After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 169: Utter Nonsense in All Seriousness
Chapter 169 -169: Utter Nonsense in All Seriousness
“Justin~”
Xia Wenjin’s tender voice rang out.
Song Keren couldn’t believe her eyes as she watched her running towards that man, her brow immediately furrowing.
“Keren?” Xiao Jinglan had just entered and came to Song Keren’s side only to see her staring blankly in place.
She raised her hand and patted Song Keren, and was about to say something when Song Keren angrily turned around, “Mom, look at Xia Wenjin!”
She said, pointing with her finger toward Justin, who was not far away standing together with Xia Wenjin.
Xiao Jinglan’s expression changed instantly, “Why is she with Justin? Did they arrange to meet up?”
Song Keren immediately denied her mother’s assumption, “How could that be? I clearly saw her intentionally cozying up to him!”
She had just had that kind of incident with Justin; he couldn’t possibly be interested in another woman, it must be Xia Wenjin being shameless!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinglan breathed a slight sigh of relief, “As long as they didn’t come together, it shouldn’t be a problem. After all, Justin is the regional vice president of XJ Corporation; it’s normal for him to be popular. It’s just that the Lu Family is really going too far.”
They had set their sights on Justin and hadn’t even communicated with them, it seems they wanted to monopolize him.
Did the Lu Family even look at their own status, daring to compete with the Song Family for people?
If it weren’t because XJ Corporation wanted to collaborate with the Song Family, the Lu Family wouldn’t even have the chance to meet Justin.
They dare to blatantly poach?
How shameless!
Song Keren, watching Justin and Xia Wenjin chatting and laughing, tugged at Xiao Jinglan’s arm and asked, “Mom, what should I do now?”
What if Justin was seduced away by Xia Wenjin, that vixen?
Xiao Jinglan’s eyes flickered, and she immediately hooked her arm through Song Keren’s, saying, “Don’t panic, you’re Song Sinian’s sister, far more noble than that newly returned Lu Family heiress, Xia Wenjin!”
With that, she pulled Song Keren directly towards Justin.
“Mr. Justin, hello, this is my daughter Song Keren, also Sinian’s sister.” As soon as she reached Justin, Xiao Jinglan went straight to the point.
Justin politely nodded at Song Keren, but when he saw her face, his eyes immediately widened a bit.
His blue eyes filled with surprise.
He hadn’t expected the one-night stand from the bar to be Song Sinian’s sister!
Before, he thought the Lu Family’s offer wasn’t bad, so getting along with Xia Wenjin seemed fine.
But Sinian’s sister… that’s a different story.
If he could get the support of the Song Family, his position in XJ Corporation could soar.
Song Keren noticed the change in Justin’s gaze and realized he had recognized her.
She feigned ease and winked at Justin, then reached out her hand, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Justin.”
Seeing Song Keren’s forwardness, Justin naturally also showed a gentlemanly smile and took her hand, “I’m very glad to see you again, Miss Song Keren.”
When he retracted his hand, he lightly scratched the palm of her hand.
Now, Song Keren was even more certain Justin was interested in her.
Beside them, Xia Wenjin watched the two exchanging looks and her brows knotted in frustration.

She gave Justin an annoyed glance and almost demanded in her voice, “Have you met before?”
“We…”
Before Justin could speak, Song Keren immediately stepped forward, latched onto his arm, and took over the conversation. “Of course we’ve met before, my exchange with Mr. Justin was extremely, very, delightful!”
She deliberately stressed the last four words heavily as if to purposely provoke Xia Wenjin.
“…”
Xia Wenjin hadn’t expected Song Keren to beat her to the punch and was so infuriated that she clenched her fists tightly but couldn’t utter a single word.
Xiao Jinglan also hadn’t expected Song Keren to win over Justin so quickly and couldn’t help but feel somewhat proud.
“Keren, you talk to Mr. Justin for a bit; I have other matters to attend to and must excuse myself now.”
As she left, she didn’t forget to give Song Keren a confirming look.
Truly her daughter, she definitely had the skills!
Xiao Jinglan hurried off, completely unaware that in a distant corner, Lu Zhaozhao was watching the drama unfold with great interest.
Suddenly, a figure appeared beside her, his tone casual, “Interesting, isn’t it?”
Song Sinian said, handing her a plate of snacks and then draped his coat over Lu Zhaozhao’s shoulders.
After the sun had set, the temperature had dropped, and the room, which hadn’t been very warm to begin with, felt even colder.
The gentlemen, dressed in suits, were fine.
The ladies, all in thin evening dresses, naturally couldn’t retain much warmth.
Song Sinian watched Lu Zhaozhao eat her melon seeds with relish, guessing she had long forgotten about the cold.
Lu Zhaozhao stuffed a piece of the snack into her mouth, looked up at Song Sinian, and asked quietly, “Mr. Song, how did you know there’d be such a spectacle here?”
She had always thought that aside from work, Song Sinian was all about work, who knew he had a penchant for gossip?
Song Sinian gently pushed a stray hair behind her ear to make it easier for her to eat and then said lightly, “I heard from Zhao Xi that Lu Dagui and Xiao Jinglan have been secretly investigating Justin; Lu Dagui had even deliberately arranged for Xia Wenjin to be Justin’s tour guide, while Xiao Jinglan made sure Zhao Xi secured an invitation for Song Keren…”
Lu Zhaozhao nodded; from these points, it was clear the Lu Family and Xiao Jinglan were trying to match Justin with someone—an impressive display of Mr. Song’s logical prowess.
However, in her previous life, Justin had married Xia Wenjin and barely had any interaction with Song Keren, though now it seemed that Song Keren had a higher chance than Xia Wenjin.
Thinking this, Lu Zhaozhao couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Song, who do you think between Xiao Jinglan and Song Keren has a better chance with Justin?”
Song Sinian looked in the direction Lu Zhaozhao was looking and blinked, “Either of them could.”
“Hmm? Either?” Lu Zhaozhao’s eyebrows raised slightly as she turned to look at Song Sinian, “Isn’t polygamy illegal?”
Song Sinian gave Lu Zhaozhao a deadpan look and began to spout nonsense with a straight face, “The country under his nationality permits polygamy.”
Though it was the nationality of the future.
He had already discussed this issue with Xia Wenjue, and there were no major issues on his side.
Thus, changing Justin’s nationality was just a matter of time.
Lu Zhaozhao looked as if she had just realized this, indicating she was perhaps uninformed.
She grabbed another piece of the snack and chewed thoughtfully, then furrowed her brows, “Mr. Song… emmm, could you perhaps get me something to drink?”
Her watery eyes pleaded with Song Sinian, who sighed helplessly, ruffled her head, and then walked away again.
Lu Zhaozhao then resumed her snack eating, looked up in the direction of the drama, but unexpectedly met Justin’s gaze—
