After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 162 - : Zhaozhao Belongs to Me Alone
Chapter 162 -162: Zhaozhao Belongs to Me Alone
Mr. Song’s eyebrows knitted into a knot in an instant, and his puzzled gaze turned to Song Sinian, “So, when you come over to the Shen Family Mansion for meals and leave right after, is it because you don’t like this old man?”
Song Sinian lifted his eyes slightly, “Isn’t it your primary physician who said you need to rest early every day?”
“…”
Mr. Song and Song Sinian stared each other down in an instant.
He now fully understood what Lu Zhaozhao meant by “direct communication.”
Mr. Song pondered for a moment and then tentatively pushed his luck further, “Then… wouldn’t it be fine for you and Zhaozhao to come home once a week to keep this old man company for a meal?”
Song Sinian nodded, “Okay.”
“!!!”
That’s possible!!!
Mr. Song became excited all over.
He had hoped for so many years to find someone who could bring him closer to Song Sinian, and now he realized it might have been redundant.
His grandson wasn’t as heartless as he had imagined; it was just that his previous way of expressing himself had been too subtle, and that’s why they had missed out on communicating for so many years.
A hint of sentimentality arose in Mr. Song’s heart.
He wished he had known earlier, but… it wasn’t too late now, fortunately, with Lu Zhaozhao around, he could have his wish fulfilled before closing his eyes.
Thinking this, Mr. Song’s gaze turned to Lu Zhaozhao, and in a kindly tone, he said, “Zhaozhao, would you and Sinian consider moving to the old mansion to live with…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Song Sinian, right in front of him, scooped up Lu Zhaozhao and wrapped her in his arms.
“She’s mine,” Song Sinian said, protectively eyeing Mr. Song, “Don’t even think about it.”
Mr. Song’s brow twitched, “What I mean is, both you and Zhaozhao could move into the old mansion, now that it’s empty.”
Song Sinian shook his head again, “No need. Zhaozhao is mine alone. If you’re lonely, you can ask Xiao Jinglan and Song Keren to come back.”
“You brat! You…”
“It’s late already, and I’m taking Zhaozhao home now. Get some rest early, as the doctor advised.” Saying this, Song Sinian strode away from the garden, still carrying Lu Zhaozhao.
Watching the retreating figures of Song Sinian and Lu Zhaozhao, Mr. Song suddenly burst into laughter.
“That brat, he knows how good his wife is, now he’s learned to ‘guard his food’…”
…
It was getting dark.
Xia Wenjin, who had left the Song Mansion, had also returned to the Lu Family at this time.
The moment she entered, Cao Mei saw her eyes swollen red from crying.
Her eyebrows furrowed deeply, “Jin, what happened to you? Did someone bully you?”
Xia Wenjin threw herself into Cao Mei’s arms, “Wuu wuu wuu, Mom, Song, Song Family… wuu wuu wuu…”
Cao Mei quickly patted Xia Wenjin’s back, comforting her, “Take your time, no rush, tell me what’s wrong, your parents are here to support you.”
Beside her, Lu Dagui also nodded repeatedly, “That’s right, even if it’s the Song Family, we don’t need to fear them!”
The Lu Family now had the two hottest mining veins, along with their own international trade orders. As long as these two veins started producing, they would no longer have to depend on anyone.
Even the Song Family couldn’t pose much of a threat to them.
Xia Wenjin wiped away her tears, her voice choking as she spoke, “Today, Song Keren called me to the Song Mansion, but Old Master Song, for some reason, really doesn’t like me. He’s always picking on me, wu wu…”
Cao Mei’s brows furrowed instantly, “Didn’t Xiao Jinglan help you?”
Xia Wenjin pursed her lips, “She did, and even Song Keren did too, but it was no use. On the way just now, I heard Song Keren say that she and Xiao Jinglan were also driven out.”
“…”
“…”
This left Cao Mei and Lu Dagui speechless.
Xiao Jinglan was also driven out?
After so many years in the Song Family, she was just cast out like that?
Seeing that Cao Mei and Lu Dagui remained silent, Xia Wenjin began to sob again, “It must be that Lu Zhaozhao’s doing. Now, both Song Sinian and Mr. Song are so enchanted by her, they won’t listen to anyone else…”
Cao Mei’s eyes narrowed, “She’s only left with the Song Family backing her, so it’s normal that she wants to cling on to them tightly. However… she has been indeed too presumptuous recently.”
After all, it’s Xia Wenjin who is the true heiress of the Lu Family, yet in the eyes of the public, the reputations of the two are as different as heaven and earth.
How could she just stand by and watch her own daughter be inferior to someone else?
Especially that wretch, Lu Zhaozhao!
Lu Dagui raised a hand to pat Xia Wenjin, comforting her, “Jin, don’t worry, our family has allocated a generous budget for the banquet this time. You just need to show up looking beautiful; your mom and I have arranged everything else.”
Cao Mei took out a tissue and wiped Xia Wenjin’s tears, also comforting her, “That’s right, Jin. For this banquet, your dad and I have specifically invited quite a few mainstream media outlets from Shangjing, and your dad even specially bought the front page headline for the second day’s news, along with several hot search spots. Just rest assured.”
Hearing this, Xia Wenjin instantly stopped crying.
Mainstream media + front page headline + hot search, these were enough to launch a PR battle for her and stomp Lu Zhaozhao under her feet!
But then again, Xia Wenjin’s brows furrowed at the thought, “What if, Lu Zhaozhao shows up on the day of the banquet?”
Although she had shown off the invitation, in reality, it had been torn up and thrown in the trash by her.
How could she possibly give Lu Zhaozhao the chance to ruin her own significant banquet?
The lavish banquet specially prepared for her by Cao Mei and Lu Dagui was, naturally, where she would be the sole protagonist!
Seeing her worried expression, Cao Mei hugged Xia Wenjin into her arms, patting her gently, “Don’t worry. At the entrance of the banquet hall, I will arrange two bodyguards in advance. Even if Lu Zhaozhao shows up, she will definitely not be allowed in.”
They had originally planned to use Lu Zhaozhao’s absence from the banquet to hype Xia Wenjin and trample her in passing.
How could they possibly give her the chance to make an appearance?
Not to mention that Lu Zhaozhao doesn’t know about it now, but even if she did, without an invitation, would she have the face to come?
Knowing Lu Zhaozhao as she did, even if she were lent a hundred guts, she wouldn’t dare to show up at the banquet.
And even if, against all odds, she did come, she wouldn’t be getting in.
At that, Xia Wenjin was completely reassured. She wrapped her arms around Cao Mei and nuzzled her, “I knew Mom was the best to me!”
If it hadn’t been for that little wench, Lu Zhaozhao, occupying her place for so long, with the Lu Family’s resources, she would have been flourishing in the Shangjing Circle already!
Would she have to be shunned like she is now?
The reason she is so unlucky now is all thanks to Lu Zhaozhao, how could she not hate her?
But that’s okay, Lu Zhaozhao’s good days are over!
Now she’s just lost the identity of the Lu Family, but later, when she tramples her underfoot, the Song Family will abandon her too!
