Chen Qingtian was extremely excited. Previously, she and Lin Ran had discussed starting something after the first lunar month, which meant it would be March.
Now, Luo Yao had advanced the time. "You're so kind, sister-in-law," Chen Qingtian said.
After the meal, Chen Qingtian decided to stay at the manor. She had experienced life at the Shanghai manor, and now she wanted to experience the one in Beijing.
Although she had filmed here before, she had never lived here.
Before Luo Yao could say anything, Lin Ran objected.
"Cousin, you'll disrupt our romantic time for two," Lin Ran said.
Chen Qingtian looked aggrieved. "Cousin, you're so stingy. We're cousins. I even helped your wife scold Chen Buhui online. Even if it wasn't necessary, it showed my attitude."
"I've been working so hard to please you two. Now, I just want to stay here for a couple of days, and you're not even willing. It really breaks my heart. You're just an ungrateful... Don't be so much like Lin Jian."
In Chen Qingtian's words, Lin Ran seemed like a villain, as bad as could be. He was not only heartless but also inhumane, especially that last scolding was really harsh.
The key was that Chen Qingtian was very skillful at scolding. You couldn't find a single swear word.
"You're scolding too harshly. Well then, you can go to Villa No. 3," Lin Ran said.
Chen Qingtian's eyes lit up. "Do you mean I can live in a single - family villa alone, be taken care of by the servants, and order whatever I want to eat?"
Lin Ran nodded, and then Chen Qingtian suddenly noticed something.
"Why can't I go to Villa No. 2?"
This time, before Lin Ran could answer, Luo Yao interrupted. "Villa No. 2 is Ran's cloakroom. No one else can enter."
"Use a whole villa as a cloakroom?" Chen Qingtian felt that her worldview was being attacked.
So what on earth was she working so hard for?
How far could she fight?
Luo Yao nodded, and Chen Qingtian was stunned on the spot.
Luo Yao said, "There's one more thing you need to understand. This is your last chance. If you dare to scold Ran again, your film company will go bankrupt."
Chen Qingtian thought to herself, Did I scold Lin Ran?
"Understood, sister - in - law. Cousin is really lucky to have a wife like you who dotes on him. I get it," Chen Qingtian said.
Just then, Uncle Fu reported again, "Young Master Lin, Miss, Wu Zhishang is here. Should I let him in?"
Lin Ran thought to himself, Are these people all in cahoots?
This time, even Luo Yao frowned.
Was her Dongtian Manor a vegetable market? Could people just come whenever they wanted?
However, Wu Zhishang was like a well - behaved dog, so she might as well let him in.
So, Wu Zhishang entered the villa.
But when Luo Yao saw Zhang Xinyan also coming, her face turned a bit cold.
"Hello, sister - in - law. Hello, Brother Lin," Zhang Xinyan greeted.
"Hello, Boss Lady. Hello, Boss," Wu Zhishang said.
The cold - faced Luo Yao slightly curled her lips and got a bit carried away with all the "sister - in - law" and "Boss Lady" greetings.
"Well, don't bring people to Dongtian Manor next time," Luo Yao said.
Wu Zhishang was taken aback, and Zhang Xinyan felt a bit embarrassed.
"Okay, sister - in - law," Wu Zhishang replied.
Originally, Luo Yao was going to leave and let Lin Ran catch up with his friend, but considering Zhang Xinyan was there, she decided to stay.
Zhang Xinyan came with Wu Zhishang because she was acting as both the driver and the porter. She handed the big and small bags in her hands to the servants.
"Sister - in - law, these are the gifts I brought for you and Brother Lin. You've just recovered from a serious illness. This is just a little token of my appreciation... Brother Lin, what's wrong with you? Are you injured?"
Wu Zhishang also noticed Lin Ran's abnormality.
Chen Qingtian chimed in, "He's heart - broken because of love."
Wu Zhishang said, "You're here too."
Chen Qingtian rolled her eyes. So, he hadn't noticed her even though she'd been here for so long?
"What? Can you come to see sister - in - law, but I can't?"
Actually, Wu Zhishang had seen Chen Qingtian when he came in. He pretended not to see her because he didn't know how to face her.
It was false to say that he didn't like Chen Qingtian. He had once shown his affection for her, but as time passed, he realized that Chen Qingtian had no feelings for him at all.
Those so - called "little flirtations" in the past were not deliberately released by Chen Qingtian. It was just that she was naturally lively and outgoing. In simple terms, she was very friendly and approachable, which gave him such an illusion.
For a very beautiful and charming woman, this kind of friendly personality would give many people such an illusion.
When Wu Zhishang realized this problem, he had started to deliberately keep a distance from Chen Qingtian.
Zhang Xinyan, the assistant, was a bit unhappy seeing Chen Qingtian speaking in a prickly way. After all, Wu Zhishang was her former boss. You didn't have to be grateful, but there was no need to be sarcastic.
"Teacher Chen, although you have a high status in the entertainment industry, that's not a reason for you to speak in a sarcastic way," Zhang Xinyan said.
Chen Qingtian was stunned. Was she being sarcastic?
Wasn't "Can you come and I can't" just a normal way of communicating?
What was wrong with Zhang Xinyan? Weren't they on good terms before? They used to talk bad about Wu Zhishang behind his back. Why was she now defending this "dog man" Wu Zhishang?
Could it be...
Chen Qingtian's eyes darted back and forth between Wu Zhishang and Zhang Xinyan. Not only Chen Qingtian, but Lin Ran also glanced at the two of them.
"Oops, Xinyan, I was wrong..." Chen Qingtian launched a sudden attack. Zhang Xinyan instantly felt all the hairs on her body stand up.
Chen Qingtian walked up to Zhang Xinyan and took her hand.
Wu Zhishang felt the warmth of Chen Qingtian's palm and his whole body stiffened.
Chen Qingtian placed Wu Zhishang's hand on Zhang Xinyan's hand.
"This man is not bad. You should seize the opportunity," Chen Qingtian said.
After that, Chen Qingtian stared at the expressions of the two of them.
Wu Zhishang looked at Chen Qingtian, then at Zhang Xinyan, and lowered his head, feeling a bit ashamed.
Lin Ran narrowed his eyes and said, "Office romances are not allowed, Lao Wu."
Before Wu Zhishang could say anything, Luo Yao spoke first.
"Although Ran doesn't allow it, I do. Your love bonus will be double that of the employees."
Luo Yao thought to herself, This dog had better be smart enough to win Zhang Xinyan over.
Luo Yao's words were actually quite normal. She had also personally promised the employee love fund at the Nuanyao Group before.
But for some reason, Wu Zhishang just felt a chill down his back.
Lin Ran asked, "Lao Wu, do you like Zhang Xinyan?"
Then he looked at Zhang Xinyan. "Do you like Lao Wu?"
Wu Zhishang said, "I... No, I don't... I don't."
Zhang Xinyan said, "Now that the atmosphere is like this, it's not like I'm head - over - heels in love, but I've just started to have this kind of feeling."
Wu Zhishang was stunned and looked at Zhang Xinyan in surprise.
No one had expected Zhang Xinyan to admit it like this.
s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money. Then one day, he suddenly realized—he had become invincible. Enough, enough! Stop giving me more!
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
