Chapter 359: Sowing Dissension
Zhang Lu made a conscious decision to sit beside Zhao Chengning and began inserting herself into everyone's conversation. Everyone present wasn't an idiot though. They could more or less guess what she was thinking, even if she didn't say anything. Shen Jingbin's expression was unreadable when they glanced over at her, so they decided to clam up and discontinue conversation with Zhang Lu. The atmosphere subsequently became a little awkward.
Zhang Lu, who probably had an inkling of what was happening, no longer tried to force herself into conversations with others and tried to strike up a conversation with Shen Jingbin instead.
"You're Miss Shen, I take it? You're from B City, right? Are you still studying?"
The chopsticks Shen Jingbin was using to pick up food from the dishes suddenly froze, and she turned to look at Zhang Lu. "I'm from A City."
Zhang Lu went, "Ohhhh." and continued. "So, you're from A City. That's quite a distance from B City. It's at least a few hours away. That being said, I'm curious as to how you and Zhao Chengning got to know one another. Did you really meet each other in-game, and further your relations.h.i.+p from there?"
The implied meaning was that Zhang Lu was calling the couple's online relations.h.i.+p into question. Zhao Chengning's face immediately darkened, and he coldly said, "Senior, please mind what you say."
Zhang Lu paused for a moment before sticking out her tongue in a cutesy manner. "Oh, you're so fierce today, Chengning… Hey, Miss Shen, now you've seen it for yourself, right? He's so fierce."
