Not long ago, Su Xueqing had rushed to marry Lu Chenyuan and even secretly told Zhou Meijuan that she had been reborn and knew everything that would happen in her previous life.
Zhou Meijuan had been so excited that she couldn’t sleep for several nights.
Her daughter was actually the chosen one!
And now Su Wanxing had also mentioned the words “previous life”…
A strong sense of crisis suddenly surged in Zhou Meijuan’s heart. She struggled to get closer to Su Wanxing and blurted out, “You were reborn too, weren’t you?!”
Su Wanxing raised her hand and slapped her!
Then a second slap, a third slap…
All the while muttering, “Dirty thing, get out of my Aunt Zhou’s body!”
The police hurriedly separated the two. Zhou Meijuan’s face was red and swollen, so much so that she couldn’t even curse anymore.
Su Wanxing instantly put on a weak, innocent expression. “Aunt Zhou seemed like she was possessed by something. The elders say you have to use this method to drive it away.”
The onlookers were half-believing and half-doubting, but Zhou Meijuan herself knew very well whether she had been possessed or not!
Thinking about how she had taken so many slaps for nothing, she wanted nothing more than to swallow Su Wanxing alive!
“Su Wanxing! I’ll kill you!”
Lu Chenyuan stepped in front of Su Wanxing. “This is a society governed by law, and you still dare to say such things. Comrade Officer, I suggest you investigate her thoroughly!”
The police nodded and escorted Zhou Meijuan and Zhang Maocai away.
Su Hongyi had barely recovered from the shock with his two children when Su Wanxing had already dragged Lu Chenyuan outside.
The two walked side by side along a tree-lined path.
Several times, Su Wanxing wanted to hold Lu Chenyuan’s hand, but each time he unconsciously dodged her.
This wooden, taciturn man, seeing people passing by, even deliberately kept a bit of distance from her, saying that since they weren’t married yet, he had to protect Su Wanxing’s reputation.
Su Wanxing looked at his gradually distancing hand, pouted, then took the initiative to speak. “Brother Lu, I actually came back today to take the things my mother left me. Who knew the Su family would end up like this…”
Since the Su family had suddenly been robbed, Su Wanxing simply chose to explain it herself, glossing over the details to dispel his doubts.
Of course, things like spatial storage weren’t something that could be explained clearly in a short time, and most people wouldn’t believe it anyway.
Lu Chenyuan suddenly stopped walking. Su Wanxing didn’t notice and bumped into his back, the tip of her nose stinging with pain.
“How is it? Let me take a look?” Lu Chenyuan blamed himself.
Damn it, why did he suddenly stop?
He nervously cupped Su Wanxing’s face and examined her closely.
Her face was fair, tender, and smooth. A pair of watery almond eyes looked up at him, making Lu Chenyuan’s heart skip a beat. He shyly averted his gaze, the back of his neck instantly turning red.
Lu Chenyuan hastily let go. “Sorry, I…”
Su Wanxing felt a little disappointed. She had practically been flirting with him, yet he wouldn’t even look at her?
Forget it. There would be plenty of time in the future anyway.
To ease the awkwardness, Su Wanxing said, “Brother Lu, would you mind that the Su family has no money?”
Lu Chenyuan looked at her seriously. “I want to marry you. Whether the Su family has money or not has nothing to do with it. Even if the Su family were deeply in debt, I would still marry you.”
Su Wanxing smiled.
This was the sweetest love confession she had ever heard.
“Oh right, there’s something I need to discuss with you. Our wedding might have to be postponed.”
Lu Chenyuan looked apologetic. “I’ve temporarily received a mission and need to be away for more than twenty days.”
In her previous life, something like this had indeed happened. When Lu Chenyuan returned, his leg had even been injured.
Back then, Su Wanxing had mocked him on their wedding day for being a cripple. Before his leg healed, she had also listened to Su Xueqing and constantly teased and bullied him.
Although Lu Chenyuan had felt embarrassed, he had never once lost his temper with Su Wanxing.
Su Wanxing secretly swore that she absolutely could not let Lu Chenyuan get injured again.
“Brother Lu, when are you leaving? I’ll see you off.”
The day Lu Chenyuan departed, he went together with several colleagues.
