Even at high-end banquets, he would arrive last, make a brief appearance, and leave. Those who’ve seen him in person are very few.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let alone in person, even photos of him are rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is also why there was such a huge uproar when he initially opened a Weibo account.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone thought that with him opening a Weibo account, they’d often get to see his photos or updates, but that wasn’t the case at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for the Weibo post clarifying the rumors with Yan Weiyang, no one logged into that account again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now the follower count has grown to tens of millions, with everyone eagerly waiting for him to post another photo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he hasn’t, and it’s as if that Weibo account has been forgotten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, suddenly seeing him in person, the excitement is imaginable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a slow stir at the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, everyone’s attention was drawn to another person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow, who is the woman beside Director Lu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone turned their gaze to the woman beside Lu Hualiang, holding their breath once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a beautiful woman!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only beautiful on the outside but also in temperament, exuding a maturity that comes from deep within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tranquility and grace that comes after being polished by time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The royal blue evening dress had no adornments, yet she was like a serene orchid of the years, calm and composed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The charm and demeanor of this woman, among the many women present, could only be compared to Xia Weibao and Lu Huashan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But judging by age, she should be a bit older than Xia Weibao and Lu Huashan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is that woman? Ugh, why is she holding Director Lu’s arm...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unidentified voices of jealousy arose, and the scene was again filled with whispers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could she be Director Lu’s girlfriend? Wasn’t there a rumor that he has a girlfriend?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Probably not.

Look how much she resembles Lu Huashan...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd buzzed with speculation, quickly arriving at the unanimous conclusion that indeed, she’s Director Lu’s sister, Lu Hua...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait, Lu Hua what again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, Lu Hualiang is the eldest of the Lu Family, where would a sister come from!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lu Family currently only has Lu Hualiang, Lu Huashan, and Lu Huayong. This suddenly appearing sister, who on earth is this Lu Hua?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone looked at each other, unable to figure out Zhong Wanshu’s identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some people even started speculating she was an illegitimate daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for whether she could be Lu Hualiang’s mother, that possibility was immediately eliminated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Firstly, Zhong Wanshu is deceased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, the woman before them looks just over thirty, definitely not over forty. Lu Hualiang is already twenty-seven; there’s no way Zhong Wanshu had a child at under ten years old?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The uninformed continued to speculate, while the few who were in the know had their faces change dramatically!\u003C\u002Fp>",620,"2026-06-06T16:22:17.477Z",1,"novelbin.me","de8a294c44383897c2a92f673ae8d11b33aa9e349baa813430353e2609971eaa","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-1197","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-1195",1766,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fplagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-cover.jpg"]
