Zhu Jinzhao narrowed his eyes warily, stuffed the egg into his mouth, and tried his best to analyze the current situation with his not-so-good brain.

In the original novel, after breaking up with the fake heiress, Lu Yuzhou immediately turned around and began to pursue Zhu Mingyue relentlessly.

Zhu Jinzhao vaguely remembers that the "pursuit" scene took place a month after Zhu Mingyue returned to the Zhu family.

One month... Today marks exactly one month since Zhu Mingyue returned home! Zhu Xingye even booked a restaurant to celebrate for Zhu Mingyue!

The timing was perfect!

"Heh..." Zhu Jinzhao choked on the dry egg and suddenly laughed.

No wonder... no wonder Lu Yuzhou suddenly blocked Zhu Jinzhao, it turns out it's because he's starting to pursue Zhu Mingyue in the storyline!

No wonder Zhu Mingyue asked that question earlier; it seems Lu Yuzhou has officially confessed his feelings to her. She doesn't want to be a mistress, so she wanted to confirm whether Zhu Jinzhao had been dumped.

Jiang Jingwen truly lives up to her reputation as the fake heiress's only true friend; listening to her is always a safe bet. If Zhu Jinzhao hadn't shamelessly sent Lu Yuzhou a message that day, causing Lu Yuzhou to block her, she still wouldn't have discovered this secret.

Since that's the case, let's move her plan to flatter and destroy her a little earlier.

You scumbag, wait until you pay me back!

"What are you thinking about, making that face?" Zhu Xingye came out of the kitchen and lightly tapped Zhu Jinzhao on the head as he passed by.

She suddenly realized what was happening and nearly choked to death on the egg.

"No, I wasn't thinking about anything." She picked up the milk in front of her and gulped down more than half of it before finally swallowing the egg yolk that was stuck in her throat.

"Eat slowly," Zhu Xingye said helplessly as he sat down next to Zhu Mingyue.

Zhu Mingyue tore at the bread with elegant movements, then suddenly added, "She won't be slow; she stuffed the whole egg in one bite."

Zhu Jinzhao: "..."

Girl, you're starting to tattle a bit.

"No wonder you're choking." Zhu Xingye frowned, staring coldly at Zhu Jinzhao. "You don't have a part-time job today, what's the rush?"

Zhu Jinzhao pouted resentfully: "I'm not in a hurry."

"Are you full?" Zhu Xingye asked as she put down her chopsticks.

Zhu Jinzhao nodded: "I'm full."

Zhu Xingye: "After you've eaten, go pack your things. We're leaving soon, so make sure you have all the necessary documents."

Zhu Jinchao obediently got up and went upstairs: "Okay."

"Why are you always so absent-minded..." Zhu Xingye sighed with a headache as he watched her dawdling figure.

Zhu Mingyue said bluntly, "I think Jinzhao's mind isn't quite right."

"Remove the 'seems'." Zhu Xingye was even more incisive. "She's been in a bad state lately. She's confused about everything, whether it's studying or doing things. It's like her brain is glued shut. She only seems a little more alert when she's working."

"The entertainment industry is so murky, I'm really worried she won't survive in it."

Zhu Mingyue smiled and said, "It's alright, big brother. I'm here for you. I'll be watching over Jinzhao."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xingye's worry instantly turned into deep relief.

"Mingyue, thank you." He gently stroked Zhu Mingyue's hair, his face full of tender smiles. "You've always been smart, so I really need to ask you to keep a close eye on things from now on."

Zhu Mingyue: "Yes! Don't worry, Big Brother."

—Brother, are you really still ignoring me?

Downstairs, Zhu Xingye was heartbroken over Zhu Jinzhao, while upstairs, Zhu Jinzhao herself was pathetically acting like a sycophant.

She lay in bed, holding her phone, texting Lu Yuzhou.

—Brother, did I do something wrong to make you angry? Why did you block me on WeChat?

I can't reach you, so I can only send you a text message.

—I know I'm not good enough, completely unworthy of such a dazzling Yuzhou brother. But it's okay, I'll change, and I'll always wait for you, brother. No matter when you turn back, I'll always be waiting in the same place.

—If my brother is willing, I can even be a concubine!

That's right, Zhu Jinzhao adjusted her plan to flatter and kill, and she became an astonishingly obsequious sycophant!

Now that Lu Yuzhou has started pursuing Zhu Mingyue, she must pretend to be a love-crazed, mindless woman. This will embolden Lu Yuzhou, making him feel that even if Zhu Mingyue ultimately rejects him, he will always have a grudge against her.

Meanwhile, Zhu Jinzhao also needs to carry out his plan to sow discord with Zhu Mingyue.

Although Zhu Mingyue's final official pairing is not Lu Yuzhou, she absolutely cannot allow the two of them to be together.

Only if Lu Yuzhou's delusions fail will she have a chance for revenge. Otherwise, all her efforts during this time will have been in vain.

"My plan is absolutely perfect!" She was so impressed with her own intelligence that she couldn't help but screenshot the sycophantic quotes and forward them to Jiang Jingwen for her to see.

Jiang Jingwen: ...Are you out of your mind?

Zhu Jinzhao: What's wrong with me?

Jiang Jingwen angrily typed on the keyboard.

—What's wrong with you? Lu Yuzhou has unilaterally announced his breakup with you, yet you're still chasing after him! Is that thing on your neck really not a tumor?

—And you're willing to be his mistress... I think you might as well hang yourself!

Zhu Jinzhao: You're talking nonsense!

Her plan was so meticulous and so full of wisdom, but Jiang Jingwen herself didn't understand it!

—Forget it, I have a brilliant plan, you don't need to worry about it! Just wait and see the show.

Jiang Jingwen: You don't have a brilliant plan, you just have your own despicable methods!

—I'm going out now.

Unable to win an argument with her, Zhu Jinzhao simply ended the topic.

Despite her anger, Jiang Jingwen still remembered to cheer Zhu Jinzhao on.

—Behave yourself in a bit, don't act silly. Message me after you sign the contract, I'll buy you flowers.

Wishing you a wonderful day!

After checking everything and making sure nothing was missing, Zhu Jinzhao carried her little schoolbag downstairs.

The appointment with Yang Min was at 10 a.m. She went downstairs and sat on the sofa for a few minutes. After Zhu Mingyue got ready, she went to the company with Zhu Xingye.

Yang Min had known for a long time that Zhu Mingyue wanted to enter the entertainment industry. She had seen Zhu Mingyue's photo and agreed to the deal immediately just because of Zhu Mingyue's face. She even printed out the contract and mailed it to the Zhu family overnight.

The person and the contract have been prepared in advance. There aren't many things to discuss after the meeting, and it can be resolved in two hours.

"I wish you a pleasant cooperation, Mr. Zhu."

Seeing Zhu Mingyue and Zhu Jinzhao sign the contract with her own eyes, Yang Min's face instantly lit up with a bright smile.

"It's a pleasure to work with you." Zhu Xingye stood up from his chair and politely shook hands with Yang Min. "I'll be entrusting these two younger sisters of mine to your care from now on."

Yang Min: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhu. In the entertainment industry, no one dares to bully my artist, Yang Min."
