After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him

Chapter 105: Chapter 105 You Shut Up

Song Sinian gently tapped his fingers on the table and, after a moment of contemplation, asked, “After Xiao Jinglan made contact with the Lu Family, who did she meet with most frequently?”

“It’s Xiao Mo. But it’s not that frequent.”

After all, Xiao Mo was a distant relative of Xiao Jinglan, so meeting was quite normal.

Song Sinian slowly closed the document he was holding, “If it were you, wanting to get the mining resources but without enough funds, what would you do?”

“Joint venture with someone else?” Zhao Xi furrowed his brows, “With the person most likely to get the mining vein?”

As he spoke, he seemed to suddenly realize something, “Are they going to collaborate with the Lu Group? But Lu Dagui has already secured your personal funds, why would he be willing to let others have a bite of such a fat piece?”

Actually, when Song Sinian had agreed not to compete for mine veins No. 3 and No. 4 with Zhaozhao, he was like the others inside the Song Group.

He thought Song Sinian had given up a great opportunity.

But compared to making money, he cared more about the overall state of Song Sinian.

The serenity he exhibited now was priceless.

Moreover, since Zhaozhao had joined the company, the efficiency of the employees had significantly improved. This too was a sort of compensation.

Song Sinian lightly twisted the document in his hand and narrowed his eyes, “Probably Xiao Jinglan offered the Lu Family an irresistible condition, and the part the Lu Family would split wouldn’t be too much.”

The Mr. and Mrs. Lu were certainly not philanthropic in nature.

Thinking this, Song Sinian further instructed, “Keep a close eye on the bidding for the mining veins lately, see if there’s anything unusual.”

“Yes, sir.”

Since Xia Wenmo’s surgery went very smoothly, and with the excessive care from Zhaozhao, his recovery was going very well.

Xia Wenmo, looking at Zhaozhao who was cutting an apple for him at the bedside, couldn’t help but sigh softly, “I will be discharged in a couple of days. Zhaozhao, will you still come to visit me often at home?”

His tone sounded pitiful, his hands propping his chin as he tilted his head to look at her.

Zhaozhao chuckled lightly, placed the sliced apple on a plate in Xia Wenmo’s hands, then said, “Of course, I will visit you. Haven’t I told you before? I will often come home.”

She truly wanted to cherish this family that loved her in two lifetimes, although she was unaware of it in the previous life.

So, in this life, she wanted to treat them well.

Xia Wenmo bit into the apple. A sweet taste spread in his mouth; he didn’t really like apples.

But since his sister had cut it, it was an exception.

“Zhaozhao, do you have any plans for this weekend?” Xia Wenmo asked as he ate the apple.

If she was coming home for a meal this weekend, he could think about what he might prepare.

Zhaozhao also bit into an apple and chewed, “There’s an art exhibition this weekend, I made plans to go with Mom.”

The mouthful of apple Xia Wenmo was eating suddenly paused.

“Art exhibition?” He raised his eyebrows, staring motionlessly at Zhaozhao.

Could it be the exhibition he was thinking about?

Zhaozhao’s eyes suddenly curved into a smile, “Yes, the one Big Brother gave me the invitation to. Mom said she wanted to go too, so we decided to go together.”

“Uh…”

Xia Wenmo didn’t know how to respond.

His mom really, asking her own daughter for tickets to her own exhibition.

“`

However, thinking back, Xia Wenjue was a bit worried that Lu Zhaozhao would not accept them at once, so he wanted to create opportunities for more interactions.

Zhaozhao, upon learning the truth, simply “fell into the trap” herself.

Lu Zhaozhao, seeing Xia Wenmo hesitate to speak, furrowed her brows slightly, leaned in, and whispered, “Third brother, I told my eldest brother that I wanted to go with mom, and he told me not to worry about the invitation, but I asked around, and it seems that the invitation is hard to get…”

Apart from some prominent figures, the rest found it quite difficult to obtain an invitation.

Unless they were acquainted with the core staff at Luna’s or were friends or relatives of Luna.

The core staff at Luna’s had limited invitations, and as for Luna’s friends, they were mostly big names in the art world.

Relatives and so forth… for a reclusive artist, this was as hard as ascending to heaven.

Xia Wenmo sighed lightly, raised his hand to gently pat Lu Zhaozhao’s shoulder, and consoled her, “Don’t worry, my elder brother has a good relationship with Luna’s side. Getting an invitation is quite easy.”

As he said this, his gaze swept over Lu Zhaozhao’s delicate face, and he then asked, “You like Luna so much, do you want a painting by her?”

Lu Zhaozhao’s eyes instantly lit up, and she nodded vigorously, “Yes, yes, yes! I really do!”

But then on second thought, she pursed her lips, “I heard that Luna might be retiring, so many places have stopped selling her work.”

Luna’s paintings were already hard to come by, not to mention she was close to retiring, which made them even harder to obtain.

Xia Wenmo looked at her faltering little face and almost spilled the beans right there.

He rubbed his temples slightly, his tone gentle and consoling, “Sometimes it’s not certain, maybe for Luna, if she meets someone with destiny, she might gift a painting.”

Zhaozhao did not catch the deeper meaning in his words, but instead followed along, blinking at Xia Wenmo, “Then I’ll work hard to be someone with destiny.”

Seeing his beloved sister act so humbly online, Xia Wenmo couldn’t hold back.

He took out his phone and started bombarding the group chat of the four siblings.

[Xia Wenmo: Zhaozhao wants a painting by mom. You guys better come up with ideas!]

[Xia Wenjue: I’ll arrange to send all the inventory from home to Zhaozhao.]

[Xia Wenmo: You can’t directly send it, or our cover will be blown!]

[Xia Wenqing: Otherwise, should I buy one at the art exhibition for Zhaozhao?]

[Xia Wenmo: You can’t buy, remember you’re an “impoverished lawyer,” stick to your persona!]

[Xia Wenyan: Why not just have mom paint one for her at home?]

[Xia Wenmo: Boot out Lao Si.]

[Xia Wenyan: …]

Xia Wenmo rattled on in the group chat for quite a while until the brothers came up with a suitable and inconspicuous plan.

[Xia Wenmo: That’s settled, then. Eldest brother, you’re in charge of letting mom handle the guest issue, second brother, you take charge of managing the exhibition activities.]

[Xia Wenyan: What about me? What about me?]

[Xia Wenmo: You’re in charge of keeping quiet.]

[Xia Wenyan: Third brother, you’re abusing your power for personal gain!]

[Xia Wenmo: After all, I haven’t claimed to be the best brother in the world.]

[Xia Wenyan: I was wrong.]

[Xia Wenjue: …]

[Xia Wenqing: …]
