Chapter 565: 564 Lu Zhizhou is here_1
"Yiyi, why are you alone here?"
Lu Zhizhou’s gaze quickly settled on Lu Qingyi, her smile genuine. She could not hide her joy upon seeing Lu Qingyi.
"Peace."
Lu Qingyi’s icy demeanor softened somewhat. Her voice was faint.
"Did Boyan not come?"
Lu Zhizhou walked up to Lu Qingyi and gently furrowed her brows.
It was inappropriate for Lu Qingyi, as a pregnant woman, to be alone without Xu Boyan’s company.
"He has something to attend to at his company. He’ll come later."
Lu Qingyi’s voice was steady. Seeing Lu Zhizhou seemed to soothe her anger.
She didn’t want Lu Zhizhou to see her violent side.
Those gathered were stunned to see that Lu Zhizhou and Lu Qingyi knew each other, and seemed to share a good relationship.
Liang Jiaojiao bit her lip tightly, scrutinizing Lu Qingyi from head to toe before quickly turning her gaze back to Lu Zhizhou.
Lu Zhizhou wasn’t someone she knew well, but she was a well-known figure in their social circle, someone many girls admired.
"Let me introduce everyone. This is my younger sister, Qingyi, Lu Qingyi."
Lu Zhizhou wrapped an arm around Lu Qingyi’s shoulder, introducing her with a radiant smile.
Lu Zhizhou knew very well that someone was looking for trouble with Lu Qingyi, but she couldn’t lose her temper.
Sister?
Lu Qingyi?
People glanced at each other, incredulous and somewhat frightened.
"If you observe carefully, you’ll find that there’s a certain resemblance in our eyes and brows."
Lu Zhizhou knew exactly what these people were thinking. She spoke slowly.
It was true. Once Lu Zhizhou mentioned it, people did notice a resemblance in Lu Qingyi and Lu Zhizhou’s features.
Their eyebrows were very similar.
"When did Zhizhou have a younger sister?"
"No wonder she is so beautiful. She is Zhizhou’s sister."
"How come we never heard about Zhizhou having a sister before?"
"Qingyi is truly beautiful."
"I was wondering why I had never seen such a beautiful girl before."
"Both sisters are incredibly pretty." fгeewebnovёl.com
"..."
After Lu Zhizhou revealed that Lu Qingyi was her sister, the crowd’s attitude shifted immediately, heaping praises upon Lu Qingyi.
A grin tugged at the corner of Lu Qingyi’s mouth, her smile brimming with playfulness.
"I must maintain my image."
Lu Zhizhou leaned in towards Lu Qingyi and spoke softly.
Throughout her life, she had maintained a certain image in front of others. If she were to change it suddenly, she would likely give rise to gossip.
Living amidst the wealthy and powerful had its downsides. Any slight mistake could be magnified. Small errors could easily be viewed as major mistakes.
Lu Qingyi nodded, noting the advice.
"So, the Liang and Jiang families will soon become in-laws. Why was this piece of good news not shared earlier?"
Lu Zhizhou’s gaze rested on Liang Jiaojiao’s face. She spoke gently, her expression tender.
Liang Jiaojiao’s face changed slightly. She bit her lip and looked to Jiang Yu for help.
"Miss Lu, there’s been a misunderstanding. There’s nothing between me and Liang Jiaojiao. She’s not my girlfriend, and I’m still single."
Jiang Yu said with a smile, his eyes landing on Lu Qingyi.
There were no ties between him and Liang Jiaojiao and, despite her plea for help, he wouldn’t lie for her, especially not in a situation like this.
Otherwise, this misunderstanding would continue indefinitely.
"You..."
Liang Jiaojiao stomped her foot in frustration. Feeling embarrassed and panicking, she turned to leave.
"You were quite fired up just now. So why do you want to leave all of a sudden?"
Lu Qingyi effortlessly grabbed Liang Jiaojiao’s shoulder. She sneered.
Lu Qingyi had never been the one to tolerate being bullied. There was no way she would let Liang Jiaojiao off so easily.
After Liang Jiaojiao had slandered her, if she could still leave without any consequence, Lu Qingyi would no longer be herself.
"I... I didn’t do it deliberately."
Liang Jiaojiao spoke softly. Her shoulder was throbbing where Lu Qingyi had caught her.
"Not deliberately?"
Lu Qingyi retorted questioningly.
"Now that you have someone backing you up, you’re getting cocky."
With her lips tightly clenched, Liang Jiaojiao spoke word by word.
Lu Qingyi sneered.
The bystanders just watched the spectacle, too afraid of the influential figures to say anything.
"Liang Jiaojiao, my sister Qingyi is one who prefers peace and doesn’t like to cause trouble."
Lu Zhizhou said, looking at Liang Jiaojiao, implying that it was Liang Jiaojiao who had started the trouble.
"Since you said I have someone to back me up, why shouldn’t I take the opportunity to intimidate others?"
Lu Qingyi laughed coldly. Placing her hand on the chair, she exuded a chilly aura.
Right as her words fell, a ’crack’ echoed in the silence. Liang Jiaojiao’s arm had dislocated.
Clasping her shoulder, she looked at Lu Qingyi in disbelief. Lu Qingyi’s strength had been enormous that it had dislocated her arm with just one move.
"Sorry, but I won’t be covering the medical expenses."
Lu Qingyi pulled a wet wipe from her pocket and meticulously wiped her fingers. She bowed her head with a cold smile on her lips, her voice equally icy.
"You..."
Liang Jiaojiao could only feel the intense pain in her arm, causing her to break into a cold sweat.
"Oh, it was just a misunderstanding, let’s not ruin the mood over it."
"Young girls are naturally a bit jealous. No need to go overboard."
"If you want to argue, argue. Just don’t resort to violence."
"The youth nowadays are so quick to fight."
"..."
When one person spoke up, others followed, most blaming Lu Qingyi for the scene.
"Shut up."
Lu Qingyi raised her eyes, giving everyone present a cold glare.
Annoying.
"Don’t get angry. It could affect your unborn baby."
Lu Zhizhou patted Lu Qingyi’s shoulder and gently prompted her.
She had always known that Lu Qingyi had a temper, just hadn’t seen it in display. Now that she’d seen an angry Lu Qingyi, she found it quite intimidating.
"My uncle organised a banquet, not a judgmental gathering."
Looking at those who had spoken, Lu Zhizhou talked gently yet assertively.
The crowd gradually dispersed, leaving due to the high social standing of the Lu family. Despite their curiosity, they dared not say more.
Jiang Yu stayed silent on the side, his gaze shifting between the scene and Lu Qingyi.
He had thought Lu Qingyi was an aloof beauty, yet she was also quite... ruthless, as her action of dislocating Liang Jiaojiao’s arm had shown.
