“Mom~ I just knew you were the best to me!” Xia Wenjin was all excited.

As long as she returned to the Lu Family with dignity, she couldn’t believe that Lu Zhaozhao would still be able to show off in front of her!

Cao Mei saw that Xia Wenjin’s mood had improved a lot and felt happy too, “Baby, there’s still something I need to tell you that might also be good news for you.”

Xia Wenjin looked up at Cao Mei, wondering if there could be anything as good as returning to the Lu Family.

Cao Mei said, handing over a stack of documents to Xia Wenjin, “The Regional Vice President of the international XJ Group is coming to Shangjing. I heard he’s here to discuss a collaboration with the Song Family. Your father has recommended that you guide him tomorrow. Here’s his information.”

“Be a guide?” Xia Wenjin felt annoyed inside.

...

Why should she be any sort of guide?

But considering that Cao Mei had always been very attentive to her, her biological daughter, Wenjin guessed it wasn’t as simple as it seemed on the surface, and so she looked through the documents with patience.

When she saw the information, she couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows – the Vice President looked quite young?

And he was pretty handsome too, a blond with blue eyes.

Seeing that Xia Wenjin seemed satisfied, Cao Mei continued, “Song Sinian is now head over heels for Lu Zhaozhao, and it’s unlikely he’ll divorce her anytime soon, so Mom thought that this Justin isn’t too bad either if he plans to develop his career here in the future…”

“…”

Xia Wenjin frowned noticeably – after all, there was a clear difference between a Regional Vice President of XJ and the President of Song Group.

Besides, Song Sinian was much better-looking than Justin by more than just a little, so Xia Wenjin couldn’t help feeling unwilling.

Why should Lu Zhaozhao have the best while she had to settle for second best?

Cao Mei saw that Xia Wenjin was silent and comforted her further, “Mom is just saying, if you don’t like him, then I will think of another plan for you later. I heard from your father that this Justin is a candidate to be the next CEO of XJ Group, so I thought it would be good for you to meet him…”

The next CEO candidate?

Suddenly, Xia Wenjin was spirited again.

If Justin might indeed become a CEO in the future, it wouldn’t be a bad deal. After all, she had long heard of XJ Group.

Their status abroad was almost the same as Song Group’s status domestically.

If she really married Justin, it wouldn’t be considered a loss to Lu Zhaozhao.

Xia Wenjin squinted her eyes and then slowly said, “Mom, I know everything you do is for my good. I will surely follow your arrangements. It’s just that I felt it was too sudden just now and didn’t react.”

Cao Mei nodded with relief, “Okay, then let’s meet at a coffee shop early tomorrow morning.”

“Okay…”

But what Xia Wenjin didn’t expect was that the next day she was all dressed up and waiting for Justin at the café, and she was stood up for half an hour!

She immediately had a poor impression of this so-called Regional Vice President of XJ Group.

“I’m sorry, Miss Xia, there was an issue with the hotel I am staying at, so I’m late…” Justin immediately apologized when they met, and his attitude was quite sincere.

Xia Wenjin forced a smile and still pretended to be amicable, “It’s okay. Next time something like this happens, you can give me a call. Maybe I can help you.”

Justin kept waving his hands, “How could I get a beautiful lady to help with such sundries? To make amends, how about I take Miss Xia for a visit to XJ Group’s couture shop here? I hope Miss Xia can pick out something as my apology gift. Surely, a lady as beautiful as Miss Xia wouldn’t refuse me, right?”

Now that he had said so much, if Xia Wenjin continued to harp on this issue, it would only make her look petty.

“Mr. Justin, there’s no need to worry so much – I’m here to guide, and it’s okay if I had to wait a bit.” She exerted herself to speak in an especially gentle tone as she replied to him.

Justin chuckled lightly, “Then would the beautiful miss please accompany me for a stroll?”

“Sure.”

At the same time, to prepare for the outfit she would wear on the day of the auction, Lu Zhaozhao also arrived at one of the most prosperous buildings in the Shangjing Circle.

The clothes here were mostly from high-end luxury brands, even the niche ones had good reputations within the circle.

Song Sinian was originally going to accompany Lu Zhaozhao, but due to last-minute company matters, he had to let her shop for clothes by herself.

He was always worried, insisting on having these haute couture brands deliver the clothes to their home for selection. Lu Zhaozhao’s lips were almost worn out before she persuaded Song Sinian to cancel such grand arrangements.

But in place of that, he arranged for someone from the Xia Family to accompany her to buy clothes.

Lu Zhaozhao, holding her milk tea in her hands, strolled through the streets leisurely sipping her drink.

In fact, she wasn’t clear on who from the Xia Family was coming to accompany her shopping. Song Sinian only mentioned someone from the Xia Family and didn’t specify who, so all she could do was browse the stores and wait.

“Who would have thought I’d bump into you here? What a coincidence!”

Suddenly, a mocking voice reached her ears, and Lu Zhaozhao instinctively looked in the direction of the sound, catching sight of Xia Wenjin instantly.

Her mouth twitched. It truly was a case of enemies on a narrow road.

Just as Lu Zhaozhao was about to pretend she didn’t see her and leave, Xia Wenjin blocked her path, “Why are you running?”

“…”

Lu Zhaozhao’s mouth twitched again, she wasn’t running; she just didn’t want to talk to an idiot.

Besides, she came here today to happily shop for clothes, not to look for a headache.

“Get out of the way, good dogs don’t block the path.” Lu Zhaozhao glanced at her and started to walk away.

Unexpectedly, Xia Wenjin sidestepped directly towards Lu Zhaozhao, stumbling her way.

Fortunately, Lu Zhaozhao reacted swiftly, dodging aside just in time, watching as Xia Wenjin fell to the ground right before her eyes.

“Miss Xia!”

Suddenly, an anxious voice called out, and Lu Zhaozhao looked up, her brows immediately furrowing.

Because she had seen this man before.

Specifically, she had seen him in the news.

He was the future CEO of XJ Group, Justin.

She didn’t expect Xia Wenjin to know him so early.

Was it possible that even without the Lu Family’s backing, she would still marry this man?

As Lu Zhaozhao was deep in thought, she was suddenly pushed forcefully, “What’s wrong with you, woman? Why are you bullying Miss Xia?”

Justin’s voice reached her ears as she staggered backward.

Just as she was about to fall, a figure suddenly flashed over, catching her in his arms, saving Lu Zhaozhao from hitting the ground.

“Thank…” She hadn’t finished her sentence when she froze.

Because the person who caught her was her older brother—Xia Wenjue.

His face an ashen hue, he glared at the two people before him, his tone dark and sinister, “Who gave you the guts to touch her?”
