Transmigrating Before The Crazy Beauty Scum A Loses Control - Chapter 46
Wen Qing stood between Wen Fenghua and Luan Yenan, feeling the atmosphere was somewhat suffocating.
Over the years, those who came to visit her father at home were more or less people who had some ulterior motives towards her family, but which one of them didn’t come in with full courtesy and flattery?
She had never seen anyone like Luan Yenan, who openly admitted that she was here to swindle money and even deliberately mentioned Zuo Baixuan.
Clearly, she was just trying to provoke.
Yesterday, Wen Fenghua had confidently told Wen Qing that now, in the eyes of outsiders, Luan Yenan was a hot commodity, with many people surrounding her, wanting to take a piece of the pie.
If Luan Yenan was smart, she would definitely come looking for some backing.
Whether it was the Luo family or others currently seeking to cooperate with her, even if there were elders supporting them behind the scenes, it was always the younger generation who came forward, superficially saying “the kids are interested, just playing around.”
To put it bluntly, everyone knew that Luan Yenan now had something interesting, but no one wanted to directly wade into these muddy waters.
Not to mention that Luan Lizheng was now secretly involved.
His intentions were almost common knowledge.
Other families, without definite assurance, certainly wouldn’t be willing to easily make an enemy of Luan Lizheng for Luan Yenan.
After all, Luan Yenan is Luan Lizheng’s granddaughter.
If Luan Yenan were willing to agree to a marriage alliance with the Wen family, Wen Fenghua might consider it.
But given her current attitude, it was clearly non-negotiable, and with such a lack of cooperative attitude, she still wanted to come and swindle money?
“I heard you’re here to swindle my money today? I wonder how you plan to do that?” Wen Fenghua was curious, having seen many unexpected and unprepared dirty tricks, but such an open and blatant approach, he had never heard of.
Luan Lizheng had already made preparations for the evening banquet.
And Luan Yenan seemed only to be on the receiving end.
Now, time was running out for Luan Yenan, not only did she not want to admit defeat, but she also wanted to take benefits from him, thinking quite beautifully.
Seeing the confident expression on Wen Fenghua’s face, Luan Yenan silently took out her glasses and put them on.
Wen Qing, watching from the side, felt her breath hitch.
She was completely defenseless against the charm Luan Yenan exuded at this moment.
Mature and steady, with a hidden dangerous aura.
Completely different from the ignorant, childish, and arrogant Luan Yenan of her younger years.
“Could Miss Wen please step out for a moment?” Luan Yenan professionally took out the documents she had prepared but did not hand them over directly.
Luan Yenan’s words interrupted Wen Qing’s reverie, her face blushing, she glanced at her father with embarrassment, her eyes full of pleading to stay.
Wen Fenghua was somewhat helpless at his daughter’s lack of composure but still waved his hand to signal her to leave, not fulfilling her wish.
“Miss Luan, please tell me, what are you planning?” Wen Fenghua leaned back, waiting for Luan Yenan to make her move.
“Mr. Wen, perhaps, would you like to add some chips to your family’s position?” Luan Yenan pushed the documents to the center of the table, waiting for Wen Fenghua to take them himself, standing completely on equal footing.
Only the two of them remained in the room, engaged in a secret conversation.
No one knew what they discussed.
For the entire afternoon, the study seemed to be sealed off, not allowing anyone to approach.
Even the servants only knew that during Luan Yenan’s time in the study, the family lawyer had made several trips.
When Luan Yenan left, she was carrying several folders and a briefcase.
What was inside, no one knew.
The servants could see that Wen Fenghua was beaming, in a very good mood, making several phone calls on his way from the study to the bedroom, and after returning to the bedroom, he did not allow anyone to disturb him.
Wen Qing leaned against the windowsill, watching Luan Yenan’s retreating figure without looking back.
A servant came in: “Miss, have you decided on the dress for the evening banquet?”
“Yes.” Wen Qing looked at the dress she was wearing, pure, graceful, full of virtues, but not given a second glance by Luan Yenan, she said to the servant, “Choose the most outrageous dress.”
…
Zuo Baixuan had classes in the morning and had to go to Professor Chen’s in the afternoon to complete her research tasks.
However, Jiang Lingdan noticed that her studious friend was acting quite unusual today. During the morning class, although her eyes were fixed on the teacher, she didn’t take any notes.
In the afternoon, it was even more excessive; the error rate in the basic codes she produced was unusually high, and it took several revisions before they were presentable.
