After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 382 - 380: Indeed in Cahoots!

Unlike his tall and aloof appearance, he looked particularly gentle when feeding Lu Zhaozhao.

Hao Li watched Song Sinian, a bit perplexed, not understanding where she had just gone wrong.

Lu Zhaozhao seemed delicate, even needing a man to feed her when she was sick, really spoiling her.

She remembered that the Feng family’s Jiaye had said Song Sinian didn’t care about this little tramp. Now that she was sick, Song Sinian was feeding her by the mouthful; this shouldn’t look like he didn’t care.

Lu Zhaozhao ate until she was seventy percent full and seeing that the two showed no sign of leaving, she asked again, "Isn’t Lady Xiao going to rest early? I heard you were not in good health lately and had just been discharged from the hospital."

Lady Xiao’s face visibly twitched.

The fact that she had been in the hospital was a thorn in her side.

Forcing a smile, she looked at Lu Zhaozhao and said, "Old Master Song just left me in charge of the hospital matters yesterday, so I took the opportunity to come by and see how Zhaozhao was doing."

She was clearly dealing with Hao Li’s issue, yet Lady Xiao spun it into something that seemed very grand.

Even Lu Zhaozhao couldn’t help but admire her glib tongue.

In her previous life, Xiao Jinglan had fooled her completely with her slick tongue; now, thinking about it, it wasn’t that the other was so clever or had such brilliant tactics.

It was her own lack of information and stupidity.

Lu Zhaozhao heard a tinge of bragging in the conversation and involuntarily glanced at Hao Li.

Her smile which wasn’t quite a smile evidently got under her skin.

Lu Zhaozhao and Xiao Jinglan were in cahoots; now that Xiao Jinglan was highly valued by Old Master Song, she came to give her the news first, hmph!

They were indeed in collusion!

Hao Li took another sullen sip of cubilose before saying, "Old Master Song only asked you to help investigate the hospital’s situation. When did he say to let you handle everything? Some people really know how to gild their own faces."

Lu Zhaozhao silently curled the corner of her mouth, watching with satisfaction as Hao Li gave Xiao Jinglan a hard time.

Hao Li and Xiao Jinglan’s methods differed, as did their personalities.

Xiao Jinglan was best at sweet talk, but Hao Li was the least susceptible to that, so she always managed to embarrass Xiao Jinglan sufficiently.

Even Xiao Jinglan, who was used to big scenes, couldn’t handle someone tough like Hao Li.

If Hao Li hadn’t been such a handful, perhaps Old Master Song wouldn’t have passed the task to Xiao Jinglan, would he?

Song Sinian watched Lu Zhaozhao with relish, reached out with a handkerchief to wipe her lips, and then put away the breakfast that was on the table.

Instead, he sat beside Lu Zhaozhao and started peeling sugar tangerines for her.

Seeing Xiao Jinglan’s uncomfortable expression and the tense standoff with Hao Li, Lu Zhaozhao naturally couldn’t resist adding fuel to the fire.

"Since Lady Xiao was personally appointed by Grandfather, she must have some skills. Auntie just arrived in Shangjing not too long ago, so it’s better to listen more," she said.

After these words from Lu Zhaozhao, Hao Li became even more convinced that Lu Zhaozhao and Xiao Jinglan were on the same side.

Her fists clenched, her gaze shifted to Xiao Jinglan by her side. No way, she absolutely couldn’t be suppressed by her!

Lu Zhaozhao was now a granddaughter-in-law of the Song Family, having the right to speak was one thing, but why should Xiao Jinglan, a foreign woman whose husband had died, be above her? Why?

Ha! Old Master Song wanted Xiao Jinglan to investigate the hospital business?

She would make Xiao Jinglan screw it up, and then see if she could still stand her ground in the Song Family!

Thinking this way, Hao Li finished her cubilose, put it down on the table, and then said, "Since there’s nothing wrong here with Zhaozhao, I’ll go back to the hospital ward to take care of our Jiaye. There’s no one to attend to Jiaye by his side. I really don’t know what some people do when they come to the hospital, heh..."

Xiao Jinglan was once again stabbed in the back by Hao Li, her brow instantly furrowing into a knot.

"Lady Xiao, since you aren’t busy with other matters, why don’t you help Aunt Feng look after Feng Jiyue? After all, we are all family," Song Sinian said, glancing at Hao Li who was about to leave, and slowly opening his mouth.

His tone was so flat and emotionless that one couldn’t detect any particular feeling, but his words clearly sided with the Feng family.

Hao Li became excited at once, turning her head to look at Song Sinian, but his expression remained calm, as if nothing had happened at all.

However, with his words, it was as good as an imperial edict!

Who didn’t know that aside from Old Master Song, the person whose words carried the most weight was Song Sinian?

Now that he had spoken, how could Xiao Jinglan possibly refuse?

Xiao Jinglan’s brows also furrowed, and she didn’t expect Song Sinian to say something that sounded so reasonable.

But why was this matter targeted at her?

Was it just because Hao Li had just spoken up?

She looked at Song Sinian, puzzled, and then heard him speak again, "Grandfather has asked you to handle the hospital affairs, and he hopes that you won’t let him down."

Xiao Jinglan, no matter how dissatisfied, had to swallow all her complaints.

She took a deep breath in secret, maintaining a forced smile on her face as she said, "I understand, it’s a minor matter that I will surely handle well."

"That’s good."

"..."

"..."

After Xiao Jinglan and Hao Li had both left, Lu Zhaozhao reached out her small hand and tugged at Song Sinian, smilingly said, "Mr. Song, why did you ask Xiao Jinglan to take care of Feng Jiyue?"

Song Sinian placed a peeled sugar tangerine into Lu Zhaozhao’s mouth, then spoke indifferently, "Don’t you wish to see those two clash with each other?"

Lu Zhaozhao’s eyes suddenly widened, had she been exposed?

Song Sinian looked at her shocked expression and couldn’t help but laugh softly, "I’ve said before, I will help you with anything you want to do."

Saying so, he stuffed another tangerine segment into Lu Zhaozhao’s mouth, and after watching her dazed look, he kissed her on the eyes.

Lu Zhaozhao came to her senses, looked at Song Sinian, and pursed her lips, "Mr. Song, you... are really too good."

Song Sinian folded the tangerine peel in his hand, and with a teasing look in his eyes, he looked at Lu Zhaozhao, "So, what reward do you plan to give me, my Mrs. Song?"

"Uh..." Lu Zhaozhao noticed the clear predatory look in Song Sinian’s eyes, and swallowed subconsciously.

Why did she always feel that her sweet, milky husband had turned into a wolf cub?

The very fierce kind, at that.

Especially when Song Sinian looked at her with that gaze, she had a premonition that she wouldn’t be able to get out of bed and walk for days.

"How about I knit you a scarf?" Lu Zhaozhao cautiously made a promise to Song Sinian.

He should like a scarf hand-knitted by her, right?

Unexpectedly, Song Sinian rejected her without a second thought, "I don’t want a scarf."

Lu Zhaozhao’s eyebrows raised slightly, suddenly feeling a little downcast.

He didn’t like it?

Although Lu Zhaozhao did not expect Song Sinian to have his own preferences, she had rarely taken the initiative to personally make something for Song Sinian, and he had refused without even thinking, which hurt her a little...
