After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 423 - 421: How can he say such a thing without a conscience?

Chapter 423: Chapter 421: How can he say such a thing without a conscience?

As long as he could return to ZD country, he didn’t care about anything else.

After marrying Avril, couldn’t he just deal with her however he wanted?

Meanwhile, Pei Huai and Xia Wenyan, who had left earlier, returned to the car.

Pei Huai’s silence made Xia Wenyan’s heart thump wildly.

He cautiously glanced at Pei Huai, "Brother Pei, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have used you as a shield earlier, nor should I have been so arrogant..."

...

Pei Huai said nothing, only began to drive on his own.

Now, Xia Wenyan was even more panicked.

After carefully ransacking his brain for a while, he turned to Pei Huai and said word by word, "Earlier, I thought Brother Pei’s acting was top-notch, and being an industry leader in the entertainment circle, that’s why I was so brazen. I promise I won’t do that again, Brother Pei, don’t be mad, Brother Pei, I really made a mistake, Brother Pei."

The three consecutive Brother Peis from Xia Wenyan left Pei Huai somewhat speechless as he curled his lips. He glanced at Xia Wenyan and sighed helplessly, "Don’t think you can get away with it by buttering me up."

Hearing Pei Huai’s voice, Xia Wenyan immediately stopped panicking.

Pei Huai was willing to talk to him; there was still hope.

He immediately curved his handsome peach-blossom eyes, looking at Pei Huai with a fawning face, "How could it be flattery? Who doesn’t know that my Brother Pei is a man of high moral integrity, the industry leader, and the pinnacle of appearance!"

"Enough with the nonsense here," Pei Huai said, lifting his hand to rub Xia Wenyan’s head, before he admonished, "I didn’t let you keep talking just now because that man is not simple."

Xia Wenyan pouted, "What’s so unusual about him? Don’t tell me you know him, Brother Pei?"

Pei Huai nodded, "I do know him; I’m the one who arranged for him to be there."

He had no intention of deceiving Xia Wenyan. After all, a little investigation would reveal who was behind this.

Pei Huai had no intent to conceal it.

He was worried that Avril’s parents would find something wrong with the man marrying Avril and would certainly investigate.

If they couldn’t find anything, they would inevitably blame the groom.

He didn’t want Xia Wenyan to take the fall.

So from the moment he began to speak, Pei Huai intended to lay all the cards on the table.

Xia Wenyan looked at Pei Huai dumbfounded for a long time without saying a word.

Pei Huai thought his words had frightened Xia Wenyan, a hint of darkness flickering in his eyes before he slowly spoke up, "Do you think I was too harsh?"

"Absolutely harsh, you actually arranged such a good man for Avril?! Don’t you know she and I have a feud?" Xia Wenyan stared at Pei Huai discontentedly, unable to refrain from complaining.

Pei Huai suddenly froze; he finally grasped Xia Wenyan’s point.

With a slight lift of his eyebrows and a bit of helplessness in his eyes, he clarified, "That man is not as good as you think. He is from ZD country, where they practice polygamy, and after marriage, a wife becomes the husband’s property."

Upon hearing that "after marriage, the wife becomes the property of the husband," Xia Wenyan’s eyes suddenly lit up, even appearing a bit eager as he looked at Pei Huai.

Then cheekily, he chirped, "So if we go there to get married, Brother Pei, would you belong to me?"

While saying it, he even smugly arched his eyebrows.

Pei Huai pushed his head down with his hand, "In ZD country, two men together will end up in jail. By that point, forget about me belonging to you, whether we’ll still be alive is the question."

In fact, just now, when Pei Huai heard Xia Wenyan say "would you belong to me," he really wanted to reply to him that from the moment he came back to life, he belonged to him alone.

Not only his person but his very life belonged to him, just that he didn’t know if he would accept it.

Pei Huai clenched the steering wheel tightly, suppressing the stirring in his heart, his words came out nonchalantly.

Seeing no reaction from Pei Huai, Xia Wenyan pouted, feeling somewhat disappointed.

He sat quietly in the passenger seat, much calmer than before.

Actually, since the moment he got into the car, he had been thinking about why he kissed Pei Huai in front of Avril and Farhad.

After much thought, he could only conclude one thing: he had fallen for Pei Huai.

Xia Wenyan remembered how he had vowed to find someone better than Pei Huai or he’d never be in a relationship.

But now, thinking about it, the best to him had always been Pei Huai.

He was truly defeated by his Brother Pei’s suit pants; what now?

It seemed like Brother Pei was quite oblivious, how could he woo him to become his real boyfriend?

What if Pei Huai didn’t like him?

What if, after he confessed, Pei Huai would never treat him well again and became someone else’s Brother Pei? Could he accept that?

The more Xia Wenyan thought, the more uncomfortable he felt, and in the end, he just sat in the passenger seat and emo’d.

Indeed, love and relationships really weren’t for him...

Early the next day, a lot of people visited the hospital ward where Song Sinian was staying.

Hao Li, hearing that Song Sinian had been stabbed, rushed over immediately.

She ran exuberantly to the entrance of the ward; as soon as she entered, she ran into Lu Zhaozhao who was about to leave.

