Reborn as Tycoon's Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 261 Dare to touch her and see (first update)
Chapter 261: 261 Dare to touch her and see (first update)
Su Xiaofeng had originally wanted the sales clerk to pack up the clothes for her, but as she listened to Mi Xue’s words, anger rose in her heart.
She no longer wanted the clothes and walked out of the store to stand in front of Wu Yifan, "Yo, which place did this young lady come from, dressed like that? I almost thought you were a woman coming out of a nightclub; it’s giving me goosebumps."
In her former life, although she and her younger brother would often bicker, whenever she or her brother were bullied, she would be the first one to rush forward.
Now, hearing what Mi Xue said about Wu Yifan, she almost instinctively positioned herself in front of Wu Yifan.
Wu Yifan didn’t want to mind the words that Mi Xue said about him; it was true that he was as thin as a rail and suffering from a major illness that was unknown to others.
So, whatever others wanted to say was fine, as long as he could stay alive.
But the sudden act of Su Xiaofeng speaking up for him still startled him—she—.
Listening to Su Xiaofeng’s words, Mi Xue was furious, raising her hand to slap Su Xiaofeng: "Where did this bumpkin jump out from? Daring to say I come from a nightclub, you look more like a wild girl from the countryside than anyone else, without a hint of manners."
Before Mi Xue’s hand could land, a slender, bony hand powerfully grasped the other’s hand ready to strike, "Mi Xue, try touching her and see."
"Wu Yifan." Mi Xue had lost all the fondness she had for Wu Yifan during their school days: "You’re good, very good. To think I even told my dad you were a talent, wanting to introduce you this time, for him to take a look. I never imagined you letting such a woman slander me like this, and you even dare to lay hands on me, great, really impressive."
With a flick of her wrist, Mi Xue left furiously: "You just wait; you’ll regret this."
Just some bumpkins coming from a faraway countryside, daring to challenge her, a born and bred Haicheng citizen with a family background, they would regret it.
Watching Mi Xue storm off, Yang Zhenye sighed looking at Wu Yifan: "Yifan, you don’t know her, she’s always had the temper of a Young Lady. You’ve offended her; she definitely won’t let it go easily."
Mi Xue’s family background in Haicheng was decent, far surpassing Wu Yifan’s in many ways. Mi Xue had taken an interest in Wu Yifan while they were in school, otherwise, she wouldn’t have made the effort to meet with Yifan today specifically.
Xiaofeng felt somewhat embarrassed listening to Yang Zhenye’s words.
Just now, she had treated Wu Yifan like her own younger brother, so when someone said something bad about Wu Yifan, she was almost the first to rush out.
"Yifan, I’m sorry." Xiaofeng looked in the direction Mi Xue had left: "Maybe you should go after her and say something nice. I mistook you for another friend just now, so I reacted a bit too fiercely." freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Yes, Wu Yifan was not her brother, even if they looked similar.
Her brother was still living well in the 21st century, taking care of their parents for her, and he had to keep living well.
"It’s fine, I need to thank you for defending me like a friend." When Xiaofeng spoke up for him just now, a warm feeling had surged in his heart.
He initially thought his life would end this summer, this summer, not only had his illness gotten better, but he had also met the woman Su Xiaofeng.
"About Mi Xue, she was always somewhat arrogant during school," Yang Zhenye led them towards the office: "It was her fault to begin with, and there’s nothing wrong with you defending Yifan."
"Exactly, Mi Xue is so annoying. My sister-in-law is cooler," someone spoke in a strange tone to their brother; having such a person for a sister-in-law would truly be sad.
Xiaofeng smiled awkwardly, "Actually, that Mi Xue is quite pretty, as for her words, she must be used to being sharp-tongued." Yes, Haicheng women are notorious for their cutting words; if she had not intervened just now, Wu Yifan wouldn’t have taken Mi Xue’s words to heart either.
"You don’t need to feel embarrassed." Wu Yifan saw Xiaofeng’s embarrassment: "I don’t really have any relationship with her, but I’m a man and we were classmates, so tearing our faces wouldn’t be good. I know that just now you truly regarded me as a friend."
Xiaofeng smiled and said no more.
Facing a face identical to her brother’s, the sisterly instinct within her would occasionally surface.
After all, to encounter someone in Another World who looked exactly like her brother, wasn’t that a kind of fate?
In the office, Yang Zhenye had a taste of the samples Xiaofeng brought and, with a grand gesture, wanted to sign an agreement with Xiaofeng for twenty thousand boxes of supply.
