CHAPTER 247: CHAPTER 210

This is a commercial street, next to it are a coffee shop and a cake shop. In front is a clothing store, and opposite lies a shopping mall and entertainment venues. The foot traffic is heavy, and today being Sunday, the street is crowded like a sea of people. Finding someone here would be harder than ascending to the heavens, but for Lan Tian, it is not a difficult issue. Her Divine Sense is vast, sweeping over the nearby buildings like a spider web and spotting a certain woman in the coffee shop, her brow furrowing momentarily.

Zhou Yuwei—why is she here?

A hint of confusion flickers across Lan Tian’s eyes. Right now, finding Chunhua is critical. She glances over and moves her Divine Sense towards the next building, searching each one for traces of Chunhua. After exhausting the nearby structures without finding Chunhua, Lan Tian plans to leave and search ahead.

"Miss, are you looking for someone?"

A server from the coffee shop nearby dashes out and blocks Lan Tian’s path. Lan Tian sweeps a cold gaze over him, causing him to shiver like being sliced by an icy blade, and retreats instinctively. "Oh gosh, this lady’s gaze is terrifying," he thinks. Recalling the substantial processing fee given to him, he steels himself and takes a few steps forward.

Lan Tian calmly looks at the server, knowing she’s searching for someone, and specially waits here for her—other than the perpetrator who kidnapped Chunhua, who could it be?

What a coincidence. Chunhua is kidnapped from here, Zhou Yuwei happens to be here, and most importantly, the server dashed out directly from Zhou Yuwei’s coffee shop, showing no hesitation in approaching Lan Tian. What does this imply? It implies someone instructed him, and that person is inside the coffee shop.

Lan Tian scans the coffee shop; aside from Zhou Yuwei, a familiar face, she does not recognize anyone else. Chunhua is usually well-liked and hasn’t made enemies. The only hostile one is Zhou Yuwei, who clung to Mo Junhua despite knowing he was married, and was scolded, mocked, and despised by Chunhua.

After all, it still boils down to her. Chunhua was closest to her and naturally could not tolerate another woman ruining her marriage with Mo Junhua. Chunhua suffered because of her.

In a few moments, Lan Tian clarifies the situation.

"There’s someone inside who asked me to deliver a message. if you want to find someone, you need to go in and see her," the server stammers, finishing his sentence and then waiting for Lan Tian’s reaction.

"Let’s go!" Lan Tian steps into the coffee shop, the server murmuring "Amitabha" in his heart, leading Lan Tian inside towards Zhou Yuwei’s spot, then swiftly runs off after showing her the place.

Zhou Yuwei’s chosen location is excellent—it’s a corner spot, a blind spot of vision with a wall blocking the view from the entrance. Her side faces the window, with the curtain drawn open, providing a clear view of the street. Upon Lan Tian’s arrival, she is instantly aware.

There’s a coffee on the table, Zhou Yuwei is chin propped by one hand, occasionally stirring the coffee with the other, facing Lan Tian who stands beside her. Her eyes display a mix of smug triumph and malice, "You didn’t expect it to be me, huh!"

With a gentle lift of her chin, she points to the seat opposite, indicating for Lan Tian to sit down. "Take a seat!"

Lan Tian doesn’t bother with pleasantries, smoothly taking the seat.

Perhaps knowing she holds Lan Tian’s vulnerability in her hands, Zhou Yuwei casts away her usual humility and pretense, acting like a supreme queen. Thinking of how after today Lan Tian will be disgraced, known to everyone in Shanghai not for her good reputation, but for her scandalous affairs with men, Mo Junhua will never accept her again, and her family will never be able to lift their heads in pride, reduced to living in shame, sneakily fleeing Shanghai, Zhou Yuwei feels a surge of gratification.

"I know you have a lot of questions for me, we have plenty of time. Actually, I also have many questions for you." Zhou Yuwei laughs unrestrainedly.

"I indeed have many questions for you," Lan Tian said.

