Reborn as Tycoon's Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 638 - 454 behaves after a beating (second update)

Yes, she ridiculed Su Xiaofeng today, and also expressed doubts about her, which seemed somewhat unreasonable, but it was not just her who looked down on Su Xiaofeng; many people in the Imperial Capital did too.

A woman who married into the Gu Family by means, how many could truly respect her?

After getting out of the car, she immediately booked a room; she wanted to stay there quietly for a while.

Back then, she and Xiuze had met and fallen in love, on the verge of getting married, when an explosion occurred, forever freezing her Xiuze in that year.

Since then, her heart had not been able to accommodate anyone else.

They were not Xiuze; of course, they couldn’t reach her heart.

A waiter brought in a cup of milk tea, the cup holding the milk tea was incredibly beautiful, a crystal glass that sparkled, somewhat lifting her spirits.

When Haige saw the person coming in, she barely reacted, merely lifting her eyelids as the waiter settled down beside her.

Haige looked up, examining the woman in front of her.

The woman wasn’t tall, roughly 160 cm, with an average build, wearing the uniform of a waiter here; it was not apparent what she intended to do.

"Feeling down?" Lan Shuixian spoke first, "Have some of this."

"Please leave; I don’t need service here, I just want to sit alone quietly for a while."

"Looking at you, it seems like you’ve been wronged," Lan Shuixian didn’t leave, but moved the milk tea closer, "If you feel wronged, you can talk to me about it. We are strangers; talking it out will surely ease your heart, otherwise keeping it to yourself will definitely make you ill."

"Do your services here also include relieving worries? Are there other special services?" Haige asked, finding her words amusing.

"I definitely don’t have special services here, but of course, a woman who has sealed off her emotions for too long needs to properly vent, don’t you think?"

"You don’t understand, the man I loved died a long time ago, in an explosion, and since then, I have had no other lover."

"The two people who used to be my life also died in an explosion; since then, I no longer have my parents in this world," Lan Shuixian sighed softly.

"Your parents also died in an explosion, when did it happen?" Haige was moved.

"I don’t remember the exact time, I was only a child, hardly able to remember anything, maybe one year old, maybe two, maybe three or five, it’s been so long I have forgotten."

"It turns out we are both unfortunate. I lost the love of my life, you lost the two most beloved people," Haige said, feeling a connection with her, "It seems we both have stories."

"Feeling a bit better?"

"Actually, it’s not so much about feeling wronged," Haige took a sip of the milk tea, its chill soothing the fires within her.

The exchange between them surprisingly gave off a feeling of ’meeting too late.’

...

On the way back, Gu Dabao climbed onto Xiaofeng’s lap, face to face with her, "Mommy, did that auntie today not welcome us inside?"

"There was no unwelcome, just some misunderstanding between her and me," Xiaofeng touched his little cheek, "Dabao helped Mommy a lot today, calling grandma over to drink."

"I just chatted with grandma for a bit."

"Grandma is a kind-hearted person."

"Mommy is too."

Xiaofeng, touched by his words, felt a surge of emotion.

This is probably what setting an example is all about, holding them close in her arms, feeling a mix of emotions.

If the original host were to come back that day and she had to leave here, she thought she would feel regret because here, she had Erbao, whom she loved and who loved her.

She vividly felt the ten months they had spent in her womb. Although the birth was harrowing, they were safely born.

"Mommy loves you."

"Mommy," the boy and girl twins snuggled in her arms and cooed, "we love you too."

Xiaofeng held them, unable to imagine the days ahead without them.

But the body was originally the host’s, even the children were the host’s; what right did she have to wish the host wouldn’t return?

When it came down to it, she was the one who should leave.

She dared not imagine that scene; just thinking about it tore her heart apart.

But the body wasn’t hers, and everything here was an illusion. Perhaps she might wake up from a dream, and everything would disappear. If the original host were to return, she couldn’t do anything but cherish the time she had with them.

"Mommy, what’s wrong, You seem to have cried." Xiaobao noticed his mother’s eyes were wet, and when he touched them, they indeed felt damp.

"Mommy is just so happy. What have I done to deserve you?"

The mother and her children hugged each other tightly. Sitting in the front row, Elder Gu watched them with endless emotion, thinking what had the Gu Family done to deserve you all.

...

"President Su." Right after getting home, she saw Zhao Youqian waiting at the Gu Family’s gate. Seeing Xiaofeng alighting from the car, he immediately approached.

Because Gu Xiaonian had spoken for her, he had surrendered himself and only received a reprimand instead of a sentence. He failed the assessment at the electronics factory and couldn’t join, and since Chengbei needed a lot of manpower, Xiaofeng had him take a few fellow villagers to Chengbei’s factory.

He had only left for less than two days, why had he come back?

"Weren’t you in Chengbei? Why are you back already?" Xiaofeng asked Elder Gu to bring the children home while she talked with Zhao Youqian outside.

"Yes, I was," Zhao Youqian said anxiously, "Brother Ming asked me to come over. Someone from the factory, they injured a villager next door, and when the villager’s kin came to seek justice, they were met with hostility. Guess what, several neighboring villages got together, and now they won’t let us operate the factory there anymore. Brother Ming tried to call you, but you weren’t home. He had to send me to talk to you about how to manage this situation."

"Was there a conflict with the local villagers?" Xiaofeng asked, raising her eyebrows. "Who injured the local villager?"

"It was the tall guys."

"Then it must be Wolfman’s men. Come on, get in the car; let’s go to Wolfman’s place." If it was Wolfman’s men, then naturally, they had to manage it.

Zhao Youqian didn’t know what Xiaofeng intended, but he got in the car, trusting her completely.

As Xiaofeng approached, Feifei was just about to leave. Seeing Xiaofeng, she took off her sunglasses somewhat surprised: "Isn’t this the Young Madam? Young Madam, is there something urgent?"

"Actually, I need to talk to you. Get in the car." Xiaofeng didn’t waste time with small talk, urging her to get in.

Feifei chuckled: "You tell me to get in, and I should just get in? Why should I listen to you? Although we are in a cooperative relationship, you are not my boss. I have no reason to obey you."

"Your people are causing trouble in Chengbei. If you still want to continue our cooperation, come with me. If you no longer want to continue, just say so. The factory hasn’t started yet, and we can cancel our cooperation at any time." Xiaofeng wasn’t afraid of Feifei.

Feifei listened, giving a light laugh: "I thought it was something serious. You scared me with all this urgency; I thought it was an emergency."

Xiaofeng, tired of her nonchalance, saw her get in the car and immediately stepped on the gas.

Feifei’s subordinates saw her get in the car and quickly followed in another vehicle.

"Young Madam, I’ve seen a lot of these situations; it’s nothing unusual. I’ll tell you, my people wouldn’t cause trouble without reason. It must be some villagers not cooperating. I’m telling you, if villagers don’t cooperate, giving them a lesson settles it. We just need to let those villagers understand our stance. There’s no need to take them too seriously. If we take them too seriously, they’ll get cocky, thinking we have to beg them since we’re setting up the factory there."

Just some unreasonable villagers; dealing with such people was her specialty—a beating, and they’d behave.
