"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not interested in Miss Shen at all."
Song Shiyi said somewhat awkwardly, "If Lu Zheng finds out that I've been working closely with the Lu family before, that would be terrible."
"This is not something I can decide by talking nonsense. It's clear from what you just said, Miss Song."
Seeing Qiao Zhen's smiling face, Song Shiyi's smile faltered, and she turned to tug at her father's sleeve.
Seeing this, Mr. Song coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said, "Miss Qiao, the main person we are talking about today is Mr. Lu. Please do not interrupt."
Qiao Zhen nodded; he hadn't originally intended to help Lu Zheng anyway.
Now we can just leave this mess to Lu Zheng.
Seeing Qiao Zhen's seemingly deflated expression, Song Shiyi curled her lips smugly: "Brother Lu Zheng, what do you think of our marriage?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow: "Anything is fine, whatever."
Hearing this, Song Shiyi thought Lu Zheng had agreed and was so happy she almost jumped off the sofa: "Then let's finalize the wedding venue and wedding dress now!"
After speaking, he glanced at Qiao Zhen beside him out of the corner of his eye, his eyes full of smugness.
Qiao Zhen simply smiled, not intending to expose Song Shiyi's hypocritical mask.
She wanted to see how Lu Zheng planned to resolve this matter.
"However, the specifics are up to Miss Qiao to decide."
Her words caused a huge uproar, and everyone in the hall focused their attention on Qiao Zhen. Qiao Zhen felt as if she had been torn to pieces.
Good heavens... she's always being used as a shield.
Is it impossible not to take advantage of her?
“I am an outsider in this matter. It is too much of a burden to ask me to judge this, and I cannot accept it.”
Qiao Zhen forced a smile and declined, deliberately ignoring the jealous look on Song Shiyi's face.
"What, scared?" Lu Zheng looked at Qiao Zhen with a mocking expression, completely unconcerned about other people's opinions.
Qiao Zhen tugged at the sash of her dress, her expression stiffening: "Hmm."
God knows how much patience it will take for him to finally tell her.
"Since Miss Qiao has no comment on this matter, then let's just leave it at that."
"What?" Song Shiyi was caught off guard by the huge difference and stood up from the sofa.
"No, isn't this a bit too much..."
Song's father did not expect Lu Zheng to be so unsympathetic, and tentatively spoke up.
Lu Zheng ignored these people and directly replied, "Someone, see the guests out."
Lu Zheng always kept his word. The Song family was turned away, and because of Lu Zheng's powerful influence, they couldn't vent their anger on him directly. Instead, they could only take out their resentment on Qiao Zhen.
Qiao Zhen pursed her lips, her resentment towards Lu Zheng growing even stronger.
Good heavens, all I did was back out of the deal, and Lu Zheng managed to shift all the blame onto me with just a few words.
After watching Song Jia and the other woman leave, Qiao Zhen finally dared to look at Lu Zheng with resentment.
"What, are you still angry?"
Lu Zheng found Qiao Zhen's appearance adorable and couldn't help but pinch his cheek.
Qiao Zhen slapped his hand away and said irritably, "Don't touch me, you scumbag!"
"How did I become a scumbag?" Lu Zheng smiled, his eyes full of doting affection.
Seeing Lu Zheng like this, Qiao Zhen almost fell for him, but fortunately he managed to control his emotions in time: "You deliberately threw all the problems at me and shifted all the blame onto me, what are you up to?"
"I just wanted you to speak up for me, didn't I?" Lu Zheng hugged Qiao Zhen tightly, holding him in his arms.
"Well, I guess I believe you," Qiao Zhen said sarcastically, then turned her head to one side, clearly still sulking.
Lu Zheng smiled, completely ignoring Qiao Zhen's angry expression, and leaned close to his ear, saying, "Since you trust me, do you have the nerve to attend a banquet tonight?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen's first reaction was whether he was up to something, so she looked at him with suspicion.
Lu Zheng immediately raised his hands in surrender: "This time I am sincerely inviting you."
Seeing Lu Zheng's expression, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, then I'll trust you one more time."
"But before that..." Lu Zheng seemed to have been hiding it for a long time. He grasped Qiao Zhen's small, delicate belly and led her into the bedroom.
"What are you doing?" Qiao Zhen frowned warily.
This guy wouldn't be taking advantage of this short time to...
Lu Zheng laughed and said, "You guessed right, baby."
*
After so many times, Qiao Zhen accepted this kind of life.
When the time was almost up, Lu Zheng released Qiao Zhen and turned to go to the bathroom to wash up.
Qiao Zhen struggled to her feet, and looking at the man's back without the slightest trace of lingering affection, she grimaced.
"That scoundrel, he was definitely up to no good!"
Using that submissive tone, he bit into his deepest wound.
Qiao Zhen gave a cold snort and then carefully covered her body with concealer.
While covering herself, she glanced at the figure in the bathroom.
The more she looked at him, the more displeased she became with his back view.
When Lu Zheng came out, he only saw Qiao Zhen with a resentful look in her eyes.
"Why are you angry?" Lu Zheng rubbed Qiao Zhen's head, seemingly unaware that his behavior just now was wrong.
"No," Qiao Zhen replied curtly, but the resentment in her tone was still quite obvious.
Lu Zheng could tell he was unhappy, but he didn't call him out on it.
"Get ready, the banquet will start soon."
