Transmigrating Before The Crazy Beauty Scum A Loses Control - Chapter 59

The information conveyed by the receptionist made Luan Yenan snort coldly, with no further reaction.

The young receptionist, seeing Luan Yenan’s response, was momentarily at a loss and stood at the office door watching her boss.

Luan Yenan leisurely walked to the bar in the office, operated the coffee machine, and prepared a cup of black coffee for herself.

There was no need to rush.

Although the girl at the reception spoke to her in a nervous tone, the fact that she could extricate herself suggested that the situation wasn’t too serious, and the other receptionist must have already taken the person to a suitable place to wait.

The company was still in its early stages, lacking a strong foundation, but from the beginning, recruitment had been handled personally by her.

Later, the team leader in charge of human resources was also personally poached by her from another company.

Not to mention, the company’s security was divided into three groups: the first was provided by the park, although they did not directly serve the company, they were officially arranged by the park and would definitely report any disturbances directly to the police, who would take it seriously.

The second group was personally selected by her from a security company.

The third group was a batch of elites specially selected through the connections of Luan Muyin and Luo Yun after she had recently made a big splash.

Even a master thief would have to be carried out horizontally, let alone a few scammers.

“Family? What family? Your boss’s family now is me, only me.” Luan Yenan’s response made her stance clear.

The young receptionist, hearing this, felt her nervousness fade and even felt like laughing.

Whenever the boss’s wife was mentioned, the boss’s demeanor completely changed. Not only did she claim the status of family, but she also claimed an “only.”

This possessive little thought was completely displayed on the surface.

It was completely inconsistent with the boss’s usual decisive and efficient image.

However, this attitude was a bit strange.

Before the young receptionist could think further, Luan Yenan asked again, “What do the people who came look like?”

The young receptionist recalled, “Three people, a man and a woman who are middle-aged, not well-dressed, with some gray hair, a bit thin, claiming to be the boss’s wife’s parents, shouting for the ‘unfilial daughter’ to come out quickly. We asked them to be quiet, but they didn’t listen and even tried to hit us, so we had the security come out to control the situation. There was also a younger man, claiming to be the boss’s wife’s brother, but he doesn’t look like her at all, smoking and spitting, telling us to be polite. He only calmed down when the security came out.”

This was also the reason for her complex expression when she came to find Luan Yenan.

If these people were just scammers, it would be one thing.

But if what they said was true, having the security handle them might not end well.

But after listening, Luan Yenan still leisurely sipped her coffee.

The young receptionist, sure that the worst hadn’t happened, breathed a sigh of relief and continued to wait.

Only after Luan Yenan finished her coffee while reading the newspaper on the table did she cautiously ask, “So, boss, how should we handle this now? Should we kick them out?”

Luan Yenan glanced at the clock on the wall.

It had been about ten minutes since the receptionist came to find her.

Their patience should be nearing its limit.

Luan Yenan opened a drawer, took out a small item, put it in her pocket, and then walked past the receptionist, leaving the office: “I’ll go see them.”

The young receptionist hurried to Luan Yenan’s side, following half a step behind, and said, “They’ve been placed in the reception room on our floor.”

When leasing this floor of the office, it was chosen for its layout, dividing one floor into two sides, originally intended to be rented to one large and one small company.

But Luan Yenan took it all, using it as the company’s office, rest area, and reception room.

After taking over the entire floor above, the use of the small area opposite was still retained.

Luan Yenan nodded.

She was very satisfied with their arrangement.

Zuo Baixuan was in a meeting upstairs, so they couldn’t let people go up there.

As Luan Yenan walked through the corridor, she heard unpleasant words mixed with dialect continuously coming from the reception room.

Luan Yenan tried to filter out the meaningless abuse, looking for useful information in the words.

“What’s going on, we told you to call Zuo Baixuan, that ungrateful girl, out here, why haven’t you done anything? Isn’t she your boss’s wife? I’m her father!”

“Yeah, what’s wrong with you? Working for such an unfilial boss’s wife, are you at ease? Don’t you have parents at home?”

“Dad, Mom, don’t waste words on them, I think we should just rush out.”

“Liang liang, don’t be impulsive, there are still security guards outside, if you get hurt it won’t be good, let your dad handle it, today if they don’t give us 200,000, don’t think about sending us away!”

