Ruan Qi pointed at the snacks Tang Beibei gave her and said with an envious face, “These are all imported snacks. They are very expensive.”

“The protein bar you are holding is low in sugar. Although it tastes like milk, it’s artificially enriched with different protein sources. It’s very good post-workout. The only drawback is that it’s expensive.”

Tang Beibei looked at the English words on the packaging, to which she didn’t pay attention, let alone the price.

She asked Jiang Jingchen about the price of these snacks, and Jiang Jingchen said that they were all discounted when Song Zhou bought them. They were not expensive at all, less than a hundred yuan per pack.

“You must be mistaken. My husband’s butler bought these at a discount. They’re expiring soon so they cost only two or three yuan a bar.”

There was no reply.

Ruan Qi was puzzled. How did her butler always buy good discounted things?

Diamonds, branded clothes, and even snacks that only rich people could afford were all bought at discounts.

Tsk, why did this never happen to her?

“Tell me about your news. My husband told me to eat these snacks quickly before they expire and go to waste.”

Tang Beibei would never let anything go to waste.

Ruan Qi silently glanced at the dates on the packaging. Her husband must be afraid that she never ate.

These things had a shelf life of two to three years. How could it expire just days after production?

However, these snacks were expensive for good reasons. They were delicious and wouldn’t make people fat!

“I was talking about Lu Linlin. Lu Linlin actually slept with her biological father!”

“What? How is that possible?”

Tang Beibei was surprised. They were father and daughter. Wouldn’t that be incest?

“When I first heard this news, 1 didn’t believe it either, but photos don’t lie. Let me show you the article. A police officer received a call saying that there were prostitution-related activities at the hotel.”

“Some reporters followed them to the hotel. The room door wasn’t even closed, and they saw Lu Linlin and her father lying naked together. There were marks on their faces and bodies, and the room smelled bad.”

Tang Beibei felt that her worldview had been completely challenged.

“How could this happen?”

Ruan Qi asked her to continue reading. “When the two of them were questioned, Lu Huai said that he didn’t hire any prostitutes. However, he didn’t say that the woman was his biological daughter. He even got into a fight with the police and was almost arrested.”

“Lu Linlin said that she went to the hotel because she received a message from her dad about a surprise for her. She didn’t expect this to happen. She even wanted to die.”

“If you ask me, evil will get punished. It turns out that Linlin’s bad behavior is inherited. To have a father like that… Tsk, tsk, it’s terrifying!”

Tang Beibei also felt disgusted after reading the article. Lu Linlin, who was the protagonist of the story, should be in even more pain.

Lu Linlin had harmed Tang Beibei, which was unforgivable, but Tang Beibei still felt some sympathy for her.

But it was just sympathy.

“After what happened to Lu Linlin, I don’t think the engagement between Song Kai and Lu Linlin will go through.”

Ruan Qi looked at her strangely. “Beibei, do you care a lot about Senior Song Kai?”

Tang Beibei felt uncomfortable under her gaze. “Senior Song Kai is my friend. Besides, he takes good care of me, and we work under the same teacher. I just feel that he is a good person and Lu Linlin doesn’t deserve him.”

Ruan Qi sighed. This top student was very good at her studies, but her EQ wasn’t very high. She still didn’t get Song Kai’s admiration for her.

“Well, that’s not for you to worry about. Senior Song Kai isn’t stupid. How could he still get engaged to Lu Linlin after that had happened?”

However, Ruan Qi remembered what Fu Jin had said the other day. Song Kai was not a simple person. The engagement between him and Lu Linlin had nothing to do with love. It was a marriage of convenience.

To a certain extent, as long as the Lu family was still in power, Lu Linlin would still be useful as the young miss of the Lu family.

These prestigious families were really complicated!

At noon over lunch, Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi discussed whether they should go to the library to do their homework before going to the dance studio to practice.

She hadn’t trained for a few days, so she’d probably fallen behind.

Ruan Qi complained, “During the few days of training that you missed, we learned two new dances.”

“F*ck my life! I’m a jazz and hip hop student. Making me do classical dances is killing me.”

There was a lot of training lined up for them at the dance studio. Fu Jin had already told them that they must complete the syllabus of a dance major in university before they could take on commercial performances and earn more money. It was no joke.

Tang Beibei felt pressure as she heard this. Although she was trained in classical dance and jazz, it was also a challenge for her to learn hip hop and other genres.

It was just like how she picked up Chinese medicine after being taught Western medicine. Her way of thinking and treating patients both had to change.

However, their dance instructors said that they should major in dances that they were good at and treat the other genres as additional knowledge.

“Hey, have you heard about what happened to Lu Linlin? It’s too exciting!” “Yeah, I heard. 1 even found a video of Lu Linlin rolling off the bed naked. She’s usually so noble in school. I didn’t expect her to do such a disgusting thing!” “You guys still don’t know the latest, right? Song Kai is going to announce his engagement with Lu Linlin! It’s infuriating!”

Ruan Qi overheard the discussion of the students at the next table. She exchanged a look with Tang Beibei and looked at the student who spoke.

Ruan Qi couldn’t help but ask, “Hi, you’re not joking about Lu Linlin and Song Kai’s engagement, are you?”

The female student said, “Of course I’m not joking. Didn’t you see their press conference?”

The female classmate handed her phone to them. It was a live broadcast of the press conference.

Song Kai held Lu Linlin’s hand and told the reporters that they were celebrating his and Lu Linlin’s engagement. Her doting father had too much to drink.

He was also at the hotel but he left early due to some business. And then the reporters arrived. It wasn’t what everyone thought at all.

He told everyone with a serious expression that he loved Lu Linlin very much and that they were very happy together. Lu Linlin’s father also approved of their relationship, and Lu Linlin was pregnant with his child long ago.

Ruan Qi and Tang Beibei were shocked.

Lu Linlin was pregnant with Song Kai’s child?

But didn’t she go to the hospital for a severe allergic reaction?

The female students watching the live broadcast did not believe a word of it. “Which daughter sleeps with her father in the same bed naked?”

“This is obviously a PR spin. Song Kai must have been asked to clear the Lu family name. Sigh, poor Senior Song Kai. He’s so handsome, but he is soiled by that dirty Lu Linlin.”

“I heard from my friend yesterday that Lu Linlin had a severe allergic reaction due to crab roe. Can pregnant women eat crab roe? This is such an insult to our intelligence. Whether we believe it or not, Song Kai and the Lu family believed it. If they didn’t PR spin this, how will the second young master and Lu Linlin face the world?”

The few students at the next table argued noisily. Tang Beibei just ate her lunch.

Ruan Qi’s eyes twitched as she turned to look at Tang Beibei, impressed by her calmness.

“Beibei, you are still in the mood to eat? Don’t you care about Song Kai?”

Tang Beibei mumbled through her rice-stuffed mouth, “I do care about him, but Song Kai is an adult. He will bear the responsibility for what he said.”

“This is his choice. We can’t do anything about it. We shouldn’t worry about Song Kai and Linlin now. We should be worried about our training this afternoon.”

Ruan Qi felt that this top student never failed to hit the nail on the head. She was rendered speechless.

They were just bystanders watching the news about Song Kai and Lu Linlin, but the training in the afternoon would be hell for her!
