Chapter 284: Born After Ten Months of Pregnancy

Fortunately, he didn’t care; otherwise, if anyone else were in his shoes, dealing with such a biased master and a heartless little junior sister would inevitably lead to sect conflicts.

“That’s fine, I was just about to go to Country Z to take care of some business, I’ll take a look.”

As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Zhenzhen, “Keep an eye on her tonight, no alcohol.”

Lu Zhenzhen gave him an OK gesture.

In the afternoon, when Nan Jiaojiao woke up from her nap, Lu Zhenzhen was already dressed up.

She was wearing a strapless petal gown, with a touch of red at the bust, white below that, tapering at the waist, and petals starting below the knees.

The long skirt with bold red roses trailed along the ground, and she wore a shawl over it.

Nan Jiaojiao touched it, finding it quite thick.

Despite her ostentatious beauty, Miss Lu had not forgotten to keep warm.

Nan Jiaojiao wore a black horsehair skirt with a beige windbreaker long-sleeved shirt on top.

She was cold-sensitive and slender, so this outfit allowed her to secretly layer more clothes.

The hairstylist was doing Lu Zhenzhen’s hair in the room and had also prepared one for Nan Jiaojiao, but halfway through, Nan Jiaojiao stopped him to go downstairs and picked a red plum blossom to use as a hairpin.

The full moon party was quite grand, with luxury cars lined up outside.

Lu Zhenzhen handed over the invitations and entered, arm in arm with Nan Jiaojiao, “I’m not networking tonight, I’ll hang out with you.”

No sooner had she spoken than Lu Zhenzhen saw Bo Yanching surrounded by people nearby.

She pulled Nan Jiaojiao’s arm, “Third Master Bo is over there.”

Nan Jiaojiao raised her forehead slightly, “I see him, so what?”

“What exactly is going on between you two, you just broke it off, maybe, should I have someone test him?”

“It’s not worth it.”

Nan Jiaojiao picked up a small cake and said softly, “There’s no official status, don’t reach out too long, he’s not interested in me.”

Lu Zhenzhen gave a cold laugh, thinking about how dare he sleep with her precious and then not take responsibility — as if it were that easy.

“I’ll handle this; you don’t interfere.”

Nan Jiaojiao, seeing she meant business, hurriedly stopped her, “Don’t.”

Lu Zhenzhen met her gaze and clicked her tongue, “Alright, alright, I won’t touch him.”

She could always take action in private.

Soon, several groups of people came over to greet Lu Zhenzhen.

She exchanged a few polite words with them; as soon as someone brought up business, she skillfully deflected them.

People understood she was not discussing business today and left after exchanging pleasantries.

But she still couldn’t stop people from coming over to make connections.

It was only when Lu Zhenzhen saw an elderly man who had helped her that she said to Nan Jiaojiao, “Entertain yourself for a while, I’ll come find you later.”

Nan Jiaojiao nodded and watched as Lu Zhenzhen took two drinks and went over to the elderly gentleman.

Nan Jiaojiao also picked up a colorful and pretty drink.

The fruit scent in the alcohol was strong, and since she wasn’t good with alcohol, sipping it was just for show.

When she got bored, she hopped off the high stool and wandered around.

She sent Lu Zhenzhen a message, to avoid Lu Zhenzhen coming back and not finding her.

“I’ve even agreed to accept her son, why are you still bringing her back?

Since you want me to be the child’s mother, why place his birth mother under the same roof?

What do you expect me to do in the future?”

With narrowed eyes, Nan Jiaojiao stood right at the angle of the wall, where the light was dim on both sides; the bright light from her phone screen outlined her jawline in white.

She turned off the screen, intending to head back the way she came, but she suddenly heard some scuffling noises and couldn’t help but press against the wall and stand still.

“That’s the child she carried for ten months; how can you bear to separate mother and son?

Plus, she has already assured you in your presence that she will never acknowledge her son.

What more do you want?”
