Chapter 151: Chapter 151 This time, of course, will be no exception…

Justin was the regional vice president of XJ Group, and indeed, a good marriage prospect for Song Keren.

Song Sinian’s eyes slightly drooped, “Had Justin associated with Xia Wenjin before?”

He remembered that once, when Lu Zhaozhao and Xia Wenjue went out to buy clothes, they seemed to have run into Justin.

At that time, although Xia Wenjue didn’t go into details, he was quite sure Xia Wenjin was also present.

Zhao Xi was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly, “Yes, when Justin first arrived in the country, many were vying for the chance to connect with him. At that time, Lu Group had the upper hand in a partnership with Song Group, so this opportunity was snatched by Lu Dagui.”

As far as he knew, Xia Wenjin served as Justin’s guide, but Xia Wenjin had also only just arrived in the country not long ago…

The Lu Family probably felt that the chances of marrying Xia Wenjin into the Song Family were slim, so they settled for the next best thing, right?

Song Sinian’s dark pupils narrowed, “The cooperation between the Lu Family and Xiao Jinglan seemed quite good a few days ago. If they knew that both parties have the same goal now, I wonder if they would be even happier?”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xi’s eyes instantly brightened.

What a great idea!

Both the Lu Family and Xiao Jinglan’s side wanted to win over Justin.

Such a big piece of the pie; neither wanted to let go. It’d be interesting to see who was more ruthless in the end.

With Justin drawing their attention away, they wouldn’t keep their focus on Lu Zhaozhao.

Tsk tsk, deserving of their Mr.. He grasped the crux of the matter so quickly!

It looked like there would be a good show to watch in the future…

At the same time, Lu Zhaozhao and Xia Wenqing had already arrived at the Lu Family.

At that moment, Xia Wenjin was also just picked up by the driver and returned to the Lu Family.

Seeing Lu Zhaozhao and Xia Wenqing together, her eyebrows immediately knitted in displeasure.

She let out a cold snort, “Someone who’s barely seen at work brings you here. Lu Zhaozhao, you really do have quite the prestige!”

Without thinking, Xia Wenqing blurted out, “Because our Zhaozhao deserves to be treated well by us brothers, unlike some ingrates whose kindness is a waste!”

Who he referred to as the ingrate, they all knew too well.

Xia Wenjin was about to retort when the door opened.

Cao Mei glanced at the few people at the door, and her brows instantly furrowed.

Her gaze circled around, finally landing on Xia Wenqing, “And you are?”

Xia Wenjin immediately walked over and grabbed Cao Mei’s arm, “Mom, he is Xia Wenqing, the second son of the Xia Family, and Lu Zhaozhao’s current brother.”

With one statement, she disassociated herself from Xia Wenqing.

She was now a daughter of the Lu Family, nothing to do with the Xia Family!

Upon hearing this, Cao Mei’s brows shot up, casting a cold glance at Xia Wenqing.

Since Xia Wenjin had spoken of suffering a lot in the Xia Family, she had no good feelings toward this member of the Xia Family.

Not to mention the ever-troublesome Lu Zhaozhao.

Cao Mei glanced at the two, “Alright, don’t stand at the door. If you have something to say, come inside.”

“`

If it weren’t for the fact that she still had business with Lu Zhaozhao, she wouldn’t have wanted these two from the Xia Family to step foot in the door.

Xia Wenqing could also feel the fire in his belly watching Cao Mei’s attitude towards Lu Zhaozhao.

He had already known that the Lu Family wasn’t kind to Lu Zhaozhao; now, seeing it with his own eyes, his anger was rising rapidly.

He wished he could dismantle the Lu Family’s gates on the spot, but with Lu Zhaozhao by his side, he had to press down his fiery temper for the time being.

The group followed Cao Mei into the living room, and just as they sat down, Cao Mei slowly began, “Zhaozhao, you’ve been with our family for 20 years, and in those 20 years, your father and I have provided for your food and drink…”

“Mrs. Lu, let’s skip the trip down memory lane, shall we? If there’s something you need to say, just get to the point.” Lu Zhaozhao, hearing Cao Mei preparing to launch into a lengthy discourse, decisively steered the conversation to the main topic.

She really didn’t have the time to listen to her ramble on.

Cao Mei, interrupted by Lu Zhaozhao, immediately displayed dissatisfaction on her face, “You’ve been at the Song Family for such a short time, and now you’re so arrogant? You can’t even let me finish speaking?”

Beside her, Xia Wenjin gave Lu Zhaozhao a disdainful glance, chiming in to cover for Cao Mei: “Now that she’s Mrs. Song, second to none and above the rest, how could she not feel proud?”

Xia Wenqing’s face instantly darkened, and a sinister smile crept onto his lips, “Mrs. Lu carries quite the official air, doesn’t she? Zhaozhao is here because you insisted she come, not because we wanted to– whom are you trying to fool with your cynical remarks?”

Bully his sister right under his nose?

That’s a joke!

If he let them succeed, where would he, a legal sector big shot, put his face?

“What do you mean by that?” Cao Mei’s eyes were locked tightly on Xia Wenqing, “As an elder correcting her misguided views, what’s the problem? She shows no respect for her elders at such a young age, how generous of the Xia Family people!”

Her sarcasm was particularly biting on the word “generous,” as if she wanted to “heh” sarcastically right in Xia Wenqing’s face.

Xia Wenqing looked at Cao Mei with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, “I don’t know about the Xia Family being generous or not, but we certainly don’t disrespect our elders like Mrs. Lu does.”

For her, to have the nerve to call herself Lu Zhaozhao’s elder?

What a shameless claim!

His tone was as light as if he were commenting on fine weather, which infuriated Cao Mei in an instant.

“You!” She was about to say something more, but Xia Wenjin yanked her abruptly.

Cao Mei came to her senses, and only then did she remember the reason she had asked Lu Zhaozhao to come today.

Suppressing the anger in her heart, she shot a glare at Xia Wenqing, “I can’t be bothered to stoop to your level!”

She took a deep breath, turned her gaze to Lu Zhaozhao, and said, “Since you don’t want to listen to my rambling, let’s be straightforward then. I want you to publicly clarify and rectify the misunderstanding with Jin, restore her innocence, and as for the promotional video for the school, you probably don’t want to participate, right? It’s better to clear the air sooner.”

“…”

“…”

Lu Zhaozhao’s mouth twitched, her gaze steady on Cao Mei, at a loss for words to describe how she felt at the moment.

The incident between her and Xia Wenjin could be considered a misunderstanding?

Did Cao Mei think she was stupid, or that the netizens online were stupid?

As for the school promotional video, she indeed had no plans to participate, but… now that Cao Mei had said it like that, just to spite her, she was determined to take part!

Seeing that Lu Zhaozhao hadn’t spoken, Cao Mei thought her previous words were practically set in stone, so she continued, “You must know about the Lu Family’s reservation at the SJJ Hotel being canceled, right? Even if all the hotels under the Song Group refuse the Lu Family’s business, Jin’s status as the Lu Family’s beloved daughter won’t change. Let’s not be so immature about it.”

Although other hotels could host parties for Xia Wenjin, doing so at SJJ, a high-end hotel would signify a higher level of regard and highlight their esteem for Wen Jin.

Naturally, if they could snag such an opportunity, they would fight for it, especially since Lu Zhaozhao had always been easy to speak with–this time would surely be no exception…
