Turnaround Life: The Rebirth Elegy of the Wealthy Wife

"You're awake! Why were you hiding in the box? No wonder I couldn't find you for such a long time..."

When Tang Wenwan opened her eyes again, she was facing an enlarged little face with baby fat.

A little girl of about twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a white Japanese Taoist robe, was staring at her with big eyes and pulling her.

"Where am I wearing this again?"

Tang Wenwan, who was still not fully awake, felt even heavier in the head. She shook her head vigorously, looked at the little girl in confusion, and didn't dare to answer.

"Master asked me to pick you up, saying that you would go back to Japan with me tonight. I waited all night but couldn't see you. Fortunately, I was smart and finally found you in this box."

Seeing that Tang Wenwan didn't reply with a confused look on her face, the little girl started chattering again, her voice soft with a Japanese accent. She knelt beside the box with a harmless look on her face, staring at Tang Wenwan, so happy that she was almost wagging her tail like a puppy.

"Master? What era is this? Where am I? Who am I?"

Tang Wenwan was completely confused. She quickly tried to find out what was going on around her, until she looked down and realized that she was still wearing the white dress she had worn to the dinner party that night. Only then did she feel a little relieved.

At the same time, Zhang Lingyue’s art gallery was almost overturned by Jiang Kaichen.

"Are you almost done? That girl isn't at home. She must have been tricked by that little bastard Zhang Xincheng to go out and eat melons again. If you see her, can you please bring her back for me?"

When Jiang Kaichen received Tang Wensong's call, he was almost out of the museum. The slightly irritated voice on the other end of the phone made him raise his eyebrows and stop at the door.

"Mr. Jiang... are you willing to stay?" Zhang Lingyue, who was seeing someone off, stopped somewhat unexpectedly. She leaned slightly sideways in the moonlight, slowed down her voice, and tried not to make her excitement too obvious.

"Where is Zhang Xincheng?" Unexpectedly, the man frowned and looked at her for only a second, but the question he asked was full of accusation.

"Xincheng?" Zhang Lingyue, who was about to make an additional move, was stunned by the question. "I don't think I saw him much tonight." He rolled his eyes and answered carefully.

"So, you haven't met Tang Wenwan either?" Jiang Kaichen's eyebrows had begun to knot, and the aura around him began to brew with dissatisfaction.

"Ah... Is Tang Wenwan here?" Zhang Lingyue was even more confused by the question this time. She had a bad feeling in her heart that started from the soles of her feet and spread to the top of her head.

Jiang Kaichen looked back at Wang Feng, and Wang Feng understood what he meant and ran away in a hurry. When he turned around again, Cui Bing's inquiring eyes made Zhang Lingyue shudder and he crossed his arms involuntarily.

"Mr. Jiang, we checked the surveillance footage. Miss Tang did come here, but we haven't seen any footage since she was taken in by Zhang Xincheng at the gate." Wang Feng came back to report after a while.

With a "whoosh", Jiang Kaichen quickly turned around and headed back to the art gallery. He quickly began to search around while instructing Wang Feng behind him.

"Call up all blind spot surveillance, block all entrances and exits, and call all personnel from both sides to search for the person."

When Jiang Kaichen recited all the instructions with veins bulging, Wang Feng felt his legs were a little shaky when he received the order to go out. He had followed Jiang Kaichen for five years, and he had never seen a situation so serious that even the secret agents had to be assembled at the same time.

The art gallery was not big. When Jiang Kaichen searched inside and outside but found nothing, Zhang Lingyue, who had been following him, had run so far with her hair disheveled, and her image and mood were both in tatters.

"Last time, because you were obedient, I gave your brother a chance to live..."

An upset Jiang Kaichen punched the Matisse painting hanging on the main wall, and the canvas was torn. Blood stained the picture red, highlighting the man's rage that seemed to set the entire venue on fire.

Zhang Lingyue swallowed, took a look at her museum's treasure, and answered tremblingly.

