Chapter 1172: Chapter 1172: Sorry, I’m Married
Luo Qingchen had some understanding of Lu Xingzhi. Although she was a public figure, she didn’t like to be in the spotlight.
It seems like a contradiction, yet it’s not.
"I find it hard to refuse. I’m just a public figure at best, and I haven’t really contributed much to my alma mater. Even in terms of admission rates, Jing University isn’t lacking. Every year, countless people want to get admitted."
Lu Xingzhi feels like she hasn’t done enough, so if there’s anything related to the school that she can handle, she’ll still come.
Luo Qingchen was about to say something when a woman interrupted him.
"Luo Qingchen."
Luo Qingchen looked at the newcomer, squinting slightly. He wasn’t familiar with this woman, or rather, he didn’t know her.
"I’m from the Literature Department, my name is Chen Yulu." Chen Yulu was a bit surprised to see Luo Qingchen at the school and felt excited and thrilled.
Then, Chen Yulu added, "We were in the same year. I was also invited by the school today."
"Oh!" Luo Qingchen nodded politely, without any intention of engaging further.
He has become milder now compared to his university days, and wouldn’t embarrass someone outright.
However, Chen Yulu didn’t hold back, looking shy as she said, "It’s kind of embarrassing to say. I’ve just written a few books, one of which has been adapted into film and television. It’s not much of an achievement. Being invited by the school, I feel quite embarrassed."
Lu Xingzhi had no intention of continuing their small talk and mouthed to Luo Qingchen, "I’m leaving first."
But just as she took a step forward,
Chen Yulu spoke first, "Is this classmate here to ask Qingchen for her phone number? Luo Qingchen, your charm remains as strong as ever. There’s always some girl trying to chat you up with various reasons and excuses."
Lu Xingzhi: "..."
Does this count as being caught in the crossfire?
"Sorry, I’m married." After Lu Xingzhi said this, she left immediately.
Chen Yulu, of course, knew who Lu Xingzhi was, but she also despised her.
Back when she was still in university, she knew Lu Xingzhi.
As soon as she arrived, she was voted as the campus queen.
In her eyes, it was nothing more than a joke.
More importantly, Luo Qingchen saw her differently.
She had seen Luo Qingchen have dinner with Lu Xingzhi, with such gentle eyes that she had never seen before.
Because she liked Luo Qingchen, she could entirely sense that Luo Qingchen liked Lu Xingzhi.
That’s why she deliberately said those things just now.
To make Lu Xingzhi embarrassed.
In her books, there was always an annoying female side character related to Lu Xingzhi.
Either her name had Lu, Xing, or Zhi. These characters.
Some even directly used Little Zhi Liao.
There was also a character who played the piano, but in the end, her hand was broken, and her face was disfigured.
Or she had a tear mole at the corner of her eye.
In short, the whole thing was centered around Lu Xingzhi.
Lu Xingzhi really didn’t know she provoked such hatred.
Luo Qingchen no longer had any romantic feelings for Lu Xingzhi, but hearing Chen Yulu’s words was disgusting enough.
Originally, he could still treat her politely, but now, he wouldn’t say a word more.
Speaking of which, Chen Yulu.
In fact, her books weren’t that best-selling.
The adaptation into visual media was because her dad owned an entertainment company. Not a large one; it was just a web series at best.
It didn’t require much budget at all.
But others didn’t know that!
