weng ke laughed out loud. “i’m old now, i can’t take it anymore. i can’t even lift a kitchen knife.’

the two of them chatted for two minutes and quickly became familiar with each other. weng ke had a good impression of lu zhen and took the initiative to ask, “originally, the production team wanted me to be the butler, but later on, they said that someone was willing to be the butler. what are you thinking? why are you willing to be the butler?”

lu zhen smiled. “young people should train more. do you want to go upstairs first? there are already five people. we’re still short of the last person.”

“i’ll wait with you. it’s quite cold in this hall. why aren’t you wearing a scarf, child? come, put my scarf on.”

weng ke did not wait for lu zhen to decline. she took off her scarf and put it on her.

lu zhen felt warm in her heart as she touched the scarf that was still warm from weng ke’s body. she had been in this circle for so many years, but she had rarely felt such sincere care and love.

there was also a discussion on weng ke sending a scarf to lu zhen—

“wow, teacher weng ke is here too. she’s my childhood memory. what a surprise. i really hope i can see her again.”

“i can tell that teacher weng ke really likes lu zhen. her eyes have always revealed love and admiration.”

“our zhenzhen is sensible and obedient. she’s also very polite to her elders. it’s not surprising that teacher weng likes her.”

“i think lu zhen is just pretending. she can only deceive an old man like teacher weng. in any case, i don’t believe it…”

“previous poster, is your real life too much of a failure? why is your heart so dark that you don’t like anyone? if you’re sick, can you go to a psychiatrist?”

seeing that the comments were about to start arguing again, the sixth guest of the production team suddenly appeared in front of the camera.

the tall jin zhan pushed open the door of the office building and walked in. when he saw lu zhen, his eyes revealed a trace of surprise. he immediately shouted, “zhenzhen!”

lu zhen almost frowned. if she hadn’t known in advance that jin zhan would come to this show, her expression would have darkened. this bastard still dared to call her “zhenzhen”? was she very familiar with him? how hypocritical.

however, after ye xuan reminded her, lu zhen was already mentally prepared.

facing jin zhan’s enthusiasm, lu zhen only revealed a polite smile. “hello, brother-in-law.”

brother-in-law?

the smile on jin zhan’s face disappeared. he had long known that lu zhen would come to this show, so he had thought of many ways to get himself to join this variety show. the production team director probably felt that his relationship with lu zhen was very interesting, so he forcefully added him.

jin zhan’s most important goal in participating in this show was to salvage his image. ever since the photo of him entering the hotel with lu rou was exposed, he had been scolded by the netizens as a scumbag. they said that he was in a relationship with the eldest sister and had cheated on her with the younger sister.

his reputation online was almost as bad as lu rou’s.

jin zhan was determined to use this variety show to clear his name. however, jin zhan did not expect that not only was lu zhen not surprised to see him, she was also very calm. she even reacted immediately and called him ‘brother-in-law’.

to hell with brother-in-law!

at this moment, jin zhan wished he could get rid of lu rou, that infamous woman, but lu zhen still emphasized this in front of all the audience in the live-stream.

jin zhan smiled awkwardly and gave lu zhen a careful smile. “zhenzhen, you’ve really misunderstood me. i know you’re angry with me, but you can’t frame me like this!”

lu zhen did not want to continue discussing this topic. she held weng ke’s hand and said calmly, “let’s talk about this later. let’s go upstairs first. the other guests are still waiting.”

weng ke usually did not go online and did not know about lu zhen and jin zhan. however, she could sense that their relationship did not seem to be good, so she took the initiative to say, “let’s go up first.”

the three of them went upstairs together. jin zhan followed behind lu zhen with a careful and nervous expression, as if lu zhen had indeed wronged him.

the viewers in the live stream were also confused.

“jin zhan is here too? heavens, there’s really a good show to watch.”

“didn’t he break up with lu zhen long ago? he even cheated on her with lu zhen’s sister. damn scumbag, i feel like vomiting when i see him.”

“but jin zhan seems to be very good to lu zhen. the way he looks at her is so gentle and affectionate. perhaps there’s a misunderstanding?” “i’m not sure. let’s see how the two of them get along..”
