Chapter 1190: Chapter 1190: Falling Out

“Fine! Then you do it yourself! I’m done serving you.” Chief Editor Xia slammed the documents right in front of Song Zishan and turned to leave.

Her assistant hurriedly followed her.

Song Zishan had never been so publicly humiliated, and Chief Editor Xia’s words felt like a tremendous insult, making her jump up in anger.

“Just leave, and I better not see you again. Don’t even think about working in this industry anymore, just go as far away as possible,” she finished, angrily pushing everything on the desk to the floor, wrecking the office completely.

From Lu Jianan earlier to now Chief Editor Xia, it seemed as if they had conspired to upset her.

Alright, if they were bold enough, they shouldn’t blame her for seeking revenge.

The people outside were so frightened they huddled like quails, hiding away.

It took almost half an hour before Song Zishan finally calmed down, then she sat in front of the phone and started making calls. First, she orchestrated a ban against Chief Editor Xia, ensuring she couldn’t make it in the industry. Next, she called the Capital; this call was simple, no favors needed.

All she had to do was complain to a few close friends about Lu Jianan’s betrayal. A few words were enough to ruin Lu Jianan’s reputation in the circle, to see if she still had the audacity to argue with her.

She clearly was her lackey, yet she wouldn’t admit it.

Ha! Out of their many years of friendship, she wouldn’t go too far. Lu Jianan might turn heartless, but Song Zishan wouldn’t do that.

As long as she made it impossible for her to survive in their circles, that was enough.

****

Though Song Zishan’s actions were just a few phone calls, their effect was significant. Being a member of the Song family, with its influential backing, helped. Even before Lu Jianan reached the Capital, the news was already spreading everywhere.

Upon her arrival by train, her big brother personally picked her up. Throughout the journey, his face was grim, and after dropping off his sister at home, he told her to take good care of their mother before leaving.

Lu Jianan had no idea what was happening?

What happened?

Was she being confined to her home?

But Lu Jianan, who could keep her thoughts to herself, even though she guessed that something had gone wrong, didn’t ask her mother since her big brother wasn’t home. She didn’t want her personal issues to upset her mother. Moreover, she suspected it was somehow related to Song Zishan.

Her mother had always disapproved of her friendship with Song Zishan; if she found out, she would definitely be unhappy.

Fortunately, Lu Jianan, having been busy with Fashion Passion magazine business, needed a break and simply decided to stay at home. With cold weather, she slept until she naturally woke up, ate, and then sat on the balcony to soak up the sun, passing time by reading books.

“Take a look at this one.” Lu’s mother threw a new book in front of Lu Jianan, “After you read it, you’ll understand what kind of people are around you. Take a cue from Su Wen, my idol, on how to make real friends. If you can become friends with Su Wen, I’d die laughing in my sleep.”

Lu’s mother was a devoted fan of Su Wen, having bought her books, the Su family posters, and magazines featuring Su Wen on the cover. She loved her even more after seeing her photos and even took time off to go to Su Wen’s last signing event in the Capital!

However, due to the chaos, the signing event was canceled, infuriating Lu’s mother. She and a group of matrons had already planned to go to the Province during their time off to support Su Wen.

Lu Jianan took one look and laughed.

It was Su Wen’s new book.

Song Zishan, because of this, had thrown quite a tantrum, breaking many things.
