“Are you still good friends then?”

“It’s not her fault, Xiaoxiao is just too intimidating.”

Zhou Hengguang’s patience wore thin, the smarter a person is, the less patience they have for fools. “Ji Fang, arrange for someone to escort this fool back to the Zhou family immediately.”

“Third Big Brother?” Zhou Nini was horrified. “I don’t want to go back…” She pleaded, fearing a scolding. “Please, I know I was wrong. Don’t be angry.”

“I’m not angry,” Zhou Hengguang responded curtly, unwilling to dwell further. Zhou Nini’s indulgence by her aunt had made her heedless to counsel.

“Alright then!” Zhou Nini reluctantly stood and followed Ji Fang, regret gnawing at her. She couldn’t ignore her Third Big Brother’s anger. Though his temperament was odd, he wasn’t as unreasonable as Xu Xiaoxiao.

Big Brother must be angry because of Liang Shuzhen. Zhou Nini speculated. Thinking about her recent interactions with Liang Shuzhen, she realized that ever since they became friends, Liang Shuzhen had been dropping hints and making suggestive remarks.

“If it weren’t for Liang Shuzhen just now, how could I have spoken without thinking?” The more Zhou Nini thought about it, the more determined she became not to let this matter go unresolved.

In the hotel, Lu Jianan kept watch over the corridor. Relatives and friends from the Capital who had come to visit the Xu family were all accommodated here. Rooms on both the left and right sides were occupied by familiar faces.

Lu Jianan and Song Zishan noticed that none of the others followed them out together. They understood that while it was acceptable for Song Zishan to leave first, the others definitely couldn’t and wouldn’t leave first. Doing so would undoubtedly offend Xu Pei.

Song Zishan dared to bully Su Wen because of her father, Song Jiaming, but she didn’t dare to offend Xu Pei.

Recognizing this, despite feeling uneasy, Song Zishan restrained her anger. It was tolerable for others not to accompany her, but if they didn’t come to her room to greet her upon returning, she wouldn’t hesitate to show her displeasure.

As footsteps approached, Lu Jianan’s anticipation rose. “You are back. Do you think they’re coming back?” she asked.

“Definitely,” Song Zishan affirmed confidently. “We’re all smart. We won’t be foolish. I didn’t rise solely due to the Song family. Even if Su Wen has backers, she must prove herself.’

Song Zishan’s realization hit hard. She had mistakenly elevated Su Wen’s status, making her descent all the more apparent.

Lu Jianan sensed a shift in the room’s atmosphere. Her brief encounter with Su Wen had left her wary.

Shortly after, a knock came at the door.

“Tell them I am asleep,” Song Zishan directed. “We’ll talk tomorrow.” Song Zishan sat elegantly on the bed, raising her chin with a dignified air. ‘You’re right, Jianan. I shouldn’t lower myself. Not just anyone can see me whenever they want.’

As Lu Jianan opened the door, awkwardness hung in the air. Their visitors feigned formality, unaware of their discomfort.

“We’re back. Where’s Zishan?” they inquired.

“Zishan is asleep. We’re all exhausted and have to return to the Capital tomorrow. Get some rest,” Lu Jianan replied, concealing her amusement at the scene..
