Reborn as Tycoon's Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 265 Recruiting Dark Body Physique (First Update)
Chapter 265: 265 Recruiting Dark Body Physique (First Update)
Xiaofeng listened to the voice, this is...?
She lifted her head and met Ye Cheng’s handsome and noble face. Different from the past, he was wearing a black shirt today, which made him look even more distinguished.
Ye Cheng? Hadn’t he returned to Imperial Capital? How could he be here?
Wu Ershun was the first to snap out of it, "Cheng Brother."
Ye Cheng nodded at him and held the person in his arms, seemingly reluctant to let go.
Xiaofeng found that her heart seemed to beat faster due to Ye Cheng’s arrival, and her face felt hot, unsure whether it had turned red.
She let Ye Cheng hold her, her voice so soft that only he could hear, "Didn’t you return to Imperial Capital? How did you appear here?"
"Because I figured that my wife might be in trouble here, so I came." This little wife really attracted trouble everywhere she went, making people worried wherever she was.
Xiaofeng pinched his waist lightly with her finger, "Don’t talk nonsense."
Ye Cheng quite enjoyed the pinch; the little woman wasn’t very strong, so what she called a pinch was more like a scratch.
The restaurant’s customers had already left because of the commotion, and Manager He had never seen such a scene before and shouted, "You, you... Call the police quickly, say that there’s a disturbance in the restaurant, and tell them to come over fast."
Yes, this was causing a disturbance, the police could completely arrest them.
"Call the police? Call my brother, let him bring people over." Mi Xue, her face swollen from the fall, struggled to get up from the ground.
These people dared to make trouble in the restaurant, they would soon see the consequence.
"The young master? There’s a disturbance at Mingzhu Hotel, what, you won’t handle it—no, Miss Mi was beaten, are you really not coming over?"
Whatever the person on the other end said next caused Manager He to droop his head lifelessly, "Miss Mi, the young master said that you should solve the mess you made yourself. He also said if this matter implicates the Mi Family, he won’t acknowledge you as his sister."
The young master was too heartless, the young lady was bullied so miserably, yet he wouldn’t come over to defend her.
Mi Xue couldn’t believe it, her brother had always been the most caring towards her since childhood, how could he ignore her? It must not have been her brother who answered the phone.
She snatched the brick phone from Manager He’s hand and dialed again, "Brother, it’s Xuexue. Brother, I got beaten up in our own restaurant, you have to come over quickly, or they will kill me."
"Xuexue, who on earth have you offended? The person came over and gave our father a ’great gift’, and also gave me a ’great gift’. Xuexue, it’s not that brother and father won’t help you, we really can’t. Take care of yourself, if you don’t sort out this problem, then don’t bother coming home." With a click, the line went dead.
Mi Xue, listening to her own brother’s words, thought she must have heard wrong.
Was brother joking? How could she possibly offend any influential people, absolutely impossible. The few people before her eyes were from small places, definitely without strong backgrounds.
And what was her brother saying, if she didn’t handle things well, she wouldn’t need to come back? What did he mean? He won’t recognize her anymore?
She couldn’t believe it, she refused to believe it, she had to call her mother, she had to tell her mother that her brother wouldn’t care for her and wanted to sever ties with her.
Desperately, she called her mother, "Mom, what’s wrong with brother? I’ve been bullied and he won’t even come to defend me, he also said that if I don’t handle it well, I shouldn’t come home..."
A weeping lady’s voice came from the other end of the phone, "Xuexue, who on earth have you offended? Whoever it is, they acquired all the properties under your uncle’s name within minutes, and your uncle was so angry he passed out. I’m heading to the hospital right now. Xuexue, listen to mom, if you have really offended someone, apologize to them properly, don’t throw a young lady’s tantrum. If you keep on like this, and the Mi Family and your maternal family can’t have a peaceful day because of you, it won’t just be your brother, even I’ll disown you as my daughter."
The lady on the line continued sobbing, "Xuexue, listen to mother, apologize to them properly, you definitely must apologize properly. I don’t know who they are, but they hold evidence of improper acts by your brother and your father, and they wiped out your uncle’s wealth in just a few minutes. Xuexue, you must find a way to get your uncle’s properties back, are you listening? Listen to Mom, apologize to them properly, bowing your head, kneeling down, whatever it takes, as long as they accept your apology."
Mi Xue felt like she was hearing the world’s biggest joke.
She couldn’t believe it, simply couldn’t.
With a swing of her hand, she violently smashed the phone to the ground.
The hefty brick phone landed with a thud, shattered to pieces.