"I... I really haven't seen Tang Wenwan... I listened to you all night and arranged things for Hua and Zhu Xin, and I didn't notice when Xincheng disappeared."

Beads of cold sweat rolled down her pale face, quickly ruining her makeup.

"Listen to me?" Jiang Kaichen approached step by step, and a creepy sneer appeared on his already cold face.

Just when Zhang Lingyue closed her eyes in despair, thinking that she would end up like the painting, the sound of footsteps outside the door broke the silence like a life-saving call.

"Mr. Jiang, the secret agents found out that Zhang Xincheng is now at the dock." Wang Feng came in to report.

Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, Jiang Kaichen stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhang Lingyue. He said two words, "Take her with you", and strode out the door.

When Jiang Kaichen saw Zhang Xincheng at the dock, he was pale and soaked, obviously having just experienced a fierce chase.

"Xincheng, what are you doing?" Zhang Lingyue was surprised to see her brother appear in front of the ship she arranged to send Zhu Xin to Japan, and shouted anxiously.

"Sister, I want to go to Japan too." When Zhang Xincheng heard his sister's voice, the panic in his heart subsided a little, and he looked at Zhang Lingyue with a bit of apology.

"Where is Tang Wenwan?" Before Zhang Lingyue could ask the second question, Jiang Kaichen's voice could no longer help but break through the air.

This time, Zhang Xincheng did not rush to answer. He took another step back, adjusted his breathing, looked up at Jiang Kaichen's eyes and said, "Wen Wan wants to go to Japan with me."

In addition to the salty smell of the sea, the air was already filled with the smell of blood. The wound from smashing the painting just now was split open by the man's fist again, and blood was dripping down.

"Where is she?" He asked almost through gritting his teeth.

This time, Zhang Xincheng calmed down. He leaned forward slightly and said, "She was afraid that you would not agree to her going with me, so she didn't want to see you."

"Where is she?" Jiang Kaichen asked again with red eyes, as if he didn't hear his answer, and he moved forward a step, as if a volcano was about to erupt.

"Xincheng..." Zhang Lingyue, who had been trembling, had deeply felt that things were out of control. She looked at her brother with fear in her eyes, as if she was witnessing him being shattered into pieces by Jiang Kaichen's rage.

"Search!" Jiang Kaichen's patience was indeed limited.

"Do you want to listen to this first?" Just as Jiang Kaichen passed by Zhang Xincheng, a recorder appeared in front of him.

"Although she is only 18 years old, she is almost an adult. I think you should respect her choice so that she can be truly happy." After successfully seeing Jiang Kaichen stop, Zhang Xincheng followed up with another sentence. Then, in the temporary silence of everyone, he turned on the recorder.

"Xincheng, can you take me away?"

"Xincheng, when can we go together?"

"Xincheng, can you take me to Japan? Only with you can I be truly happy..."

Tang Wenwan's voice in the recorder was urgent and real. Jiang Kaichen stumbled and almost fell into the sea.

The air seemed to freeze all of a sudden. Jiang Kaichen looked at the recorder in Zhang Xincheng's hand in disbelief, and stood there in a daze as if someone had pressed acupoints on him.

A thought suddenly popped up in his mind. He had just returned to South City and secretly went to see Tang Wenwan. What he saw was her and Zhang Xincheng walking out of the school, looking relaxed and comfortable.

On that summer afternoon, he saw the little girl grow up, and also witnessed in that sunshine how the brightness in her heart made her own self look even darker and more unbearable.

"Is she really leaving?" Jiang Kaichen asked again like a deflated ball, this time not daring to look at Zhang Xincheng.

"Well, she said she would let you know she was safe when she arrived, and asked you not to stop her." Zhang Xincheng seemed to have regained all his courage, and said with his chest puffed out.

Jiang Kaichen's eyes went dark, and he felt that the black sea in front of him was like a monster, mocking his wishful thinking with the sound of lapping against the shore.
