After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him - Chapter 13

Chapter 13: Chapter 13 For a salted fish, no amount of salt matters!

The person standing inside the balcony was clearly startled.

Especially when their gaze fell on Lu Zhaozhao’s pretty little face, their complexion involuntarily changed.

“President Song, seems like you’re in quite high spirits today?” Xiao Mo forced a smile, looking at Song Sinian in front of him.

He had just been in the banquet hall, intending to wait for the little beauty who had just been snubbed to go pick up the pieces.

But to his surprise, he had waited to no avail.

Annoyed, he had no choice but to come out and check on the situation, only to find the little beauty he thought would be snubbed nestled in Song Sinian’s arms.

What irritated him even more was that this little beauty’s lipstick was completely smudged, clearly having just been ravaged.

Her eyes were shimmering, and there were still traces of moisture on the tips of her eyelashes, making anyone who saw her unable to resist the urge to pinch her fair little face.

Song Sinian glanced coldly at Xiao Mo, his tone indifferent, “Move aside.”

Lu Zhaozhao’s foot injury was not too serious, but leaving it unattended could become a problem.

When she was cut by a dinner knife before, it took several days to heal; she was extremely delicate.

Her feet still needed to be treated as soon as possible.

Xiao Mo’s face suddenly darkened, he coldly stepped aside to clear the path from the balcony, but as Song Sinian walked out, he followed.

“President Song, leave this young lady to me, I think the other executives have matters to discuss with you…”

Song Sinian’s steps halted, and he stood in place.

Now, nearly everyone’s eyes in the banquet hall turned towards him.

“She is my wife, no need for your help,” Song Sinian said, his thin lips parting indifferently to release a few words.

“…”

“…”

“…”

Not to mention Xiao Mo, even the others present were stunned.

Song Sinian was married?

And to such a great beauty?!

Lu Zhaozhao nestled in Song Sinian’s embrace, her small feet peeking out and gently shaking; it was as if she suddenly remembered something, and stealthily tugged at Song Sinian’s clothes.

Seeing this, he instinctively looked down, only to hear Lu Zhaozhao whisper, “My shoes are still on the balcony. They are from the makeup salon; I need to return them.”

Song Sinian’s gaze flickered slightly, paused for a moment, but still ordered Zhao Xi, who was beside him, “Pick up the shoes on the balcony.”

“Yes, sir.”

Hearing Zhao Xi’s response, Song Sinian left the banquet hall without looking back.

Lu Zhaozhao had just thought about the sensation it would cause for Song Sinian to be seen carrying her from the balcony.

But she was not worried at all; in fact, she was somewhat looking forward to it.

After all, the news about her and Song Sinian would soon reach Xiao Jinglan; she wondered how it would feel to have the stage she painstakingly set being used for another’s performance.

No sooner had Song Sinian left the banquet hall than Xiao Mo’s call went through to Xiao Jinglan.

“When did Song Sinian get married?”

Xiao Jinglan just answered the call when she heard Xiao Mo’s voice, furious and uncontrollable, coming from the other end of the line.

She furrowed her brows slightly and replied offhandedly, “Just a few days ago, what’s wrong? Did you see her?”

Xiao Jinglan then remembered she had asked Xiao Mo to follow Song Sinian’s schedule.

It seemed he had also gone to the charity gala.

Xiao Mo’s brows almost knotted in frustration, “Who exactly is this woman? Where did she spring from?”

The more Xiao Jinglan heard, the stranger she found it, but she still followed up on Xiao Mo’s words, “Recently, the Lu Family was struggling with cash flow and wanted to marry into the Song Family to secure a contract, so they arranged for their daughter, Lu Zhaozhao, to have a blind date with Song Sinian. Who would have thought, on the day they met, Song Sinian married her on the spot.”

“…”

Xiao Mo gritted his teeth; even thinking about her pitiful little face made him want to marry her right then and there.

Xiao Jinglan, noticing the silence on the other end of the phone, couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows in curiosity, “What exactly happened? Did Lu Zhaozhao cause some trouble?”

She had laid the groundwork for so long, just to have Lu Zhaozhao embarrass herself in the Nanjing social circle, so she could “save” the poor girl in the guise of a kind elder.

Unexpectedly, the person on the other end of the phone chuckled lightly, “Trouble? It’s a pretty big mess indeed; now the entire Nanjing social circle knows that Song Sinian got married and even to a great beauty! His public image has improved significantly!”

Even through the phone, Xiao Jinglan could hear Xiao Mo’s grinding teeth.

Xiao Jinglan, who was in the middle of her skincare routine, suddenly sat bolt upright from the beauty chair, “What did you say?!”

She ripped off the facial mask from her face and waved for the people around her to leave.

After everyone had gone, Xiao Jinglan asked with a deep frown, “What exactly happened in Nanjing? I had prepared for everything…”

“Prepared for everything?” Xiao Mo scoffed, “What have you done?”

Xiao Jinglan paused for a moment, “I deliberately had someone take her phone and told her that Song Sinian was waiting for her in the banquet hall, of course, without Song Sinian knowing.”

A girl who had never been to Nanjing would definitely be lost without her phone, searching for Song Sinian.

Next, she would soon be led to a lounge for not having an invitation, and Xiao Jinglan had even arranged people to be there in advance!

After hearing Xiao Jinglan’s full explanation, Xiao Mo scratched his head in frustration, “You’ve arranged so much, but did you ever consider that she’d just sit quietly on a chair from the moment she entered, waiting for Song Sinian?”

“…”

Xiao Jinglan was at a loss for words.

Indeed, she had not considered that.

When she had seen Lu Zhaozhao at Song Sinian’s house, she thought she was too apathetic, so she deliberately had makeup artists overpraise Lu Zhaozhao.

She never expected that no amount of flattery would make a difference to a salted fish!

Xiao Jinglan rubbed her temples in frustration, “Ah, I overestimated Lu Zhaozhao too much; she’s unnaturally obedient.”

Xiao Mo narrowed his eyes and suddenly chuckled, “It’s good she is obedient. Once she sees Song Sinian’s true face, she’ll know who’s better for her!”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinglan’s face changed abruptly, “You’re not planning on making a move on Lu Zhaozhao, are you?”

Xiao Mo replied nonchalantly, “Making a move? She was supposed to be mine in the first place.”

Everything belonging to the Song Family would eventually be his, including Lu Zhaozhao.

Xiao Jinglan knew Xiao Mo’s character well; he would always find a way to get what he wanted.

Even if it was a woman who once fancied Song Sinian, he would snatch her away.

Let alone Lu Zhaozhao, who was now Song Sinian’s wife.

She sighed lightly, “Lu Zhaozhao has been spoiled by her family, she’s timid and lacks ambition; seducing her doesn’t seem realistic…”

If Lu Zhaozhao had even a hint of ambition, her plan wouldn’t have ended in such a dismal failure!

Xiao Mo clearly didn’t believe Xiao Jinglan’s words; his mind was entirely filled with the image of Lu Zhaozhao being held softly in Song Sinian’s arms, hardly in a mood to listen to anything else.
