Chapter 1192: Chapter 1192: A Blow to the Head

Lu Jianan couldn’t help but roll her eyes, this guy was indeed here to mock her.

“No, I haven’t heard of Su Wen doing anything. How could you have fallen out with her because of that?”

As the spokesperson for the Su family, Xu Junfeng had increased contacts with the Province side, especially the Su family’s studio, so he knew quite a bit about Su Wen’s daily affairs.

Their collaboration was also quite satisfactory, and Xu Junfeng, who was so picky, couldn’t help but admire the Su family’s work style.

Efficient and decisive, they never dragged their feet; they were prompt with payments and had good taste in appreciation. In short, Xu Junfeng found them very much to his liking.

Xu Junfeng’s trust in Su Wen that was evident in his words displeased Lu Jianan. “How do you know she hasn’t done anything?”

“You don’t know yet? Su Wen is pregnant and is taking it easy to nurture the fetus! I heard that the Zhou family’s boss is so nervous he wishes he could stay by her side twenty-four hours a day. How could she possibly have the energy to deal with Song Zishan? As far as I know, Su Wen has never done anything to Song Zishan, right?”

The implication was that Song Zishan had always been the one causing trouble for Su Wen.

Lu Jianan was quite pleased to hear that Su Wen was pregnant but, considering that Song Zishan had quarreled with her over Su Wen, suspecting that she was overly familiar with Su Wen behind the scenes, Lu Jianan had to hold back her emotions.

“Tell me about your fight with Song Zishan”, Xu Junfeng said gleefully, thinking about how Lu Jianan had become the target of public criticism like a street rat everyone wants to beat, yet she was oblivious and instinctively defending the instigator.

The quarrel was nothing shameful, so Lu Jianan shared the details.

Listening to her, Xu Junfeng fell silent.

Was it all just because of suspicion in her heart? A few verbal spats, most of which were Song Zishan scolding Lu Jianan, and she played such vicious tricks behind her back?

“So you just returned to the Capital like that? What is your plan now?”

“I was impulsive at the time, but after calming down, I planned to wait for Zishan’s anger to subside, then go and apologize to clear things up with her. I think Su Wen is nice, but there is absolutely nothing between us.”

“You don’t need to go”, Xu Junfeng snorted coldly, “You’ve been locked at home for over a week and still have no idea about the rumors circulating about you.”

“What rumors about me?” A jolt went through Lu Jianan’s heart, prompting a sinking premonition.

“Anyway, they’re quite nasty; you’re better off not knowing.” Nasty wasn’t the word—downright malicious. Those words would be unbearable to any young girl.

Unfortunately, the more Xu Junfeng refused to tell, the more Lu Jianan wanted to know. “Tell me? If you don’t, I’ll ask someone else. I’ve already made a fool of myself in front of you, asking others will surely lead to more mockery.”

“Heh, what you’re saying makes sense.” Xu Junfeng didn’t even know what to say to Lu Jianan, “Basically, they’re saying you’re an toad lusting after swan meat, that you stopped at nothing to get close to Song Jinyan, and your friendship with Song Zishan was merely using her.”

There was more, but Xu Junfeng couldn’t be bothered to go into details, just summarized the essence of it.

Yet these few sentences were like a heavy blow to Lu Jianan.

She had a crush on Song Jinyan—it had always been a silent, unrequited love, a love of one’s own. She always knew she wasn’t good enough for him and understood that she and Song Jinyan were simply from two different worlds.

She had never told anyone about her feelings for Song Jinyan and had never even thought of marrying him.

This deepest secret of her heart was now cruelly carved out and laid bare for everyone to ridicule and laugh at…

It goes without saying how awful the rumors on the outside must be. With the issue linked to Song Jinyan, who knows how many people were waiting to see her humiliated.
