Chapter 233: Chapter 233 What do you mean by that?!
Meanwhile, Mr. and Mrs. Lu were already sitting in the car on the way back with Xia Wenjin.
Lu Dagui glanced at the rearview mirror and slowly began to speak, “Jin, did you bring up the matter that you were supposed to mention to Xiao Mo?”
Xia Wenjin looked up to meet his gaze in the mirror and let out a faint snort, “I’m not even married off yet, and you’re already urging me to make demands of Xiao Mo. Are you trying to spoil this marriage deal?”
“…”
Lu Dagui’s face darkened at once.
Seeing this, Xia Wenjin’s mouth curled slightly and she continued, “I really want to ask, but don’t blame it on me if the marriage falls through. I don’t want to be made a scapegoat.”

“What do you mean by that?!” Lu Dagui instantly became enraged and glared back at Xia Wenjin.
Cao Mei quickly tried to smooth things over, “Master, Jin makes a valid point. There’s no emotional foundation between Xiao Mo and Jin; this could easily become problematic.”
“Ha! No emotional foundation? Does Zhaozhao have an emotional foundation with Song Sinian? Look at her position in the Song Family now!” Lu Dagui retorted, immediately comparing Lu Zhaozhao with Xia Wenjin.
At that, Cao Mei fell silent.
Lu Zhaozhao’s life was a fixed routine with hardly any chance to get in touch with Song Sinian.
If it weren’t for Song Sinian’s awful reputation, how could it have ever come to pass that the Lu Family was considered?
Just at the banquet earlier, it was obvious to anyone with eyes that Song Sinian treasured Lu Zhaozhao. Even Mr. Song, caught up in his affection, treated Lu Zhaozhao like gold.
If she were to bear Song Sinian a son or even half a child, where would that leave them?
Xia Wenjin snorted coldly, “The blame falls on you two with regard to Song Sinian. You knew the Song Family wanted the Lu Family’s daughter, yet you sent them an imposter instead.”
The implications of her words were very clear.
If she had been sent over in the first place, Lu Zhaozhao wouldn’t be in the picture at all.
Upon hearing this, Lu Dagui scoffed, “Lu Zhaozhao had the ability to make Song Sinian marry her at first sight—why didn’t you have that ability?”
He had also considered this possibility before.
But Xia Wenjin had tried several times to enter the Song Mansion, and Song Sinian had not only shown no interest in her but hadn’t even bothered to glance at her properly.
Initially, he even thought Song Sinian had poor taste, but after getting to know him better, he felt that Song Sinian’s choice had been faultless from the start.
Xia Wenjin clenched her fists, her gaze ice-cold, “Are you saying that if I could convince any man to marry me on first sight, that would be my skill?”
Lu Dagui didn’t understand her point, but after a glance at Xia Wenjin, he answered perfunctorily, “That would have to be a skilled and reputable man, though. What’s the use if you marry just any Tom, Dick, or Harry?”
“So you’re saying as long as the man has status, it’s fine, right?” Xia Wenjin’s expression was unchanged as she continued speaking to Lu Dagui.
Lu Dagui felt her gaze was a bit eerie but still nodded, “That’s the gist of it.”
“Fine.”
Xia Wenjin forced a particularly fake smile, her lips drawing back in feigned mirth.
If he put it that way, what was there for her to worry about?
She might not be able to wrestle away someone like Song Sinian, but Justin? Could she not compete for him?
The title of the Lu Family’s daughter still carried some weight, although lately, it had been increasingly difficult to get money from Mr. and Mrs. Lu.
She indeed needed to secure an exit strategy for herself.
Just like Lu Zhaozhao.
Even without the title of the Lu Family’s daughter, wasn’t she still clad in gold and silver now?
She could, so why couldn’t she?
Because of the last live broadcast, Song Keren’s brainless persona shifted everyone’s focus onto the gossip surrounding Lu Zhaozhao and Song Sinian.
Yin Zhuhai, who had previously clung to Lu Zhaozhao to hype their CP, was obviously forgotten by netizens.
Therefore, before the live broadcast started, Yin Zhuhai wanted to repeat his old tricks. While Lu Zhaozhao was in the dressing room, he took the initiative to seek her out.
He had his assistant send Xia Wenyan and Pei Huai out to see Lu Zhaozhao alone.
“Zhaozhao? Do you have a moment now?”
Holding the script in his hand, Yin Zhuhai walked straight in.
Seeing Lu Zhaozhao sitting on the sofa reading her script, he chuckled and nodded at her.
Lu Zhaozhao thought about how Song Sinian had gotten jealous over Yin Zhuhai before and felt a headache coming on.
How did this guy manage to stand in front of her so nonchalantly after sending her all those ambiguous messages?
Lu Zhaozhao awkwardly tugged at the corner of her mouth, “Senior Yin, what advice do you have?”
Yin Zhuhai sat on the sofa opposite Lu Zhaozhao with a wry smile, “Zhaozhao, it breaks my heart to hear you address me like that. Weren’t our previous collaborations quite good?”
He didn’t want to give up on Lu Zhaozhao, a “hot topic magnet.” When Xia Wenjin was around, everyone was focused on Lu Zhaozhao, and he could also hitch a ride on her popularity.
Even because Xia Wenyan kept pestering Lu Zhaozhao, their bickering managed to get him a lot of screen time.
But ever since Song Keren joined the live broadcasts, her sheer stupidity became the target of netizen’s arrows, causing everyone to start shipping Lu Zhaozhao’s real-life romance.
Those who shipped him with Lu Zhaozhao, the faux CP, became even fewer.
Some people even started anti-shipping them online, finding the hyping of their dynamics with a married woman to be awkward.
He had just stabilized the offers he was getting and needed to take on some more significant endorsements, which required more popularity.
So he had to reach out to Lu Zhaozhao.
Lu Zhaozhao tugged at the corner of her mouth, “Senior Yin, our relationship is purely professional. If you want to hype a CP, try doing it with someone else.”
Seeing this, Yin Zhuhai awkwardly tugged at the corner of his own mouth, “All this hype talk aside, can’t we simply have a good relationship?”
“No.”
Lu Zhaozhao cut him off decisively.
If Yin Zhuhai genuinely wanted to be friends without any ulterior motives, it wouldn’t have been a problem.
But that’s not what Yin Zhuhai had in mind at all.
If she were just an ordinary colleague like Du Miao’er, with a happy and mutual cooperation, it wouldn’t have been an issue to share resources.
But he insisted on taking an unusual path, wanting to hype a CP with her.
And trying to draw attention to himself when Song Sinian was around—that was a bit much.
Yin Zhuhai didn’t expect Lu Zhaozhao to be so unyielding, and his face suddenly looked a bit unsightly.
Yet, managing a smile, he continued, “Zhaozhao, we’re all colleagues; do you really have the heart to see me with no presence in the program?”
On hearing this, Lu Zhaozhao couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth, “Senior Yin, if you want a presence, shouldn’t you go out and earn it yourself? Instead of hyping a CP, isn’t gaining recognition for your character better?”
Du Miao’er might seem inconspicuous normally, but she often stood out in “Let’s Eat! Hut” due to her persona as an “Assist Master.”
Even Song Keren managed to earn her wave of popularity in the group with her clear stupidity, although… those who criticized her were more numerous.
But… being criticized is better than having no popularity at all…
