After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him - Chapter 36

Chapter 36: Chapter 36 Is it related to this matter?

Xia Wenmo didn’t know why Xia Wenjue was touched by something and wanted to make Lu Zhaozhao’s matter public.

However, that wasn’t important. What mattered was that his precious little sister was coming back to the Xia Family.

“Okay, I got it. I’ll take care of things at home.”

“Mm.”

…

At noon, inside the hospital room.

Xia Wenjue arrived belatedly, his gaze swept over the people in the room before he entered.

“Lao Si is at the training base for trainees, and I guess his phone must have been confiscated, so he hasn’t come yet,” Xia Wenmo said slowly as he glanced at Xia Wenjue who had just walked in.

Normally, Mr. and Mrs. Xia, Wen Qingyu and Xia Nie, would often go out to paint and were hardly ever at home. The eldest, Xia Wenjue, and the second, Xia Wenqing, were both typical workaholics, the third was obsessed with creation and rarely made public appearances, and the youngest, Xia Wenyan, was busy being a trainee, with little time to come home.

Each of them had their own lives, but since Xia Wenmo was diagnosed with a brain tumor, apart from Xia Wenjin, other Xia Family members started focusing a portion of their attention on Xia Wenmo.

So, apart from him, no one else had the capability to gather the Xia Family members together.

“Elder brother, the third brother mentioned you asked him to call us all to the hospital. Is there something important you need to discuss?” Wen Qingyu looked nervously at Xia Wenjue, her hand tightly gripping Xia Nie’s sitting beside her.

Xia Wenmo, who had always been reluctant to seek medical treatment, was a source of great worry for his mother.

After much difficulty, they had finally heard that he was willing to have surgery, and it had not been many days since then when they were summoned to the hospital. Could it be that this brat wanted to go back on his word?

Xia Wenmo seemed to have realized what his mother was thinking and gently patted Wen Qingyu’s shoulder, saying, “Mom, rest assured, it has nothing to do with my illness.”

Relieved by these words, Wen Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief, but then Xia Wenjue’s next words made her heart clench once again.

“I’ve called everyone here today to talk about Xia Wenjin.”

As he spoke, he handed the documents in his hand to the people in front of him, then continued, “Xia Wenjin is not our child from the Xia Family; she is the child of the Lu Family. And the child now with the Lu Family is our real younger sister.”

“…”

“…”

“…”

Xia Nie, Wen Qingyu, and Xia Wenqing were all completely stunned, while Xia Wenmo, who already knew the truth, looked indifferent.

It took a while for Wen Qingyu to come to her senses. Her mouth opened, and after a long pause, she finally spoke, “Then… can those two children accept this fact? The idea of biological parents becoming foster parents is too much of a shock for children…”

Compared to acknowledging the truth, she was more worried about the two children being hurt.

One of them she had raised, the other was her own flesh and blood.

No matter which child, she hoped neither of them would be hurt.

As she said these words, her eyes and brows were filled with concern.

Xia Nie gently patted Wen Qingyu’s shoulder and said, “Let’s take it slowly, see how the two children are coping first. Wenjin and that child both need time to adjust.”

Upon hearing this, Xia Wenmo let one hand rest under his head, “Some people don’t need any time to adjust at all…”

His remark immediately drew Xia Wenqing’s attention.

Xia Wenqing narrowed his eyes, “Xia Wenjin’s disappearance these past few days, is it related to this?”

Xia Wenqing remembered that recently Xia Wenjue had dispatched all his people to find Xia Wenjin.

Xia Wenmo nodded, a rare smile appearing on his face, “You’re quick-witted as always, second brother.”

“…”

“`

“…”

“…”

The entire ward fell silent.

Xia Wenjue took a deep breath and pulled out his cell phone from his pocket, opening a video he had recorded at school earlier.

“This is the attitude of Xia Wenjin and Lu Zhaozhao.”

He lifted his hand to play the video, and instantly, Xia Wenjin’s shrill voice echoed throughout the ward.

“Lu Zhaozhao, what have you got to be proud of? Everything you eat, wear, and use is provided by our Lu Family. You’re nothing but a nominal fake, while I am the true heiress of the Lu Family!”

“You don’t think I’m joking with you, do you?”

“No, of course I believe what you’re saying, it’s just that to me, whether Mr. and Mrs. Lu are my biological parents is not important.”

…

The video ended after a while.

The sound stopped abruptly, and the atmosphere in the ward plunged into an eerie silence.

Suddenly, Xia Wenmo, who was sitting on the hospital bed, was the first to speak, “I thought Lao Si had a good relationship with her, that it’d be different. Turns out, I’m still better off; after all, ‘sickly’ sounds much better than ‘crazy’.”

A faint, particularly indifferent smile appeared on his lips.

Xia Wenjin always clashed with him, selfish and self-serving by nature. The family had kept the true situation from her, fearing that she, being young and naive, would be deceived by others.

They wanted her to live as an ordinary girl abroad.

But the Xia Family had never neglected her food, clothing, housing, and transportation.

Even the things she wanted were provided as much as possible.

Who would have thought that, as soon as she returned to the country and heard that her biological parents were wealthier, she’d play disappearing acts and go to the Lu Family to become the pampered lady?

Xia Wenmo was especially curious now – what would Xia Wenjin’s expression be if she knew that the Lu Family’s wealth was insignificant compared to that of the Xia Family?

What he could think of, everyone else could too.

But what everyone was more concerned about at the moment was another matter.

Lu Zhaozhao had gotten the family address from Xia Wenjin; when would she come to the Xia Family?

Wen Qingyu frowned slightly, looking uneasily at the others, murmuring, “Do you think Lu Zhaozhao would also disdain us for being poor and not acknowledge us as family?”

Their daughter, raised for so many years, abandoning them without a backward glance because she disdained their poverty – Wen Qingyu could not help but feel chilled.

Xia Wenjue let out a soft sigh and slowly said, “Mom, Zhaozhao wouldn’t do that, she’s a good girl.”

Although they hadn’t met many times, with the number of people he had encountered in the business world, he was confident in his judgement.

Xia Wenmo also nodded repeatedly, “Big brother is right. Once you meet Zhaozhao, you’ll know. She is both beautiful and adorable.”

As he spoke of Lu Zhaozhao, a hint of light that had been absent for a long time appeared in his eyes.

This surprised the other members of the Xia Family.

Seeing their reaction, Xia Wenjue cleared his throat and explained, “Ahem… The person who bought Lao San’s painting at the auction was Zhaozhao.”

“Zhaozhao even picked out a necklace for me~” Xia Wenmo eagerly took out the necklace around his neck and showed it off. “She said that stars represent the hope of life, like the stars in the night sky that guide the way.”

As he spoke, a gentle smile played at the corners of his eyes, nothing of the ‘sickly’ gloominess to be seen.
