Chapter 443: Chapter 441: Her Second Brother Turned Out to be Such a Scumbag?!
Xu Zhenzhen felt a fleeting moment of regret in her heart, but being able to be by his side as his "girlfriend" seemed not bad at all.
Thinking this way, her gaze involuntarily met Xia Wenqing’s.
The doting in his eyes almost overwhelmed her, as if he truly liked her as much as he said he did.
This thought made Xu Zhenzhen’s heart suddenly race.
"Thump, thump, thump..."
The loud beating of her heart made her awkwardly avoid Xia Wenqing’s gaze.
If it weren’t for Hao Jiayi and Liu Xiaozhen being there, she might have blushed and run away immediately.
Xia Wenqing’s charm was no joke! 𝚗𝚘v𝚙𝚞b.𝚌𝚘m
Liu Xiaozhen’s face tensed uncomfortably, listening to Xia Wenqing unreservedly confessing to Xu Zhenzhen, and awkwardly twisted her mouth, "I’m just a bit surprised that Lawyer Xia likes someone like Zhenzhen..."
"Zhenzhen is great, and since she is my own choice, she is naturally the best." Xia Wenqing didn’t give Liu Xiaozhen any chance to continue, and changed the topic while looking at her, "You came to the office to see me today, is there something you need?"
Liu Xiaozhen, stunned by the situation unfolding before her, responded upon hearing Xia Wenqing’s words, "I... I originally came here for work, but then I heard about the issues Hao Jiayi had been encountering recently, so I thought I’d mention it to you, to maybe help her as well..."
Liu Xiaozhen intentionally cued to Hao Jiayi, already unable to steady the situation on her own.
Her gaze turned towards Hao Jiayi, slightly worried she might shift her target due to Xia Wenqing’s public relationship.
To Liu Xiaozhen’s surprise, there was evident hatred in the glance Hao Jiayi just gave Xu Zhenzhen.
Her eyes lit up, sensing an unexpected gain.
Xu Zhenzhen’s attention was all on Xia Wenqing and completely missed Hao Jiayi’s gaze, upon hearing Liu Xiaozhen, she immediately turned her head and muttered discontentedly, "A case that even Lawyer Liu can’t solve on her own must be a major case, it’s better to just hire a legal team directly..."
She definitely wasn’t going to give them a chance to get close to their family’s second brother!
Hao Jiayi’s mouth twitched, her eyes darkening with deeper resentment.
Yet she bowed her head, appearing particularly aggrieved, "Since Lawyer Xia doesn’t have time, I will have to handle it myself..."
"Hmm."
"..."
Listening to Xia Wenqing’s voice, Hao Jiayi fell completely silent.
The news of Xu Zhenzhen’s confrontation with Liu Xiaozhen and Hao Jiayi at the law firm soon spread to the hospital by night.
Lu Zhaozhao sat in the hospital room’s sofa, listening with interest to what Song Sinian described.
Her calves rested on Song Sinian’s lap, holding a box of cut fruit, feeding Song Sinian piece by piece.
"Has my second brother finally seen the light, to make Zhenzhen his girlfriend?" Lu Zhaozhao blinked her eyes curiously, stabbing another piece of cantaloupe with her fork and stuffing it into Song Sinian’s mouth.
Song Sinian raised an eyebrow, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
If Xia Wenqing really did make things clear with Xu Zhenzhen, these two would bother Lu Zhaozhao much less in the future.
That would be good news for him.
Song Sinian reached up and rubbed Lu Zhaozhao’s head, "He’s not too late to have seen the light."
Lu Zhaozhao pursed her lips, "If that were true, Zhenzhen would have called me the moment it happened, right?"
She recalled something Xu Zhenzhen had mentioned about liking someone...
Lu Zhaozhao’s eyes suddenly brightened. Could it be that the person Xu Zhenzhen liked before was her second brother?
What a guy, she even said she had dumped that jerk and was going to set her up with someone.
It turned out the jerk was her second brother.
Song Sinian glanced at Lu Zhaozhao, seemingly stumped by the question.
Given Xu Zhenzhen’s personality, if she were really with Xia Wenqing, she would definitely have shared it with Lu Zhaozhao non-stop.
But almost a whole day had passed, and Xu Zhenzhen hadn’t called her yet.
There were only two possibilities: one was that Xu Zhenzhen was so happy being in love that she forgot about her best friend Lu Zhaozhao.
The other possibility was... their relationship was fake.
The first possibility was unlikely; Xu Zhenzhen wasn’t the kind of person who forgets friends over a lover.
So there was only one possibility left, that they were pretending to be in love.
Thinking this, Song Sinian shared his analysis with Lu Zhaozhao.
Even if he hadn’t said it, Lu Zhaozhao would probably have figured it out soon.
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhaozhao was shocked, "So... it’s very possible that my second brother pretended to be her ’boyfriend’ just to make it easier for Zhenzhen to deal with Hao Jiayi and Liu Xiaozhen?"
What a guy! She let out an astonished exclamation.
To think her second brother was that kind of jerk?!
And she thought she was such a good person for Xu Zhenzhen!
Lu Zhaozhao abruptly stood up from the sofa, and if Song Sinian hadn’t reacted swiftly by grabbing her slender waist, she might have already stormed off to the Song Group to confront Xia Wenqing.
Lu Zhaozhao wanted to struggle, but remembering the wound on Song Sinian’s arm, she could only sit down with a frown, visibly upset, "Mr. Song, let me go. I need to confront my second brother!"
He couldn’t be so reckless just because Xu Zhenzhen liked him, could he?
Didn’t he know what a disaster chasing after a wife could be?
Song Sinian sighed silently, resting his chin on her shoulder, and murmured, "Zhaozhao, listen to me. Your second brother really likes Xu Zhenzhen. It’s just that there seems to be a misunderstanding between them, so this issue hasn’t been addressed yet."
He really didn’t understand why Xia Wenqing, if he liked Xu Zhenzhen, wouldn’t just tell her.
If you love someone, shouldn’t you make them yours?
And it seemed Xu Zhenzhen liked Xia Wenqing too, so why weren’t they together?
Song Sinian had as many questions as Lu Zhaozhao, but he generally didn’t like to meddle in others’ affairs.
Initially, if it weren’t for diverting Xia Wenqing’s attention away from Lu Zhaozhao, he wouldn’t have let Zhao Xi pair Xu Zhenzhen with Xia Wenqing.
Now it seemed that while their relationship had changed, there wasn’t much progress.
Lu Zhaozhao frowned, "Should I help poke a hole in this situation?"
She turned her head to look at Song Sinian, somewhat uncertain.
What if they were really just collaborating? Intervening rashly might ruin even their friendship. What then?
Seeing her dilemma, Song Sinian couldn’t help but pinch her cheek, "If you really want to help, I have a good idea that ensures even if things come to light, it won’t cause any major problems."
"Really?" Lu Zhaozhao suddenly became excited, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Song Sinian.
If it really worked like Song Sinian said, that would be perfect!
