Chapter 321: Chapter 319: How Could He Not Believe?
She said, and with a gentle shake of the arm she was holding, "Do you believe me, please?"
A complex emotion flitted across Xiao Mo’s eyes.
If it were not for the pressure from Old Master Song, he wouldn’t want a woman like Xia Wenjin.
To him, she was merely an outlet for his frustrations, and it didn’t matter if she had been used by others.
As a man, he naturally liked the compliments and submission expressed by a woman.
But as for her continuing to be his wife in the future? 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
Ha!
How could she have the audacity to ask for such a thing?
If he were to marry, he would only marry someone as dazzling and bewitching as Lu Zhaozhao.
Not to mention, she was smart, and her family background wasn’t bad either.
She brought good fortune to her husband.
Who wouldn’t like a woman like that?
He glanced at Xia Wenjin and said indifferently, "We’ll see how you perform."
"Okay, I will definitely show you how I’ve changed!" Xia Wenjin looked at him with eyes full of hope, as if he were the love of her life.
Xiao Mo gave her an indifferent glance and entered the ward without much expression.
The moment the door shut, the expression on Xia Wenjin’s face vanished.
She actually wasn’t worried about Xiao Mo divorcing her after ascending to a higher position.
Because the more prominent a person was, the more they cared about their reputation.
Once she dealt with Xiao Jinglan, she would find a way to kill Song Keren later on.
She had plenty of methods to make Xiao Mo unable to leave her!
So what if the Lu Family went bankrupt?
She would still rise to the top on her own merits!
Thinking this, Xia Wenjin took her car keys and left.
Her phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated. Xia Wenjin took it out to look.
Seeing the name on the screen, she decisively hung up the call.
Meanwhile, on the other end of the phone, Lu Dagui’s face looked particularly unsightly.
"This wretched girl actually hung up on me?!"
Lu Dagui stared at his phone in disbelief, listening to the cold voice of the automated service, "Sorry, the user you are dialing is currently unavailable."
After the news of the Lu Group’s financial chain breaking, Lu Dagui’s phone had been bombarded with calls.
At first, he had patiently answered calls and explained, but later on, he simply stopped taking them.
Luckily, he used different phones for work and personal life; otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to make calls on this phone either.
Cao Mei, seeing Lu Dagui’s extreme irritability, cautiously soothed him, "Maybe Jin is busy."
Xia Wenjin hadn’t been home recently because she was said to be joining a film crew, so Lu Dagui and Cao Mei came directly to the film base.
They knew the only way to help the Lu Group out of trouble was to ask Justin for assistance, but they weren’t acquainted with him.
Therefore, they had to seek out Xia Wenjin.
Moreover, since Xia Wenjin had entered the industry, she had obtained quite a few endorsements and probably had a good amount of money in hand.
Even though this money was but a drop in the bucket for the Lu Group, it should at least temporarily appease his business partners.
Lu Dagui frowned, "Busy? What is she busy with? It’s just a role in a film. Does she not even have time to see her own parents?"
He grew more irate the more he thought about it, recalling how many people were saying Xia Wenjin was a calamity when he initially didn’t care much.
But as the Lu Family’s misfortunes piled up, how could he not believe it?
Moreover, Ever since Xiao Mo married Xia Wenjin, he was directly disowned by Old Master Song in public, and soon after, Xiao Jinglan fell ill and was hospitalized.
He was more and more suspicious that Xia Wenjin was meant to ruin him.
Indeed, he should never have agreed to that woman’s demand in the first place, or else he wouldn’t have left this ticking time bomb around for so long.
Or perhaps... if he had refused when he found out Xia Wenjin was returning, what would the Lu Family’s situation be like?
Lu Dagui squinted his eyes, deeply in thought, when Cao Mei suddenly patted him, "Sir, do you think that person over there is Lu Zhaozhao?"
They had been waiting at the film studio for Xia Wenjin to show up, but instead, they encountered Lu Zhaozhao, who had returned by car.
Was she here filming as well?
Thinking this, Lu Dagui followed by Cao Mei, walked over to her.
"Zhaozhao!"
Cao Mei called out to her first.
Lu Zhaozhao’s brow furrowed slightly, and as soon as she turned around, she saw Mr. and Mrs. Lu.
She arched her eyebrows slightly, looking at them with puzzlement, "What are you doing here?"
She was of course aware of the Lu Group’s financial crisis that was making noise on the internet, but she didn’t want to bring it up proactively.
She originally planned to go straight home after returning from the hospital with Song Sinian but then remembered she had left something in the production crew, so she decided to stay at a hotel near the film set with Song Sinian for the night.
She had Song Sinian go back to the hotel first, while Zhao Xi took her to the crew.
She had not expected to run into Lu Dagui and Cao Mei here.
Cao Mei, because of what happened before, still held some hope for Lu Zhaozhao, so her tone was much softer when speaking to her.
"Zhaozhao, your dad and I came here looking for Jin. We heard she was filming with the crew and didn’t expect to find you together."
Lu Zhaozhao blinked, "Xia Wenjin should be at her own home right now. I saw her just now when I visited Xiao Jinglan at the hospital. If you’re looking for her, you can go to her place."
Hearing the name "Xiao Jinglan," a complex emotion clearly flickered in the depths of Cao Mei’s eyes.
She knew exactly how Xiao Jinglan had targeted Lu Zhaozhao in the Song Mansion previously.
Unbelievably, after this woman fell ill, Lu Zhaozhao actually went to visit her.
She couldn’t tell whether Xiao Jinglan was that good at disguising, or Lu Zhaozhao bore no grudges...
As Cao Mei thought this, her gaze involuntarily shifted to Lu Zhaozhao, her regret deepening.
"Zhaozhao, could you perhaps ask President Song for help? Your mother is begging you..." Cao Mei couldn’t help but plead with Lu Zhaozhao.
In the past, Lu Zhaozhao would always be obedient, no matter what she said.
Even if she wouldn’t listen now, wouldn’t she soften at the sight of her living poorly?
She had raised this child for so many years, understanding her kind heart and good temper...
Lu Zhaozhao stepped back as she heard the plea, widening the distance between her and Cao Mei, "Sorry, I have no relation to the Lu Family anymore, and my husband probably wouldn’t like me associating with you."
She paused, then added, "I also don’t want to make my current parents unhappy, so please don’t mention this again."
Lu Dagui initially didn’t want to get involved, believing that with Cao Mei there playing the pity card, they could somehow soften Lu Zhaozhao’s heart.
But he hadn’t expected her to be so heartless when she spoke.
"Zhaozhao, we raised you for 20 years, is this how you treat your foster parents?!" Lu Dagui glared at Lu Zhaozhao, looking utterly heartbroken.
Lu Zhaozhao felt incredibly disgusted.
How could he distort the truth after committing so many reprehensible acts?
Lu Zhaozhao’s gaze swept over Lu Dagui and Cao Mei, her tone chilly—
