The CEO's wife is reborn and vows to pay for her crimes in blood.

Chapter 10 Such Parents

"You really want to cut ties with that kid surnamed Xu?" Mr. Chu simply didn't believe it.

“Absolutely true.” Chu Xinglan nodded.

"Didn't you used to be so desperate to be with him? How come you broke up with him so suddenly?" Mrs. Chu asked with a look of suspicion.

“I was foolish before and couldn’t judge people well, but now I see him clearly. He’s with other women besides me.”

Chu Xinglan can only blame Xu Yang for everything now.

"That kid, he doesn't look like a good person at all." Mr. Chu was secretly pleased, but still asked with some doubt, "So, who was he with?"

"That was a junior from my school, I think her name was Yu Jiaojiao."

"Yu Jiaojiao? The heiress of the Yu Group? Yu Jiaojiao?" Mr. Chu asked in surprise.

"Dad, do you know her?" Chu Xinglan seemed even more surprised than him.

"Yes, I know him. I've done business with Mr. Yu!" Mr. Chu nodded. He believed him. After all, if there wasn't a romantic entanglement, how could Chu Xinglan know the heiress of the Yu Group?

Although Mrs. Chu did not know Yu Jiaojiao, judging from her husband's expression, he probably believed Chu Xinglan's words. Since he believed it, she had no reason to doubt it.

"Lanlan, it's good that you broke up with that Xu guy. He's not good enough for you at all," Mrs. Chu said happily.

Chu Xinglan nodded obediently.

"So now I'm focusing on my studies and don't want to worry about relationships anymore."

Mr. Chu and Mrs. Chu exchanged a glance. Since she didn't intend to move out and secretly be with that Xu Yang, they didn't need to worry about anything. Besides, she now had her own thoughts, and if they pushed her too far, who knew what she might do? If she angered Gu Ye, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“Alright then, your mother and I agree to let you move out. I’ll have Assistant Wu find you an apartment near the school right away,” Mr. Chu said.

"Dad, don't bother your company. Just transfer the money to my card, and I can find it myself," Chu Xinglan said hurriedly.

They can't know where she lives, otherwise they'll come looking for her every few days. Also, given her parents' nature, they might just send a man to find her directly, which is terrifying to think about.

Mr. and Mrs. Chu were unaware of what Chu Xinglan was thinking. Seeing her determination, they could only say, "Alright then, I'll have someone transfer the money later. Let me know as soon as you need anything. You're my daughter, and I can't let you suffer."

"Thank you, Dad!" Chu Xinglan smiled brightly, then gave Mrs. Chu a quick kiss on the cheek. "Then I'll go back to my room and get ready."

After Chu Xinglan left, Mrs. Chu looked at Mr. Chu with a bad expression.

"Are you really planning to let her move out?"

Mr. Chu made a shushing gesture, glanced at Chu Xinglan's room, and whispered, "Who knows what might happen to a young girl alone out there?"

Mrs. Chu's eyes lit up.

"did you mean?"

“Our Lanlan is so beautiful, finding any rich and powerful person in the business circle wouldn’t be a problem. Once she’s settled in, we’ll trick her into revealing her address, and what happens after that is none of our business,” Mr. Chu said, looking shrewd and calculating.

Mrs. Chu happily gave Mr. Chu a thumbs up.

Don't blame them for being heartless. They raised her all these years, which is already the greatest kindness they could show. It's only right that they ask for some interest from her.

Chu Xinglan returned to her room and called her good friend Shu Weiting.

"You brat, I thought you were playing hide-and-seek! You finally called me. Ugh, it was supposed to be your birthday party, but you ran away and now I have to clean up your mess and pay for it. What kind of logic is that?"

A series of rapid-fire outputs came from the chat.

Chu Xinglan covered her ears with her hands, feeling a little uncomfortable. After the conversation had stopped, she slowly said, "Tingting, thank you for your hard work. I'll transfer the money to you."

"No need for that, we're family. But why did you suddenly leave without a word? Did you really go to find Xu Yang? Why are you being so shameless? Xu Yang is no good, and you still went to him like that?!"

Shu Weiting became increasingly angry as she spoke.

"No, I... had a little trouble that day." Chu Xinglan bit her lip. Although telling Shu Weiting the truth wouldn't cause any problems, it was better not to let more people know this secret. Otherwise, with Shu Weiting's carefree and sexy personality, if she found out that she and Gu Ye had interacted, she would cause a huge uproar, and then she might not be able to get anything done.

"What happened? Are you alright?" Shu Weiting asked anxiously.

Chu Xinglan could tell that her friend cared about her, and she felt a pang of sadness. She hadn't returned home all night and hadn't received any care from her family, but she had received long-lost care from her good friend.

"It's nothing serious," Chu Xinglan said casually, then said seriously, "Tingting, I called you this time because I want you to help me find a place to live."

"Looking for a place?" Shu Weiting was surprised. "Why would you need to look for a place out of the blue?"

I want to move out.

"Why do you suddenly want to move out? Did something happen? Are your parents pressuring you again?" Shu Weiting knew a lot about Chu Xinglan's family. Her parents were inhuman; they always tried to use Chu Xinglan to curry favor with the powerful and wealthy. They were practically selling their daughter.

It was originally thought that selling one's daughter was something that only happened to poor families, but it turns out that even wealthy people are no exception.

"No, my parents are fine now, they wouldn't dare to make things difficult for me," Chu Xinglan said calmly.

"Why is that?" Shu Weiting was confused. Why did they suddenly become so well-behaved?

"It's a long story, I'll tell you when I have time. Can you help me find a place to live?" Chu Xinglan asked.

"Absolutely, leave it to me," Shu Weiting assured her.

"I want a quiet neighborhood, preferably one where no one knows me."

"Are you... planning to retreat from the world? How about I find you a secluded spot deep in the mountains?"

"Seriously, it's best if you stay far away from my home or school." Chu Xinglan said earnestly.

"By the way, aren't you preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam? Isn't it inconvenient to live so far from the school?" Shu Weiting asked hesitantly.

"I don't want to take the postgraduate entrance exam anymore," Chu Xinglan said softly.

In her previous life, she had to end her studies because she married Gu Ye. In this life, she has no intention of continuing her postgraduate studies. Firstly, she is now pregnant with Gu Ye's child and cannot study while heavily pregnant. Secondly, she has something more important to do than studying. She cannot let the suffering she endured in her previous life go to waste. She must find the people who harmed her and make them pay for their crimes in blood.
