Chapter 156: Chapter 156: You Have a Sweet Mouth

For some reason, she always felt that Song Sinian’s gaze was a bit dangerous now.

Had her recent act of coquetry failed to fool him?

Lu Zhaozhao pursed her lips, wondering if she could find another way through, “Song…”

“Shh.” Song Sinian suddenly pressed his index finger to her lips, his tone low, “Now, let’s talk about the compensation plan, Mrs. Song…”

“…”

The next day, Lu Zhaozhao, utterly exhausted, slumped over her desk in class.

Xu Zhenzhen, seeing her state, couldn’t help but chuckle teasingly, “What did you do last night? You look like a spirit drained of its essence…”

Lu Zhaozhao gave Xu Zhenzhen a despairing look and sighed, “If there really was a spirit, it must have been as handsome as our Mr. Song from the Lu Family. Otherwise, how could he drain me just by his looks?”

“…”

Hearing this, Xu Zhenzhen’s gossip flame burned even brighter.

She raised an eyebrow and leaned close to Lu Zhaozhao, whispering, “So, last night you guys…”

“Stop, clean out all that yellow waste you’re imagining in your head!” Lu Zhaozhao pressed a small hand to Xu Zhenzhen’s face without a second thought.

With a look of despair, she said, “I was ‘exercised’ by Mr. Song in the study for the whole night, literally exercised, aerobic exercise.”

Though she was explosive in strength, this type of long-duration stamina exercise was definitely her weak point.

Because she had caught a cold from the rain before, Song Sinian demanded that she exercise at home 2-3 times a week, and even set up a small gym next to the study for her.

Lu Zhaozhao truly felt like fainting in the bathroom yesterday.

As an explosive athlete, she figured she might die from aerobic exercise.

Listening to Lu Zhaozhao’s complaints, Xu Zhenzhen nearly fell off her chair laughing.

“Good Lord, do you two really want to kill someone with laughter? Isn’t that time of night supposed to be all romantic and sweet? I bet if the conditions near your place allowed, Song Sinian would want to take you out for a 20-kilometer march.”

“No need at all!”

She didn’t want to die young.

Lu Zhaozhao sighed deeply and slumped down on the table once again.

Xu Zhenzhen casually took a strand of her hair and started braiding it, asking, “Did you see Xia Wenjin’s Weibo?”

“Huh?” Lu Zhaozhao turned her little head around, her eyebrows slightly raised, completely missing Xu Zhenzhen’s point.

Why should she check Xia Wenjin’s Weibo?

Xu Zhenzhen shook her head helplessly, “You really don’t worry about anything. Xia Wenjin is practically trying to emulate you in every way, and here you are, not caring at all…”

Lu Zhaozhao’s eyes narrowed instantly, and she hugged Xu Zhenzhen’s arm, “Isn’t that what I have you for, to keep tabs so I don’t have to worry?”

Xu Zhenzhen pinched Lu Zhaozhao’s cheek, “Sweet talker.”

“Of course, you fall for it every time~”

“…”

Xu Zhenzhen pursed her lips and pulled an invitation from her desk, placing it in front of Lu Zhaozhao, “Here, this is Xia Wenjin’s invitation, saying it’s to celebrate her return to the Lu Family, specially inviting the whole class.”

Lu Zhaozhao blinked, not seeing any issue.

She knew when she was called to the Lu Family previously that they were planning a grand celebration for Xia Wenjin, to publicly declare her status and show their appreciation.

Thanks to Song Sinian’s intervention, however, all the hotels under the Song Group were off-limits to the Lu Family.

So the Lu Family could only settle for another hotel.

Knowing Cao Mei well, she would surely make it up to Xia Wenjin elsewhere.

Either it’s clothes or jewelry and the like.

Xu Zhenzhen noticed Lu Zhaozhao’s lack of reaction and frowned, “Don’t you find this invitation familiar?”

Lu Zhaozhao shook her head, “No.”

Xu Zhenzhen glanced at Lu Zhaozhao again and decisively pulled out her phone, scrolling through it before handing it over, “Take a look for yourself.”

Lu Zhaozhao skeptically furrowed her brows and looked at Xu Zhenzhen’s phone. That glance surprisingly widened her eyes considerably.

“Did Xia Wenjin prepare an invitation for me too?”

The screen Xu Zhenzhen had opened was Xia Wenjin’s Weibo.

She had posted several people’s invitations there, and one of them had the name “Lu Zhaozhao” in big letters.

Xu Zhenzhen snorted lightly, “I was wondering how Xia Wenjin had the nerve to send you an invitation, she was clearly plotting something sinister!”

“…”

Lu Zhaozhao had not expected Xia Wenjin to pull such tricks even at a banquet.

But upon thinking it over, Lu Zhaozhao quickly realized.

Xia Wenjin had just signed with a talent agency and was aiming to break into the entertainment industry; naturally, she needed to stay relevant.

The best way now was to keep stirring the pot on previous controversies.

Although a large part of it was criticisms, being infamous was still a form of fame.

For celebrities, it didn’t matter whether it was bad fame or good fame, as long as there was buzz, it would suffice.

Xu Zhenzhen’s brows also frowned, “Zhaozhao, what do you plan to do now?”

What Xia Wenjin and her group were doing was simply to disgust Lu Zhaozhao.

Claiming to have invited Lu Zhaozhao outwardly, but in actuality, they hadn’t sent her an invitation at all.

On the day of the banquet, they would surely make a big deal about Lu Zhaozhao not attending.

The more Xu Zhenzhen thought about it, the more upset she became. This bunch of trash was clearly trying to exploit Lu Zhaozhao.

Even though the comments under the Weibo post were overwhelmingly negative, there were still people defending Xia Wenjin.

Lu Zhaozhao pondered for a moment, her gaze moving towards Xu Zhenzhen’s invitation, her bright eyes narrowing, “Since they’ve invited me, wouldn’t it be bad if I didn’t go?”

“???”

Xu Zhenzhen looked perplexedly at Lu Zhaozhao, her eyebrows arching, “Are you sure you want to go?”

Actually, Xia Wenjin inviting the whole class to attend the banquet was something Xu Zhenzhen initially planned to ignore.

But now that Lu Zhaozhao was going, she would have to be there no matter what.

She definitely couldn’t let Xia Wenjin’s little bitch succeed!

Lu Zhaozhao nodded, “I am definitely going, but I need to pick the right time to make an appearance. Xia Wenjin has set such a big stage for me, wouldn’t it be a waste if I don’t go and put on a show for her?”

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhenzhen immediately understood Lu Zhaozhao’s intention.

Her eyes also narrowed, her lips curling slightly, “Do you need me to coordinate with you from the inside and out?”

How could she miss out on watching Xia Wenjin make a fool of herself?

Lu Zhaozhao couldn’t help but chuckle lightly, “Of course, if you’re willing, let’s go to the banquet and leave them with nothing!”