“Little Zuo, why are you so distracted today? Did something happen?”
Zuo Baixuan was taken aback by the question. She didn’t deliberately gloss over the situation but still found an excuse: “Tonight, Luan Yenan’s grandfather is hosting a banquet to welcome and cleanse another grandchild.”
“Hmm, I know that, you told me, and it’s not a secret anyway, it’s already caused quite a stir. They say Luan’s grandfather has gone all out, booking the largest hall in a five-star hotel, and sending out many invitations, big and small. It seems like… could it be targeting Luan Yenan and you?” Jiang Lingdan filled in a lot of content herself.
Zuo Baixuan nodded in acknowledgment: “Somewhat.”
After speaking, she glanced at her phone again.
It was unknown how many times she had looked at her phone today, checking the time and also seeing if Luan Yenan had contacted her.
She wondered how things were going on Luan Yenan’s end.
She wondered if Luan Yenan and the Wen family could reach some consensus.
She also wondered whether Luan Yenan had successfully gotten money from Wen Fenghua or had been controlled by him instead.
It was impossible not to worry… She had to worry about whether her cooperation with Luan Yenan could proceed smoothly, so of course, she would worry!
Seeing that the tasks at hand were almost completed, Zuo Baixuan packed up her things: “Everyone, sorry, I have something to attend to tonight, I need to leave first.”
“Sure, go ahead and take care of your business!” The other team members also roughly knew what Zuo Baixuan was dealing with, many showing encouraging smiles.
Although many envied Zuo Baixuan for marrying the current Luan Yenan. But after all, it’s a wealthy family, and wealthy families are not that simple; the scale of hosting a dinner at home is not as relaxed and easy as ordinary families.
Jiang Lingdan watched Zuo Baixuan’s hurried demeanor and stroked her chin: “Although the reason is full and reasonable, I still feel something is off.”
Chen Huanyu glanced at Jiang Lingdan, the look of discomfort without gossip made her want to laugh.
Jiang Lingdan turned around and coincidentally met Chen Huanyu’s smile, still somewhat puzzled: “Senior, what are you laughing at?”
Chen Huanyu’s ears turned slightly red, and she averted her gaze: “Luan Yenan went to the Wen family today, Zuo Baixuan might be restless because of this.”
“Ah? How come I didn’t know about this!” Jiang Lingdan lowered her voice and leaned closer to Chen Huanyu, “Senior, how do you know? Your intelligence network is more efficient than mine. Senior~ We’ve been friends for a while, can we have a deeper exchange?”
“…” Chen Huanyu looked at Jiang Lingdan’s hands climbing onto her body, clenched her fists tightly, and was momentarily speechless.
She knew Jiang Lingdan didn’t mean anything strange, but the words just got more and more twisted, and the meaning sounded increasingly ambiguous.
This junior was doing it on purpose, her habit of talking nonsense has become more obvious as the relationship got better, and it wasn’t the first time she had been teased.
Chen Huanyu closed her eyes for a moment: “There’s no intelligence network, Luan Yenan told me herself.”
“Why did she only tell you, when did your relationship get so good? Ah, I know!” Jiang Lingdan suddenly had an inspiration with her usual dramatic flair.
Chen Huanyu, because of Jiang Lingdan’s sudden exclamation, couldn’t help but worry: “What do you know?”
“Hmph! I know you must have private contact with Luan Yenan! Tell me, have you secretly been invited by Luan Yenan to work at her company without telling us!” Jiang Lingdan thought she was such a big smarty.
Chen Huanyu couldn’t help but laugh, also thinking Jiang Lingdan was such a big smarty.
Jiang Lingdan saw Chen Huanyu’s beautiful smile and snorted: “Don’t think you can divert my attention by smiling so cutely, I already know. No way, we’re a team, if you really go to work at her company, take me with you. You see, I’m definitely good at helping to operate the company’s social media platform, right?”
Chen Huanyu thought about it carefully and couldn’t help but nod: “You’re right.”
“Sure enough, it’s easy to talk when you have someone on the inside.” Jiang Lingdan happily hooked her arm around Chen Huanyu’s shoulder, hanging onto her in an instant.
This had already become their most frequently used posture.
But Chen Huanyu never got used to it, her hands tightly gripping her pants, as if restraining something.
…
Zuo Baixuan hurried home.
Ready to call Luan Yenan as soon as she got home.
