Chapter 387: Chapter 385 Going to the Lu Family 7_1

"Uncle, you’re making too big a deal of it; we’ll definitely come when the time comes."

"Yeah! Even if there was something hugely important, we would still have to come!"

"Isn’t that the truth!"

Everyone fawned over him one after another.

After the crowd dispersed, the Lu family once again returned to tranquility.

The old patriarch looked at Xia Ningxing with a kind expression and proposed, "Xingxing, how about I throw you and Lu Tingli an engagement party?"

Xia Ningxing, however, shook her head, "There’s no need, Grandpa. A simple meal with both our families is enough; we don’t need all that pomp."

She still planned to play dumb in the entertainment circle; if people knew she had such a powerful background, then everyone would walk on eggshells around her—how boring that would be.

As for everyone already knowing she was the daughter of Mrs. Lin Lan and Xia Jiehao, this was not really a big deal. The true elite families would not take someone like her, who started from scratch in the business world, seriously.

"Okay." The old patriarch nodded obediently, not insisting on it.

Though he was old, he had been keeping up with technology and the news recently, even becoming quite fashionable. He naturally knew that celebrities needed to hide their relationships to avoid impacting their careers.

Xia Ningxing: ...No, I’m different, I just want to play at being the hidden tiger for fun!

In the following days at the Lu family’s, Xia Ningxing helped the old patriarch with his acupuncture while planning to start her entertainment company.

She calculated that her license would be approved in just a few more days.

On the third day, Xia Ningxing needed to return to school as she had a cultural studies class in the morning.

Ruan Ruanruan was also in the class. Though they were in different majors, they shared the same general education classes.

After class, as Xia Ningxing and Ruan Ruanruan just stepped out of the classroom, a woman approached from the side and blocked their way.

To be precise, she blocked Xia Ningxing.

"Xia Ningxing!"

She called out her name with her arms crossed and a manner that screamed superiority.

Xia Ningxing slightly raised her eyes, only to see Wei Yoyo’s beautiful face.

Today, Wei Yoyo wore delicate makeup, stood on seven-centimeter heels to barely meet Xia Ningxing’s eye level, carried the latest handbag, and was dressed in international top-tier brands from head to toe.

"I need to talk to you!"

Her tone was commanding, her chin lifted in arrogance, and her eyes held a trace of contempt as if Xia Ningxing were nothing but an ant.

She had already thought of ways to drive Xia Ningxing away these past few days.

"Xiaxia, do you know her?" Seeing the woman’s pretentious attitude, Ruan Ruanruan couldn’t help but frown.

"Not well." Xia Ningxing answered Ruan Ruanruan first then turned to Wei Yoyo, with distance and coldness, "Miss Wei, I don’t think we have anything to talk about, so that will be all."

Time was precious, and she didn’t want to waste it on her.

Having said that, Xia Ningxing was about to leave with Ruan Ruanruan.

"Wait!" Seeing Xia Ningxing ignore her like that, Wei Yoyo’s face immediately turned ugly, "Xia Ningxing, are you scared of me, which is why you dare not talk to me!?"

Provocation?

Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but chuckle softly, suddenly exclaiming, "So Miss Wei has always seen herself as a ferocious beast!"

"What?" Wei Yoyo’s mind clearly couldn’t keep up with Xia Ningxing’s train of thought, frowning tightly, completely puzzled as to why she would say that.

"Otherwise, why would Miss Wei think that I would be afraid of you?" Xia Ningxing also tilted her chin up, asking with her arms crossed.

"You!" Wei Yoyo’s face contorted with anger: "Sharp-tongued!"

"Thank you for the compliment!" Xia Ningxing raised her eyebrows, ready to leave, but Wei Yoyo clapped her hands and called over two muscular men.

Xia Ningxing stopped in her tracks, her gaze growing cold as she demanded, "What do you mean by this?"

"Miss Xia, I advise you to obediently come with me, or you’ll regret it!" Wei Yoyo’s eyes narrowed.

"How can you be like this and force someone else!" Ruan Ruanruan came to her defense, her clear eyes glaring fiercely at her: "I’m going to inform the school security to have you all thrown out right now."

"Go ahead and tell them." Wei Yoyo was fearless.

Since she was able to bring people in, it naturally meant she had permission.

This is power!

Ruan Ruanruan also realized this, immediately freezing in place.

"Ruanruan, you go home first, I’ll go with her," Xia Ningxing said, seeing that the woman was relentless, her expression suddenly turning cold as she pushed Ruanruan to the side, lest she also become the target of this woman’s resentment because of her.

Wasn’t that precisely what happened with Wu Wenwen? Ruanruan was friends with her, and she targeted her as well.

"But..." Ruanruan was no fool, she could clearly see that this woman had ill intentions, and at this moment, she couldn’t rest easy letting her face this jackal alone.

"There are no ’buts’, don’t worry about me, have you forgotten how good I am?" Xia Ningxing whispered into her ear.

Only then did Ruanruan nod, but her brows were still full of worry: "Xiaxia, even though you are skilled, you still need to be careful!"

"Don’t worry." Xia Ningxing nodded her head, then turned her cold eyes to Wei Yoyo: "So, where shall we talk?"

"The Western restaurant opposite. I’ve already booked a private room," Wei Yoyo said, sticking her chin up, once again adopting a superior attitude.

"Fine."

Xia Ningxing didn’t bother to waste any more words with her, but as she was about to leave, she was held back: "Go through the back door."

These past few days, it had been Lu Tingli picking up and dropping off Xia Ningxing from school, and she did not want him to find out that she had come looking for her, lest it ruin her image.

Xia Ningxing was well aware of her petty thoughts and couldn’t help but snort coldly, indulging her antics.

After sitting down in the private room, Wei Yoyo swirled her glass of red wine, asking with a smile as if chatting about family matters, "Xia Ningxing, do you really love Lu Tingli?"

"Of course," Xia Ningxing replied without hesitation.

Wei Yoyo’s smile deepened, as if she had waited just for this answer, then she continued, "If that’s the case, then you should leave him, otherwise your love is just too selfish!"

"What do you mean?" Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

She really wanted to know, how on earth her love was selfish!

"I thought you were smart, but I didn’t expect you to be so foolish!" Wei Yoyo took a sip of her wine, looking at her with disdain, before setting down the glass to clear up her confusion:

"Let’s just say, I might as well tell you straight, don’t you see the Lu Family still as prosperous as ever? But all of this is based on the fact that Sir Lu is still alive, he has the skills and prestige, he’s Star Shine’s benefactor, so outsiders as well as other members of the Lu Family are wary of him. But what if he were to pass away? Who would still fear the Lu Family then?"

"At that time, they will swarm like flies smelling meat, trying every possible means to get a piece of the Lu Family’s wealth!"
