Chapter 171: We*re Not Good Friends

Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Xiaowan briefly told Lu Yingxin about how she had found Dabao and Erbao, who were separated from Huo Zheng at rhe amusement park.

“How lucky,” Lu Yingxin said. Other people would not be able to tell if she was talking about how lucky Dabao and Erbao were to be found by Lin Xiaowan or how lucky Lin Xiaowan was to have met Huo Zheng.

Lu Yingxin asked again, “Then how many years have you been dating President Huo? Have you not considered marriage yet?”

Lin Xiaowan did some mental calculations, excluding her previous life. She said, “It’s been more than two years. As for getting married, there’s no hurry.”

Since they had gotten engaged, Huo Zheng did not seem to be in a hurry to get married. Since Lin Xiaowan wanted to keep things small, apart from some good friends and business partners, not many people knew they were engaged. After all, there was no announcement to the media. As such, Lu Yingxin was also unaware of the engagement. In her mind, she was gloating, thinking that Huo Zheng had no intention of marrying Lin Xiaowan.

Outwardly, Lu Yingxin frowned, seemingly worried for Lin Xiaowan. She asked, “The Huo family is a wealthy family after all. Are there many rules to marry into the family?”

Lin Xiaowan shook her head. “No, it’s not like that. Previously, my sister-in-law told me that the Huo family doesn’t have any rules regarding that. They don’t care about these things, especially in regards to relationships.”

Lin Xiaowan did not mention the twists and turns last year regarding Song Zhiyi.

Lu Yingxin asked a few more questions about Lin Xiaowans relationship with Huo Zheng, and she felt even more confident the more she listened to Lin Xiaowan.

At this moment, Gu Yuwu appeared. She walked over, saying, “After 1 was done with my work, I waited for you in my lounge for a while. 1 thought you got lost. As it turns out, you haven’t even left the original place. Why are you sitting on the ground and chatting? Don’t you feel cold?”

Lin Xiaowan moved her butt aside a little and gestured as she said, “Lu Yingxin put her jacket on rhe ground.”

Then, she told Gu Yuwu about how her hem was caught in the wheel and that Lu Yingxin helped her for a very long time but still failed to remove it.

Gu Yuwu had no choice but to interact with Lu Yingxin due to work, but she could not help but dislike Lu Yingxin. After listening to Lin Xiaowan, she glanced at Lu Yingxin. Then, she squatted down and asked, “It’s still not out? Let me take a look.”

Gu Yuwu was very efficient. She tugged at it a few times. Seeing that it could not be removed, she immediately called someone in charge of the props to bring a pair of scissors over.

“Scissors? Are you going to cur it off?” Lin Xiaowan asked.

“Yes. Otherwise, 1 don’t know how long we’ll have to stay here,” Gu Yuwu said. She knew that Lin Xiaowan was worried about damaging the costume so she explained, “It s fine. We have many costumes like this. Moreover, this kind of small damage is within expectations.”

The milk tea was sent to the entrance, and a staff member brought them in.

T hinking that Lu Yingxin not only helped her for so long but even treated her to milk tea, Lin Xiaowan went to the lounge to get her bag before bringing her phone out to exchange contact information with Lu Yingxin.

Lu Yingxin noticed that the bag that Lin Xiaowan casually placed at the side was from a famous foreign brand. She had seen that bag featured in a magazine, and she knew the variation of Lin Xiaowan s bag was not even available in the country. Many people could not buy it even if they had the money.

Lu Yingxin was extremely envious. If she were in a relationship with Huo Zheng, she might even be able to buy a limited edition bag, let alone this bag. After all, Huo Zheng was from the Huo family. There were very few things he could nor buy.

Lin Xiaowan brought Lu Yingxin’s jacket back. Two days later, after washing it, she took the initiative and called Lu Yingxin, asking when Lu Yingxin would be free or when Lu Yingxin would be at home so she could send the jacket over.

Since Lu Yingxin did not live in Xilin Imperial Garden, she found an excuse and said she was not around. Then, she turned things around and asked when Lin Xiaowan would be at home, saying that she would come and pick the jacket up.

Lin Xiaowan felt bad when she heard this. “No, this isn’t appropriate. I should send it to you instead. There’s no need for you to come personally.”

Lu Yingxin could not wait to go to Lin Xiaowan s house so how could she care about these things? She said, “There’s nothing inappropriate about it. If you treat me as a friend, you don’t have to be so polite.”

Lu Yingxin calculated the time carefully and said, “I still have something to do now. How about this? I ll come at 5 to get rhe jacket. If you’re free, I’ll bring my cat over to play with yours as well!”

It was close to dinner time at 5 PM. In Lu Yingxin’s opinion, if she went at this time, with Lin Xiaowan’s personality, Lin Xiaowan would definitely ask her to stay for dinner. If she stayed for dinner, she would definitely be able to see HuO Zheng.

As expected, upon hearing these words, Lin Xiaowan said, “In that case, you should stay for dinner. Don’t worry, I ll still treat you to a meal next time. This meal doesn’t count!”

“Then I won’t stand on ceremony with you,” Lu Yingxin said.

Lin Xiaowan asked a few questions about Lu Yingxin’s food preferences before ending the call.

Subsequently, Lin Xiaowan made her way to the kitchen from the living room. She made a simple note about Lu Yingxin’s food preferences.

Upon hearing the commotion, Aunt Wu came over. She asked curiously, “Do we have guests coming for dinner?”

“It’s Lu Yingxin. Aunt Wu, do you still remember her? She visited me before. She’s the one who brought a cat with her,” Lin Xiaowan said.

Aunt Wu was slightly surprised. “I remember. It’s really hard to forget her. How did the two of you become good friends in such a short time?”

“We’re not good friends. She helped me a little when we were on set. Due to some circumstances, her jacket got dirty because of me. She was supposed to come over to pick up her jacket, but she wanted to bring her cat over to play as well. Since she’s coming at 5,1 asked her to stay for dinner.”

“I see,” Aunt Wu said and did not say anything else.

Lin Xiaowan realized that the people around her, whether it was Gu Yuwu, Huo Zheng, or Aunt Wu, did not seem to like Lu Yingxin. She was a little curious as to the reason why. She could not help but ask, “Aunt Wu, you don’t seem to like Lu Yingxin much. Why?”

Aunt Wu found it difficult to answer this question. She frowned for a long time before she said, “It’s not that I don’t like her. In any case, I’m old. Perhaps old people are more particular about affinity. For some reason, 1 just don’t find her pleasing to the eye. I can’t explain it.”

Lin Xiaowan nodded. Although she was not prejudiced against Lu Yingxin like before and did not even mind having a meal with the latter, she still could not get close to Lu Yingxin. Perhaps their magnetic field repelled each other or their auras did not match..
