“Alright, make sure to attend Su Wen’s book signing event tomorrow,” everyone chimed in eagerly. “We confirmed with Aunt Zhou that it’s happening in the courtyard on the first floor of the Province Commercial Building.”
“Yep, let’s wake up early and get there ahead of the crowd. We can head back to the Capital once it’s done.”
“I brought my camera too! I’m getting a photo with my idol tomorrow.”
“That’s awesome. I didn’t bring mine, but I’ll get some shots with my phone. If only I had known earlier, I would’ve brought my camera too.”
Excitement buzzed among them all as they looked forward to meeting the author of ‘The Scumbag’s Handbook’ tomorrow. Especially for the girls, this book was a hit as soon as it hit the shelves, and getting a copy in the Capital was like finding a needle in a haystack. The popularity was evident, and they couldn’t miss this chance.
“What did you say just now?” Lu Jianan’s expression shifted, his voice rising. “Say that again.”
“What?”
“The book signing event tomorrow? Whose signing event is it?”
Everyone looked puzzled. “Su Wen’s event, what’s wrong with the signing event for ‘The Scumbag’s Handbook’? Wait, Su Wen… Huh? Isn’t that the name of Professor Su’s eldest daughter?”
As the realization dawned on them, they exchanged incredulous glances. “It must be a coincidence, right? The author Su Wen is just a pen name, not her real name.”
“Exactly. No need to overthink it.”
“I knew it. It wouldn’t be the same person .”
“Professor Su’s daughter is still in high school. How could she be the author? Don’t be ridiculous. She’s not even close to being capable.”
“Let’s head back to our rooms.”
With that, they dispersed, leaving Lu Jianan alone at the door, troubled by his thoughts.
“What’s wrong?” Song Zishan poked her head out of the door. “Why are you still standing there?”
“It’s nothing,” Lu Jianan shook his head. “Are you going to Su Wen’s book signing event tomorrow?”
“Of course. I have to go. Everyone else will bring back signed copies, and I can’t be the only one without one.”
Lu Jianan wanted to dissuade her, but he couldn’t shake off the unsettling feeling. How could this be just a coincidence?
As Xu Xiaoxiao left with Ji Fang, He Changming, Shen Erkui, and Cao Meihua returned with their younger cousin Cao Jun. Zhou Yan arranged for someone to send them back, relieving him of the responsibility. The adults gathered in the living room after getting the kids ready for bed.
Cao Meihua had initially felt awkward about attending the banquet without Su Wen, but her sister’s encouragement changed her mind. Witnessing the spectacle of the evening dispelled all their worries, leaving them in high spirits.
Causing a scene at banquets was common in rural areas, it was nothing unusual. But today’s spectacle was indeed a first for her. Although it didn’t involve the overt tantrums seen in rural areas, it was more like invisible swordplay among themselves.
Cao Meihua saw it as a valuable lesson in elegant revenge and felt her trip hadn’t been in vain. She left feeling enlightened and empowered.