As she stood in the elevator, Zuo Baixuan was already thinking about how to phrase her words to sound more natural.
Approaching the door, she entered the password to unlock it while simultaneously dialing a number on her phone.
Ring, ring, ring—
The familiar ringtone of a basic phone model echoed from inside the room.
The moment the door opened, Zuo Baixuan, holding her phone, heard the same question from both in front of her and through the phone: “You’re already at the door, still calling?”
Luan Yenan was standing sideways in the room, dressed in a black evening gown adorned with sparkling diamonds. The light around her seemed to focus on the diamonds, and the brilliance of the diamonds all concentrated on Luan Yenan herself.
The backless design fully displayed her fair back, and the unique butterfly design at the front was perfectly accentuated by her good figure.
Zuo Baixuan stared at the dazzling starry scene for a while, repeatedly captivated by Luan Yenan’s beauty, which made her mood subtly change.
She pursed her lips, shifting her attention to the black pearl earrings by Luan Yenan’s ears, and asked into the phone, “You saw me coming home, why still answer the call?”
“If you want to chat with me on the phone, of course, I’ll accompany you.” Luan Yenan laughed.
The concern on Zuo Baixuan’s face was so obvious earlier that Luan Yenan naturally and tacitly accepted Zuo Baixuan’s care.
Realizing she had exposed herself, Zuo Baixuan simply put away her phone and said bluntly, “I was worried that you wouldn’t gain any advantage from going to the Wen family and would be delayed by them. I didn’t expect you to come back so early.”
“Wen Fenghua was surprisingly easy to talk to. Seeing enough benefits, he didn’t even need me to speak and directly agreed to my conditions.” Luan Yenan also put down her phone, picking up another gift box and walking towards Zuo Baixuan.
“What conditions?” Zuo Baixuan was even more curious about this.
Luan Yenan looked up at her and smiled, “You’ll know tonight, no need to rush. Come on, change into the dress first. We’re the ones performing on stage today, and we still need to find time to put on some heavy makeup.”
Zuo Baixuan was pushed by Luan Yenan into the side bedroom, taking the dress from her hands without refusal.
After Zuo Baixuan went back to her room, Luan Yenan stood in the living room waiting, and at the same time received a text from “Huanyu.”
[I want to add someone to my team.]
Luan Yenan didn’t think much and replied.
[As you wish.]
Then she contacted a few more people to ensure everything went smoothly tonight.
It was really an interesting drama, the stage was set by others, the actors were found by others, and she was one of the protagonists, but she was there to crash the party. Just thinking about it made Luan Yenan somewhat excited.
But this long-lost sense of excitement was soon interrupted as Zuo Baixuan came out of the room wearing a long gown.
The style Zuo Baixuan chose for herself was completely different from Luan Yenan’s backless dress. As usual, she completely wrapped herself up.
Not just front and back, but even her arms were covered in fabric, yet what caught the eye was the dress’s cheongsam elements and the Chinese-style hollowed out design.
Zuo Baixuan’s body was fully wrapped, yet her elegant and quiet temperament was fully displayed.
The fabric clung to Zuo Baixuan’s body, outlining her curves and slender waist, like a sketch that had been colored heavily with a marker.
Luan Yenan couldn’t help but approach her.
Zuo Baixuan also didn’t show any timidity, tilting her head up as she waited for Luan Yenan to step closer to her barefoot on the floor.
The hollowed out patterns on her body deliberately used butterflies that matched Luan Yenan’s, the two still paired.
Luan Yenan didn’t speak, just pulled Zuo Baixuan towards the master bedroom.
Zuo Baixuan offered no resistance.
She no longer felt any fear towards the master bedroom, and she could even guess what Luan Yenan intended to do.
She was led to sit in front of the dressing table, where the makeup would be applied.
Luan Yenan didn’t start, just stood by admiring: “It’s time to showcase your makeup skills.”
“Shouldn’t we hire a makeup artist?” Although Zuo Baixuan asked this, she had already started applying makeup to her face.
Zuo Baixuan usually didn’t buy any big-brand cosmetics, but she had the skill to make ordinary cosmetics look high-end.
This was something Jiang Lingdan had mentioned during a casual conversation.
Luan Yenan only applied light makeup casually and always relied on professional makeup artists for events.
She had actually prepared for this, but couldn’t resist wanting a sneak peek. Since Zuo Baixuan had picked out such a suitable dress for her, she probably could also create the perfect makeup look.
