Chapter 92: He’s Not Qualified
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Song Jia was silent for a long time before looking up at Lu Zhen.
Song Jia’s eyes were very beautiful, bright and deep, as if there were countless stars shining in them.
“What about you? You’ve suffered so much and almost lost your life. If I hadn’t found you at that time, those people might have killed you in the end and thrown your corpse away.” Song Jia’s tone became heavy. When he thought of how Lu Zhen almost left this world, his heart ached as if it had been pierced by a needle.
Song Jia had never seen such a calm and rational woman like Lu Zhen. She was actually thinking about benefits at a time like this, but he couldn’t help but feel angry and sad for her. He wanted those who hurt her to pay a heavy price.
Lu Zhen frowned and thought for a few seconds before replying, “Only those with strength are qualified to seek justice for themselves. Mr. Song, you and I grew up in different environments, so you’ll think that my way of handling things is too aggrieved and cowardly. But I’m not just thinking about a moment of pleasure. I have more important things to do than take revenge.”
After Lu Zhen finished speaking, she looked up and saw Song Jia looking at her with a complicated expression.
“I was rash.” Song Jia took a deep breath. “You’re right.”
He just felt sorry for her. He didn’t want to see her so aggrieved, but he also understood that Lu Zhen’s situation was more difficult than he had imagined. She couldn’t make decisions according to her mood.
At the same time, Song Jia thought of something else. He did not seem to be in a position to ask Lu Zhen to do anything. He did not have a reasonable identity.
In other words, he was not qualified.
Seeing Song Jia lower his head, Lu Zhen felt a little down for some reason. She coughed and changed the topic. “By the way, didn’t I go for an audition today? The director asked me to play the piano, but I didn’t have a piano in front of me. I was really flustered at that time.”
Song Jia looked up at her and asked cooperatively, “Then how did you perform in the end?”
“I feel pretty good. It’s all thanks to you lending me the piano to practice.
Otherwise, I definitely wouldn’t have been able to find that feeling of playing.”
Lu Zhen said to Song Jia seriously, “Thank you, Song Jia.”
Song Jia noticed the change in how Lu Zhen addressed him. He raised his eyebrows. “Since you called me by my name, can I take it that you treat me as a friend?”
Lu Zhen was stunned for a moment before revealing a bright smile. “I’ve long treated you as my friend. The reason why I’ve always been polite to you is because I consider that you’re very likely to be my superior in the future. I don’t dare to be so casual in front of my superior.”
Song Jia looked at Lu Zhen’s bright and beautiful smile and his mood instantly turned sunny. He almost didn’t realize that his emotions had already begun to be affected by Lu Zhen.
“But I’m not your boss yet. You can relax in front of me. Besides, I’ve never treated you as my future employee.”
Lu Zhen ate a sweet glutinous rice ball and subconsciously asked, “Then what do you take me for?”
Song Jia was stunned. For a moment, he did not know how to answer. He had not thought about this question.
Song Jia didn’t say anything, but Lu Zhen was enlightened. “What nonsense am
I asking? Haven’t you always treated me as your neighbor?! Hahaha!”
Neighbors? Song Jia recalled that he had indeed said that he helped Lu Zhen only because they were neighbors. It was only right for neighbors to help each other.
Song Jia also smiled and looked at Lu Zhen gently. “Yes, neighbors.”
“Rourou, what are you busy with? The food is getting cold. Come and eat quickly!” Wu Yu shouted.
Lu Rou had been looking at her phone for hours. Her face without makeup was terrifyingly pale, like a ghost from a horror movie.
Lu Rou walked to the dining table in a daze and sat down. She picked up her chopsticks and put them down before she could eat. Then, she looked up and asked, “Mom, is Dad back yet?”
“Your father is very busy. He’s preparing to let you participate in an interview program during this period of time. By the way, there’s a news conference the day after tomorrow. Your father has prepared a set of explanations for you. Remember to memorize them later,” Wu Yu instructed patiently.
After Lu Rou and Jin Zhan’s relationship was exposed, Lu He quickly thought of a way to deal with it. He first contacted Jin Zhan and asked him not to admit that he was in a relationship with Lu Rou. This way, Lu Rou’s single persona could continue.
Then, he asked Lu Rou to post an explanation on Weibo..