Xiaofeng smiled, "Mr. Yang, we are both businessmen, and there are steps we must follow one by one. Let’s start with a trial sale here for a month to see how it goes, and if the results are good, we can sign then."
Xiaofeng also wanted to secure such a big shopping mall, but the other party’s readiness made her a bit uneasy, better to be cautious.
If sales were good in Mingzhu Mall, they would want to sign for thirty thousand boxes, or even forty thousand wouldn’t be a problem.
Leaving Mingzhu Mall, the three of them went straight back to the hotel arranged by Yang Zhenye, the Wu Yifan brothers in one room, and Xiaofeng by herself in another.
In Yang Zhenye’s office, Mi Xue looked down disdainfully at Yang Zhenye, "Yang Zhenye, don’t forget how you got to where you are today. What do you mean today? Letting other women bully me and you don’t even speak up."
Yang Zhenye walked over and pressed down on Mi Xue’s shoulders, "You said you wanted to test Yifan’s reaction, and I just did what you wanted. I know you feel wronged today. After all, that woman Yifan brought is really out of line. Don’t worry, dealing with such a woman doesn’t require your involvement; I can take care of it here."
Listening to his words, Mi Xue’s expression eased somewhat, "What are you planning to do?"
"She’s in charge of a food factory, and I just happen to have signed a supply agreement. If any problems arise during the supply period, we, as the recipient, can hold her accountable," Yang Zhenye stated calmly.
Hearing this, Mi Xue sneered, "Hmph, I’ve always found that woman disagreeable. Who does she think she is, daring to say I came from a nightclub? She should look at herself first."
"She’s just a little village girl from the countryside, how can she compare to you? In my heart, you are the most beautiful," Yang Zhenye comforted, massaging her shoulders, "You always liked Yifan during college, and now seeing him like this, you can let go of him."
"I just wanted to see what the former academic star has turned into nowadays," Mi Xue curled her lip, "Yang Zhenye, let me warn you, don’t forget how you got to sit in your current position."
"Of course I know," Yang Zhenye’s eyes flashed with resentment, fleeting, "Mi Xue, you say you don’t like me, then why do you help me?"
Turning around, Mi Xue lifted Yang Zhenye’s chin with a hand, "Because you are Wu Yifan’s brother. During school, I liked Wu Yifan, which you know full well. But he never even gave me a proper look. As his good brother, when you needed help, of course I’d lend a hand. Plus, you have been obedient, not letting me down. Keep working hard, let Wu Yifan see what kind of life you lead because of me. Also, let him see what life is like without Mi Xue."
"After walking away from Ghost Gate once, he’s even less likely now for you, why bother making things difficult for him?" Women can be very petty when it comes to their feelings.
Yang Zhenye was aware of the matter between Mi Xue and Wu Yifan.
Apparently, Mi Xue once wrote a love letter to Wu Yifan, which he did not even read and simply threw away.
It was probably because of this that Mi Xue held a grudge against Wu Yifan.
For Wu Yifan, it was a trivial matter, but for Mi Xue, it was a major incident that insulted her dignity, and she harbored resentment ever since.
"Yeah, he’s had a brush with Ghost Gate," Mi Xue sneered upon hearing this, "Such a proud man, contracting such a disease and still alive instead of dying, really is a surprise."
Listening to her, doubt flickered in Yang Zhenye’s eyes. Mi Xue knew about Wu Yifan’s illness. Wu Yifan hadn’t even told him, only mentioning he had been diagnosed with a terminal disease and feared he wouldn’t live long.
Later on, he made contact saying he encountered a miracle doctor, and was cured.
Though doubtful, he did not voice his question; he could not afford to offend Mi Xue lightly right now.
"Hearing he was near death was his good fortune; it’s thanks to the husband of the woman he met today, who they say is an exceptional healer."
"Mind your own business," Mi Xue scoffed, then coldly huffed, thinking of something, "However, seeing Wu Yifan now, looking neither human nor ghost, actually delights me. Who would have thought that the esteemed gentleman of the past would turn into this ghastly sight? Him, a student from a modest background daring to trample on my face and dignity. Now look, it’s truly satisfying."
Hearing her words, Yang Zhenye frowned deeply, she...
Getting up, Mi Xue patted Yang Zhenye’s face, "Don’t be scared. Rest assured, as long as you know your place, I’ll naturally keep you in this position. Don’t forget who I am. You know what I’m capable of."
