Chapter 5

Lan?Xiao had lost everything because of Lou Yucheng. He had wiped out her family, used her to kill Wen Muchu, and finally taken her life as well.

In this new life, she would no longer be at the mercy of such a cruel man. She refused to be his puppet anymore. She would not let him destroy the Lan family or become the president.

She wanted to send Lou Yucheng to hell. She wanted him to experience the cruelest pain known to a human being.

As she thought about the past, the anger in her chest rose like flames.

This year, she was a senior in high school, but Lou Yucheng had already graduated from university. He had entered the Lan Group early and helped Lan Shanhua deal with the company affairs.

When he had first entered the Lan Group, the company had been prosperous. But the next year, the company had gradually begun to face all kinds of problems.

Now, Lan Xiao realized that Lou Yucheng must have been playing tricks. The reason why he hollowed out the Lan Group step by step was to pave the way for his own success.

In her previous life, he had shot her in the head and shown his true colors. He was a cold-blooded, ruthless, and greedy wolf. Seeing his handsome and elegant face again now, Lan Xiao felt nothing but disgust.

She pursed her lips and sneered, “Wen Muchu didn’t hurt me. He’s the one who saved me...”

Everyone was taken aback at these words.

Lou Yucheng stared at Lan Xiao in a daze, as if he had seen a ghost.

He had never expected that the ever-obedient Lan Xiao didn’t even give him a glance.

But it was her words that he truly couldn’t digest.

She looked at him coldly, as cold as the ice in the North Pole.

“Xiao Xiao...”

“I’m the lady of the Lan family. If you are still the guards of my family, you better follow my orders... Get out of my way, and don’t touch Wen Muchu,” Lan Xiao said, glancing at the guards surrounding them.

The guards exchanged glances with one another. It was true that Lan Xiao was the lady of the Lan family, and the Lan family was the one that paid their salary every month. As ordinary salaried employees, they were clear about what was more important, so they all retreated in tacit agreement.

With a livid face, Lou Yucheng said to Lan Xiao again, “Xiao Xiao, what’s wrong with you? Are you so scared that you’ve lost your mind? How can you believe this devil’s words? Have you forgotten all the terrible things he did to you?”

Raising the corners of his mouth, Wen Muchu sneered. “Devil? Lou Yucheng, you’re really good at labelling me. What on earth did I do to make her afraid of me?”

A hint of cruelty flashed through Lou Yucheng’s eyes, but Lan Xiao was not in the mood to waste time with him in her second life.

With a glint of slyness in her eyes, she suddenly reached out and held Wen Muchu’s hand tightly.

“Yucheng, to tell you the truth, I’m dating Wen Muchu now. I’m not scared of him anymore. I just didn’t know him well before. But tonight, he risked his life to protect me. I was so thankful and happy that I decided to be his girlfriend...” Then, she turned to Wen Muchu and looked at him with a sweet smile.

Wen Muchu was slightly stunned. He lowered his eyes, glanced at his hand in hers, and then looked up at her bright smile.

“Are you crazy?” Lou Yucheng blurted out with a pale face.

Lan Xiao raised her eyebrows, pointed at her forehead, and blinked her eyes with an innocent smile. “Look... Maybe I’ve lost my mind after hitting my head. Hush... Don’t tell my father about this yet. I’m afraid he won’t be able to bear it. Give me some time, okay? Let me be crazy...”
