Reborn as Tycoon's Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 273 Waiting for Her to Come Out (First Update)

"Miss Mi," a middle-aged man stood in front of Mi Xue, "Last night’s plan failed. My people came back and said that her skills are exceptional. They couldn’t get close to her at all. Not only that, but one of my guys also got injured and returned."

"Nonsense." Mi Xue didn’t believe a word. She had met Su Xiaofeng before; a woman bearing a child couldn’t possibly be skilled. "So, you’re saying you did nothing to her."

The middle-aged man nodded, that’s what they had reported back.

"A bunch of useless fools, I don’t even know what kind of people you recruit." Mi Xue was furious. "I don’t care what method you use. You must make that Su Xiaofeng suffer. If you can’t handle a single woman, you might as well smash your own signboard and quit taking jobs. You won’t achieve anything significant at this rate."

"Miss Mi, rest assured, I will rearrange this matter," the middle-aged man nodded. "I don’t know how you would like to punish her. Should we kidnap her or take her out of town directly?"

In his view, this was the most inconspicuous method, "Miss Mi, the other party is just a woman from a small place. This method is very subtle."

Mi Xue scoffed coldly, "She has caused me such harm; indeed, she deserves a lesson. Do as you see fit. As for the process, I won’t look into it. I only want results."

Mi Xue, hailed as a little princess wherever she went since childhood, when was she ever looked down upon, let alone being in such a debacle as now.

Her uncle is still hospitalized, her aunt blames and hates her, her mother dares not ask her to come home, and her father and brother haven’t even called her up till now.

Overnight, she had seen everyone’s true colors.

It turned out familial affection too had a price tag, only relevant until it didn’t interfere with the family’s interests. Now that it involved their interests, her family had immediately drawn a line between them and her.

She guessed her parents must be regretting having such a daughter right now.

No, it wasn’t her fault after all. It was her father’s enemies who were after him; at most, she was just collateral damage. So how could her family blame her? How could they have the nerve?

After all, everyone is selfish, no one willing to admit their involvement in this affair, pushing all blame onto her as a young girl.

It was laughable how her beloved father, mother, brother, and uncle had shifted all the blame onto her, and all because of that Su Xiaofeng.

Had she not meddled unnecessarily, she wouldn’t have found it necessary to lash out at her, nor given anyone a handle against her. Hence, Su Xiaofeng daring to oppose her, her downfall was inevitable.

...

Xiaofeng lay on the bed feeling her baby’s kicks, marveling at how quickly time had passed. From the initial two months until now, their movements in her belly grew stronger, letting her truly feel the joy of becoming a mother.

The phone rang, she picked it up casually. The caller said something, and she responded, "Alright, I know."

After hanging up, Xiaofeng touched her belly somewhat helplessly, "You hear that? Someone wants to mess with us, mom and the twins, what should we do?"

This Mi Xue, truly a mistress of a grand household, with such huge issues at Mi and Du Families, she still couldn’t stop seeking her own demise.

Since Mi Xue was bent on courting death, Xiaofeng might as well present her a grand gift to let her face the reality.

Thinking it over, she decided to first visit Haicheng University.

The event at Cuiwei Shopping Mall was still going on, it would only be after three days that they’d find out whether the mall would accept their supplies.

There wasn’t much happening over the next few days. A tour to Haicheng University might help find someone to work on the system.

After all, another major reason—how could she give her enemies a chance if she did not step out?

"Yifan, I’m thinking of going to Haicheng University to see a friend. Are you free, do you want to come along?" Wu Yifan was a student there, undoubtedly familiar with Haicheng University.

"Sure." Wu Yifan’s lips curled slightly, a rare friendliness appeared on his gaunt face. "I’m not busy at all. Of course, I’m free."

Xiaofeng looked at the face that resembled her brother nine-tenths, almost losing herself in it.

Every time she saw Wu Yifan standing before her, she had the illusion that her brother was right beside her. It’s a pity that Wu Yifan was older than her. It would have been possible to think of him as a younger brother if it were otherwise.

Regardless, having someone resembling her brother by her side in Another World profoundly comforted her. If possible, she would like to regard Wu Yifan as family.

