Everyone who saw this scene couldn’t help but turn their attention to it, but because they were wary of Su Yingxue’s status, nobody came to stand on Zuo Yuqing’s side.
It seems everyone has forgotten that aside from being a popular Actress, Zuo Yuqing is also the eldest daughter of the Zuo Family. Even though Zuo Yuqing’s parents have passed away, her uncle and aunt have grown the Zuo Group considerably, even entering the top 500 globally. Moreover, they dote on Zuo Yuqing dearly as they have no children of their own.
Although Su Yingxue is the eldest daughter of the Su Family, compared to the Zuo Family, the Su Family is not on the same level.
However, because everyone was used to seeing Zuo Yuqing as an actress, they momentarily forgot her identity as the eldest daughter of the Zuo Family. Since Zuo Yuqing never used her family status to her advantage in her acting career, everyone indirectly forgot about her elite family background.
On the other hand, Su Yingxue, whose acting is so-so, became famous largely because she would bully newcomers by flaunting her identity as the eldest daughter of the Su Family.
Zuo Yuqing remained unfazed, lifting her gaze to look indifferently at Su Yingxue, who was still acting arrogantly. A cold smile appeared on Yuqing’s face as she handed her phone to her assistant and promptly dialed a number in front of everyone, including Su Yingxue.
When Su Yingxue saw Zuo Yuqing make a call, she immediately had a bad feeling. But before she could understand that ominous premonition, she saw Zuo Yuqing covering her face with one hand and holding the phone in the other, speaking faintly into the receiver, "Assistant Xue, is your CEO there? I need to speak to your CEO."
As soon as they heard Zuo Yuqing mention ’Assistant Xue,’ everyone immediately realized she was calling Lu Jingchen’s assistant—and that she was looking for Lu Jingchen...
The atmosphere suddenly changed as many people’s expressions grew tense. Even Su Yingxue, who at the beginning was extremely arrogant, now had a face that turned from pale to ashen as she stared at Zuo Yuqing’s phone, impulsively lunging forward to grab it.
This reaction caught everyone by surprise, and even Zuo Yuqing was slightly startled by Su Yingxue’s pounce. However... at that moment, a delicate hand reached out from the side and firmly grabbed Su Yingxue’s arm.
Turning her head, Su Yingxue realized it was Song Qiao. Thinking of how Song Qiao was now married to Lu Jingchen, her jealousy, undoubtedly stronger than her envy of Zuo Yuqing, instantly flared up in her voice, "What are you doing? Let go of me."
Su Yingxue struggled to break free, only to find that no matter how hard she tried, she could not escape from Song Qiao’s grip, which irritated her even more. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾·𝗇𝖾𝗍
Song Qiao’s face showed no excess emotion, only a touch of cool detachment. Perhaps because she had been the Young Mistress of the Lu Family for some time and grew up in the Song Family, her mother always taught her how to be a gracious and refined lady, naturally exuding an authoritative aura that commanded ’respect without anger.’
Her crimson lips parted slightly as she looked indifferently at Su Yingxue in front of her and spoke without a trace of emotion, "If I let go just because you tell me to, wouldn’t I lose face?"
Upon hearing her words, Su Yingxue was so infuriated she was almost choked with rage, and she uttered through clenched teeth, "What right do you have, Song Qiao? Let go of me. You’re just someone who seduced Mr. Lu with your fox charm technique to become the Young Mistress of the Lu Family. You vixen, you... trash..."
Song Qiao, still unperturbed upon hearing Su Yingxue’s insults, waited for her to finish before responding with a faint smile, "So what if I seduced Mr. Lu? Sadly for you, even though you wish to seduce Mr. Lu, he doesn’t even spare you a glance."
This remark seemingly hit Su Yingxue’s sore spot, making her already pale face even more unsightly.
Meanwhile, Lu Jingchen, who had just arrived at the office and taken the call from Assistant Xue’s hands, was greeted by Song Qiao’s voice, causing him to pause in confusion before asking, "Song Qiao?"
Assistant Xue, standing by, was baffled... When did the wife come into the picture? The call was from Miss Zuo just before!
Zuo Yuqing, amazed by Song Qiao’s words, started to admire Song Qiao. Hearing Lu Jingchen’s voice, she felt several black lines slide down her forehead as she couldn’t help but correct him, "I’m Zuo Yuqing, not your wife!"
The other end of the call went silent; momentarily, no one spoke.
Although she couldn’t see Lu Jingchen, Zuo Yuqing imagined he must’ve been disappointed upon realizing it wasn’t Song Qiao.
A sly smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, but it suddenly pulled at the wound on her lip, causing her to inhale sharply in pain.
Lu Jingchen, probably hearing Zuo Yuqing’s sharp intake of breath, finally spoke, "What happened to you?"
"Oh, it’s nothing, I got hit!" Zuo Yuqing didn’t make a big deal of her own situation but changed the subject, "Lu Jingchen, what if I told you that someone is bad-mouthing your wife right now, you—"
