After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 264 - 263: How Could We Not Know?
Chapter 264 -263: How Could We Not Know?
Pei Huai seemed to sense something, his entire pupils trembling.
Lu Zhaozhao could tell by his reaction that she had just said too much, but… what was said was said.
She sighed, “Alright, stop trembling. Given how you treat my fourth brother, only he, the natural fool, wouldn’t notice.”
Pei Huai paused, but then slowly relaxed.
He hesitated before looking at Lu Zhaozhao, “You… don’t object?”
“Why would I object? We’ve both crawled out of hell step by step for the sake of love. I believe your feelings for him are genuine. That’s enough,” Lu Zhaozhao said with a natural smile.
She actually wasn’t much opposed to this sort of thing.
As long as two people truly loved each other, nothing else was an obstacle.
In fact, she was more concerned about her fourth brother and felt more sympathy for Pei Huai.
Her fourth brother was incredibly slow on the uptake; he probably still hadn’t realized Pei Huai’s feelings for him.
What was more, his own emotional responses were just as slow.
So, even if outsiders approved of their relationship, Pei Huai still had the Himalayas to climb in the form of Xia Wenyan…
That night, a cold breeze swept over the windowsill of the hotel.
Xia Wenjin sat quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, her face still covered with numerous scratches from fingernails.
Yet, a smile of triumph curved the corners of her mouth.
Her initial intention was simply to curry favor with Justin, but she hadn’t expected Song Keren to show up, resulting in both herself and Xiao Jinglan receiving a beating.
But none of that mattered. What was important was that Justin had actually grown closer to her because she took the beating.
The more ferociously Song Keren fought yesterday, the more she lost value in Justin’s eyes.
Such a brainless woman.
How many men can live without their pride? With Song Keren making such a scene, she left no dignity for Justin; how could he possibly side with her?
She used to be able to lord over others with the status of the Song Family, but now she was nothing.
The more Xia Wenjin thought about it, the wider her smile grew.
“Beep—”
Suddenly, the sound of the room’s door being unlocked with a magnetic card echoed.
Xia Wenjin knew that Justin had arrived.
After she was beaten yesterday, Justin had swept her away, not only checking her into a higher-end hotel room but also calling an expensive private doctor for her.
The wounds on her face weren’t really a big deal, something she knew better than anyone.
But she couldn’t let on in front of Justin. The only way to control a man’s heart was to make him feel sorry for her.
“Why are you sitting out here?” As soon as Justin entered, he saw Xia Wenjin, shrinks into a ball, sitting in front her of the floor-to-ceiling window with her back to him.
He was about to walk over when Xia Wenjin shivered at first and then immediately flung herself at him upon seeing him.
Justin was taken aback for a moment, but then the corners of his mouth quietly curved up.
He hadn’t expected that this daughter of the Lu Family would be easier to win over than he imagined.
Although Song Keren was very annoying yesterday, her accidental aid proved to be quite useful to him this time around.
With her head buried in Justin’s chest, Xia Wenjin couldn’t see his expression, let alone guess what he was thinking at that moment.
She clung tightly to Justin, forcing a few tears out, “I’m just so scared, with no one by my side, I don’t know what to do…”
Her whole body was shaking, looking pitiful and endearing.
Justin felt a moment of tenderness, but that was all it was, just a moment.
He raised his hand and gently patted Xia Wenjin’s back, saying, “How can there be no one with you? You already have a husband, he…”
“Don’t mention him, please…” This time, Xia Wenjin shook even more violently.
This shaking was not entirely feigned.
Suddenly, she remembered the day when Xiao Mo had made her take a bath and wait for him in the room.
He used those filthy things to whip her, to abuse her…
She couldn’t help but shiver; she hated Xiao Mo to her core, but he had photos of her, and even if she hooked up with Justin, he wouldn’t let her leave cleanly.
She had to find an ally for herself.
Find someone Xiao Mo wouldn’t dare to provoke, or better yet, make Xiao Mo disappear from this world!
Justin obviously sensed something amiss from Xia Wenjin. He looked down at her, then at her hands clutching his clothes, and frowned, “Why are you so afraid of your husband? What has he done to you?”
Xia Wenjin was, after all, the heiress of the Lu Family, how could Xiao Mo dare to lay hands on her?
Could it be that the Lu Family was on the brink of defeat?
Is that why Xiao Mo was so brazen?
Or does Xiao Mo have something on the Lu Family, or on Xia Wenjin herself?
His questioning gaze swept past but definitively landed in Xia Wenjin’s eyes.
He was suspecting her.
Xia Wenjin’s heart chilled; thinking about it, it made sense. Justin was the regional vice president of XJ Group, how could a man without some savvy occupy such a position?
She sniffled, slowly releasing Justin before saying, “He, he hasn’t done much to me, it’s just some of his strange habits, I can’t bear it… and he had drugged me in the production team before, and took photos…”
Her words instantly dispelled Justin’s concerns.
So Xiao Mo did indeed have something on Xia Wenjin, no wonder she wanted to rebel but didn’t dare to.
Justin put on a grave face, but inside, he was overjoyed. The more such a woman existed, the easier it was for him to control her.
He reached out and held Xia Wenjin into his arms, “It’s heartbreaking that such a beautiful person like you would encounter this; I had thought you and Xiao Mo were mutually in love…”
Listening to the voice beside her ear, Xia Wenjin’s lips curved up silently, “It’s not like that. I was hardly familiar with him. If it wasn’t for my parents’ sake, I wouldn’t have married him. In fact, at that time, I had someone else in mind, but I didn’t expect he would get married so quickly.”
As she spoke this, she even looked up at Justin.
It was almost as if she was saying, “The one I fancied is you.”
How could Justin not know?
But he couldn’t accept Xia Wenjin’s affection so soon because what he wanted was the support of the Lu Family, not to marry her.
The woman he wanted to marry was one who could help him reach the peak of his career, not one who would tarnish his name or hinder his work.
How much the brothers of the Xia Family despised Xia Wenjin, he was well aware.
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.
He had originally thought that by marrying Song Keren, with the backing of the Song Family, he would be set. However, he hadn’t expected Song Keren to have no connection with the Song Family anymore.
But since they were already married, he could only plan slowly.
At least, he couldn’t let the brothers of the Xia Family continue to despise him…
Justin forced a smile, “Since you have reluctantly chosen such a marriage, I know it’s not your fault, but you have to take good care of yourself, even just for your own sake, you must be alright, understand?”
