Reborn as Tycoon's Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 276 Marry at the Fastest Speed (Second Update)

The phone rang, and Mi Xue picked it up instantly, "Hello."

"Miss Mi." The voice on the other end dragged out several tones, "It’s Wanzi, remember me?"

Mi Xue certainly remembered this person, a rogue from high society, very lecherous and vulgar, someone everyone in the upper class wanted to beat.

However, she had never had any dealings with him, so why had he suddenly sought her out? As the other party announced his name, disgust showed in Mi Xue’s eyes, "What do you want with me?"

Why would such a person come looking for her? It was disgusting.

"I heard Miss Mi’s skills in bed are outstanding, and naturally, I also wanted to experience them," Wanzi’s voice suddenly turned sinister, "I heard that you and the Ji family’s boy are very close, and the Ji family’s boy and I have never gotten along."

"Wanzi, you shameless scoundrel, what the hell do you want?" The sudden approach by Wanzi made Mi Xue inexplicably panicked.

She always carried herself with dignity; ordinary men couldn’t catch her eye, and she looked down on men like Wanzi who relied on their family status to misbehave even more.

"You already called me shameless, naturally, I want you to experience my shamelessness. Don’t be anxious, my people will come pick you up shortly, and once you’re at my place, you’ll understand why I brought you here," Wanzi said before laughing and hanging up.

Mi Xue violently hung up the phone and quickly went to lock the door, but she was one step too late. Just as she reached the doorway, the door suddenly opened. Before she could see who it was, she felt a pain at the base of her neck and collapsed limply to the ground.

When she woke up again, she found herself disheveled, lying on a large bed, while someone was taking pictures of her with a camera.

She sat up abruptly, grabbing the blanket to cover herself, "Who are you? Get Wanzi over here."

"You think you’re worthy of seeing our young master?" A man on the side sneered coldly, "Miss Mi, rest assured, these photos of you will soon appear in all the major newspapers. Miss Mi, just wait to become a celebrity in Haicheng."

Thinking of their photos, Mi Xue panicked, "What have you all been photographing?"

"Naturally, it’s the charming photos of Miss Mi tangled up in bed sheets." The man lifted the camera, "Don’t worry, Miss Mi, we’ve photographed you beautifully, from all sorts of angles. You’ll certainly be satisfied with your performance."

Without caring that she was unclothed, Mi Xue tried to snatch the camera from his hands. She was the daughter of the Mi family; if a scandal broke out, her parents would definitely not forgive her, "Give it back to me. As long as you don’t publish them, I’ll agree to any conditions."

"It’s too late," the man glanced at Mi Xue lightly, "Miss Mi, trying to negotiate terms now is already too late."

"I want to see Wanzi," Mi Xue cried out madly, "I’ll concede to whatever he wants, just let him come to me."

"The Mi family is in turmoil, our young master certainly doesn’t want to wade into the messy waters of the Mi family, so Miss Mi, I’m afraid your wish won’t be fulfilled." The young master is from the Jiang family, who, although indulgent in fun, has very high standards for female companions.

The door slammed shut with a bang.

The room was empty except for Mi Xue, who was standing by the door, dizzy and undressed.

...

Early in the morning, Xiaofeng went downstairs for breakfast and casually picked up the morning newspaper to read.

What caught her eyes were various large-format, explicit photos from a bedroom scene.

The female protagonist was stunningly beautiful, while the male protagonist had a blurred back.

"Isn’t that Miss Mi?" The servers on the left, mostly the same crew as before, recognized the woman in the newspaper at a glance.

It was indeed Mi Xue, and the photos were high-resolution – front, side, and back – taken as if to ensure she was unmistakably identifiable.

"I always thought Miss Mi was an upper-class figure with a somewhat haughty nature, but I didn’t expect her to be so promiscuous," said a male server in a low voice.

"What do you know? You don’t understand the hobbies of rich families," someone countered.

"It seems the Mi family has offended someone they shouldn’t have," said Yang Zhenye, who had resigned from Mingzhu Mall and was staying in a hotel, supposedly to play with Wu Yifan for a few days before looking for a job.

"With her temperament, it would be strange if she didn’t offend someone," Wu Ershun spoke without surprise. The Mi family ought to have been mindful of the proverb that one’s mouth could invite trouble.

Wu Yifan looked over indifferently and threw the newspaper aside, "With the news of Mi Xue’s scandal breaking, the Mi family is really going to descend into chaos."

The Mi family, being part of high society, placed the utmost importance on their reputation. Mi Xue’s photos now made them the laughingstock of the elite circle.

Xiaofeng silently ate her porridge without a word.

