After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him - Chapter 54

Chapter 54: Chapter 54: How Much Longer Can You Be Proud!

As long as Lu Zhaozhao remains a daughter of the Lu Family, her status, her man will never belong to her. How could Xia Wenjin be content with this?

Cao Mei sighed lightly and patted Xia Wenjin’s back, “Your father is going to bid for a mining vein soon, and he needs the support of the Song Family, so we can’t touch her right now.”

Although she didn’t know how that shameless wretch had sweet-talked Song Sinian, she did admit the girl still had her uses.

“But I can do it too!” Xia Wenjin blurted out without thinking, “And wasn’t that marriage arrangement originally mine?”

Cao Mei’s eyes widened in shock, disbelief painted on her face, “Silly child, what nonsense are you talking about? Someone like Song Sinian, I would never want my precious daughter to marry him!”

Hearing Cao Mei’s words, Xia Wenjin looked incredulous. Song Sinian was clearly so handsome, kind, and rich!

Cao Mei, seeing that Xia Wenjin was unhappy, hurriedly explained, “Your father has been in the business world for so many years, he has heard plenty about the Song Family. It’s said that he’s ruthless in his actions, leaving no room for others, with a perverse nature and devoid of humanity.”

What was even more important was that they had heard Song Sinian had problems with his brain, a genuine monster.

How could she wish for her precious daughter to marry such a person?

Xia Wenjin immediately refuted Cao Mei’s words, “I saw him at a lecture today, and he is nothing like what you’ve described! You must have been deceived!”

She then recounted her encounter with Song Sinian at the lecture to Cao Mei in full detail.

Cao Mei then fell silent.

Could it really be that they had been deceived?

What benefit could there be for someone spreading such news?

Suddenly, as if a thought had struck her, Cao Mei’s eyes narrowed.

If this matter had anything to do with Xiao Jinglan, then everything would make sense.

She might have not expected, with all these rumors, that someone would still marry Song Sinian.

This also made Cao Mei understand why Lu Zhaozhao, such an unremarkable woman, was so favored by Sinian’s side.

Because no woman ever got close to him, that must be why he treated Lu Zhaozhao so well.

“Mom~~~” Xia Wenjin, seeing that Cao Mei remained silent, shook her arm to get her attention.

Cao Mei came back to her senses and looked at Xia Wenjin with a smile in her eyes, “Jin, do you really like Song Sinian that much?”

Xia Wenjin, no longer playing coy, nodded immediately, “Yes! I like him!”

Such a handsome, considerate, and wealthy man, how many women wouldn’t like him?

Seeing Xia Wenjin’s ecstatic expression when mentioning Song Sinian, Cao Mei couldn’t help but sigh lightly, “Since you like him so much, then there’s no helping it. Mom will definitely help you snatch Song Sinian back.”

Xia Wenjin’s eyelids drooped slightly in response, “Mom, can’t we just make Lu Zhaozhao initiate a divorce with Song Sinian? Wasn’t this marriage supposed to be between the Lu Family and the Song Family in the first place?”

If Lu Zhaozhao isn’t from the Lu Family anymore, then the marriage is even less hers.

Cao Mei also felt somewhat frustrated; if she had known earlier that everything she’d heard about Sinian was just a rumor, she would have postponed things no matter what.

Now that Lu Zhaozhao had married Song Sinian and was so favored, she definitely wouldn’t give up the status of Mrs. Song easily.

She had originally planned to install a camera in her bedroom after she had made contact with Sinian, to capture some leverage to control her.

But to her complete surprise, the brazen girl went ahead and got married, leaving her unprepared.

“Lu Zhaozhao would never initiate a divorce unless she had something incriminating hanging over her head,” Cao Mei said through gritted teeth.

Xia Wenjin suddenly remembered the conversation she had overheard between Xiao Jinglan and the Lu Family.

She vaguely felt that Cao Mei must have some way to get a grip on Lu Zhaozhao.

Lifting her eyes, she cautiously asked, “Mom, can’t we think of something?”

Cao Mei hesitated for a moment but still spoke her mind, “There’s a way, but the premise is we have to get Lu Zhaozhao to stay with us for a few days.”

Cao Mei did not tell Xia Wenjin what to do next.

How could she let her precious daughter know about such dirty matters?

All her precious daughter needed was to have the best things!

When Xia Wenjin heard this, her eyes suddenly brightened, “So, as long as we get Lu Zhaozhao to come back and stay a few days, that will be enough?”

Cao Mei nodded.

“I’ll take care of it!” Xia Wenjin took Cao Mei’s hand and said, “I also want to help share the burden with mom.”

Cao Mei’s face beamed with satisfaction, “Good, good, good, truly my obedient daughter, always caring for your mother.”

“Of course, you’re my mom~”

Xia Wenjin leaned into Cao Mei’s embrace with a smile plastered across her face, yet she couldn’t help feeling anticipation rising within her.

Lu Zhaozhao, let’s see how long you can stay smug!

The next day at Yuqing University.

Because Song Sinian had participated in a lecture at the school the previous day, the rumors about Lu Zhaozhao marrying for money fell apart on their own.

The school’s forum instead filled with many of Lu Zhaozhao’s beauty fans.

Everything related to her was filled with adoration and praise for her beauty.

Her popularity at school reached unprecedented heights.

She would even receive gifts from fans who would approach her directly on the street.

Lu Zhaozhao felt somewhat unaccustomed, sighing helplessly as she looked at the fresh flowers and dolls she received.

In her previous life, she followed the words of Xiao Jinglan and Cao Mei, always acting obedient and hiding her sharp edges–it was incredibly stifling.

Song Sinian’s appearance yesterday was one of the few highlights for her.

This life, thanks to the blessings of Mr. Song from their family, she no longer had to constrain herself.

Once the Lu Family collapsed, her target would be Xiao Jinglan. She planned to thoroughly pull her down from the Song Family!

As she thought about this, her way was blocked by someone.

Lu Zhaozhao looked up and saw Xia Wenjin standing in front of her.

Just seeing her, Lu Zhaozhao’s good mood decreased by half.

She decided to ignore Xia Wenjin and tried to sidestep her to leave.

Unexpectedly, Xia Wenjin grabbed at her sleeve, “Zhaozhao, let’s make up!”

Her abrupt statement immediately made Lu Zhaozhao’s eyebrows shoot up in alert.

She instinctively shook off the gripping hand and looked coldly at Xia Wenjin, “What tricks are you trying to play now?”

She did not understand Xia Wenjin’s character very well, but she definitely was not the type to recognize her faults and change, let alone to admit them proactively.

Xia Wenjin, holding the hand that Lu Zhaozhao had shaken off, looked at her with a face full of grievance, “Zhaozhao, I didn’t mean to play any tricks. I was just upset before because I felt you took my place, so that’s why I got angry with you. But mom already explained everything to me, so I want to get along with you.”

“…”

Ha! Xia Wenjin really knows how to come up with a variety of schemes!

Even searching for excuses, shouldn’t she at least find something that sounds reasonable?

Did the Lu Family not have the slightest clue about Cao Mei’s attitude toward her?

Did she actually expect Xia Wenjin to speak fondly of her?
