Lu Xuexue was too lazy to waste words with them. She raised her hand and waved her phone, which displayed various videos of Wang Teng and his gang humiliating Zhao Shuo.
Her voice was cold and clear.
"Putting everything else aside, Zhao Shuo is really annoying. You guys can go have a drink with him often in the future."
A smart person understands immediately. Wang Teng instantly grasped Lu Xuexue's meaning: she was tacitly allowing them to continue to manipulate Zhao Shuo.
He immediately picked up his wine glass again, poured himself a full glass, drank it all in one gulp, and said in a bold tone:
"Don't worry, Sister Xue! From now on, we'll listen to Sister Ling and Sister Xue completely, and follow your lead without question!"
The other playboys also realized what was happening and hurriedly picked up their wine glasses to offer a toast, vying to express their loyalty and eager to become Shen Qingling's patrons.
These rich kids aren't as foolish as they seem.
Sometimes, deliberately acting like a spoiled brat is just a necessary way to protect oneself—being too outstanding can easily make one a thorn in the side of certain people in the family.
However, as long as they can get on Shen Qingling's good side and have the backing of the Shen family, their status within the family will inevitably rise, and they may not be without a chance to turn the tables.
"Okay, that's enough for now." Lu Xuexue picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of the warm tea, and accepted their greetings.
Then, she waved her hand and said simply, "Let's go."
"Sister Ling, Sister Xue, don't worry! If you need anything in the future, just call us anytime. Even if we're digging a tunnel, we'll come right away!" Wang Teng remained extremely humble, putting on a very respectful attitude.
After saying that, he led his group of playboys, bowing and carefully leaving the private room, afraid of disturbing the two people inside.
After the door to the private room was gently closed and everyone had left, Lu Xuexue's tense shoulders slowly relaxed, and the toughness and sharpness on her face instantly disappeared, transforming her back into that cute little girl.
She let out a long sigh of relief, picked up the snacks on the table, and began to eat them in small bites. She had been sitting still for a while and was quite hungry.
Seeing her now that she had let her guard down, Shen Qingling's eyes softened, and she reached out and picked up a sandwich cookie from the dessert plate.
She pinched the crisp edge of the biscuit between her fingertips, not in a hurry to eat it, but gently shook it, glancing towards the door of the private room, and spoke meaningfully:
"So, what's the situation in the hotel bedroom right now?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuexue, who was taking small bites of her snack, suddenly stopped and almost choked on the snack in her mouth.
She quickly put down the snacks, picked up the teacup on the table, and took two big gulps of warm tea before she could catch her breath.
As she put down her teacup, a little tea stain still clung to the corner of her mouth. She wiped it away, then looked at Shen Qingling with a wry smile:
"What else can happen? With Manman's clingy and reckless nature, Brother Gu Luo is definitely going to be sandwiched in tonight."
As she spoke, she deliberately imitated Shen Qingling's actions, picking up a sandwich cookie and taking a small bite, her eyes full of mischievous smiles.
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingling nodded noncommittally and took a bite of the sandwich cookie in her hand.
The crispy outer layer melts in your mouth, while the sweet but not cloying cream filling spreads across your tongue.
He chewed slowly, swallowed, and then looked up at Lu Xuexue, asking calmly:
"What are your thoughts on what just happened?"
Lu Xuexue put down the cookies in her hand, picked up a wet wipe and wiped her fingers. The smile on her face faded a bit, and her eyes became serious.
"That's good. Qingling, you've been deliberately avoiding getting involved in these things, wasn't it to minimize your presence?"
She paused, then continued her analysis: "Now that these playboys are taking the initiative to come to you for support, it's a perfect excuse for you. Once you get back, just tell Brother Gu Luo about it, and you'll have a perfectly legitimate reason to get involved in these things without seeming deliberate."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingling looked at Lu Xuexue with admiration in her eyes, slowly nodded, and spoke with approval in her tone:
"You're right, this is exactly the effect I wanted."
The private room fell silent again, with only the soft sounds of the two of them gently chewing their snacks.
