Lu Zhen was silent for a few seconds before saying slowly, “That’s not something I need to know, Mr. Song.”

In other words, if he couldn’t do it, he should try. He didn’t have to tell her that he couldn’t.

Song Jia was stunned. He realized that perhaps he had been wrong about Lu Zhen in the past. This woman was completely different from what he had imagined.

After Lu Zhen finished the lemonade, her body moved forward slightly, closing the distance between her and Song Jia. Such a move could give the other party a certain amount of pressure and increase her intimidation.

“Mr. Song, let’s stop here for today. If you think you can meet my requirements, I’m sure we’ll meet again soon.”

When Lu Zhen spoke, it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that she was like a superstar. After saying this, she gave Song Jia a flirtatious smile, as if she was giving him the carrot and stick approach.

Then, Lu Zhen said nothing more and left.

Looking at Lu Zhen’s back, Song Jia realized that even after Lu Zhen left, his gaze still followed her uncontrollably.

This was too dangerous. Song Jia took a deep breath and suppressed the strange feeling in his heart. However, he now believed that Lu Zhen was indeed a worthy investment. Not only did she have beauty and acting skills, but more importantly, she could capture one’s heart. That was very scary.

Lu Zhen left the café. When Sun Xiao saw her coming out, she immediately went up to her and asked with a smile, “Sister Zhenzhen, what did Mr. Song say? Does Jia Le really want to poach you?”

Lu Zhen smiled mysteriously. “It was hard to say before, but now, I guess Song Jia remembers my name.”

“Sister Zhenzhen, you’re too humble. You’re already a household name in our country. How can he not know your name? If you ask me, it’s a good thing that you can change companies. I’ve wanted to persuade you in the past, but I was afraid that you would misunderstand, so I didn’t dare to say it.”

After all, Lu Zhen and Lu He were father and daughter. Although Sun Xiao felt that staying in Lu He’s company wouldn’t do Lu Zhen any good, if she said that she wanted Lu Zhen to leave, it would inevitably seem like she was driving a rift in their relationship.

“I didn’t understand some things before.” Lu Zhen’s gaze was deep, not at all like that of a young woman barely twenty. “But now, I understand that not everyone has the right to be called family.”

The sky was suddenly filled with dark clouds, as if it was about to rain. Lu Zhen and Sun Xiao immediately prepared to return to the hotel.

However, on the way back, Lu Zhen suddenly saw a familiar figure.

A girl in a white T-shirt and ripped jeans was waiting anxiously by the side of the road. The girl had a guitar strapped to her back and looked very fresh.

Wasn’t she Li Ya?

After Lu Zhen’s accident in her previous life, she gradually faded out of the entertainment industry. However, she still paid attention to the entertainment industry. She heard that a singing talent show suddenly became popular that year. A singer-songwriter from a small town, Li Ya, became popular all over the country with two popular original songs. The judges called her a genius singer and said that she was a new star with a promising future in the music industry.

Lu Zhen didn’t know much about what had happened after her death, but she assumed that Li Ya had done well in the music industry. After all, it was rare to see an outstanding singer-songwriter these days. It was only a matter of time before she became famous.

Lu Zhen had not expected to run into Li Ya today.

The current Li Ya had yet to participate in that singing competition program. There wasn’t even her wikipedia page on the Internet. She had probably just graduated from college.

Lu Zhen told the driver to stop, and the black Toyota immediately braked at the curb. The window rolled down, and Lu Zhen’s beautiful face appeared in front of Li Ya. She looked at the girl in front of her and smiled faintly. “Hi, want a ride?”

Li Ya had just come out of the bar. At the moment, she wondered if she was dreaming.

Wasn’t the person greeting her Lu Zhen? Even though she wasn’t a fan of Lu Zhen, she had seen a television show she had starred in as a child. There was no way she could mistake her face.

But why would Lu Zhen greet her? If someone else suddenly stopped the car to chat with her, she would probably think that they were human traffickers, but the person in front of her was Lu Zhen!

“Miss—Miss Lu Zhen,” Li Ya stuttered, taking two uneasy steps back. “Why are you—”