Mi Xue was in intense pain all over her body, her frame collapsed to the ground, her hair a mess, and her makeup smeared from the fall.
Sitting on the ground, she looked utterly disheveled.
Mom didn’t want her anymore, nor did her brother.
No, none of this is real.
Perhaps she was picked up and wasn’t really born to her parents, and now that they know, they don’t want to acknowledge her anymore.
And her uncle’s properties, his properties are all over Haicheng, how could they just disappear?
Looking over Haicheng, who has the power to make a wealthy uncle declare bankruptcy overnight? Impossible, absolutely impossible.
So, they’re all deceiving her.
No, no, Mom couldn’t possibly lie to her. Mom loves her the most, how could she ever deceive her?
She slowly raised her head, looking at the man in the black shirt not far away.
She knew Wu Yifan’s background well, the only one whose background wasn’t clear was this black-clothed man who appeared suddenly. Who is he?
The scene was somewhat chaotic, and the speaker on the phone was quite loud. Mrs. Mi’s words to Young Lady Mi were overheard by Manager He, and not just by Manager He; the injured security guards heard them too.
Therefore, no one would come to support Young Lady Mi.
They did nothing, just watched silently as events unfolded.
Mi Xue looked at Su Xiaofeng, then at the man opposite her, and smiled, her lips curving into a bitter smile, "Su Xiaofeng, is this your man?"
It wasn’t that she wanted to admit it, but his possessiveness was too strong; she couldn’t ignore him even if she wanted to.
Xiaofeng, hearing her words, felt for the first time that this Mi Xue was indeed somewhat intelligent, "That’s right, he’s my man."
Mi Xue confirmed Ye Cheng’s identity, her eyes sparkling with admiration when she looked at him, but even more, there was the attitude of a woman set on conquest.
This man opposite her obviously stood out among others, not someone that Wu Yifan could compare with. If she could win his forgiveness or sympathy, wouldn’t that be wonderful?
She smoothed her bangs, not caring if her makeup was smeared, and then smacked herself across the face several times, "Sir, I’m sorry, I was blind to your importance and offended your lady. I truly didn’t see your worth."
Su Xiaofeng, watching Mi Xue’s ferocity towards herself, couldn’t help but comment that Mi Xue indeed had a ruthless streak. After grasping the situation, she immediately understood what she had to do.
In that moment, Mi Xue looked pitiful and her apology seemed quite sincere. Any man seeing her like that would probably find it hard to remain angry.
Xiaofeng, looking at Mi Xue in this state, smirked slightly, "Husband, Miss Mi looks really pitiable. Considering she didn’t kick our baby, maybe we should give her a chance?"
Mi Xue glared at Xiaofeng.
She had only thought about it, she hadn’t actually kicked, and now Xiaofeng bringing it up was clearly intending for her not to be forgiven.
"Miss Su, I’m sorry, I truly didn’t do it on purpose. When Miss Su grabbed my hand, I thought she was going to hit me, and I reflexively thought to fight back. Though I’m not a mother myself, I know the saying ’the sin does not extend to the child,’ how could I possibly even think about harming an unborn baby?"
Her voice was frail, lacking the arrogance and haughtiness from before.
Su Xiaofeng couldn’t help but think, life is full of Oscar-worthy performances, and it was a waste for these people not to be actors in the twenty-first century.
Listening to the other party’s voice made her feel revolted; this Mi Xue was treating her as if she were dead, brazenly trying to seduce Ye Cheng.
Snuggling into Ye Cheng’s embrace, her voice was filled with pity, "Husband, what do you think, should we forgive her? She looks so pitiable, maybe we should..."
Ye Cheng had already been entranced by Xiaofeng’s address of ’husband’, his body felt like it was floating on clouds, his head in a blissful fog.
Ye Cheng hugged his wife’s waist tightly, his expression quickly returning to calm, "I didn’t do anything to her, why should she ask us for forgiveness?"
Xiaofeng blinked, "What’s happening with her family has nothing to do with you."
Ye Cheng chuckled softly, "Wife, don’t you know how capable your man is? I’m just a barefoot doctor, I don’t have the power to affect the Mi Family of Haicheng. Probably Miss Mi is used to being high-profile; she offended us and must have offended someone else at the same time, hence her current predicament. I was too busy looking at you just now, and I haven’t even had a good meal yet. Join me for a meal."
Su Xiaofeng nodded, "Okay." But in her heart, she was still guessing whether the Mi Family’s trouble had anything to do with Ye Cheng.
