After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him

Chapter 473: Chapter 471: The Biggest Crisis of My Career

"I, I won’t, I won’t stay here..."

Her voice was already low, and the latter part was faint like a mosquito noise, barely audible.

As soon as she spoke, Lu Zhaozhao understood what was going on.

"Other children from the side branches will stay too, everyone has to stay, not just you," Lu Zhaozhao didn’t comfort her alone but tried to make her understand that it was the adults’ decision, irrelevant to her.

After hearing Lu Zhaozhao’s words, Yuan Yuan’s eyelashes visibly trembled, and she seemed a bit disbelieving as she looked at Lu Zhaozhao.

She sighed softly, "I’ll take you to the front hall in a moment, and then let the steward arrange where you all will stay, so for now, have something to eat."

"..."

Even though Yuan Yuan didn’t speak again, she obediently started eating.

The heart in Lu Zhaozhao’s chest felt even more tormented.

She glanced at her phone, just in time to see a few messages pop up.

It was Song Sinian.

She had just brought Yuan Yuan to the room then messaged Song Sinian to investigate Yuan Yuan’s aunt and uncle.

Now, the results had been sent back.

Yuan Yuan was a child from a side branch of the Song Family; her parents were deeply in love and had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl, in their second year of marriage.

Her brother had taken his father’s surname, Song, and she had taken her mother’s.

But the originally happy family of four had encountered a sudden car accident. Yuan Yuan hadn’t gone out that day as she was sick, and she was spared.

Since Yuan Yuan was still young and needed care, she was handed over to her uncle, Song Guodong.

Song Guodong and Yuan Yuan’s father were half-brothers, so he felt little affection for Yuan Yuan.

Moreover, Song Guodong had previously been lazy and knew nothing about business, so the already small Jiaye had nearly been ruined by him.

That’s when he started to eye Yuan Yuan. After all, if an orphan girl were gone, the properties in her hands would be his.

With this thought, Song Guodong naturally was not going to be gentle with Yuan Yuan.

Lu Zhaozhao narrowed her eyes, thinking about the pitiable outcome of Yuan Yuan in the previous life, and couldn’t help but sigh.

Soon, Song Sinian sent a message, "What do you want to do about this? Do you want to keep this child named Yuan Yuan?"

Lu Zhaozhao was about to reply with a "Yes" but, seeing the words "typing" appear, she deleted it.

Then she typed a new message.

"I want to help this child. Once things are settled, I hope to find someone suitable and trustworthy for her."

Although she liked the child, she didn’t forget that Mr. Song, her husband, was incredibly jealous.

Usually, he couldn’t even tolerate a dog around him, so how could he allow someone to cling to her all the time?

Regarding the dog, she only found out about it later, secretly told by Doctor Tian.

She had laughed for a long while after knowing it, but thinking about everything Song Sinian did to please her, she wanted to love him well.

And to think more for him.

Meanwhile, the phone on Song Sinian’s desk suddenly rang.

Song Sinian stared at the phone for a few seconds, paused, and then picked up the phone from the desk again.

Oddly, he was somewhat reluctant to face Lu Zhaozhao’s answer.

He had always known that Lu Zhaozhao was compassionate, both as a child and as an adult, she was always soft-hearted.

But he only wanted her to have that soft heart for him alone.

He had recently let the Xia Family’s people get close to Lu Zhaozhao, which was already his limit.

If a few more outsiders arrived...

Sitting not far from Song Sinian, Zhao Xi could clearly feel the low atmospheric pressure emanating from their sir.

Although he didn’t know what had happened, he was sure their sir was in a very bad mood, extremely bad.

Zhao Xi remembered that just a moment ago, their master had asked him to investigate some information about a collateral branch of the family.

It felt somewhat sinful.

Although he could somewhat guess what it was, the only thing that could make their master so upset must be related to their mistress.

As Zhao Xi was thinking about how to appropriately console their master, he suddenly felt the oppressive atmosphere in the office disappear.

In its place was their master’s uplifted smile.

Tsk tsk, indeed, only their mistress could accomplish that.

Zhao Xi took a deep breath, slightly organized the materials in his hand, and slowly said, "Sir, should we handle the matter with the Song Guodong couple?"

That child was indeed quite pitiful.

This was his first time learning that even the Song Family’s collateral branch had such scum.

However, he thought that no matter the family, there are all kinds of trash, and this trash just happened to be discovered by their mistress.

Song Sinian’s fingertips gently tapped on the desktop, "This matter is not urgent."

"???"

This matter is not urgent, then what is?

Zhao Xi looked at Song Sinian with a puzzled face, hoping to discern something from his expression.

However, he quickly failed.

He sighed silently, left with no choice but to wait for their master’s instructions.

Song Sinian, looking at the message on his mobile phone, fell silent for a moment before turning to Zhao Xi and asking, "Do you know anyone suitable for raising a child?"

"Hm???"

This question from Song Sinian completely stumped Zhao Xi.

He suddenly felt like he was facing the biggest crisis of his career.

He had never raised a child, and he did not know what kind of person was suitable for raising one.

Song Sinian’s dark eyes narrowed slightly, realizing that this question might be a bit too difficult for Zhao Xi, so he rephrased his question: "What kind of person do you think is suitable for adopting a child?"

"Uh..."

Adopting a child?

Did he mean the child that their mistress was concerned about today?

At first, he thought Lu Zhaozhao would adopt the child.

Adopt a child?!

Zhao Xi, as if suddenly understanding something, realized why their master had been in a bad mood just now.

It turns out he was afraid that their mistress would adopt the child.

It seemed that the message the mistress had replied to earlier was about finding another adopter for the child.

Otherwise, their master wouldn’t be so proactive.

Now Zhao Xi had a clue.

He pondered for a moment, searching his mind, and tentatively said, "Perhaps... someone who is not short of money, has no vested interests, is kind-hearted, but can’t have children of their own?"

Does such a person even exist?

It’s easy to find someone without entanglements.

But someone who is not short of money, is kind-hearted, yet can’t have children of their own, isn’t this a bit difficult?

If it’s an older person, even if they don’t have children, they would likely have many relatives’ children around them. Those people would probably never allow a new child to share their legacy, right?

In that case, the situation the child might face could be even worse than now.

Zhao Xi found himself in a dilemma.

He hadn’t expected that finding a reliable caretaker for the child would be so difficult...
