Chapter 380

"Holy crap... who's flying this B233 plane...?"

"Damn, I thought it was going to crash straight into the ground! This is a passenger plane! It's not some fighter jet!! Flying so recklessly, is it rushing to its death?!"

"The pilot is crazy, and the passengers are crazy too. If this goes wrong, it could result in a crash and everyone dying."

The staff at the parking garage stared palely at the passenger plane that was now safely parked on the runway.

This is insane! They've worked here for so many years and have never seen anything so dangerous.

Even if it's just a small private plane, it's still a passenger plane.

This was the first time they had ever seen someone fly a passenger plane like a fighter jet.

"But whose private jet is that? I don't remember seeing any information about this plane in the flight logs."

Suddenly realizing what was happening, the young man swiped his tablet blankly, unable to find any information about the aircraft in the system log.

Logically, the control tower should have a record of every private plane that lands here, so why is the system empty?

Could this be a private jet making its first trip to Yanghai City? Another wealthy businessman has suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

He doesn't understand the lives of the rich. If he could, he would love to take a ride on a private jet and be served attentively.

The cabin door slowly rose, and the first to step out were two women in suits.

Their blazers accentuated their curves, their dark sunglasses reflected the dim light of the airport, and their neat short hair and expressionless faces gave them a somewhat cold look.

These two women were probably similar to bodyguards, as they each had a weapon resembling a baton tucked into their waistbands.

"It's been five years, Yanghai City."

The girl who came out from behind took off her sunglasses and looked around at the night view in the distance.

Her long, silver-gray curly hair fell naturally to her waist, and her pink eyes were filled with a sense of nostalgia.

It has been almost five years since she left Yanghai City to pursue further studies abroad.

She had thought that returning here would feel unfamiliar, but she didn't feel that way at all.

Instead, she felt a sense of security, like being at home, and this familiar and reassuring feeling made her very comfortable.

"Miss, it's quite cold right now. You'd better put on a coat."

The handsome black-haired man following behind the girl draped his coat over her shoulders.

He pushed up his glasses and glanced around. Yanghai City...

"Thanks."

The girl tightened her coat around her shoulders; her entire body was clad in a snow-white long dress, the carved hem adorned with snow crystal patterns.

The skirt, billowing in the wind, was as white and dazzling as snowflakes, and a few strands of bright silver ribbons were tied around her tender, fair legs.

Her beautiful calves had no excess fat, and the soft, smooth skin even seemed to glow like moonlight.

Although she appears somewhat slender and thin due to the lack of some flesh, her perfect leg shape is dazzlingly beautiful.

"Miss, shall we go directly to your mother? Or perhaps..."

The man standing respectfully behind her leaned closer to the girl and asked her in a low voice.

He and the young lady should have immediately gone to the lady's side to let her know they were safe after getting off the plane.

But as the young lady had mentioned on the plane, she had other things to do before meeting the woman.

"Mr. Lan, what time is it now?"

The girl stretched out her small hand to press down her long hair, which was being blown around by the evening breeze, and gazed into the distance with a dreamy look.

My mom promised to come back last year, but it's been a whole year since then.

If it weren't for some academic reasons, she might have reunited with her mother long ago.

"Miss, it is 3:17 a. m. now."

The man, referred to as Mr. Lan, glanced at his watch and spoke in a low voice.

Both the lady and the man who had displeased the young lady should be asleep at this time.

"Is that so...?"

The girl was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and her eyes widened in surprise.

But she quickly returned to normal, murmuring softly.

"Mr. Lan, you didn't tell Mom that I'm back, right?"

The girl shook her head to clear her mind of distractions and turned to look at the young man behind her.

She doesn't want her mother to know yet that she has returned to Yanghai City and is back with him.

There were still some things to deal with, and she didn't want her mother to know where she was until those things were finished.

"No one knows that you have returned to Yanghai City, so please rest assured."

"I am Miss's housekeeper. Whatever Miss says goes. I will not do anything against Miss."

The man bowed respectfully to the girl and spoke.

Although his actions were somewhat inappropriate and he felt somewhat guilty for his wife's years of nurturing.

But now he is the young lady's steward, and since the young lady does not want him to report to the madam, he naturally will not say anything.

"Great, let's go then. Let's find a place to rest first, and then we'll think about what to do next."

"Although I really want to see what the man from five years ago looks like now, since it's already past midnight, I won't disturb him."

The girl took a deep breath of fresh air and then slowly spoke.

He waved to Lan behind him and then quickly ran down the stairs from the cabin to the ground.

The high heels clicked crisply on the steps, and the flowing skirt resembled snowflakes falling.

"Miss! Slow down!! Wait for me!!!"

