Reborn into a Farming Family: My 18 Virtuous Wife is a Hero

Zhang Zixin was used to a life of luxury. If her father's company went bankrupt, it would mean not only losing her comfortable life but also being ridiculed by those still high-and-mighty young ladies and gentlemen. Just thinking about it made her unable to bear it.

It just so happens that Liu's Department Store is a major shareholder of Mingyi Group. Although President Liu has recently been considering selling off his shares to secure his last remaining profits, he dotes on his only daughter, Liu Yating. If Liu Yating were to persuade him to continue investing in Mingyi, he certainly wouldn't refuse. Everything she's doing now is for her father's company and her own future! Otherwise, why would a perfectly respectable young lady like her endure insults without daring to retaliate?

However, Liu Yating was arrogant by nature and looked down on everyone except for a few close female friends. Zhang Zixin was initially troubled by her inability to get close to Liu Yating, but things changed after Su Mu appeared. Liu Yating tried to cause trouble for her several times but failed, instead making Zhang Zixin furious. Zhang Zixin seized this opportunity to get the chance to negotiate a deal with Liu Yating.

These people were introduced to her by Li Fei, the son of her aunt. Li Fei was a good-for-nothing since childhood, and even now at the age of twenty, he still often hangs out with all sorts of shady characters. At the time, she was worried about where to find someone to kidnap Su Mu to appease Liu Yating, but she happened to see Li Fei at the school gate. She gave him some money and that's how he found these people.

After Liu Yating said that, Zhang Zixin pursed her lips and stopped talking. Only when Liu Yating turned around and continued walking did she reveal the viciousness and resentment in her eyes without any attempt to hide it.

Those who know her well know that she has mysophobia, so her earlier statement of fear wasn't genuine. It was because the warehouse was simply unbearable for her, which is why she had no choice but to say those things to Liu Yating. Unexpectedly, she was met with a barrage of vile insults. She secretly remembered this incident and resolved to settle the score with Liu Yating slowly once her father's company was back on track. For now, she could only suppress her anger.

Despite his dislike for the warehouse environment, he continued to follow Liu Yating inside.

As they unlocked the door and pushed it open, a dim light instantly flooded into the pitch-black room, while a pungent stench wafted out as well. Liu Yating and Zhang Zixin covered their noses almost simultaneously.

Liu Yating looked disgusted and said, "What kind of lousy place is this? It's so disgusting!"

Suppressing the coldness in his eyes, and considering Liu Yating's unusual status, the elder brother smiled and said, "Miss Liu, this place is suitable for holding 'prisoners.' Of course... if you have money, you can change to a better place."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yating was first angered that the man was contradicting her, and then slapped him across the face.

"Stop talking nonsense to me!"

After his anger subsided, he thought about it carefully and realized that Su Mu was currently locked up in this place he disliked. He was overjoyed and a smile spread across his face.

Her voice became gentler and more pleasant. "Hehe, that's right, you did a good job. You'll get your share of the rewards later!"

As he spoke, he strode inside. Behind him, a sinister glint was hidden deep in the eyes of the man, like a venomous snake ready to strike at the opportune moment.

The first thing that caught my eye was Su Mu, his hands and feet bound, sitting disheveled beside the clutter, his beautiful eyes now filled with fear as he looked at me.

Liu Yating first laughed arrogantly, then walked to Su Mu's side, reached out and lifted Su Mu's sharp chin, and smiled.
