Rebirth as the Richest Woman in the World
Chapter 403 (second watch of the night)

Chapter 403: 403 (second watch of the night)

Lu Yan had been living in the Shen family villa for quite some time. Only today did she find this magnificent creation.

She originally thought that such an important thing as Qin Jie’s manuscript would be left behind in hard copy, but unexpectedly, Qin Jie had saved everything in computer documents.

With this great work, her path to fame was indeed not far away.

She no longer wished to be labeled a "vase."

"What’s wrong?" Shen Lingtian, wearing a bathrobe, walked out of the bathroom while drying his hair and sat down beside Lu Yan, wrapping his arm around her waist and pulling her into his embrace.

"Look, isn’t this that bitch’s piece of work?" Lu Yan scrolled the mouse, flipping through a couple of pages of the document.

"Yes, this is it. She mentioned it to me before, over four hundred thousand words and all meticulously edited. Baby," Shen Lingtian lowered his head and nibbled on Lu Yan’s earlobe, his voice husky, "how are you planning to thank me now?"

Lu Yan turned her head with seductive eyes and looked at Shen Lingtian, "How do you want me to thank you?"

Recently, Shen Lingtian was full of energy. Over the past few days, they had left their marks in various places.

Office, hotel, villa...

Whether Shen Clan’s stocks dropped by 3 percentage points, or an unknown small company snatched a cooperation deal, he didn’t care at all. The moment he closed his eyes, all he could think about was Lu Yan’s alluring body.

Shen Lingtian’s hand, adorned with Buddha beads, carefully caressed every inch of Lu Yan’s skin, his eyes ablaze with passion, quickly filling the air with a decaying scent.

Huagui Park.

Chu Jin replied to a book review, then headed downstairs.

At the same time, Wen Ziyao emerged from the next room. She had clearly been crying, her eyes were red, but the color of defeat on her face had vanished, and her aura had changed. The gloomy air that had previously shrouded her also disappeared, as if she had been reborn.

Before leaving, she handed Chu Jin a check, "Master Chu, please be sure to accept this."

"Mrs. Wen, you have already transferred the fee to my card," Chu Jin returned the check to Wen Ziyao, "I cannot accept this anymore. May you be safe, happy, and true to your original aspirations for the rest of your life."

"Master Chu, thank you." Standing outside in the night in her black clothes, Wen Ziyao’s pale face revealed a smile, "Goodbye."

Chu Jin saw her out, "Goodbye." The scattered light refracted through the window onto her face, obscuring her exquisitely chiseled features, revealing only a perfect silhouette like an ink painting, attracting countless gazes. She exuded a serene and ethereal charm, her presence unworldly and peaceful, and one that commanded respect.

Wen Ziyao stared at her dumbfounded for a long while before getting into her car and driving away, leaving a trail of dust.

Chu Jin also turned and went back inside. With Aunt Zhang absent, she had to cook for herself. She boiled plain water, added noodles, cracked an egg into it, and then sprinkled it with chopped green onions and coriander; a dish of fragrant plain noodles was ready.

Seeing her eat with satisfaction, Zi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Brother Jin, is it good?"

"Want some?" Chu Jin raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Yes!" Zi hastened to nod her head.

As the two were talking, Lin Xiaoman floated down from upstairs. However, Chu Jin was conversing with Zi through consciousness, so to outsiders, she was merely sitting there, quietly eating her noodles with grace that did not include the "slurp" sounds that common people make when eating noodles. Every gesture was a beautiful sight to behold.

It was apparent that she had received a good upbringing from a young age, likely a child who came from a prestigious family.

"Master Chu, I’ve got a favor to ask of you," Lin Xiaoman floated to the opposite side and slowly spoke, her voice somewhat ethereal, as if insubstantial.

Chu Jin pulled out a piece of tissue to wipe her mouth, "What is it, you tell me."

"In three hours, I need to report to the underworld. I want to see my parents one last time before I leave. Can you help me?" As someone who had taken her own life, she hadn’t seen her parents for one last time before dying and hadn’t been home during the hazy time before her suicide. Being an only daughter, thinking back, she felt she had let down the parents who brought her into this world. She wondered how they were doing now, after so many years, and whether they had moved on from the pain of losing their daughter?

Only seeing her parents doing well could she depart with peace of mind.

Chu Jin slightly lifted her eyes, "Follow me." Then she got up and walked upstairs.

Lin Xiaoman followed.

In the room on the second floor, Chu Jin first prepared a basin of clear water on the table, then arranged items like the incense burner, glutinous rice, candles, and such. She then spread a piece of yellow paper on the table, took up a writing brush, dipped it in cinnabar, and looked up at Lin Xiaoman, "What are the birthdates and horoscopes of your honorable parents?"

Lin Xiaoman, a filial daughter, quickly recited her parents’ birth details.

After drawing the talisman, Chu Jin lit three sticks of incense and inserted them into the burner, then scattered some glutinous rice on the table.

Having done all that, Chu Jin tossed the drawn talisman paper into the basin of water. As soon as the talisman touched the water, it burst into flames and turned to ash, sinking to the bottom.

Suddenly, an unbelievable scene appeared on the water’s surface.

Lin Xiaoman’s eyes widened in shock as she covered her mouth tightly, "Dad, Mom..."

She saw an image of a middle-aged couple walking out of a hospital, embracing each other. Both had greying temples, and the years had left plenty of marks on them. Four years had passed and the couple no longer bore the traces of losing a daughter.