"Please take your luggage first, and I will make arrangements for you later."

Lan was quite frightened by what she saw and quickly turned around to give instructions to the two people beside her.

After seeing that the girl had run halfway down, he rushed down after her. Miss, please be careful, what if you accidentally fall?

"Yanghai City, I'm back."

After the girl reached the ground, she murmured softly in a voice only she could hear.

Five years have passed. Is everything here alright?

Especially the man she was engaged to five years ago—had he fallen into depravity as she suspected?

Chapter Fourteen: Passerby A

The morning market is very lively, with all sorts of passersby coming here to buy vegetables and fruits.

When you arrive in the surrounding area, you may hear the vendors' calls even before you see the morning market.

"Hey! Hey buddy! Come check out my fish!! These are raised in my own pond! They're not Godzilla from Japan!!"

"If you buy more, I can give you a 20% discount! It's a steal, you won't lose money!!!"

"Hey handsome, come check out my vegetables! They were just picked this morning!!!"

"Fruit for sale! Fresh fruit! Don't miss it if you're passing by!"

The buzzing cries of vendors came from both sides of him. Luo Lan pushed up his glasses and smiled politely at the vendors who were beckoning to him, indicating that he didn't need them right now.

This was his first time returning to the morning market in five years. Although the market was relatively noisy, he didn't care. The lively atmosphere gave him a sense of nostalgia.

When I lived abroad with Miss before, we had someone else to buy food for us, and the morning markets overseas weren't this lively and bustling.

Vendors won't enthusiastically greet customers with loudspeakers, nor will they greet them with a smile and a "good morning."

While a structured and orderly shopping method improves efficiency, it loses the liveliness and vibrancy unique to bustling city centers, bringing more monotony and boredom.

This is one of the reasons why Luo Lan feels nostalgic. Before he accompanied Miss to study abroad, he often came to the morning market to shop for his wife and Miss.

"Miss just said she wanted fruit porridge and fried dough sticks..."

Luo Lan muttered to herself, glancing at the fruit stand not far away and smiling slightly.

Haha, Miss's breakfast combination is as strange as ever. Fruit porridge with fried dough sticks, only Miss could come up with such an odd combination.

Alright, let's not worry about whether this combination is weird or not. He should hurry up and buy the things the young lady asked for.

If he makes the young lady wait too long, then it would be a dereliction of duty on his part as the butler.

.

"Sir, I don't recognize this money. It can't be used in China."

The old woman held the gray banknote in her hand and spoke with a troubled expression.

This isn't domestic money, so even if you gave it to her, she couldn't use it.

Shouldn't foreigners exchange their money for RMB at a bank before using it? Did this guy forget about that?

"Feel sorry..."

Luo Lan, carrying the fruit, said with a hint of helplessness, "The young lady gave me the wrong wallet when I left."

This wallet is full of banknotes that haven't been exchanged yet; there isn't a single usable RMB note.

But all he has on him is this amount of cash. What should he do? Should he go back to the hotel to get more money?

No, he had to make breakfast for the young lady before 8:30. If he went back now, it would definitely be too late.

This is troublesome...

"Brother, it's not that I'm trying to make things difficult for you, but I really can't accept this money."

"Besides, I won't take this money to the bank to exchange it. I don't know anything about these things, so you see..."

The old woman scratched her head and slowly returned the money to the young man in front of her.

She couldn't accept the money. Although she wanted to help the young man, she was just a small-scale vendor...

"I'm so sorry, I won't take these fruits..."

"Let me scan the code for him. It would be a shame if such fresh fruit couldn't be sold."

Just as Luo Lan put down the fruit in her hand, intending to return it, a large hand holding a mobile phone suddenly reached out beside her.

With a ding-like notification sound, the small speaker next to the old woman announced that the payment had been successful.

"Okay!! Then you two should discuss it yourselves. Young people should be able to communicate quite well."

The old woman smiled slightly as she looked at the young men who had suddenly appeared. Oh my, these two young men are both incredibly handsome.

If my own daughter were here, she'd probably be completely smitten, haha, youth is truly wonderful!

"Excuse me, could you please leave your contact information? I'll need it later..."

"The fruit here is really good, you can buy some and try it first."

Wu Liang waved his hand, indicating that he did not want to linger here any longer.

He has no reason to give his contact information to strangers for just a few dozen yuan.

Moreover, the man in front of them was clearly no ordinary person; one could tell just from the wallet full of European banknotes and the expensive suit he was wearing.

He's the kind of person who avoids trouble whenever possible, and even if he helped the other person out of kindness, he didn't want to get involved with that man.

His inner instincts told him to stay away from this man; he sensed danger emanating from him.

Perhaps this is just his misperception, but it's always good to be cautious.