“You know our family’s current situation, with so much debt, how can we justify spending money on unnecessary things like makeup? I’ll have to trouble you with my makeup later.” Luan Yenan joked, leaning against the door frame.
Zuo Baixuan held back her laughter to avoid disrupting her makeup application, simply glancing at Luan Yenan.
Even without makeup, Luan Yenan’s radiant eyes and bright teeth could outshine many who wore heavy makeup.
As Zuo Baixuan applied her own makeup, she pondered how to approach Luan Yenan’s face, unconsciously using her own face as a testing ground, applying highlighter to areas she normally wouldn’t. Just as she thought about refining it further, Luan Yenan grabbed her hand.
Luan Yenan looked at Zuo Baixuan.
The delicate flower had turned into a wild rose.
A tingling sensation rose in her heart.
The urge to pluck the flower grew stronger.
The sting of a rose thorn pricking her finger as she twirled the stem came to mind.
Zuo Baixuan noticed Luan Yenan stopping her without speaking, and though subtle, she caught the slight tremble in her throat.
She couldn’t help but find it amusing.
“What’s wrong?” she asked knowingly.
Luan Yenan suppressed her thoughts, lifting the corner of her mouth without explaining, simply saying, “Good skills, now it’s my turn.”
She gathered her long hair behind her, pulled Zuo Baixuan up, casually sat in front of the dressing mirror, and then pulled Zuo Baixuan in front of her.
Perhaps from years of dancing, every movement and interaction between them seemed to follow a rhythm, especially now that they were wearing long gowns.
Zuo Baixuan’s skirt fluttered as if countless butterflies were taking flight, mirroring the one rising and falling on Luan Yenan’s chest.
Zuo Baixuan reached for the foundation, opting to sit sideways on Luan Yenan’s lap, their dresses rustling as they overlapped.
Ignoring Luan Yenan’s raised eyebrow, she placed one hand on her shoulder and pressed the makeup sponge onto Luan Yenan’s face with the other.
Watching her own thick eyelashes flutter repeatedly.
Zuo Baixuan couldn’t resist running her finger over them.
As she withdrew her hand, she offered an unnecessary explanation: “I was just checking if you needed false eyelashes.”
Luan Yenan exhaled a soft laugh through her nose, saying nothing, simply watching as Zuo Baixuan worked on her face.
Every movement Zuo Baixuan made was gentle and careful, as if handling a precious piece of art.
This was the first time Luan Yenan had experienced such a level of care from Zuo Baixuan.
Their gazes met repeatedly, only to drift apart again.
The air conditioning was on, yet the temperature in the room seemed to be rising.
By the time Zuo Baixuan applied highlighter to Luan Yenan, she could no longer sit still.
Placing both hands on Luan Yenan’s shoulders, she stood up on her own: “There, take a look.”
Luan Yenan’s gaze first swept over Zuo Baixuan’s face before turning to the mirror.
Though it was bold makeup, it was just right.
“From now on, you’re my personal makeup artist. How about you do my makeup for the Top Ten Singers event?” Luan Yenan’s red lips parted slightly.
“Why do you always think of making me work without pay?” Zuo Baixuan neither agreed nor disagreed, simply retorted.
“Once you agree to become the lady boss at the company, besides giving you shares, I’ll also set a fixed salary for you. We’ll use the money we got from Wen Fenghua today.” Luan Yenan stood up, holding a necklace as she walked to Zuo Baixuan’s side.
A salary was one thing.
But using the money swindled from Wen Fenghua?
Zuo Baixuan tried to hold back, but couldn’t help laughing at Luan Yenan’s remark.
“Alright then, I look forward to your performance tonight.” Zuo Baixuan said as she watched Luan Yenan fasten a necklace around her neck.
The unconventional ruby, accompanied by a circle of small diamonds, became the highlight of today’s outfit.
All the butterflies around her began to flutter towards this touch of red, including the woman beside her adorned with butterfly motifs.
Luan Yenan admired her own taste for a while.
Zuo Baixuan, unable to withstand such an intense gaze, finally gave in and turned her head to ask, “Shall we go now?”
Luan Yenan also withdrew her gaze, taking Zuo Baixuan’s hand as they walked out, “No rush, there should be plenty of delicious food tonight, but we might not have much time to eat. Let’s grab a bite first.”
…
The banquet arranged by Luan Lizheng had invited almost all the prominent families in the capital, big and small.
