Sweet Wife in My Arms Chapter 2507
Previously on Sweet Wife in My Arms...
Jealousy gripped her heart, and she was well aware of it.
Yan Huan's name remained forever out of her reach or imitation. That woman floated high like a cloud, while she groveled in the dirt. Despite her own pride, she could never match up to her. Yan Huan boasted not only stunning looks but a superior family heritage as well. Naturally, her academic achievements excelled too, with college entrance exam scores topping the charts.
Her success came purely from her own efforts, without leaning on family or parents.
All knew her impressive score on this college entrance exam. Yan Huan wasn't merely beautiful; her intelligence was sharp as well.
Fang Zhu bowed her head, setting Yan Huan's enrollment form aside. She'd collected the registration fee already. Still, she couldn't resist sneaking another look at the tall, striking man.
Right then, the man leaned down, speaking softly to the woman next to him while straightening the hat atop her head.
The woman's fingers clutched the man's hand, giving it a gentle shake.
University life.
Having an innocent boyfriend or girlfriend was utterly commonplace on campus. No matter Fang Zhu's traditional views, she couldn't jab a finger at the man's face and berate him. Such behavior would be utterly wrong.
She lacked the nerve to act that way, nor did she dare consider herself so superior.
Yan Huan saw no need for further talk with Fang Zhu. The matter didn't concern her, so indifference suited best. People each followed their own roads, crafting their own existences.
Life flowed as destined, not ruled by heaven's whim. She paved her path herself.
Yan Huan's college days proved luxuriously easygoing. She spent scant time attending classes, mostly requesting leaves. Hanging on till graduation worked fine, since these years marked her prime acting phase. Plenty of movies awaited her filming.
For instance, Lost Marriage, virtually her defining role. She seized it back to shoot anew.
This lifetime gifted her far greater fame and chances than before. Daily extra roles were history. Yi Ling trailed her faithfully everywhere. Over these years, Yi Ling advanced swiftly, carrying the air of a veteran.
Still, dodging that trash heap worried her.
Yet that seemed unlikely.
Connections between souls twisted in odd ways. Take Yi Ling and Lei Qingyi: wedded in her past life, total strangers now. From their initial encounter, mutual attraction bloomed—no clashes, no vicious spats drawing blood.
Through these years, they naturally paired up.
From that point, Yi Ling's mom fretted no longer. No man would shun the small-chested Yi Ling henceforth.
Lei’s mother relaxed too. Her gangly, dim-witted son wouldn't doom the Lei line to childlessness.
Truth be told, going heirless wasn't so straightforward.
In this manner, Yan Huan's three undergrad years slipped away. The Ye airport project advanced without hitches. The Su family, reeling from that strike—though their core survived—chose discretion, forsaking bold maneuvers against rivals.
Yes, everyone could savor calm, joyful days, couldn't they?
Hai City's regional growth echoed her prior life perfectly. Fresh districts sprouted alongside the Ye private airport. Funds amassed by Yan Huan and Lu Yi over recent years proved ample.
Thus, splendid skyscrapers rose across three years. They even claimed a cozy private hot spring villa. Modest in scale, it emerged because road repairs there uncovered a priceless geothermal vein. Local land values exploded upward. Perhaps it also enraged Su Qing near to bursting a vein.
But his fury and remorse changed naught.
That land once Su-owned now belonged to others.
Lu Yi carved out a plot for a compact resort villa tailored for Yan Huan's hot spring dips. Soon, the manager from her past life's luxury hotel approached, keen to acquire the site.
Lu Yi didn't outright sell off that land; instead, he leased it to the hotel. Regardless of the current selling price, any deal now would result in heavy losses. Thus, the title to that land remained firmly in Lu Yi's hands, while the usage rights were handed over to the star-rated hotel. The lease lasted an initial ten years, after which Lu Yi intended to sell it outright.
Naturally, that decision would hinge on future land values.
Though serving as a prosecutor, Lu Yi proved no fool in business dealings. How else could he have amassed such vast wealth in just a few brief years, securing the Ye family airport land ahead of Yan Huan?
By then, Yan Huan had skyrocketed to fame, commanding sky-high pay. Actors rake in big bucks anyway, let alone someone like her who dominated half the entertainment heavens.
Her income was bound to be enormous.
Yet, no matter her fortunes, Lu Yi ultimately outstripped them all.
Yan Huan paid no mind to such financial details. Her personal resort villa sufficed. And with a top-tier star-rated hotel nearby—one of Hai City's finest—it was a boon for direct dealings, surrounded by elite neighbors who amplified the land's prestige. Just imagine its true worth!
This year marked Yan Huan's university graduation at age twenty-four, mirroring her previous life. She had wed Lu Yi, who wasn't some hidden spouse, and she openly shared their marriage news without fearing fan backlash.
Her massive popularity went beyond mere beauty; it stemmed from superb acting chops and the hard-fought fame she'd built in the industry.
True admirers would rejoice for her, of course.
She'd united with her beloved at the height of her allure.
Above all, her subsequent roles exploded into hits one after another, pushing her stardom to near-unrivaled peaks.
Armed with wisdom from two lives, how could she possibly fail? The Ye family and Lu family had flawlessly sidestepped every looming disaster.
Lu Yi had pummeled Ye Xinyu so badly he couldn't stand. Escape was impossible unless he crawled out. Lu Jin skipped that overseas journey, dodging any quakes.
During the earthquake, Lu Jin stayed behind. Good thing diarrhea sent him to the hospital—otherwise, his life could've ended right there. Recalling the horrors, both he and Ye Shuyun broke into cold sweats, convinced this misfortune heralded boundless good fortune ahead.
