Chapter 304: Chapter 302: Destroy Her Ship, May Lightning Strike!
Her fourth brother and Pei Huai were already having a tough time, and Xia Wenjin actually wanted to use her to create misunderstandings.
Destroy her CP, may thunder strike!
It was bearable, but she fucking couldn’t bear it anymore!
People present probably didn’t expect Lu Zhaozhao to react so fiercely, so much so that they stopped brawling.
And Xia Wenjin was completely stunned by Lu Zhaozhao’s slap, with no idea how to retort.
Seeing this, Lu Zhaozhao simply went "crazy" to the end, "I’m warning you, Xia Wenjin, don’t come provoking me! My husband is all about love, and so am I! If I see you trying to sabotage our marital relationship again, I will rip your mouth apart!"
As she spoke, she looked ready to pounce and fiercely beat up Xia Wenjin.
Xia Wenyan, seeing this, immediately hugged Lu Zhaozhao from behind.
She was small and delicate, and now encircled by Xia Wenyan, she looked like a little white cat wanting to take someone down a notch.
But no matter how lethal it tried to be with its claws, in contrast to Xia Wenyan’s height, it all seemed merely adorable.
Sun Qian originally looked down on Lu Zhaozhao due to her close relationship with Pei Huai.
After all, there were numerous people in showbiz who messed around even after getting married.
But Lu Zhaozhao’s words just now had reversed Sun Qian’s perception, convincing her there was nothing shady between her and Pei Huai as she had imagined.
Although Sun Qian still didn’t quite like Lu Zhaozhao, the online celebrity, considering her good relationship with Pei Huai, she wasn’t entirely unable to accept her.
After all, if she ended up with Pei Huai, his friends would become her friends.
She’d have to start learning to adapt as well.
She cleared her throat, about to calm the chaotic situation, when she saw a tall figure appear in front of them.
It was Pei Huai!
Sun Qian’s heart started pounding wildly.
Just as she was about to speak, she saw Avril rush over ahead of her, "Pei Huai!"
Xia Wenyan, still holding Lu Zhaozhao, tensed up instantly and held her even tighter.
He didn’t even want to turn his head.
Lu Zhaozhao, suspended in mid-air, glared at the stiff Xia Wenyan, then glanced at Pei Huai approaching, and was just about to say something when Xia Wenyan tucked her under his arm, "You’ve hurt your hand, let’s go to the rest room."
Saying this, Xia Wenyan carried Lu Zhaozhao off, disappearing on the spot.
Leaving everyone in disarray.
Pei Huai also paused for a moment but then indifferently asked the people around, "What just happened..."
"Xia Wenjin was picking a fight, spreading rumors that you and Lu Zhaozhao had an improper relationship, and she got hit," Avril blurted out almost immediately.
Sun Qian frowned slightly, glanced at Avril, and subtly said, "It was just a small friction within the crew, but someone had to spread rumors in public, making Zhaozhao furious."
By saying this, she was indirectly probing Pei Huai.
Lu Zhaozhao had already clarified that there was nothing between her and Pei Huai, but it was unclear what Pei Huai thought.
"I’m good friends with Yanyan, and his sister is like my sister. Our relationship is not as dirty as some people think," Pei Huai said coldly, looking at Xia Wenjin. "Of course, I wouldn’t assume that your frequent hotel rendezvous with your brothers-in-law implies an inappropriate relationship between you, right? Teacher Xia?"
"!!!"
Xia Wenjin’s face instantly turned pale.
She didn’t expect Pei Huai to know about her hotel visits with Justin?
Does that mean Lu Zhaozhao also knew?
Xia Wenjin’s brow furrowed, and she fixed a dead stare on Pei Huai.
She wasn’t afraid of Song Keren tattling to Xiao Mo, after all, she dreaded the prospect of divorce.
But Pei Huai was different, she held no leverage over him.
Xia Wenjin was so preoccupied with how to handle Pei Huai she completely failed to notice that after her silence, the looks she received bore an added tinge of disdain.
Just moments ago, standing on a moral high ground, she ridiculed others, only to be stuck in the mire herself, yet still had the audacity to mock others.
Avril had always been at odds with Xia Wenjin, and now, hearing such juicy gossip, she was all riled up.
"Xia Wenjin, thinking you’re so tough, huh? Not even sparing your sister-in-law’s man? Aren’t you a Lu Family heiress? Is high society always this messy?"
Avril’s words were laced with thorns, turning Xia Wenjin’s complexion from green to white.
Furious, Xia Wenjin glared at Avril. "My business has nothing to do with you!"
After that, not waiting for anything more from Avril, she turned and ran off without looking back.
Only then did Avril shift her attention to Pei Huai. "Pei..."
"Mr. Pei, I just saw Zhaozhao seemed to be hurt. Let me take you there to check on her," Sun Qian interrupted before Avril could finish.
She realized that Avril had a crush on Pei Huai, and considering that this woman was brought in by Xia Wenyan,
She became surer that Lu Zhaozhao wasn’t interested in Pei Huai.
Pei Huai must not be drawn to Lu Zhaozhao either, otherwise, her doting brother wouldn’t bring another woman to approach Pei Huai.
With this in mind, Sun Qian’s animosity towards Lu Zhaozhao diminished substantially.
Pei Huai nodded in Sun Qian’s direction, "Thank you for the trouble."
Actually, he initially came to the set to find Lu Zhaozhao, not expecting Xia Wenyan to be there.
Thinking about their last unpleasant parting, his mind was in turmoil.
Following Sun Qian, his thoughts were swirling in chaos.
He didn’t know how to start a conversation with Xia Wenyan later, let alone how to bring up their last encounter.
He admitted he had crossed a line.
But... he didn’t want to let go.
Just the thought of him spending his life with someone else was driving him insane.
He could swear to treat him better than anyone ever could.
To be good to him alone in this lifetime was something he could achieve – even offering his life was no matter, if only he desired it.
But what he feared was that he desired nothing at all.
While Pei Huai was still battling with himself, Sun Qian had already led him to Lu Zhaozhao’s dressing room.
She had intended to exchange a few pleasantries with Pei Huai, but the director had already sent someone to fetch her.
Reluctantly and with a straight face, Sun Qian had no choice but to leave – dedication trumped all.
She especially didn’t want to leave a bad impression on Pei Huai.
When Pei Huai and Avril entered, Xia Wenyan was in the process of applying ice to Lu Zhaozhao’s little hand.
Upon seeing them, Xia Wenyan decided to feign ignorance.
Catching on, Avril immediately sat down next to Lu Zhaozhao. "You must be Zhaozhao? I’m Avril. Seeing how much you disliked Xia Wenjin just now, we’re definitely going to be good friends!"
Although she addressed Lu Zhaozhao, her eyes kept stealing glances at Pei Huai nearby.
Lu Zhaozhao’s eyebrows quivered slightly as she forced a stiff smile in response.
Considering they were not shipping the same couples, friendship was out of the question.
Lu Zhaozhao caught a glimpse of the awkward atmosphere between Pei Huai and Xia Wenyan and let out a helpless sigh internally. She reached for the cup of coffee that had long turned cold on the table, and deliberately let her hand slip—