Regardless of how hastily he had sent out the invitations, these families, bound by social niceties, would always find time to attend.
Moreover, there was an undercurrent of a major drama unfolding today, which no one could resist.
Even families that had past conflicts with Luan Lizheng sent their younger members to witness the spectacle.
This included the Qin family, who had previously been allied with the Luan family through marriage but turned hostile after the Luan family’s young lady passed away due to illness.
This banquet could be considered the annual gathering of the capital’s elite families, with many traveling from out of town and new elites also in attendance.
The hotel was on high alert, providing top-tier service.
The invitation was set for seven o’clock.
From the moment the hotel received the order yesterday, they began mobilizing staff. They held a meeting this morning, conducted a comprehensive training session for all employees in the afternoon, started setting up at three, completed the setup by four, placed desserts and drinks by five, opened the banquet hall at six, and began serving hot dishes as guests started arriving.
When the first batch of guests arrived, the waitstaff began their service in an orderly manner.
Sitting in the lounge, Luan Lizheng, with his hands on his cane, asked the old butler beside him, “How is Yecha doing?”
The old butler, only slightly younger than Luan Lizheng, had a face that was often compared to a jackal’s, a look that added to his imposing presence in his later years.
Having been by Luan Lizheng’s side since childhood, he was now in charge of the courtyard house and understood Luan Lizheng’s thoughts thoroughly.
At this question, the old butler’s jackal-like nose twitched as he clearly responded, “Everything is arranged for the young master, including today’s speech and any possible scenarios at the banquet. He will not be flustered.”
Luan Lizheng opened his eyes, “What time is it? How many people have arrived?”
“Five minutes to seven, almost everyone is here. Miss Yenan has been informed; as soon as she arrives, someone will announce her.” the old butler bowed, showing unwavering loyalty. He could see that Luan Lizheng’s focus had shifted from Luan Muyin to Luan Yenan.
In his view, the protagonists of this banquet were not so much Luan Yecha as they were Luan Yenan and Luan Lizheng.
Though the old butler didn’t fully grasp Luan Lizheng’s intentions, he understood that a storm was brewing.
Knock knock knock—
Just as he finished speaking, there was a knock at the door.
“Mr. Luan, Miss Luan has arrived.” a waiter announced.
Tap!
Luan Lizheng tapped his cane and stood up, “Let’s go out.”
…
Outside the hotel, besides a variety of luxury cars, there were also many media personnel.
In addition to those invited by Luan Lizheng, some had come on their own, sensing a big story.
They had been waiting at the entrance since morning.
They had already captured the faces of Luan Lizheng and Luan Yecha, but Luan Yenan, who was currently at the center of much discussion, had yet to be seen.
The wait was becoming increasingly anxious.
As seven o’clock approached.
It would be unthinkable for the Luan family to invite all the notable figures in the capital to a banquet without the Luan family’s young lady attending or arriving late, wouldn’t it?
But the reporters, wiping the fine sweat from their brows, decided not to worry.
Even if the Luan family’s young lady didn’t show up, it would still be big news, and they had already prepared their drafts.
At that moment.
A discreet high-end business car stopped at the red carpet in front of the hotel.
All the reporters, with their hound-like instincts, heightened their alertness and aimed their cameras and video recorders towards the business car.
Click.
The heavy door of the business car opened.
A flash of black light dazzled.
How could light be black?
But they couldn’t find a more suitable description.
It was a dazzling black light.
Luan Yenan’s skin was strikingly pale, but she carried a black aura, dressed in a black dress, with only the bright red on her lips adding color, a color that inspired awe.
No one dared to look directly into Luan Yenan’s eyes, until a white light emerged from the business car.
A red flower blossomed in the eyes of the crowd, enveloped in white butterflies.
Gasp—!
Is this Luan Yenan’s wife?
What was her name again?
She was a top student at the capital’s University, who had won several awards.
Her name was Zuo Baixuan.
Luan Yenan held Zuo Baixuan’s hand, standing proudly under the spotlight. From today onwards, the capital would officially have a place for this couple.
Author’s note:
Luan Yenan: I’m offering a reward of one million for the best photo of me and my wife, to be used as my phone wallpaper.
Zuo Baixuan: We couldn’t afford a makeup artist, but you’re spending a million on a photo? Where did you get the money to splurge like this?
Luan Yenan: Scammed it from the Wen family.
Zuo Baixuan: …I almost forgot about this new big fool.
