Stepsister, do you always come over here? No, sister...
"Ms. Zhen is truly talented. I am narrow-minded."
The commander couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. He ran away because he was afraid that the responsibility would be on his head. He didn't expect that Zhen Zhu could actually hold on.
Zhen Min'er clenched her palms.
*
The performance ended successfully.
Zhen Zhu went off the stage and asked her stepsister to help her tidy up her skirt. When she saw that she had done it, she handed her the music score.
"you..."
"Sister, that's great."
Then I saw my stepsister look up, her eyes sparkling as she looked at me, her amber eyes shining brightly: "Sister, you are so beautiful."
“…”
Her gaze unconsciously shifted to the side. Zhen Zhu coughed lightly and took back the music sheet she had handed over. "Hmph, it's just a small matter."
Holding the music sheet in her hand, Zhen Zhu walked out of the backstage at a slightly faster pace, not to avoid her stepsister, but because she was anxious to get home.
"Miss Zhen!"
Just as Zhen Zhu was about to leave the theater with a group of people, she heard shouting behind her. Turning around, she saw Director Lu running, panting and shouting, his fat body trembling.
Zhen Zhu didn't really want to care, but——
"ah!"
Zhen Zhu heard a voice behind her and turned around to see Director Lu grabbing the arm of her stepsister who was walking at the back.
He took two quick steps forward and pulled Principal Lu's hand away: "Principal Lu, what do you mean by this?"
Zhen Zhu pulled the troublesome stepsister behind her and frowned at him: "I didn't bother you at all, and you came to me first?"
"No, no." Principal Lu stopped wiping his sweat and shook his head repeatedly: "I just want to apologize to you."
"This is our mistake, I hope you can understand us..."
"Why should I understand you?"
Zhen Zhu interrupted Director Lu and snorted coldly, "I gave you the money, but you took the money to do the job and didn't do it well."
"You want me, a paid performer, to understand how difficult it is for you?"
"You have no shame. I even find it disgusting."
Zhen Zhu finished speaking, looking past the pale face and looking at the looming figure in the distance: "I only have one word to say."
"I am a person who holds grudges very much."
Then he pulled his stepsister away, who was still trying to look back at him a few more times.
Zhen Zhu sat in the car and immediately withdrew her hand from Zhen Min'er's wrist.
The slightly cool hand had just left... Zhen Miner stretched out her hand out of habit, wanting to grab the coolness, but when she was about to grab it, she held it down with her other hand.
No, my sister will be unhappy.
Zhen Zhu was indeed angry.
When she thought about how Zhen Min'er had just opened her mouth and looked at her pleadingly, as if asking for mercy...
Zhen Zhu got angry.
Is this what a naive and innocent heroine is like, not knowing what is good for her?
Then she should just be her vicious female supporting role!
"Hey, do you know the complete novel script?" Zhen Zhu asked the system in her mind: "Are you sure a naive and innocent Bai Lianhua won't be tortured to death by Jining Lan's family?"
Although Jining Lan's family is slightly inferior to the Zhen family, it is definitely not a poor wealthy family, just a step behind.
If you only know how to cry and retreat when encountering problems, you will be eaten until not even a bone is left.
"I don't know. The Lord God didn't tell me~" The baby voice said innocently: "Host, why do you care so much? There is a male protagonist who will take care of her. Are you worried about the female protagonist?"
"Who's worried about her?" Zhen Zhu responded immediately, "I just want to know the plot so that I can do it better in the future!"
"Then you just need to bring the hero and heroine together. After all, the hero and heroine in the story will be happily together forever."
The baby voice was very satisfied with her answer: "Anyway, the heroine's happiness value must have changed because of the hero."
"Okay."
Zhen Zhu stopped talking.
Just match them up, the first step is...
Cancel the engagement.
I wonder if my father has come back? Zhen Zhu was thinking this when she suddenly felt a warm sensation on her arm.
While I was still confused, I heard Zhen Min'er's panicked apology: "I'm sorry, sister, I accidentally bumped into you just now."
"..." Zhen Zhu frowned instinctively and looked at her stepsister who was trying to unbuckle her seat belt in a panic. Doesn't she understand safety?
"Okay, stop moving."
"It was just a touch on the arm."
"...Thank you, sis."
As soon as Zhen Zhu finished speaking, her stepsister beside her had tears in her eyes, and without moving, her warm body pressed against her exposed skin.
“…”
Zhen Zhu was not in very good health and often felt cold, but as the eldest daughter of the Zhen family, she had to maintain a decent appearance when traveling. However, decent attire, like a dress, could not completely cover the body, so gradually, she got used to the coldness.
But at this moment, the warm body beside her brought her some warmth.
Zhen Zhu restrained her instinct to get closer to Zhen Min'er, and inexplicably recalled the past -
It seems like every time, my stepsister would come closer?
[Ding Dong—The heroine's happiness index has increased by another five! It's now 35%!!]
The system said happily, "Hurry, hurry, strike while the iron is hot, host."
Strike while the iron is hot? Oh, yes, the male protagonist. Zhen Zhu, whose thoughts were interrupted, immediately understood what the system meant and said lightly: "Zhen Min'er."
"elder sister?"
Leaning on her sister's slightly cool skin, feeling the chill and...softness there, Zhen Min'er felt very comfortable, and the joy in her heart filled her eyes.
Is she happy because she is going to talk about breaking off the engagement later?
