Chapter 149: Chapter 149: Song Sinian is not a meddlesome person

“You wouldn’t want Zhaozhao to be outshone by Wen Jin, right? Then we could join forces like before, how about that?”

“…”

Song Sinian didn’t respond, just quietly watched Xia Wenjue.

“For Zhaozhao’s sake! You wouldn’t want her to suddenly be told about the Xia Family’s identity and be upset, would you?” Xia Wenjue blinked slightly smugly.

“…”

Song Sinian’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, indeed unable to deny it.

He remained silent for a moment, finally nodding slowly.

Xia Wenjue pouted, “You know, if you were a king, you’d probably lose your kingdom.”

Song Sinian looked at him somberly, “The same goes for you.”

“…”

The two of them were pretty much in the same boat.

Xia Wenjue shrugged noncommittally. He sat up, reached for a water bottle nearby, took a sip, and murmured, “Speaking of which, I have to thank you.”

He twisted the cap back on and continued, “If I hadn’t heard about the internal turmoil in our group from Zhaozhao, I would never have thought to conduct an internal investigation.”

Someone used a diversion to deceive the public, creating issues through domestic shell companies.

The issues found this time weren’t major, but if it grew, it could become extremely troublesome.

Fortunately, it was caught early.

Song Sinian’s eyebrows pressed down slightly, and he asked unintentionally, “Did Zhaozhao tell you?”

Xia Wenjue nodded, “Yeah, I know you investigated the Xia Family out of concern for Zhaozhao, but indeed, I have to thank you for this.”

“…”

Song Sinian’s dark eyes blinked, saying nothing.

He was no longer surprised by what Lu Zhaozhao might do.

Whether it was previously worrying about Xia Wenyan doing drugs, or worrying that Xia Wenmo might die.

Or preventing him from acquiring a highly sought-after mineral resource, or merely lending money without participating in the Lu Group’s overseas orders.

All of this made Song Sinian feel something was off, as if she had experienced it all herself.

Now that Lu Zhaozhao could mention the internal turmoil of the XJ Group that even Xia Wenjue was unaware of, it seemed the situation with the Xia Family was more complicated than he had imagined.

Song Sinian’s dark eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Xia Wenjue, “Is there a possibility that Xia Wenyan is using drugs?”

Xia Wenjue’s eyebrows shot up, replying instinctively, “Anyone might do drugs, but not that boy. His personality is straightforward, and he doesn’t hide things. He–”

He stopped abruptly in mid-sentence.

Xia Wenjue seemed to realize something, staring intensely at Song Sinian, “Have you discovered something I don’t know about?”

Song Sinian was not someone who meddled in other people’s affairs.

If he suddenly brought up Xia Wenyan, there must be an issue!

Thinking of the incident where the program Xia Wenyan was on was reported, forcing a drug test, he found it quite strange.

He only thought it might be someone maliciously delaying the start time of the program.

It was malignant competition within the entertainment industry.

Now thinking about it, he never caught the person who made the report…

Xia Wenjue’s eyes narrowed, If Song Sinian was behind this, then it made sense.

He certainly had the capabilities.

Song Sinian no longer looked at Xia Wenjue, simply replying lightly, “Pay more attention to the personal safety of the Xia Family members, including yourself.”

If the matter of Xia Wenyan wasn’t an isolated incident but targeted at the Xia Family, then Xia Wenyan was just the beginning.

It wouldn’t hurt for Xia Wenjue to be more cautious.

“!!!”

Xia Wenjue was shocked–he hadn’t expected Song Sinian’s response to be like this.

His expression visibly darkened, it seemed he had underestimated the situation.

Fortunately, Lu Zhaozhao had not yet publicly revealed her identity as the Xia Family’s daughter.

If it was as Song Sinian had said, Lu Zhaozhao might also be in danger!

He would have to thoroughly eliminate this trash before Lu Zhaozhao’s identity was disclosed!

Monday, morning.

When Lu Zhaozhao returned to school, she always felt that the looks from the people around her were somewhat odd.

Did everyone already know that she had severed ties with the Lu Family?

“Zhaozhao, what are you thinking about?” Xu Zhenzhen gently tapped her forehead.

Seeing her soulless appearance upon arriving at school, Xu Zhenzhen couldn’t help worrying.

Recently, there were too many rumors about Lu Zhaozhao, especially regarding her issues with the Lu Family, which were causing quite a stir.

She was a bit worried that Lu Zhaozhao wouldn’t be able to cope.

Lu Zhaozhao rubbed her forehead and chuckled lightly, “It’s nothing, I just feel that people’s gazes are a bit strange…”

“Strange?” Xu Zhenzhen looked around and pouted, “That… Is it not normal?”

Lu Zhaozhao raised an eyebrow, “Normal? Is it because of the Lu Family?”

It was the first time she realized the Lu Family had such influence, enough to disturb the students at her school.

Although their school had its share of celebutantes and young masters from the Shangjing Circle, this seemed a bit much…

Xu Zhenzhen shook her head, “You really pay no attention to the basic dynamics of our school’s forum…”

As she spoke, she took out her phone, opened the interface, and handed it to Lu Zhaozhao, “Here, the recent ranking of school beauties and bachelors, you’re ranked first. The school promotional film is probably a done deal.”

“Huh?” Lu Zhaozhao’s face scrunched up.

Her? School beauty? First? Promotional film?

What was this nonsense?

“Those people you think are weird might actually be Xia Wenjin’s fans,” Xu Zhenzhen said, lowering her voice deliberately, “I heard she has always wanted to vie for this promotional film and even had her dad donate a hefty sum to our school.”

As she spoke, she scrolled further down the forum, “Here, look, quite a few posts say your photo doesn’t match the real you, some even intentionally posted blurred photos, but a lot of people took your pictures and uploaded them to debunk the claims, the results were hilarious…”

As Xu Zhenzhen spoke, it seemed as if something suddenly occurred to her.

She immediately turned on the camera on her phone and snapped a few shots of Lu Zhaozhao’s face.

“Tsk tsk… Just now someone said the distant and close-up views are different, I’m going to send a high-definition picture to swell her face up!”

Lu Zhaozhao looked at Xu Zhenzhen with a bit of a laugh and cry, “Can’t you act a bit more dignified? Is it worth fussing over such things?”

Xu Zhenzhen replied as she shook her head, “You don’t understand the feeling of using evidence to grind someone down, one word, satisfying~”

Lu Zhaozhao watched Xu Zhenzhen helplessly and was just about to speak when the light beside her was suddenly blocked by someone.

She turned her head and just saw Xia Wenjin walking toward her.

Lu Zhaozhao’s brows tightened slightly, her eyes full of resistance.

At the auction before, Xia Wenjin had picked a quarrel with her, and now she was here again?

Didn’t she ever get tired of it?

With that time, wouldn’t it be better to seduce the future CEO of XJ Group?

Seeing Xia Wenjin approaching, Lu Zhaozhao silently sighed, looked up at her and the two lackeys behind her, “What is it this time?”