Su Wanxing brought him a flask of water and a package of food.
“Brother Lu, it’s a long journey. Drink some water first.”
She unscrewed the cap and lifted the army-green canteen to his lips.
This was spiritual spring water. It strengthened the body. He wouldn’t get injured easily while carrying out missions, and even if he did, he would recover quickly.
Several colleagues covered their mouths and snickered. Lu Chenyuan shot them a warning look, and they hurriedly turned away.
Only then did Lu Chenyuan boldly take the canteen and gulp down several mouthfuls.
Sure enough, water given by the one he loved tasted especially sweet!
He even felt his whole body fill with strength.
Su Wanxing added, “Make sure you finish all the water. And these dried rations can last for a while—remember to eat them.”
The rations were also made from grain grown in black soil. Of course, she had watered it with spiritual spring water, so the nutritional value was even higher—only beneficial to Lu Chenyuan.
She had also put anti-inflammatory medicine and emergency wound-treatment supplies in his bag. There shouldn’t be any major issues.
Lu Chenyuan gathered his courage and held Su Wanxing’s hand. “Wait for me to come back.”
Su Wanxing suddenly stood on tiptoe and hugged him tightly. “You must come back safely. I’ll wait for you.”
Lu Chenyuan’s mind buzzed. Under that pitch-dark wall corner from that night, the image of their kiss resurfaced in his mind, his blood surging wildly through his veins.
He swore that in this life, he would cherish this girl properly.
After the two reluctantly parted, Su Wanxing didn’t idle around either.
Most of the Su family’s assets had already been moved away, but the textile factory was still in Su Hongyi’s hands.
Sooner or later, the Su family could make a comeback.
Of course, Su Wanxing would never give them that chance.
At the same time, Su Hongyi was already in utter chaos.
Originally, Su Hongyi was someone who had seen great storms. Even with the Su family robbed, he still had the textile factory—sooner or later, he could earn it all back.
But when he arrived at the factory and saw large batches of machines rusted, orders relying entirely on manual labor, missing account books, and the musty smell filling the accounting office, he was so furious he nearly burst a blood vessel!
The incident at the Su family had already spread throughout the textile factory. The workers either lounged around sunning themselves in corners or just went through the motions—hardly anyone worked seriously.
Of course, many workers were also worried they wouldn’t get paid and simply quit.
Among them, a few scoundrels led by He Guoping even stole valuable machine parts from the factory, sold them, and then disappeared.
Looking at the mess before him, Su Hongyi was so angry that he coughed up blood.
Su Yaozu cursed Zhang Maocai’s ancestors for eighteen generations!
“Director Su! Director Su!”
Old Li, the gatekeeper, stumbled in excitedly. “There’s a small sedan car at the gate! They say they’re from Hong Kong and want to talk business with you!”
“Hong Kong?”
That was a land paved with gold!
Su Hongyi’s eyes instantly lit up, and he hurried toward the gate.
The black sedan’s door opened, and a pair of red stiletto heels touched the ground.
The woman was very young, with glamorous curled hair. She wore black sunglasses that covered half her face, and there was a beauty mark on her chin.
Exaggerated earrings and a bold, fiery red dress accentuated her curvy figure.
“Who is Su Hongyi, Boss Su?” the woman asked, her voice tinged with a Hong Kong accent.
Su Hongyi quickly reached out his hand. “I am, I am. May I ask, miss, you are…?”
The woman ignored his hand and instead took out a business card. “I’m Chen Wanyi, from Hong Kong.”
She then glanced around the textile factory. “I heard that Su Textiles is a leading enterprise in the industry. My boss happens to be in the garment business, so he sent me over to take a look and see if we can discuss a deal.”
“Yes, yes, of course we can!”
Wasn’t this a huge blessing falling straight from the sky?
Su Hongyi led Chen Wanyi around the textile factory. Chen Wanyi seemed quite knowledgeable—she not only spoke fluently about professional matters, but even sprinkled in some high-end foreign terms.
Su Yaozu followed closely behind, staring at Chen Wanyi for a long time. Finally, finding a gap, he whispered to Su Hongyi, “Dad, don’t you think this Chen Wanyi looks kind of familiar?”
“She does resemble… Su Wanxing?”
