Chapter 1087: Chapter 1087: The Empress’s Backers Pile Up (Part 1) Frightened, she felt a chill in her heart and quickly lowered her head, moving to the other side. After all, Lu Huashan and Xia Weibao were far from here, and didn’t know anything had happened. Not to mention, they wouldn’t know it was her who spread the rumors. After all, Xia Weibao’s scandals are numerous and can be easily found online. Without evidence, who can say it was her who leaked them? Lu Huashan crossed her arms, thinking some people just have a death wish! ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩 She flashed a playful smile at Lan Yiliu, and amid Lan Yiliu’s confused gaze, she suddenly walked up to Old Chief Fang. Old Chief Fang started for a moment, “You are… Shanshan?” “It’s me, Grandfather Fang. I didn’t expect you to recognize me.” Lu Huashan smiled sweetly. When she came in earlier, only the butler had confirmed her identity, but Old Chief Fang hadn’t seen her yet. She had changed drastically; she didn’t expect to still be recognized. Old Chief Fang was a bit surprised, “Girls change a lot as they grow, you’ve turned into quite the beauty, you look a lot like your mother when she was young, otherwise I wouldn’t have recognized you.” He had heard long ago that Lu Huashan had recovered, but they never met. This sudden meeting startled him. Lu Huashan smiled slightly, hooking her arm through Xia Weibao’s, “Grandfather Fang, we’re leaving now.” “Where are you going? The birthday banquet hasn’t started yet.” Lu Huashan deliberately furrowed her brows in difficulty, “Grandfather Fang, although Baby and I very much want to celebrate your birthday, we’re not welcome here. Instead of being embarrassed by security escorting us out, it’s better to leave on our own.” After speaking, her mischievous eyes once again glanced at Lan Yiliu, thinking if you want to play, I’ll outplay you! Lan Yiliu, upon catching Lu Huashan’s gaze, was a bit puzzled about what she meant with those words! Suddenly realizing something, her face changed, feeling cold in her hands and feet. Please, let it not be what she’s thinking. Old Chief Fang was puzzled, then his face darkened, “What are you talking about, who dares not to welcome you, who dares to have security escort you out!” Lu Huashan instantly put on a pitiful act. “Grandfather Fang, wasn’t it you who said Baby and I are dirty celebrities who sell themselves for money, and called us actresses clinging to men to get in?” “Nonsense!” Old Chief Fang was instantly enraged, “When did I ever say such things!” How can this be true! Lu Huashan shrunk her shoulders as if frightened, feeling even more aggrieved, “But Miss Lan just said so, she also told us to leave prudently, or she would have security beat us out. I heard earlier that the Fang Family was going to ally with the Lan Family. I thought Brother Lin and Miss Lan’s marriage was already settled, and she is now the Fang Family’s young mistress, representing you, Grandfather Fang, to drive us away.” Fang Lilin was just observing. Given the presence of so many seniors, as a junior, he shouldn’t interfere. But hearing Lu Huashan’s words at this moment, he instinctively looked at Xia Weibao and then, unaffected by rank and seniority, coldly spoke up. “Shanshan, don’t talk nonsense. I am not familiar with Miss Lan. The marriage alliance is baseless!” Having said that, he looked nervously at Xia Weibao, afraid she’d misunderstand something. However, Xia Weibao was only staring at the three packets of spicy strips in her hand, seemingly indecisive about which package to start with, without giving him even a glance. This left him a bit disappointed. Old Chief Fang was also quite angry, but after all, he was an elder, and the Fang Family and Lan Family were somewhat acquainted, though not truly friendly, they were at least on minor terms. Causing a scene where no one can step down would be bad for everyone.