200,000?

Making such a big scene to ruin Zuo Baixuan’s image, just for 200,000?

If they had secretly approached Zuo Baixuan, she might have just given it without letting me know.

But then again.

Originally, the original owner had “bought” Zuo Baixuan, so her family couldn’t imagine what her current treatment was like.

And with Zuo Baixuan’s personality, once she left that “home” she wouldn’t be controlled by them anymore.

Luan Yenan walked to the door of the reception room.

Outside stood alert security guards, all trained professionals, who shouted energetically, “President Luan!”

The title “boss” was a habit of the first batch of technical staff recruited.

“President Luan” was Luan Yenan’s external title.

The two security guards shouted out their presence, scaring the three inside into silence.

The older receptionist inside, hearing that Luan Yenan had arrived, hurried out: “Boss… this…”

Luan Yenan did not express her stance, nor did she let the two receptionists leave, instead giving the two security guards a look.

They followed Luan Yenan into the room.

The room became even more crowded.

The three sat at one end of the long table in the reception room, while Luan Yenan pulled out a chair and sat at the other end.

Two burly security guards stood behind Luan Yenan.

The two receptionists, to make space, stood at the door of the reception room, ready to assist if needed.

The aura Luan Yenan brought in as she entered made the three not dare to breathe loudly, let alone with two security guards present.

The two middle-aged people shrank their heads, and the young man also shut his mouth, completely losing the aggressive demeanor he had earlier.

Such a family of three, all cowards, really dared to come to the company to make trouble on their own?

But if someone was behind them, wanting to harm Zuo Baixuan, why not choose a time when I was away on a business trip?

“Zuo Baixuan’s adoptive parents and brother, right?” Luan Yenan asked, as if confirming something in the most accurate way.

Zuo’s adoptive mother eagerly replied, “President Luan, you must be so busy that you’ve forgotten us, haven’t you? We are Baixuan’s adoptive parents! And Xiao Liang is here too!”

“What is your purpose for coming here today?” Luan Yenan got straight to the point.

Seeing that Luan Yenan seemed quite approachable at the moment, Zuo’s adoptive father immediately grinned.

This uncultured middle-aged man smiled like an honest person, but unfortunately, he was insatiably greedy.

“I heard from people in the village that they saw our Baixuan on TV news, so I watched the rerun, and it really was her. Baixuan is so lucky to be with you, with a company like yours, you must make at least two or three hundred thousand a month, right? So asking Baixuan to give us 200,000 as filial piety shouldn’t be too much, right?”

Hearing the pettiness in his words, Luan Yenan found it amusing.

Although these three had limited knowledge, they were good at reading expressions. Seeing Luan Yenan’s lack of reaction and even a look of disdain.

Zuo’s adoptive mother suddenly stood up and said, “You rich people shouldn’t be so stingy. Xiao Liang hasn’t married yet, what’s wrong with asking you for some money to help her brother? Two or three hundred thousand is just what the villagers say, we’ve even heard others say your company could make tens of millions, even hundreds of millions!”

Luan Yenan’s fingers lightly tapped on the table: “Tens of millions, hundreds of millions, that’s not wrong, but who told you that?”

“It’s not wrong? It’s…” Zuo’s adoptive mother suddenly shut her mouth at this point.

Luan Yenan’s eyes, like those of an eagle, were so sharp that she dared not move.

“Who said it, does it matter? What matters is whether you give us the money or not? If you don’t give us the money, we will definitely let the media know that you two wives are unfilial and disloyal people!” The young man impatiently shouted, scraping together the only bit of knowledge he had.

Luan Yenan said calmly, “Then I really am quite scared. You’re Zuo Xingliang, right?”

“Yes, what about it?”

Luan Yenan looked at him without saying anything more.

The cruelty of society had been borne too much by his parents, this person was too naive.

Luan Yenan continued to look at Zuo’s adoptive mother and father.

But a voice from outside retorted, “Back then, you asked Luan Yenan for a bride price, didn’t you already sell me? Even my household registration was moved to follow her, can you still be considered my parents now? Why should I give you money?”

Luan Yenan turned around and saw Zuo Baixuan, surprised that she had come down from upstairs. Her eyes were burning with anger, but her expression and tone were calm.

