Rebirth: Back to before my girlfriend dropped out of school

Li Hongran didn't sleep very well, she kept frowning, perhaps she was still feeling uncomfortable.

Tong Yusui waited in the room for a long time, took out his homework and started to work. After he finished, there was still no movement. He couldn't resist the sleepiness and lay down on the table for a nap.

It was a long time before she was awakened by the sound of splashing water. She opened her eyes and found that Li Hongran was no longer on the bed. The bathroom light was on and mist covered the frosted door of the bathroom. She was taking a shower.

Soon, Li Hongran came out wrapped in a bath towel. Seeing that she woke up, she smiled and then sat down on the bed proudly.

"woke up."

"Ah."

"Then wait for me, I'll change my clothes and then we'll go out for dinner." She said while wiping her hair.

Tong Yusui didn't understand why she asked him to come, so he just waited for her outside obediently.

Li Hongran packed up and took Tong Yusui out, introducing her own business to her.

"I've told you before, my father went to jail for someone who was a close confidant of Master Hai, so I was treated well and had a decent-sized business here in Wanjiang. But I was young at the time, didn't understand the ways of the world, and didn't want to get involved in this circle. When the new boss came in, it wasn't long before most of my power was cut off."

Li Hongran couldn't help but sneered at this. "Before, there was only one hall master here, and that was me. Later, there were seven hall masters, and I was the weakest among them all. I was even about to lose my last piece of property."

"But I don't blame you." Li Hongran said with a clear and open-minded tone, "This is a place where the strong prey on the weak. If you are not capable enough and are eaten away by others, it's your own fault."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Tong Yusui and said, "So, I don't want to be that incompetent person anymore. Are you willing to help me?"

She extended an olive branch to Tong Yusui, but Tong Yusui remained silent. She didn't have any great abilities and was just a student.

And she knew one thing clearly, Li Hongran was in a very bad situation. Take Brother Yong for example, he was the worst off among Hai Ye's sons, but at least he had a battlefield and an area under his control, but Li Hongran only had a KTV. It was obvious how badly she was suppressed, and this was a very difficult battle to win.

The long silence made Li Hongran understand her choice. Li Hongran paused for a second, then smiled and patted Tong Yusui's shoulder, "It's okay if you don't agree. I understand your concerns."

The two of them came to a nearby food stall. It was already 10pm and the business was still brisk. They sat down and Li Hongran began to order. "This restaurant serves very good seafood. I often bring my brothers here. Take a look and see what you like."

Tong Yusui was dazzled by the menu. She ordered a dish of brown sugar rice cake and put it down. "You come here often, so you know what's delicious. You choose!"

"Okay!" Li Hongran ordered a few dishes quickly without any hesitation.

"Are you going to Tianhao Hotel tomorrow?"

"Yes, Brother Ji asked me to go over there tomorrow."

"Then you have to be careful tomorrow." Li Hongran poured Tong Yusui a glass of juice and continued, "There's a cocktail party at the Tianhao Hotel tomorrow. They're not the kind of people you want to mess with. If you make a mistake, they'll definitely make a fuss about it."

Tong Yusui frowned, not quite understanding, "Doesn't he know that it was Master Hai who sent me here?"

"If Master Hai hadn't asked you to come, I wouldn't have taken you so seriously." Li Hongran paused for a second before adding, "By the way, this guy from Wanjiang doesn't know that Master Hai has given you a secret mission."

Tong Yusui paused, pondering the meaning.

Li Hongran told Tong Yusui what happened here as if she was chatting.

"Our current boss's surname is Mu, and his name is Mu Xingzhou. He is a local and was once considered a prominent family here. A few years ago, his family suffered a disaster and his property was eroded. He was the only one left in the family and could not protect such a huge fortune. So he approached Master Hai and was willing to use the remaining property as a bargaining chip to join the team. Oh, yes, Tianhao is his family's brand. All the places named Tianhao in Wanjiang are his properties. Master Hai needed someone to open up the Wanjiang market, and his appearance solved the urgent need."

"But this Young Master Mu was once a wealthy man with average abilities. For so many years, we have only been on the edge of the Wanjiang River. But Tianhao, with the protection of Master Hai, no one dares to take advantage of it. Master Hai has been waiting for too long and may be getting impatient!"

Li Hongran casually told Tong Yusui all the inside story. Tong Yusui finally understood why she wanted to win her over. She saw that Hai Ye wanted to find someone to challenge Mu Xingzhou, so she pulled her into her camp in advance. In fact, she also wanted to join Hai Ye's chess game.

"The clams and boiled fish you ordered are ready." The waiter's voice broke the silence. Li Hongran stopped talking. "Try it! Their clams are really good, without any sand at all. And the boiled fish is very fragrant."

"Okay." Tong Yusui and her tacitly agreed not to mention what they had just said. The two of them ate, drank, and chatted about other interesting things, and they were quite happy.

"When you first came here, I thought you were tricked!" Li Hongran laughed after saying this. "Although Mu Xingzhou's ability is average, he is ruthless and has no principles. The market in Wanjiang is not big, and he can only make a living, so sometimes he uses some extreme means to find boys and girls. When I saw you for the first time, you were so young and beautiful, and I knew you were tricked. I was so angry that I secretly cursed Mu Xingzhou many times in my heart."

So that's how it is. Tong Yusui couldn't help laughing, "So you want to beat me back? But if I really have something on him, no matter how hard I hit him, I won't be able to drive him away!"

"Ah, that's right. Those young people who are inexperienced in the world are very easy to deceive. They will fall for some petty gains, and then it will be too late to run away." Li Hongran shook her head, feeling quite helpless. "I'm not that kind-hearted. I can't save others. If I were in charge of that matter, I might also arrest them with a blank expression."

Tong Yusui didn't say anything. Even if he said anything now, he seemed to have no heart to do so. But if he were really in her position, who knew if he could still stick to his principles?

"But don't worry. We're under strict control now, so we can't do anything too outrageous. If Master Hai really wants to replace him with someone more principled, that would be even better."

They all make a living underground, and there are many ways to make a living. In fact, in most cases they are unwilling to cheat ordinary people's money because it wastes less time. Just like the previous underground auctions, a large amount of money can be made in one auction, and the speed is much faster than others.

After dinner, they went back. In the second half of the trip, Li Hongran became drunk again and was taken back by Tong Yusui in a daze. She fell asleep immediately. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, Tong Yusui breathed a sigh of relief, packed up and went back to sleep. She had to attend a banquet tomorrow morning and couldn't be late.
