After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 438 - 436: Only I Can Be Harsh to My Own Wife
Chapter 438: Chapter 436: Only I Can Be Harsh to My Own Wife
Xia Wenqing’s brows raised slightly as he couldn’t help but look towards Song Sinian standing beside him.
Indeed, when it came to ruthlessness, Song Sinian was enough to take the cake, even going so far as to beat people up at their doors.
Tsk tsk... thinking about it, it was indeed quite thrilling.
Truly, as long as Song Sinian wasn’t his enemy, scheming with him was always a blast!
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
Xia Wenqing’s phone suddenly vibrated; he took it out and glanced at it, frowning instantly.
Just as he was about to reply, as if he remembered something, he put his phone back.
Xia Wenqing looked at Song Sinian again, "If there’s nothing pressing here, I’ll take Zhenzhen back with me later. There’s still a lot to handle at the company."
...
Song Sinian didn’t respond to Xia Wenqing, instead, he just stared at him steadily.
Suddenly feeling somewhat guilty under Song Sinian’s gaze, Wenqing cleared his throat, "If there are other matters, we can still discuss them."
Song Sinian, resting his chin on his hand, looked at Xia Wenqing again before finally speaking slowly, "There’s nothing else. If you are done next door, take Xu Zhenzhen back with you."
His tone was flat, showing no emotion, but Xia Wenqing always felt as if he was being seen through.
This feeling annoyed him, especially since the person seeing through him was his brother-in-law, which made him even more irritable.
But having said so himself, he naturally had no reason to stay any longer.
When Xia Wenqing reached next door, Lu Zhaozhao, Xu Zhenzhen, and Wen Qingyu had already chosen their people.
The three were chattering about this time’s plan.
Xia Wenqing cleared his throat, "Ahem... have you guys decided?"
On hearing his voice, all three turned their heads toward the door.
"Second brother, what brings you here?" Xu Zhenzhen was the first to speak. Seeing it was Xia Wenqing, her eyes visibly brightened.
Xia Wenqing sighed, walking into the room, "If not for the grand, earth-shattering plan you three are plotting?"
Just thinking about what the three of them were teaming up to do, Xia Wenqing couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on.
Back when his mother stirred up trouble at home, with his father looking after her, he never felt this much pressure.
Indeed, outside of his own wife, the pressure really wasn’t so intense.
Xu Zhenzhen suddenly felt a bit embarrassed and tugged at the corner of her mouth.
At that moment, she and Wen Qingyu had hit it off instantly, never anticipating that Xia Wenqing would get involved.
But he already knew she was Lu Zhaozhao’s bodyguard; he probably wouldn’t say anything, right?
After all, Xia Wenqing was so fond of his sister.
Wen Qingyu propped her chin, looking at Xu Zhenzhen then at Xia Wenqing, and muttered discontentedly, "This has nothing to do with Zhenzhen. If you’re upset about something, take it out on me."
Xia Wenqing’s mouth twitched, "Mom, you have to say that with conscience. When have I ever been upset with you? And dare I even be upset? If I dare, wouldn’t Dad just skin me alive?"
The men of the Xia family always irrationally adored their wives.
One could only scold one’s own wife.
As for others, you dare to be fierce with one and see what happens? In minutes, you could knock their heads off!
Wen Qingyu shrugged, feeling guilty, "I was just worried about you being harsh on Zhenzhen..."
Lu Zhaozhao sat by, supporting her chin with both hands, watching her mom scold her brother with an air of serenity.
Seeing Xia Wenqing lose face, she couldn’t help but chuckle, "Mom, you can be at ease, how could my brother be the kind of person who bullies girls behind our backs?"
???
Xia Wenqing felt somewhat helpless listening to Lu Zhaozhao and Wen Qingyu singing in tune.
Got implied, thank you.
"Don’t worry, I won’t put the blame solely on Zhenzhen. I’m here to ask Zhenzhen to come back with me. There are still quite a few issues at work that haven’t been resolved." Xia Wenqing briefly explained the situation, giving the three people present a satisfactory answer.
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhenzhen immediately stood up from her position, "Is there a problem at the company?"
She remembered that when she left, there did not seem to be any thorny issues. Could it be that a problem arose during her absence?
Xu Zhenzhen thought carefully. It wasn’t impossible.
Xia Wenqing just softly "Hmm" and did not divulge more details.
Xu Zhenzhen assumed it was a complex issue, hence Xia Wenqing felt it inconvenient to discuss it there.
"Shall we head back now?" Xu Zhenzhen suggested, moving towards Xia Wenqing.
She didn’t want her personal issues to delay work matters, especially since she did not want to gain a reputation for being negligent in front of Xia Wenqing.
Xia Wenqing nodded to Wen Qingyu and Lu Zhaozhao, "If there are any issues, the two of you remember to inform me in advance. As for Zhenzhen’s case... as long as it doesn’t affect work, it’s up to you guys."
"Alright, understood."
"Understood, understood."
Hearing their replies, Xia Wenqing finally felt at ease.
He turned around and left the hospital with Xu Zhenzhen.
As soon as they got in the car, Xu Zhenzhen eagerly began asking about the company’s issues. "Second brother, has there been a complicated job at the company?"
Xia Wenqing turned to look at Xu Zhenzhen, originally planning to find an excuse, but then he closed his mouth after thinking it over.
Seeing him hesitate, Xu Zhenzhen suddenly became anxious. Could it be that something serious had happened?
She thought about Song Sinian being recently hospitalized due to illness, the rumors about Lu Zhaozhao flying everywhere, and Song Group always being watched covetously in the Shangjing Circle, fearing that this time there really might be a big issue.
With that thought, Xu Zhenzhen clenched her fists tightly, took a deep breath, and turned to Xia Wenqing again, very seriously saying, "Second brother, just tell me, whatever it is, I can handle it."
"Um..."
Did he just say something terrifying?
Why does Xu Zhenzhen now look so deeply aggrieved?
Xia Wenqing couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, pulling out his phone from his pocket and handing it to Xu Zhenzhen, "Here, this is the problem you need to deal with now."
Xu Zhenzhen immediately took the phone, carefully examining it, only to find that the messages on Xia Wenqing’s phone were from Hao Jiayi.
[Lawyer Xia, I have a legal matter I would like to consult with you about, do you have time?]
[Also, Lawyer Liu has come to the firm saying it’s urgent to find you, she is at the firm now, wondering when will Lawyer Xia return?]
Xu Zhenzhen looked uncertainly at the phone in her hand, then turned back to Xia Wenqing, "So, this important work matter is... Hao Jiayi’s matter?"
