After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him - Chapter 72

Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Is there a possibility that you helped the wrong person?

Cao Mei’s face was twisted with anger.

Fang Zheng said he wanted reconciliation, but in reality, he was threatening them.

If they didn’t apologize now, he would immediately send out a lawyer’s letter, and they would be the ones to suffer.

Cao Mei gritted her teeth, pulled Xia Wenjin aside, and whispered, “Jin, be good and apologize first. Whatever she owes you, Mom will get it back for you!”

Xia Wenjin’s face was filled with disbelief.

The Lu Family was so wealthy, yet they were afraid of little Lu Zhaozhao.

Could it be because she was now Mrs. Song?

Xia Wenjin clenched her fists tightly. If that was the case, she would definitely take back that position!

She would make Lu Zhaozhao kneel and beg for her mercy!

She took a deep breath and said reluctantly to Lu Zhaozhao, “I’m sorry, I was wrong.”

Lu Zhaozhao’s eyebrows raised, “Hmm, I forgive you. In the future, try not to provoke others with that face of yours. No matter how thick your face is, it’s not meant for that, right?”

“…”

Xia Wenjin pursed her lips, unable to bear Lu Zhaozhao’s aggressive manner any longer, and ran out crying with her face covered.

Cao Mei glared fiercely at Lu Zhaozhao, but ultimately, she said nothing and chased after her daughter.

The principal had never expected the issue to be resolved just like that. The turnaround seemed almost fantastical.

Perhaps it was because he was getting older, but he couldn’t understand the dynamics of these young people at all.

He waved his hands, “Alright, since the matter is resolved, go back to class.”

Lu Zhaozhao naturally nodded and left with Fang Zheng.

Once they were out of the principal’s office, she approached him and asked, “Lawyer Fang, I wonder who your boss is…”

Fang Zheng chuckled lightly, “I was asked by Xia Wenqing; he said his sister was being bullied at school, and since he couldn’t leave his place, he sent me to help.”

Lu Zhaozhao was even more surprised to hear it was Xia Wenqing.

How did he know about her conflict with Xia Wenjin?

Noticing Lu Zhaozhao’s puzzled look, Fang Zheng paused before adding, “When Xia Wenjin transferred schools, Xia Wenyan was the emergency contact, so after the conflict arose, the principal called him.”

Hearing the name ‘Xia Wenyan,’ Lu Zhaozhao’s steps faltered, “Um… Lawyer Fang, is there a possibility that you might have helped the wrong person?”

Hearing Lu Zhaozhao’s words, Fang Zheng was clearly amused by them, “No, I’m quite sure the sister I’m supposed to help is you, as you are indeed the Xia Family’s real daughter.”

“…”

The real daughter?

Lu Zhaozhao bit her lip slightly, somewhat caring about what Xia Wenjin had said earlier.

Could an outsider really compare to a daughter raised for 20 years?

Although there were people like Cao Mei out there, the Xia couple didn’t seem like such people.

Seeing Lu Zhaozhao’s worried look, Fang Zheng couldn’t help but reassure her, “Your brothers really like you; sometimes, you could stand to be more confident in yourself.”

Lu Zhaozhao shrugged noncommittally, “Thank you, Lawyer Fang.”

“…”

Meanwhile, the furious Cao Mei and Xia Wenjin had already reached the parking lot.

Sitting in the car and watching Xia Wenjin crying “whimperingly,” Cao Mei’s eyebrows knotted deeply.

She was becoming increasingly angry because of Zhaozhao’s defiance just now.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz…”

Suddenly, the ringtone sounded inside the car.

Cao Mei glanced at the phone number and directly reached out to press the car’s call button.

The next second, Xiao Jinglan’s voice came through the car’s speaker, “Mrs. Lu, is Wenjin available this Friday?”

Cao Mei’s eyes suddenly brightened, and she quickly agreed, “Yes, yes, yes, Lady Xiao, what do you have in mind?”

Previously, when she had suggested to Xiao Jinglan that Wenjin should replace Zhaozhao, Xiao Jinglan had agreed, but her attitude was not very enthusiastic.

She didn’t expect such a quick response.

“Our family’s Old Master Song’s birthday was last weekend, but he couldn’t celebrate it because he was in the hospital, so this Friday we plan to have a make-up dinner at home. I’d like Wenjin to come early and make a good impression in front of Old Master Song.”

Xiao Jinglan briefly explained the situation.

Although the dinner was just a meal among the Song Family, previous guests in the house probably wouldn’t bother Old Master Song.

Moreover, with Sinian returning home for dinner, Old Master Song was in high spirits, and maybe this was an opportunity to earn a lot of goodwill.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Wenjin stopped crying when she heard this.

She raised her hand to wipe her face, looking excitedly at Cao Mei, who was in the driver’s seat, then listened as she continued to ask, “Does Old Master Song have any dietary restrictions or preferences? It would be good for Jin to be aware.”

Upon hearing Cao Mei’s eager response, Xiao Jinglan didn’t hold back, “As for preferences, Old Master Song likes girls who dress simply and look dignified. Regarding taboos, it’s best not to be picky with food and not to drink alcohol during the meal.”

While speaking, Cao Mei took notes, “Alright, I will let Jin know.”

“Good, then we’ll see you on Friday.”

After Xiao Jinglan hung up, a triumphant smile curled the corners of her mouth; having been with the Song Family for many years, she knew Old Master Song’s preferences quite well.

If she wanted Old Master Song to like someone, it was easy; to make him dislike someone, of course, was a matter of no difficulty.

Humph! This time, she would see how to push Zhaozhao out of the Song Family!

Around 10 am, it started to get windy.

The temperature, which had been somewhat hot, suddenly became much cooler.

But the temperature in the Song Mansion’s living room was frighteningly cold at this moment.

Because just then, both parties had simultaneously received the results of the handling of Zhaozhao’s school fight.

Old Master Song’s brows were tightly furrowed as he stared at Sinian and said word by word, “Zhaozhao is still being bullied at school, and you, as her husband, don’t manage this?”

Sinian shot Old Master Song a glance, his eyes and expression utterly still, “So this is your reason for having her followed?”

Previously, he had been worried about Zhaozhao’s safety and had hired bodyguards to protect her from a distance.

He hadn’t minded when he heard that Old Master Song was investigating Zhaozhao.

As long as Old Master Song did not provoke Zhaozhao, it was fine.

He hadn’t expected that just a few days later, not only had Old Master Song personally sought out Zhaozhao, but he had also had someone follow her.

This crossed his bottom line.

So Sinian had directly gone to the Song Mansion, wanting to have a proper talk with him about this.

Old Master Song, showing clear displeasure, replied, “Am I stalking? I am having someone protect her! I have only one beloved granddaughter-in-law; can’t I, an old man, protect her?”

Sinian’s dark pupils flickered slightly as he retorted firmly, “No, she is mine.”

Old Master Song’s lips twitched, unsure whether to be happy or to lose his temper…
