Chapter 19: Turning Pale at the Mention of His Name

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After some pondering, Tong Yi said, “I’ll try to get to know Lu Zhanbei more. I won’t blindly approach him.”

It seemed like the game mission had to be completed in secret. She had to hide it from her parents. As long as Lu Zhanbei agreed to get engaged to her, she could complete the mission.

“Yi’er…”

“I’m tired, I’ll be retiring to my room first.” Tong Yi interrupted Yun Ruoshu and walked upstairs.

Yun Ruoshu looked at Tong Yi’s back and sighed but did not chase after her. She knew this daughter of hers. The more she tried to force something, the more rebellious her daughter would become. Her daughter had already taken a step back, so it was better to take things slowly.

Tong Yi returned to her room and found her mobile phone. She unlocked it with her fingerprint and planned to check out Lu Zhanbei’s information online.

Ling Rui and Yun Ruoshu turned pale at the mention of Lu Zhanbei as if he were a ferocious beast.

After interacting with Lu Zhanbei a few times, Tong Yi could tell that he was indeed not an easy person to get along with. It was better to get to know him more. As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle.

Also, the idea that Ling Rui had proposed was not a bad one, so first, she had to find out Lu Zhanbei’s preferences.

Two minutes later, Tong Yi turned off her phone.

Lu Zhanbei was Lu Mingli’s eldest son. He was also the chairman of the Beifeng Group.

Other than this, there was no other information about Lu Zhanbei on the internet. He barely had an online presence, she couldn’t even find his contact number.

Tong Yi leaned the side of her face against her palm and fell into deep thought. After a while, she opened her phone again and opened WeChat. She found a WeChat with the nickname “Handsome Terminal Cancer” and looked up the chat history. After confirming that it was Ling Rui, she sent him a message: “Do you have Lu Zhanbei’s phone number? WeChat works too.”

Ling Rui responded instantly. 

“No.”

“How can a small fry like me get hold of a bigshot’s contact number?

“It is almost impossible for someone like me to get his private number but he is the chairman of the Beifeng Group, so it should not be difficult to get his work number.

“But his work number is probably answered by his secretary, so you still won’t be able to reach him.”

“Why don’t you go to the Beifeng Group’s office and wait?”

Ling Rui sent several voice messages in a row. Tong Yi frowned. ‘Was it really so difficult to see him?’

Handsome Terminal Cancer sent another message. “Oh right, I heard that that expensive club called Zhunhuang Chamber in Beijing is owned by Lu Zhanbei’s friend. I heard my old man mention it by chance. I’ve seen Lu Zhanbei there a few times. You can try your luck there too.”

Tong Yi replied, “Okay.”

Handsome Terminal Cancer followed up with a barrage of questions. 

“Are you going tonight?

“What time?

“Do you need me to prepare anything?”

There were three messages in a row, his voice sounded extremely excited.

‘Why is he so excited?’

She was annoyed.

Tong Yi suddenly felt that Ling Rui’s nickname was an eyesore, so she changed his nickname to “Talkative”.

While she was changing his caller ID, Ling Rui sent a few more voice messages.

“Only VIP club members are allowed access into Zhunhuang Chamber. You can’t enter without a membership card. 

“My dad has one, I’ll go get it.’

“By the way, did your parents do anything to you when you got home?”

After Tong Yi heard the message, she thought for a while before replying, “I’m fine. Come and pick me up at eight tonight.”

Handsome Terminal Cancer replied, “Ok!”

Tong Yi tossed her phone aside and fell into a daze for a while before leaving the room.

She felt like she should visit Tong Siyuan. Even though she did not want to go because she would most likely be scolded if she did, he was her father in the game after all, and he was sick because of her. It would not be right if she did not check up on him.

Since she would have to sit through being scolded sooner or later, it was better to get it over with sooner rather than later.

It was already dark outside when she finally came out from her father’s room, having endured the tongue lashing.

If it weren’t for the fact that Tong Siyuan was sick and did not have much energy, Tong Yi felt that her father might have beaten her out of anger.

Even though Tong Siyuan had a dark and solemn expression the entire time, Tong Yi could still feel his deep love for Tong Yi despite his stern words.

She envied Tong Yi in the game from the bottom of her heart because unlike her character in the game, she didn’t even know who her parents were in real life.
