A pampered young lady from a wealthy family is reborn, choosing a rich wife over a rich man.

Seeing the surprise in Meng Zhixue's eyes, Zhou Yu suddenly raised an eyebrow and said knowingly, "That's true, this is not something you can control."

As a longtime friend, he certainly knew what kind of person Xie Lingfeng was.

How could Meng Zhixue possibly interfere with or control someone who acts arrogantly, recklessly, and unpredictably?

Xie Lingfeng bullied her, but she didn't dare to tell him. It was he who guessed it and took the initiative to warn Xie Lingfeng.

Xie Lingfeng came and knocked on her door in the middle of the night, leaving her with no choice but to comply.

Thinking of this, he said in a deep voice, "Don't worry."

Meng Zhixue: "...?"

She had no idea what Zhou Yu was imagining.

But then she remembered that when she tried to persuade Zhou Yu to meet her at Villa No. 28, she had indeed enthusiastically recommended her room, saying it was large and quiet.

So she decided to symbolically ask for his opinion.

"Young Master Zhou, may I open the door?"

"...Go ahead and open it." Zhou Yu released her wrist and calmly sat down in the ergonomic chair in front of her desk. "It's good for him to see."

The ergonomic chair, costing two or three thousand yuan, seemed to acquire an even higher level of class when he sat on it, as if it had absorbed his refined and reserved air of nobility.

No wonder he's a CEO; wherever he sits, that place becomes a throne.

Meng Zhixue: "..."

Anyway, as long as he has no objections, that's fine.

Meng Zhixue opened the door and was surprised to see Xie Lingfeng standing outside, wearing a black trench coat and carrying a huge cake box.

Didn't this person say she was troublesome and refuse to buy her a cake?

Why did you not only buy one, but also one this big?

Before she could ask, Zhou Yu's cold, mocking voice rang out from behind her.

"So this is what you meant by having something to do tonight and not having time to pick me up from the airport, but coming to see me in the middle of the night with a cake... a friend?"

Xie Lingfeng curled her lips into a sneer, retorting, "You know she's your friend, not your girlfriend. Instead of spending the middle of the night with your parents, you come here to see me. Do you even know what you're doing?"

Behind him was Zhou Yu, and in front of him was Xie Lingfeng.

Literally sandwiched between two men with broad shoulders, narrow waists, and long legs, Meng Zhixue felt like a small blade of grass growing from a crack in a rock.

She looked around, completely bewildered, her eyes gradually becoming gossipy: "Wait, why do I feel like I've become part of your play?"

Zhou Yu: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Xie Lingfeng: "Are you a pervert?"

Meng Zhixue immediately became honest: "Oh..."

Fine.

She gave Xie Lingfeng a glare, thinking she was being subtle. How dare that pervert call her a pervert?

Although she didn't know why the two men, who were clearly friends, seemed to dislike each other so much, Meng Zhixue didn't care.

She took the cake box from Xie Lingfeng, politely said "Thank you, I'll transfer the money to you later," and then stepped aside, urging him to quickly take the gold bars from under the bed.

Xie Lingfeng... did as instructed with a dark expression.

He took out a brown leather suitcase filled with gold bars.

Meng Zhixue then pointed to two other unopened brown leather suitcases and asked curiously, "President Xie, what's inside these two?"

If there are any strange or unusual things, it's best to take them with you, so she can sleep peacefully and avoid trouble later.

Xie Lingfeng glanced at her: "Scared?"

Meng Zhixue wasn't afraid of his disdain and readily admitted, "Yes, I'm scared."

"Coward." Xie Lingfeng said irritably, his eyes full of impatience, as he opened the package one by one to show her. "Still scared?"

Meng Zhixue peeked out.

A brown leather suitcase contained several guns.

A brown leather suitcase was full of bullets.

Oh.

Why did things turn out exactly as she expected?

Perhaps firearms and ammunition are more suited to Xie Lingfeng's gangster aura, and there's also a box of daggers as a "beauty before him."

Fortunately, these things aren't scary, and the quantity is clear at a glance, so it doesn't matter if they're placed under the bed.

She even thought it was pretty cool.

"I'm not afraid of any of this, so thank you for your hard work." Meng Zhixue smiled at Xie Lingfeng, indicating that he could leave.

"..." Xie Lingfeng's face suddenly turned even more sour, and he pointed to Zhou Yu in the room, saying, "Where is he?"

Meng Zhixue looked at him in surprise: "We still have things to talk about."

"In your room?" Xie Lingfeng asked back.

Meng Zhixue looked at him in confusion, then suddenly realized, "Oh right, right! I only told Sister Xie Wei, not you. I forgot this is your home too. I'm sorry."

"I'm just working here, it's really inappropriate to bring personal matters into the workplace, so..."

Meng Zhixue turned to Zhou Yu for his opinion: "Young Master Zhou, how about we go to Blues Cafe instead?"

Zhou Yu smiled faintly and stood up: "Okay."

"...Heh!" Xie Lingfeng glanced at them darkly, sneered, picked up his brown leather suitcase, and turned to leave.

The door across the hall slammed shut with a loud bang.

Zhou Yu asked, "Shall we go?"

Meng Zhixue touched her neck with lingering fear, still not having recovered from Xie Lingfeng's sudden outburst of temper.

"Didn't we say we were going to the Blues Cafe?" Zhou Yu chuckled. "Perfect timing, I also wanted to take a walk with you outside."

"Oh." Meng Zhixue nodded. "Okay."

Zhou Yu then instructed, "Put your clothes on properly, don't be lazy."

Meng Zhixue glanced at him in surprise, not expecting him to be so attentive as to notice her little habit. She quickly nodded and said, "Yes."

……

The autumn night is cool.

Meng Zhixue was dressed warmly, with her hands in her pockets and a fluffy woolen hat on her head, so the cold wind didn't affect her at all.

As they walked, Zhou Yu spoke up, "My parents' accident this time is somewhat related to Bai Xue."

"Bai Xue?" Meng Zhixue was both surprised and not surprised. She had a feeling that the problem lay with Bai Xue.

After all, her "resurrection" was too suspicious.

However, she was very curious about the specifics and quickly asked, "Doesn't Bai Xue like you? Why would she target your parents? What benefit would it bring her?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered her past life.

In her past life, she was with Zhou Yu for half a year. The reason she suddenly ended the relationship was not because she didn't want to be in a relationship with Zhou Yu anymore, nor because Zhou Yu was tired of her.

Instead, Zhou Yu suddenly went abroad without saying a word, seemingly preoccupied with matters abroad and not returning to China for a long time.

She waited for Zhou Yu for more than a month, during which time she could not contact him no matter what she did.

Finally, a kind person helped her contact Zhou Yu, and then Zhou Yu had his assistant Lin Heng contact her, gave her one million, and said that they could end the relationship.

She had a premonition that she might be abandoned.

But when that day actually came, she was still filled with anxiety and uncertainty, not knowing where she could go after leaving Zhou Yu.

She was weak and didn't know how she could survive.

Although Zhou Yu gave him one million, it was obviously nothing in the bustling and expensive Beicheng.

She still seemed to have nothing in her hands.

Just as she was preparing to return to her hometown, that kind man found her, took her to the riverbank to confess his love, set off fireworks for her all night, and became her second boyfriend.
