After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady-Chapter 675 293: Unexpected Encounter with Zhu Xianglan, Are You Interested in My Sister?_3

"You're right, living life for oneself will be very difficult, but the outcome is surely freedom," Xu Musen softly replied with a chuckle.

Actually, Zhu Yulan's situation now is very similar to his past life.

One was to marry a rich gentleman, the other to marry into wealth as a kept man.

In others' eyes, though they lost their freedom, they were set for life in terms of food and clothing; it all seemed worthwhile.

But only those who have truly experienced it know that such a life, restricted and puppet-like, can crush a person.

After all, one lives this life for oneself, and whether it's good or bad, only they can truly know.

Zhu Xianglan squinted her eyes, staring at Xu Musen for a good while. Xu Musen spoke calmly, yet there was a kind of firmness in his tone that was immovable.

This firmness… it was just like her former self.

Just that…

Zhu Xianglan quietly chuckled, "Freedom comes at a cost, can she bear it?"

"Whether she can bear it now is uncertain, but I'm curious," Xu Musen said, his eyes meeting hers, "Zhu Yulan mentioned that her elder sister used to be even more stubborn than her."

Xu Musen continued, gazing at her, "I would like to ask you, you chose to compromise in the past, but do you feel happy now?"

Zhu Xianglan was stunned, silent for a long time, and finally, a slight smile appeared on her face.

She suddenly stepped closer, extending a finger to lift Xu Musen's chin.

Indeed, a powerful and mature woman holding significant authority, her presence was indeed oppressive.

"Young man, you certainly speak well, but reality won't change easily with your grand words. If you insist on helping her, then let me see if she can first get past this challenge from you..."

Zhu Xianglan's words carried a hint of chaotic logic.

"Let me ask again, are you helping my younger sister because you are interested in her?"

Zhu Xianglan's tone suddenly shifted, her gaze intense.

"We are just friends."

Xu Musen moved her fingers away.

"Alright, I also need to go take care of my little nephew, see you later."

Zhu Xianglan gave him another meaningful look, smiling as she turned to leave.

Xu Musen silently watched her retreating figure, then turned around, only to meet another pair of eyes full of jealousy and resentment.

The parent-teacher meeting had ended, and An Nuannuan and An Nannan had come up behind him, having witnessed the entire scene.

An Nuannuan simply watched Xu Musen with her big eyes, especially his chin that had just been lifted by Zhu Xianglan's finger.

Meanwhile, An Nannan was gritting her teeth as if she were the one about to catch a cheater in the act.

"You jerk, you, what is this..."

An Nannan struggled to find the words for a moment, as the actions they had just seen certainly didn't seem like a pure friendship between a man and a woman.

An Nuannuan then walked over, gently tousling her sister's hair with a tender expression.

Xu Musen smiled helplessly, trying to speak, but An Nuannuan simply extended a finger and lightly touched his chin as well.

"I'll listen to your explanation when we get back."

Gentle, calm, yet domineering.

She indeed had a bit of that serene and regal queenly demeanor.

Xu Musen smiled, "As you command."

...

At this moment, Zhu Xianglan watched her sobbing little nephew, lost in her thoughts.

She stared at the sky, seemingly reminiscing about something.

Was she happy…

At least, she had no regrets.

There were still things she hadn't finished.

"Big sister..."

She muttered to herself, looking at the sky, finally revealing a complex smile.

"Aunt, can you say something nice about me to mom when you get back? Otherwise, they're definitely going to spank me," her little nephew timidly asked, knowing speaking to his mom wasn't too bad, as the most she would do was spank him a couple of times.

If his dad knew, he guessed it might be harsher than seven wolves breaking.

Zhu Xianglan calmed herself, looked at her little nephew, smiled sweetly, pinching his cheeks affectionately, "Don't worry, I didn't tell your mom. I just called your dad. He said he's been missing you so much that he's driving back tonight to pamper you."
