After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 588 - 586: Truly Scheming!

She feigned injury as she looked at Lu Zhaozhao, "I never said before that my fiancé was Xia Wenqing. It just so happened that the mistress’s name was also Xu Zhenzhen..."

What she said to Lu Zhaozhao and Xia Wenyan, only the three of them knew.

As long as she stubbornly refused to admit it, it wouldn’t cause any unnecessary trouble.

She could easily claim that Lu Zhaozhao and Xia Wenyan had misunderstood.

If she couldn’t marry into the Xia Family, being close to Lu Zhaozhao would be useless.

After all, losing a tool of exploitation was better than losing her reputation in the Beijing Circle.

Liu Xiaozhen had previously been abroad where the treatment wasn’t bad, until she came to China where she discovered her commission had increased tenfold.

Though she came to China following Xia Wenqing, she hadn’t expected such a change in treatment.

Most people in China were naïve with lots of money, and she didn’t want to miss out.

Lu Zhaozhao saw Liu Xiaozhen sacrificing her car to save her bishop, and very cooperatively gave her a look of being deceived.

She could hardly control her trembling as she pointed at Liu Xiaozhen, "At that time, you clearly said that person was my second brother. Why have you changed your story now? Didn’t you also say you wanted me to help you teach Xu Zhenzhen a lesson?"

Liu Xiaozhen: "???"

When had she said that? Although she tried indirectly to lead Lu Zhaozhao to do so, she hadn’t gone along with her at the time.

Lu Zhaozhao ignored Liu Xiaozhen’s shocked expression and immediately clung to Xia Wenyan’s arm, "Wuu wuu wuu, Fourth Brother, you were right. Lawyer Liu was really just deceiving me, and I trusted her so much!"

Xia Wenyan, of course, knew Lu Zhaozhao was acting, but seeing her red eyes, his eyebrows still furrowed.

"Lawyer Liu, my sister is innocent and kind, and can’t play your sophisticated games, but that doesn’t mean the Xia Family and the Song Family will stand by and do nothing."

His face was ashen as he pulled Lu Zhaozhao into his arms, staring intently at Liu Xiaozhen.

Originally, the onlookers nibbling on melons heard that the matter involved the Xia Family and the Song Family, and one by one, even if they wanted to eavesdrop, they immediately chose sides.

[Can’t believe it, a mere lawyer dared to play with the CEO’s wife of the Song Group. She’s really bold.]

[Heard that this Lawyer Liu also tried to slander the girlfriend of Xia Family’s second son, wanting to play the mistress. But her ploy was exposed and then she targeted the Xia Family’s little princess. She’s so scheming!]

[Looks like I need to remind my clients, don’t accidentally invite wolves into your house. You might end up in a lawsuit and lose your home.]

[You’re right, steer as clear as you can from such morally corrupt lawyers!]

...

Seeing Liu Xiaozhen had offended Lu Zhaozhao, everyone already wanted to distance themselves from her, as they had been in this industry so long and were sharp enough to see who really mattered to the Xia Family.

Moreover, Song Sinian from the Song Group personally entered the fray labeling himself as love-struck, making the name Lu Zhaozhao resonate even louder in their legal circles.

Offending anyone but this major patron was unthinkable.

Liu Xiaozhen seemed not to have anticipated that her action of blaming Lu Zhaozhao would bring so much backlash upon herself.

She wanted to salvage her reputation, so she hurriedly said, "Zhaozhao, you misunderstood me earlier. I never thought that way. I just felt hurt by my fiancé’s betrayal, that’s all. I didn’t mean to blame you..."

Liu Xiaozhen’s face showed extreme distress, resembling a misunderstood victim.

Unfortunately, the people she faced included an expert in detecting liars and a straight-shooting man freshly tutored by the expert.

So, facing Liu Xiaozhen’s weeping, everyone was completely indifferent, even feeling an urge to hit her.

Xu Zhenzhen watched Liu Xiaozhen as if watching a play, suddenly realizing how foolish she had been in the past to be deceived by her.

She scoffed coldly, taking the initiative to verbally stab Liu Xiaozhen, "If I remember correctly, when I was abroad and not yet with Lawyer Xia, you used these same tricks on me."

Liu Xiaozhen exploded upon hearing this, "What are you talking about?! I already said it was a misunderstanding. Xu Zhenzhen, can’t you stand to see me do well? Must you push me to death?"

Xu Zhenzhen shrugged, "Whether what I said is true can easily be known with a little investigation. Do you think everyone is a fool like I was?"

Remembering the information Lu Zhaozhao had revealed to her, the corners of her mouth slightly curved up, "All the honors you’ve accumulated since childhood, how many did you get using these dirty tricks? And how many people have you hurt along the way? You might pretend to ignore it, but those you’ve deceived are more aware than anyone!"

She had always thought Liu Xiaozhen was merely pursuing Xia Wenqing, which was why she targeted her.

But since reading the material Lu Zhaozhao had sent her, she realized that in Liu Xiaozhen’s climb to her current position, many people, like herself, had become her cannon fodder.

Some lost their relationships, others their money, and still others their lives.

Xu Zhenzhen was curious if Liu Xiaozhen would have nightmares when she woke in the middle of the night?

She had done such heartless deeds yet continued to act innocent in front of others.

How could she dare?

However, upon reflection, if it weren’t for Lu Zhaozhao and Xia Wenyan, she would continue to be foolishly spun around by Xia Wenqing and Liu Xiaozhen.

She might even despair, thinking it was her own unrequited love.

Xu Zhenzhen had to admit that Liu Xiaozhen’s tactics were indeed clever. She didn’t get her hands dirty, often exploiting the information gap among those around her.

Many people, even if they were hurt, would never guess that Liu Xiaozhen was behind it.

Liu Xiaozhen felt a bit guilty from Xu Zhenzhen’s words.

She thought she had only slipped up with Xu Zhenzhen and Xia Wenqing, but unexpectedly, Xu Zhenzhen brought up her past, which made Liu Xiaozhen’s brows furrow involuntarily.

Her past must not be dug up, especially not by those she had used as stepping stones!

Liu Xiaozhen gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at Xu Zhenzhen, "Don’t make groundless accusations. Everything depends on evidence. If you continue to slander me, I won’t hesitate to send you a lawyer’s letter."

Xia Wenqing had been silently watching as a bystander, observing his sister and brother energetically act out the scene.

Even when Xu Zhenzhen joined in, he was not greatly moved.

It wasn’t until Liu Xiaozhen threatened Xu Zhenzhen that he finally stepped forward, "Didn’t Lawyer Liu claim to be upright and just? Why are you so afraid of others’ words? Could it be that you really have something to hide?"
