Chapter 1188: Chapter 1188: Losing Temper Randomly
She had a premonition that Zishan would blow her top if she knew, so she wasn’t surprised today.
“What do you think it was then?” Song Zishan interrupted irritably, “I think you’re just siding with her. You claim it’s for my good, but actually, you’re just turning your elbow out. Have you been fair to me?”
“I…” Lu Jianan stared in astonishment, “Zishan, it’s not right for you to say that. How have I turned my elbow out? I understand your anger, but I can’t agree with you saying that about me.”
“Are you accusing me?” Song Zishan was both furious and incredulous, suddenly standing up from her seat and glaring at Lu Jianan, “Am I wrong? You are turning your elbow out, trying to please both sides. Humph! Others might not know what kind of person you are, but do you think I don’t know? You clung to my coattails at the beginning, acting like my lapdog. What now? Since you know I’m not on good terms with my cousin, you think I’m no longer of use to you, and since you can’t get close to my cousin, you’re looking for a new backer?”
Lu Jianan was shook to her core, her mind going blank, unable to believe she’d hear such humiliating words from Song Zishan’s mouth.
“I’m telling you, not everyone is as easy to talk to as I am. You can forget about becoming my sister-in-law!” Song Zishan grew angrier as she spoke, her temper erupting like a volcano and she fiercely let out all the frustrations she had been holding back.
“Why are you silent? You feel guilty, don’t you? Humph!”
The savage look on Song Zishan’s face made Lu Jianan feel alienated; she stepped back, feeling as if all her years of effort had been cast into the belly of a dog.
“Song Zishan, you’ve gone too far.” Lu Jianan held back with great effort, but at the same time, she didn’t forget to explain, “It’s true that my family can’t compare to the Song family, and my generation is not as good as Song Jinyan. But my family is not bad either, and I was treasured by my parents and brother, not needing to act like a lapdog for you, Song Zishan.”
Without turning back, she stormed out, and just as she pushed open the office door, she was met with a group of eavesdroppers outside.
The people outside were awkwardly embarrassed, but it was too late to hide now, and they could only stand there in a daze. Fortunately, Lu Jianan didn’t make an issue of it, wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, and rushed out. She left Ai Shang magazine to go back to the hotel, pack her luggage, and flew back to the Capital that same day.
Back in the office, Song Zishan watched as Lu Jianan left, ever more convinced that Lu Jianan had a change of heart and was no longer loyal to her. Otherwise, why would she run away after just a few harsh words? She must have been harboring these thoughts for a while, just waiting for an opportunity to turn her back on her.
Humph! How despicable of her, after she had been so good to Lu Jianan, and in the end, she was betrayed.
“What are you looking at? Keep staring and I’ll fire you all.” Song Zishan, full of anger, yelled without any goodwill.
The onlookers scattered like smoke, except for Chief Editor Xia, who came in with a grim face and an assistant, carrying a stack of documents. Chief Editor Xia had heard everything about the argument between Song Zishan and Lu Jianan, and her heart sank.
After all the effort she put into building up the magazine agency, having to sell it was already a huge blow to her. In the meantime, she had tried to find intermediaries to reconcile and help, but the final responses she received all told her to stop being stubborn.
Even a very influential person, upon learning that it was the Song family that wanted to buy her magazine agency, didn’t think twice before telling her not to court death.
