After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 265 - 264: Almost There with One Step Left...
Chapter 265 -264: Almost There with One Step Left…
“Uh-huh, I will.” Xia Wenjin snuggled into Justin’s arms, pretending to be moved, but secretly gritted her teeth.
How could this man not have grasped what she just meant, yet he did not respond to her.
She did not understand what Justin was hesitating about.
They were so close to the endpoint…
Xia Wenjin clenched her fist, realizing she could only stop here for today.
She knew that if she continued, the outcome would not improve and might even lead Justin to think she was manipulative, so all she could do was endure.
At the same time, things weren’t going well for Mr. and Mrs. Lu either.
They originally planned to meet with Xiao Jinglan over the weekend, but she had stood them up the night before.
When they met the next day, Xiao Jinglan looked as if she despised them so much she could crush them.
Forget about discussing business, she mocked and ridiculed them with pointless chatter, and they broke off the meeting without accomplishing anything.
Sitting in the driver’s seat, Lu Dagui was still seething with rage, cursing as he drove, “Xiao Jinglan, that bitch, really thinks she’s all that! She used to be part of the Song Family, and now she’s nothing, yet she dares to boss me around?! What is she even?!”
Cao Mei gripped the seatbelt tightly, looking at Lu Dagui’s dark expression like the bottom of a pot, and spoke cautiously, “Master, we are also somewhat in need of others…”
If it weren’t for the fact that the mined veins had yielded no valuable rough stone, they wouldn’t need to tolerate Xiao Jinglan’s demeanor.
“Damn it! Why should I have to beg that woman!” Lu Dagui cursed loudly.
His heart grew even more discontented.
He knew better than anyone what this was really about.
Ever since the Lu Group acquired those two resource veins, he thought the Lu Family was set to soar. He did not care about companies that were once comparable in size to his.
Nor did he consider companies larger than his that couldn’t match the Song Group, which he hadn’t much cared about either.
At the time, he felt excessively confident, but thinking about it now, who gave him that confidence?
It was Lu Zhaozhao, whom he had driven away!
Before he had expelled Lu Zhaozhao, his life could be said to have been smooth sailing.
The more Lu Dagui thought about it, the more suffocated he felt.
Thinking about the meetings with Xiao Mo and Xiao Jinglan today and last night made him even more irritable!
Both were married off, yet what Lu Zhaozhao could achieve, Xia Wenjin couldn’t even manage to meet Xiao Mo!
Otherwise, he would not have to continuously bear Xiao Jinglan’s humiliations!
Lu Dagui became angrier as he thought about it, pressing harder on the accelerator.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Cao Mei panicked, “Master, don’t get angry, why don’t we ask Zhaozhao for help and sell one of the veins to Sinian?”
In the end, both veins were problematic; if they sold one, might the other not revive?
Suddenly lucid, Lu Dagui hit the brakes and stopped on the roadside.
His eyes quickly filled with a gleam of insight, “That makes sense! If Sinian buys one of the veins, not only will we have money for operations, but we might also turn losses into profits!”
Sinian already had a Purple Jade mine, and even if half of it was of inferior quality, it was still salable.
People might criticize it a bit, at most.
Lu Dagui grew more excited as he thought, “Contact Zhaozhao in the next few days and have her seal this deal.”
“…”
Cao Mei pursed her lips, wanting to refuse, but remembering that she herself had initiated the conversation, she reluctantly agreed.
“Now, it’s really late, she should be asleep. I’ll find her first thing in the morning.”
“Mhm.”
“…”
So, the next day, Lu Zhaozhao was rudely awakened by Cao Mei’s call before she could even fully wake up.
She sluggishly crawled out from under her covers to her bedside by the time the phone had already stopped ringing.
Lu Zhaozhao had just reached for her phone when it vibrated twice in succession.
It was a message from Cao Mei.
“Zhaozhao, do you have time to come home? Mom misses you.”
“Zhaozhao, mom knows she’s neglected you because of Xia Wenjin, but it was because she lied, telling mom the Xia Family mistreated her, that mom treated you that way, mom knows she was wrong…”
Lu Zhaozhao nearly retched on the spot as she read these messages.
If she hadn’t experienced her past life, perhaps she might have believed a fraction of it.
But now, she didn’t believe even a punctuation mark of Cao Mei’s words.
The Lu Family was already in chaos, their show of weakness only proved that they were getting increasingly desperate.
Lu Zhaohao’s eyes narrowed, and after pondering for a moment, she replied, “Let me think about it.”
For now, she didn’t intend to dash the hopes of the Lu Family; after all, only by filling them with hope, and then revealing herself as the one to deliver a crushing blow, would their despair be maximized, wouldn’t it?
They had given her misery in her past life, and she intended to return it tenfold, a hundredfold!
Soon, Cao Mei replied.
“It’s okay, Zhaozhao, take your time, mom won’t pressure you, mom will wait patiently.”
“After going through so much, mom now realizes you are more important than Xia Wenjin.”
“Hah!” Lu Zhaozhao scoffed aloud as she read the message, amused by Cao Mei’s dramatic act.
Such an interesting show would be too boring if only she watched it.
Thinking this, Lu Zhaozhao took out another phone and snapped a photo of the messages Cao Mei had sent.
Then she posted it on her social media.
Some people, no matter how hard they try, can’t get what they can’t have.
She intentionally attached the photo she had taken to the post.
However, only Xia Wenjin could see this post.
She had previously noticed that Xia Wenjin nearly stalked her social media daily using alternate accounts, but it was all in vain.
That’s because Mr. Song from the Song Family had installed an app on her phone long ago. Whenever she wanted, she could see who viewed her social media, when they viewed it, who they were, down to their real-time address, name, and phone number.

So the more Xia Wenjin tried to hide, the more she resembled a ridiculous clown.
Soon, Lu Zhaozhao received a notification that Xia Wenjin had read her latest social media post.
Her lips curled slightly upward, and she promptly deleted it.
Xia Wenjin must be furious now, right?
Her parents, who had always treated her like a precious gem, were now belittling her?
But Lu Zhaozhao was certain she wouldn’t confront Cao Mei directly.
Her standing in the Lu Family had been shaky during the last dinner party, and confronting Cao Mei over a social media post now would only worsen her situation.
