After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 168: Does He Simply Want to Act Spoiled with Her?

Chapter 168 -168: Does He Simply Want to Act Spoiled with Her?

“Dad, what happened?” Xia Wenjin just happened to hear Lu Dagui’s words as she descended the stairs.

She walked down with a puzzled face, just in time to see Lu Dagui frowning deeply and Cao Mei looking utterly tense.

Lu Dagui looked up at Xia Wenjin and quickly said, “Jin, what do you think of Justin?”

The last time, he had deliberately arranged for Xia Wenjin to meet Justin, hoping to give her a chance to get to know him.

Xia Wenjin pursed her lips slightly, “He’s pretty decent.”

He was a gentleman and generous with his spending; at least the first impression was favorable.

Even though he wasn’t as handsome as Song Sinian, at least he had eyes for her.

Cao Mei and Lu Dagui exchanged glances and then, reassured, patted Xia Wenjin’s shoulder, saying, “Jin, if you think Justin is decent, Mom and Dad will try their best to matchmake for you.”

XJ Corporation’s status abroad was comparable to the Song Group’s. If they could establish a connection with XJ Corporation’s high-level executives, they wouldn’t have to fear Song Sinian’s retaliation.

They could just move all business dealings abroad if need be.

Xia Wenjin pondered briefly and then nodded, “Then, let’s follow Mom and Dad’s wishes.”

With the title of Lu Family’s daughter, if she could add to it the title of CEO’s wife for a regional director of XJ Corporation, that seemed quite appealing…

In the evening, dusk beamed to settle.

Song Sinian returned to his villa early, and seeing Lu Zhaozhao, who almost entered the door at the same time, lifted his spirits considerably.

“Mr. Song, you came back early today.” Lu Zhaozhao blinked at Song Sinian and then ran over to hug him.

With her face lifted, she gazed up at him, her eyes smilingly curved.

Because she had caused a scene at the Lu Family’s banquet recently, journalists were hot on her trail, so as soon as school was out, Lu Zhaozhao rushed straight home.

With Song Sinian’s protection, those journalists didn’t dare to brazenly come to the Song Family residence to harass her.

Song Sinian raised his hand to gently pinch Lu Zhaozhao’s little face, “Let’s head home first.”

“Okay~”

The two entered the living room one after the other, and as soon as they sat down, Song Sinian took out the check that Lu Dagui had delivered that day.

Lu Zhaozhao was startled, “What is this?”

“Today, Lu Dagui brought this check to repay the principal and interest of the money he previously borrowed,” Song Sinian recounted in an unhurried tone, his gaze inadvertently scanning Lu Zhaozhao up and down.

He wasn’t sure if this was within Lu Zhaozhao’s plans, so he was somewhat cautious.

Lu Zhaozhao’s eyes suddenly widened, but she slowly curved her lips, “The Lu Family actually repaid the debt early. I was planning to have Zhao Xi push for it, but now there’s no need for the hassle.”

Lu Zhaozhao shook the check in her hand towards Song Sinian and said, “Mr. Song, cash this check as soon as possible, just in case they have regrets later.”

“Alright.” Song Sinian nodded gently and took the check from her hand.

The Lu Family was on the rise in the Shangjing Circle, especially after acquiring those two mine veins, making getting money almost effortless for him.

So the possibility of Lu Dagui regretting the transaction was almost nil, but if Lu Zhaozhao said so, there must be a reason.

Just like how she insisted on Lu Family securing those two popular mine veins back then…

Song Sinian’s fingers gently caressed the check, his eyes slowly dropping, “Zhaozhao, there’s a banquet this week… Do you want to attend? There will be a collaborative banquet between Song Group and XJ Corporation, and your cousin will be there too.”

“Justin?” Lu Zhaozhao’s eyebrows lifted slightly.

She remembered that the last time she saw Justin, he mentioned this banquet and even invited her to be his date.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhaozhao felt a wave of discomfort.

Song Sinian nodded, “Yes, as the regional vice president of XJ Corporation, of course, he’ll be attending.”

“…”

Song Sinian saw that Lu Zhaozhao didn’t speak, hesitated for a bit, and then said indifferently, “Shall we go take a look? There might be some unexpected surprises…”

Lu Zhaozhao tilted her head slightly, looking at Song Sinian, her eyebrows rising slightly in confusion.

Before, Song Sinian would never take the initiative to invite her to any social events, so what was this about now? Did he want her to be his date?

Or was he simply trying to act coy with her?

Wanting her to accompany him?

Whichever it was, she was quite willing to agree.

Lu Zhaozhao paused for a moment and then nodded, “Alright, then I’ll attend the banquet with Mr. Song, but this time, my evening dress must be more low-key.”

Standing next to Song Sinian, she was already a focal point.

She didn’t want to become the eye of the storm again.

Song Sinian’s faint voice rose slowly, “Ok, everything according to your preference.”

In addition to Justin, Song Keren and Xia Wenjin would both be attending the event.

Their goals were also perfectly aligned, which was to secure Justin and become his wife.

But neither party knew of each other’s intentions, so there was sure to be quite a spectacle at the banquet.

Song Sinian’s gaze slowly fell upon Lu Zhaozhao as his deep voice sounded again, “Zhaozhao, whom do you dislike more, Xia Wenjin or Song Keren?”

His sudden question caused Lu Zhaozhao’s eyebrows to involuntarily rise, seemingly not understanding why Song Sinian would ask such a question.

Gently brushing a strand of Lu Zhaozhao’s hair, Song Sinian explained at his own pace, “Whomever you dislike, I’ll keep them further away from you.”

Lu Zhaozhao suddenly realized, “I dislike them both!”

“…”

Hearing this, Song Sinian suddenly fell silent.

He had wanted to find out whom Lu Zhaozhao disliked more so he could plan with Xia Wenjue to have Justin marry that person. Then he would send Justin and his wife off to another country to get them out of sight.

But now that Lu Zhaozhao said she disliked them both… well, bigamy is illegal in our country, and it seems to be so in Justin’s country as well.

It looked like he would have to discuss with Xia Wenjue about finding a way for Justin to change his nationality…

The banquet was set for Friday evening.

To meet Justin as soon as possible, Song Keren came to the event venue especially early.

She had dressed up specially, after all, she was to be the future wife of the regional deputy CEO of XJ Group.

She couldn’t afford to be outdone at the banquet.

What Song Keren didn’t expect was that, not long after she arrived, she saw Xia Wenjin.

Her outfit was quite eye-catching, similar to how she had dressed for the Lu Family event before, which was all top designer custom pieces with jewelry to match.

Song Keren’s brows furrowed sharply, feeling somewhat displeased.

Although her dress was also a designer evening gown, it clearly paled in comparison to Xia Wenjin’s.

Having powerful and influential parents really did have its advantages.

If her mother was currently in charge of the Song Family, she wouldn’t be without some decent, valuable jewelry.

The jewelry she wore at her last welcoming party was all borrowed from designer brands.

As soon as Song Keren thought of the welcoming party, her brows furrowed even more deeply, but thinking that Xia Wenjin wasn’t much better off than her, she suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Song Keren walked leisurely towards Xia Wenjin, but before she could speak, she saw her heading straight for a man—
