Chapter 248: Chapter 248 This Tear is Physical Chapter 248: Chapter 248 This Tear is Physical Xu Zhenzhen looked at her with disdain. “Keren, are you sure there’s nothing wrong with your brain?”

The relationship between her and Xia Wenjin had always been closer, both in the past and presently.

Suddenly, she came to Lu Zhaozhao, saying she wanted to join forces against Xia Wenjin–this was pure stupidity mourning stupidity–the stupidity is dead.

Keren cast a cold glance at Xu Zhenzhen, wishing she could sew her mouth shut.

She had reluctantly lowered her pride to approach Lu Zhaozhao, intending to collaborate, but this damn woman, Xu Zhenzhen, just had to interfere.

Grinding her teeth, she looked at Lu Zhaozhao and said, “I know we’ve had our differences, but isn’t the enemy of my enemy a friend? Don’t you hate her for stealing the position of the Lu Family’s daughter from you?”

Keren looked at Lu Zhaozhao confidently, unable to believe she wouldn’t be tempted.

Lu Zhaozhao slightly raised an eyebrow. “I’m not interested in the position of the Lu Family’s daughter at all.”

The Lu Family was nearly ruined; why would she want it?

Moreover, she didn’t like Mr. and Mrs. Lu.

Keren’s eyes widened in disbelief. “You… you don’t want to be the Lu Family’s daughter again?”

Lu Zhaozhao shrugged her shoulders. “Not at all. I prefer my current parents.”

Keren clenched her fists, her eyes on Lu Zhaozhao now reflecting slight panic.

She had thought this offer would surely secure Lu Zhaozhao’s cooperation.

After all, between the Lu Group and the Xia Family, couldn’t she see which weighed more?

Her mouth opened, and after a moment’s hesitation, she said, “If you’re worried that collaborating with me is a trap, you needn’t be. I really hate Xia Wenjin now, especially since she tried to seduce my husband on her wedding night!”

“…”
“!!!”

Hearing Keren’s revelation, unlike Lu Zhaozhao’s indifferent emotion, Xu Zhenzhen was clearly all about the gossip.

Xia Wenjin seduced her brother-in-law on her wedding night? Tsk tsk… that sounds explosive!

She raised her eyebrows high. “Since you know she seduced your husband, why don’t you tell Xiao Mo? Isn’t he your cousin?”

Keren glared at Xu Zhenzhen. “If I tell my cousin, and he ends up divorcing Xia Wenjin, won’t I just be giving Xia Wenjin a reason to get closer to my husband?”

“You mean, if she gets divorced, she poses a threat to you, so even your position as vice president’s wife isn’t secure,” Xu Zhenzhen muttered, clicking her tongue.

That clearly hit a nerve with Keren.

She almost screamed at Xu Zhenzhen, “What nonsense are you spouting? My husband loves me very much, okay?! Be careful, or I’ll sue you for slander!”

Lu Zhaozhao watched her, sword drawn, and sighed lightly. “Keren, you should find someone else. I’m not interested in your family affairs.”

Keren against Xia Wenjin would truly be a dog-eat-dog fight.

There was no need for her to get involved.

Since Xia Wenjin could brazenly flirt despite Justin and her married status, that only spoke volumes about the dire state of the Lu Family.

Xia Wenjin was securing her own escape routes.

However… she was seriously underestimating Xiao Mo and Xiao Jinglan’s ruthlessness.

Lu Zhaozhao suddenly found herself looking forward to seeing what Xiao Mo would do when he discovered his cuckoldry. What would it be?

Keren glanced at Lu Zhaozhao, “I can give you time to think, but remember, once this chance is gone, it’s gone!”

With those words, she left the scene like a proud rooster.

Xu Zhenzhen clicked her tongue twice, “Don’t you think Keren acts like a rooster about to lay eggs?”

“Pfft–What kind of adjectives are you even using?” Lu Zhaozhao looked at Xu Zhenzhen, amused yet confused, and leaned her head back onto her shoulder.

She knew Xu Zhenzhen was just worried about her.

Xia Wenjin was indeed a mess, but Song Keren was no better.

There was absolutely no need to get dragged down by someone as foolish as Song Keren just to deal with Xia Wenjin.

She patted Xu Zhenzhen on the hand, “Don’t worry, I would never team up with Song Keren. I’m actually looking forward to watching them tear each other apart~”
Xu Zhenzhen furrowed her brows, “Are you sure it’s mutual tearing, and not just Song Keren getting thrashed by Xia Wenjin?”

Lu Zhaozhao nodded seriously, sat up straight, and said word by word, “Don’t forget, though Song Keren might be a bit slow, she’s fierce…”
…
Xu Zhenzhen’s mouth twitched, and she found herself at a loss for words.

Indeed.

Song Keren might not be able to outwit Xia Wenjin, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t outfight her, physically speaking, of course.

Seeing Xu Zhenzhen fall silent, Lu Zhaozhao added another comment, “Besides, with Xiao Jinglan backing Song Keren up, their fierce battle is guaranteed to be out of control.”

Xu Zhenzhen’s eyes lit up instantly, “Ah!!! Now that you say that, I’m even more excited!”

…
Lu Zhaozhao rubbed her temples, feeling a bit of a headache coming on as she looked at Xu Zhenzhen speechlessly.

What am I going to do with you, my gossip-loving bestie.

Sigh…
Xu Zhenzhen, beaming, was chewing on her straw and pulled out her phone to check the time, her eyes suddenly freezing.

She immediately thrust the phone in front of Lu Zhaozhao, “Look, look, Xia Wenjin has just posted another sanctimonious tweet on Weibo, clearly targeting you. Is she sick?”

Lu Zhaozhao glanced at Xu Zhenzhen’s phone and saw the Weibo post by Xia Wenjin.

Came to school today, going to do well on the exam, cheer up! #BeautyInTestTaking#
Below was a photo Xia Wenjin had taken in the classroom.

Each photo seemed like a selfie of Xia Wenjin, but each one also seemed to capture some part of Lu Zhaozhao.

Some showed her student ID, some her profile, some her back, and even her seat arrangement in the classroom.

Their seating during major exams was arranged based on their daily quiz performance.

The first row was nearly always where the class geniuses sat, while those in the middle rows were average.

Someone had clarified below the Weibo post that suddenly built up Xia Wenjin as a top student.

[Didn’t expect Little Jin to be such a scholar, impressive!]
[Lu Zhaozhao sitting in the middle, huh? Looks like her academic performance isn’t as good as Xia Wenjin’s, tsk tsk, all the beauty but no brains?]
[Lu Zhaozhao must be the warmest dressed female celebrity I’ve seen this summer–wearing a cardigan and even wrapping a shawl, is it that cold?]
[Xia Wenjin looks so nice today, that’s real celebrity demeanor!]
…
The comments were overwhelmingly praising Xia Wenjin, with plenty throwing shade at Lu Zhaozhao.

Xu Zhenzhen scrolled through the messages, angrily typing replies as she went along.

While typing furiously, she didn’t hold back from venting, “Does Xia Wenjin have a screw loose? Are her paid trolls really that outstanding? Praising blindly? Xia Wenjin doesn’t fear leg cramps but can still pull off celebrity demeanor? Is she freaking born of a rocket monkey? So fierce, why doesn’t she just fly to the sky?!”
