After being murdered by my whole family, I was reborn

“I’m not joking.” Zhang Ran put her hand on Yang Tao’s shoulder. “Er Ya has already broken up with Xie Wei. Remember that. From now on, no matter who asks you, just say that Xie Wei is my boyfriend.”

Yang Tao: "...I'm getting old, my memory isn't good, and I'm not feeling well either. I'm going back to my room to lie down."

Zhang Ran raised an eyebrow slightly: "Are you really not feeling well? Shall I take you to the hospital to get checked out?"

Yang Tao immediately refused: "Just lie down and you'll be fine. There's no need to go to the hospital. It's probably just from insomnia last night. It's nothing serious." Xiao Yue had been detained for a night and hadn't slept at all.

"Okay, go ahead." Zhang Ran smiled and gently pushed her.

No sooner had Yang Tao left than Lin Jing walked in. He stared into Zhang Ran's eyes and asked, "You have plenty of ways to get revenge on Gu Jin, why choose this method?"

“To attack the enemy, you must attack their most fatal weakness.” Zhang Ran curled her lips: “He likes Xie Wei, is jealous of me, and framed me, all because he doesn’t want me to be with Xie Wei. So I’ll just be with Xie Wei anyway and drive him crazy.”

Lin Jing paused for a moment, then said, "...I can help you kill him."

Hearing this, Zhang Ran looked at him with some surprise. "Gu Jinhe is a real prince of the Beijing circle, not that good-for-nothing Liu Yihao. Do you dare to touch him?"

Lin Jing laughed angrily: "I've even assassinated the president, what is Gu Jinhe?"

“Okay.” Zhang Ran gave him a thumbs up: “Go and kill him now.”

Lin Jing paused for a moment: "...He's been in the military for years and hasn't returned to Beijing yet, so he can't be moved for the time being." Infiltrating the military to kill someone is quite difficult.

"Oh~~." Zhang Ran changed the subject: "Get out."

Lin Jing silently turned and walked out, then suddenly stopped and looked back at Zhang Ran: "You and him are just pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend, right?" Xie Wei is Er Ya's boyfriend, and given Zhang Ran's personality, there's no way she would touch her best friend's man.

"What's it to you?" Zhang Ran retorted irritably.

Lin Jing, who had gone from lovers to ordinary friends: "..."

Zhang Ran then left the study.

Remembering that Yang Tao had said she wasn't feeling well, I was a little worried about her.

As I approached her door, I peeked through the slightly ajar door and saw her making a phone call. "Er Ya, listen to me, Xiao Yue doesn't really like Xie Wei. You know she's not mentally stable, so don't blame her."

"Her relationship with Xie Wei won't last long; they'll break up soon."

"If you really like Xie Wei, then wait. If you can't accept it, Auntie has a bunch of talented young men here. Whichever one you like, Auntie will introduce you to one. Please don't hate Xiaoyue, that child has suffered too much..."

"...Huh? You don't hate Xiaoyue?"

"...Did you dump Xie Wei first?"

"...Don't you care that Xiaoyue is with Xie Wei? Will you still be good friends with Xiaoyue in the future?"

Yang Tao hung up the phone and sat blankly on the edge of the bed, feeling a bit uneasy. She muttered to herself, "Er Ya actually said that her boyfriend will never be as important as Xiao Yue?" She can live without a boyfriend, but not without Xiao Yue? She must be thinking the wrong thing, she must be...

Seeing that Yang Tao wasn't actually feeling unwell, Zhang Ran turned and went back to her room.

The next morning, Zhang Ran was about to finish breakfast and go to inspect her properties when her phone suddenly rang. It was an unknown number, but she answered it anyway without speaking first.

The person making the call didn't speak; a loud whooshing sound came from the phone.

Zhang Ran was incredibly patient. She casually tossed her food on the table and continued eating, the sound of her chewing transmitted through her phone, stimulating the person opposite her.

"Zhang Ran!!"

A man's furious shout came through the phone, his deep-seated hatred like a knife piercing Zhang Ran's eardrums.
