Reborn as Tycoon's Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 630 - 451 Is it very exciting (first update)

Lan Shuixian thought of this, a look of delight in her eyes.

As long as she could survive in this world, she was willing to pay any price.

After tidying up her hair, she went out.

It had been some days since she visited Lange Yuntian, so the first thing she did upon waking was go there.

"Manager," she said upon arrival, and the manager came forward respectfully, "You’ve come?"

In the manager’s eyes, this owner had a really peculiar temperament—sometimes capricious and arrogant, at other times naive and simplistic, you could never guess what was on her mind.

However, what the owner was thinking didn’t matter; high salaries and good treatment here meant serving the boss well was paramount.

Lan Shuixian entered her own private room and dialed Men Chao’s number, her enunciation clear, "Come over now, I need to see you."

Less than half an hour later, Men Chao appeared in her room. She lit a cigarette and after puffing away for a while, she said, "Men Chao, I’ve told you before, I’m not from this era, remember that?"

"What are you trying to say?"

"I just want to tell you that Su Xiaofeng isn’t either. I want to ask you now, if in this world, only one of us can exist, whom would you rather have stay?"

Listening to her, Men Chao’s eyebrows knotted initially and then seemed to ease as if it made sense, "Neither of you are anything to me, I have no interest in who stays or leaves."

Whether it was Lan Shuixian or Su Xiaofeng, to him, neither were significant in his life; he was indifferent.

"Truly cold-hearted," Lan Shuixian scoffed. "Do you know why I sought you out initially? Because you were cold-hearted enough."

"Thanks for the compliment."

"I give you such crucial information, and you don’t thank me?"

"This news about Su Xiaofeng is irrelevant to me. My target is the suspects involved in the explosion case; Su Xiaofeng is not relevant."

"Just a second ago you were cold-hearted, now you’re all humanitarian. Don’t forget, she is Gu Family’s Young Madam, Quan Family’s Young Lady."

"So what? I never involve the innocent."

"How noble," Lan Shuixian muttered sarcastically.

"Lan Shuixian, our cooperation involves you helping me establish myself in the Imperial Capital and me collecting information for you. Beyond that, we have no other relationship. Whether you are Lan Shuixian or not, I’m not the least bit interested. To put it plainly, I can make you disappear anytime, but I can’t make Su Xiaofeng disappear just yet. You understand what I mean, right?"

"When a man can say such things, I can be one hundred percent certain, that he has feelings for that woman. Men Chao, you don’t want Su Xiaofeng to disappear because you have feelings for her, don’t you? But her heart doesn’t have room for you; it has her child, Gu Yecheng, but decidedly not you."

"If you called me here for nothing else, I need to go back. I’m very busy lately, revisiting the explosion case from years ago. If there’s nothing else, I won’t come here again. If you want to live well here, you better behave."

"Have you forgotten? I am also a victim of the explosion case; I want to investigate it with you." Lan Shuixian stood up, wrapping her arms around Men Chao’s waist from behind: "Men Chao, I’ve said before, if you help me, I will help you achieve what you want."

Men Chao grabbed her hands and slowly turned around: "I can put up with your presence, but that doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want. I don’t want to get involved in the matter between you and Su Xiaofeng."

"All I want is for you not to get involved." Lan Shuixian got the comment she wanted: "I believe in the survival of the fittest; between her and me, only one can survive."

"I’ll be waiting."

Men Chao left the clubhouse, feeling somewhat irritable.

Sitting in the car, he didn’t know where this irritability was coming from.

Whether Lan Shuixian was from this era or not, he didn’t care. Since they were both victims of the explosion case, he had agreed to cooperate with her without a second thought.

But was Su Xiaofeng really not from this era? That meant she could possibly leave this era at any time and return to her own.

Mysterious yet fascinating.

Feeling irritable, he drove to his master’s residence. His master, a perennial wanderer, understood all sorts of oddities in the world and might help him make sense of things.
