After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 190 - 190 You Debuted on the Basis of Your Good
Chapter 190: Chapter 190: You Debuted on the Basis of Your Good Looks! Chapter 190 -190: You Debuted on the Basis of Your Good Looks! Thanks to the Song Family’s blessings, the Lu Group’s Jade Vein had unearthed rough stones of purple jade that became a hot topic.
Many who cooperated with the Lu Group wanted to get their hands on these rough stones first, but Lu Dagui simply couldn’t deliver them.
The more he tried to explain to the partners, the more they thought he wanted to hold out for a higher price. After three consecutive days, Lu Dagui had already seen seven partnerships fall through.
He simply stayed at home, pretending to be sick and refusing to go out.
Cao Mei had never seen Lu Dagui look so terrible; even when the company was facing financial issues, he hadn’t looked so worried and distressed.
Sitting beside Lu Dagui, she asked, “Master, has something happened to the company recently?”
Lu Dagui sighed lightly, “I don’t know who spread the rumors that our company’s vein had unearthed purple jade rough stones. Now those partners come to me every day demanding the stones…”
Thinking of this, Lu Dagui’s brows furrowed.
To say nothing of purple jade rough stones, the mining so far had only turned up inconspicuous pebbles; almost no significant rough stones had been found.
That was the state of the mine excavation up to this point.
Though he still held out hope for the rest of the Jade Vein, he couldn’t put together enough rough stones for trading right now.
Clenching her teeth, Cao Mei angrily said, “It’s all because of that shameless wretch Lu Zhaozhao. If it wasn’t for her brother participating in the bidding, our family wouldn’t have had to pay such a high price for those two veins.”
At the time, Lu Dagui, having successfully acquired the two veins, had entirely put that matter out of mind.
Now that he thought about it, it was indeed Xia Wenjue who had been constantly competing against him.
Lu Dagui’s ancient and calculating eyes narrowed, “It seems that the lesson taught to their mother was too light…”
“Ding-dong—Ding-dong—”
While he was speaking, the villa’s doorbell suddenly rang.
Lu Dagui was already irritable; then he heard the scream of a servant at the door.
Lu Dagui and Cao Mei immediately stood up and walked toward the villa’s entrance, only to be shocked by the scene that greeted them.
The ruffians Lu Dagui had paid for were thrown at their doorstep, twisted into grotesque angles, with all their limbs bending perversely.
Most menacing of all, the top one had a stark white sign around his neck.
Bloodied lettering on it clearly read—You’re next.
Cao Mei, who had never seen such a terrifying sight, collapsed to the ground with her legs giving out.
“Should we, should we call the police?”
She shivered for a long time before managing to utter a complete sentence.
As soon as she spoke, Lu Dagui sharply replied, “Call the police? Have you lost your mind?!”
These were the men they had hired to deal with Wen Qingyu. Not only had they been crippled, but they were also dumped right at their doorstep.
It was clear provocation.
They were so brazen because they were confident that the Lu Family wouldn’t dare call the police or even if they did, couldn’t touch them.
It could even backfire terribly.
Thinking this, Lu Dagui promptly had someone deal with the men at the door and pulled Cao Mei back into the living room.
His expression serious, he said, “It looks like I need to have a good talk with Mr. Justin about Jin’s situation as soon as possible.”
Since the Lu Family’s reputation was currently strong, marrying Xia Wenjin to Justin would ensure that even if the Lu Family really faced troubles, Justin wouldn’t just stand by and watch.
Cao Mei didn’t know Lu Dagui’s plan; she just thought he was worried about Xia Wenjin’s safety, so he made this decision.
She naturally nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes, you absolutely can’t let Song Keren get there first.”
Currently, the Lu Family had a good reputation; it wouldn’t be hard for them to secure Justin, but if Song Keren took advantage of the Song Family’s help, that would be a different story.
They had to strike first!
Lu Dagui glanced at Cao Mei, seemingly in agreement, and nodded, “What’s Jin’s schedule lately?”
It was then that Cao Mei seemed to have an epiphany, “Tomorrow, Jin is going to participate in a live broadcast variety show, I’ve heard it’s a very popular slow living variety show. To prepare for this program, I went shopping with Jin a few days ago to buy several outfits.”
“Hmm,” Lu Dagui nodded thoughtfully.
The title of a popular artist would definitely add points to Xia Wenjin.
That would give him another bargaining chip when he negotiated with Justin…
His biological daughter, she ought to be worth more than Lu Zhaozhao, the adopted girl, right?
The next day, at the “Come and Eat” live broadcast variety show filming site.
As permanent guests, Xia Wenyan, Pei Huai, and Du Miao’er arrived early at the temporary villa used for filming.
The villa had two floors; the second floor had eight guest rooms, while the first floor was mainly used for filming.
From the start of the live broadcast, Xia Wenyan’s expression was noticeably grim.
He participated in the “Come and Eat” live broadcast variety show only to fill an empty slot in his schedule.
He didn’t expect the director to secretly bring in Xia Wenjin as a special guest without telling him.
Before she even appeared last night, he had been completely unaware!
So now, seeing Xia Wenjin dragging her luggage and pretending it was her first day, his expression couldn’t merely be described as “sour.”
[Crescent Beibei: Is Xia Wenyan trying to kill us with laughter? When he heard that the special guest was Xia Wenjin, his face was just too real, right?]
[Xia Wenyan’s Official Girlfriend: Is baby Yanyan trying to become a comedian? Baby!!! Have you forgotten? You debuted on your looks!!!]
[T Someone: Xia Wenyan is just too ungallant, after all, she was once your sister, is this necessary?]
[Soy Milk: To the one saying “Is this necessary,” don’t run away! If your biological sister was bullied by your foster sister, even plotting to take indecent photos, could you tolerate it?]
[ure Azure: Don’t preach benevolence to others without tasting their hardships.]

For a moment, the entire live broadcast room became lively because of Xia Wenjin’s appearance and Xia Wenyan’s stern face.
Although the director was a bit worried that Xia Wenyan might walk out, seeing the live room’s heat surpass the usual levels, he became excited.
He cleared his throat and said simply, “Today our Dining House welcomes three new guests, and accordingly, some of our previous rules will be changed.”
Film Emperor Pei Huai quickly caught the key point, “Three guests today? Who’s the last one then?”
He glanced at Xia Wenjin with her luggage and Yin Zhuhai standing next to her, his eyebrows slightly raised.
During normal live broadcasts, it was always a pattern of 3+2 guests, but today there was an extra one?
The director nodded repeatedly, “That’s right, we have a mystery guest today. The Dining House will be divided into three teams, with pairs completing tasks together, and it must be one male and one female. Everyone can now choose whom they want to team up with, and the one left will team up with the mystery guest.”
Xia Wenyan felt a headache just glancing at Xia Wenjin, let alone teaming up with her.
As for the mystery guest who was yet to appear, even though he now guessed it would be a girl, he wasn’t sure who it might be, so Xia Wenyan was a bit hesitant.
On the other hand, Pei Huai quickly made up his mind…
