After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 70 - That’s It if She’s Happy
Chapter 70: Chapter 70 That’s It if She’s Happy
She faced a dilemma, whether to pick up the money or not.
Lu Zhaozhao deliberately flashed two ok signs at her, teasing, “Three to five days, oh~, Miss Lu~”
“… …”
Xia Wenjin bit her teeth in frustration, but in the end, she squatted down to gather the scattered cash.
Seeing her look both angry and aggrieved, Lu Zhaozhao almost laughed out loud on the spot.
The two thousand yuan, if it were just hundred-yuan bills, would have been only twenty notes, but Xia Wenjin had inconveniently changed them into ten-yuan notes.
...
Tsk, tsk… That’ll keep her busy for a while.
Actually, if Xia Wenjin had just a bit more wit, she could have just given the scattered money away and not be squatting there foolishly picking it up herself.
But then again… what did that have to do with her?
She was satisfied, and that was all that mattered.
Lu Zhaozhao entered the school feeling refreshed and entirely missed the sight of Xia Wenyan, who had turned completely to stone inside the car at the school gate.
He had always believed in Xia Wenjin, thinking that Lu Zhaozhao was the one bullying her each time.
But now, faced with the reality before his eyes, Xia Wenyan realized how ridiculously wrong he had been.
He remembered how he had once promised vehemently to Lu Zhaozhao that she shouldn’t bully Xia Wenjin, and how he had deliberately been hostile to her at home…
What had he done?!
Xia Wenyan suddenly remembered the same phrase Xia Wenjue and Xia Wenqing had told him, “Investigate for yourself; don’t do anything you’ll regret later.”
He was finally beginning to understand what they meant.
Seeing the retreating figure at the school entrance getting smaller, Xia Wenyan felt green with regret.
He gripped the steering wheel tightly, then suddenly remembered Xia Wenjue saying he had a video…
Xia Wenyan couldn’t care less about making a flashy entrance now, he started the car and floored it towards the Xia Family home.
As soon as he arrived at the front door, he saw Xia Wenjue, dressed in a suit jacket, about to leave. Xia Wenyan caught him and said anxiously, “Big brother, I need to see that video!”
“Huh?” Xia Wenjue raised an eyebrow, “What’s gotten into you now?”
Xia Wenyan held onto his arm tightly, “Big brother, I was wrong, I misunderstood Zhaozhao, and now I want to see that video you all talked about!”
“…”
Xia Wenjue took a long look at Xia Wenyan, saw the urgent look on his face, sighed, and finally turned back.
He placed the laptop with the video on the table, opened the video file, and said, “Here it is, this is what I stumbled upon at school that day.”
Xia Wenyan clicked on the video, and Xia Wenjin’s shrill voice immediately began to play.
“Lu Zhaozhao, what do you have to be proud of? What you eat and wear now…”
The Xia Wenyan in the video was just like what he had seen today, haughty and aggressive.
His fingertips unconsciously tightened on the mouse, his knuckles turning white from the strain.
Xia Wenjue noticed something off in his expression and put a hand on his shoulder, asking, “What happened today?”
Xia Wenyan was never one to keep things hidden; something must have happened to spark such a drastic change in him.
Listening to the barrage of comments mocking Lu Zhaozhao in the video, Xia Wenyan’s mood plummeted, “I went to Zhaozhao’s school today, hoping to make her reconcile with Xia Wenjin, but just when I arrived, I saw Xia Wenjin provoking Zhaozhao…”
He didn’t need to explain further for Xia Wenjue to understand what happened.
Xia Wenyan’s entire face fell, looking as if the sky had collapsed, “What should I do? I’ve misunderstood Zhaozhao and treated her so poorly, and she even said she didn’t care about having me as a brother, what should I do, big brother… I’ve really created a huge mess this time.”
A colossal disaster, indeed.
“What mess?” Xia Wenqing, holding a briefcase, was coming down from the second floor and heard Xia Wenyan’s words, his eyebrows lifting slightly in response.
“I…”
His words had not yet finished when his phone suddenly vibrated into life.
Xia Wenyan glanced at the caller ID and answered, “Hello? Principal?”
“Yan, your sister was hit by a student named Lu Zhaozhao at school, but it seems it’s not your parents who came to the school. How do you plan to handle this?”
Hearing the three words “Lu Zhaozhao,” the Three Xia Brothers almost said in unison, “Of course, she must be dealt with severely!”
“…”
There was a noticeable silence on the other end of the phone.
Seeing this, Xia Wenqing hurriedly added, “Principal, don’t worry, we will send a professional lawyer over. It won’t cause you too much trouble.”
“Uh… okay.”
The call was quickly disconnected.
Xia Wenqing narrowed his eyes, his sharp gaze immediately fixed on Xia Wenyan, “Now tell me what sort of trouble you’ve really gotten into?”
“…”
It was ten in the morning.
Lu Zhaozhao sat in the principal’s office, quietly watching Xia Wenjin cry her eyes out.
Beside her, Cao Mei looked as if she wanted to murder her on the spot with nothing but her glare.
“Principal, just look at our Jin’s face, it’s been battered like this! How can you allow someone who hits others like this to remain in the school and harm others?”
Cao Mei spoke with righteous indignation, as though Lu Zhaozhao was her sworn enemy.
Even though they had lived under the same roof for 20 years.
Lu Zhaozhao felt a mix of emotions internally, but this fleeting sentiment did not cause any stir in her.
Because all her feelings had already been ground to dust in her previous life.
The Cao Mei before her was nothing more than an enemy.
Lu Zhaozhao slightly lifted her head, her gaze toward Cao Mei turning sharper.
Having never seen such an expression on Lu Zhaozhao, Cao Mei was suddenly at a loss for words in mid-accusation.
But she quickly regained her composure and started berating Lu Zhaozhao, “Don’t know whose child this is, so venomous. Aren’t they afraid of retribution?”
Lu Zhaozhao let out a scoff, nearly laughing at Cao Mei’s absurdity.
Who was the venomous one, really?
Some people truly lack self-awareness.
“Yeah, those who do evil and don’t go to hell tend to offend both gods and people~” Lu Zhaozhao mocked, her disdainful gaze fastened on Cao Mei.
Where was the usual docile and compliant attitude now?
Lu Zhaozhao’s words instantly ignited Cao Mei’s fury.
Cao Mei forcefully stood up from her chair, charging at Lu Zhaozhao, hands raised to strike her. Had it not been for the school security holding her back, she would have already pounced and been tearing at Lu Zhaozhao.
“Enough! Ms. Cao, calm down, this is a school, not a vegetable market!” The principal’s authoritative voice came through, promptly making Cao Mei behave.
But after glancing at Lu Zhaozhao, she still persistently said, “I hope the principal can ensure justice for our Jin.”
The principal, rubbing his temples with a hint of a headache, asked Lu Zhaozhao, “When will your parents get here, Lu Zhaozhao?”

Lu Zhaozhao curled her lip, “They’re busy, don’t have time.”
The Xia Family was kind, no need for them to face humiliation by the Lu Family on her account, and as for their Mr. Song, she didn’t need him to step in just yet.
Cao Mei immediately sneered, “Ha! That sounds nice, but it’s truly because your poor dad and mom simply can’t show their faces, right?”
