Chapter 34: Chapter 34 Mr. Song from their family is really exceptionally good at handling money

Lu Zhaozhao’s hand suddenly paused, her eyebrows slightly furrowed as if something suddenly blocked her chest.

Hair ties, originally meant for tying hair and nothing more, had somehow evolved into a little prop for asserting dominance.

She had always believed that Song Sinian, like in her previous life, was a workaholic with no women by his side.

But now she wondered… maybe she simply didn’t know.

Song Sinian only seemed cold on the outside, but in reality, he was gentle and considerate, truly a cool-faced angel.

What woman wouldn’t like that?

She gently put the bracelet on Song Sinian, but couldn’t help glancing again at the hair tie.

Suddenly, her mind flashed with a fragment related to the hair tie before her.

Just as she tried to see it clearly, the hair tie transformed into a gruesome face, and Lu Zhaozhao felt her whole head was about to split open.

Painfully, she held her head, not knowing why she felt she had forgotten something very important…

Lu Zhaozhao only knew that when she was five, she had fallen down the stairs and almost lost her life, but when she woke up, she remembered nothing.

She couldn’t help but doubt, was it really just an accident that she fell down the stairs?

Song Sinian seemed to notice her discomfort, he reached out to hold her hand, his brows slightly raising, “What’s wrong?”

Lu Zhaozhao managed a weak smile, “Nothing, I’m probably just too tired today.”

She had experienced too many things different from her previous life recently, many of which she hadn’t had time to process.

Song Sinian raised his hand to rub her head, “Then go back to your room and rest for a while, school starts in a few days, and you need to be well-rested.”

“Okay.”

Lu Zhaozhao obediently nodded her head, stood up, and left the dining room.

Not long after she left, Zhao Xi came into the dining room with documents.

Seeing the ear cuff on Song Sinian’s ear, his eyes lit up, “Sir, did the madam give you a gift?”

“Mm,” Song Sinian responded indifferently, taking the documents from Zhao Xi and beginning to read them, his mood seeming not very high.

Zhao Xi looked at Song Sinian curiously for a long time, completely unable to find a reason for his unhappiness.

The ear cuff Mr. Song had been longing for was finally in his possession; though there was not much emotional fluctuation, there should have been some change in his demeanor.

But why did he feel like the atmosphere was even worse than during a meeting at the Song Group?

After hesitating for a while, Zhao Xi couldn’t help but ask, “Sir, has the madam encountered something unpleasant?”

The only person their family cared about now was their madam.

Early that morning, Lu Zhaozhao had gone to the Lu Family to deliver a check, Mr. and Mrs. Lu couldn’t possibly be unhappy or provoke Lu Zhaozhao, so what was the actual problem?

Song Sinian’s hand that was flipping through the documents paused, and he turned his head towards Zhao Xi, “You also think she is unhappy?”

Zhao Xi was slightly startled, seeing Song Sinian’s reaction, he knew he had hit the mark.

He chuckled lightly, “I heard it from the madam’s bodyguard, it seems like her mood has been quite down since returning from the Song Family.”

Song Sinian thought about what Lu Zhaozhao had said just now, his eyes slightly darkened, “She said she might not be the biological daughter of the Lu Family, go check on the recent activities of the Lu Family, see who they have been in contact with.”

Lu Zhaozhao wouldn’t say these things without a reason.

Certainly, she must have seen something at the Lu Family that made her say that.

Hearing Song Sinian’s words, a hint of surprise flickered across Zhao Xi’s eyes.

Lu Zhaozhao is not the Lu Family’s biological daughter?

This really did seem rather far-fetched, yet when combined with the information previously investigated, it wasn’t hard to explain why Mr. and Mrs. Lu had psychologically abused Lu Zhaozhao.

Because she wasn’t their biological child.

Zhao Xi thought this and suddenly, as if something occurred to him, he began slowly, “Sir, the man that madam encountered yesterday outside, I’ve gathered some information about him, but it is not very comprehensive. It seems… like someone deliberately tampered with it.”

He said this and pushed the investigation report in front of Song Sinian, “This man is named Xia Wenjue, lives in the Eastern District on Changle Street, and has a family of seven. From what the data shows, this man is merely an ordinary office worker with no noticeable peculiarities.”

But that was exactly what made it suspect.

An ordinary office worker, living in a regular neighborhood, yet he could afford the most expensive VIP hospital room in the Beijing Circle.

Even the doctor scheduled for the surgery was top-notch.

This Xia Wenjue probably had a significant background, at least not as ordinary as he appeared on the surface.

Song Sinian’s gaze fell on the document before him and he said indifferently, “Keep a close eye on him, and if he dares to target Zhaozhao, just handle it directly.”

“Yes, sir.”

“…”

He didn’t like seeing too many complex and uncomfortable expressions on her little face.

Still, her eyes curved beautifully, a radiant smile better suited her.

Song Sinian tapped his finger on the documents in his hand and suddenly, his fingertip paused, “Is the thing I asked you to prepare earlier ready?”

Zhao Xi nodded repeatedly, “It’s all ready, just waiting for the lady to start school!”

“Good.”

He lifted his hand to gently stroke the multicolored hair tie on his wrist, his fingertips inadvertently touched the new leather braided bracelet that Lu Zhaozhao had given him, and his eyes suddenly deepened…

On the opening day of the school, Lu Zhaozhao sat in the back seat of the car, looking at her get-up with a bit of speechlessness.

Yesterday, Qian Hong had mysteriously told her that Song Sinian had prepared a gift for her.

The result was, as soon as she woke up this morning, she saw her high set school ensemble by Pra.

Even the bags and shoes were custom-made to match.

Everything she wore was designed exclusively by Pra’s top designer; buying the same model was simply out of the question.

Lu Zhaozhao had to admit that Mr. Song of their family really excelled in spending ability.

Anyone with a discerning eye at Yuqing University could see the value of her attire.

In two words… wealthy!

The kind that others absolutely couldn’t afford.

Lu Zhaozhao sighed with a mix of resignation, looking at the school gate she had arrived at, then got out of the car.

But she had just walked a few steps when she saw, from afar, a person she really didn’t want to encounter–Xia Wenjin.

Just as she thought to pretend not to see him and leave, Xia Wenjin unexpectedly stepped ahead and blocked her way.

“Lu Zhaozhao, long time no see!”

Lu Zhaozhao looked at Xia Wenjin’s arrogant gaze and slightly raised her eyebrows, making eye contact with his malevolent look.

It appeared that she was not planning to get along well with her “cousin”; thus, she saw no need to continue pretending.

Lu Zhaozhao lifted her eyes to him, her eyebrows and the corners of her eyes carried a hint of indescribable coldness…
