After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 259 - 258: You... Have you been hit?
Chapter 259: Chapter 258: You… Have you been hit?
It wasn’t that she was averse to her current identity.
Rather… even if she were to ruin Song Keren, she couldn’t marry Justin right now.
Song Keren was no longer of the Song Family, and Justin detested her, so she might as well use this point to continue to get close to Justin.
Why not let Song Keren experience what it felt like to be trampled under the feet of those she despised?
Xia Wenjin’s fingertips twirled as she picked up her phone and sent a message to Justin, “Justin, do you have time recently to go out for a drink?”
Lately, she and Justin had been corresponding frequently, and that man’s attitude towards her was still gentle.
She knew that man had feelings for her, if it weren’t for that damnable Song Keren…
“I have time today. Miss Xia, would you like to go out for a drink?”

Xia Wenjin didn’t expect Justin to reply so quickly, let alone extend an invitation directly.
She pursed her lips, mused for a moment, and then immediately sent a message back, “I’m currently at the Lu Family. If Mr. Justin is convenient…”
Mr. and Mrs. Lu should be together with Xiao Jinglan right now.
Thanks to her successful matchmaking, Lu Dagui hadn’t troubled her about her overturned plans.
As for whether Xiao Mo would agree to invest and how he would do it, that was no longer her concern.
She was not as foolish as Lu Zhaozhao, who had had Sinian sign such an outrageous agreement for the sake of the Lu Family.
The thought made Xia Wenjin clench her fists involuntarily. Despite Lu Zhaozhao making such excessive demands when she married into the Song Family, Sinian still treasured her like a gem.
Ha! Lu Zhaozhao really was as capable as Lu Dagui claimed.
“Buzz buzz buzz…”
Suddenly, Xia Wenjin’s phone vibrated again; it was Justin.
He had actually called her directly, which somewhat surprised her.
Was it that he didn’t want to come pick her up?
Xia Wenjin hesitated for a moment, but still answered the call.
Soon, Justin’s magnetic voice came through from the other end of the line, “Miss Xia, I’m already at the entrance of the Lu Family. I’m calling to tell you not to rush, I’m not busy tonight and can wait for you for as long as it takes.”
His words instantly warmed Xia Wenjin’s entire being.
She hadn’t expected that, after testing Justin’s limits time and again, she would be pleasantly surprised every time.
It seemed that this man’s fall into her hands was only a matter of time.
Now, what she had to do was to make this man submit to her.
Xia Wenjin suddenly felt emboldened, her tone softening a few degrees, “Okay, I just got back to the Lu Family not too long ago, I do need some time to get ready.”
“Alright, then I’ll wait for you downstairs.”
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Justin finally hung up the phone.
He glanced at the villa’s windows through the front windshield, then casually tossed his phone onto the passenger seat.
These past few days, he had been busy cleaning up the mess left by marrying Song Keren, which was already annoying enough.
He had no desire to return to his current home.
Right after Song Keren gave him another barrage of calls, he had just received Xia Wenjin’s message, so he made his way here.
His feelings for Xia Wenjin were no different from those for Song Keren; in fact, in his eyes, Xia Wenjin was even more useful than Song Keren.
Song Keren had already been disowned by the Song Family, but Xia Wenjin was still the Lu Family’s precious daughter.
Who mattered more, he could discern that.
Xia Wenjin had recently married the disowned Xiao Mo, her situation wasn’t any better than his; willing to confide in him, he was naturally happy to be “used”.
However… he wouldn’t waste this prime opportunity to get what he wanted.
Xia Wenjin didn’t struggle for too long in the villa; twenty minutes later, she appeared before Justin.
As soon as she sat in the passenger seat, she smiled lightly at Justin, “Sorry, did I come down a bit late…”
Her voice sounded somewhat pitiable, her eyes looking at him, even faintly reddening.
Justin, maintaining a gentle smile, shook his head, “Not at all; waiting for a lady is a gentleman’s basic courtesy.”
As he said this, he took the chance to size up Xia Wenjin’s attire.
The weather was now considered early winter; while daytime was still manageable, the nights were bitterly cold.
Especially when the sun set, Xia Wenjin was only wearing a tank top with an extremely thin cardigan on top.
His glance swept past her collarbone, and just then he saw what seemed to be… bloodstains.
Xia Wenjin seemed to notice his gaze and immediately covered the area she had just touched.
Her hand didn’t cover it thoroughly, even more of the dark red scab peeped through her fingers.
“Don’t, don’t look…” Xia Wenjin’s voice trembled slightly as she spoke.
But by the time Justin looked up again, Xia Wenjin’s tears had already fallen.
Justin was slightly startled, “You… were you hit?”
“…”
Xia Wenjin didn’t speak, but her silence proved to be a better explanation.
Given his understanding of Mr. and Mrs. Lu, they shouldn’t resort to hitting her; after all, they had always shown affection to this daughter publicly.
So the only person left who would have hit Xia Wenjin was the recently married Xiao Mo.
His eyes narrowed, “Xiao Mo, he…”
“Don’t!” Xia Wenjin, as if startled, immediately shrank back, and seeing Justin scared, she then timidly pleaded, “Can you please not mention his name in front of me?”
She took a deep breath, as if to stabilize her own emotions, begging Justin.
“Alright.”
Now Justin was completely sure.
The injuries on Xia Wenjin’s body were caused by Xiao Mo.
Could it be because of being disowned by the Song Family that he took his anger out on Xia Wenjin?
She had consistently targeted Lu Zhaozhao for everything and made outrageous claims online; it was normal for the Song Family to be annoyed.
But… Justin, puzzled, raised an eyebrow; Xiao Mo didn’t seem like a fool, without the Song Family to rely on, shouldn’t he hold onto the Lu Family tightly?
Could it be… the Lu Family wasn’t doing so well?
Justin’s eyes narrowed, and suddenly he had an idea, “It’s cold today; let me take you somewhere to warm up.”
Investigating the situation of the Lu Family wouldn’t be easy; if he wanted firsthand information now, he had to start with Xia Wenjin.
He had already been burnt once before with Song Keren; this time, he had to be cautious no matter what…
If Xia Wenjin couldn’t assist his business as he imagined, then he would have to consider other options; using her as a stepping stone wouldn’t be a bad idea.
Justin and Xia Wenjin, each with their own thoughts in the car, were unaware that every move they made had already been captured early on by someone in the shadows.
By the time their car left the Lu Family villa’s gate, the footage had been precisely sent out—
