"I'm early. It's only 1:50 now, which is before our agreed time. It's not late." Lu Wanzheng has a gentle personality and never fusses over such things.
Moreover, she herself usually likes to arrive at the designated time.
"I made the purpose of my visit very clear on the phone: I wanted to thank you in person."
“Mrs. Xiao, you don’t need to be so polite. Such a lovely child, anyone would have helped him.” Lu Wanzheng paused. Today she came to talk about Xiao Yu, so she called Shu Mi “Mrs. Xiao.” At the same time, she was worried that Shu Mi would think that she was helping the child specifically for the sake of cooperation, so she added, “I just happened to run into him that day.”
"I know, Miss Lu, there's no need to be nervous. I didn't mean to doubt you." In just a few minutes of meeting, Lu Wanzheng easily won Shu Mi's favor. This girl was unpretentious and straightforward, which was Shu Mi's first impression of Lu Wanzheng.
Shu Mi said this without batting an eye, completely forgetting that she had previously suspected Lu Wanzheng of wanting her to owe someone a favor for the sake of cooperation, which was why she had her son squatting down. After all, such things had happened before in the entertainment industry.
Seeing that there was nothing in front of the two, the waiter stepped forward to inquire, "What would you two like to do?"
"A cappuccino, please."
"A slice of chocolate cake, please."
Shu Mi ordered the cappuccino, while Lu Wanzheng ordered a cake. She actually doesn't like coffee because it keeps her awake.
She already suffers from insomnia at night and is sleepy during the day; with a cup of coffee, she can stay up all night until dawn.
The waiter bowed politely and turned to prepare the food.
The cake is displayed in the counter window; you can just grab it. The coffee will take a little while.
The waiter brought out the cake without pausing for a moment.
"Mrs. Xiao said on the phone last night that she had something to give me. What is it?"
Lu Wanzheng cut straight to the point: if they weren't going to talk about cooperation, what else could Shu Mi offer her? This was what Lu Wanzheng was most curious about.
She picked up a fork, used the edge of the fork to cut the cake, cut off a small piece, put it in her mouth, and the cake gradually melted in her mouth, the texture was very smooth, the chocolate flavor filled her mouth and excited her brain.
Looking up, I noticed that Shu Mi's face still carried the same cold and distant air that had been there from the beginning.
It's clear that Shu Mi must be a very assertive woman in her daily life.
Shu Mi took out her phone from her bag and showed her something she had looked at yesterday. "I wanted to show you this." She pushed the phone in front of Lu Wanzheng so that Lu Wanzheng could see it clearly.
After Lu Wanzheng saw the contents of her phone, her expression turned serious. She showed no sign of panic, but her eyes were sharp and filled with coldness.
This suggestive photo makes it easy to guess the motives behind it.
The phone contained the story of Lu Wanzheng going to say goodbye to Xiao Wang the day before she returned from S City, and at the same time asking for Shu Mi's contact information.
The two stood at the door with smiles on their faces, and someone happened to take a picture of them and send it to Shu Mi.
"Mrs. Xiao, I hope you don't misunderstand. My relationship with Director Xiao is purely professional; there's nothing else between us. That day, I was just trying to get your contact information from Director Xiao and also to let him know that I was going back to Kyoto. Nothing happened."
Lu Wanzheng's only thought was to explain this matter to Shu Mi. She could roughly guess who was behind it all. Wang Xiyou wanted to use someone else to torment her. He was as vicious as ever.
