Chapter 67 No, I’m Unrequited Love
Lu Gang's words completely embarrassed Qiao Yuanyu. The Grand Marshal of the Empire took a deep breath and advised, "General, I can think of a way, but my daughter hasn't recognized me yet, so some things can't be rushed."
Lu Gang asked, "Why haven't you recognized each other yet?"
Qiao Yuanyu said: "You also know that I have offended many people in my life..."
Lu Anguo understood and said, "Your daughter is your weakness, right? You're afraid that others will use her to threaten you, so you're trying to protect her."
Qiao Yuanyu nodded. "Although I haven't publicly acknowledged her, my Qiao family recognizes this daughter. Our resources will be allocated to her. She is our only daughter."
Lu Gang: "I know, I know, your precious eyes."
Lu Gang thought for a moment and then said, "This matter has no impact, but I want to meet Qiao Ye."
Qiao Yuanyu rolled his eyes and said, "Not now, there will be opportunities in the future."
Lu Gang patted his thigh, realizing he had achieved his goal and no longer needed to push his luck. "Alright, we've finished the important stuff, let's go back first. You don't have to see me off, just sit here."
After saying that, Lu Gang and Lu Anguo stood up domineeringly and left the Qiao family manor one after the other.
…
Qiao Xiu entered Qiao Yuanyu's room.
The father and son collided with each other in cold air.
Qiao Xiu said in a slightly cold voice, "You arranged for Qiao Ye to be engaged again without my permission?"
Qiao Xiu's tone was harsh, and Qiao Yuanyu felt choked up.
He turned around and said, "In your eyes, I am an unkind person who uses my daughter for personal gain, right?"
Qiao Yuanyu held a cigar in his hand, and the ash of the cigar fell on the table.
Qiao Xiu sneered, "Isn't it?"
Qiao Yuanyu suppressed his anger and said, "Qiao Xiu, besides the nine armies of the empire, there is also the royal family. If the royal family knew that I have a daughter, what do you think they would do?"
What would they do? To protect their power, they would definitely try to marry the generalissimo's daughter.
But is the royal family a clean place?
Qiao Xiu's expression was unpredictable.
Qiao Yuanyu said: "She is not only your sister, she is also my daughter. Compared with the royal family, the Lu family is much cleaner and can better protect Qiao Ye."
The study door slammed shut and Qiao Xiu left the study.
…
Lu Chi originally planned to meet Qiao Ye, but he happened to see a group of mechas returning to the campus. He ran over and saw that they were the mechas of instructor Fei Ziming and others.
Lu Chi stepped forward and asked, "Chief Instructor, do you have any new missions?"
Fei Ziming had just gotten off the mecha and said to Lu Chi, "The Admiral and Lieutenant General are back and were attacked on the way."
Lu Chi was not panicked. He asked, "Have they caught everyone?"
Fei Ziming looked at the little fellow in surprise: "Lu Chi, you don't seem to be worried about the safety of the Admiral and the Lieutenant General?"
Lu Chi also looked him up and down and said, "If something happened to my grandfather and my father, you wouldn't look so relaxed. So they must be fine."
Fei Ziming chuckled softly: "They are all fine and are going to the Qiao family now."
As Fei Ziming finished speaking, his brain beeped twice. He opened it and said to Lu Chi, "Lu Chi, your grandfather and your father have returned to the Lu family. They are asking you to come home."
Lu Chi hummed and said, "Lend me a mecha."
Fei Ziming gave him a military mecha that didn't require DNA recognition. Lu Chi boarded the mecha and flew straight home.
At the Lu Family Manor, before Lu Chi's mecha landed, a ten-star mecha appeared from the side and slashed at him with the back of its blade. Lu Chi stepped back and recognized that it was his grandfather's mecha.
The corner of his mouth twitched. Grandpa was quite old and had a strong desire to play.
How could he not satisfy his grandfather?
He controlled the mecha to turn on its toes, rushed to the side a few steps, and then suddenly changed direction. The big knife chopped directly at the ten-star mecha, and the ten-star mecha caught it steadily.
Adults accompany children, and there is a power confrontation.
Lu Anguo watched from the second-floor balcony, a glimmer of satisfaction gradually appearing in his eyes.
The grandfather and grandson fought for several rounds, and finally Lu Chi waved his hands and begged for mercy: "Grandpa, no more fighting."
It is really a sin to let his five-star mecha fight against his grandfather's ten-star mecha.
Lu Gang said with a grin, "I haven't had enough fun yet!"
Lu Chi said helplessly: "Grandpa, this is only a five-star mecha, how can I fight it?"
Lu Gang: "Never mind, come down, I have some good news to tell you."
