Chapter 1367: Who Invited Him

Nan Jiaojiao really wanted to say something nice, but she instinctively nodded.

Lu Zhenzhen slapped her.

It almost knocked Nan Jiaojiao senseless.

After catching her breath, she gritted her teeth and said, “Really!

Look at yourself; if you’re not wearing bright red, it’s deep purple.

You’re always in black at the office.

You’re just banking on that twenty-year-old face of yours.

Wait till you’re ten years older; even the school principal won’t be as authoritative as you.”

Lu Zhenzhen looked down at herself for quite a while, letting her foot off the accelerator, allowing the car to glide forward.

She sighed, suddenly worried, “Do you think I dress like this every day, and that’s why Gao Zhe cheated?”

“…” Nan Jiaojiao was dumbfounded.

She wasn’t that knowledgeable.

But even with little knowledge, she was surprised how someone could so naturally expose their emotional wounds.

Her tone was as relaxed as if she was discussing a cabbage with a yellowing leaf edge.

Out of conscience, Nan Jiaojiao managed to say, “Not really.

You’re good-looking.

I haven’t seen a girl prettier than you except myself.

I haven’t interacted much with Gao Zhe, but he definitely has a thing for looks.”

Not even Jin Rui’s looks would catch Gao Zhe’s eye.

Lu Zhenzhen frowned and snorted, “Fine, this is my style.

In the worst-case scenario, I’ll cut my losses and be a widow early.”

Nan Jiaojiao silently gave a thumbs-up, her face full of solemn admiration.

Never seen someone curse themselves like this before.

The car drove in, Lu Zhenzhen lazy; outside, she was efficient, but at home, she’d avoid steps where possible.

Mr.

Lu, a doting father, had a separate garage built in the villa directly for Lu Zhenzhen’s beloved cars.

Each parking spot was close to the elevator.

After parking, Lu Zhenzhen slipped the car keys into her pocket, noticed a black Mercedes she hadn’t seen before, and took a couple of extra glances before casually pulling Nan Jiaojiao into the elevator.

Mr.

Lu waited at the elevator, and as soon as he saw his daughter, he beamed with joy, “Zhenzhen’s back, are you tired?

Your mom made pear water for you, with extra sugar.”

He nodded at Nan Jiaojiao, “There’s some for Jiaojiao too, tonight’s dishes are all your favorites.

Later, keep company with your uncle for a couple of drinks, and if you get drunk, stay at home and sleep with Zhenzhen.”

Before Nan Jiaojiao could speak, Lu Zhenzhen spoke up: “Dad, Jiaojiao doesn’t drink.

I don’t like it either.

I’ve told you to drink less.

Eating and drinking, can your stomach take that?”

“Just a small cup, it’s nothing!”

Mr.

Lu smiled with a bit of flattery, “Oh, and milk tea is ready too.

Your mother personally made it.

She didn’t trust anyone else with it.

The leaves are the expensive ones I’ve been saving.

I’ll try some too.

I see you girls love it.”

Lu Zhenzhen glared at him, clearly with reproach in her eyes, but her scolding was brief.

She took off her coat and hung it on the rack, casually asking, “Dad, did you buy a new car?”

“What car?”

“The Mercedes in the garage.

I thought you only liked company cars.”

“Ah…

that’s not mine.”

At this moment, Gao Zhe came out of the kitchen carrying two dishes.

Lu Zhenzhen’s sharp eyes caught him instantly.

“Who invited him here!”

“Zhenzhen…”

Mr.

Lu restrained her, “I invited him.

Ah Zhe always comes to our weekly family dinner.

I called him over.

Without him, it feels a bit off at home…”

“Get used to it soon!

Without Gao Zhe, there will be others.

Letting him occupy the spot, what’s that supposed to mean?!”
