Chapter 314: Chapter 312: What Is She Thinking?
Xiao Jinglan and Xia Wenjin both detested each other to the point of grinding their teeth in hatred.
This might be a good method.
It just depended on who was more ruthless between Xiao Jinglan and Xia Wenjin. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓾𝒷.𝒸ℴ𝓂
As Lu Zhaozhao thought this, she took out her phone and sent a message to Song Sinian, "Mr. Song, I’ve discovered that Xiao Jinglan also fed Xia Wenjin poisonous cubilose. I want to use this incident to have them fight each other, what do you think?"
When Song Sinian received the message, Xia Wenqing had just entered his office.
He glanced up at Xia Wenqing and signaled him to wait for a while.
Xia Wenqing didn’t hesitate and sat down directly on the sofa.
The only person who could make Song Sinian spare time was Lu Zhaozhao, so waiting longer made no difference to him.
Song Sinian skimmed the content of the message and immediately replied to Lu Zhaozhao, "I support your idea on this matter, but we’ll discuss the specifics when we meet tonight."
Actually, after seeing the message, Song Sinian’s brain had rapidly reviewed all the potential dangers.
He could directly provide Lu Zhaozhao with a suitable plan.
But since this matter involved Lu Zhaozhao, he couldn’t be so rash without much consideration, which is why he gave her that kind of answer after careful thought.
Soon, he received a message of agreement from Lu Zhaozhao.
Only then did Song Sinian secretly breathe a sigh of relief and set his phone aside.
"Was that a message from Zhaozhao?" Xia Wenqing couldn’t help but blurt out as he saw Song Sinian approaching.
Song Sinian nodded, "She found out that Xiao Jinglan fed Xia Wenjin that poisoned cubilose."
He didn’t go on to talk about what Lu Zhaozhao wanted to do next.
Lu Zhaozhao confided in him, telling him everything.
To him, it didn’t matter whether Lu Zhaozhao was a good person or a bad one; even if she wanted to destroy the whole world, he wouldn’t blink an eye.
It was enough that she wished it.
But he wasn’t sure about the Xia Family.
What difference would it make even if they were his biological parents or blood-related brothers?
He didn’t want them to know the other side of Lu Zhaozhao; he alone knew that side of her, and that was enough.
Xia Wenqing’s eyebrows raised slightly, "Xiao Jinglan fed Xia Wenjin poisoned cubilose? What was she thinking? To poison her to death so Xiao Mo would marry another?"
Song Sinian shrugged, "Possibly, considering her son was cuckolded, it’s normal for her to hate Xia Wenjin."
Xiao Jinglan was determined to have Xiao Mo rise to power. With Xia Wenjin’s reputation being so tarnished, how could she be worthy of her son?
Xia Wenqing curled his lip, "True, for Xia Wenjin to end up like this is within expectations."
She had been arrogant and haughty since childhood, lacking the capacity to tolerate others.
As her older brother, he had always tried to protect her dignity behind the scenes, preventing her from being wronged.
But in the end, he never received a word of gratitude from her.
To say it wasn’t disheartening would be a lie.
Ever since he found out how maliciously Xia Wenjin had treated the never-met Lu Zhaozhao, he had lost all affection for her.
Some people were better let go of early, cutting losses promptly was the best strategy.
Taking a deep breath, Xia Wenqing went straight to the point, "Have you talked to Zhaozhao recently about a partnership dinner between our companies? Is she willing to attend?"
To be exact, is she willing to reveal her identity?
"Are you willing to become part of the Xia Family openly and honorably?"
Actually, when they entrusted this matter to Song Sinian, their entire family was very anxious.
They were terrified that their presumption might displease Lu Zhaozhao.
Song Sinian glanced at Xia Wenqing, his gaze indifferent, "She has no objections, just proceed with the previous arrangements."
Xia Wenqing visibly relaxed and then said, "My mom and the third and fourth went to handle Avril’s situation, and she ordered a dress for Zhaozhao before returning..."
As he spoke these words, his gaze stayed fixed on Song Sinian, as if he were worried that he would refuse.
However, from start to finish, his demeanor seemed rather nonchalant, as if there was not much of a reaction.
Yet, the more it was like this, the more anxious Xia Wenqing became.
Song Sinian was different from ordinary people; his lack of expression didn’t mean he had no opinion.
"Leave the evening gown matter to Xu Zhenzhen, and let her also attend the banquet," Song Sinian’s gaze swept over Xia Wenqing, "You tell Xu Zhenzhen about this."
"..."
Xia Wenqing didn’t expect Song Sinian to say such a thing and was somewhat stunned.
He had actually considered inviting Xu Zhenzhen as well, but his thoughts were somewhat different from Song Sinian’s.
He had only recently learned that Xu Zhenzhen was Lu Zhaozhao’s bodyguard at school.
It made sense for Lu Zhaozhao and Xu Zhenzhen to attend the banquet together, but somehow it felt a bit odd...
Xia Wenqing’s brow furrowed slightly, his gaze shifted to Song Sinian, only to meet his sharp, penetrating eyes.
His piercing look seemed as though it could see through everything.
Xia Wenqing felt inexplicably guilty and immediately agreed, "I, I will tell her as soon as I get back about the evening gown, and her attending the banquet won’t seem too out of place."
Song Sinian’s brow twitched slightly, his gaze sweeping Xia Wenqing’s face before ultimately remaining silent.
He could see that Xia Wenqing’s expression was off, but what that expression meant, he wasn’t sure.
He had wanted to ask Zhao Xi, who was by his side, directly, but ever since he had asked Zhao Xi in front of Old Master Song, he had been told that asking someone about their expression directly to their face isn’t very nice, so he could only wait for Xia Wenqing to leave.
"Click."
The door of the office was closed again, and only then did Song Sinian gesture to Zhao Xi and asked, "What exactly did Xia Wenqing’s expression mean when he left just now? Why did it look so strange?"
"Uh..." Zhao Xi was at a loss for words when asked by Song Sinian.
Normally, it was nothing new for Xia Wenqing to come to Song Sinian’s office, and he seldom paid attention to the other’s expressions.
After all, apart from Lu Zhaozhao and Old Master Song, the Xia family were the most friendly to their Mr. Song.
He certainly wouldn’t be on guard.
So just now, he had only vaguely listened to the conversation between the two, and wasn’t aware of what expression Xia Wenqing had made.
Zhao Xi felt slightly uneasy.
After pondering for a moment, he cautiously asked, "Mr. Song, when did you find Xia Wenqing’s expression odd, exactly?"
Song Sinian’s dark pupils narrowed slightly, "It was right after I told him to give the evening gown to Xu Zhenzhen, to pass it to Zhaozhao, and suggested she could also attend the banquet in passing – from then until he left, his expression changed many times, all very strange."
Xu Zhenzhen? Evening gown?
Zhao Xi remembered, Xia Wenqing had also said, "Having the evening gown matter, her attending the banquet wouldn’t seem too abrupt."
If it were any other time, there would be nothing wrong with this statement. However, he had accidentally observed the two interacting before.
He didn’t know if he was overthinking, but he always felt Xia Wenqing’s attitude towards Xu Zhenzhen seemed more than ordinary...
