After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 81 - : No, absolutely not!
Chapter 81: Chapter 81: No, absolutely not!
Yet some people seemed completely oblivious to the oddity of the situation just now and continued the meeting with their usual nonchalance.
Zhao Xi secretly captured the moment everyone’s jaws dropped, full of satisfaction.
Seeing their expressions, as if they had been struck by lightning, brought instant balance to his heart.
Indeed, this “sin” shouldn’t be borne by him alone.
It would only be fair if everyone shared the burden of “eating dog food.”
Fortunately, the staff of Song Group were quick to adapt, and it didn’t take long before they refocused on the meeting.
...
Lu Zhaozhao was on the side, munching on snacks and half-listening, when suddenly her cellphone vibrated.
She glanced at the caller ID, nodded slightly to Song Sinian and Zhao Xi, and quietly left the office.
She exited the meeting room and dashed to the farthest fire escape to answer the call.
This was the president’s floor, and generally quite deserted.
“Hello, second brother?” Lu Zhaozhao’s soft voice came through and took Xia Wenqing by surprise.
This was the first time he had heard her use that term since she returned to the Lu Family.
When Xia Wenjin was home, she would only stiffly say “second brother” when she needed his help; normally, she couldn’t care less to exchange a single word with him.
Not to mention hearing the tender address of “second brother.”
Xia Wenqing squinted slightly, his facial expression softened noticeably, “Zhaozhao, the water sample you sent has been tested, and indeed it contains medicinal components.”
Lu Zhaozhao tensed up upon hearing this, “Is it poison?”
She had merely suspected that Mr. Song’s accident might have been deliberate, never imagining that someone would daringly drug him.
“Zhaozhao, don’t be nervous, the drugs found in the water are oral hypoglycemic drugs,” Xia Wenqing immediately soothed her upon hearing her urgency.
Lu Zhaozhao raised an eyebrow, “Could it be someone just put the medicine in the water for convenience?”
If that was the case, the incident would simply be an accident.
But Xia Wenqing quickly dashed her hopes, “No one would put a three-day dosage into the water for that purpose.”
The implication was clear.
The water that Old Master Song drank had definitely been tampered with.
After saying this, Xia Wenqing added, “This matter is not simple, be very careful about your safety before we can ascertain who drugged Mr. Song, and don’t tell anyone.”
Whoever dared to harm Mr. Song must hold a significant position within the Song Family; if such a person targeted Lu Zhaozhao, she would be in danger.
Naturally, Lu Zhaozhao understood this. She pursed her lips and said, “Don’t worry, second brother, I won’t be impulsive.”
“Okay, you can contact me any time if anything happens, I know many people here who can help,” Xia Wenqing was still a bit worried and didn’t forget to remind her again before hanging up.
“Mm, I know, thanks, second brother.”
Lu Zhaozhao hung up the phone and couldn’t help but sigh lightly as she stood by the window.
She had suspected something earlier and had the water that Old Master Song drank tested.
Now that the results were out, she wasn’t sure what to do next.
Should she tell Song Sinian directly?
With her current capabilities, she couldn’t meddle in the affairs of the Song Mansion, but if she told Song Sinian, how could she explain why she had sent the bottle for testing without telling him?
Lu Zhaozhao thought for a moment, sighed deeply again, and decided to admire the view outside the window, leaning against its side.
After a while, a deep voice came from behind her, “What are you thinking about?”
The corridor was empty, his voice echoing in the long hallway.

Lu Zhaozhao’s eyes drooped, unsure of what to say, and chose silence instead.
Song Sinian’s brows lifted slightly, and he cupped her chin in his hand, planting a kiss on her lips, “So, are you planning to wait until after I’ve kissed you before you tell me, or will you say it now?”
As he spoke, the pad of his thumb gently brushed her rosy lips, his deft touch reminding her of the time Song Sinian “consulted” her about why her face was hot.
Lu Zhaozhao swallowed hard, her gaze involuntarily moving to the corridor’s security camera.
No, absolutely not!
“I… I, I’ll say!” Lu Zhaozhao took a deep breath, ready to spill everything.
She pulled Song Sinian into a surveillance blind spot and then whispered, “I… After I saved grandpa in the mountains, I had the water he drank tested…”
Lu Zhaozhao’s words halted there, her gaze involuntarily seeking Song Sinian’s, as if bracing for his reproach.
But Song Sinian simply looked back at her, urging her to continue, showing no signs of blaming her.
Lu Zhaozhao was momentarily stunned but quickly caught on, “Grandpa’s water contained a large amount of hypoglycemic drugs, I suspect the accident last time might have been intentional.”
Song Sinian’s dark eyes narrowed slightly, and he took hold of Lu Zhaozhao’s small hand, asking very seriously, “Apart from you, who else knows about this?”
Lu Zhaozhao thought Song Sinian was worried about the Song Family’s affairs being leaked and quickly explained, “I only asked my second brother for help; he wouldn’t reveal it.”
After all, Xia Wenqing was a lawyer and had a basic level of professional integrity.
She might not be his client, but his concern seemed genuine as a brother.
Song Sinian squeezed her small hand, “If this matter is intentional, everyone in the Song Family, including anyone who could have approached the old man, is a suspect, so you mustn’t get involved anymore, understand?”
“Uh…” Lu Zhaozhao’s mouth opened, but before she could finish, Song Sinian’s lips were on hers, and then as if punishing her, he bit her lip.
Lu Zhaozhao blinked her eyes in confusion, looking at him as he said in a deep voice, “I’m not sure what you are thinking, but your safety always comes first with me.”
…
Lu Zhaozhao was visibly stunned by his words.
Before she could recover, Song Sinian spoke again, “You can do anything you want, but it must be on the condition that you ensure your safety, understand? As long as you are safe, even if you bring down the sky, it doesn’t matter.”
Lu Zhaozhao’s small hands almost covered her mouth in surprise.
If she didn’t know Song Sinian had a communication disorder, she would have truly believed he was a master of romance; his sweet nothings were so touching and heartfelt.
Every word touched her heart.
Lu Zhaozhao’s face inevitably flushed, and she silently took Song Sinian’s larger hand, nodding gently…
