After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 383 - 381: Then What Cooperation Do We Need?
Chapter 383: Chapter 381: Then What Cooperation Do We Need?
"The knitting needles are too sharp, you could get hurt easily,"
Song Sinian saw her downcast little face and knew without thinking what the little one was pondering.
Although he used to struggle to understand emotions, he could still guess from her logic.
Now that he could understand most of her emotions, he was even clearer about what her little face was trying to express.
Lu Zhaozhao’s little face flushed, and she muttered discontentedly, "Those are knitting needles, not skewers, how could they hurt someone?"
Song Sinian knew that convincing Lu Zhaozhao wouldn’t be easy, but there was another way...
He lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. Seeing she did not resist much, he breathed heavily, lifted his hand to clasp the back of her neck, and suddenly exerted force to pull her in for a deep kiss, with one hand caressing her round and delicate shoulder...
It took Lu Zhaozhao a good while to regain the freedom to breathe on her own, laying limp in Song Sinian’s arms.
She hit his shoulder with her little hand indignantly, complaining, "I’m still a patient, Mr. Song!"
"Mhm, I know, so I’m just collecting some interest for now."
"Bad guy..."
"..."
Though Song Sinian did not speak, the gentle vibrations from his chest still revealed his stifled laughter.
Indeed, Mr. Song of their household had learned some bad tricks.
At the same moment, Hao Li, who had returned to the ward, had an extremely unpleasant expression on her face.
Since Feng Jiaye was still sleeping, Hao Li did not disturb him, but just sat back on her own bed, thinking about how to deal with the current situation.
Xiao Jinglan, now relying on her good relationship with Lu Zhaozhao, wanted to regain control over the Song Family. She must stop her at all costs.
Her relationship with Lu Zhaozhao had already soured, and trying to ingratiate herself with her would probably not be so easy.
Moreover, with Xiao Jinglan around, who knew what she had been telling Lu Zhaozhao about her.
The path through Lu Zhaozhao was now a dead end.
She had to find another way.
Suddenly, there was movement from the bed next to her.
As Feng Jiaye stirred, Hao Li immediately jumped off her bed.
Although both she and Feng Jiaye had been beaten, most of her injuries were on her face, with quite a few teeth knocked out, and her body only had more bruises without any damage to her internal organs.
In contrast, besides the reopened surgery wound on his leg, Feng Jiaye also suffered fractures in another leg and arm.
Seeing Feng Jiaye’s suspended arm and leg felt more painful to Hao Li than if she had been killed.
"How do you feel, Jiaye? Where does it hurt, want me to call the doctor to check again?"
As Hao Li spoke, her eyes started to redden.
Feng Jiaye was already in considerable pain all over his body. Seeing Hao Li about to cry, he glared at her irritably, "Where did you go just now? Why did it take you so long to come back?"
"I went to Lu Zhaozhao’s ward. That little bitch was admitted to the hospital yesterday, wasn’t she? I went to check on her today," Hao Li’s mood worsened as she recalled that their beating in the restroom yesterday happened because they went to see Lu Zhaozhao.
They also had no idea who they had offended, with all the punching and kicking they endured.
If it had been before, she would immediately suspect Lu Zhaozhao.
But since their hospitalization, the mother and daughter often had conflicts with other patients and their families.
This wasn’t the first or second time they had been attacked in the hospital.
Therefore, Xiao Jinglan couldn’t be sure who had attacked them.
Feng Jiaye looked coldly at Hao Li and muttered, "What were you doing there? With that time, you’d have been better off urging Mr. Song to investigate who gave us the black eye yesterday."
Every time Feng Jiaye thought about the beating he had suffered the day before, he was filled with anger.
Before he had come to Shangjing, his life wasn’t on the level of the super-rich, but at least he had everything he wanted.
He was the sole heir of the Feng family; his father, mother, grandfather, and grandmother would acquiesce to his every request.
But after his arrival in Shangjing, not only had that bitch Lu Zhaozhao beaten him up, but every single day he spent in the hospital resulted in another beating.
Even a trip to the restroom could turn into a beating over some trivial dispute.
Now, for no reason at all, he and Hao Li were stuffed into a toilet.
How could he stand for this?
He wouldn’t rest until he found the person who had beaten him!
He would tear them limb from limb!
In the Beijing Circle, he was still Song Sinian’s cousin, and with his influence, he refused to believe that he could ever be the one at a disadvantage.
Seeing Feng Jiaye fuming, Hao Li hastened to soothe him, "Jiaye, the reason I went out was precisely to deal with this matter. Yesterday, while you were asleep, Old Master Song handed the investigation over to that old mare Xiao Jinglan."
"What? Xiao Jinglan?"
The very mention of the name caused Feng Jiaye’s brow to furrow.
He had heard of this woman a long time ago.
Back when his family had been in Shangjing, Xiao Jinglan had never missed an opportunity to make life difficult for the Feng family.
Otherwise, following the death of Feng Xiran, the Feng family would not have struggled so much in the Beijing Circle.
It was all Xiao Jinglan’s fault!
They had only just managed to return to the circle by capitalizing on the opportunity of Song Sinian’s marriage, and now was that wretched woman going to pull her old tricks again?
Thinking this way, Feng Jiaye couldn’t help but look even more troubled, "Xiao Jinglan has always been our enemy. Is Mr. Song asking her to handle the investigation just to embarrass us?"
"No, no, no," Hao Li didn’t even let Feng Jiaye finish his rant before interrupting, "I don’t think so. Mr. Song doesn’t care for Xiao Jinglan anymore. If she weren’t on fairly good terms with Lu Zhaozhao, Mr. Song probably wouldn’t bother with her at all."
Lu Zhaozhao?
Merely hearing this woman’s name made Feng Jiaye feel a throbbing pain.
Lying in the hospital bed these past days, that part of his body hadn’t risen in the mornings at all.
The excruciating pain from that day made his heart race every time he thought about it, let alone feel any other urge.
He was painfully aware that, both physically and psychologically, that woman Lu Zhaozhao had dealt him a severe blow!
He would never let Lu Zhaozhao off the hook!
But right now, he couldn’t do anything about Lu Zhaozhao. Even if she was no longer held in high regard by Song Sinian, she was still Song Sinian’s wife.
The Song family would not allow an outsider to insult her.
But what if she wasn’t anymore?
Feng Jiaye’s eyes narrowed, "Xiao Jinglan is seeking a partnership with Lu Zhaozhao, aren’t you going to find someone to collaborate with?"
Hao Li immediately felt troubled, "There are only Mr. Song, Song Sinian, and Lu Zhaozhao in the Song Family. Excluding Lu Zhaozhao, neither Song Sinian nor Mr. Song are the cooperating kind..."
If they could just get on good terms with these two, who would need a partnership?
Seeing Hao Li fail to understand, Feng Jiaye frowned and spoke with dissatisfaction, "Lu Zhaozhao is only worth partnering with because she gained status by marrying Song Sinian. If there are other women by Song Sinian’s side, do you think Lu Zhaozhao’s status would still matter? Even if Xiao Jinglan has a good relationship with her, it’s pointless!"
