Chapter 240: Chapter 240: This Mr. Song From Their Family… Chapter 240: Chapter 240: This Mr. Song From Their Family… If she had known earlier how useful Lu Zhaozhao was, she wouldn’t have discarded this card so soon.

In the end, it was because Xia Wenjin was so useless that Lu Zhaozhao seemed better.

Cao Mei wasn’t oblivious, but the more she thought about it, the harder it was for her to accept.

Why couldn’t her child make it?

Why couldn’t Xia Wenjin?

She took a deep breath, “Sir, things have come to this…”
“Things have come to this, so think of a way, aren’t mothers supposed to be bound to their children by unbreakable bonds? Find a way to coax her.”

“…”
Cao Mei’s expression suddenly turned ugly.

Xia Wenjin was still here, and Lu Dagui was speaking like this right in front of her.

Cao Mei immediately looked at Xia Wenjin nervously but saw that she was just looking down at her phone, seemingly unaffected.

She secretly heaved a sigh of relief, then whispered to Lu Dagui, “Sir, let’s take our time to plan on this matter. Zhaozhao has been busy recently and probably doesn’t have much time.”

Lu Dagui glanced at her, “If you don’t reach out to her actively, how could she possibly have time?”

Cao Mei pursed her lips, “I, I understand.”

She wanted to end this topic quickly, at least not to continue in front of Xia Wenjin.

Fortunately, Lu Dagui just glanced at her and then fell silent, allowing Cao Mei to secretly sigh in relief.

But what she didn’t know was that Xia Wenjin had already heard everything they said.

Ever since she heard from Cao Mei about the problems with the Lu Family’s mines, Lu Dagui’s attitude towards her had worsened every day.

She knew that if things continued this way, he would soon try to reach out to Lu Zhaozhao again, but was that woman so easy to fool?

She couldn’t help but sneer inwardly.

Her fingers quickly typed out a message on her phone.

“Do you have some free time recently? Can we go out for a drink?”

Xia Wenjin looked at the name “Justin” on the chat box and couldn’t help but frown.

She then sent another message, “I was framed in the matter with Xiao Mo on the set before. Someone had tampered with my drink, and Xiao Mo was also a victim in this. We were forced into a marriage because of public opinion, can you believe me?”

After sending these two messages, she immediately sent a few crying emojis, waiting for Justin’s reply.

Justin replied quickly, “I believe Miss Xia, but things have already been settled, and I hope you can move on soon.”

Seeing the speed of Justin’s responses, Xia Wenjin knew she still had a chance.

After all, her current identity was as a daughter of Lu Group, certainly better than Song Keren.

Before her incident, she was almost the first choice for marriage to Justin, all thanks to that bitch, Song Keren!

Xia Wenjin’s eyes narrowed, and she immediately sent another message, “I actually quite envy Song Keren, being able to marry such an outstanding person. Both Xiao Mo and I were forced, he’s not too happy either, and I don’t know what will happen in the future…”
She deliberately made her remarks ambiguous, as half of what she said was true.

The marriage between Xiao Mo and her was orchestrated by both the Lu Family and the Song Family, and they didn’t like each other, so divorce was inevitable.

If their relationship hadn’t been exposed online, she wouldn’t have married a man who had nothing!

This time, Justin didn’t reply too quickly.

Just as Xia Wenjin was considering whether to send him a few more messages, her phone finally vibrated slightly, “Not everyone can marry the person they love, but if I can offer Miss Xia some comfort, I am willing to be by Miss Xia’s side as a friend…”
A friend’s company?

Xia Wenjin’s mouth curved slightly, and soon it wouldn’t just be that.

She wanted to snatch him back from Song Keren’s hands!

The next day, when the sky was just barely lit, it began to drizzle.

It didn’t stop until around 9 AM.

The air was moist, and there was a rotting smell from dead leaves pressed into the soil.

The post-rain wind made the already cool temperature drop even further.

Lu Zhaozhao groggily climbed out from under the covers that morning, but the chill from the slightly open window made her dive back in.

She had completely forgotten how she had come back last night, only remembering that she had fallen asleep in a daze, then… then she couldn’t remember anything that happened after.

But she could still clearly remember what had happened before.

Lu Zhaozhao’s cheeks flushed as she tossed and turned in the bed wrapped in her blanket.

But she abruptly stopped after just one roll.

Due to the limited space yesterday, and having tousled too fiercely, her whole body felt like it had been forced through a couple hours of anaerobic exercise; not a single muscle was without soreness.

She flopped back down on the bed with a slap and immediately wanted to lie flat again.

“Thump, thump, thump!”

Suddenly, someone knocked on the bedroom door, and Aunt Qian’s voice timely rang out, “Ma’am, are you awake?”

Lu Zhaozhao’s head popped out from under the covers and she responded towards the door, “Awake, awake!”

She sneaked a glance at her phone on the bedside, which strikingly displayed 9:15.

Lu Zhaozhao pouted, she really overslept today.

She slowly crawled out of bed to find herself wearing a set of clean and fragrant pajamas.

Her body also smelled nice, she must have already taken a bath.

With that thought, Lu Zhaozhao’s heart softened a bit.

This Mr. Song of their family…

Really, she didn’t know whether to find him adorable or annoying.

“Ma’am, there is a guest downstairs who says he’s your colleague from the show crew,” Aunt Qian’s voice came again.

“Do you want me to ask him to leave?”

Lu Zhaozhao’s eyebrows lifted as she changed clothes before stepping out of the room, “A colleague from the show crew, did he mention his name?”

Her colleagues from “Let’s Eat! Cottage” seemed to only include her fourth brother, Pei Huai, Du Miao’er, and Yin Zhuhai.

Or possibly those two directors who came last time?

Regardless, it couldn’t be Song Keren.

Because if it were Song Keren who had come, Aunt Qian definitely wouldn’t refer to him as a “guest.”

She would probably not even inform her and just send the person away.

To Aunt Qian, both Song Keren and Xiao Jinglan were the same level of trash, no need for sorting.

Aunt Qian shrugged, “He didn’t say, only mentioned that you would know once you see him, and if you don’t want to meet, I can ask him to leave now.”

She had originally wanted to ask Sinian first, but thought better of it since the visitor was ultimately Lu Zhaozhao’s guest, and if it were a friend, informing Sinian first might not be appropriate.

Lu Zhaozhao waved a hand at Aunt Qian, “Aunt Qian, no need to go through the trouble, I’ll go downstairs and check.”

Regardless of who it was, the difference was not significant to her.

She was more curious about why the person had come looking for her.

With this in mind, Lu Zhaozhao followed Aunt Qian down the stairs, but the moment she saw the figure sitting in the living room, her brows instantly furrowed.

Why had he come?
