In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband

"Alright," Xu Jinzhi nodded her head and stood up to see Song You off.

Just as the two stepped out of the office, they encountered Xu Zhen. Song You greeted him politely, and Xu Zhen responded with a smile.

After Song You had left, Xu Jinzhi then asked Xu Zhen, "Chairman Xu, were you looking for me about something?"

"Let’s talk in the office," Xu Zhen glanced at Xu Jinzhi, his eyes hinting at something more profound.

Xu Jinzhi raised her eyebrows slightly, wondering if Xu Zhen had also come to know about the situation with Zhao Qinghe.

So, she didn’t say much and followed Xu Zhen back to her own office first.

But once they reached the office, Xu Zhen was first to notice several bags on the sofa in the reception area, and there was even a piece of clothing that hadn’t been tucked into a bag yet.

Upon closer inspection, Xu Zhen realized they were children’s dresses, small enough only for a little girl. Thinking of his granddaughter, Xu Zhen couldn’t help but smile.

He then said to Xu Jinzhi, "In a few days, I’ll also go buy some clothes for the baby."

"Then please don’t buy any more dresses," Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help saying.

Xu Zhen turned to look at Xu Jinzhi, not quite understanding her meaning.

Xu Jinzhi explained further, "Tuantuan is a baby boy. He can’t really be wearing dresses every day, can he?"

Xu Zhen was initially surprised, then laughed and asked, "Did you ask the doctor?"

Nowadays, doctors aren’t allowed to disclose the baby’s sex, but there are many ways to find out if one wishes to know. Xu Zhen wasn’t too surprised.

But Xu Jinzhi shook her head, and Xu Zhen’s confusion returned, "Then how did you find out?"

"When we had the ultrasound, the doctor didn’t tell me, but Xie Yanchuan figured it out on his own." Xu Jinzhi had been angry about it before, but now she only found it amusing.

Xu Zhen quickly understood; he didn’t know much about his son-in-law’s profession, but it was roughly in the medical field, so it wasn’t strange for him to figure it out.

"Alright, I’ll buy something else, not the dresses," Xu Zhen laughed.

After briefly discussing the matter, Xu Jinzhi asked Xu Zhen, "You’re being so secretive, is there something you want to tell me?"

"Yes, there is something," Xu Zhen’s smile faded, and he spoke to Xu Jinzhi with a serious expression, "Xiao Song came to see you, did she come to talk to you about Zhao Qinghe?"

Xu Jinzhi realized, it was indeed about that matter.

"Yes, she told me," Xu Jinzhi nodded.

"Does she know that Song Jian, that old bastard, is planning to have her marry Zhao Qinghe?" Xu Zhen continued, his face filled with disdain as he spoke.

Xu Jinzhi was startled. What was this development?

After brainstorming for a while, Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help but ask, "What is Song Jian’s purpose in doing this?"

Xu Zhen shrugged, "He’s got a problem with his brain, how would I know what he’s thinking? But it’s likely that woman’s idea."

That woman naturally referred to the one Song Jian had an affair with.

Xu Jinzhi fell silent for a few seconds, also thinking it likely to be Tan Yuanyuan’s idea.

As for the purpose of doing so...

Song Yun had grown up, and if Tan Yuanyuan didn’t come up with a plan soon, once Song Yun got to the company and steadied her footing, Tan Yuanyuan and Song Xi would truly have no place in the Song Family.

Meanwhile, the Zhao family was primarily developing in S City. If Song You married Zhao Qinghe, she would be moving to another region. Even if Song You was highly capable, the distance would render her somewhat helpless, and she couldn’t just ignore everything and focus solely on this place.

Another important point was that Song Jian now dared not lay a finger on Song You. First, because Song You was capable and second, because she had a good friend like Xu Jinzhi, who supported her like a real sister would.

Song Jian and his group must have found out about what Xu Jinzhi had been doing behind the scenes to the Zhao family, knowing that Xu Jinzhi and the Zhao family were not on good terms.

If Song You married Zhao Qinghe, she would naturally side with her husband. What about Xu Jinzhi then?

Naturally, they would also gradually drift apart.

Xu Jinzhi wouldn’t help Song You anymore, and consequently, wouldn’t support Song Yun either.

Guessing the Song Family’s true intentions, Xu Jinzhi also felt that only Tan Yuanyuan could have come up with such a convoluted plan, considering how idle she was all day long.

"Just give Xiao Song a heads-up about this matter, what I really need to talk to you about is Zhao Qinghe." Xu Zhen redirected the conversation once again.

"I don’t know what he’s planning to do, but you should be careful recently anyway. Even a cornered rabbit will bite, let alone something that’s not a rabbit at all."

"Who knows whether he’ll suddenly act recklessly and cause trouble."

Xu Zhen spoke to Xu Jinzhi in a calm tone, though deep down he was anything but calm. He cared for Xu Jinzhi, his significant person, more than anyone else, so he naturally felt extremely anxious and worried.

That was why he came to Xu Jinzhi as soon as possible, to warn her.

After speaking, Xu Zhen paused for a few seconds before continuing, "I should still arrange for a couple of people to protect you."

"Is that really necessary?" Xu Jinzhi frowned slightly, thinking about the issues related to Zhao Qinghe in her previous life, and then realizing she didn’t have much impression of him.

After trying hard to recall, Xu Jinzhi finally remembered some things related to Zhao Qinghe. It seemed Zhao Qinghe was married, but his spouse had nothing to do with Song You.

However, after discovering later in her previous life that Xu Zhen’s injury was caused by Zhao Lei, during her retaliation against the Zhao family, Zhao Lei didn’t bear the responsibility alone like he did in this life.

Many people were imprisoned along with him, Zhao Qinghe included.

Beyond that, Xu Jinzhi couldn’t recall anything else related to Zhao Qinghe.

"I’m not at ease. I’ll have someone protect you for a while and I’ll keep an eye on Zhao Qinghe to see what he’s up to." Xu Zhen disregarded Xu Jinzhi’s refusal and made the decision directly.

Xu Jinzhi didn’t say much more, although she felt in her heart that Zhao Qinghe wouldn’t dare to do anything, but what if Zhao Qinghe lost his mind?

She couldn’t afford to take that bet.

Living life all over again, everything was developing in a great direction, and she wanted to live well.

After discussing this matter, Xu Zhen finally left the office.

Once Xu Zhen had left, Xu Jinzhi didn’t hesitate to call Song You, telling her about Song Jian’s plans and advising her to be more cautious.

After hearing Xu Jinzhi’s words, Song You fell into a long silence.

She likely couldn’t understand why her own father hated her so much.

She was Song Jian’s biological daughter, sharing the same blood as Song Jian, and should have been a very important person to him.

Yet, why did Song Jian always seek to hurt her as if she were his enemy?
