Chen Zhu watched Ren Wanxuan and suddenly spoke up, "Bai Lian was not cutting corners; she hadn't originally planned to play the zither."
Ren Wanxuan's smile froze; she looked up, incredulously at Chen Zhu.
Chen Zhu, however, did not look at her. "Bai Lian's program was originally a sword dance, Chen Wei asked me to go back and fetch the Longsword, but Wanxuan did not inform me of this. The Longsword went missing unexpectedly, which is why Bai Lian ended up playing the zither instead."
"You…" Ren Wanxuan pursed her lips.
She did not know why Chen Zhu, who had always stood by her side, was suddenly turning against her.
Chen Gang hadn't expected Chen Wei to be involved in this matter either, and his expression turned cold as well.
"Wanxuan!" Ren Qian rebuked loudly, looking at her, "You'll come with me to apologize to Bai Lian tomorrow."
Ren Wanxuan's mouth fell open.
At Ren Qian's side, the secretary-general discreetly shook his head at Ren Wanxuan.
