The CEO's wife is reborn and vows to pay for her crimes in blood.

Chapter 6 Unconventional Approach

"Lanlan, I had something to do last night, so I couldn't attend your birthday party. You won't be upset with me, will you?"

Xu Yang spoke in a gentle and soft voice.

With his gentle personality and handsome looks, Xu Yang was always the object of admiration for girls at school. As a top student in the art department, his good looks and talent made him incredibly popular. Chu Xinglan was naturally one of his fans. However, Xu Yang also developed feelings for this beautiful girl who didn't have a bit of a spoiled princess attitude. The talented man and the beautiful woman naturally got together. However, Chu Xinglan's family didn't approve of this young man from an ordinary family and kept trying to break them up. Knowing that he wasn't favored by Chu's parents, Xu Yang rarely visited Chu Xinglan recently.

Chu Xinglan heard from her best friend that a junior girl had been pursuing Xu Yang. Chu Xinglan was a little anxious, so she threw a party on her birthday and invited Xu Yang to attend, hoping to officially confirm their relationship. However, Xu Yang couldn't attend because of something else. Feeling depressed, Chu Xinglan drank a few more drinks and accidentally ran into Gu Ye's room. Coincidentally, Gu Ye had been drugged, and the two ended up having physical intimacy in a daze.

Because of this incident in her past life, she hated Gu Ye intensely. So even after marrying Gu Ye, she was very cold towards him. Despite this, Gu Ye was still very tolerant of her. Until she became more and more unreasonable, their marriage finally faced a crisis. At this time, Chu Xinglan found that she didn't seem to hate Gu Ye as much anymore. She also learned that she was pregnant with Gu Ye's child, so she wanted to save their marriage. However, she was framed and driven to her death.

Looking at her former lover, Chu Xinglan was unusually clear-headed. Now, she wondered if she had been deceived by Xu Yang's appearance.

"You didn't come to my birthday party yesterday, was it because of that junior schoolmate?" Chu Xinglan asked bluntly.

Xu Yang was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Lanlan, Yu Xuemei and I are innocent. She likes me, but I've always liked you."

"Just tell me, were you with her yesterday?" Chu Xinglan didn't want to hear his explanation; she just wanted to know the result.

Xu Yang hesitated for a moment. Seeing that Chu Xinglan was so confident, he must know something. He was just asking to get an answer from him.

"Yes, Yu Jiaojiao was accidentally injured yesterday, and I took her to the hospital, so it was late. I guessed that you had already finished, so I didn't go."

Sure enough, what was originally just her guess was unexpectedly confirmed by him.

Fearing that Chu Xinglan wouldn't believe him, Xu Yang hurriedly pointed to the sky and swore, "Lanlan, what I said is absolutely true. You can go to the hospital and ask if you don't believe me."

"Doesn't she have any family? Why does she need to come to you when she's injured? And who are you to her?" Chu Xinglan asked calmly.

"I..." Xu Yang felt that Chu Xinglan was different today. The docile and obedient girl of the past was gone, and now she had become aggressive, making him a little unable to cope. Just then, a cheerful voice appeared.

"Senior Xu!"

Then a luxury car sped up and stopped in front of them.

Yu Jiaojiao limped over, leaning on a cane in one hand and carrying a lunchbox in the other.

"Senior Xu, this is the breakfast I prepared for you. Thank you for taking care of me last night."

Yu Jiaojiao placed her crutch under her armpits, opened the takeout box with both hands, revealing the delicacies inside.

As he spoke, he couldn't help but give Chu Xinglan, who was standing next to Xu Yang, a provocative glance.

Chu Xinglan felt somewhat speechless.

They weren't even married yet, and a mistress had already barged into their home to cause trouble. If they got married, they'd probably have a lot of days like this. She especially disliked Xu Yang's smooth and polite attitude, trying not to offend either side. She was such a love-struck fool back then, not even realizing that Xu Yang's gentleness was just a facade.

"Junior Yu, please don't be shy. Helping classmates is what I should do." With Chu Xinglan present, Xu Yang didn't dare to take the lunchbox from Yu Jiaojiao's hand. He declined, saying, "I appreciate your kindness, but I absolutely cannot accept this lunchbox."

"Take it, I've already prepared it for you, otherwise it would be a waste." Yu Jiaojiao forcefully stuffed the lunchbox into Xu Yang's arms.

Yu Jiaojiao was quite clever; she deliberately let Xu Yang see the lavish breakfast that only the wealthy could afford. Xu Yang had never seen anything like it before, and the aroma made his throat bob.

"Alright then, don't do this again next time." Xu Yang reluctantly accepted it, then looked at Chu Xinglan with an innocent expression and said, "Lanlan, you saw it too, I didn't lie to you, Junior Sister Yu really got injured."

"Oh, Senior Chu, so you're here too! I'm so sorry, I just noticed you." Yu Jiaojiao pretended to be surprised when she saw Chu Xinglan.

Chu Xinglan found it amusing; didn't she chase after him here because she knew Xu Yang would come looking for her?

If that's the case, why bother pretending? Besides disgusting those who act against their conscience, who else can it disgust?

"Senior Chu, I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be here, otherwise I would have prepared one for you too." Yu Jiaojiao continued to speak sarcastically.

"I don't need that. After all, I'm not like some people who have never eaten delicacies. I don't need anyone to give me a simple bento box."

Chu Xinglan smiled faintly.

Xu Yang felt he had been subtly insulted, and his cheeks flushed red. He quickly explained, "Lanlan, I just really liked her and couldn't refuse."

"If she wants to sleep with you, that's her intention, and you don't want to refuse, do you?" Chu Xinglan asked bluntly.

Xu Yang was stunned for a moment, looking at Chu Xinglan in disbelief.

"Lanlan, how could you say such a thing? You weren't like this before. What's wrong with you today?"

"Senior Chu, what you're saying is insulting. It's fine if you insult me, but why do you have to insult Senior Xu too?" Yu Jiaojiao looked aggrieved.

Seeing Yu Jiaojiao's aggrieved expression, Xu Yang couldn't bear it and instead became hostile towards the aggressive Chu Xinglan: "Lanlan, you should apologize to Junior Sister Yu right now."

"What did I say? That it's so serious that I need to apologize? I was just making a assumption, and you took it seriously? Are you hiding something?" Chu Xinglan sneered.

She didn't have much of an impression of Yu Jiaojiao before, so it's no wonder that she shamelessly interfered even though she knew Xu Yang had a girlfriend. But today she witnessed it firsthand. What a strong green tea vibe! She wondered if Xu Yang really couldn't smell it, or if he was pretending not to know. However, Chu Xinglan was no longer the silly love-struck girl she once was. Having lived a second life, she knew exactly what she was doing, and her mind had become clearer and sharper.

"I..." Yu Jiaojiao was speechless for a moment.

Why is Chu Xinglan acting so unpredictably?