"You say," Zhou Yuwei was in a good mood, picked up her coffee cup, took a sip, and looked at Lan Tian across from her – still composed until now. It made her uncomfortable; she disliked this demeanor of Lan Tian, as if nothing in the world was worthy of her attention, including Mo Junhua.

Who knows if Lan Tian could still remain so composed after what happened next.

In her heart, Lan Tian truly felt that this Zhou Yuwei of this world couldn’t compare to the cunning Zhou Yuwei of the previous life. Back then, she cultivated a perfect image of innocence behind a facade, and no one ever saw through her. But this Zhou Yuwei... how should I put it? As they say in modern times, she’s really ruined. Besides the fact that Mo Junhua ignored her, it was, of course, also due to her own actions.

"Chunhua was kidnapped by you." Lan Tian didn’t beat around the bush and got straight to the point.

"Now that it has come to this, I’m not afraid to tell you, I did kidnap Chunhua, and Yanhua too." Zhou Yuwei smiled sweetly, her beautiful appearance even more attractive as she smiled, drawing the attention of the customers sitting around. Who would have thought that the sweet-smiling Zhou Yuwei had a heart of a viper?

"That fool Yanhua thought that by collaborating with me to deal with you, I wouldn’t lay a hand on her. She should have thought about it; knowing so many secrets, how could I let her live? Only the dead can keep a secret forever." Having seen the dirtiest and most destitute aspects of Zhou Yuwei, there was no way Zhou Yuwei could let her live.

What happened to Yanhua didn’t concern Lan Tian at all. Ever since Shitou told her that Yanhua had been very close with Zhou Yuwei, Lan Tian had already anticipated that Yanhua would not meet a good end. Keeping company with a devil, one must be prepared to be devoured by the devil.

"Where did you take Chunhua?" Lan Tian wasn’t interested in Zhou Yuwei’s secrets; she was only concerned about Chunhua.

"Why the rush? I will tell you, a good place." Zhou Yuwei chuckled, "You know what I hate the most? It’s that dead expression of yours, as if you care about nothing, as if nothing matters."

Lan Tian: "..." It’s also my fault that I don’t care? Damn it all, you live by the sea and meddle so widely, talking to a madwoman like Zhou Yuwei just doesn’t work, she kept her face indifferent, precisely to infuriate you, you hypocritical pure lotus.

"You’ve done nothing for Mo Junhua, yet he treasures you like a precious pearl, his eyes and heart full of only you. Whereas for him, I gave up a promising future just to stay where he could see me, yet he treated me with cold indifference. I chased after him to the battlefield, risked my life to save his, and silently took care of and protected him in the hospital for years. In the end, he still only had eyes for you, even though I loved him so much." Zhou Yuwei felt so aggrieved, truly aggrieved, it was all because of the woman sitting across from her.

Damn it, Lan Tian scoffed disdainfully, loving Mo Junhua while putting several green hats on his head, having children who weren’t even his, and still having the audacity to preach here about love. Loving Mo Junhua, please don’t desecrate the word ’love’.

The true love of a hypocritical pure lotus, please excuse me, a being like me cannot understand.

"Don’t paint yourself as so noble," Zhou Yuwei had kidnapped Chunhua, and Lan Tian wasn’t going to let her go, activating her sharp tongue without holding back, spewing venom, "You fell for Mo Junhua because you saw a bright future with him. By staying with him, you could live a life of glory and wealth."

Zhou Yuwei’s eyes flashed with a guilty and awkward look, furiously glaring at Lan Tian, a voice in the depth of her heart saying, Lan Tian was right, she indeed fell for Mo Junhua’s promising future, she denied vocally, "I didn’t, I simply wanted to love him."

Love my ass!

Lan Tian continued her words, "Yes, you love Mo Junhua, love him passionately, well aware that he has a wife, you disregarded societal views, shamelessly and unabashedly pursued him, but Mo Junhua didn’t spare you a glance. You love Mo Junhua, said to be inseparable in life and death, right after saving Mo Junhua, you slept with Chu Yang and then offered yourself up to Mo Junhuaagain, only to be cast aside by him. Your love is indeed unparalleled, the first of its kind in the cosmos."
