After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 430 - 428: Opened the Door to a New World...
Chapter 430: Chapter 428: Opened the Door to a New World...
Xu Zhenzhen was equally baffled, staring at the sudden appearance of her "great-nephew," plunged deep into shock.
She had indeed considered taking her relationship with Xia Wenqing a step further, but... the sudden leap in seniority was something she had never anticipated.
Wen Qingyu watched the pair’s exceptionally entertaining expressions with satisfaction and couldn’t help but snicker, "Who am I to cause a ruckus? I sincerely feel Zhenzhen and I hit it off, and I want to be sisters with her. What’s the problem?"
"..."
What’s the problem? The problem is huge!
Xia Wenqing felt like he was about to burst a blood vessel from the frustration his mother was causing.
He tugged at his stiff smile, forcing himself to find an excuse, "Zhenzhen and I share an office. Do you think it’s appropriate for my office assistant to suddenly become my aunt?"
Wen Qingyu blinked her eyes pensively and then nodded earnestly, "Indeed, that does seem a bit inappropriate."
Xia Wenqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, "So..."
"So, we’ll keep our roles separate!" Before Xia Wenqing could finish, Wen Qingyu blurted out, "You’ll still remain colleagues at work, but outside, Zhenzhen will be your aunt!"
"..."
"..."
Not just Xia Wenqing, even Xu Zhenzhen felt like crying.
How on earth did things develop into such a devilish situation?
Xia Wenqing pressed his temples with a slight headache and said, "Mom, even if you don’t consider me, think about Zhaozhao. Zhenzhen is Zhaozhao’s best friend. Just because you got a whim, her best friend suddenly becomes her aunt. Do you think she can handle it?"
"..."
Wen Qingyu was immediately silenced.
She really hadn’t thought it through—she was merely enjoying seeing her son at a disadvantage and hadn’t considered dragging her beloved daughter into this.
Seeing that Wen Qingyu didn’t respond, Xia Wenqing hurriedly continued, "Zhaozhao’s mood has been rather unstable lately. Sinian even handed over the task of handling the trending topic to me and Zhao Xi, so please don’t add to the chaos."
Wen Qingyu sighed lightly, seemingly still somewhat reluctant.
"Elder Brother, how is Zhaozhao doing today? Does she seem better?" Xu Zhenzhen couldn’t help but frown, a trace of worry sweeping through her eyes.
She was Lu Zhaozhao’s personal bodyguard and should have been by her side. If she had been there, Song Sinian might not have been injured while saving Lu Zhaozhao.
And she wouldn’t have ended up mentally breaking down because of Song Sinian’s injury.
Ultimately, it was her failure as a bodyguard.
Xia Wenqing immediately noticed Xu Zhenzhen’s emotions and promptly spoke, "Zhaozhao seems much better today. She even went for a walk with me. Even when Zhao Xi inadvertently mentioned the news trending outside, she could analyze the pros and cons calmly. So, you don’t need to worry too much. Besides, it’s not your fault for Zhaozhao’s emotional breakdown; the blame lies with Sun Qian."
"But... I indeed failed to protect Zhaozhao. That was my dereliction of duty." Xu Zhenzhen’s eyelids drooped, feeling she couldn’t overcome this hurdle.
She felt she had betrayed Lu Zhaozhao’s trust in her.
Listening to the conversation between Xia Wenqing and Xu Zhenzhen, Wen Qingyu raised her eyebrows slightly, "What responsibility does Zhenzhen have towards Zhaozhao?"
She was lost, failing to grasp what the two were really discussing.
Xia Wenqing was about to explain but heard Xu Zhenzhen speak first.
"Aunt, actually before I met Zhaozhao, I was personally appointed by Song Sinian as a bodyguard, mainly responsible for Zhaozhao’s safety at school."
She had already spoken to Lu Zhaozhao about it, so she felt there was no need to continue keeping it from Lu Zhaozhao’s family.
Moreover, Xia Wenqing already knew, so it wouldn’t hurt for Wen Qingyu to know as well.
Wen Qingyu was slightly astonished, "I didn’t expect the connection between you and Zhaozhao to be so mystical."
She chuckled lightly, lifted her hand, and gently patted Xu Zhenzhen’s small hand, reassuringly saying, "Zhenzhen, I know you’re a good kid, and I know you are genuinely friends with Zhaozhao, so you don’t need to blame yourself. I think what the youngest said is right; this really isn’t your fault. The ones at fault are those bad people, not you."
Xu Zhenzhen’s eyes reddened slightly, nearly unable to hold back her tears.
She had never thought that after telling the truth, Wen Qingyu would show her a friendly face.
After all, she was so protective of Lu Zhaozhao that if she knew she had failed to protect her as Lu Zhaozhao’s bodyguard, even if she didn’t take it out on her, she wouldn’t be happy.
She hadn’t expected Wen Qingyu not only to not blame her, but even to comfort her, which made Xu Zhenzhen feel even more guilty.
Seeing her distressed expression, Wen Qingyu simply reached out to embrace Xu Zhenzhen, gently patting her back.
Her gaze, however, turned towards Xia Wenqing, signaling with her eyes that he should change the topic and divert attention from this matter.
Wen Qingyu had liked this young girl ever since she and Xu Zhenzhen had teamed up to teach Feng Jiaye and Hao Li a lesson.
She had thought before that it would be nice if Xu Zhenzhen were her daughter-in-law, even contemplating setting her sons up with her, not expecting that her second son actually had good taste and favored Xu Zhenzhen.
She intended to give a little push, but almost ended up making her cry.
Xia Wenqing, seeing Wen Qingyu’s helpless demeanor, almost couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
He coughed lightly, "Zhenzhen, if you feel responsible, then help me deal with Xiao Jinglan and Hao Li. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhenzhen instantly perked up, "Really?"
Xia Wenqing nodded, "Yes."
Xu Zhenzhen’s eyes suddenly narrowed, a hint of danger flashing through, "So when do we start? Day or night, do we need to scout the location first?"
"..."
Xia Wenqing’s temples began to throb involuntarily, somewhat helplessly looking at Xu Zhenzhen.
He raised a hand and lightly knocked on her head, "Xu Zhenzhen, Xu Zhenzhen, you study law, you are in the Legal Department at Song Group, not the Security Department."
Xia Wenqing said this with a bit of a laugh and a cry.
He couldn’t help sighing, "Tell me, why did you study law in the first place, huh?"
"I..." Xu Zhenzhen began to feel a bit guilty.
She had just heard Xia Wenqing say they were going to deal with Xiao Jinglan and Hao Li and had subconsciously assumed it meant a physical confrontation—how could she have thought that Xia Wenqing’s idea of dealing involved legal measures?
Wen Qingyu disapprovingly looked at Xia Wenqing; indeed, there was a reason his son couldn’t catch up with such a good girl. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
She propped her chin and coolly said to Xia Wenqing, "Is there a possibility that studying law is meant for legally beating people?"
Xu Zhenzhen’s beautiful eyes suddenly widened quite a bit, and after a shocked look at Wen Qingyu, it was as if she had absorbed some grand revelation, her eyes sparkling.
So it could be like that?!
Indeed, your aunt is still your aunt, absolutely awesome!
Xia Wenqing’s mouth twitched, suddenly feeling like his mother had opened a new world for Xu Zhenzhen...
