Reborn as Tycoon's Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 480 - 389 Blinding Method_3

Of course, having befriended Shuiling and saved her before, he could help the other party unconditionally.

"It’s my honor," she said, thinking that finding a major collaborator would indeed take her business to the next level. As she spoke, she picked up a White Rabbit Creamy Candy from the tray and tossed it into her mouth.

Sweet, very sweet.

As they chatted, it was time for the songs. Xiaonian shook Xiaofeng’s hand: "Sis, I heard the singer performing here tonight is a really popular star. Usually hard to get a glimpse of, and I wonder what sort of connections this club’s owner has to be able to invite a celebrity like that."

"You should see where we are. Only the elite of the Imperial Capital sit here. If someone extends an invitation, I guess many would want to come here to sing." Xiaonian was still too young.

Here, among the elite, just getting to know any high-ranking official could turn out to be a stroke of luck for them.

Xiaofeng suddenly felt her stomach cramping, a discomfort suggestive of eating something bad, that churning, overturning sensation.

"Xiaonian, I need to rush to the restroom," Xiaofeng said and headed for the restroom.

She wasn’t sure if it was something she ate, but she had diarrhea.

Finally emerging from the restroom, she saw Xu Xuezi applying lipstick in front of a mirror. Xu Xuezi didn’t appear surprised to see Xiaofeng there at all.

She turned around, leaned against the countertop facing Xiaofeng, and a faint sneer graced her lips: "Ms. Su, what a coincidence, we meet again."

"It’s not really a coincidence; this is a public place. It’s normal to meet here."

"True," Xu Xuezi laughed.

Today, she was wearing a feathered hat, the latest fashion from abroad, looking every bit like a distinguished young lady from overseas.

Elegant, noble, and generous.

She delicately picked up a cigarette: "Would you like one?"

Those who grow up in the Imperial Capital, regardless of gender or age, tend to smoke.

Xiaofeng shook her head: "No, thanks, I don’t like the smell."

"That’s right, Ms. Su didn’t grow up in the Imperial Capital, so you’re probably not accustomed to smoking. Not to hide it from you, whether male or female, old or young, most people who grow up or live in the Imperial Capital for a long time get into the habit of smoking. You grew up in a small mountain village, so I understand why you aren’t used to such luxury items."

Therefore, where you grow up is very important.

Where you grow up is where your habits form, and these things are etched into your bones. They don’t change because of whom you’ve married or where you’ve returned to.

She wouldn’t change, nor would Su Xiaofeng.

So, who will survive in the Imperial Capital in the future, nobody can really say.

"Smoking too much is harmful, just like drinking too much harms the stomach," Xiaofeng clearly understood the insinuations in the other’s words: "I’m very repelled by things that don’t suit me, no matter how upscale they are."

"Gu Yecheng’s status is noble enough, isn’t it? Are you suitable for him? In my opinion, he is like the most upscale cigarette in the Imperial Capital. Ultimately, you and he will clash. High-end cigarettes should be paired with those who understand them and match them."

"Even if he and I are a mismatch, you will never have a chance with him," Xiaofeng said with a light smile, stretching out her delicate hand to wash it: "Ms. Xu, you’re already married; you haven’t forgotten that fact, have you? No matter how incompatible I am with him, I’m his wife by registration, and my current title is the Young Madam of the Gu Family."

"Don’t be too pleased with yourself. Sooner or later, I’ll pull you down from the position of Young Madam of the Gu Family, and even Gu Yecheng from his heir status. I have to make him realize just what he has lost," Xu Xuezi definitely harbored hatred in her heart.

She had thought Gu Yecheng had feelings for her, but in the end, everything was just her wishful thinking. How could she not hate that? frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

"Ms. Xu’s words..." Xiaofeng shook her hands dry and picked up a towel to wipe them: "Ms. Xu, that’s a good idea. You did the same thing last time. But haven’t you forgotten, your grandfather still has a grip on my Yecheng? If you act so blatantly against Yecheng, are you not afraid of pushing the Xu Family into an irretrievable situation?" She definitely could not appear less imposing than Xu Xuezi.

Thinking of something, she raised her delicate eyebrows: "Or perhaps, your real goal isn’t the Gu Family but to seize your grandfather’s power? Your actions against Yecheng could just be a smoke screen."

It was a possibility, after all.
