After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him Chapter 47: It's Just Child's Play

Chapter 47: Chapter 47: It’s Just Child’s Play

Cao i snorted lightly and leaned back on the sofa behind her, “President Song has already promised not to compete with the Lu Family for the No. 1 and No. 3 veins, and no one else has the ability to compete, so why should we cooperate with you?”

Xiao Jinglan’s expression remained unchanged as she said indifferently, “The reason is… Lu Zhaozhao is not the Lu family’s child. What if her current parents knew how valuable their daughter is, do you think they would co and claim her?”

“…”

Cao i’s face instantly turned pale, but she still tried to maintain her composure, clenching her fists without saying a word.

Xiao Jinglan was satisfied with her small reaction and added another sentence, “Oh, right, Zhaozhao is such a well-behaved child, always listening to her parents, isn’t she? Do you think her biological parents are curious about how their daughter lived before?”

“Xiao Jinglan, don’t go too far!” Cao i stood up abruptly, glaring at her angrily.

She dared to use Lu Zhaozhao to threaten her?!

Ever since this girl was little, she knew she was not her own. It was all because of her that her precious daughter wasn’t by her side!

Why should she be kind to her?

Cao i ground her molars fiercely, never imagining these matters would beco a handle for others to grasp against the Lu Family. How could she be willing to let that happen?

It was all this damn Lu Zhaozhao’s fault!

Seeing Cao i lose her temper, Xiao Jinglan hurriedly spoke in a soothing tone, “Mrs. Lu, don’t be angry, didn’t I just say? I’m here to talk about cooperation; I won’t let the Lu Family suffer.”

“…”

Cao i stared at Xiao Jinglan, showing no sign of belief in her words.

Seeing this, Xiao Jinglan had no choice but to take out a contract from her bag and placed it on the table.

“This is the will of several directors behind ; you can take a look first, there’s no harm in considering it.”

Saying this, she pushed the contract on the table forward.

Although Cao i was displeased with Xiao Jinglan, she still picked up the contract from the table.

“We only want a 20% ownership of the No. 1 and No. 3 veins. If the Lu Family wants other kinds of cooperation with the Song Family, we can discuss that.”

As long as the deal for the No. 1 and No. 3 veins was set, the directors would stand by her side. Wouldn’t everything else be as easy as flipping a hand in the future?

Cao i listened to Xiao Jinglan’s words while looking at the contract.

Actually, if they only wanted 20% ownership, it might not be unacceptable — after all, the Song Group was a juicy target, and future cooperation could bring profits well beyond 20%.

She understood the principle of casting a long line to catch a big fish.

However, Cao i wasn’t in a hurry to sign the contract. Instead, she slowly put down the contract in her hand and said, “I have to discuss this with Mr. Lu in our household, please give Lady Xiao a few days’ wait.”

Naturally, Xiao Jinglan took this as her cue to leave things be for now and chuckled, nodding her head, “No rush, there’s still so ti before the vein auction, you can consider it slowly.”

“…”

After finishing her words, she suddenly shifted the conversation, “Recently, you must have noticed how special Zhaozhao is to Song Sinian, haven’t you?”

Being able to persuade him to lend money to the Lu Family in his na, and to give up two hotly contested veins so easily, anyone with a bit of ambition could cover the sky with one hand.

She didn’t believe Cao i wasn’t tempted.

“President Song’s fondness for Zhaozhao is naturally sothing we, as elders, are happy about,” Cao i replied, without giving Xiao Jinglan any room to interject.

To concession 20% of the vein resources was already a big step for her. If Xiao Jinglan wanted to play any other gas, it was a pipe dream!

“…”

Seeing that she was not being swayed, Xiao Jinglan didn’t continue.

However, unbeknownst to them, as they negotiated, Xia Wenjin had been eavesdropping at the top of the stairs on the second floor the whole ti.

Actually, ever since the last ti Lu Zhaozhao visited the Lu Family, Xiao Jinglan had been extrely curious about what kind of man she had married.

Although she hadn’t had much contact with people in the dostic business circles while at the Xia Family, she had heard rumors about Song Sinian.

It was said that he was the president of the Song Group, but he had never accepted any interviews.

The word around town described him as perverse, ruthless, and heartless; such a man probably wasn’t much to look at.

He might even be an old codger.

Thinking this, Xia Wenjin couldn’t help feeling a little smug.

She recalled how Lu Zhaozhao mocked her in the shopping mall before, and this ti, she was determined to make her pay!

She slowly left the top of the staircase on the second floor and silently returned to her own room.

The next morning, as soon as Lu Zhaozhao went to the dining room for breakfast, she saw Qian Hong looking at her with a face full of concern.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat at the dining table, “Aunt Qian, what’s wrong with you?”

After hesitating for a long ti, Qian Hong finally spoke up slowly, “Madam, perhaps you should take a few days off and rest at ho?”

Lu Zhaozhao’s hand, holding a cup of milk, paused, growing even more puzzled.

Her brows furrowed, “Is there sothing wrong with Mr. Song?”

Her classes this morning were scheduled later, so she had slept in a bit.

He must’ve gotten up earlier than her; he should be at the company by now, right?

Qian Hong shook her head, hesitated for a mont, and then handed her phone to Lu Zhaozhao.

First thing in the morning, she had received a ssage from Zhao Xi: soone had anonymously posted defamatory information about Lu Zhaozhao at Yuqing University yesterday.

Claiming she was an impostor heiress of the Lu Family, and for the sake of money, she had married an old and ugly man.

The inforr made it sound credible, and a bunch of people joined in the speculation, almost swarming the forums.

Zhao Xi had already discussed the matter with the school, and although the original post had been deleted, the more it was hidden, the more people believed it to be true.

The already tumultuous comnts grew even more vicious.

Lu Zhaozhao skimd through the phone that Qian Hong handed her, getting the gist of the situation.

She shrugged her shoulders and handed the phone back to Qian Hong, “Aunt Qian, don’t worry about this. These are just rumors, and no one will talk about them after a while.”

“But…” Qian Hong’s brows remained tightly furrowed, her eyes full of worry as she looked at Lu Zhaozhao.

She was just a child, yet she had to endure such vicious attacks; Qian Hong found it unbearable.

Lu Zhaozhao blinked unbothered, “Don’t worry. If anyone dares to talk nonsense in front of , I’ll knock all their teeth out!”

Compared to what she experienced in her previous life, such rumors were child’s play.

Plus, from the informant’s revealed contents, she could guess who the person was almost without thinking.

“…”

Seeing how Lu Zhaozhao was handling the situation, Qian Hong silently sighed and decisively sent a ssage to Zhao Xi.

Madam refuses to stay at ho and insists on going to school; ask Mr. Song if he can co to the university at noon to have lunch with Madam?”

After all, the best way to counter rumors is to confront them with the truth.

As long as Song Sinian showed up at the school, clearing his wife’s na would be a piece of cake.

Now, it’s up to their Mr. Song to decide whether he’s willing…
