He Sirui fled in panic, too weak to even press the accelerator. With trembling hands, she dialed the right number several times before finally managing to get a driver to pick her up.
When she returned to her residence, her clothes were soaked with sweat, her face was as pale as paper, and she was panting heavily.
Even the short distance to walk into the room required her to hold onto the wall.
She lived in a house that the He family had bought in Yangcheng years ago. It was located in the suburbs, large, quiet, and very secluded.
But she still felt uneasy. After calming down, she frantically drew all the curtains in the house, stood with her back against the wall, and was filled with lingering fear.
Now she feels not only jealousy towards Jiang Mianmian, but also hatred.
“Miss,” the maid approached softly, “the person you wish to see has been arranged in the guest room.”
"What?" He Sirui steadied herself. "She's already here?"
"Yes, I just arrived in Yangcheng from Jiangzhou this afternoon. Since you weren't home, I took her to the guest room."
"I understand." He Sirui took a deep breath and tried to bring her heart rate back to normal.
She got up and slowly went upstairs. She took a shower and changed her clothes before opening the door to her guest room.
The woman in the wheelchair had her back to the door. Hearing the noise, she turned the wheelchair around herself.
He Sirui was startled.
The scars on the man's face, the ugly marks, were more serious... and more disgusting than she had imagined.
She suppressed her discomfort and calmly walked up to her.
"Hello, Miss Gu."
"Hello." Gu Zihan didn't dare to make any big movements, and her "hello" sounded like a mumble in her throat.
After being disfigured, she was brought back to Jiangzhou from Southeast Asia by the Gu family and underwent countless plastic surgeries, but she could never return to her former appearance.
On the contrary, because of the numerous surgeries performed, her internal organs were completely damaged, and her skin became as thin as paper. She didn't even dare to make a simple smile.
Before He Sirui came to Yangcheng, she had inquired about Jiang Mianmian and Gu Zihan, who were mortal enemies when Jiangzhou was there.
Gu Zihan's disfigurement is inextricably linked to Jiang Mianmian!
So she invited Gu Zihan to Yangcheng, promising to help her avenge the arrow wound.
Gu Zihan didn't dare to fly, so her family drove her here. Her purpose in coming was simple: she and He Sirui hit it off immediately.
If it weren't for that bitch and Xia Zhi working together in Southeast Asia, she wouldn't have used that face cream, and she wouldn't be in this situation today!
Xia Zhi is now in jail, leaving only Jiang Mianmian.
She wanted to destroy her with her own hands and watch her suffer a fate worse than death!
“Ms. Gu, I know that the Gu family started out in the beverage industry, and I also know that there was a best-selling beverage that was thoroughly investigated by the authorities because of Jiang Mianmian’s report, and therefore lost its market.”
"Yes!" Gu Zihan mumbled, but she didn't hold back at all, slamming her fist hard against the armrest of the wheelchair.
"That bitch...that bitch!"
He Sirui curled her lips, "The slut you speak of is now the Lu family's heiress. You... have the guts to deal with her?"
"I don't care whose daughter she is! She made me unhappy before, so I'll make sure she's unhappy for the rest of her life!"
"Yes, it's good that you have this determination."
He Sirui helped her stand up from the wheelchair and took her to the yard.
This suburban area is very secluded. Although it belongs to the central city, this area seems undeveloped, with overgrown vegetation all around, and it looks rather desolate at night.
The He family has always believed in feng shui.
When they bought this land and built this house, didn't they consider the feng shui? Didn't they even bother to find out if this land was suitable for habitation?
He Sirui frowned slightly, looking at the surrounding scenery, feeling a little depressed.
From childhood, the phrase she heard most often in the He family was, "People nurture feng shui, and feng shui nurtures people." But the surrounding scenery, at first glance, seemed to foreshadow decline.
She bit her lip, pulling herself back to reality, and continued to say to Gu Zihan, "I heard that the problematic drink you had back then was because something was added to it?"
Gu Zihan paused for a moment.
"Miss Gu, don't worry, I don't have time to bring up past grievances. But if we want Jiang Mianmian to suffer, the only way is to start with this matter!"
What does this mean?
"Lu's film and television city project is completed and will open soon." He Sirui sneered smugly. "It'll be a big event, half of the entertainment industry will be there! Tell me... if there's something wrong with the drinks for those big stars, who would be the most suitable person to take responsibility?"
Gu Zihan suddenly realized.
But she dared not laugh out loud, only letting out a series of "hehehe" laughs like those in a horror movie. He Sirui gave her a disgusted look and turned her head away.
"Miss He, don't worry!" Gu Zihan said, her mouth seemingly full of something. "I'll have Gu's technical department prepare the formula right away. Heh... I guarantee that on the opening day, even the big stars will hate Lu's Group!"

Jiang Mianmian, Huo Junyu, Huo Junyang, and Lu Ran have a private chat group called "Happy Four".
But the four of them were not happy at all today. When they met at the coffee shop, they all looked serious.
No matter how they investigated, the cleaner's identity remained a mystery.
The people sent out to investigate all came back saying, "That person is very mysterious. According to the bar owner, she doesn't have an ID card. They hired her to work because she said she didn't want money, just three meals and lodging. The bar owner is very shrewd, so he agreed."
"Without an ID card, it's impossible to investigate her through normal means. People around her don't know much about her either, only that her name is 'Niannian'."
"She worked very hard and cleaned the bar inside and out very well, but she was usually quiet, and her colleagues once thought she was mute."
“Niannian…” Jiang Mianmian repeated the name. In her memory, no one had this character in their name.
"If you keep something in your mind, it will surely come back to you?" Huo Junyang chuckled. "Your name is Mianmian, and hers is Niannian. Your names even rhyme! Maybe if you repeat her name a few more times, you two will run into each other again!"
"Mianmian," Huo Junyu said in a deep voice, "can you think of any more details?"
Jiang Mianmian tried hard to recall, and suddenly a thought flashed through her mind: "That day when she touched the gun handle, she seemed to be very interested in the word 'rainbow'!"
"Could it be... that she recognizes this gun?" Jiang Mianmian suddenly realized, "Could she be related to Sister Hong?"
“Sister,” Lu Ran said with a serious expression, “Sister Hong is involved in human trafficking… Was this girl sold by her before?”
