Chapter 325: Chapter 323: How does it feel to lose a watermelon and pick up a sesame seed?
Lu Zhaozhao was Song Sinian’s wife, and she couldn’t mock her in public.
But that didn’t mean she couldn’t mock the people around her.
What was Xu Zhenzhen?
She was nothing but a sycophant to Lu Zhaozhao, and that’s the only reason she had her current status. What was there to be arrogant about?
Why was she wearing such a high-end evening dress?
Xu Zhenzhen’s eyebrows slightly raised as she met Xia Wenjin’s gaze and scoffed, "Xia Wenjin, that sounds like something you’d know from experience, wouldn’t it?"
Her gaze swept across Mr. and Mrs. Lu with utter contempt.
Thinking about everything this couple had done to Lu Zhaozhao, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
How dare this trash show their faces here?
Xia Wenjin knew what Xu Zhenzhen was mocking, and her face turned ugly in an instant.
Recently, the financial crisis erupting in Lu Group was widely known.
If Lu Group went bankrupt, her standing as the Lu family’s daughter would be worthless.
Xia Wenjin glanced coldly at Xu Zhenzhen, "What nonsense are you talking? Our Lu family is not only about mining. Who doesn’t know we mainly do business overseas? What does the mining industry matter?"
Her speech trailed off here, and she glance at Lu Zhaozhao before continuing, "Unlike some people, what good does licking others’ boots do? Still just a sidekick, right?"
Xu Zhenzhen was almost amused to laughter by Xia Wenjin, "Right, right, right, everything you say is correct. After all, a sidekick like me can only wear limited edition evening dresses, right, Zhaozhao?"
She knew Xia Wenqing had brought her to buy the dress because of Lu Zhaozhao, but she didn’t mind.
After all, this was the first time her idol bought her clothes, and such expensive ones!
There was no reason not to accept.
Lu Zhaozhao nodded repeatedly, "Zhenzhen is right."
Although she didn’t know why Xu Zhenzhen was attributing the buying of the dress issue to her.
But in this atmosphere of shared enmity, backing up her sister felt absolutely right.
Xu Zhenzhen winked at Lu Zhaozhao, then turned her gaze back to Xia Wenjin, "Xia Wenjin, take my advice, be a good lackey to the right person, and you’ll have everything you could want."
Xia Wenjin’s face darkened even more, "What are you so proud of? You..."
Jin, the president from XJ Corporation seems to have arrived," Cao Mei, seeing Xia Wenjin apparently at a disadvantage, reached out to pull her hand and nodded towards the distance.
From the looks of things there, the chaos suggested that some bigwig might have arrived.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so noisy.
Consequently, everybody’s gaze turned in that direction.
Sure enough, after a noisy moment, several men in suits walked toward the center of the banquet hall.
One of them, Xia Wenjin noted with particular familiarity.
Beside her, Lu Dagui seemed to have recognized him too, "Jin, do you see the man at the front, isn’t he from the Xia family?"
Xia Wenjin’s heart, which had been thumping wildly, suddenly "plunged".
She had merely found him familiar, but now... she was certain.
That man was Xia Wenjue.
She awkwardly tugged at the corner of her mouth, "That should be him, no idea what he has to do with XJ Corporation..."
She had previously probed indirectly, only knowing Xia Wenjue’s boss was very powerful.
Could it be that his boss was related to XJ Corporation, or perhaps his boss was the CEO of XJ Corporation?
Was he following the CEO of XJ Corporation?
No wonder the collaboration between Song Group and XJ Corporation went so smoothly. It turned out it was Xia Wenjue’s doing behind the scenes.
Xia Wenjin’s expression turned even uglier, as she hadn’t expected Xia Wenjue, despite being an office worker, to have quite a few resources at his disposal.
She felt angry again because of the Xia Family’s deceit!
If they had told her all these things at the beginning, she wouldn’t have left the Xia Family so decisively.
Nor would she have allowed Lu Zhaozhao to come to the Xia Family so smoothly...
Thinking this, Xia Wenjin glared at Lu Zhaozhao with a venomous look in her eyes.
It was all Lu Zhaozhao’s fault!
If it wasn’t for her sudden appearance in front of the Xia Family, she wouldn’t have ended up in such a miserable state!
Wen Qingyu used to dote on her so much, but he became cold towards her only after Lu Zhaozhao’s arrival...
The root of all these evils was Lu Zhaozhao.
Fortunately, the Lu Group wasn’t at the end of its rope yet, as long as the president of XJ Group was willing to invest in their family.
They still had quite a few overseas businesses in the Lu Family, using those as collateral would be enough.
Xia Wenjin’s fleeting venomous glance did not escape Xu Zhenzhen’s notice.
She despised people like Xia Wenjin the most, who could create troubles and then shift the blame onto others.
She knew Xia Wenjin much earlier than Lu Zhaozhao did; she had heard about her when she was still abroad.
Back then, she only knew that Xia Wenjin was Xia Wenqing’s sister, and she had even thought about how to face this sister if she really got together with her dream guy.
But after returning to the country... the dream guy’s sister was no more.
Instead, she became her best friend Lu Zhaozhao; oh, how delighted she was that night, almost unable to sleep.
Indeed, their beloved Zhaozhao was truly the dream guy’s sister, as charming as her brother.
Thinking this, Xu Zhenzhen looked coldly at Xia Wenjin standing behind her and said, "Some people really should brighten their eyes and carefully see who exactly is standing as the president of XJ right now~"
Xu Zhenzhen’s words instantly made Xia Wenjin tense up, and when she saw the man standing next to Song Sinian, her face turned deathly pale.
"How is this possible? How can it be him? He..."
Even Lu Dagui and Cao Mei were completely dumbfounded.
Xia Wenjue was the president of XJ Group?!
The person they looked down upon was someone they couldn’t even aspire to climb up to.
This shift was most fatal for Xia Wenjin.
Because not long ago, she was still the daughter of the Xia Family.
She was the little Miss of XJ Group!
She viciously bit her lip, her gaze towards Lu Zhaozhao becoming even more malicious, "It was you, you knew all along, didn’t you?!"
From the outside, the Xia Family was worth nothing compared to the Lu Family.
She didn’t believe that Lu Zhaozhao really didn’t care about their poverty when she acknowledged the Xia Family.
She must have learned about the Xia Family’s situation from Song Sinian long ago, which is why she switched identities with her so quickly.
Lu Zhaozhao stared at Xia Wenjin, dumbfounded, suddenly admiring her ability to shift blame.
It was initially her decision to come to the Lu Family; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been retrieved by the Xia Family.
"You must be sick? If you are sick, go get treatment quickly! Stop barking here!" Xu Zhenzhen rolled her eyes at Xia Wenjin, "You were the one who despised the Xia Family for being poor initially, and now that you can’t reach them, you regret it? Too late for regrets now!"
Xu Zhenzhen’s words penetrated Xia Wenjin’s lungs like arrows.
Xia Wenjin’s face turned even uglier.
"How does it feel? To lose a watermelon and pick up a sesame seed, Lu Family’s daughter? Ha!" Xu Zhenzhen, unbothered by her expression, mocked her arrogantly with Lu Zhaozhao beside her.
She raised her eyes and mocked Mr. and Mrs. Lu as well, "The couple from the Lu Family never expected, did they? The adopted daughter you rejected is the very person you couldn’t even ingratiate yourselves with!"
