Chapter 49: Chapter 49 She Wants to Take Back Everything That Belongs to Her!

“`

Besides the lecturer of this lecture, there was also an extremely eye-catching young man by his side.

He wore a sharp suit, had a tall and slender figure, and bore a cold yet handsome appearance, with an innate elegance and nobility.

Just one glance was enough to make him unforgettable.

“Oh my god, that’s the big shot! He’s way too handsome! Even celebrities in the entertainment industry can’t compare!”

“Ah!!! I can handle it! This kind of big shot is truly mesmerizing!”

“Mommy, I’m in love! I wonder if this big shot’s sexuality could be a little more flexible.”

…

Lu Zhaozhao listened speechlessly to the messy comments around her, feeling a throbbing in her temples.

If only she had thought more about Aunt Qian’s sunny glance when she sent her away, she wouldn’t have been so greatly shocked.

Song Sinian must have come because of the rumors on the school forum, right?

His appearance at the school could indeed clear her reputation, but… she remembered that in her previous life, he never attended such lectures.

Wasn’t it a bit too forced?

As she was worrying, her gaze accidentally met his.

Dead, she was dead; they made eye contact!

However, luckily for her, after Song Sinian looked at her, he turned towards the host and began to speak.

“Hey, hey, did that big shot just look at me?”

“Look at you? He was probably looking at the window.”

“You think? Don’t flatter yourself! With the many admirers around such a big shot, why would he take a fancy to the likes of us?”

…

Lu Zhaozhao quietly breathed a sigh of relief, just about to bury her head and pretend to be an anonymous person when the people beside her got excited again.

“Ah!!! The big shot is coming this way!”

“My goodness! What does the big shot want to do?”

“Should we prepare to get an autograph?!”

…

As Lu Zhaozhao listened to the commotion, she blankly raised her head to look towards the podium of the lecture hall, only to have her view blocked by a silhouette.

Her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she silently lifted her face.

“Do you feel uncomfortable lying on the desk?” Song Sinian’s hand touched Lu Zhaozhao’s head as he spoke in a gentle tone.

Lu Zhaozhao could almost hear everyone around her gasp.

She silently sighed and shook her head lightly, “I’m not uncomfortable; I just felt like lying down.”

Song Sinian casually pinched her cheek, “Then listen to the lecture properly, okay?”

Hearing the inflection in his voice, Lu Zhaozhao clearly felt she was being flirted with.

She instinctively turned her eyes away, not daring to look at him, but her burning ears betrayed her thoughts to some extent.

Song Sinian’s eyebrows rose slightly, “You are… Um.”

He hadn’t finished his sentence when Lu Zhaozhao quickly covered his mouth.

She stared at Song Sinian nervously, her eyes shimmering with a bright light, and said in a fierce whisper, “You can’t say it!”

Song Sinian found her behavior amusing; not only were her ear tips red, but now her earlobes were too.

His gaze fell on her small hand covering his mouth, he hummed softly, and then Lu Zhaozhao let go of her hand.

After this series of actions, the surrounding gazes felt like they were drilling a hole through her.

“`

Lu Zhaozhao gently tugged at Song Sinian’s sleeve, whispering, “The lecture is about to start…”

Song Sinian glanced at the podium in the amphitheater-style classroom and then back at Lu Zhaozhao.

He ruffled her small head with his large hand, “Mmm, pay attention in class. I’ll pick you up after school and take you home.”

“…”

Throughout the lecture, Lu Zhaozhao had no mind to listen, not only because Song Sinian’s words had just stirred her up.

It was more the fervent gazes from others that bothered her.

Before, due to the forum posts, everyone was merely curious about her, but now that Song Sinian’s identity had been revealed, their looks had grown significantly more complex.

And in the amphitheater-style classroom, Xia Wenjin found her emotions hardest to calm.

She could never have dreamed that Lu Zhaozhao’s husband would be so handsome, nor could she have imagined his tenderness toward her…

Xia Wenjin’s jealousy grew even more pronounced.

All of these were supposed to be hers!

It was Lu Zhaozhao who had taken her place as the Lu Family’s precious daughter, thus acquiring everything she now had!

She couldn’t stand to wait another moment! She wanted her identity back!

She wanted to reclaim everything that belonged to her!

That included Song Sinian!

As soon as school was out, Xia Wenjin rushed out of the school nonstop.

She needed to go straight to the Lu Family and talk to Cao Mei about the marriage arrangement with the Song Family.

Just as she reached the school gates, suddenly someone stepped in her path.

Xia Wenjin was about to explode in anger when the figure suddenly spoke, “Wen Jin, it’s me, your fourth brother.”

Xia Wenjin was taken aback for a moment, her eyebrows lifting instantly, her eyes filled with confusion.

Wasn’t Xia Wenyan supposed to be attending a variety show? Why was he available now?

Surely he hadn’t been eliminated from the contest before it even started?

Nowadays, to advance, the trainees had to have backing. Although Xia Wenyan was a bit popular now, most of it was due to his looks.

If his backing company didn’t promote him, there was no chance of him debuting.

Thinking this, Xia Wenjin’s gaze towards Xia Wenyan couldn’t help but take on shades of impatience.

Xia Wenyan saw Xia Wenjin staring at him without uttering a word, so he asked, “I saw you hurrying out of school just now–did something happen?”

Xia Wenjin shrugged her shoulders, “Nothing much.”

Even if she told him, Xia Wenyan couldn’t help her anyway.

She sighed quietly to herself and asked offhand, “What brings you to school? Weren’t you supposed to be on a variety show?”

Xia Wenyan crossed his arms and let out a resigned sigh, “That was the plan, but last night, where we were staying got raided all of a sudden. Out of a hundred trainees, seven or eight got caught using drugs. Now the show’s been postponed, and the company is launching a full-scale internal investigation.”

The company was conducting an internal check, so he happened to have time to come out.

The time when Lu Zhaozhao had come to the Xia Family, each brother had given her a gift, only his had been returned and ended up being worn by their family’s pet dog.

It wasn’t true if he said he wasn’t upset.

Thinking this, Xia Wenyan’s eyelids drooped as he looked at Xia Wenjin with a smile and said, “Wen Jin, your fourth brother is about to compete on a variety show. Aren’t you going to cheer me on and show some support?”

Xia Wenjin immediately became wary. Although she usually got along with Xia Wenyan alright, he hadn’t sought her out this frequently before.

Could it be because he knew she had been to the Lu Family and now had some money, so he wanted to get some from her?

Hesitating for a moment, she pretended to be distressed and said, “Fourth brother, you know, a girl’s expenses are quite high, and I really don’t have extra money to give you. Maybe I should ask Mom?”

Her words immediately shattered Xia Wenyan’s hopes for a gift, and he lost his enthusiasm in an instant.

Suddenly, he looked up and just happened to see Lu Zhaozhao walking by in the distance…
