun.

Obviously, his mother didn’t think so.

Ye Shuyun grabbed her son after Fang Zhu left. “Lu Yi, how do you feel about Xiao Zhu?”

“M-hm.” Lu Yi answered drily and pinched his eyebrows, he had a headache and just wanted to rest, he was tired as he didn’t get a wink of sleep for two nights.
