After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 129 - : Is This Still the Song Sinian She Knew?
Chapter 129: Chapter 129: Is This Still the Song Sinian She Knew?
Is this really the Song Sinian she knew?
Lu Zhaozhao chuckled lightly and patted Song Sinian’s large hand, “No need, Mr. Song.”
As she spoke, she tiptoed to whisper into his ear with an ultra-soft voice, “If I miss you, I will come to find you, don’t worry about me.”
“…”
Song Sinian’s dark pupils drooped slightly, staring at her for three seconds before he raised his hand to gently pinch her cheek.
Before they had arrived at the welcoming feast, Lu Zhaozhao had mentioned she might need to act alone, so he could only comply.
...
After all, only that way would he have a reward when he returned.
But the thought of parting with Lu Zhaozhao did nothing to lessen the irritation at the bottom of his heart.
Song Sinian’s sharp gaze swept past Song Keren in front of him and then landed on Xiao Jinglan, his voice coldly saying, “Let’s go.”
“…”
Faced with such a compliant Song Sinian, Xiao Jinglan found herself somewhat unaccustomed to it for a moment.
She was stunned for a second, then quickly recovered, “Then, let’s go find Old Master Song first.”
Song Sinian did not respond but walked towards the direction where Old Master Song was.
As soon as she saw Song Sinian walking away, Xia Wenjin came straight over.
“Didn’t expect you’d dare to attend Keren’s welcoming party, not even knowing your own weight, heh!”
Xia Wenjin’s sneering tone slowly rang in her ear.
Lu Zhaozhao glanced at her, chuckled lightly, “If someone with a reputation as bad as yours can attend, why can’t I?”
Her words trailed off, turning to look at Song Keren, “After all, no matter what, I am your sister-in-law, right, Keren?”
Lu Zhaozhao said this, deliberately giving Song Keren an exceptionally bright false smile.
Song Keren opened her mouth, despite being displeased with Lu Zhaozhao’s words, in front of so many people, she had to put on a brave face and pretend to get along.
After all, her current public persona was aimed at becoming the number one lady of the Shangjing Circle.
The more she appeared to be tolerant of Lu Zhaozhao, the more topics she would have to talk about later.
She clenched her fists slightly, “You, marrying Song Sinian, naturally makes you my sister-in-law, no doubt…”
Xia Wenjin, on the other hand, was discontent, holding onto Song Keren’s arm, “Keren, let me tell you, don’t be fooled by this woman’s appearance, she married President Song solely relying on our Lu Family’s status! The original marriage agreement was between our Lu Family and the Song Family!”
“…”
“…”
Lu Zhaozhao lifted her eyes to look at Xia Wenjin, upon hearing her words, she didn’t know whether to feel sympathy for Song Keren or for Xia Wenjin.
Her just-stated words seemed to explain that her current status as Mrs. Song was a sham, but in reality, it was just boasting about herself.
A way to say that she was supposed to be Mrs. Song Sinian.
But what Xia Wenjin didn’t know was that Song Keren’s feelings for Song Sinian were not simply those of siblings.
Xiao Jinglan was her mother from another man, and she had no relation to the Song family whatsoever.
Having grown up with a handsome and wealthy man like Song Sinian, it was hard for Song Keren to not be attracted.
So in her past life, Song Keren hated her for marrying Song Sinian and thus maltreated her in every possible way.
She had endured Song Keren time and again because she was Xiao Jinglan’s daughter, but Song Keren showed no sign of restraint.
Now, with Xia Wenjin emphasizing this point in front of her, just on this basis, Song Keren could not genuinely stand on the same line with her.
Indeed, Song Keren’s lips twitched imperceptibly.
She was clearly forcing herself to suppress her disgust towards Xia Wenjin and said with a strained smile, “Jin, no matter what, she’s my sister-in-law now…”
Although Song Keren really disliked Lu Zhaozhao, that did not mean she wanted to show it in front of so many people.
As for what was going on between Xia Wenjin and Lu Zhaozhao, she didn’t need to worry at all.
The two of them had already caused quite a stir online because of the “True vs. False Heiress” incident, and netizens were well aware they were in a state of conflict.
So even if Xia Wenjin was rude to Lu Zhaozhao, any criticism would be directed towards Xia Wenjin, definitely not falling on her.
How could Lu Zhaozhao fail to see through her thoughts?
“Keren, I’m telling you, you’d better stay away from Xia Wenjin. She smeared her forehead with makeup to gain popularity before. If she tries some trick on you next time, it could be troublesome. You must be careful.”
Lu Zhaozhao said this with a face full of concern, as if she was truly worried for Song Keren.
By her side, Xia Wenjin, upon seeing this, glared angrily at Lu Zhaozhao and immediately explained to Song Keren, “No, Keren, that’s not it, I was… I was set up…”
Her words faltered, as if emphasizing that Lu Zhaozhao was the mastermind behind it all.
In reality, the specifics of the situation did not matter to Song Keren.
But the feeling of having both of them vying for her attention made her suddenly experience a surge of superiority.
What could the young miss of the Lu Family do? Wasn’t she still obliged to participate in hype at her behest?
What about being Mrs. Song Si? Didn’t she also have to curry favor with her graciously?
And soon, both of them would become stepping stones under her feet!
Thinking this, Song Keren’s mood instantly improved.
Compared to Xia Wenjin, who wore her ambition plainly on her face, she preferred someone like Lu Zhaozhao, who was quiet and unassuming.
Plus, she had heard from Xiao Jinglan before about Lu Zhaozhao’s ‘salted fish’ tendencies, so she found herself disliking Xia Wenjin even more.
Song Keren forced a smile and casually appeased Xia Wenjin with a few words, “Alright, let’s not quibble right now. This is my welcome party, after all. Jin, could you please give me some face here, okay?”
“…”
Hearing Song Keren’s words, which clearly showed partiality, her face fell instantly.
If it weren’t for Cao Mei telling her before that Song Keren was useful, she wouldn’t bother coming here to play at best friends with her!
Now she had to listen to her talk nonsense, please!
Lu Zhaozhao saw the mutual disdain between Song Keren and Xia Wenjin and couldn’t help but smirk; it wasn’t a waste of her time after all.
As long as these two truly disliked each other, dealing with them both would be much easier.
Now that the stage was set, she just waited for Xiao Jinglan and the others to start the show!

Lu Zhaozhao was immersed in her thoughts when she suddenly heard a loud noise coming from not too far away—
“Bang!”
Almost everyone’s gaze turned towards the source of the noise.
Lu Zhaozhao was no exception.
Since the sound came from very close to Song Si, Lu Zhaozhao almost instinctively ran over in her evening gown.
It was not until she saw Song Si standing unharmed that she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, she felt a tight grip around her waist, and the next thing she knew, Song Si had pulled her over and held her in his embrace.
He gently patted her back and asked with a soothing voice, “Did the noise just now startle you?”
