After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 396 - 394: Just Listen Without Thinking

By the time the hospital security arrived, they found Xiao Jinglan and Hao Li both lying on the ground, incessantly crying out in pain.

The security quickly took them to the emergency department...

When Lu Zhaozhao heard that Xiao Jinglan had been hospitalized, she was completely shocked.

Especially when she heard that Xiao Jinglan was assaulted while with Hao Li, she was even more surprised.

She clearly understood why Hao Li and Feng Jiaye were beaten, but Xiao Jinglan was only there to investigate the matter; how did she end up being beaten too?

Moreover, as far as she knew, Xiao Jinglan was the first one beaten.

Although she wanted to beat Xiao Jinglan herself, who had actually struck the first blow?

It couldn’t have been Song Sinian.

If he wanted to deal with Xiao Jinglan, he would have done it long ago, not waiting until now.

As Lu Zhaozhao was pondering who might be behind the assault, the door to the hospital room was suddenly knocked.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Her eyebrows twitched slightly as she looked toward the door.

"I heard you were sick, so I came to see you." A woman at the door, carrying a flower basket, walked in, looked around the room, and then placed the basket on the bedside table next to Lu Zhaozhao.

Lu Zhaozhao stared unwaveringly at the woman in front of her, "Why are you here?"

She was bewildered as she looked at Avril completely upset; if she remembered correctly, Wen Qingyu had previously said that he had already sent Avril back.

She thought she would never see her again in her country, but unexpectedly, she appeared in her hospital room.

That was absurd.

Avril arched her eyebrows, glanced at Lu Zhaozhao, and with an air of disregard said, "Didn’t I just tell you? I heard you were sick, so I came to see you."

Saying that, she crossed her arms and sat down on a chair inside Lu Zhaozhao’s room.

Her gaze occasionally swept over Lu Zhaozhao, but her peripheral vision kept drifting toward the hospital room door.

Lu Zhaozhao immediately realized that Avril’s visit was a pretense—she was actually here to ambush someone.

Before Lu Zhaozhao could figure out whom Avril was waiting for today, someone knocked on the door once again, and when she saw who it was, her heart sank.

It was Xia Wenyan.

"Zhaozhao, did you miss Brother Four?" Xia Wenyan asked with a smile as he entered.

He took a few steps inside the room, but when his eyes landed on Avril, he froze.

Xia Wenyan’s eyebrows furrowed tightly, and he eyed Avril warily, "What are you doing here?"

This woman appearing at this time, could she be here to harm his precious sister?

That thought made Xia Wenyan even more vigilant toward Avril.

"I warn you, keep your distance from my sister, or you’ll regret it! Don’t think that just because your family has some connections with the Xia Family, we won’t hold you accountable!"

If someone harmed his sister, there would be no mercy.

Pei Huai followed behind Xia Wenyan, and when he saw Avril, a bad premonition clearly flashed through his mind.

Especially when he saw Lu Zhaozhao’s concerned eyes, he felt a surge of irritation well up inside him.

Avril stood up straight, her gaze intense as she uttered each word to Xia Wenyan, "Xia Wenyan, let’s talk, just the two of us, alone."

"No!"

"No!"

Pei Huai and Lu Zhaozhao almost spoke in unison,

"It’s absolutely not okay for Xia Wenyan and Avril to be alone together."

Avril’s brows furrowed immediately as she looked at Lu Zhaozhao and Pei Huai with dissatisfaction and said coldly, "I have something to discuss with Xia Wenyan, what right do you have to stop me?"

"I’ll listen to my sister and Brother Pei, what’s it to you?" Xia Wenyan retorted without a second thought.

Although he didn’t know why Pei Huai and Lu Zhaozhao wouldn’t let him be alone with Avril, both of them were very important to him, and whatever they said was surely for his own good.

Just listen blindly, that’s all.

Upon seeing this, Lu Zhaozhao finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, her brother wasn’t stupid to the core.

Avril was practically furious with Xia Wenyan.

She had no idea before that the Xia Family’s influence was so formidable; she didn’t even know that the legendary XJ Corporation was the Xia Family’s.

Had she known earlier how wealthy and influential the Xia Family was, she would have gotten along well with any of the brothers, no matter which one she married; her life would be carefree hereafter.

After she was sent back previously, her father had severely scolded her.

She pleaded for a long time before her dad agreed to let her come back to the country.

Having burned bridges with the Xia Family before, she now had no path for retreat.

To reconnect with the Xia Family, her only option was to start from the most naive, Xia Wenyan.

Xia Wenjue, Xia Wenqing, and Xia Wenmo, the three brothers, were too cunning, and she stood no chance against them.

Not to mention outsmarting them to marry her.

But Xia Wenyan was different, just wait for an opportunity to sneak into his good graces, and let the Xia Family know; constrained by the relations between the two families, the Xia Family might even push Xia Wenyan to marry her in anger.

Thus, her sole purpose for coming back to the country was to secure Xia Wenyan.

Avril, feeling a bit of a headache, looked at him, and then glanced at Lu Zhaozhao and Pei Huai, "I have a very important private matter to discuss with you, it’s inconvenient with others around."

Xia Wenyan’s face revealed his speechlessness.

He took a step back, "Our relationship isn’t close, what important private matters could there be to discuss?"

As an artist, although he didn’t carry the burden of a public idol, he still understood something about the professional integrity of an idol, which was to keep a distance from women.

Avril was a bit annoyed by his attitude.

She frowned, "My family and your family have always had a good relationship, you should know that. Both families hope to become closer through marriage, so I..."

"Stop right there, my family has no intention of becoming closer through marriage," Xia Wenyan interrupted without thinking. "Don’t impose your intentions on the elders of the two families."

Previously, because they had Xia Wenjin, who was both demanding and detestable.

Xia Wenjin matched Avril one-on-one; naturally, neither family disliked the other.

But now, having one of their brothers marry Avril was absolutely impossible.

Let alone none of the brothers liked Avril, such a home-wrecker, if married into their family, could spell disaster for generations.

The Xia Family had no intention of self-destruction.

Avril’s face darkened immediately.

She was used to giving cold faces at the Xia Family’s, and now having been repeatedly rebutted by Xia Wenyan, her patience had long vanished.

If not for her position of disadvantage now, she would have already exploded.

"Xia Wenyan, you’ll have to get married sooner or later, isn’t it better to marry someone you know well?"
