My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 264 - 260: Dumb loss

Chapter 264: 260: Dumb loss
"Who are these two women? Where did you find them? They’re so hot-tempered and shameless." Watching Song Yuling and Song Yu Yan walk away, Yun Xi didn’t lower her volume at all and looked at Lu Xize to question.
Lu Xize shrugged and smiled, "Are you sure the hot-tempered person you’re referring to isn’t you?"
"Are you sure you have a death wish?" Yun Xi shot a dagger-like glance over and cracked her knuckles.
Lu Xize backed off two steps, waving his hands, "No, no, I still want to live for a few more decades! But hey, you’re a girl, can’t you be a bit gentler? Look at Miss Ye, so gentle and virtuous! Then look at you, aside from the way you dress, what part of you still resembles a woman?"
"Lu Xize, you’re really asking for it!" Yun Xi went straight up, kicked him, and then landed a punch on his shoulder.
Lu Xize rubbed his shoulder in pain as Yun Xi glared at him, "Spill it, what’s going on? Who are those two women? Why is Jiang Baizhou here? If you don’t clear this up today, I’ll make sure you regret it."
"Damn, if you cripple me, are you gonna take care of me?"
"You can try! I can totally take care of you! As long as you’re not afraid of being tortured by me to death!"
"Tsk, forget it! I was originally going to live to a hundred and ten, but now after this ruckus, I might only make it to a hundred, and I haven’t asked you for compensation yet!" Lu Xize waved his hand, expressing dissatisfaction through a metaphor.
Upon hearing this, Yun Xi couldn’t help but laugh sarcastically, "You? Live to 110? It’s a miracle you’ve lived this long, so stop getting full of yourself and spill it, what’s going on?"
"Ahem... My dad arranged a matchmaking today, and I brought Old Jiang to back me up with no other intentions." Lu Xize coughed nervously, rubbed his nose, lacking confidence in his words.
Yun Xi rolled her eyes at him, "Your dad arranged two dates for you? You’ve got quite the luck with women, don’t you?"
"They are sisters, the one I’m actually meeting for matchmaking is the one who just left, from the Song Group, two heiresses."
"Oh, so it’s them. I might have to have a nice chat with my aunt about this later," Yun Xi sneered with complete disdain.
"About what?"
"Oh, you probably don’t know yet! The two sisters from the Song Group, their mom recently had a meal with my aunt, trying to get information about my brother, wanting to match him with their eldest daughter. There were rumors about my brother and Ling Ran before, so she was probing the truth. But at that time, my aunt hinted that she already had a daughter-in-law in mind, so she gave up. Little did I know that in just a few days she’d set her sights on you. Seriously, is the Song Family this desperate to get their daughters married off? They’re practically throwing themselves at us! While I dislike you, I feel compelled to remind you to be careful. By the way, you have an older brother at home, right? Maybe their family is eyeing yours. They can’t rely on ours; my brother is underage, and my other brother is publicly engaged. In Nancheng, aside from our Yun Family, the Lu Family is also a prominent one. Especially your older brother, his business tactics are renowned; I’ve heard many stories." Yun Xi spread her hands, her face full of disdain for the Song Family’s eagerness to marry off their daughters and shared all she knew with Lu Xize.
In Nancheng, besides the Yun Group being a giant in the clothing industry, the other major player was the Lu Family, known for their investments in the financial market with a reputable name. Especially Lu Jingang, Lu Xize’s older brother, who took over the Lu Group five years ago and made countless acquisitions of major foreign and domestic companies, gaining a reputation for his formidable tactics.
There’s even a saying, ’Better to offend a king than the Lu Family’s devil, Lu Jingang.’
Lu Jingang is only three years older than Lu Xize. He’s steady, handsome, turning thirty without having met someone he loves, remaining single and considered a golden bachelor. Many socialites and heiresses have their eyes on the position of Mrs. Lu, but Lu Jingang’s reputation is not too great; some say he’s quick-tempered and ruthless, making him hard to deal with. So, while many women covet the position of Mrs. Lu, they’re also afraid of Lu Jingang himself.
Therefore, Lu Xize became a sought-after prospect. Although he’s not involved in the family business and has started his own ventures, he still holds shares, and marrying him wouldn’t be a bad deal.
"Is that so? Then I really need to have a talk with my old man about this. What do they take our Lu Family for? They’re more eager to sell their daughters than anything else." Lu Xize despised such families, who, despite having dignity, threw it all away for money and status, letting others trample their self-esteem.
"Alright, I’ve said everything I need to say, so I’m leaving. Since I just helped you out, shouldn’t you thank me properly?" Seeing Lu Xize fuming, Yun Xi waved, raised her eyebrows, and looked at him with a meaningful gaze.
"What do you mean?" Lu Xize wasn’t sure what she was implying.
"Nothing much! Cen Jin, Ye Lingran, and I just had a meal in Zone B. You’re paying for your table anyway, so why not cover ours too? Mr. Lu is so generous, I’m sure you won’t refuse! Of course not, I knew you wouldn’t refuse, so thank you in advance for your hospitality, Mr. Lu! Bye now, hope we never meet again." Yun Xi answered her own question, leaving no room for Lu Xize to respond, and left quickly with Ye Lingran.
"Hey! Hey! Yun Xi, stop right there, I haven’t agreed yet! Yun Xi!" Lu Xize watched as she left the bill with him and hurried after her, only for the server to stop him, handing him both checks with a smile.
Left at a loss, Lu Xize gritted his teeth in frustration but had no choice. He reluctantly took out his card and paid the bill. As he exited the restaurant, he took a deep breath, pondering Yun Xi’s words before calling his older brother, Lu Jingang, to explain the situation.