Wu Yifan, noticing her obvious distraction, smiled gently, "Su Xiaofeng, do I really look that much like your friend? You’ve lost focus while looking at my face twice now." frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Caught out by Wu Yifan, Su Xiaofeng felt somewhat embarrassed, "Sorry, every time I look at you, he comes to my mind."

"Your classmate?" Wu Yifan was curious. Was there someone in Xijiang County who looked like him?

"No." Xiaofeng shook her head, "A cousin."

"Where is he now?" Wu Yifan was curious about this, pondering whether to look for her cousin one day to see how similar they looked.

"He’s not in this world." Xiaofeng didn’t want to continue on this topic, if she continued, her non-belonging to this era would be exposed, "Let’s take a taxi."

Haicheng is a big city, and in this era taxis were available, still a status symbol for the high-class white-collar workers.

Many high-class white-collar workers, even though it was a strain, would take taxis to work, as it provided them with significant prestige and dignity.

Haicheng University is a nationally renowned university, and the leading university in Haicheng.

Today is Saturday, and the school is open to the public, allowing pedestrians from outside to come in and visit.

While walking on the pathway of Haicheng University, Xiaofeng and the Wu brothers saw students in pairs and threes, bicycling along the walkway, giving them a nostalgic illusion of being back in their student days.

"Brother," Wu Ershun watched the basketball youths on the sports field, a longing born within him: "I didn’t know college could be this fun; had I known, I would’ve tried to enroll just for fun."

The freedom one had in college, not to mention playing with so many classmates, was a life he had dreamt of.

"Psh, if you could have gotten into university, you would have by now, instead of talking about it now." Of course, anyone who could get into university had gotten in.

"Wait a minute." Wu Ershun suddenly remembered something, "Weren’t we in the same year? I heard you did well academically. Why didn’t you go to university? With such good grades, and you didn’t get in, then I’m definitely hopeless."

Wu Ershun finally remembered where he had heard the name Su Xiaofeng before, from the yearbook of their same year.

If the straight-A students couldn’t get in, it was quite normal that he, who was not academically inclined, didn’t either.

"The exams just didn’t go well," Su Xiaofeng shrugged.

"That’s really too bad," Wu Ershun sighed.

A mother and son approached them, the woman wearing a pair of glasses, exuding an aura of bookishness. The young man beside her, also wearing glasses, was not very tall but appeared scholarly.

"Su Xiaofeng." The woman called out to the girl coming towards them.

Xiaofeng looked up, and recognizing the woman, expressed her surprise, "Sister Liao!"

"Didn’t we agree that you would call me when you arrived at Haicheng University?" Sister Liao was very fond of Su Xiaofeng, whose manner of speaking and insight were superior to that of an average university student.

"I was planning to call you in a bit; I didn’t expect to run into you so soon." Sister Liao and her husband were both professors at Haicheng University, and their son was a student there; they lived on campus.

"Professor Liao?" Wu Yifan was also surprised to encounter Sister Liao, exclaiming in astonishment.

Sister Liao turned around, recognizing Wu Yifan and expressed surprise, "Yifan? You guys..."

Her gaze lingered on Wu Yifan and Xiaofeng’s abdomens, speculating whether Xiaofeng and he were a couple.

"This is my sister-in-law," Wu Yifan candidly admitted, "She said she wanted to come here for a visit, so we brothers came along without further plans. It turns out it was you on the train, I didn’t notice when getting off."

"It must be fate," Sister Liao had previously taught Wu Yifan and thought highly of him.

She called over her son, "Fangzhou, come meet everyone, this is your senior Wu Yifan, this is Xiaofeng, the one who sent mom local specialties, and this is..."

"I’m Wu Ershun, his brother," Wu Ershun introduced himself.

"Pleased to meet you," Gao Fangzhou, who was not only scholarly-looking but also soft-spoken, said, "I am Gao Fangzhou."

"This isn’t the place to talk; let us go to my house. I’ll cook lunch for you, just a simple meal at my place," Sister Liao warmly invited Xiaofeng and the others to her home.

...

Outside the school gates, a black car watched the grand gates of Haicheng University and ultimately dared not enter, "We’ll just wait outside, I don’t believe they won’t come out."

As long as that woman was alone, everything would be straightforward.
