Chapter 1191: Chapter 1191: Arguing because of Su Wen
Because of their friendship, there were some things she felt uneasy to say, yet her heart understood it all. Song Zishan was simply jealous of Su Wen, jealous that she was more beautiful, more popular, and that her books had better sales than hers.
She was also better at her career.
To others, this might seem normal, but for Song Zishan, it was unbearable.
“Okay, I know now.”
Lu Jianan took over the book and started reading, becoming so engrossed that she skipped lunch and read the book in one sitting. She sat still for a long time afterward, her emotions mixed.
She finally understood why Su Wen had so many devoted readers, she herself would fall in love with an author who could write such a book.
Sharp, spicy, humorous, and interesting, the viewpoints were fresh, and the examples and summaries were so essence-filled. It was as if she had pierced through a veil that had always covered people’s eyes, allowing them to see things clearly all at once.
It would bring a new understanding towards life, friends, colleagues, and relatives.
Take Song Zishan, for example, using the words from Su Wen’s book, she had a severe case of “princess syndrome” and a character that was much too biased. Moreover, Lu Jianan discovered that because of Su Wen’s emergence, Song Zishan was becoming increasingly biased.
She hoped she would recognize her own personality and correct it, otherwise, she was bound to do something she would regret in the future.
In the afternoon, a visitor came to the house.
It was Xu Junfeng.
He entered carrying fruit and received a warm welcome from Lu’s mother, who poured him hot water before letting the two speak privately.
“Why have you come?”
“I came to see how you were doing, to see if you were crying all alone.” Xu Junfeng looked around curiously, appearing to understand.
“I’m fine, why would I be crying?” Lu Jianan forced a laugh.
“You don’t know?” Xu Junfeng suddenly laughed, somewhat delighting in misfortune, “Hahaha… I thought I was the most miserable, but it turns out there’s someone even more miserable than me.”
“What’s miserable about you?” Lu Jianan grew more curious. She had been picked up from the train station by her big brother and taken straight home and hadn’t been out nor communicated with the outside world for a week, so naturally, she was unaware of any incidents.
“I was severely lectured by my family, and Big Brother even forbade me to be the public face for the Su family. These past days, wherever I went, people watched me, preventing me from going anywhere. Today, I barely managed to shake them off.”
Although Xu Junfeng complained, he didn’t seem upset and actually appeared to be in a good mood.
“Then what’s so miserable about me?”
“You’re much more miserable than me, I’m not miserable at all by comparison.” Xu Junfeng laughed again, “Hahaha… Really, though I’ve always been looking forward to seeing you and Song Zishan fall out, I didn’t expect it to blow up like this.”
Lu Jianan’s expression slowly changed, and she finally realized why her big brother had personally brought her home.
“How did it blow up between us?” she asked, her fingers trembling.
“How did it blow up between you, and you—the person involved—don’t know?” Xu Junfeng said, then realized something was off, and knowing Lu Jianan for so long, that she even secretly helped him find jobs.
From his interactions, he knew Lu Jianan to be easy-going and conscientious.
A person of such character, even if not getting along with others, would not escalate things greatly.
“Did you argue with Song Zishan?”
“Yes!”
“What about?”
Bringing up the reason for the fight made Lu Jianan somewhat embarrassed, “Because of Su Wen.”
“What? Hahaha… are you trying to kill me with laughter?” Xu Junfeng could not believe that Song Zishan and Lu Jianan, who had been friends for many years, had fallen out because of Su Wen,
