Chapter 234: Chapter 234 Are You Still Listening?!
Yin Zhuhai saw that Lu Zhaozhao was impervious to persuasion and felt it inappropriate to say more.
He couldn’t afford to fall out with her just yet.
The people backing her were not ones he could afford to provoke.
No matter if it was Pei Huai, Xia Wenyan, or Song Sinian.
He slowly stood up and nodded at her, “I will consider Zhaozhao’s suggestions carefully. Please excuse me for now.”
“…”
Lu Zhaozhao watched him leave without a care.
In her previous life, she hardly remembered the name Yin Zhuhai. She wondered if in this lifetime he could retain his own identity.
What Lu Zhaozhao didn’t know was that right after Yin Zhuhai left the lounge, he threw the script he was holding in a corridor not far away.
Even due to the conversation with Lu Zhaozhao, he furiously kicked the railing of the corridor several times.
There weren’t usually many people here, so he wasn’t worried about anyone witnessing his tantrum.
Of course, that was usually the case.
Song Keren lightly coughed, “Cough cough…”
The sound of coughing echoed instantly in the empty corridor, making Yin Zhuhai stiffen all over.
He hadn’t expected someone to be in the corridor at that time, but when Song Keren appeared, the tense expression on Yin Zhuhai’s face disappeared.
Naturally noticing the change in his demeanor, Song Keren frowned and asked discontentedly, “What’s with that expression? Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell Lu Zhaozhao about your behavior?”
Yin Zhuhai chuckled lightly, “That would matter if you two were actually close.”
To Lu Zhaozhao, even a random staffer would be more credible than Song Keren.
So he wasn’t worried.
Hearing his words, Song Keren nearly laughed out of exasperation.
Rolling her eyes, she then said, “Yin Zhuhai, since you know I’m not on good terms with Lu Zhaozhao, let me tell you one of her weaknesses. Whether you use it or not is up to you.”
At these words, Yin Zhuhai was visibly cautious.
Xia Wenjin had manipulated him when scheming against Lu Zhaozhao before.
But thanks to his cleverness, he had turned a crisis into an opportunity.
If the information Song Keren shared was true, he could utilize it as well.
Yin Zhuhai thought it over and felt much more relieved.
He raised an eyebrow and looked at Song Keren, suppressing the emotion in his eyes, “Why do you want to tell me Lu Zhaozhao’s weakness, when you already know it yourself? Why don’t you take her down personally?”
Song Keren’s chin lifted slightly, “Why should I get involved personally? I’m already the wife of a regional vice president at XJ Group. I wouldn’t want such a trivial matter to affect my important marriage matters.”
Indeed, she had wanted to see Lu Zhaozhao’s downfall, but only before she became the wife of the regional vice president of XJ Group.
She had originally returned to the country for Song Sinian.
It was unexpected that he married Lu Zhaozhao; she thought that by stepping over Lu Zhaozhao, she could become the mistress of the Song family.
Sadly, she never succeeded, and Lu Zhaozhao’s position in the Song Family became even more solid.
She had indeed intended to use this incident to destroy Lu Zhaozhao, but unexpectedly, due to Xiao Mo and Xia Wenjin’s involvement, Justin suddenly proposed to her.
Then none of those things mattered anymore.
She still had to successfully marry Justin; whether or not Lu Zhaozhao was taken down seemed less important to her.
But if someone else wanted to deal with Lu Zhaozhao, she didn’t mind handing over the opportunity.
Song Keren’s gaze measured Yin Zhuhai up and down.
She had just planned to find Lu Zhaozhao and brag about the diamond ring Justin had bought her, but just as she reached the door of the lounge, she heard Yin Zhuhai’s voice.
Once their conversation was over, she secretly followed Yin Zhuhai, not expecting to stumble upon an unexpected discovery.
She knew it—Yin Zhuhai was no good!
Yin Zhuhai saw the flickering emotions in her eyes and his cheek twitched, “Okay, tell me, what is Lu Zhaozhao’s weakness?”
She…” Song Keren had just started speaking when she seemed to remember something, “I can’t just give it to you for free; you have to agree to my other conditions.”
…
Yin Zhuhai blinked, visually fixed on Song Keren. Before she could speak again, he decisively turned and made to leave immediately.
Song Keren panicked, “Hey! Are you going to listen or not?!”
Yin Zhuhai shrugged his shoulders, “I don’t even know if your information is true or false, and yet I should agree to your conditions? You must be joking; I’m not stupid.”
Song Keren’s brows instantly furrowed, “Fine, fine, I’ll just tell you so you don’t have to do anything for me.”
She sighed lightly, looking at Yin Zhuhai with dissatisfaction.
Truly a man like a fox, so cunning!
Yet, his face remained bored, while deep down he was already thrilled.
Song Keren wasn’t as difficult to deal with as Xia Wenjin, and she didn’t seem very smart either.
He had just been pretending earlier and hadn’t expected her to fall for it so easily.
“Alright, hurry up and tell me, I still have to check the script,” Yin Zhuhai urged.
Song Keren was almost furious, but remembering she could get back at Lu Zhaozhao, she suppressed her irritation and spoke, “Lu Zhaozhao can’t drink alcohol, but I don’t know exactly why.”
“Is she allergic to alcohol?” Yin Zhuhai raised his eyebrows.
Giving her something with alcohol would mean risking her life, right?
That’s illegal!
Song Keren rolled her eyes, “How could that be? Lu Zhaozhao has drunk before. When my brother was in Nanjing, he even saw her getting carried away by Song Sinian after drinking. If it were an alcohol allergy, she would have gone to the hospital by now.”
The event in Nanjing involving Lu Zhaozhao was indeed not a lie, but the intel had been inadvertently shared with her by Xiao Jinglan.
When they had seen Song Sinian not letting Lu Zhaozhao drink, they wondered if she might be allergic to alcohol, but they quickly ruled it out.
Because Lu Zhaozhao had drunk alcohol at that banquet in Nanjing… so it couldn’t be an alcohol allergy.
Song Keren continued, “But I really don’t know if she goes crazy after drinking or something else happens. If you’re curious, you could try it.”
After saying this, Song Keren left.
Yin Zhuhai watched Song Keren’s retreating figure, his brow slowly furrowing.
The things she just mentioned must be true. If Lu Zhaozhao was allergic to alcohol, and something happened, she couldn’t escape responsibility.
Moreover, he had just recorded the conversation between the two of them.
If something really happened, he would release the recording.
Yin Zhuhai thought this as the corners of his mouth unwittingly curled up.
Lu Zhaozhao, let me see what you’re really like after drinking…
Soon, the live broadcast restarted.

The director had learned from the previous mishap, and this time made a cautious internal arrangement while grouping.
So, the guests were quickly divided into three groups as per the director’s plan.
Lu Zhaozhao and Du Miao’er were chopping wood at home, Yin Zhuhai and Song Keren were picking vegetables, and Pei Huai and Xia Wenyan were in the kitchen preparing the meals.
