Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law-Chapter 1441 - 1460: Happy Events

The blond man’s eyes widened in astonishment. "Come on, tell me, what good thing has happened in society to make you so happy?" He was really too curious, because in the eyes of all the classmates and professors, Yun Qi, who came from the mysterious East, really seemed like someone with little emotional fluctuation.

When he had a cold expression, everyone was afraid of him. He didn’t even participate in any clubs or extracurricular activities; all he did besides studying was making money. It has to be said, Yun Qi’s talent for making money seemed to be innate and formidable.

Oh right! He liked fighting, but that was also a hobby he developed later on.

"It’s a secret for now." Gongxi Yunqi took the initiative to pat the blond man’s shoulder. "Listen, Charlie, I need to ask for leave and will be away for a while. It’s all up to you in the meantime."

"Where are you going?" Charlie was shocked to hear that he was leaving. "Our company has just started, what am I supposed to do if you’re gone?"

"I believe in your abilities, you will definitely do better than me."

"That’s not true!" Charlie muttered quietly. "Crafty Easterner, my brain is no match for your cleverness."

Gongxi Yunqi heard this but wasn’t angry; instead, he appreciated Charlie’s frank personality.

Leng Ran’s Christmas dinner was to be held at her villa in the city district. The villa area here was actually built very beautifully, but because it is too close to the red-light district, the market wasn’t very good. After all, as the scale of the red-light district grew, nobody wanted to live in such a chaotic place.

The so-called red-light district is actually Dark Street.

In fact, the villa area where Leng Ran lived had already been surreptitiously included under the influence of Dark Street.

When Nan Fei got out of the car, she caught sight of the place where she and Fu Xinwu had left Lu Dongxin behind not too far away. She couldn’t help standing there, her gaze somber as she looked at Dark Street, which was a world apart from the villa district.

He Shasha came over at some point, "What are you looking at?" After she finished asking, she suddenly realized something, her delicate brows furrowed, "Is this all Leng Ran’s territory?"

"That’s right!"

He Shasha’s voice was cold as she said, "No wonder she has changed. With more territory and power, it’s natural to change."

"If it were you, would you change?"

"Of course not."

Nan Fei shrugged her shoulders, "Then that settles it."

"You make sense. We don’t need to make excuses for anyone." He Shasha showed a serious expression, turned around, and looked at the villa entrance bustling with people. Among them, many were from the business world, people she had met through He Rongxi.

Despite her young age, Leng Ran already had far more than her peers. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"I really don’t know what her motive is for insisting we come today." For He Shasha, such an event was the type where someone like the sly fox He Rongxi should be present.

"Her goal is to force me, to cooperate with her." Nan Fei had a clear understanding of the situation and withdrew her gaze from the opposite side to walk shoulder to shoulder with He Shasha into the villa. As they entered, she cast an inadvertent glance back, and after her eyes swept over the shadows at the street corner opposite, a confident smile emerged at the corner of her mouth.

"She really is a big villain." He Shasha was so angry she was trembling; if it weren’t for Nan Fei holding her back, she might have exploded.

"It’s okay, stay calm. Just because she wants to work with me, doesn’t mean I have to cooperate with her." Nan Fei also had a rebellious streak. If Leng Ran had been upfront and honest with her from the start, she might have softened and let down her guard.
