Chapter 208 -208 What does it mean that Lu Zhaozhao did not meet a good end?

Pei Huai crossed his arms over his chest and leaned back in his chair, his brows and eyes all smiling as he looked at Lu Zhaozhao, “Sister, got any ideas? Do you need brother’s help?”

“…”

Lu Zhaozhao’s mouth twitched slightly with a somewhat speechless look at Pei Huai.

This man’s mood swings really were just like flipping a page in a book, the second before he was as wary of her as could be.

But the second after they were on the same side, his attitude changed completely.

Sighing helplessly, she said, “No need, for dealing with someone at Xia Wenjin’s level, there’s no need for anyone else to step in. Just take good care of fourth brother, that’s enough.”

A “snap” echoed from the doorway.

Lu Zhaozhao and Pei Huai almost simultaneously looked toward the entrance, just in time to see Xia Wenyan stepping in.

He stood at the doorway with a shocked expression, which actually scared both Lu Zhaozhao and Pei Huai.

Could he have heard everything they were saying?

Lu Zhaozhao and Pei Huai exchanged a glance, neither daring to speak first for a moment.

“Zhaozhao! You finally acknowledge me!” Xia Wenyan put the coffee pot he was holding to one side and stepped forward to hug Lu Zhaozhao, who was sitting in the chair.

Startled by his sudden declaration, Lu Zhaozhao raised her eyebrows slightly, “When did I ever…”

Before she could finish, Xia Wenyan immediately rubbed his face against Lu Zhaozhao’s cheek, “I don’t care, I heard ‘fourth brother’ the moment I approached the door, so it must be me, wuwuwu… you finally recognize me as your brother…”

“…”

“…”

Both Lu Zhaozhao and Pei Huai breathed a sigh of relief in secret, and seeing Xia Wenyan so excited, neither had the heart to say much more.

Naturally, Lu Zhaozhao could only let Xia Wenyan cling to her like this.

Fortunately, the director called Lu Zhaozhao away temporarily, which put an end to this farce.

But what Lu Zhaozhao didn’t know was that as soon as she left the room, Xia Wenyan pulled Pei Huai into a separate room.

Even the smile on his face darkened.

Pei Huai understood at once; it wasn’t that Xia Wenyan hadn’t heard, but that he didn’t want Lu Zhaozhao to know.

“Brother Pei, when you and Zhaozhao were talking about rebirth and all that, it wasn’t just me hearing things, right?” Xia Wenyan stared intently at Pei Huai, afraid he would make up an excuse to slip by.

Pei Huai opened his mouth, about to say something, but seeing Xia Wenyan’s burning gaze, ended up saying nothing after all.

He could easily have said that everything he had talked about with Lu Zhaozhao were just themes or lines from a shoot, but he didn’t want to deceive Xia Wenyan.

Taking a deep breath, he said, “It’s all true. Both Lu Zhaozhao and I are reborn. If I’m not mistaken, Lu Zhaozhao probably didn’t meet a good end either.”

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be trying so hard to change everything.

Hearing this, Xia Wenyan felt as though something was suddenly blocking his throat.

What did he mean by Lu Zhaozhao didn’t meet a good end?

His fists clenched tightly, he looked at Pei Huai silently, as if waiting for his answer.

Pei Huai rubbed his head somewhat helplessly, “Actually, in the last life, Lu Zhaozhao didn’t recognize you, and your sister was always Xia Wenjin. Even after the Lu Family acknowledged her, the Xia Family still showed her kindness.”

He knew that Xia Wenyan wanted to know about Lu Zhaozhao’s circumstances, so he had never intended to conceal any of the intelligence he had acquired.

“Back then, Lu Zhaozhao received very poor treatment in the Lu Family; not long after she married Song Sinian, the Lu Family publicly revealed her to be a fake heiress. Then, someone leaked indecent photos of her, and losses from two mining veins purchased later by Song Group were also blamed on her. Many reports compared her with Xia Wenjin, and everyone called her a harbinger of doom…”

“How could this have happened? Zhaozhao actually suffered so much…” Xia Wenyan was on the verge of collapse, clutching his hair, seemingly unable to accept it.

But thinking it over carefully, these incidents all had traces to follow.

The treatment of Lu Zhaozhao by the Lu Family had always been poor; having tortured her from childhood, they certainly became more unrestrained after Xia Wenjin was recognized and brought home.

And about those indecent photos… He suddenly remembered that his elder brother had mentioned that the Lu Family had installed cameras in Lu Zhaozhao’s room.

It was easy to imagine who had released those photos in the past life.

Damn it! They all deserved to die!

The anger in Xia Wenyan’s eyes turned them bloodshot, and he wished he could kill all the members of the Lu Family right now!

Pei Huai hadn’t expected these revelations to have such a huge impact on Xia Wenyan. He stretched out his arms and embraced him, “Yanyan, don’t be impulsive. Those people can’t hurt Zhaozhao anymore. She has her brothers to protect her, and she will be fine.”

Listening to the comforting words from Pei Huai, it took a while for Xia Wenyan to calm down, but his hatred for the Lu Family did not diminish one bit.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and looked at Pei Huai, asking, “You just said that in the past life, the Song Group incurred losses from bidding on mining veins, the same ones that the Lu Family bought recently, right?”

Pei Huai nodded, “That’s right.”

All the puzzles fell into place, and Xia Wenyan finally understood why his elder brother and Song Sinian had jointly maneuvered the Lu Family to pay a high price for those mining veins.

But these punishments were far from enough!

The debts the Lu Family owed Lu Zhaozhao, they could never repay in their lifetime!

His elder brother, second brother, third brother, and his parents didn’t know what Lu Zhaozhao had gone through in her past life. If they found out…

They would surely flay the people of the Lu Family alive!

“Yanyan, don’t trust Xia Wenjin anymore. No matter how pitiful she seems, don’t believe that woman,” Pei Huai advised Xia Wenyan, now that he already knew most of the truth, emphasizing deliberately.

Although both he and Lu Zhaozhao watched over Xia Wenyan, that didn’t rule out the possibility of Xia Wenjin causing unexpected trouble.

The best approach was still to keep Xia Wenyan alert about Xia Wenjin.

Xia Wenyan suddenly lifted his head, as if something had dawned on him, “Right… you said I died. Was it Xia Wenjin’s doing?”

“…”

Pei Huai evidently had an aversion to the word “die.”

He picked Xia Wenyan up abruptly, almost obsessively saying, “You won’t die, absolutely not!”

Xia Wenyan paused for a moment, sensing that his emotions were off, and gently patted Pei Huai on the shoulder with a light chuckle, “Brother Pei, don’t get worked up, I’m just asking about what happened before.”

Pei Huai also realized that he might have acted a bit too forcefully and gave a light cough, “I did suspect Xia Wenjin before, but there was no evidence. However, Zhaozhao seems quite certain, because… in the last life, you overdosed on drugs…”

“Overdosed on drugs?” Xia Wenyan’s brows lifted slightly, the term sounding vaguely familiar.

His eyes narrowed suddenly, as if he had pieced something together, “No wonder our variety show team was reported before I attended.”

At the time, he had thought it was a malicious report, but thinking back now… it must have been Zhaozhao.

Xia Wenyan couldn’t help but burst into laughter…
