The ball was in Qin Ying's court now. Su Xiaofei omitted the part that she and Lu Qingfeng were already married because she didn't want to be accused of bullying her by making her cry.
Still, she was already kind enough to make it clear to the other woman that Lu Qingfeng was already off limits. She could only hope that Qin Ying was smart enough not to oppose her this time.
Qin Ying pondered silently for a long time. She was aware of Su Xiaofei's reputation and knew that between them, Lu Qingfeng was inclined to believe whatever Su Xiaofei would tell him. She excused herself, leaving Su Xiaofei on her own.
No one dared to bother her after Qin Ying left, and Su Xiaofei decided to scroll through some entertainment news and the latest gossip on her phone while waiting for her husband's return. The trend in the entertainment industry changed rapidly and those who cannot keep up with it would eventually lose their shine and be replaced with the new ones.
Currently, Top Tier Entertainment had the largest film production in the country, and this was why Su Xiaofei couldn't easily shrug off President Ouyang's request for a possible collaboration with Bluemedia.
After them, the Mo family's Golden Star Entertainment had produced the most popular stars in the next three years. Su Xiaofei wanted to change that and snatch Mo Yuchen's thunder before he could get a hand on those celebrities.
It could be said that right now, those companies controlled the largest market share of the entertainment circle and Bluemedia was still falling behind. Su Xiaofei knew this and while Tang Liyan was steadily keeping up with her "Queen" status, Xiao Rufeng would need a few more years before she could reach that level.
"Do you mind if I join you here? It seems to me that I'm not the only one unwanted here." Lu Jinglin replied and sat next to Su Xiaofei even before the latter could respond to her question.
"How so?" Su Xiaofei asked, unbothered by the fact that Lu Jinglin had decided to accompany her tonight. It was better than being looked upon by others as if she was a piece of ornament to be admired or scrutinized. She could also see that the other members of the Lu family were shooting Lu Jinglin with a disapproving look.
"Let's just say that I'm being considered as the black sheep of the family. I ruined my father's plan to marry me off to some unknown bastard." Lu Jinglin laughed as if she couldn't be bothered by what others thought of her.
"And I can see that Qingfeng has done the same." At this, Lu Jinglin's voice lowered considerably, as if she was whispering a secret to Su Xiaofei. "Married you the first chance he got, didn't he?"
Su Xiaofei's eyes widened, but recovered from her shock immediately after.
"Don't worry. I won't spoil the fun. I like seeing my father annoyed. He would surely throw a massive fit if she knew that Qingfeng and you are already married. You see, he brought that woman to convince the Chairman to set an engagement between her and Qingfeng." Lu Jinglin chuckled, before taking a sip from her flute of champagne.
Su Xiaofei stared at this woman. Like the rest of the Lu family, her sharp features and high nose were distinct. Lu Jinglin also had a pair of dark eyes that if one had to stare at it for too long, it would make them uncomfortable, because all they would see was a void of nothingness in them.
"Are you doing this to spite your father?" She asked in response.
"You could say that." Lu Jinglin nodded. "Dad couldn't think of anything other than taking over the family business when it's already proven that he isn't capable of managing it. Qingfeng would do a better job than him. Do you know how ashamed I am as his daughter? I couldn't stand him at all." Lu Jinglin confessed.
