Old Master Lu originally didn't want to deal with this kind of person, but considering that Lu Zheng had specifically instructed him to do so, he had no choice but to give her face.
"Yes, Xiaoyue is here. Please have a seat."
After all, the person who could change Lu Zheng's attitude was no ordinary individual; he still needed to deal with them seriously.
Thinking of this, the smile on Old Master Lu's face softened.
Tang Yue didn't stand on ceremony with him and pulled Qiao Zhen to find a seat.
Qiao Zhen finally managed to free herself from Tang Yue's hand and tried her best to stay far away from Tang Yue.
"What's wrong, Miss Qiao? Are you really that unwilling to get close to me?"
Tang Yue spoke very loudly, and almost everyone around them was watching them.
Qiao Zhen hadn't expected her to be so daring. Seeing the probing looks from those around her, she just smiled awkwardly and said, "Miss Tang, I'm not familiar with you, so please don't overstep your bounds."
Since Tang Yue didn't give him face, Qiao Zhen wasn't going to take it lying down either, and she directly retorted.
Sure enough, Tang Yue's face looked a little unpleasant, but she didn't react; she simply maintained a polite smile.
Seeing that Lu Zheng was late in arriving, Old Master Lu did not want to delay any longer, so he let everyone chat first.
"Miss Qiao, could you show me the way? It's my first time here and I'm not familiar with the area."
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen wanted to refuse, but seeing that Tang Yue had been clinging to her since earlier, she knew that even if she refused, she would find a way to make Tang Yue accompany her.
"Never mind, let's go." Qiao Zhen got up and followed Tang Yue into the shadows.
The two went up to the third floor, while all the other guests were on the first floor, making their place seem even quieter.
"What exactly do you want?" Qiao Zhen keenly sensed that Tang Yue had ill intentions and looked at her with great vigilance.
"What could possibly happen to me, Miss Qiao?" Tang Yue smiled slightly, then suddenly kicked Qiao Zhen in the lower abdomen.
Qiao Zhen was caught off guard by Tang Yue's boldness. She was about to cry out when she discovered that Tang Yue had already covered her mouth.
"Ha, you really are just like your mother, so despicable!"
Tang Yue looked at Qiao Zhen, who had fallen to the ground, and said with some disdain that she had kicked the knee of the person in front of her.
"Hey! Get up!"
What if the people downstairs realize they haven't returned yet and go upstairs to look for them?
Could it be that this little bitch is trying to lie on the ground and play the victim?
Tang Yue wasn't that stupid. She reached out and grabbed Qiao Zhen's fair arm as if she were condescending, trying to pull her up.
What are you doing! It hurts!
Her legs felt like they were filled with lead, and her thighs were red and swollen, making it impossible for her to stand properly.
Qiao Zhen's fair face showed a look of pain, her pearly teeth pressed against her pink lips, leaving a string of marks.
Seeing the person in front of her like this, Tang Yue was even more furious.
It was this shameless look that seduced Lu Zheng.
If she weren't afraid of Lu Zheng holding her accountable, she really wanted to disfigure Qiao Zhen.
At this moment, Qiao Zhen also realized how terrifying Tang Yue was, and couldn't help but retreat repeatedly.
At that moment, Tang Yue heard someone coming upstairs.
Tang Yue knew in her heart that this was bad. She couldn't let anyone see Qiao Zhen like this, otherwise everything she had worked so hard to build would be ruined!
With a determined look in her heart, she increased the force in her hand, and just as Qiao Zhen stood up, Tang Yue used the momentum to roll down the stairs.
At that moment, Old Master Lu and Lu Zheng and others went up the stairs.
"Tang Yue!"
Qiao Zhen exclaimed in surprise, her almond-shaped eyes filled with astonishment. She had wanted to grab Tang Yue's hand, but it remained frozen in mid-air.
"ah!"
Qiao Zhen's legs buckled and she fell to the ground again. Her already injured legs were now covered in bruises. She struggled to get down the steps step by step along the handrail, trying to defend herself.
How could she not see it? Tang Yue was just trying to frame her by taking over the matter herself!
I never expected Tang Yue to be so willing to go all out!
"Tang Yue! What's wrong with you?"
Grandpa Lu immediately rushed forward anxiously to check the injuries.
"I...I'm fine. Please don't blame Miss Qiao. She didn't mean it."
Tang Yue's eyes were red and her face was pale as she spoke. She glanced at Qiao Zhen on the stairs, a hint of smugness flashing in her eyes.
Now... I'm the victim.
Looking at Tang Yue's injuries, Old Master Lu felt a mix of emotions and couldn't help but glance at Qiao Zhen.
"Qiao Zhen!"
When Lu Zheng pushed the door open, he saw Tang Yue tumbling down the stairs, while Qiao Zhen's hand remained still.
"I know you two don't get along, but this is the Lu residence. You should at least give me some face, right?"
Lu Zheng stared intently at her.
Qiao Zhen was shocked that Lu Zheng didn't believe her: "You, you actually believe that I pushed her?"
Tears streamed down her face and fell to the ground, making her sway slightly.
Reason told Qiao Zhen that this was not her intention, and she did not want to cry.
She cried only because she felt wronged after being wronged, not because Lu Zheng didn't trust her.
"Mr. Lu, please don't blame Miss Qiao! I accidentally fell!"
Seeing that the situation was tilting in her favor, Tang Yue immediately added fuel to the fire by defending Qiao Zhen.
She hadn't expected that Lu Zheng would trust her so much.
Qiao Zhen's lips trembled, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. If she still didn't understand by now, she would truly be a fool! Tang Yue was clearly framing her!
"She fell down by herself! And when I was on the steps earlier, she deliberately pushed me from behind!" Qiao Zhen said, her dark eyes filled with accusation, each word distinct.
