Reborn as Tycoon's Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 608 - 443
Chapter 608: 443
Returning to her room, Xiaofeng locked the door and then lay on the bed to enter the space.
She planned to use the water from the space to test.
She prepared two types of medicinal materials for testing, one was ginseng, and the other was a plant mentioned in a book from the forest.
When Ye Cheng entered, he found Xiaofeng asleep, lying on her side without moving, the kind that slept very soundly.
From yesterday to now, she indeed hadn’t rested well, so it was normal for her to be tired.
After bathing in the restroom, Xiaofeng had already woken up.
There was a faint blush on her face, and she looked at him with somewhat bewildered eyes, "You’re back."
There was a faint smell of alcohol on her, he climbed onto the bed and sniffed at the corner of her lips, "Did you drink?"
"Yes, I had a little drink with Grandpa, so I’m a bit dizzy and had just fallen asleep."
"I want to drink too."
"I saved a little for you, do you want to drink it now?" Xiaofeng got up to get it for him.
Ye Cheng took a sip, the alcohol wasn’t strong, but rather mild and soothing to the throat, not necessarily the kind appreciated by those who liked strong drinks.
He first took a sip himself, and then took another, directly cupping Xiaofeng’s face and pressing his lips to hers.
The way to drink shouldn’t be too traditional, sometimes it needs innovation, like this.
Xiaofeng hadn’t reacted yet when the wine already flowed down her throat into her stomach.
Ye Cheng took another sip and drank with her in the same manner.
Xiaofeng’s alcohol tolerance was truly poor; moreover, she had just had some with her grandfather. After a few gulps, her head was already spinning.
"I can’t drink anymore, I’m drunk." Xiaofeng closed her eyes, not wanting to drink anymore.
Ye Cheng looked at her slightly drunk appearance, swallowed hard, and their lips entangled together.
Xiaofeng wrapped her arms around his neck, deepening the kiss.
As long as the woman before him was her, whether he remembered or not, it no longer mattered.

"Family Head, this Dragon King does indeed seem quite interested in the Young Madam of the Gu Family. He has already agreed to start a factory cooperation with the Young Madam,"
Men Chao put down a letter in his hand and said to Yin Li, "This Dragon King, don’t you find him strange? Like, who is backing him? An ordinary person, no matter how capable, couldn’t have climbed to his current position."
Just like the Wolfman who also sought refuge with him.
This Dragon King must have someone backing him.
"Do you mean he’s suspected of courting the Gu Family?"
"If he wants to court the Gu Family, let’s make him cuckold the Young Master of the Gu. That way, even if he wants to seek shelter with the Gu Family, they have to want him first. In his world, useful people are kept, while those who aren’t needed, obviously don’t have to stay."
"Mr. Xu is very dissatisfied with how you handled his factories and has been clamoring to see you."
"Then let’s meet, I’ll see what he wants to say." Since taking over the Xu Family, Xu Xuezi has been bedridden, the old Xu is confined in his own courtyard, and Mr. Xu’s family is also locked in their own courtyard, unable to come out.
"Men Chao, you’re just a dog of our Xu Family, and now you even dare to shit on our heads. Dad should’ve never picked up a dog to bring home, but now you see, it’s even watching over the house for us. You’re not human, you’re a wolf, a wolf that wants to devour our family, you just wait, you’ll get what’s coming to you," Xu Hongtu saw
Men Chao, and cursed without another word.
This Men Chao was a thankless wretch, devouring without spitting out; not only was he monopolizing everything of the Xu Family, but now he also cut off all his income sources.
"Dad." Men Chao sat down, and someone immediately poured him tea: "You say this as if Xuexue isn’t your daughter. Xuexue and I are married, we are one family, there’s no such thing as insiders or outsiders in a family." freewebnøvel_com
"Bah, Xuexue was just foolish then, definitely fell for your tricks. Men Chao, those factories are mine, you must return them to me." The Xu Family didn’t give him money, he had to make his own way.
Those were his major sources of income, cutting them off would starve him.
"Dad, we actually have the Gu and Quan Families to thank for this. If they hadn’t discovered that you had properties outside, I would have never known. Dad, you are the eldest son of the Xu Family, Grandpa’s son. Even if you want to make money, you should at least join a few legitimate factories. Now look, all these factories are illegal, and you’ve been sued as running a Heixin Factory, and the complaints have reached me. I have to handle it, right?"
"The Gu and Quan Families are too despicable." Xu Hongtu gritted his teeth: "I don’t believe their money is all clean."
"Dad, it’s not good to say about these matters, they require evidence. Like your case, they’ve handed the evidence to me, stirred up by the Gu and Quan Families. I’m the Family Head of the Xu Family, no matter how you look at it, I can’t just ignore this."
"Son-in-law, of course, Dad understands your difficulties," Xu Hongtu changed his tone: "Can you let Dad go out for a while? I need to handle some affairs. Don’t worry, I promise I’ll be back soon, and I won’t cause any trouble,"
He needed to go to the bank to check if his money was still there.
"Of course, that’s possible," Men Chao didn’t refuse: "Yin Li, you go with the gentleman later, make sure to ensure his safety."
"Yes, I’ll definitely ensure the gentleman’s safety."
Xu Hongtu didn’t care who followed him; he just wanted to get out and check if his money was still there.
...
"Sister, sister!" Lan Shuixian’s brother found Xiaofeng, his tone urgent: "Bad people have come to our house, can you come and help my sister?"
"What happened?"
"An old bachelor has taken a liking to my sister. Grandmother and my sister both disagree, but they are relying on their numbers to come and take her by force. I really couldn’t find anyone else, so I thought of you."
"Okay, I’ll go with you." Initially, she thought Lan Shuixian came from the modern era, but now it seemed, Lan Shuixian wasn’t.
Whether in her methods or behavior, she didn’t resemble one bit.
When Xiaofeng arrived at Lan Shuixian’s house, an old lady stood in the courtyard with three men beside her.
"Sister, it’s them. These are her three sons; she wants to marry my sister to her youngest, but my sister disagrees, so they’ve come to kidnap her,"
The week prey upon by the strong, no matter the era, there are always those who think too highly of themselves and believe they can bully the weak.
The old lady glanced at Xiaofeng, fair-skinned and beautiful—a pretty person, perfect to be married off to her fourth son as a daughter-in-law.