This adoptive family couldn’t hurt her much.

Or rather, she was already used to it.

“You ungrateful brat, even if we’re not your biological parents, the grace of raising you is heavier than the grace of birth, shouldn’t you repay us?” Zuo’s adoptive father, who had been meek in front of Luan Yenan, found a place to exert his “fatherly authority” when Zuo Baixuan appeared.

But Zuo Baixuan looked at him coldly, her eyes filled with disdain, much like Luan Yenan’s.

Zuo’s adoptive father’s anger flared up, and he cursed, “You’ve really changed, haven’t you? With a backer, you can ignore the grace of raising you, can’t you? Ungrateful wretch, today you must give us money, otherwise these things of yours won’t just be known by your colleagues. We will definitely let the media know, you’re an ungrateful wretch, we’ll ruin your reputation!”

“You want 200,000?” Luan Yenan, tired of his nonsense, simply confirmed again.

“200,000 isn’t enough for your worth of tens or hundreds of millions, at least… two million! That’s enough for my parents’ retirement.” Zuo Xingliang made an exorbitant demand.

Zuo Baixuan frowned at Luan Yenan, thinking that this person’s “rich person’s disease” was acting up, with too much money burning a hole in her pocket, ready to spend money to settle the matter.

She immediately intervened, “Don’t give, such people will only become more and more unsatisfied. Why do they naturally think that the fruits of others’ labor are their property? When I was a child, the money I earned from working and scholarships had to be given to you, wasn’t that enough? You sold me, wasn’t that enough? Now you have the nerve to ask for alimony.”

The security guards and receptionists in the room secretly clenched their fists.

How could this be!

Although they had already seen that these people came with ill intentions, they didn’t expect the boss’s wife’s background to be so tragic.

The boss’s wife was actually an adopted daughter, and her adoptive parents were extorting money from her like this.

What a strong and tragic character!

The boss must treat the boss’s wife well!

Everyone’s eyes focused on Luan Yenan, wanting to see her reaction.

“Hey, President Luan is willing, what are you saying, child?” Zuo’s adoptive mother, afraid that Luan Yenan would change her mind, hurriedly said.

Luan Yenan stood up and walked in front of Zuo Baixuan.

Zuo Baixuan was about to speak anxiously, but saw a fox-like smile on Luan Yenan’s face.

Zuo Baixuan immediately swallowed her words, she was really angered to the point of confusion, who was this crazy woman? Only she could scam money, how could she be extorted?

She had more ways to deal with people than I did!

Luan Yenan hugged Zuo Baixuan with one arm, smoothing out all the insecurities born from her family environment.

Looking into her eyes, she spoke slowly, “Yes, we still need to take care of them in their old age. I will find them a place with a serene environment, where meals are served on time, and there are plenty of fitness and recreational activities.”

Zuo Baixuan calmed down, her chaotic mind becoming clear. Listening to Luan Yenan’s description, she couldn’t help but smile.

Seeing the couple suddenly exchange smiles, Zuo’s adoptive family was stunned.

Zuo’s adoptive mother also smiled, “There’s such a good place for retirement? That’s great, then we don’t have to worry about Liangliang getting married.”

“Oh, that’s still a concern, as he probably won’t find a wife there.” Luan Yenan looked at Zuo’s adoptive mother.

Zuo’s adoptive mother, still lost in her dream, said, “Oh, Liangliang is still young, no need to arrange for him to retire yet. We’re not greedy, just give him the two million to buy some land in the village, build a house, and he’ll have more than enough to get married.”

Luan Yenan interrupted her, “I’m afraid that won’t be possible, it’s not allowed in prison.”

“Prison?” Zuo’s adoptive mother was dumbfounded.

Luan Yenan took out a small device from her pocket.

It was a recording pen that was currently operating.

“I think you should believe that I have enough money to hire the best lawyers to send you to prison, right? Rather than letting you squander the two million, it’s better to give it to the lawyers and ask them to help you enjoy your retirement directly.” Luan Yenan’s lips curled up, not minding wasting a few more words to explain.

There’s no use beating around the bush with such people; it’s better to speak plainly so they can understand.

Zuo’s adoptive father’s family, who had raised her despite their poor conditions, now that she’s grown up, she’s actually plotting against us?

