Chapter 510: Chapter 508: She Can’t Understand, Nor Can She Accept!
Even if Lu Zhaozhao didn’t know for a while that Xu Zhenzhen was the mistress she mentioned, she would inevitably find out sooner or later.
As for before that, as long as Lu Zhaozhao spoke up, she could boldly take action against Xu Zhenzhen using Lu Zhaozhao as a shield.
At that time, she only had to say that Lu Zhaozhao had told her to do this. Given Xia Wenqing’s affection for Lu Zhaozhao, even if he were unhappy, he wouldn’t say much.
Liu Xiaozhen’s calculations were clicking loudly, but how could Lu Zhaozhao not notice?
She propped her chin with one hand, seemingly troubled, "If it were up to me... I’d just choose to give up. If he can’t even handle this, I don’t think he deserves to be my boyfriend."
"..."
Liu Xiaozhen, listening to Lu Zhaozhao’s words, felt a suffocating frustration.
She had thought of a hundred possible responses Lu Zhaozhao might have, but she never expected her to say this.
It’d be different for others, but she was the heiress of the XJ Corporation; getting any man she wanted was just a matter of pulling some strings.
Moreover, her husband was the CEO of the Song Group.
If her boyfriend were the CEO of the Song Group, no matter what kind of seductress the other party was, she would crush her.
Not to mention surrendering without a fight.
Liu Xiaozhen really wanted to grab Lu Zhaozhao by the shoulders and give her a good shake to bring her to her senses.
But she couldn’t.
She had just pretended not to recognize Lu Zhaozhao, and if she spoke up now, it would seem like she had approached her with an agenda.
Liu Xiaozhen raised her hand to press her temple, and smiled faintly, "We’ve talked so much, yet we haven’t exchanged names. My name is Liu Xiaozhen, I just arrived back in the country. You can call me Xiaozhen."
Lu Zhaozhao nodded, "My name’s Lu Zhaozhao."
She didn’t bother to introduce herself further, after all, Liu Xiaozhen already knew; making introductions was rather meaningless.
Liu Xiaozhen thought Lu Zhaozhao was feigning modesty, so she pretended to be surprised with widened eyes, "You are Lu Zhaozhao? You’re even more beautiful in person than in the photos!"
"Thank you."
Lu Zhaozhao maintained a polite smile as she looked at Liu Xiaozhen, without much emotional fluctuation.
Liu Xiaozhen forced a smile, "If I had your background, I probably wouldn’t let my fiancé be stolen away so easily."
Lu Zhaozhao slightly raised her eyebrows, "I don’t see it that way. With my current status, there are plenty of quality men who’d want to marry me. I don’t need to waste a whole forest over one tree, especially if... such things happen while we’re dating. It only shows that the man’s abilities are lacking. All I need to do is eliminate him and find a replacement."
When she said this, she was the very image of a spoiled heiress—arrogant, willful, dazzlingly irritating.
Liu Xiaozhen had no way to argue against her words, after all, Lu Zhaozhao did have the power.
She managed to make the high and mighty CEO of Song Group personally admit he was lovesick.
With the extent of the pampering she received, her arrogance seemed justified.
Liu Xiaozhen clenched her fist, feeling even more irate.
If she had the family background like Lu Zhaozhao’s to back her up, would she need to follow Xia Wenqing around?
She had been a lawyer for many years, and there was no shortage of men showing interest in her.
But whether in terms of looks or family background, none could compare to Xia Wenqing.
Since she had met the perfect match, she naturally felt nothing for the others.
Besides, she had been by Xia Wenqing’s side for quite some time, and she always felt that once Xu Zhenzhen left Xia Wenqing, her chance would come.
Xu Zhenzhen had left, and to my surprise, Xia Wenqing had turned colder and more detached, even towards me.
But I still had chances to interact with Xia Wenqing.
I thought that if only enough time passed, Xia Wenqing would be able to forget Xu Zhenzhen and be with me. n𝚘𝚟pub.𝚌o𝚖
I’d always believed that.
But Xu Zhenzhen, like a persistent ghost, reappeared and even stole Xia Wenqing from me.
I couldn’t accept it!
I was the one who had spent the most time with Xia Wenqing, so why wasn’t I the one who ended up by his side?
I didn’t understand, and I couldn’t accept it!
Liu Xiaozhen forced a smile, but the anger in her eyes couldn’t be hidden,"It might be because my fiancé is someone I admired in my youth, so I just can’t let go."
Lu Zhaozhao gave Liu Xiaozhen a fake, polite smile, "We must always look forward, mustn’t we?"
"..."
Liu Xiaozhen didn’t achieve her purpose with Lu Zhaozhao and was very frustrated.
But since the conversation had reached this point, she had no choice but to let it go.
"You make a good point, I will try my best to...," Liu Xiaozhen’s words trailed off as she forced another smile towards her.
"..."
Lu Zhaozhao couldn’t be bothered to continue indulging Liu Xiaozhen, so she simply fell silent too.
Of course, Liu Xiaozhen didn’t want to waste this opportunity, so she took out a business card from her bag and handed it to Lu Zhaozhao, "Zhaozhao, I’m glad to have met you here, and I hope we can continue to associate in the future."
If she couldn’t win over Lu Zhaozhao for now, she’d just have to try more times.
Liu Xiaozhen’s plan was simple, if she couldn’t reach Xia Wenqing directly, she’d take a roundabout approach.
As long as Xia Wenqing wasn’t married yet, no, even if Xia Wenqing were married, what of it?
Marriages can end in divorce; marriage is not the end of a relationship, it’s just a new trial.
Lu Zhaozhao held Liu Xiaozhen’s business card between her fingertips, chuckling lightly in response.
She was curious to see what kind of trouble Liu Xiaozhen would stir up in the future.
Since Liu Xiaozhen had accomplished half her goal, she stayed a while longer in the bridal shop before leaving.
Thinking she hadn’t seen Xia Wenqing for several days, she took a document from the car and went straight to the Song Group building.
To the security guards of Song Group, Liu Xiaozhen was a regular, so they let her in without question.
Unfortunately, when she arrived at the Legal Department of Song Group, she didn’t find the person she had been thinking about.
Liu Xiaozhen frowned slightly and was about to inquire with the others in the office when she saw Xu Zhenzhen come in.
Liu Xiaozhen’s expression darkened slightly, her eyes involuntarily searching behind Xu Zhenzhen, but Xia Wenqing was nowhere to be seen.
Her expression slightly improved, she then pretended to be friendly and asked Xu Zhenzhen, "Zhenzhen, have you seen Lawyer Xia? I had an appointment with him, but I didn’t expect him to be away from his office. Do you know if he had some emergency?"
She deliberately made her words sound ambiguous, and her voice was loud enough for the other people in the office to hear.
As expected, the people in the office couldn’t help but glance in Liu Xiaozhen’s direction.
Xu Zhenzhen rolled her eyes and then looked at Liu Xiaozhen coldly, with a hint of disdain in her gaze.
"Lawyer Xia is abroad, how could you have arranged to meet him today? Lawyer Liu, you couldn’t have gotten the date wrong, could you?"
