Chapter 275: It Turns Out to Be an Acquaintance

Chapter 275

"Okay, go ahead and tell your friend. We can arrange to meet and have a proper chat."

"Okay! I’ll tell her tomorrow. No, I’ll call her house right now and tell her. She’s already asked me several times, she’s really anxious!"

After saying that, Lu Xinyue got up and left Shen Nian’s room, rushing off to make the call.

"That girl..."

Watching Lu Xinyue’s frantic state, Shen Nian smiled and shook her head helplessly.

Lu Xinyue was very efficient. A few moments later, she came running back.

"Sister-in-law, I’ve already arranged it with her. Is tomorrow okay?"

"Yes, that’s fine. I don’t have anything planned for tomorrow anyway."

’Setting it for tomorrow... It seems the other party is a little anxious too!’

"Great! Then tomorrow, I’ll go with you, Sister-in-law."

The next day was a weekend, so Lu Xinyue didn’t have school. Obsessed with the "big business" Shen Nian had mentioned, she was practically rushing Shen Nian out the door from the moment she woke up. This earned her frequent glares from Sun Yufeng.

’My daughter-in-law just got back yesterday,’ she thought. ’And this little rascal is already trying to drag her sister-in-law out of the house. What is she up to?!’

But Sun Yufeng didn’t get an explanation from either of them, only a single sentence from Lu Xinyue.

"Mom, Sister-in-law and I are heading out! We’ll be back later."

And before she even had a chance to ask, Lu Xinyue had already grabbed Shen Nian and dashed off.

"That girl... I’ll have to wait for her brother to get back and teach her a lesson!"

"Sister-in-law, let me introduce you. This is my good friend, Zhuo Jiayin. Jiayin, this is my sister-in-law, Shen Nian."

Lu Xinyue launched into the introductions as soon as they arrived at the meeting spot and saw her friend.

Seeing Zhuo Jiayin sitting across from her, Shen Nian smiled. ’So, it’s a familiar face!’

"Hello, Mrs. Lu. I’m Zhuo Jiayin. You can just call me Jiayin."

"Hello, Jiayin. I’m not much older than you two, so feel free to call me by my name or just ’sister.’ And I never got to thank you for your help last time!"

The moment she saw Zhuo Jiayin, Shen Nian had recognized her. This was the girl Lu Xinyue had called over during the incident with Qin Xueling—the one who spoke up for her and helped expose Qin Xueling’s true colors.

Shen Nian had actually wanted to thank her afterward, but Zhuo Jiayin had left quickly, and with so much else going on at the time, the matter was dropped.

She never expected to suddenly run into her again. Sometimes, it really is a small world!

Zhuo Jiayin’s eyes lit up when she heard Shen Nian’s words.

"I can’t believe you still remember me, Sister Nian! Back then, when Xinyue told me about that Qin Xueling, I was so disgusted. How can someone so awful exist around here? Since I knew about it, of course I was willing to lend a hand. But really, I didn’t do much."

"What you did was already a huge help to me!"

After all, in a situation like that, if those words had come from Shen Nian or someone close to her, they wouldn’t have been nearly as convincing.

But since the words came from Zhuo Jiayin, someone with no real connection to Shen Nian, people naturally didn’t find them questionable.

"Alright, alright, you two can stop with the thank-yous. Jiayin, I only gave my sister-in-law a rough idea. You’ll have to discuss the specifics with her yourself."

Shen Nian turned to Zhuo Jiayin as well. She also wanted to hear what Zhuo Jiayin had in mind and see if she was truly someone worth partnering with.
