After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 207 - You you too

Chapter 207: Chapter 207: You, you too?

Chapter 207 -207: You, you too?

Pei Huai seemed to notice Xia Wenyan’s low spirits, and raised his hand to pat his back, “Don’t worry, this kind of thing is easy to resolve. You go ahead and take care of Zhaozhao.”

Xia Wenyan nodded, “Then I’ll leave it to you.”

Saying so, he immediately left the throng of reporters with Lu Zhaozhao.

Watching Xia Wenyan’s retreating figure, Pei Huai couldn’t help but sigh softly in his heart.

He left so decisively, it seemed he had complete confidence in him.

He hadn’t even considered whether Pei Huai knew the details about Lu Zhaozhao’s situation.

Thinking this, Pei Huai’s lips curved into a slight smile, well, if he were overthinking, then that wouldn’t be Xia Wenyan.

Fortunately, he had been having people closely monitor Lu Zhaozhao recently, so he was more than clear on the ins and outs of this whole affair.

Additionally, with the third-person perspective video captured by private detectives in hand, clarifying the situation would be a breeze.

Before long, Pei Huai had the journalists leave and went to Xia Wenyan’s dressing room.

At that moment, Lu Zhaozhao was sitting quietly in Xia Wenyan’s dressing room, eating snacks as if she hadn’t a single worry in the world.

When Lu Zhaozhao saw Pei Huai enter, her eyebrows lifted slightly, “Brother Pei, are you looking for Xia Wenyan? He stepped out to make coffee.”

Her tone was indifferent, maintaining basic politeness.

Pei Huai nodded lightly and took a seat next to Lu Zhaozhao.

His gaze pretended to wander unintentionally but noticed Lu Zhaozhao subtly avoiding him.

Pei Huai’s dark eyes narrowed as he watched her movement.

In his past life, although he didn’t pay much attention to other people’s affairs, he never missed anything related to Xia Wenyan.

Until his death, he had never heard of Xia Wenyan having a sister named Lu Zhaozhao.

What astonished him even more was that Lu Zhaozhao’s arrival seemed to have changed many things.

Pei Huai even suspected whether Lu Zhaozhao was also someone reborn.

He had tested her before, but she didn’t take the bait. However, throughout their interactions, he could clearly sense that Lu Zhaozhao was avoiding him.

It was as if she was very afraid of him.

Since he entered the industry, the characters he played were never the evil villain. His screen image had always been one of a cultured and genteel figure.

Yet Lu Zhaozhao was particularly afraid of him, so… it reinforced his previous assumption.

“Did you come to the show to investigate why Xia Wenyan died that year?”

“Clatter!”

The snack Lu Zhaozhao was eating dropped to the floor.

She stared at Pei Huai incredulously, “You, you’re one too?”

But she quickly realized she’d just let slip something she shouldn’t have.

Because Xia Wenyan was still very much alive.

So, Pei Huai was reborn too?!

Thinking this, she looked at him with renewed wariness.

If he was also reborn, then he could still be the serial killer from his previous life!

Pei Huai looked at Lu Zhaozhao’s suddenly changed face and started to laugh instead, “Let’s be honest with each other, I came to the film set to protect Xia Wenyan. If there’s no conflict between us, I won’t do anything to you.”

Lu Zhaozhao looked at Pei Huai somewhat skeptically, “How can I believe you? You know what you’ve done, you don’t need me to say it, right? I have no reason to believe you won’t hurt Xia Wenyan.”

Pei Huai rested his chin in his hand and gazed at Lu Zhaozhao, saying with a light laugh, “Zhang Hu, Zhao Yi, and Wang Xiaoxiang were accomplices in the bar the day your brother had trouble. And there’s Li Jiao, she personally drugged Xia Wenyan. However, I haven’t caught the mastermind yet, just…”

He shrugged his shoulders, speaking as if it were someone else’s story.

Lu Zhaozhao didn’t have much of an impression of these people, but she remembered that Li Jiao.

In her previous life, Li Jiao was indeed one of Pei Huai’s lost souls, and since she was a celebrity, the entertainment section even covered her.

She was also the only person from the same company who testified that Xia Wenyan took drugs.

Lu Zhaozhao pondered for a moment and did not immediately trust him.

Pei Huai seemed to see through her thoughts and let out a light chuckle, “I didn’t expect Yanyan, who seems a bit slow, to have a sister who’s such a clever sprite. Alright then, let me further prove my innocence.”

Saying this, he rolled up his sleeves and gently unwrapped the bandana on his wrist, revealing several crisscrossed scars.

It was clear that someone had intended to do serious harm.

Pei Huai watched as Lu Zhaozhao’s brows furrowed deeply before he continued, “If you’ve investigated me, you should be aware that there was a period when my condition was very abnormal. I met Yanyan during that low point in my career.”

Lu Zhaozhao’s eyes blinked, quietly watching Pei Huai.

She had indeed investigated him, and what she found largely matched what he said.

“Hard to believe, right?” Pei Huai propped his chin up, “I was clearly a has-been with no value to exploit, yet he genuinely cared about me and even frequently contacted me in private because I wasn’t feeling well on a show.”

He spoke of Xia Wenyan with a smiling gaze, seemingly in a good mood.

Lu Zhaozhao’s brows furrowed slightly, completely not expecting the now-renowned Pei Huai to have gone through such a low point.

Seeing the way he laid all his cards on the table, Lu Zhaozhao slowly opened up, “Actually… I suspect that the mastermind behind all this is Xia Wenjin, which is why I decided to take part in the variety show. I worry my fourth brother is too naive and might be tricked by her again.”

Back when she had just become recognized by the Xia Family, Xia Wenjin had used flattery to manipulate Xia Wenyan like a pawn.

She had to be cautious.

“It’s her,” Pei Huai’s eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of murderous intent, making Lu Zhaozhao shiver as well.

Her brows furrowed sharply, “You—don’t be impulsive. She hasn’t done anything yet. If you act now, it won’t be good for you.”

Remembering Pei Huai’s stern face from the news in her last life, she felt a chill.

Unexpectedly, Pei Huai suddenly broke into laughter, “Don’t worry, little sister, I’m not going to kill her outright. Yanyan is still here. If I did that, I wouldn’t be able to stay by his side.”

“???”

Lu Zhaozhao’s head tilted slightly. Was it her imagination?

Why did she feel like Pei Huai’s concern for her fourth brother went beyond what one would expect from just friends?

But on second thought, Xia Wenyan was the light that pulled Pei Huai back from the abyss; it was fairly normal for someone to go mad if their light was taken away.

As she was contemplating, a large hand ruffled her hair, “Thanks to you, little sister, it’s not so easy for Xia Wenjin to throw her weight around anymore. But be careful. She took photos of you and Yin Zhuhai, those intimate ones for trick angles, I don’t know what she plans to do with them.”

Lu Zhaozhao’s eyes narrowed sharply upon hearing this.

Thinking about Song Sinian’s unusual behavior from before, she seemed to understand something.

“That damn Xia Wenjin, if she doesn’t make trouble for a day, she’ll suffocate!” Lu Zhaozhao clenched her fists in anger.

It seemed it was time to show her some colors!

So that little bitch wouldn’t always think she was easy to bully!
