The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 821 - 251: Zuo Yuqing Falls into the Pool (3)

Zuo Yuqing felt a bit flattered hearing this, stood up immediately, her face still adorned with that gentle, understated, perfectly composed smile. Without saying much, she simply agreed with one word, "Okay."

Lu Jingchen looked darkly at Lu Tianming and Zuo Yuqing heading towards the dining room, his expression was inscrutable, his thin lips pressed together, not saying a word.

Song Qiao, on the other hand, apart from being a bit surprised when she first saw Zuo Yuqing, showed no particular change in expression afterwards, as if Zuo Yuqing’s appearance had no impact on her.

Regarding her relationship with Lu Jingchen, she’s always maintained a carefree attitude. If Lu Jingchen truly wanted to divorce her, she wouldn’t have a problem with it, nor would she be heartbroken. She might feel sorrow for a long time, but she’s very aware of one truth.

Even if they’re no longer around, the world would keep spinning, so even without Lu Jingchen, she has to continue living well.

She has always kept a self-preserving attitude towards her feelings, so even if the two divorced, she could quickly detach herself from this relationship.

She never thought of entangling herself, whether together or apart from anyone.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so decisive when Gu Linyuan broke up with her back then.

Xu Qian was somewhat surprised by Zuo Yuqing’s appearance, but soon returned to normal, calling her son and Song Qiao over to eat, also greeting Zuo Yuqing a few times.

Obviously, Zuo Yuqing appearing at the Lu Family was arranged entirely by Lu Tianming alone, even his wife Xu Qian wasn’t informed.

If people still couldn’t figure out what Lu Tianming wanted, then they truly left their brains behind today.

Compared to Song Qiao, Lu Tianming clearly liked Zuo Yuqing more...

This, Song Qiao was well aware of.

So throughout dinner, she didn’t say a word, responding only occasionally when Xu Qian asked questions.

On the contrary, Zuo Yuqing spoke quite a lot, chatting with Lu Tianming now and then, then turning to ask Lu Jingchen questions.

Lu Jingchen couldn’t just ignore her, after all, they used to be together, and their relationship wasn’t bad, so he answered her questions one by one.

After dinner, Lu Tianming asked Lu Jingchen to join him in the study, saying there’s something to discuss. Lu Jingchen instructed Song Qiao to wait obediently here or wait in his room, then followed Lu Tianming upstairs.

Because of Zuo Yuqing’s presence, Song Qiao felt uncomfortable staying in the same space here.

After all, this woman had once slapped her; she feared she might not hold back and return the slap.

...

Compared to the intensely hot weather and scorching sun during the day, An City’s night is very cool, even standing by the swimming pool, one can feel the cool breeze blowing by.

"Miss Song."

Song Qiao was standing by the swimming pool, lost in thought, when suddenly Zuo Yuqing’s voice came from behind.

Turning around quickly, she saw Zuo Yuqing walking towards her, stepping lightly in high heels like a professional model walking the runway, looking at that face with sophisticated makeup and undeniable beauty, feeling for a moment that she wasn’t as beautiful as Zuo Yuqing.

But after thinking it over, how could she not be as beautiful?

After all, even without makeup, she possesses natural beauty, unlike Zuo Yuqing, who she wondered would still be as charming without makeup.

Pursing her lips, she lightly pressed her pink lips together as she faced the woman who had already walked up to her, indifferently uttering three words, "What’s up?"

With a smile on her face, Zuo Yuqing looked at her, her gestures emitting an indescribable elegance, speaking softly with a touch of a smile, "Nothing much, just wanted to chat with you."

Song Qiao inconspicuously furrowed her brows slightly, but directly shifted her gaze back to the shimmering water revealing the moon in the night sky, responding somewhat absentmindedly, smiling, "Oh, so that’s it. Then what does Miss Zuo want to talk about? Thinking about it, I find there doesn’t seem to be much for us to discuss."

She’s always been mindful when leaving home, and it’s impossible for her not to notice the subtle animosity Zuo Yuqing holds against her, though it can be concealed, it’s not completely hidden.
