After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 355 - 353: It’s All Too Late!

"If she has no shame, I don’t mind going all the way with her."

After all, Xiao Jinglan’s life isn’t going to last much longer.

Does this woman even know what ’harming others harms oneself’ means?

Xiao Jinglan couldn’t help but get furious as she looked at Xia Wenjin’s face, "A woman like you is simply not worthy of Xiao Mo!"

"Not worthy of Xiao Mo, but didn’t he still marry me?" Xia Wenjin glanced at Xiao Jinglan, "You should spend this time thinking about how to get back into the Song Family instead of worrying about someone beating you to it and having to curse in the streets again."

After saying this, she went straight upstairs.

Leaving Xiao Jinglan downstairs frantically smashing things.

Xia Wenjin now had no time to deal with Xiao Jinglan, Xiao Mo hasn’t been coming home much recently, and she didn’t need to pretend so well at home.

She had just returned to the upstairs bedroom when she called Cao Mei.

Since their last contact, it had been a while since they last spoke.

Even when Cao Mei called her, she always made excuses about being busy to put her off.

After all, to her, the Lu Family was no different than a burden.

The Lu Family had gone bankrupt and been liquidated, leaving nothing in the house.

If it weren’t for finding some use in them, she wouldn’t have found them a place to live, let alone give them 3,000 yuan a month for living expenses.

When she made the call, the phone rang several times before someone picked up.

Xia Wenjin asked impatiently, "Why did it take so long to answer the phone?"

There was an obvious silence on Cao Mei’s end, "I was cooking, and I didn’t have my phone on me. Are you calling to come over to the house?"

Xia Wenjin scoffed softly, "Why would I go there? To hear Lu Dagui scoff at me?"

"..."

There was silence on the phone once again.

"Alright, I know life isn’t easy for you right now, I’ll give you some more money," Xia Wenjin said, then added, "Did you see the trending searches related to me today?"

She wasn’t sure if Cao Mei had a habit of keeping up with the news.

If she hadn’t seen it, she’d have to explain it to them all over again, just the thought of it was annoying.

But considering she had to ask them for a favor later, she reluctantly put up with it.

Cao Mei glanced at Lu Dagui sitting on the living room couch, staring at her with a grim face, and she had no choice but to honestly reply, "I saw those trending searches, it’s all over the internet right now, won’t your job be affected?"

Xia Wenjin’s face couldn’t help but turn sour when she thought of this.

Usually, her popularity was high, so even with negative trending searches, the impact on her was not huge.

But now the revelations from the Xia Family directly involved school bullying and hiring thugs to injure people.

The denunciations online were surging wave after wave.

She already had few endorsements, and now they were starting to drop one by one.

How could she not be affected?

Xia Wenjin’s face changed, "The Xia Family is slinging mud at me, it would be strange if I weren’t affected, that’s why I called you."

Cao Mei immediately understood what Xia Wenjin meant and asked slowly, "What do you want us to do?"

"Of course, whatever the Xia Family does to me, you do to them," Xia Wenjin said without thinking, "They sling mud at me, as my parents, shouldn’t you throw it back at them?"

Cao Mei pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment, "But Zhaozhao has been so well-behaved and obedient around us for the past 20 years, there’s really no dirt to be thrown on her."

She wasn’t lying with that statement.

For the past 20 years, Lu Zhaozhao had indeed been very well-behaved and obedient, even constantly striving to please them and do everything to the best of her ability.

Let alone dirt, had she not married into the Song Family, she hadn’t even said a harsh word to them.

No matter how excessive their demands were, she would always find a way to fulfill them.

Even when they asked her to get close to Song Sinian, to secure benefits for the Lu Family, she never refused.

Cao Mei thought about it and suddenly felt that she had indeed been too harsh on Lu Zhaozhao before.

If she had been nicer to her after Xia Wenjin returned, she and her husband wouldn’t be in such a sorry state.

At the very least, by following Lu Zhaozhao, they wouldn’t have had to worry about food and drink, and perhaps the Lu Family wouldn’t have gone bankrupt.

Everything changed after Xia Wenjin came back to the Lu Family.

The supposedly rich ore veins turned out to be completely useless, and even the solid maritime contracts somehow went wrong.

Before, Cao Mei refused to believe that her own flesh and blood could be such a jinx.

But now, everything forced her to believe it.

If they continued to follow Xia Wenjin, they might run into even more misfortune in the future.

As Cao Mei thought this, she seemed to have made up her mind, "Zhaozhao is a good child—other than being too obedient and not very willing to attend public events, she really has no major issues."

"No major issues? Then you can’t make up some minor ones? You’ve raised her for 20 years, can’t you come up with some lies?" Xia Wenjin frowned unhappily, her voice rising significantly.

"Because of Lu Zhaozhao, my reputation is ruined; I don’t care! I want her to go down with me!"

Listening to Xia Wenjin’s words, Cao Mei felt for the first time that her behavior was somewhat ridiculous, "Your reputation was ruined because of what you did at the Xia Family, not because of Zhaozhao."

"How is it not? If the Xia Family hadn’t dug up my past to exact revenge for her, would those things have come out?" Xia Wenjin grew angrier the more she spoke, "Is it not their fault for not telling me the true situation of the Xia Family, leading me to be laughed at for ’dropping a watermelon to pick up a sesame seed’?"

Cao Mei was stunned, "So what you said before about being mistreated at the Xia Family... was that false?"

Xia Wenjin huffed coldly, "They’re so rich, yet they only gave me 10,000 yuan a month for pocket money, isn’t that mistreatment?"

"..."

Cao Mei was suddenly at a loss for words.

Xia Wenjin was even more heartless than she had imagined.

Considering their current situation, Xia Wenjin’s character was very telling.

How blind they had been to not appreciate Lu Zhaozhao and instead insist on bringing Xia Wenjin, a homewrecker, back to their family.

Cao Mei’s insides were filled with regret.

But it was all too late!

Cao Mei suddenly laughed at herself self-deprecatingly; if she were Lu Zhaozhao and knew about everything they had done, she would definitely not forgive them.

Xia Wenjin seemed to notice that Cao Mei was onto something and raised her eyebrows slightly, urging, "Start spreading rumors on Weibo today. Later, send me the account, I have a lot of followers on Weibo now. I’ll give you a little boost by sharing your posts. That way, your account will gain a lot more followers, and you might be able to scrape by with some advertising in the future."

She was, in a way, offering to support them.

Cao Mei’s eyes drooped, "Let me think about this a bit more."

"Fine, take some time to think. But remember, if you wait more than a couple of days, it will be useless. You’d better decide quickly, to avoid later regret," Xia Wenjin said as she hung up the phone.

Little did she expect that after Cao Mei hung up, her forlorn expression had just been perfectly captured on a live broadcast video...
