After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 700 - 698: Inside and Out Coordination
Chapter 700: Chapter 698: Inside and Out Coordination
Xu Zhenzhen, who had been sobbing uncontrollably, was immediately frightened into silence upon hearing Lu Zhaozhao’s intention to stay with her.
"No, you can’t stay here, it’s very dangerous." Xu Zhenzhen, while speaking, tried to pull Lu Zhaozhao up, "You need to leave quickly, and it’s best if no one discovers you were here."
Lu Zhaozhao looked at Xu Zhenzhen, a bit amused, "Don’t worry, if it weren’t safe, Mr. Song wouldn’t have sent me in. He must have been confident in getting me out safely, which is why he let me come."
Thinking of Song Sinian’s regard for Lu Zhaozhao, Xu Zhenzhen felt much more at ease. After all, with her understanding of that guy Song Sinian, he absolutely wouldn’t allow any danger to befall Lu Zhaozhao.
Her silent sigh of relief caught Lu Zhaozhao’s attention, causing her to smile involuntarily.
Her small hand patted Xu Zhenzhen on the back, "Pavel is away on a business trip and won’t be back for a while, so we have plenty of time to talk properly."
Xu Zhenzhen pursed her lips, "What if... what if the servants discover us?"
She knew the people assigned to watch over her were Pavel’s informants and she suspected that her every move was being reported to Pavel, which is why she worried about Lu Zhaozhao staying here and attracting his attention.
"Relax, relax. If my several brothers can’t handle this little matter, then they wouldn’t have the face to call themselves my brothers," Lu Zhaozhao said, playfully winking at Xu Zhenzhen.
"The one taking care of you today isn’t one of Pavel’s people. Otherwise, how could I possibly have come in?"
She remembered questioning this when Song Sinian told her to follow the person tasked with caring for Xu Zhenzhen.
It was later that Song Sinian clarified her doubts.
He explained that inside Pavel’s villa, there were quite a few informants from Pavel’s side branches. These side branches had already started cooperating with them, so lending their informants was a mutually beneficial part of the arrangement.
Lu Zhaozhao, worried that Xu Zhenzhen was still anxious about her situation, relayed most of what Song Sinian had discussed with her that night.
Of course, this also included the fact that the person captured was a decoy, and that they intended to work with the side branches to overthrow Pavel.
Although there wasn’t a detailed plan, the mere feasibility gave her comfort.
At the very least, it let Xu Zhenzhen know that there was a chance to break free from the Pavlov Family.
As long as Xu Zhenzhen was hopeful and cooperated with them from the inside, it would make things much easier.
Listening to Lu Zhaozhao’s simple explanations, Xu Zhenzhen’s mind settled considerably.
What moved her even more was that neither the Xia Family nor Xia Wenqing had given up on her.
They didn’t blame her for leaving without notice nor for involving the Xia Family in trouble.
Xu Zhenzhen’s eyes reddened uncontrollably again as she gently sniffled, "Thank you, Zhaozhao, I really appreciate you all."
Lu Zhaozhao, overwhelmed by her tears, could only hold her and gently pat her back.
"You’re my future sister-in-law. If we don’t come to find you, who will? So just ease your mind and look forward to marrying my second brother."
While speaking, Lu Zhaozhao used her sleeve to wipe Xu Zhenzhen’s tears and seeing her break into a smile at last made her breathe a sigh of relief.
They had previously prevented Xia Wenqing from visiting Xu Zhenzhen here to avoid the pair becoming overly emotional, but just her visit alone had already left Xu Zhenzhen somewhat overwhelmed.
If she were to actually see her second brother, what then?
Zhenzhen’s crying was so dramatic, her second brother would probably kick her out that very night.
Although Lu Zhaozhao also wanted to get rid of Xu Zhenzhen right away, she still retained her rationality.
If she startled the snake by beating the grass now, their plan to gradually undermine the Pavlov Family might fall through.
Zhenzhen’s future life might become even more dangerous, and even the entire Xia Family and Song Family could be implicated.
She couldn’t afford to sacrifice the greater good for a small gain.
Xu Zhenzhen raised her hand to rub her nose tip, then, with reddened eyes, asked, "How is my second brother doing now?"
As she spoke these words, her little face couldn’t help blushing.
Even though Xia Wenqing was now her boyfriend, asking Lu Zhaozhao so directly still made her feel a bit shy.
Lu Zhaozhao couldn’t help but sigh, "When you first went missing, my second brother nearly went insane, but luckily, they quickly turned their attention to me and we were able to trace the clues to find your whereabouts."
Hearing this, Xu Zhenzhen felt a pang of guilt, "I’m sorry, Zhaozhao, if it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have been caught in such an undeserved disaster, and my second brother wouldn’t have gotten so injured..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? It’s not your fault at all, it’s clearly Pavel’s fault. You don’t need to blame yourself for that scumbag’s mistakes," Lu Zhaozhao looked at Xu Zhenzhen earnestly, speaking indignantly.
"Besides, if you hadn’t taken the initiative to befriend me, my situation could’ve been even worse. I’m so grateful to you, how could I possibly blame you?"
And Zhenzhen’s previous disappearance had haunted her constantly; she had always blamed herself for not being able to stop her.
Having been given a second chance at life, she was determined not to let Zhenzhen repeat the same mistake.
This time around, she wanted all her friends and loved ones to have a good ending.
Xu Zhenzhen, looking into Lu Zhaozhao’s sincere eyes, didn’t know what else to say besides hugging her.
Her Zhaozhao was simply too wonderful, irresistibly drawing people closer.
After sobbing in Lu Zhaozhao’s arms for a while, Xu Zhenzhen looked up again and said, "Alright, I’ll listen to you. I promise to be the best sister-in-law."
"Good! That’s settled," they agreed.
"Mhm!"
In the evening, when Lu Zhaozhao returned, the Xia Family and Song Sinian were almost anxiously sitting in the hotel room waiting for her.
On one hand, everyone was worried Lu Zhaozhao might have been harmed at Pavel’s villa, and on the other, they were concerned about Zhenzhen’s situation.
So, when they saw Lu Zhaozhao return safely, they almost all breathed a sigh of relief in unison.
It was only when they saw that Lu Zhaozhao’s expression was more relaxed that everyone finally felt reassured.
Wen Qingyu was the first to step forward, grabbing Lu Zhaozhao and leading her to the sofa, where she asked, "Zhaozhao, how are you? Did anyone give you a hard time? Are you hurt? How is Zhenzhen doing?"
Lu Zhaozhao glanced at Song Si, who was restlessly grasping at nothing beside her, and couldn’t help but snicker inwardly before slowly speaking to Wen Qingyu, "I’m fine, everything went smoothly."
After clearing her throat, she continued, "Zhenzhen is a bit down, but she has recovered a lot since she knew we found her. Besides that, she and the baby are both very healthy. She’ll be able to work with us from the inside when the time comes."