Zuo Xingliang also understood and, losing his rationality, rushed towards Luan Yenan, trying to snatch the recording pen.

Slap—!

Before Zuo Xingliang could get close, a crisp sound landed on his face.

Zuo Baixuan’s hand was extended; this powerful slap was something she had wanted to deliver for over a decade!

This was finally repaying their “kindness in raising her”!

The crisp sound interrupted Zuo’s adoptive father’s curses, and while it landed on Zuo Xingliang’s face, it left him stunned.

Zuo Xingliang became even more hysterical, “You b1tch, how dare you hit me! After all these years of eating and using ours, how dare you hit me?!”

Luan Yenan just found it noisy, wrapping her arm around Zuo Baixuan’s shoulder as they left the room.

She had originally wanted to enjoy the spectacle a bit more, but now, Zuo Baixuan clearly wasn’t in the mood for jokes, not even wanting to spare another glance.

The expressions on the two security guards’ faces were serious as they blocked the only exit from the reception room.

Luan Yenan looked at the two receptionists outside the door and said, “The boss lady and I are leaving early.”

“Okay, boss, boss lady, take care!” The two receptionists said excitedly.

Their eyes were full of admiration for Zuo Baixuan.

They didn’t look down on Zuo Baixuan or feel sorry for her because of her adoptive parents; instead, they found the last slap she delivered incredibly satisfying.

Luan Yenan held Zuo Baixuan’s hand and quietly walked into the elevator.

As the elevator doors slowly closed, completely cutting them off from the outside world, Luan Yenan pulled Zuo Baixuan into her arms.

Zuo Baixuan pursed her lips, wanting to refuse the comfort from Luan Yenan.

Her ear was met with a warm, moist sensation, followed by a low voice with a hint of suggestion, “We didn’t have time to deal with the side bedroom this morning before we left. So…”

Zuo Baixuan’s ear was filled with a sip of wine.

The pheromones of vodka hadn’t appeared, but her ear itched unbearably.

Zuo Baixuan twisted her body, trying to drive away all of Luan Yenan’s mischievous intentions.

Then she heard Luan Yenan continue, “So shouldn’t we first go to a mall for dinner, and then buy some bedding together.”

Bedding, presumably meaning duvet covers, sheets, pillowcases, and so on.

But the way Luan Yenan spoke with such an ambiguous tone made it sound strange no matter how you listened.

Zuo Baixuan shot her a glare, knowing her intentions, but feeling anything but grateful. Thanks, but no thanks.

“Instead of changing the subject like this, why don’t we talk about that family of theirs!”

“Huh? I’m not changing the subject, I’m being very serious. Yesterday, the bedsheets were all because of you…”

“Shut up!” As the elevator reached the first floor, Zuo Baixuan covered Luan Yenan’s mouth.

Outside the elevator, the computer maintenance team, who had just been relieved from their shift, stumbled upon this delightful scene, their eyes wide with surprise.

Zuo Baixuan hurriedly pushed Luan Yenan’s head and turned to walk out of the elevator.

Pretending as if the maintenance team were completely invisible.

This time, Luan Yenan didn’t deliberately say anything like “good work” she just glanced at them, raised the corner of her mouth, and leisurely followed behind Zuo Baixuan.

“Ahhhh!” A scream echoed before the two of them walked out of the building.

Zuo Baixuan’s ears turned red. The anger she felt toward her adoptive parents completely dissipated, leaving only the desire to “deal with” Luan Yenan.

After getting into the car, Luan Yenan noticed Zuo Baixuan’s sour expression and behaved herself, not deliberately provoking her further.

After driving for a while, Zuo Baixuan finally spoke up, “Are you really planning to sue them?”

“I don’t have money to hire a lawyer.” Luan Yenan replied bluntly.

“Pfft.” Zuo Baixuan was caught off guard and laughed. “Oh right, I almost forgot that our Boss Luan is a major debtor. If you had told them earlier, they might not have even dared to blackmail us.”

“Not so fast, Boss Lady. I may not have money, but you do. So, it’s up to you to decide how to handle this.” Luan Yenan said, turning to look at Zuo Baixuan during a red light.

The adoptive parents, those bloodsuckers, had been quiet for a long time.

Mainly because of Luan Yenan’s intimidation.