That day, Mi Xue had intended to deal with her, and now the Mi family was facing a crisis. Yesterday, someone attempted to attack her, and today Mi Xue’s scandalous photos were exposed.

Could all of this be Ye Cheng’s doing?

So, what really was Ye Cheng’s true identity? Why, even though he wasn’t here, every single move of his seemed to be within his sight.

"Sister-in-law, why aren’t you speaking?" Wu Ershun noticed Xiaofeng seemed distracted and felt a bit puzzled.

Given that Mi Xue had run into trouble, the sister-in-law should be happy, yet she didn’t seem pleased at all. "Sister-in-law, you’re just too kindhearted. I’m telling you, a woman like Mi Xue simply isn’t worth the sympathy."

"I’m not thinking about that." Xiaofeng had no interest in Mi Xue’s affairs. She had initially wanted to send a big gift to Mi Xue, but someone had done it for her, saving her the trouble: "Have you heard of the Gu Family from the Imperial Capital?"

Gu Yecheng, that should be his real name, right?

If not, it doesn’t really matter.

In this dog-eat-dog world, who doesn’t have a few alternate identities?

Wu Ershun was totally confused. They were clearly talking about Haicheng’s matters, and here the sister-in-law was bringing up something about the Gu Family from the Imperial Capital.

Wu Yifan, listening to Xiaofeng’s words, was also somewhat baffled: "The Gu Family?"

"I know of them." Having wrestled through the business waters of Haicheng, Yang Zhenye was naturally somewhat aware of the situations in the Imperial Capital: "The Gu Family is one of the most prominent families in the Imperial Capital. The head of the Gu Family frequently appears on television, a truly remarkable figure."

"The Prime Minister?" Wu Yifan blurted out.

When he thought of the figure often seen on television, the Prime Minister came to mind.

"Yes, that’s him." Yang Zhenye nodded: "He is from the Gu Family. I wonder if Xiaofeng is asking about him."

Of course, Xiaofeng knew of the Prime Minister, but linking him with Ye Cheng was something she dared not do.

She had considered that Ye Cheng might have some family backing, perhaps a well-off family engaged in business, with some connections, but...

It couldn’t be, right?

The Prime Minister was no ordinary man. How could Ye Cheng, a barefoot doctor, have such a formidable father as the Prime Minister.

"No," Xiaofeng shook her head: "I just caught a glimpse of him on television just now and asked casually."

"Speaking of the Prime Minister, I quite admire him. He is a passionate and capable leader." Wu Yifan held the Prime Minister in high esteem.

Xiaofeng didn’t dare to continue the conversation and silently sipped her porridge, pondering whether Ye Cheng could possibly be a distant relative of the Gu Family.

...

"This damn thing, she won’t rest until she pushes the Mi Family into the pit of fire," Mister Mi, looking at today’s morning paper and with his face turning the color of pig liver, turned to Mrs. Mi and roared, "Call that beast back here, I will break her legs."

Mrs. Mi’s face was equally grim: "If you hadn’t offended someone at work, Xuexue wouldn’t have ended up like this."

"Ignorant woman," Mister Mi huffed coldly: "You think it’s Haicheng’s people who want to take action against us. Let me tell you, I’ve already found out, it’s someone from the Imperial Capital who’s interfered."

If it wasn’t for someone from the Imperial Capital meddling, even if Haicheng had people willing to target the Mi Family, they wouldn’t have been so swift, leaving the Mi Family with no power to fight back.

Mrs. Mi was startled: "The Imperial Capital?"

"Didn’t you say last time that you could contact someone from the Xu Family in the Imperial Capital? Try to reach out, and it would be best if you could help us find out which people from the Imperial Capital are involved."

For the Xu Family, this kind of matter was just a matter of lifting a finger.

Mrs. Mi nodded: "I’ll try to connect with them."

"If the Xu Family can help us, the Mi Family naturally won’t have any trouble, but if they don’t lend us a hand, our Mi Family is going to be finished soon. Put some effort into it and don’t be afraid to spend money."

Mrs. Mi nodded: "Alright, I understand. About Xuexue..."

"Find her a household to marry into as soon as possible. She definitely can’t stay in the Mi Family any longer. Marrying her off at the earliest opportunity is the best strategy."

Mrs. Mi thought it over and indeed saw it as the best solution at the moment.

Given Xuexue’s current reputation, finding a good family was certainly impossible. The young master of the Jiang Family had always had a poor reputation, but if the Jiang Family was willing to take Xuexue in, that might be a suitable match.

Mrs. Mi thought for a moment, deciding that she needed to gauge the Jiang Family’s attitude first.
