Ch 278: Daughter of the Republic VS Chinese Opera Singer (11.10)

On the street, an elegant and graceful girl in the prime of her youth was chatting with a maid. Her blue dress contrasted with her jade white skin, which appeared almost transparent in the sun.

The young lady’s eyebrows were very delicate, and her light brown eyes rippled as they were brilliantly lit by the sunlight. The fragmented light reflected resplendently, giving her eyes a warm feeling.

Beneath her exquisite nose were thin, vermillion lips, a bewitching red like petals in full bloom, tempting one to taste them.

Shi HuaYi sat in the teahouse by the window of the second floor across the street, and his eyes fell on the young lady on the road outside, stunned.

He seemed to see a pair of white wings behind her, and the beauty rippled in his heart.

He did not expect that coming to the Southern Region this time, he would encounter this kind of extraordinarily beautiful woman.

Chairman Wang, who was sitting opposite Shi HuaYi, could not see who the Major General was looking at.

Otherwise, he would say something to Shi HuaYi to prevent him from courting death on the road of no return.

“Chairman Wang is saying that it’s no good with that treasured young lady Ziju BaiLin kidnapped, and you all have no way to get started, right?”

Shi HuaYi snorted in disdain, what kind of good vision could Ziju BaiLin have?

Casually snatching someone up off the street, and then going so far as to regard that person as the apple of his eye? Sure enough, it was true that bandits had never seen the world.

His face that was originally soft and gentle was now stiff and cold. If not for Ziju BaiLin, he would be the number one person.

But, if they hadn’t been enemies, they could have been best friends.

Chairman Wang incessantly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and trembled with fear as he responded, “Major General, you’re not aware, but the one snatched by Ziju BaiLin is the Nian family’s Nian XunMi. In the past, this Nian XunMi was already beloved by the entire Li Hua Province for her disposition and appearance. The number of suitors from influential families asking for her hand are not small. It’s only because she was studying abroad that their numbers were reduced. She had only just come back, only for Ziju BaiLin to steal her away. Now all of the prominent young masters of Li Hua Province are trying to devise ways and means to get her back.”

Chairman Wang wasn’t exaggerating. Nian XunMi’s level of popularity in Li Hua Province was really great.

Shi HuaYi disagreed. He felt that the woman he had just seen was a phoenix among women.

That whatever XunMi definitely couldn’t compare to a hair on that woman’s head. But, since she was capable of capturing Ziju BaiLin, she must have some impressive abilities.

If he got online,[1] then when the time came, it should be a breeze to kill Ziju BaiLin if he wanted.

“You go make an appointment to meet that Nian XunMi. I think we can get her to cooperate with us.”

His fingers tapped the table rhythmically, and his feet under the table followed soon after. In all, he looked very satisfied.

Chairman Wang was a bit bitter. He had just offended that person, and then to invite them out, he was afraid the result wouldn’t be very good.

“Stupid, it’s because you just offended that person that you should give an invitation to meet you so you can apologize, understand?”

If it weren’t for this old thing being the chairman of the Li Hua Province Board of Trade, and the Luo family preparing to change the person in power, their attitude for the present being unclear, he would not choose to bring this person in to his group.

“Yes, yes, Major General, I understand, this lowly one will go immediately.” Chairman Wang responded quickly, then stood up and left to get to work.

When Shi HuaYi looked out the window again, the woman’s figure could no longer be seen.

He shook his head with a little regret. He could only look forward to their next encounter.

Next time, he won’t let her go so easily.

This Li Hua Province was really a nice place. The people born and raised there were much more beautiful than those elsewhere.

XunMi didn’t know she was being watched. Today, she had gone out to buy some things.

In passing, she wanted to have a chance encounter with the young master of the Luo family, Luo Ran. At present he was not in charge of the family, but he’d already entered the Luo family business.

Master Luo[2] was now preparing to hand over his authority. XunMi was at present lacking an associate, and Luo Ran would be the most suitable.

He was in charge of all financial channels running in and out of Li Hua Province. When the time came, whether she wanted to traffic in weapons or medicine, it would be very convenient.

Anyway, she would also need to be careful. After all, Master Luo used to work with the Western Region.

However, on this trip she did not have her chance encounter with Luo Ran, but rather with an unexpected person.

That woman with a sweet smile walking towards her older sister, wasn’t she the Female Lead? Shouldn’t the Female Lead be online with the Male Lead now, cultivating their relationship?

It had been four days since she’d gone to the theater, and the Male Lead was afraid to show up early.

Her experiments were also still in their preliminary stages. Although she did not yet have a finished product, the progress was considerable. She also wanted to be prepared in advance, so that’s why she had come out in secret. Who knew that she would be given an unexpected gain?

This Female Lead really resembled her mother. It was no wonder that in the original book, when the Female Lead ran into her father, he brought her back home.

It could be supposed he’d been startled by that face. They didn’t have twins, so how could there be such a similar person?

It goes without saying, the Nian family had doubts about her. After Nian Wenhao utilized his contacts to investigate, he learned that she was unexpectedly his uncle’s daughter.

Who would’ve thought? It was inconceivable. But none of them let the original owner know.

As for later, it was the original owner who directly requested the marriage in order to aid them.

Leaning against a pillar, XunMi was engrossed in watching this scene.

ShuiXian followed her mistress’s gaze, and immediately frowned in disdain.

“Miss, I’m telling you, that woman is not kind. Do not be deceived by her outward appearance. When I was about to enter the Marshal’s residence, I saw this woman bullying a beggar on the road. The other person was only not careful and touched her shoes, and she had the person with her beat him, almost killing him.”

Sure enough, those who looked beautiful on the outside had hearts as venomous as snakes and scorpions. Of course, Miss Nian was the exception. She was truly good.

XunMi leaned her body, a little astonished. In the original story, didn’t the Female Lead have a very likable and positive outlook, and a kind-hearted and tenacious image?

Why did she feel that the script she’d gotten was a little wrong?

“En? Was she like this before, too?” She asked uncertainly.

ShuiXian thought about it then shook her head: “I don’t know about before. I only saw her that one time.”

Only once, ah? It could be that the Female Lead was in a bad mood at the time, so she took her anger out on him. This could be understandable.

Looking at the Female Lead saying something to her older sister, then the two walking off together, XunMi planned to indulge her bad hobbies by following after them to watch.

However, she had only taken one step forward when she felt a shadow overhead and someone obstructed her path.

She raised her head to see her husband looking down at her with a dark face. Behind him, MuCheng and Jun YuQing both winked at her.

Aiya, she’d been naughty and was now caught by everyone? ┑(￣Д￣)┍

“BaiLin, what a coincidence! You also came out shop!”

Laughing twice, XunMi stepped forward to pull on her husband’s arm and raised her head to give him a wide smile.