They naturally knew that going up against a powerful family like the Luans would not end well.

Their cowardly behavior today proved that even after coming here, they still thought the same way.

So, who exactly instructed them to overcome their fear and attempt blackmail?

Luan Yenan wanted to see how much Zuo Baixuan knew.

Zuo Baixuan, however, turned her head away. “There’s no need to sue them. Taking legal action would actually put us at a disadvantage in the court of public opinion. A large portion of netizens always side with the ‘weak,’ regardless of the facts. ‘Yituan’ is thriving right now, which obviously doesn’t fit the ‘weak’ label. If someone is pushing this behind the scenes, it could get even worse.”

Behind the scenes?

Luan Yenan didn’t respond, just listened as Zuo Baixuan continued.

Unfortunately, she didn’t get the answer she wanted. Zuo Baixuan only listed “Luan Lizheng” and other potential competitors.

Luan Yenan stepped on the gas as the light turned green. “Then we’ll do as you say. Let them go, and I’ll send them a copy of the recording later.”

She would also arrange for some people to keep an eye on them, to see if they could uncover who was behind this.

Maybe it really was Luan Lizheng or some other competitor, or perhaps…

…

“You go up first. I just reserved a table at a hotpot place that’s been really popular lately. I haven’t had time to wash the car recently, so I’ll take it to the car wash in the parking lot and join you soon.” Luan Yenan said after dropping Zuo Baixuan off at the mall.

She did go to the car wash, but she also stopped by a flower shop to prepare the first of 198 bouquets for Zuo Baixuan.

A few minutes later, Luan Yenan arrived at the floor where the hotpot restaurant was located.

The mall was bustling during dinner hours, filled with background music and noise. Yet, for some reason, she immediately heard Zuo Baixuan’s intermittent voice amidst the chaos, heading toward the emergency exit.

The emergency exit door was slightly ajar, its latch undone.

Zuo Baixuan stood outside, her back to the door, her tone teetering between control and breakdown.

“Was today’s incident also your doing, just to leave me isolated?”

“What do you really want…”

“I can’t give you that…”

“Stop talking!”

She hung up the phone.

Her body trembled.

Luan Yenan watched the entire scene. If Zuo Baixuan had turned around during this time, she wouldn’t have hesitated to rush over and stand by her side.

But Zuo Baixuan didn’t.

And now, Luan Yenan longed to step through that emergency exit door and give that frail figure a warm hug, to reassure her that it was okay because she was there.

But Luan Yenan knew that even if the emergency exit door was open to her, the one in Zuo Baixuan’s heart was not.

She was just a part of Zuo Baixuan’s plan, a step she had exchanged for her “freedom.”

All she could do was watch Zuo Baixuan’s back through the door.

The moment Zuo Baixuan turned around, Luan Yenan put on her best acting.

“Oh, you’re here too! These flowers are for you. Here, take them. I’ll go wash my hands.” Luan Yenan said, handing the bouquet to Zuo Baixuan, who had just come in from outside.

Zuo Baixuan couldn’t see Luan Yenan’s expression clearly, nor could she discern her emotions. It was as if Luan Yenan was wearing a mask.

But wasn’t she wearing one too?

Zuo Baixuan looked at her reflection in the glass nearby.

The look of shock was still on her face.

Her mask was worn on the inside.

Zuo Baixuan touched her chest, then looked at the bouquet of flowers in her hand, their appearance and scent both unusual. A slight waver appeared in her eyes.

It was a bouquet of honeysuckle.

Not the kind used in medicine, but fresh honeysuckle.

Two flowers on one stem, paired together, looking like a pair of birds drawn to each other from the side.

Among Zuo Baixuan’s scattered childhood memories, one of the few beautiful ones included her mother introducing her to honeysuckle.

Her mother said that the language of honeysuckle was true love, symbolizing giving love wholeheartedly.

As a child, she didn’t understand what those words meant.

As she grew older, she doubted whether anyone in the world, besides her mother, could selflessly give all their love to one person.

But the moment Luan Yenan handed her the flowers, she felt that, besides her mother, perhaps a madwoman could do it—love someone wholeheartedly and crazily.

Author’s Note:

Luan Yenan: I am.

Thank you all so much for your support! I’ll keep working hard!
