After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him

Chapter 140: Chapter 140: How was he going to explain it to Lu Zhaozhao?

“Big Brother?”

“Big Brother?”

Xia Wenjin and Justin almost simultaneously looked at Xia Wenjue.

Hearing the person beside her also calling “Big Brother,” Xia Wenjin couldn’t help but turn her head toward Justin.

The latter naturally realized he had been too agitated and quickly corrected himself, “I, I mean this big brother, you should clarify the situation first; she was the one who pushed Miss Xia down.”

When he had arrived, he had seen Xia Wenjin fall straight down, and the only person standing beside her was Lu Zhaozhao.

Who else could it be?

Xia Wenjue looked coldly at the two people in front of him and said in a cold voice, “Shouldn’t Xia Wenjin herself know better why she fell?”

Xia Wenjin’s complexion immediately darkened. Now that Justin was here, she absolutely couldn’t afford to mess this up!

She immediately put on a pitiful look and said, “Big brother, even if I’m no longer a part of the Xia family, you don’t need to target me like this, right?”

Her words left Xia Wenjue speechless.

He had seen the video of her and Lu Zhaozhao quarreling before. Now, experiencing it in person was… truly nauseating.

Thinking her words had taken effect when Xia Wenjue didn’t speak, Xia Wenjin pressed on, “I know I’m not as important to you now as Lu Zhaozhao, but I used to be your sister; can’t you show me some mercy?”

“…”

Xia Wenjin’s maneuver truly made Lu Zhaozhao secretly applaud her in her heart. With that acting skill, why didn’t she focus on acting properly in her previous life?

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been ridiculed as the actress with the worst acting skills.

With her ‘damsel in distress’ act, it seemed unlikely that Xia Wenjue would handle her; in critical moments, she would still have to rely on herself…

Lu Zhaozhao was about to speak when she heard an exceptionally cold voice ring out.

“It seems I’ve been too lenient with you in the past, which is why you repeatedly think I’m easy to talk to.”

Xia Wenjue sinisterly tugged at the corner of his mouth, “How you really fell just now, and how you falsely accused Zhaozhao, do you think I have no evidence? This is a mall! Look up, and there are surveillance cameras; do you think this is a place where you can just make a scene and cover it up?”

“?!!!!”

Xia Wenjin almost reflexively looked around. On looking up, she actually found two surveillance cameras!

She immediately panicked; if they really checked the footage, they would know she had deliberately framed Lu Zhaozhao.

Xia Wenjin hurriedly sought help, turning to the nearby Justin with a pitiful plea, “Mr. Justin, will you just stand by and watch as someone bullies a frail lady in front of you?”

Justin awkwardly tugged at the corner of his mouth. Just as he was about to speak, he caught Xia Wenjue’s glaring look, and the words he wanted to say to smooth things over were choked back.

He could only pat Xia Wenjin on the shoulder and say, “These matters between you girls, it doesn’t seem quite right for us gentlemen to get involved. Besides, neither of you is injured, so… maybe just let it go?”

He didn’t know why Xia Wenjue had appeared here, but seeing his irritated demeanor, if he dared to say one more word, he was sure to regret it.

Usually, XJ Corporation’s external affairs were handled by him and a few vice-presidents of the company. The Xia brothers never showed their faces.

Moreover, XJ Corporation had a confidentiality rule. Even if one met a member of the Xia family outside, their identity must absolutely not be revealed.

Otherwise… otherwise suffering consequences was the least of one’s worries.

Despite his relation to the Xia Family, he did not dare overstep on such matters.

Lu Zhaozhao had not expected the future CEO of XJ Corporation to be so agreeable. Upon reflection, ever since he took the helm, the XJ Corporation seemed to have lost some of its former glory, which was indeed a pity.

But even a dying camel is still bigger than a horse, right?

“Just like that? You say it so lightly?” Xia Wenjue’s dark pupils narrowed, and his sharp gaze swept over Justin. “If I hadn’t arrived just now, my sister could have been injured!”

Xia Wenjin, seeing Xia Wenjue hold on tenaciously, couldn’t help feeling irritable, completely unaware of Justin’s changing expressions.

“What exactly do you want?”

“An apology, of course!” Xia Wenjue’s dark eyes met Xia Wenjin’s. “If you do something wrong, you should act like it! Do you have a problem with that?”

“You…” Xia Wenjin wanted to say something more, but Justin immediately reached out and grabbed her wrist, chuckled lightly, and pulled her over.

He then bowed slightly to Lu Zhaozhao, “I’m sorry, I was too hasty earlier and pushed this lady without verifying the situation first. I apologize. If this lady was injured, I’m willing to cover all the expenses. Please forgive me.”

Justin’s apology came so swiftly that even the one being apologized to, Lu Zhaozhao, was a bit stunned.

Yet she quickly realized something was amiss.

Though Justin’s apology was directed at her, she had the feeling that he was watching Xia Wenjue’s reaction.

She suddenly recalled the expression on Justin’s face when Xia Wenjue had arrived… as if he recognized him.

Lu Zhaozhao pursed her lips, “I accept your apology, but this gentleman should be more careful next time.”

After saying this, she pulled Xia Wenjue away to leave.

She really didn’t want to waste any more time on Xia Wenjin; there were more important things for her to ascertain.

Xia Wenjue initially wanted to continue his battle with Xia Wenjin for several more rounds, but seeing Lu Zhaozhao pulling him away, he naturally had to behave like a good big brother.

The two of them went up two floors until Xia Wenjin and Justin were out of sight; then, Lu Zhaozhao tentatively started, “Big brother, do you know that Justin?”

Xia Wenjue’s body noticeably stiffened, and he awkwardly tugged at the corner of his mouth, “Ah? Which Justin?”

His acting was so poor that Lu Zhaozhao saw right through it.

She sighed softly, slowly releasing the arm she had hooked through Xia Wenjue’s, “Big brother, I’m not a child anymore. I can understand obvious things.”

Seeing Lu Zhaozhao speak like this, Xia Wenjue found it hard to continue concealing the truth and could only stutter, “That… Justin is actually our relative. If you count it, you should call him your cousin…”

“Cousin?!” Lu Zhaozhao’s eyes widened instantly.

The future CEO of XJ Corporation was her cousin?!

Did that mean her family was also related to the XJ Corporation?

Her complexion turned unsightly in an instant.

Lu Zhaozhao hesitated, then looking at Xia Wenjue, she asked another question, “So… does our family have a close relationship with the family of XJ Corporation’s CEO? Are we on good terms?”

“Uh…”

Her question left Xia Wenjue at a loss for words.

How was he to explain to Lu Zhaozhao?