The smile on Hao Li’s face hadn’t even had time to fade.

Lu Zhaozhao’s brow instantly furrowed.

Hao Li hastily coughed lightly, masking the embarrassment on her face, "Zhaozhao, how is Sinian doing now? Does he need me to come over and take care of him? After all, we are in the same hospital, you know?"

Lu Zhaozhao glanced at Hao Li without uttering a word; her expression remained wooden, betraying no hint of what she might be thinking.

Seeing her silent, Hao Li’s eyebrows arched in dissatisfaction, and she muttered, "No matter what, I’m still your aunt. Giving me the silent treatment like this, who are you trying to show that face to?"

"..."

Lu Zhaozhao just stared straight at her, with no intention of speaking.

Hao Li was getting annoyed now, and her voice involuntarily rose a few notches, "I’m telling you, Lu Zhaozhao... Ah!"

She didn’t even get the rest of her sentence out before her face was fiercely slapped by Lu Zhaozhao.

Hao Li stared at Lu Zhaozhao in disbelief, with a look as if she had just seen a ghost.

Lu Zhaozhao actually hit her...

She actually hit her?!?!

"You little bitc... Ah!" "Smack!" frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

"Ah!" "Smack!"

"Smack!" "Smack!" "Smack!"

...

Lu Zhaozhao completely ignored Hao Li’s shrieks, raised her hand and slapped her a dozen times in succession.

The crisp sounds even had a rhythm to them.

In an instant, Hao Li’s face was swollen.

Hao Li could no longer care whether her face looked good or not; she raised her arm to cover her face and made a run for it.

Just as she turned around, she ran into a human wall and before she could react, she was shoved back by that wall of people.

Hao Li couldn’t hold back any longer, breaking into curses, "Who the hell is the blind bastard blocking my way? Do you have a death wish?"

"Ms. Hao, you’d better open your eyes wide before you speak." A calm voice suddenly came through, causing Hao Li to shudder involuntarily.

She looked up and saw Zhao Xi and Old Master Song standing not too far away, and the human wall was the bodyguards brought by Old Master Song.

No wonder it felt so hard when she bumped into them.

Just as Hao Li was about to apologize, she saw Lu Zhaozhao walking over from behind.

Seeing this, she immediately pointed to her own face and complained to Old Master Song, "Old Master, look at my face. This is all because Lu Zhaozhao hit me. Has this woman gone mad? She... Ah!!!"

Hao Li didn’t get a chance to finish her sentence when Lu Zhaozhao’s small hand immediately grabbed her hair, and the raised hand started dancing on her face again.

"Smack!" "Smack!" "Smack!" "Smack!"

The loud smacks echoed in the empty corridor, rising and falling in turn with Hao Li’s screams, creating an unexpectedly harmonious rhythm.

Old Master Song was completely astounded; he never expected his granddaughter-in-law to have such a fearsome side!

Wasn’t this just too awesome?

He had always been worried that Lu Zhaozhao, delicate and petite, would be bullied when outside. It seemed now he had no reason to worry.

As long as his granddaughter-in-law could swing her arms to hit someone, nothing else mattered.

However, Old Master Song also noticed the abnormal attitude of Lu Zhaozhao, recalling the words Zhao Xi had said to him before coming to the hospital.

He couldn’t help but feel a bit of heartache for the poor child.

At first, Hao Li kept screaming, but seeing Old Master Song’s indifferent demeanor, she quickly pleaded for his intervention, "Old Master, you have to do something about Lu Zhaozhao, she’s completely disrespectful! She... Ah!!! She’s going to beat me to death. Hurry up and get her away from here!"

Upon hearing this, Old Master Song looked at Lu Zhaozhao, then turned his gaze to Hao Li, before he leisurely said, "Zhaozhao, a light beating is enough, don’t hurt your hand. Remember, health comes first, don’t trouble yourself..."

Hao Li felt like vomiting blood upon hearing this. Wasn’t she the one being hit?

Why did Old Master Song act as though his daughter-in-law was the one being bullied, warning her not to hurt her hand?

Was Old Master Song a devil?

How could he say such a thing in good conscience?

Seeing that there was no hope in seeking help from Old Master Song, Hao Li turned to pressuring Zhao Xi, "Zhao Xi! Aren’t you Sinian’s assistant? Can’t you see this woman going crazy? Why don’t you call the bodyguards to take her away?"

Zhao Xi shrugged his shoulders, wearing a look of helplessness, "She’s the wife of Song Group’s CEO, the only granddaughter-in-law of the Song Family. What am I compared to her, to call the bodyguards on her?"

"?!!!!"

Hao Li was utterly speechless.

Was she really going to be beaten to death here by Lu Zhaozhao?

At the thought, she suddenly deflated like a punctured ball.

"Stop hitting, please stop, I was wrong! Waaa..." Hao Li couldn’t control herself and broke into loud sobs.

Compared to being beaten to death in the hospital, she would rather apologize.

She would do it any way they wanted, just as long as the beating would stop.

Lu Zhaozhao was just too frightening; Hao Li couldn’t afford to provoke her.
