Reborn as the Villain's Wife, I Shine in 80s-Chapter 461 - 446 Though distant, must be punished

In Hua Zifeng’s office, seeing Ji Qin there did not surprise Tian Sangsang at all, but rather shocked her inwardly. Hua Zifeng has become so indiscriminate, isn’t this like young grass eating old cows? Although Ji Qin isn’t old and is quite voluptuous, she’s seven or eight years older than him, they’re not in the same age bracket.

Sister and brother? Married woman?

There’s a hint of lust in the office air, but thankfully the window was wide open, letting the wind in to dilute it somewhat.

Ji Qin deliberately adjusted her clothes to reveal the red marks on her neck, cast a provocative and sarcastic glance at Tian Sangsang.

A pot calling the kettle black, mutual six of one half a dozen of the other. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Who doesn’t know how to sweet-talk men in bed?

Why bother pretending to be noble?

Tian Sangsang noticed Ji Qin’s expression but had no intention of finding out what she was thinking, anyway, whatever she was thinking it was contrary to the facts.

"Miss Tian, such a rare visitor indeed! You’re coming to see me voluntarily? I’m truly flattered!" Hua Zifeng, with a few shirt buttons undone, warmly pulled up a chair for her: "Have a seat, I’ve been missing you dearly."

"I wouldn’t dare." Tian Sangsang calmly looked at him: "Where did Mr. Hua get the idea that he misses me? Ms. Ji might misunderstand."

"We are partners, of course, I think of you, why would it lead to misunderstanding? Miss Tian is my lucky star." Hua Zifeng smiled indifferently: "Qinqin, please pour a cup of tea for Miss Tian."

Ji Qin swallowed her displeasure, but obediently went to pour the tea. She wondered about Hua Zifeng’s attitude towards Tian Sangsang, partners? Isn’t it more like bed partners? One is in the food business, the other in beauty products, how would they cooperate? Hehe. What a subtle statement.

Ji Qin poured tea for both of them, the fragrance swirling about.

She politely said: "Miss Tian, please drink." After speaking, she took a chair and sat down on the side, seemingly casually looking out the window, but actually keeping an eye on what was happening.

Tian Sangsang’s gaze paused briefly on the rippling tea surface, then she picked it up and sniffed it slightly without drinking it. Since the loquat poisoning incident, she dared not consume things from Hua Zifeng’s place recklessly.

She’s afraid of being poisoned.

Hua Zifeng enjoyed a sip of the tea, looking at her with interest:

"Why doesn’t Miss Tian drink? Is the tea here not to your liking?"

Tian Sangsang shook her head lightly, smiling innocently: "Not at all, it’s just that pregnant women’s appetites are unpredictable."

She smoothly added: "Unpredictable, can’t drink tea, but I really miss the loquats Mr. Hua brought that day. I went around the market to look, and they’re really scarce, none as good as what Mr. Hua sent that day."

Hua Zifeng made an ’oh’ sound, only then deeply realizing that his counterpart was actually pregnant, and pregnant women have peculiar tastes.

"If you want to eat loquats, just let me know, why go by yourself?" Hua Zifeng laughed: "Even if I have to ride through the dust, I must earn the beauty’s smile."

The overly attentive attitude made Tian Sangsang reminisce about her days as a client. Most companies are quite respectful to clients, and the level of respect stems from how much business the two companies conduct together. Some places are just for show; others, like Hua Zifeng’s, literally throw money at the matter. Throwing money is necessary to earn more money in return.

"There’s no need. Where did Mr. Hua buy those loquats, just tell me an address, I’ll go buy them myself. You don’t know, I’m now massively hungry, I need to buy more for myself, otherwise, it’s not enough to eat." She smiled shyly.

"Even if you’re ravenous, I can still satisfy your hunger." Hua Zifeng raised an eyebrow, saying frankly: "Those loquats were from my mother, I’m not sure where exactly, I’ll ask for you when I go home."

Tian Sangsang quietly watched Hua Zifeng, her eyes fluctuating gently, "Alright, sorry to trouble Mr. Hua. And please send my regards to your mother." She came especially to test whether Hua Zifeng knew about the matter, but seeing his sincere attitude, she didn’t think he knew. The key seems to rest with Hua’s mother.

"By the way, Miss Tian." Hua Zifeng took another sip of tea: "The braised beef noodles are selling particularly well, even expanding sales to other provinces, soon to sweep the nation. Recently, I even received some orders from developing countries. Also, now that the war zone is short on supplies, I want to donate some instant noodles to contribute a bit to the soldiers of our country. Instant noodles are convenient for soldiers to eat."

"Mr. Hua is so patriotic, truly admirable." Tian Sangsang thought, indeed the war has led to a shortage of supplies, due to insufficient logistics. It seems she should also donate some items, like compressed biscuits.

"Those who offend our China will be punished even if far away." Hua Zifeng said: "I can’t be like your husband, shedding blood for the country, but I can do more for the country in my field, and that’s enough."

"Everyone has their strengths." Tian Sangsang felt a bit sad, slightly nodding her head.

"This instant noodle is selling like hotcakes, I wonder if Miss Tian has any other recipes?" Hua Zifeng smirked: "If you do, don’t forget about me. At that time, it won’t just be loquats, even the moon in the sky, as long as Miss Tian says a word, we’ll find a way to bring it down for you."

Tian Sangsang raised her cup: "I hope there can still be opportunities for cooperation."

Ji Qin was shocked. She had heard about the braised beef noodles back in Dongzhen City, with a market price of 5 cents per bag and 2 yuan per cup. A cup was too expensive, she once had the luxury of buying a bag, and it was absolutely heavenly, the most wonderful thing she ever tasted. Unexpectedly, it was Tian Sangsang’s recipe!

It turns out that Hua Zifeng’s so-called partnership was indeed a real partnership! Ji Qin felt increasingly inferior, and the more inferior she felt, the more unwilling she became. Not only unwilling, but she also regretted it. If she could have worked well with Tian Sangsang back then, it would mean a rolling fortune now, without needing to beg Li Qiong’er for a store location, or rely on Hua Zifeng to establish herself in Beijing. Though Hua Zifeng was good, he wasn’t her type. She liked tall and heroic men, like, like... Tian Sangsang’s husband. The kind who can battle on the battlefield and gallop in the bedroom. Surely, his skills in bed must be extraordinary.

But what was done was done, regretting can’t mend their relationship, and there was nothing worth dwelling on. Even if Tian Sangsang is better than her, so what? As long as she surpasses Tian Sangsang in something, she’s won.

When Hua Zifeng returned home, there was only Hua Jun alone in the living room.

He smiled with a perplexing meaning: "Sister, my brother-in-law has gone to the frontline to fight, yet you’re so leisurely reading, it really surprises me."

"He’s much stronger than you, he’ll be fine." Hua Jun’s heart tightened, but she replied without lifting her head.

"That’s not for sure, YN is a treacherous place. Others might not know, but we know more or less, how many have been buried there, unable to return. Maybe my brother-in-law will be the next revolutionary martyr. Then you wouldn’t be planning to live as an old nun forever, right?"
