"I wouldn't say I sent her away, would I? I just brought her away from Yan Mingxuan's place and arranged for someone to take her to the airport yesterday. She handled everything else herself," Xu Linlang said casually. Huang Yilan was no weak person. Over the years, she had amassed quite a collection of jewelry and designer brands, all classic styles. She could easily make a considerable fortune by taking them abroad and selling them on the secondhand market.

"She looks so much like you, and she even plotted against you to your face before. Why are you suddenly being so kind to her?" Liu Qian had become her partner, and spoke much more casually.

"You don't know, she looks even more like me now. When I went into the private room and saw her kneeling at Yan Mingxuan's feet, I was stunned. She has a face that looks like mine. I don't know how many people in China are using her to humiliate me. It's disgusting."

This was a win-win situation. For Huang Yilan, she escaped from a den of wolves; for Xu Linlang, she sent a counterfeit far away to avoid disgusting herself.

Xu Linlang went to the country where she had studied before, but in a different city. The current head of Xu's branch here is her second grandfather's third uncle. It's not that this third uncle is capable, but that he caused trouble in China before. Although the Xu family spent a lot of money to settle things, he was sent abroad to avoid the storm.

He's just a figurehead here; the actual managers of the company are highly paid managers. Business has always been lukewarm, neither losing money nor making any profit.

"My grandfather is truly a genetic mutation in the Xu family," Xu Linlang complained. Apart from him, all the male members of the Xu family are people who can't take off even if you put them in the right place at the right time.

Liu Qian chuckled: "Aren't you and your aunt also of the Xu family bloodline?"

"My genes were altered by my mother's side."

In fact, just like the Xu family, the original owner's aunt was the one who truly inherited the mutated gene.

"Your third uncle said he'd pick you up from the airport. Are you planning to go back to the company first?"

"No, like him, I got into trouble and was sent out to lay low. How can I go to the company right away? It doesn't fit my image. Let's go straight back to our place, adjust our time difference properly, and then leisurely go to work."

"Okay, I heard Yan Mingxuan was beaten up badly."

"How bad could it be? I didn't even let the bodyguards lift a finger. I did everything myself. How much strength could I possibly have?" Xu Linlang didn't believe it.

"You're quite strong. You've been training very hard these past two years. Besides, you even used tools."

"A stick found in that kind of place is very thin; it would probably hurt a lot if used to hit someone, but not enough to cause serious injury. Who told you that?"

"When I was keeping track of his schedule for you, I had a way to contact one of his assistants. They hadn't spoken for the past two years, but yesterday they suddenly contacted me and told me that Yan Mingxuan almost ended up in the intensive care unit."

"You replied?"

"Didn't reply."

"Ignore him. It proves the beating wasn't too severe. It's only been a few days, and he's already causing trouble." This was clearly at Yan Mingxuan's behest.

"If he can help you leave the country smoothly and without attracting attention, then the beating he took was worth it. To outsiders, your relationship seems a bit like a sadomasochistic romance."

Xu Linlang didn't continue the topic, but instead asked, "Is everything arranged at home?"

"It's okay. My parents are just in poor health and can't stop taking their medication, but they still have basic self-care abilities. My younger brother is also older, and his school is close to home, so he can take care of my parents." Liu Qian's family problems can be solved as long as they have enough money. Since she started dating Xu Linlang, she is very tired every day, but she is very energetic. Most importantly, her income is very high.

"That's good. You can ask Jiang You for help if you need anything."

"Okay, thank you."

After getting off the plane, Xu Linlang changed her expression in front of the mirror, displaying a look of resentment and listlessness.

Liu Qian also put herself into a state of unease and caution.

The two exchanged a glance, and Xu Linlang remarked, "We could both make a living in the entertainment industry."

"Your ambitions lie elsewhere, otherwise I could accompany you to try your luck in the industry."

"So you're just going to stick with me, huh?"

"With such a powerful backer right in front of me, how could I not know to suck up to him? I'm destined to be your lackey for the rest of my life."

The expressions on their faces remained unchanged as they spoke these words.

Uncle Xu arrived at the airport dressed in a very flashy gold outfit, holding up a large welcome sign. Xu Linlang hesitated for a moment, and the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily.

"Xu Linlang, niece, over here, over here!" Uncle Xu shouted loudly.

Her outfit was already eye-catching enough, and when she called out, everyone passing by looked over. Xu Linlang really didn't want to go over, but she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go over.

"Third Uncle."

"Oh, my niece has grown so much. She looks a lot like your father, but she's prettier than him," Uncle Xu said warmly.

"Third Uncle is also very handsome." Xu Linlang responded somewhat awkwardly. To be honest, all the members of the Xu family are good-looking, especially Xu Yongrui, who is the peak of the Xu family's good looks. Otherwise, he wouldn't have hooked up with Huo Xin back then.

"Welcome to the Kingdom of Hans! Come on, come on, Uncle will throw you a welcome party."

Xu Linlang forced a smile: "Third Uncle, I'm very tired and want to rest for a while."

"Not even going to the company?"

"The company is right there, when can't I go? Let me adjust to the time difference first."

"Haha, when I first came here, I was taken to the company on the same day, and I didn't even know the local language."

"I can't compare to my third uncle. I'll let him know once I've adjusted and decided on my work schedule," Xu Linlang said dejectedly.

"Alright, get some rest. Your third uncle is taking care of things here. And who is this?"

"Oh, this is Liu Qian, my former classmate. She has been working with me in China and helping me with my work. I can't live without her care, so I asked her to come with me."

"Ah, hello Liu. If you need anything, go find your third uncle. The people here are very picky. If they give you trouble, just come find me."

Liu Qian nodded with a restrained smile.

"Third Uncle, could you please find her a language school? She doesn't speak the language here," Xu Linlang said bluntly.

"Sure, there's a language school near your place. I'll have someone register her in a bit."

"Thank you, Uncle San."

After taking the two men to their lodgings and watching them go inside, Uncle Xu made a phone call back home from the car.

"Dad, tell Uncle and Brother that the little girl is fine. She didn't go to the company and went straight back to her residence. She'll wait until she's settled before going back to work."

After hearing what was said over there, Uncle Xu said confidently, "They're just two girls. The little follower she brought can't even speak the language. She'll have to learn it first. What can she do once she starts working? You're just worrying too much."

"Okay, okay, I'll be careful, I'll be careful." Uncle Xu said a few perfunctory words, hung up the phone, and chuckled, "Are these old men obsessed with guarding against a brat?"
