Given the other person's long legs, slender waist, and powerful chest and abdomen, Wang Xinrui curiously looked up at the other person's face. She was immediately captivated by the other person's handsome, almost otherworldly features, and stood there dumbfounded, her soul seemingly lost.

"Who are you looking for?" Lou Qianzong asked coldly, his brows furrowing slightly. He disliked the infatuated look this woman gave him; women like that often became a source of trouble for him.

Wang Xinrui composed herself, put on what she thought was her most beautiful smile, and asked, "Excuse me, is Lan Nian here?"

Chu Nian peeked out from behind Lou Qianzong and asked, "Wang Xinrui, are you here to return the money?"

Wang Xinrui was so angry at her words that she almost couldn't keep up her smile. Her lips twitched several times, but she finally managed to maintain her beautiful smile and said sweetly, "Niannian, I've come to see you."

Chu Nian: "I just want you to pay me back."

Wang Xinrui's lips twitched again as she looked at Lou Qianzong and smiled, "Niannian, is this your new friend? Won't you introduce him to us?"

Chu Nian: "No."

Lou Qianzong felt very satisfied with her roasting of this woman. He immediately turned around and went back to his room, locking the door tightly. However, he peeked through the crack in the door to listen to the whispers: To be honest, he really enjoyed listening to that woman roast people. She always roasted them very well.

Wang Xinrui felt extremely embarrassed, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes, but she still tried her best to maintain a sweet smile and said, "Niannian, aren't you going to invite me in?"

Chu Nian: "Pay back the money first."

Wang Xinrui's smile froze for a moment, and she said, "Niannian, we used to be such good friends..."

Chu Nian coldly interrupted her, arms crossed: "After you schemed to harm me, we were no longer the same."

Wang Xinrui's smile froze again, so she put on a pitiful look and said, "Niannian, I think there might be some misunderstanding between us."

Chu Nian: "I have learned everything from that Lan Nian," she said, turning to glare at Wang Xinrui, "including how you approached her, conspired with her to murder me, and even gave my brother to her as her gigolo. When things went wrong, you pushed my brother out to take the blame."

Initially, the original owner always felt that with Lan Nian's powerful abilities, Wang Xinrui simply didn't have the ability to curry favor with her. Therefore, she always thought that Lan Nian was threatening Wang Xinrui, or that she was making conditions for Wang Xinrui to help her. She suspected that Wang Xinrui was to some extent influenced, tempted, or coerced.

Wang Xinrui always presented herself as a weak and helpless person who was forced into this situation in front of everyone.

Although the original owner was later swallowed by Lan Nian and merged into Lan Nian's soul, gaining some of Lan Nian's scattered memories, the original owner could not learn everything from Lan Nian because Lan Nian's own soul was very strong.

The original owner always believed that Lan Nian was the mastermind behind the rape and murder of her and her family. However, after Chu Nian used the Soul Searching Technique to explore Lan Nian's memories, she learned the whole story and realized that Wang Xinrui was the one who seduced her, while Lan Nian was the one who was seduced.

Hearing Chu Nian's words, Wang Xinrui, who thought she didn't know the truth, was extremely surprised, but she quickly regained her aggrieved look, even with tears in her eyes, and said, "Niannian, what are you saying?"

Chu Nian: "You know perfectly well what I'm saying."

Wang Xinrui: "I really don't know what you're talking about." Then she started crying.

Chu Nian was speechless for a moment, then said, "If you're not going to pay back the money, then get out of here!" With that, he slammed the door shut, almost hitting Wang Xinrui's nose.

Wang Xinrui cried her heart out. As soon as she got to the entrance of her building, she ran into Huo Qinghan, who was accompanied by a handsome young man in a Taoist robe.

"Huh? Wang Xinrui, what are you doing here?" Huo Qinghan asked in surprise.

Wang Xinrui was a little surprised to see him, and when she heard his question, she cried even harder, saying, "I came to see Niannian. No matter what happened between us before, I still hope we can get back together. But she... sob..."

She wept bitterly, her face streaked with tears, a pitiful sight to behold. Huo Qinghan was momentarily speechless. He dared not speak ill of Lan Nian, especially in front of the eminent Qingyun Temple master, Daoist Yunhe.

After thinking for a long time, he said, "People like them belong to a different world from us, so naturally they are different from us in some ways. Don't force yourself to think about her."

Wang Xinrui was startled: "Belonging to different worlds"? What did that mean? Lan Nian clearly said that the time-space overlap only occurred in this area, and those affected would have their memories of this time-space overlap erased by "above," so they wouldn't know that this had happened. But judging from Huo Qinghan's words, did he know that Lan Nian from several different timelines had met?

Seeing her staring at him with surprise, Huo Qinghan had no choice but to explain, "I mean, she and we are... people from a different level. Do you understand?"

“Different levels?” Wang Xinrui thought for a moment and tentatively asked, “You mean she belongs to a different circle than us, right?” She breathed a sigh of relief. If that was what Huo Qinghan meant, then it would be perfectly normal.

Huo Qinghan is the boss, while Lan Nian, no matter how much money she earns, is still an employee, even if she's a high-level executive. They naturally don't belong to the same circle.

Huo Qinghan nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I meant."

Wang Xinrui took a deep breath and said, "President Huo, actually I think..."

Just as she was about to launch into a long-winded discourse on "bosses and employees" to attract Huo Qinghan's attention, she suddenly heard a clear and magnetic male voice from the hallway, saying, "Alright, let's go!"

Then two extremely handsome young men walked out of the corridor. They looked very young, but their aura was extremely imposing. They moved like the wind and walked like the wind. They came to Huo Qinghan and the Taoist Yunhe.

Bai Ze had arranged to meet them at the Huo family villa today. The two men had been instructed by Bai Ze last time that they didn't dare go upstairs when they came to pick him up. They called Bai Ze as soon as they got downstairs and then waited there.

Bai Ze and Lou Qianzong came downstairs and bumped into Wang Xinrui and Huo Qinghan talking.

Upon seeing Lou Qianzong, Wang Xinrui's heart pounded like a deer, and her eyes were so captivated by his tall and handsome appearance that they were practically glued to him.

Lou Qianzong glanced at her with disgust and took two steps away from her. Bai Ze, seeing her, immediately said with displeasure, "Hey, aren't you the one who was blocked at the door by our Nian Nian and not allowed to come in?"

"I heard that Niannian left for a while, and as a result, all her assets were almost transferred by you, her former best friend. You're really something, daring to touch anyone's things." She finished speaking and chuckled mockingly.