Seeing the corners of Zhen Miner's lips curled up, Zhen Zhu understood, but...she thought of Jining Lan.
"I'll talk to my father tonight and I can break off the engagement."
"But I can't help you get engaged."
"Jining Lan's family——"
[Ding Dong—The heroine's happiness index has dropped by another 5! It's back to 30%! !]
The system interrupted Zhen Zhu repeatedly, "Oh my God, host, how could you say such a thing? Of course this will make the heroine sad!"
Isn't Zhen Min'er so fragile? She just mentioned it!
Feeling unhappy, Zhen Zhu frowned, her cold eyes looked even colder, and she spoke without any emotion: "I will definitely cancel the engagement, you can rest assured."
"No, wait a minute," Zhen Min'er said quickly. Absolutely not. Sister couldn't cancel the engagement. Sister had previously said that if we canceled the engagement, we'd keep our distance. Absolutely not! She wouldn't accept that!
"Sister, I..."
"Miss, we're here."
The exclusive driver, Master Li, spoke up, interrupting Zhen Miner before she finished speaking.
"Okay." Zhen Zhu unbuckled her seat belt, got out of the car, and walked straight to the villa. The bodyguard had just said that her father had returned home and should be in the study.
Zhen Min'er quickly unbuckled her seat belt and walked into the villa in two quick steps.
I have to catch up with my sister.
A soft voice called her: "Min'er..."
Zhen Min'er stopped and turned her head to look at the lady with carefully combed hair, who was dignified, beautiful, gentle and kind...
She is the step-wife of Zhen Hongbo, the current head of the Zhen family.
She is also her biological mother.

Zhen Zhu knocked on the door and pushed it open.
Seeing the elegant middle-aged man with a gold-rimmed head sitting in front of the desk, Zhen Zhu couldn't help but curl her lips and took two quick steps to sit down across from the desk: "Dad, you're finally back. How was your time this time?"
Zhen Hongbo looked up at his daughter, who made him so proud. He raised his glasses with his hand and smiled kindly, "Not bad. Secretary Wu said you solved a big problem at Celia Theater today."
"It wasn't a big deal. It was just that the lights in the theater were turned off, and a bunch of people panicked. They had no idea how to handle the emergency."
"Yes."
Zhen Zhu frowned: "A small chief in a small theater dared to do such an outrageous thing as cutting off the power during the performance. What kind of rubbish theater is this!"
"What? You actually made my daughter unhappy. Then this theater has no need to exist." Zhen Hongbo slammed the table angrily.
"That's not necessary. After all, this is the first theater my father found for me."
"Actually, I came to see Dad today for something else."
"Hmm?" Zhen Hongbo returned to his normal state, poured a cup of freshly boiled tea, and asked with a smile, "Do you have any troubles to ask Dad? I will definitely help my good daughter solve it."
"I want to cancel my engagement with Jining Lan."
Zhen Zhu spoke directly, "Let Jininglan and Zhen Miner get engaged."
Zhen Hongbo paused as he was about to sip the teacup, then slowly put it down and looked at his beautiful daughter. "Why does my daughter suddenly want to break off the engagement?"
"Is it that Jininglan that treats you badly?"
Zhen Hongbo suppressed his smile and said in a dignified manner, "I'll call the Ji family later. How could they not treat my daughter well?!"
"No." Zhen Zhu raised her eyes and snorted coldly: "It's simply that I don't like him. If Zhen Min'er likes him, give him to her."
"Dad, when are you going to cancel the engagement?" Zhen Zhu went to see her father. From childhood to adulthood, her father had always been obedient to her.
"…no."
Zhen Hongbo shook his head. "Although you are my precious daughter, breaking off the engagement is not a simple matter."
"Why?"
Zhen Zhu frowned. This was the first time her father rejected her request.
Zhen Hongbo sighed and shook his head, "Your sister is no match for you. The Ji family won't agree, and this matter has nothing to do with Jininglan."
"...Even if the Ji family can't accept Zhen Min'er now, father can cancel my engagement with Jin Ninglan first."
"Besides, Jining Lan doesn't like me either."
Zhen Zhu flattened her lips: "Whether Zhen Min'er can be with Jininglan has nothing to do with me, but I don't want to get involved. I just want to end my relationship with Jininglan."
"It shouldn't be difficult for Father." Although Zhen Zhu was not involved in the family business, she knew that "our family can't be inferior to the Ji family."
"Hey, my dear daughter." Zhen Hongbo stood up, walked to Zhen Zhu, and rubbed her head. "Yes, our family is definitely not worse than the Ji family, but we can't just cancel the engagement casually."
"The Zhen family and the Ji family have a lot of cooperation. If this..."
"Father, do you mean that I can't do it?" Zhen Zhu looked up and looked directly at her father.
"But I don't think so. Yes, our family has cooperated a lot with the Jining Lan family, but it's all mutually beneficial. They wouldn't give up the benefits they have just for a marriage contract, right?"
"But my daughter." Zhen Hongbo walked back to his side, picked up the teacup and blew twice. "It's too sudden to suddenly propose to cancel the engagement with the Ji family. There is no reason for it. You said this too suddenly and there is no reason. I need to think about it."
"...Didn't I say that it's because Zhen Min'er likes Jininglan and I don't like Jininglan? Isn't that reason enough?"
What is the father hesitating about? What reason does he need?
Zhen Zhu stood up, her eyes cold: "Did father give me a reason when he wanted to marry my stepmother?"
