It was better to be tactful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the First Lady of Huaxia, the former President of Huaxia, now the Secretary-General of the United Nations. How many politicians and high-ranking officials had wracked their brains and pulled every string they could to dine with her, to no avail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was rumored that the President of M country had to book a month in advance to have a meal with her, and in the end, it didn’t happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet here she was, making a special trip to Hongtu to dine with a minor celebrity like herself. Unusual indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao thought to herself that it wasn’t strange to suspect them; it was the Yan Family that had caused her downfall three years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knew what they were plotting now, three years later. Caution was the parent of safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Lingyi’s smile stiffened for a moment; she picked up the juice beside her and took a light sip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Concealing her awkwardness, she said, \"I was just passing by and decided to invite you for a meal, don’t overthink it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, she herself did not know what was going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since that day she had seen Xia Weibao at the Presidential Mansion, she had felt restless and unable to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strangely enough, just being around this girl made her feel incredibly calm, and her appetite would improve remarkably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Lingyi glanced at Xia Weibao sitting across from her. Even though this girl had stolen her daughter’s fiancé, she still liked her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was something about Xia Weibao that she was fond of, a certain feeling, though she couldn’t pinpoint what exactly it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her, something inside would soften. Perhaps it was because Xia Weibao reminded her so much of herself in her younger days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fearing Xia Weibao might be put off, Yan Lingyi did not dare to say more. After they finished the meal, she left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the drive back home, Xia Weibao’s mind was a complete mess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she arrived home, she saw Lu Huashan and Zhong Wanshu sitting in the living room watching TV.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao’s eyes lit up, \"Mom, Shanshan, when did you get here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huashan was the first to jump up and hug her, bouncing around with Xia Weibao in her arms, \"Baby, let me tell you, from today onwards, mom and I are moving to Lu Garden, so we can see each other every day. Are you excited, are you happy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao smiled, her eyes crescent-shaped with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Happy, of course! The more, the merrier; how could she not be thrilled?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Zhong Wanshu could walk now made her even happier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, hearing she had returned, Xiang Chu and Hepburn came in hugging and tussling with each other, each wanting to be the first to gain their master’s attention; neither yielding to the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao kicked each of them out, \"Take your fight outside, don’t disturb me flirting with the beauties here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Chu and Hepburn felt bitter inside, whining that their master didn’t love them anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two glared at each other, seething with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s all your fault, now master won’t pay attention to me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s your fault, Lion Tiger was so fond of me and now she won’t even look at me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s your fault!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s your fault!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without further ado, they resumed their fight, wreaking havoc on the European-style lawn in front of the villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xia Weibao stepped outside and saw this, she flew into a rage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, come on!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This lawn happens to be my favorite!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She kicked each of them into the Medicine Garden, \"Go weed and fertilize my herbs!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",689,"2026-06-06T16:22:11.764Z",1,"novelbin.me","59356b272ea128437b05d4d7c3cd206ccb83a92b5fa54a494d4cf8c6f9f5b177","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-810","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-808",1766,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fplagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-cover.jpg"]
