After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 130 - The Show is About to Start
Chapter 130: Chapter 130 The Show is About to Start
“Uh…”
Xiao Jinglan wasn’t exactly scared, she had just been a bit worried about Song Sinian.
Now that she saw he was okay, she naturally let out a sigh of relief.
Lu Zhaozhao gently shook her head and looked up at Song Sinian, “It’s fine. What just happened?”
Song Sinian bowed slightly and leaned closer to her ear to whisper, “The show is about to start.”
After that, he stood up straight again and gently patted her, turning his gaze toward Mr. Song.
...
When Lu Zhaozhao saw Song Sinian handling the situation with such ease, she immediately felt much calmer.
It seemed that the matter was under Mr. Song’s control.
So, her gaze also turned toward Mr. Song.
She saw him glaring furiously at a middle-aged man in front of him, seemingly very angry.
“Is this the red wine you prepared? Do you really think I’m so senile that I can’t distinguish good from bad?”
As he spoke, Mr. Song picked up a bottle of red wine and smashed it on the ground.
“Bang!”
The pieces of the red wine bottle scattered everywhere, and Song Sinian’s brows furrowed, as he pulled Lu Zhaozhao closer to him.
Apparently, he was afraid she was too close and might get hurt by the shards of the bottle.
Meanwhile, Xiao Jinglan, who hadn’t expected Mr. Song to lose his temper so severely, hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over.
After all, this reception was prepared for Song Keren, and they couldn’t let a small issue ruin it.
Xiao Jinglan forced a smile, “Dad, what’s wrong? Why are you so angry? Don’t get upset over insignificant people and harm your health.”
Mr. Song’s brows immediately furrowed even more, and with an unhappy look towards Xiao Jinglan, he continued, “Insignificant people? Take a look for yourself at this welcome banquet you’ve prepared! See for yourself what he has done!”
Xiao Jinglan was also a bit stunned. She had come to mediate, but how did it end up involving her too?
She glanced nervously at Mr. Song, then looked in the direction he was referring to.
There were various drinks prepared on the table.
All of them appeared to be fine, high-end liquor.
But soon, Xiao Jinglan noticed something amiss.
Because those high-end drinks were only a facade, and inside all the red wine bottles were brands she had never heard of…

Xiao Jinglan’s face immediately turned ugly, “Dad, this, this wasn’t my doing!”
Mr. Song looked at her panicked expression, and his voice instantly became colder, “I would have thought you didn’t have the gall.”
Xiao Jinglan then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But Mr. Song’s next words made her heart fall to the bottom.
“If you can’t even handle this simple task, you don’t need to bother with affairs at the Song Mansion anymore.” Mr. Song glanced at the old butler beside him and instructed, “You handle this. Find out exactly how much they have embezzled, and make sure you investigate thoroughly.”
“Yes, Master.”
Xiao Jinglan hadn’t expected the situation to become so serious. She hurriedly forced a smile and stepped forward, “Dad, it’s true that I neglected my supervisory duties, but I can…”
“If you know it’s your fault, that’s enough, you don’t need to involve yourself any further.” Without waiting for Xiao Jinglan to finish, Mr. Song abruptly cut her off.
These past years, it was entirely for the sake of Song Sinian’s face that he had delegated power and let Xiao Jinglan handle some internal matters of the Song Mansion.
But her reach had been too long, and she even started to scheme against him, an old man – he could not ignore that.
“But Dad…” Xiao Jinglan clearly wanted to struggle a bit more.
After all, stripping her of her authority in front of so many people was no different from slapping her in the face.
How could she mix with the society ladies after this?
Xiao Jinglan bit back her protest as she looked at Mr. Song and said, “Dad, I will handle this matter well, please give me another chance!”
Mr. Song’s grizzled eyebrows furrowed slightly. “If you’re so worried, could it be that you instructed him to embezzle?”
“No, absolutely not!” Xiao Jinglan shook her head fervently. “I have food and drink in the Song Family, why would I do such a despicable thing?”
Yet, the problem was, the person in question was truly one of her most trusted.
She couldn’t understand why he would do this—if the people working under Mr. Song investigated him and he wasn’t careful with his words, she was sure to be the one in trouble!
That’s why she wanted to take this matter into her own hands.
Mr. Song glanced at her and said, “Since you’re not involved, you don’t need to handle it.”
“But…”
Since more and more people were gathering around, Xiao Jinglan had no choice but to give up.
If Mr. Song was steadfast in his decision, there was certainly no room for her to maneuver.
She would wait for Xiao Mo to arrive later and then discuss a counterstrategy.
Xiao Jinglan glanced at the wine bottle at her feet and then at the person kneeling on the ground, unable to do anything but watch as Mr. Song’s personnel dragged him away.
The situation developed so unexpectedly that Xiao Jinglan was somewhat caught off guard, but fortunately, the arrangements she had made in advance remained unaffected.
She needed to start her countermeasures immediately, while everyone’s attention was focused here.
Xiao Jinglan looked around at the crowd and caught the eye of one of them, signaling with a glance.
Soon, the person who had been moving through the crowd walked straight over to Lu Zhaozhao.
“Oh my gosh, Mrs. Song, your dress is gorgeous, where did you have it custom-made?”
“Mrs. Song looks stunning today!”
“Mrs. Song, could you introduce me to the designer of your evening gown?”
A few women considerably older than Lu Zhaozhao came over and began to socialize eagerly with her.
Their approach was particularly irritating to Song Sinian.
He almost instinctively tightened his embrace around Lu Zhaozhao, as if ready to confront anyone who dared to come closer.
The moment his actions checked the approaching few, their words got stuck in their throats.
Lu Zhaozhao looked up at Song Sinian, almost amused by his childish behavior.
His ruffled lion-like demeanor suggested not just ‘no strangers allowed,’ but rather a ‘speak and you’re dead’ sort of warning.
Her small hand gently patted Song Sinian, and she blinked sweetly at him, “Mr. Song, I can handle this, don’t worry.”
Despite his reluctance to let go, Song Sinian loosened his tight grip on the slender waist when he saw the smiling face of Lu Zhaozhao, “Don’t stray too far from me.”
His voice was low, clearly laced with displeasure.
“Okay, okay.” Lu Zhaozhao gently laughed and reached up to ruffle Song Sinian’s hair.
His overly compliant demeanor surprised the people standing beside Lu Zhaozhao.
The president of Song Group?
The icy Mr. Song Sinian?
He was actually listening to a woman so attentively?
Could it be that they…
Before they could cast flirtatious glances at Song Sinian, his sharp gaze swept over them, his tone ice-cold, “Shouldn’t you introduce yourselves to my wife before speaking to her?”