Lu Chi got off the mecha, and Lu Gang and he walked back to the villa arm in arm.
In the Lu family study, there were three people, grandfather and grandson. Grandpa sat in the boss chair next to the desk, Lu Chi sat on the sofa, and Lu Anguo stood by the window looking out.
Lu Gang and Lu Anguo had discussed this matter, and Lu Gang told Lu Chi personally. So Lu Anguo remained silent.
Lu Chi smiled and said, "Grandpa, what's the good news?"
Lu Gang said, "Lu Chi, your engagement with the daughter of the Qiao family has been revived. However, the Grand Marshal couldn't bear to part with his daughter, so you're marrying into the family."
Lu Chi's face visibly fell. "What?"
Lu Gang: "Your engagement with the Qiao family's daughter has been revived. Don't you like the Qiao family very much? You should have no problem marrying into the Qiao family."
Lu Chi stood up immediately. "Why? If there's an engagement, then there's an engagement. If there's an engagement, then there's an engagement. If there's an engagement, then there's an engagement. If there's an engagement, then there's an engagement. Have you ever asked for my opinion or how I feel?"
Lu Anguo was a little surprised when he heard this. "Weren't you unwilling when I asked you to cancel the engagement?"
Lu Chi: "That was then, and now is now!"
Lu Anguo frowned. Knowing his son well, he guessed directly, "Do you have someone you like?"
Lu Chi remained silent, which was equivalent to his agreement.
Lu Anguo and Lu Gang, who thought they had done a good thing, fell silent.
Lu Gang wanted to persuade his grandson, so he said, "Country, country, first the country, then the family. For generations, the Lu family has been defending the country. But now, the situation is a little different."
Lu Gang: "Level 7 Zerg are beginning to appear more frequently, and the Dark Tribe are also active on various planets. Your father and I have already encountered five assassination attempts this year."
Lu Chi's expression changed from anger to heavy.
Lu Anguo's face was heavy: "If the Lu family wants to go all out, they must settle everything in the rear. Moreover, we really need the support of the Qiao family."
Lu Chi: "I will go to be a son to the Qiao family."
Lu Anguo: "A godson is different from a son-in-law. After all, the daughter of the Qiao family is the apple of the Qiao family's eye. When you two get married, Qiao Yuanyu will definitely take better care of you for his daughter."
Lu Chi sneered: "You guys even planned this? You weren't like this before."
Lu Gang: "How did you talk to your father? If we were purely calculating our own interests, we'd be dead right now. We're not! Lu Chi, we're the ones fighting on the front lines, giving it our all!"
Lu Chi was silent, his eyes slightly red. He knew that everything his grandfather and father did was for him and for the Lu family.
Grandpa, dad, and brother are all fighting on the front lines, living their lives not knowing whether there will be a tomorrow. They place the last bit of hope in their hearts on themselves.
Does he have to bear it?
Lu Anguo suddenly asked: "Do you and the child you like love each other?"
Lu Chi lowered his head, his eyes becoming redder and redder.
The boy turned his head away. "No, I have a one-sided love. She doesn't know I like her, and she probably doesn't like me either."
Lu Anguo walked forward and patted his shoulder with his broad hand.
"Fortunately, we don't have to let the child down." Lu Anguo said.
Arranged marriages are indeed a bit unfair to one's own children, but fortunately, they do not hurt the feelings of other children.
Lu Chi lowered his head and suddenly wiped his eyes with his hands. He turned and left the study.
Lu Anguo looked at his son's back and felt a little uncomfortable.
Lu Gang said, "Let him think about it himself. He'll figure it out."
Lu Chi returned to the room, sat on the bed, and remained silent for an hour.
Then he got up from the bed, went back to the study, opened the refrigerator's refrigerator compartment, and looked at the ice sculptures in the refrigerator for another hour.
He turned on his computer and saw the photos of Qiao Ye that he had taken or saved intentionally or unintentionally.
Either cheerful, or unlucky, or smiling, or angry.
Every photo is so vivid.
He long-pressed the photo, wanting to delete it, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.
He moved all of Qiao Ye's photos into a folder, thinking that he could just delete the folder with one click.
But in the end, I still couldn't do it.
He lay in his bed.
A message popped up on the optical brain.
Dad: Lu Chi, I've contacted Qiao Xiu, and he promised to introduce you to his sister tomorrow. After the mecha competition tomorrow morning, go directly to the Qiao Family Manor.
Lu Chi: Got it.
Lu Chi lay on the bed with his right hand on his forehead.
Dad was right. Fortunately, he only had a crush on her, and fortunately, he didn’t have to let Ye Qiao down.
