Reborn in 85: Starting with a family split and becoming the richest man, the ungrateful wretch regre

Lan Chongqi leaned against the car and smoked two cigarettes. His driver stood beside him, silent.

The driver sensed that the deputy director was acting strangely today. In the past, when Lan Siqi cried like this, the deputy director would always try to comfort her, but this time he seemed a little impatient.

However, the driver did not advise Deputy Director Lan to coax Lan Siqi, because Lan Siqi always treated the driver like dirt and would boss him around all the time, which the driver found very displeasing.

He wished Lan Chongqi would beat Lan Siqi up. If his child were like Lan Siqi, he would have already given him a good beating.

The two remained silent for over 20 minutes before Lan Chongqi finally stubbed out his cigarette, opened the car door, and got back in.

Lance had calmed down and was staring at Lan Chongqi with red and swollen eyes.

But Lan Chongqi didn't even glance at him; he gestured for the driver to continue driving.

The driver quickly started the car and floored the accelerator, eager to get to the Lan family's house as soon as possible and finish his day's work.

Lan Siqi lowered her head, her eyes filled with anger.

As soon as he arrived at the Lan family's door, he immediately pushed open the car door, got out, and slammed the door shut.

Lan Chongqi glanced at her retreating figure, got out of the car without a word, and slowly walked towards the door.

When he entered, his wife was standing in the doorway, looking puzzled.

"What's wrong? It looks like she's crying."

Madam Lan said with considerable concern.

Lan Siqi's parents had passed away long ago, and she grew up in Lan Chongqi's family.

Lan Chongqi said coldly, "She's getting more and more willful. If this continues, she'll cause trouble sooner or later. Ignore her and leave her alone for a few days."

Madam Lan didn't know what conflict had arisen between the uncle and nephew. She simply shook her head helplessly, took Lan Chongqi's clothes, and headed towards the bedroom.

Lan Chongqi strode into the study, closed the door, and took out the city's land planning documents for the past three years.

He looked at it carefully, and before he knew it, time had passed. When he looked up again, it was almost 10 p.m.

Madam Lan gently pushed open the study door and urged, "It's already 10 o'clock, you should get some rest."

Lan Chongqi got up, turned off the desk lamp, and left the study with Madam Lan.

The two stopped at the corner. Madam Lan was puzzled. Lan Chongyi signaled to Madam Lan not to make a sound. The two stood in silence for ten minutes.

Just as Madam Lan was getting impatient and wanted to ask what was going on, a door suddenly opened in the quiet night.

Immediately afterwards, Lan Siqi came out of the room and quietly approached the door of the study.

Madam Lan looked at Lan Siqi with a bewildered expression, quietly pushed open the study door, slipped inside, and then quietly closed the door behind her.

Lan Chongqi walked quietly to the study door and opened it.

Make a small crack and peek inside.

By the moonlight, he saw Lan Siqi rummaging through things.

Mrs. Lan stood beside him, her brows furrowed.

She used to think Lan Siqi was a bit willful, but she never expected her to be so tactless.

Lan Chongqi's study contains many important documents, and he usually doesn't allow the nanny to enter, fearing they might steal them.

She cleaned everything herself, and she didn't dare touch any of the documents for fear of damaging them.

But Lan Siqi flipped through the papers very forcefully, and the rustling sound of the papers being turned echoed throughout the room.

"Strange, where did it go?"

Lan Siqi rummaged through the tumbler for a while, but clearly couldn't find what she was looking for, and she muttered angrily.

Are you looking for the city's land use plan?

Lan Chongqi spoke coldly.

Lan Siqi subconsciously replied, "Yes."

As soon as she finished speaking, her face turned pale. When she looked up, she saw Lan Chongqi and Madam Lan standing at the door watching her.

She felt her mind go blank; she never expected that she would be caught red-handed on her first time stealing from the study.

At that moment, she wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

"Second Uncle, I was just curious and wanted to take a look, that's all."

Lan Siqi tried desperately to justify herself; she couldn't possibly admit that she wanted to take a picture of it and sell it for money.

It's because the Lan family gives her too little pocket money; she can't even afford a Chanel bag, so she can only set her sights on this picture.

Lan Chongqi sighed softly. At this moment, he finally realized that he had ruined his niece.

He waved to Lan Siqi, and Lan Siqi had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk to his side.

Lan Chongqi said calmly, "You're all grown up now. Your aunt and I will buy you a house, and you can move out on your own."

Lan Siqi screamed, "No, Second Uncle! You promised my dad you'd take good care of me! I'm not moving away!"

In the past, whenever she got into trouble, as long as she mentioned her father, Lan Chongqi would always forgive her and cover for her time and time again.

But this time, Lan Chongqi didn't even turn his head as he walked towards his room, coldly saying as he went, "Pack your things. You can take anything you own."

Lan Siqi suddenly looked up and saw that Lan Chongqi was holding a document in his hand.

She stomped her foot in anger. No wonder she had searched for so long without finding the plan; it turned out the plan had been in Lan Chongqi's hands all along.

She gritted her teeth and chased after Lan Chongqi, but Lan Chongqi and Madam Lan went straight into the bedroom and closed the door, giving her no chance to throw a tantrum.

Lan Siqi stood alone in the dark corridor, feeling an overwhelming surge of anger and resentment.

She couldn't understand why her second uncle, who used to dote on her, was suddenly so cold towards her.

She could only think of one possibility: Lu Yang.

Ever since Lu Yang appeared, her second uncle's attitude towards her has become much colder.

This time, they even made her move out. In the past, no matter how outrageous she was, her second uncle would always forgive her.

She gritted her teeth in anger, plotting how to deal with Lu Yang; she would definitely not let him get away with it.

But before that, she had to get her second uncle to change his mind and make sure he didn't kick her out.

The reason she could be so pretentious and willful before, and why everyone had to treat her like a princess, was because of her second uncle.

If she really was kicked out by her second uncle, everyone else would know that her relationship with Lan Chongqi had broken down.

She would no longer be able to be a princess, which was something she absolutely could not tolerate.

She simply returned to her room and paced back and forth, racking her brains for a way to stay in the Lan family.

After thinking for a long time, she finally came up with a solution. She took out a knife from the drawer and mustered up her courage to cut her arm.

Blood immediately flowed out, and she convulsed in pain. She endured it, watching the blood drip onto the ground, before sitting down in front of the dressing table and covering her wound.

She had heard of people committing suicide by cutting their wrists before, but this method rarely resulted in death.

She just wanted to pressure the Lan family into letting her stay.
