Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

On that bustling yet vibrant commercial street in Nanjiang County.

Guilan Jewelry Store is like a small but dazzling pearl, quietly nestled among the rows of shops.

The afternoon sun shone gently through the glass windows, illuminating the dazzling array of jewelry inside the store.

It refracts a dazzling array of colors, adding a touch of dreaminess to the entire store.

Chen Guilan hummed a lighthearted tune, the melody filled with satisfaction and contentment with her current life.

She wore a simple yet elegant bodycon dress, which perfectly showcased the refined taste she had acquired from running a jewelry store over the years.

Working alongside her were Chu Mengran's mother, Chu Yu, and two young and lively female employees, Xiao Zhao and Xiao Sun.

The three of them chatted quietly as they sorted through the newly arrived goods.

"Look at this batch of newly arrived crystal bracelets, they're of really good quality."

Chen Guilan picked up a bracelet and examined it closely in the sunlight, her eyes filled with appreciation and love.

The crystals on the bracelet sparkled brilliantly in the sunlight.

Chu Yu smiled and nodded in agreement: "Yes, Guilan, you have a unique eye."

"Every time we stock up on goods, we can accurately grasp the customers' preferences. No wonder the business in the store is getting better and better."

Xiao Zhao and Xiao Sun also gathered around, praising him enthusiastically.

Xiao Zhao said excitedly, "Boss lady, this bracelet will definitely look great with your dress today. Why don't you try it on?"

Xiao Sun chimed in, "That's right, that's right, the boss's wife would definitely look even more elegant wearing it."

In an instant, the store was filled with a warm and cheerful atmosphere, with laughter echoing in every corner.

On this afternoon when all the students were at school, there were few pedestrians on the street, and business in the shops was relatively slow.

Suddenly, a man wearing a mask and a baseball cap pulled low crept furtively toward the Guilan Jewelry Store.

His steps were unsteady, as if he were drunk, or as if he hadn't had a proper rest in a long time.

It would glance around warily from time to time, looking like a frightened mouse, filled with fear and unease about everything around it.

He pushed open the door and went into the store.

Upon hearing the noise, Chen Guilan subconsciously looked up, her face immediately plastered with a professional business smile.

They greeted us warmly, saying, "Welcome! See if there are any accessories you like."

Despite the man's strange appearance, she didn't think much of it.

After all, I've been in business for over a year, and I've encountered all sorts of customers.

She has always adhered to the principle of putting customers first.

The man stood at the door, his eyes flashing with a complex light, a mixture of greed, lust, and anger that sent chills down one's spine.

He stared intently at Chen Guilan, as if trying to see right through her, his gaze filled with a chilling intensity and ferocity.

A moment later, he slowly raised his hand, took off his baseball cap, and then ripped off his mask, revealing his haggard and ferocious face.

Chen Guilan froze, and the ornament she was about to place fell to the ground with a thud.

She never imagined that the person standing in front of her would be Liu Dazhu, the nightmare she had long since erased from her life!

He had lost everything through gambling and then developed drug addiction and trafficking habits.

She even tried to sell her second daughter Er Ya's husband, who was only eight years old (now nine)!

"You...why are you back?"

Chen Guilan's voice trembled slightly, her eyes filled with panic and fear.

His body trembled slightly involuntarily, as if he had seen the most terrifying monster in the world.

Chu Yu and the two female employees keenly noticed the boss's wife's unusual behavior and immediately became alert.

They stopped what they were doing and stared intently at Liu Dazhu.

Chu Yu stepped forward and stood in front of Chen Guilan, as if to build a protective wall for her.

Xiao Zhao and Xiao Sun stood nervously to the side, not daring to breathe.

Liu Dazhu seemed not to see anyone else and approached Chen Guilan step by step.

As he walked, he pulled out a gleaming knife and grinned maliciously, saying, "Guilan, look at yourself now, how confident and beautiful you are!"

“That rustic village girl has started dressing like a bourgeois and wearing all sorts of fancy jewelry.”

"But what about me? Your husband, what kind of life have I been living? Hiding all the time, eating food worse than pigs and dogs!"

His voice grew louder and louder, filled with resentment, each word sounding as if squeezed out from between his teeth.

Chen Guilan's face was extremely pale. Suppressing her fear, she questioned, "Liu Dazhu, what exactly do you want to do back here?"

"You've been out of touch for over a year, what's your purpose in suddenly reappearing now?"

Liu Dazhu's face contorted with rage as he suddenly roared, "You dare ask me why I came back? Look at your slutty outfit!"

"This skirt is ridiculously short, it's almost up to her thighs! She's wearing lipstick and powder on her face, and her arms and legs are showing."

"How many men are you trying to seduce into your bed? How many times have you cheated on me?"

His eyes were wide open and bloodshot, like those of a raging wild beast.

"You're talking nonsense!"

Chen Guilan angrily cursed, her eyes reddening, "I work so hard to run this shop so that I can live a good life with my children."

"Back then, he was addicted to drugs and even tried to sell Er Ya, doing such a beastly thing. Now he still has the nerve to come back and slander me?"

"Find your conscience. Do you deserve to be a husband or a father?"

Liu Dazhu ignored her explanation and said with a sneer, "Don't pretend to be innocent!"

"Today, I'm taking Er Ya with me. I'll keep Da Ya for you. Er Ya is also my daughter, and I can do whatever I want with her."

"She has my blood in her veins, so I'm in charge!"

"no!"

Without a second thought, Chen Guilan immediately refused, her voice firm and resolute.

"Don't even think about hurting Er Ya again, you monster! You've ignored her all these years, and now you want to take her away? You're dreaming!"

Chu Yu subtly winked at her two female colleagues, signaling them to call the police immediately.

The two female employees understood each other and quietly retreated towards the office at the back of the store, making sure their footsteps were as light as possible, for fear of attracting Liu Dazhu's attention.

However, the conflict escalated far beyond their expectations.

Seeing that Chen Guilan was adamant about not giving in, Liu Dazhu suddenly went berserk, brandishing his knife and charging forward.

He shoved Chu Yu aside, then grabbed Chen Guilan and said viciously, "You dare disobey me? Today I'll show you what I'm capable of!"

"You think you can get rid of me now that you're all grown up? How naive!"

He grabbed Chen Guilan and led her toward the small storage room inside the jewelry store.
