After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 401 - 399: Which Look Is That?
Chapter 401: Chapter 399: Which Look Is That?
Song Sinian looked at the message on his phone, his black eyes squinting in the depth of the night.
He turned and glanced once more at Lu Zhaozhao, who had already fallen asleep, then after a slight hesitation, he typed a line on his phone, "I can tell you where the person is, but you have to leave a survivor."
He didn’t want the scumbag who had harmed Lu Zhaozhao to die so easily.
He wanted him to atone for what he had done for the rest of his life.
"No problem, I’m not so merciful as to let him off easily," Xia Wenmo replied quickly with a message.
At first, when Xia Wenmo learned that Lu Zhaozhao was his sister, he was very dissatisfied with his brother-in-law, Song Sinian.
Their family’s cherished darling had married another man without ever feeling the warmth of familial affection.
He had a tough time accepting that.
Later, he had inquired about Song Sinian and disliked everything about this unemotional man.
But recent events made him feel that only Song Sinian could provide Lu Zhaozhao with enough security by marrying her.
Song Sinian was extremely obsessive about Lu Zhaozhao, and for a while, he worried that his obsession would affect their relationship, but the reality was quite the opposite.
It was precisely because of Song Sinian’s obsession that whatever happened, he would steadfastly stand by Lu Zhaozhao’s side regardless of right or wrong.
He even felt somewhat glad that Song Sinian had such a personality.
Although when it came to stealing his sister, he was a bit annoyed...
Thinking this, Xia Wenmo sent another message to Song Sinian, "Let’s not let Zhaozhao know about this; after all, we are now in the same boat."
Song Sinian looked at Xia Wenmo’s message and snorted softly.
If it weren’t for Lu Zhaozhao, he wouldn’t bother being on the same boat with anyone.
However... if the issue with Lu Dagui came to light one day, having someone else to take the blame wouldn’t be so bad.
Song Sinian’s fingertips gently stroked the screen, and he quickly sent a two-character response, "Understood."
Once he received Xia Wenmo’s reply, he placed the phone back on the bedside.
When Lu Zhaozhao had fainted due to her traumatic memories, he had wanted to settle the account with Lu Dagui.
But that man had already been thrown overseas.
He couldn’t leave Lu Zhaozhao behind and go overseas alone, so he would have to bring him back.
Although he trusted his subordinates’ abilities, there was no telling if Lu Dagui would cause trouble from within.
Even though Lu Dagui was not capable of much, a person with no hope for the future could do anything crazy.
He wouldn’t take such a risk.
It just so happened that Xia Wenmo wanted to take over this matter, so he was naturally happy to be relieved of the burden.
Xia Wenmo was Lu Zhaozhao’s brother, and using his own words, he definitely would not let him off easily; thus, handing over this matter to him, Song Sinian felt at ease.
All he needed to do was to stay by his wife’s side every day...
The next morning, the Xia Family’s living room was noisy.
Avril sat on the couch, crying her eyes out.
"Aunt Wen, you must seek justice for me, Xia Wenyan is really too bullying, wuu wuu wuu..."
As she spoke, her crying grew louder.
Wen Qingyu’s head ached from the noise; she raised her hand to press against her temple and then looked at Avril to ask, "What exactly happened, stop crying and clarify."
She knew that her youngest son had always been somewhat disengaged, but to see Avril cry like this, she was also a bit curious.
Avril wiped the tears from her cheeks, "Aunt Wen, I know I’ve done a lot to anger you before, but that’s no reason for Xia Wenyan to bully me. After the way he treated me, how am I supposed to go on living?"
What did "that way" mean exactly?
Wen Qingyu was completely in the dark.
Today she was the only one at home. She had intended to go to the Song Family to find Lu Zhaozhao, but before she even left the house, Avril had blocked her way inside.
Although Wen Qingyu did not understand what Avril meant, she still slowly began to speak, "So, what do you want Lao Si to do? Apologize to you?"
"No need for him to apologize to me." Avril shook her head gently, her voice breaking.
Wen Qingyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, still somewhat puzzled. Had Avril suddenly become sensible?
As she wondered, Avril’s next sentence almost made Wen Qingyu spit blood.
"I don’t want his apology, I want him to marry me."
Wen Qingyu’s eyes nearly bulged out, "What did you just say?"
Avril wanted Xia Wenyan to marry her?
Recalling Avril’s claim that Xia Wenyan had bullied her, her mind exploded.
Xia Wenyan usually wasn’t the brightest, but to fail to use his brain at such a time?
He had actually bullied Avril?
Was he blind?
Wen Qingyu pressed her temples with her hand, feeling completely overwhelmed, "Avril, you need to tell me clearly, what exactly happened between you two?"
Although she found Xia Wenyan unreliable, she could not believe he would do such a thing.
Was there some misunderstanding?
Avril was well-prepared for Wen Qingyu’s skepticism and immediately burst into loud sobs, "Aunt Wen, do you not believe me? Is that why you’re asking? If you don’t believe me, you can call Xia Wenyan back and ask him."
Wen Qingyu’s brows knotted instantly. Seeing how adamant Avril was, her heart sank.
Could it be that Xia Wenyan really did something outrageous?
Otherwise, why would Avril be so certain?
Avril saw through Wen Qingyu’s thoughts.
She wasn’t worried about Xia Wenyan facing her after returning to the Xia Family.
What worried her more was the possibility of Xia Wenyan disappearing altogether; in that case, even if she wanted to sling mud at him, it would be difficult.
Pei Huai almost always accompanied Xia Wenyan, and she had no opportunity to be alone with him.
But if Xia Wenyan returned home to the Xia Family, it would be different; she could stay over amidst everyone’s ignorance and stir up trouble undercover.
If she stayed just one day at the Xia Family, Wen Qingyu would never allow Xia Wenyan to continue gallivanting outside.
By then, with Xia Wenyan also staying at the Xia Family, her chances to act against him would multiply.
Thinking of this, Avril couldn’t help but curl the corners of her mouth. What did it matter if all of this was a lie?
As long as she insisted on being bullied by Xia Wenyan, no one could do anything to her.
Her parents were on good terms with the Xia Family; out of respect for her parents, Wen Qingyu would investigate thoroughly.
She wasn’t worried about lacking opportunities to act against Xia Wenyan.
Wen Qingyu looked at Avril, troubled, and after hesitating, she slowly said, "I’ll have this rascal come back now; you stop crying..."
