Capitulo 978: Chapter 966: Has Lu Zijin Been Charmed by Third Miss Qiao?
Zhan Nanjing also arrived early at the banquet. After exchanging a few pleasantries with sfamiliar friends,
she turned her head and saw Qiao Jing.
Seeing that Qiao Jing had cwith Lu Zijin, Zhan Nanjing was a bit surprised.
She took steps forward and greeted Qiao Jing and Lu Zijin.
Just after they exchanged greetings, someone called Lu Zijin over.
Lu Zijin responded and then looked at Qiao Jing, saying softly, “You guys chat first, I'll head over there for a bit,
I'll be back soon.”
“Okay.” Qiao Jing nodded.
Lu Zijin gave her another glance before turning around to walk away.
As soon as he left, Zhan Nanjing immediately sidled up to Qiao Jing, raised an eyebrow and said, “Xiao Jing, you
said before that you needed to help a friend over the weekend, turns out this friend is Lu Zijin!”
Qiao Jing made a sound of acknowledgment and truthfully said, “He said he was short of a female companion
and asked for my help.”
Zhan Nanjing caught a sniff of gossip and couldn't help but ask, “How did you two meet? | see Lu Zijin is very
gentle with you, even taking the tto let you know before he left, acting just like a top ten good boyfriend. Are
you two...?"”
At this point, Zhan Nanjing gave Qiao Jing a meaningful look.
Qiao Jing was somewhat helpless, just about to explain, when a sharp and sarcastic voice suddenly pierced
through.
“Someone like her, such an ugly freak, dreaming of coveting my brother-in-law? Utterly delusional, doesn’t know
what she’s doing!”
Qiao Jing turned her head and saw the two sisters from the Sun Family striding over.
The one who spoke was Sun Mingxin, who always considered Lu Zijin to be her brother-in-law.
Seeing the two sisters, Qiao Jing’s clear and distant brows suddenly showed a hint of impatience.
These two have repeatedly picked fights with her, reaching the slevel of annoyance as Yang Xiaoxiao!
Zhan Nanjing was surprised by Sun Mingxin’s words.
She looked at Sun Mingxin suspiciously, “Your brother-in-law? Since when was Lu Zijin with your sister? How
c| haven't heard about it?”
“They're not officially together yet, but soon enough. This Qiao Jing knows about my sister's relationship with Lu

Sun Mingxin spoke as if it were true, and with such indignation, that those unaware of the situation might truly
believe it.
Zhan Nanjing listened and turned to Qiao Jing asking, “Xiao Jing, what's going on here?”
In her view, Xiao Jing did not fit the description provided by Sun Mingxin at all.
She asked purely out of curiosity, wanting to know what had occurred.
“The sisters are just indulging in wishful thinking. Director Lu is gentle by nature and kind to everyone, and they
simply asshe has intentions, wishfully seeing him as boyfriend and brother-in-law.”
Qiao Jing spoke slowly, her tone mocking, “Thus, whenever any woman gets a bit closer to Director Lu, they
believe she’s trying to steal him away.”
Hearing this, Sun Mingzhu and Sun Mingxin’s faces changed.
Sun Mingxin glared viciously at Qiao Jing, “What nonsense are you saying? Dare to do but not admit it, huh? It's
clear you shamelessly stole my sister's man, and you're still trying to play innocent!”
The two sides each held their ground, but between Qiao Jing and the Sun sisters, Zhan Nanjing naturally sided
with Qiao Jing.
She looked at the Sun sisters with disdain and said, “I think you're the ones talking nonsense. | know Xiao Jing’s
character very well. As for you two, indulging in wishful thinking is one thing, but being so overbearing about it,
it'd be strange if someone with Lu Zijin’s personality liked women like you two!”
Being confronted by Zhan Nanjing, Sun Mingzhu and Sun Mingxin’s expressions instantly turned a few shades
uglier.
Due to Zhan Nanjing’s status, they dared not voice their anger, having to swallow their resentment forcefully.
In the distance, Lu Zijin was drinking and chatting with people, but during this time, his gaze involuntarily drifted
towards Qiao Jing.
Seeing the Sun sisters march over with a menacing demeanor, Lu Zijin immediately put down his drink and told
his friends, “Sorry, | have sthings to attend to, please excuse me.”
With those words, Lu Zijin strode towards Qiao Jing.
Sun Mingzhu had been watching Lu Zijin, and upon seeing him cover, she assumed he was coming for her,
instantly feeling delighted, eagerly moving to greet him with a smile.
Once close, Sun Mingzhu blocked Lu Zijin’s path, giggling, “Director Lu, what a coincidence, | was just wondering
why | hadn't seen you yet, and here you are. How about we go have a drink together?”
“Sorry, | don’t have time.”
Lu Zijin rejected her outright and without giving her any chance to speak further, bypassed her directly and
headed towards Qiao Jing.
Watching Lu Zijin walk towards Qiao Jing, Sun Mingzhu gritted her teeth, her eyes almost bursting with wrath.
Damn Qiao Lao San, to enchant Lu Zijin to this extent!
As Sun Mingzhu was fuming, Lu Zijin had already arrived in front of Qiao Jing.
“Sorry, | was caught up talking just now, so | got delayed.”
After explaining, Lu Zijin pointed towards the garden outside and suggested, “Why don’t we take a stroll over
there?”
Following his direction, Qiao Jing saw a quaint artificial fountain and a vibrant flowerbed. The surrounding
environment was also very beautiful.
More importantly, it looked very peaceful there!
Qiao Jing generally disliked noisy occasions, so she thought Lu Zijin’s suggestion was quite nice and agreed
promptly.
After saying a word to Zhan Nanjing, she walked together with Lu Zijin outside, chatting casually.
From afar, Lu Zijiao watched this

While Lu Zijiao spoke, Zhan Qipei couldn't help but look towards Lu Zijin and Qiao Jing.
His dark eyes were deep as water, and his face was stern, making it difficult for one to decipher his emotions at
the moment.
Just then, three little ones ran over with their tiny legs, dashing swiftly.
The twore little suits, little leather shoes, and sported cool hairdos, looking exactly like three mini-Zhan
Qipeis.
Seeing this, Lu Zijiao immediately spread his arms towards the three little ones, “Yubao, Zebao, Mo Bao, come
let uncle give you a hug.”
The three little ones didn’t have tfor him, only glanced at him, then ran straight to Qiao Jing.
Once in front of Qiao Jing, the little ones held hands, hugged legs, sticking to her cheerfully calling “Aunt Jing.”
