After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 159 - No, You Don’t Want To
Chapter 159 -159
“I…”
Lu Zhaozhao was considering whether to agree when Song Sinian’s indifferent voice resonated in the dining room, “No, you don’t want to.”
He casually popped the peeled shrimp into Lu Zhaozhao’s mouth and added, “No drinking.”
In Song Sinian’s memory, Lu Zhaozhao always cried when she got drunk.
It wasn’t a problem when he was by her side, but Lu Zhaozhao had said that they could only be intimate in private, so drinking at the Song Mansion meant he could only watch helplessly, unable to kiss her or lift her high in his arms.
The mere thought of it irked Song Sinian.
Lu Zhaozhao, of course, didn’t consider all this; however, she could somewhat guess why Song Sinian wasn’t letting her drink.
But the unspoken understanding between the two, in the eyes of Xiao Jinglan and Song Keren, took on a different interpretation.
Was Song Sinian preventing Lu Zhaozhao from drinking because something happened when she drank?
The two exchanged glances and immediately took this matter to heart.
Perhaps it could be useful in the future!
“Knock, knock, knock!”
Suddenly, the dining room door was knocked on.
The butler entered and whispered, “Master, a guest has arrived; she says she’s a friend of Miss Song Keren.”
As he spoke, his gaze involuntarily swept towards Lu Zhaozhao’s direction, seeming a bit hesitant.
Mr. Song and the butler had been in sync for many years and naturally understood the implication.
He was about to refuse when he saw Song Keren stand up abruptly, “Is it Jin arriving? Let her in quickly!”
…
…
…
The atmosphere at the dining table suddenly fell quiet, eerily tense.
Xiao Jinglan hastily smoothed things over, “Since she’s already here, let her in, Butler. After all, a visitor is a guest, right?”
Mr. Song gave Xiao Jinglan a deep look and glanced at Song Keren.
It seemed these two were intent on causing trouble today.
Fine then, he was prepared to show these youngsters what he was capable of!
Mr. Song signaled the butler with his eyes, “Let her in.”
“Yes, Master.”
After Mr. Song spoke, his gaze quietly shifted towards Lu Zhaozhao.
He saw Song Sinian leaning close to her ear, whispering something—although he wasn’t far, he still couldn’t hear.
But given Lu Zhaozhao’s smiling and laughing appearance, it seemed there was no problem.
Shortly after, the butler brought Xia Wenjin into the dining room.
The moment she saw Mr. Song, she placed what she was holding onto the dining table.
“Grandpa, Aunt Xiao, this is the tonic my parents asked me to bring. It’s said to be highly effective; you both might want to give it a try.”
She smiled at Mr. Song, and seeing his indifferent expression, her gaze then shifted to Xiao Jinglan.
Xia Wenjin was their ally, so naturally, Xiao Jinglan had her back.
Thus, she casually took the tonic that Xia Wenjin had prepared for her and began to praise it, “Oh, Jin, such a thoughtful child. This looks like a foreign brand, not easy to buy, right? You’re so considerate…”
Xia Wenjin chuckled lightly, “Of course, I put extra thought into the gifts for Grandpa and Aunt Xiao.”
Mr. Song forced a smile and pulled at the corner of his mouth, “It seems that your newly acknowledged parents are quite willing to spend money on you, even bringing such expensive gifts when meeting a friend.”
“…”
“…”
“…”
His words instantly stumped the three people across from him.
In the entire Song Mansion, Mr. Song’s words were law, and being disliked by him was truly troublesome.
Xiao Jinglan hurriedly smoothed things over, “Jin, since you’re here, sit down and join us for the meal. Here, sit next to Keren.”
Xia Wenjin gave an awkward smile but still forced the spirit, saying, “No need, Aunt, I’ve already eaten. I’m just here to have a word with Keren.”

Mr. Song timely added another jab, “If it’s just to talk, call her. There’s no need to pick the time when others are eating to come over.”
“…”
“…”
“…”
Now Xia Wenjin’s face was completely unable to hide her embarrassment. She turned to look at Mr. Song, a very aggrieved expression on her face, “Grandpa Song, I’m sorry for interrupting your meal, I just…”
“If you know you’re interrupting people’s meals, don’t just sit here. Go back home,” Mr. Song looked at Xia Wenjin’s face, unswayed, “Whatever you want to say, you can call Song Keren later. It won’t be a bother.”
“…”
Xia Wenjin was utterly stuck now.
She had been called over by Song Keren, who said that Lu Zhaozhao was here and wanted to work together to properly deal with Lu Zhaozhao.
But she had just arrived and already Mr. Song had issued a dismissal order, how could she work together with Song Keren?
Of course, Song Keren also realized this issue and she spoke up, “Grandpa, Jin is my friend. It doesn’t seem right to send her back so directly.”
Mr. Song nodded his head, “Right, then… take everything she brought back with her.”
His words had barely ended before the expressions on the three faces opposite turned unsightly.
Xiao Jinglan quickly spoke up, “Dad, Jin is after all Keren’s friend, and it’s normal for them to meet and dine together from time to time. Kids are like this, not always punctual, Zhaozhao must be the same, right?”
Seeing that Xia Wenjin was about to be sent away, she had no choice but to drag Lu Zhaozhao into it.
After all, Mr. Song currently cared a lot about Lu Zhaozhao. As long as she was tied into this matter, perhaps he wouldn’t send Xia Wenjin away.
Sure enough, Mr. Song hesitated, his gaze unconsciously shifting toward Lu Zhaozhao.
“Zhaozhao never behaves like this, nor would she have friends who lack such basic awareness,” Song Sinian, while feeding shelled shrimp into Lu Zhaozhao’s mouth, coldly retorted Xiao Jinglan.
Lu Zhaozhao chewed on the shrimp in her mouth, watching Mr. Song and Song Sinian next to her creating a protective barrier akin to a copper wall and iron fence, she really couldn’t get a word in.
Just now upon hearing Mr. Song letting Xia Wenjin in, she thought she would be dining with her. She hadn’t expected him to invite her in only to send her away.
Before Xia Wenjin had thoroughly offended Mr. Song at the school gate, did she still think she could clear her name?
It was extremely difficult.
Especially considering her recent ‘wild maneuvers’ after returning to the Lu Family, Mr. Song must also be aware of quite a bit, right?
With Mr. Song’s level of protectiveness, by acting this way, she was undoubtedly tarnishing the Song Family’s name; Mr. Song would definitely be even less accommodating of her.
Lu Zhaozhao completely didn’t understand why she still came to the Song Mansion to present herself to them.
Xia Wenjin, stricken by the cold and harsh double-edged words from Mr. Song and Song Sinian, immediately couldn’t sit still.
She stood up, nodded towards Mr. Song and Xiao Jinglan, and turned to run away.
Mr. Song glanced at her and did not forget to instruct the butler, “Later, have someone send back everything Xia Wenjin brought. Our Song Family hasn’t fallen to the point of accepting gifts from just anyone. Also…”
