Every time she thought of Lu Zhaozhao slapping her, she couldn’t help but clench her teeth in hatred.
"Don’t worry, daddy will definitely get revenge for you once he’s in the country!" He Wanshan swelled with pride at the thought of the banquet being held in his home country.
He had heard from insiders of the Rimu Family that the banquet would be attended by a host of important Rimu Family members, and he was the only one with Rimu connections who could attend.
Did that mean his status within the Rimu Family was almost on par with that of the Rimu house servants?
Thinking this, He Wanshan’s heart couldn’t help but surge with excitement.
He Xintian’s heart blossomed with joy when she heard He Wanshan was coming to the country to avenge her, "Then, daddy, hire me a hundred or eighty bodyguards first. I want to go and deal with that bitch properly first!"
He Wanshan sighed, "Silly child, daddy will be in the country in the next couple of days. You just take care of your injuries, and then daddy will take you to meet the Rimu Family Master. My daughter is so pretty, who knows, you might catch the eye of the Rimu Family Master. By then, not to mention a Lu Zhaozhao, even the entire Song Group could be taken down for you!"
He Xintian’s heart was instantly moved.
She didn’t know what the Rimu Family Master looked like, but the Rimu Family was like a prince living in a castle from a fairytale for her.
A noble existence.
If she could be with a prince, nothing else mattered.
He Xintian couldn’t care less about going after Lu Zhaozhao for now, she needed to take good care of herself these next few days. When the banquet came, she absolutely had to face the Rimu Family Master in her best condition!
"Daddy, don’t worry, I definitely won’t disappoint you!"
"Mm-hmm!"
...
Because He Xintian had ceased her aggressions, Lu Zhaozhao had a couple of quiet days too.
Thanks to Lu Zhaozhao’s good fortune, Bai Qing also regained his tranquility.
His agent had been worried in the previous few days that He Xintian could affect Bai Qing’s career since he had inquired about this woman called He Xintian.
He heard her family was powerful in Country R, and they seemed to have recently expanded into their home country. So he was worried that if Bai Qing didn’t comply with this missy, he could be blacklisted.
Unexpectedly, He Xintian had taken the initiative to kick the iron board that was Lu Zhaozhao, resulting in heightened security on the entire set.
Bai Qing naturally received protection as well.
The agent was so happy that he had his assistant buy milk tea for everyone on set, while Lu Zhaozhao prepared a rather expensive gift for Bai Qing.
Lu Zhaozhao sat in the break room, staring down at Bai Qing.
"These items were prepared by my agent in thanks for you helping me out," Bai Qing said, pulling awkwardly at the corner of his mouth.
Although he hadn’t known Lu Zhaozhao for long, he understood what kind of person she was.
So, in addition to preparing an expensive gift, he also prepared some snacks and a cup of coconut milk coffee.
Seeing Lu Zhaozhao’s lackluster interest, he pointed at the coconut milk coffee and the snacks and said, "Actually, these were what I prepared myself."
Lu Zhaozhao gave Bai Qing a sidelong glance and reached for the coconut milk coffee on the table, "So this is your apology gift?"
"Er... if you want to call it an apology, sure," Bai Qing chuckled dryly.
To Lu Zhaozhao, a person like He Xintian was an undeserved disaster, wasn’t she?
He had originally wanted to seek Lu Zhaozhao’s help, but He Xintian directly made Lu Zhaozhao her imagined enemy and launched an all-out attack.
And then, she ended up kicking the steel plate that was Lu Zhaozhao.
The amount of disdain Lu Zhaozhao felt for He Xintian was equal to the disdain she felt for him.
He definitely had no way to deny the need to apologize.
Seeing Bai Qing’s completely uncomplicated demeanor, Lu Zhaozhao lost the interest to make things difficult for him.
She propped her chin and looked at the opened snacks, feeling much better herself, "Actually, Mr. Bai doesn’t need to feel too guilty. After all, people with bad minds who like to cause trouble should be universally condemned."
"Pfft..."
Bai Qing couldn’t hold it in and laughed out loud.
His whole demeanor completely relaxed.
Although He Xintian hadn’t shown up at the set for the past two days, he still felt quite embarrassed for having caused such a big problem for Lu Zhaozhao.
Fortunately, Lu Zhaozhao was still willing to talk to him.
Lu Zhaozhao, of course, saw what Bai Qing was thinking and picked up a piece of snack while propping her chin, saying, "Mr. Bai, don’t you want to try some? They taste pretty good."
Bai Qing smirked noncommittally and reached out for a piece of snack and stuffed it into his mouth.
He was quietly watching Lu Zhaozhao, just about to speak, when he heard someone knocking on the door of the lounge.
The next second, Xia Wenyan pushed open the door and walked in.
"Zhaozhao, you see what I brought..."
His words were cut off midway, as Xia Wenyan hadn’t expected to find someone else in Lu Zhaozhao’s room, and so he was abruptly stuck.
Bai Qing stood up, nodded at Xia Wenyan, and seeing that he seemed to need to speak with Lu Zhaozhao, tactfully said, "Teacher Lu, I’ll head back first, you two talk."
Lu Zhaozhao nodded and watched Bai Qing leave.
After the lounge door closed, Xia Wenyan reverted to his gossiping, gleeful demeanor and looked at Lu Zhaozhao, "Zhaozhao, in a few days the Rimu Family is holding a dinner party in Shangjing. Do you want to go for fun?"
His attractive peach blossom eyes sparkled with exceptional brilliance, clearly indicating he had some joyful news.
Lu Zhaozhao sat on the sofa in the lounge, turned her head to look at Xia Wenyan, and said indifferently, "Is it the Rimu Family holding a dinner party in Shangjing, or... Brother Pei?"
Xia Wenyan playfully winked at Lu Zhaozhao, "Take a guess."
"..."
She should guess?
She guessed it was Pei Huai arranging for her older brother to properly deal with the He Family father and daughter, which is why he had people come to Shangjing, right?
Almost all of the Rimu Family’s business was in Country R, because Pei Huai was in the country, so they set plans for development into the domestic market.
The house servants of the Rimu Family in Country R agreed, after all, their Family Head was in the country, and they couldn’t let the Family Head have no support domestically.
With Pei Huai’s generation in the Rimu Family, the people who had talent and could shoulder heavy responsibilities were almost non-existent.
The older generation clung to their rules, and the younger generation was not up to the task, one could say it was a critical transition period.
If this continued, the Rimu Family would sooner or later decline.
At this time, Pei Huai, who was capable of reorganizing the Rimu Family, seemed like a forcefully injected stimulant, allowing the Rimu Family to rise abruptly. That’s why even if the other older generations didn’t approve, they couldn’t compete with his strength.
Moreover, his identity more than qualified him to inherit the position of Rimu Family Master.
So even if others had objections, they had to hold it in.
Especially since Pei Huai’s various actions had brought benefits to the Rimu Family, so the number of people questioning him became even fewer.
Naturally, whatever he said, was what would happen.
