After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him Chapter 589: 587 Now It's Really Troublesome

Chapter 589: Chapter 587 Now It’s Really Troubleso…

Whether she had any skeletons in her closet, Xia Wenqing knew better than anyone.

At the ti when Zhaozhao provided Liu Xiaozhen’s investigative docunts to Xu Zhenzhen, he had followed along and read them too; he hadn’t expected that Liu Xiaozhen would be so ruthless.

Since childhood, she had never let anyone who could be of use to her slip through her fingers.

Anyone usable was used, and anyone who wasn’t was destroyed by any ans necessary.

Those she couldn’t use, she wouldn’t let others use either.

Even when she t him during her university days, she clearly noticed his affection for Xu Zhenzhen yet maliciously led Xu Zhenzhen to misunderstand that he liked soone else.

If Xu Zhenzhen’s feelings for him hadn’t been so deep, she might have turned around and married soone else long ago; the re thought made Xia Wenqing’s chest feel particularly uncomfortable.

Of course, Liu Xiaozhen had no idea what was going on in Xia Wenqing’s mind, but her desperate desire to turn the tables was clearly written on her face.

She couldn’t possibly fail to win over the man and still afford to lose her career.

Liu Xiaozhen’s chin rose slightly, “I’m simply addressing the issues at hand. Xu Zhenzhen has slandered ; can’t I fight back? Just because she is your secretary, must I let her off?”

“Ah, addressing the issues at hand,” Xia Wenqing snorted with derision, “In that case, things will be easier to handle. Regarding the rumors spread by Lawyer Liu before, I don’t mind sending you a legal notice after the party.”

Liu Xiaozhen’s complexion turned ugly in an instant, “Lawyer Xia, must you push to such a desperate situation for a woman? Back in school, we were clearly…”

Xia Wenqing couldn’t be bothered to argue, “Our relationship back in school was rely that of ordinary classmates, you know this very well, and so do the classmates. If you continue to slander , I don’t mind adding another charge against you.”

He knew that Liu Xiaozhen was now acting fearless, so he added another line, “As for the incident ntioned by Zhenzhen, I will conduct a detailed investigation. If there are other victims like Zhenzhen, I wouldn’t mind helping them with a joint lawsuit.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaozhen’s face went alternately pale and flushed.

The observant attendees at the banquet had already sensed what was going on.

They began analyzing it among themselves.

“Xu Zhenzhen’s earlier words, if true, wouldn’t that an Lawyer Liu is guilty of fraud?”

“Fraud perhaps not. It should count as unjust enrichnt…”

“No, it should be unfair competition…”

…

The chatter was incessant, but everyone agreed on one point—Liu Xiaozhen had indeed broken the law.

As for the severity of her punishnt, that would depend on what exactly her offenses were.

Having offended both Song Group and Xia Family, it seed unlikely anyone would dare to take her case.

Fortunately for Liu Xiaozhen, she was a lawyer herself; it was up to her whether she could find a way to absolve herself.

Yet, inside, Liu Xiaozhen was panicking.

When she was younger, she had no knowledge of the law, so her sches were clumsy—though, fortunately, they had never been discovered.

After she had learned so legal knowledge, her actions beca more cautious, but that didn’t an she hadn’t left any loose ends.

If it had been anyone else, she wouldn’t have been so afraid, but her opponent was Xia Wenqing.

He grew up in the sa country as her, and with the power of the Xia Family, wouldn’t it be a breeze for him to turn up so dirt?

Liu Xiaozhen felt a headache coming on as she thought about this, regretting the way she had manipulated Xu Zhenzhen at the charity dinner.

She should have been more cautious, at least waited until Lu Zhaozhao treated her like a close friend before making a move on Xu Zhenzhen.

That way, even if she ssed up, she would still have Lu Zhaozhao as a trump card.

Now she was really in trouble…

Liu Xiaozhen clenched her fists but still maintained the appearance of being oppressed. She looked up at Xia Wenqing, “I admit I had other intentions towards you, and that’s why I couldn’t let go. If I’ve irritated you, I’m willing to apologize…”

She couldn’t afford to worry about her pride now, as long as she could get past this predicant, there would still be a chance.

Sadly, though willing to lose face, no one was willing to give her any respect.

“I won’t accept your apology, and it’s not you should be apologizing to anyway. There are many others you owe an apology to.” Xia Wenqing cut her off, not leaving her any dignity.

He took Xu Zhenzhen’s arm and said, “This place is too noisy. Let take you sowhere else for a stroll, to avoid staying here and getting upset by certain people.”

“Okay.”

“…”

Seeing Xia Wenqing leaving, Liu Xiaozhen started to panic and hurriedly looked at Lu Zhaozhao standing not too far away, trying to use this naive and kind woman.

By now, the crowd that had gathered to watch had mostly dispersed, and there was no need for Liu Xiaozhen to keep up her pitiful act.

She was just about to rush over and cling to Lu Zhaozhao begging for rcy, when she saw her give a complex look and walk decisively towards Xu Zhenzhen, then hugged her arm, “Sister-in-law, shall we go get so tasty food?”

Xu Zhenzhen’s face turned red, and she lifted her hand to pinch Lu Zhaozhao’s cheek, “Zhaozhao baby, you can just call Zhenzhen.”

It wasn’t that she disliked the title “sister-in-law,” but she and Xia Wenqing weren’t married yet, making her a bit shy.

Lu Zhaozhao cheekily winked at Xu Zhenzhen, “Okay, sister-in-law.”

“You, you guys…”

Even soone as naive as Liu Xiaozhen could now see the difference between Lu Zhaozhao and Xu Zhenzhen.

They didn’t act like people who had just t for the first ti.

Lu Zhaozhao feigned surprise, covering her mouth with her hand, “Oops, looks like I let it slip.”

Xia Wenqing observed Lu Zhaozhao’s smug little gesture and couldn’t help but shake his head lightly, reaching out to ss up her hair, “Alright, there’s no audience left, no need to keep acting.”

“Oh.” Lu Zhaozhao imdiately subdued her expression and calmly stared at Liu Xiaozhen, “How does it feel to be played like a fiddle, Lawyer Liu?”

Liu Xiaozhen clenched her teeth bitterly, glaring at the few people in front of her. She had never dreamt that Lu Zhaozhao and Xu Zhenzhen already knew each other.

Looking at their relationship, they seed to get along quite well.

She clenched her fists tightly, “Miss Lu, I have no grudges against you. Why did you have to harm ?”

Lu Zhaozhao couldn’t help but scoff softly, “Lawyer Liu, you say ‘no grudges’ so lightly. You attacked my elder brother; do you think we wouldn’t fight back?”

Xu Zhenzhen scoffed even more at Liu Xiaozhen’s backpedaling behavior, “Lawyer Liu, that’s really funny, so it’s okay for officials to set fires, but not for civilians to light lamps? Is that your rule?”

Liu Xiaozhen’s face turned even uglier, her expression almost tearful as she looked at them, “I… I just like Xia Wenqing, that’s all. I had no other intentions. You don’t need to target like this…”
