Chapter 355 The submissive wife changes the tides, turns Rebellious overnight!

"I want to cry..." Wu Xue whispered, her voice barely louder than a breeze as she rested her chin on her mahogany desk, her gaze lost in the sprawling cityscape beyond the window.

Ever since the Lin Group underwent a seismic transformation, changing its name and ownership, chaos had become the new norm.

Zhang Wei, thier new boss, had chosen the path of indifference, leaving Lin Ruoxi to wield the reins of power.

Lin Ruoxi, in turn, had unloaded her burdens onto Wu Xue, who felt like Atlas bearing the weight of the world on her shoulders.

The latest addition to their empire, Tianyi Entertainment, was Wu Xue\'s personal purgatory.

She often referred to it as "her boss\'s personal playground," a realm of endless fantasies, a heaven on earth for men!

To make matters worse, the new secretary, Lisa, tasked with cleaning up the company had conveniently vanished on vacation—with thier shared boss, no less.

Amid this chaos, Rose, the strategic mastermind of the group, was on the hunt for a new headquarters.

Pearl Towers, as grand as it was, could no longer contain the ever-expanding ambitions of the Long Feng Group.

Rose sought to establish a new base, a haven for innovation and integration, especially with the acquisition of the mineral extraction company.

The old headquarters groaned under the weight of impending change, and the air was electric with uncertainty as the destiny of the Long Feng Group started to consolidate.

Wu Xue\'s once-slouched posture suddenly snapped upright as her mind switched gears from contemplation to action.

She was tasked with orchestrating the daunting migration of all personnel from Pearl Towers to the new building and resolving the impending structural chaos in the company.

As she contemplated her lonely existence amidst the chaos, her phone screen seemed to taunt her with its silence. "Did they forget me... no call? Or are they ignoring me... I also want a vacation..." Wu Xue mused, her eyes weary and dark circles etched beneath them.

Just as her thoughts spiraled deeper into desolation, the grand doors to her office swung open. Wu Xue\'s heart raced, and she instinctively sat up straight, her gaze locked onto the unexpected intruder.

"Who is it...?" she inquired cautiously, her voice tinged with uncertainty as she attempted to decipher the stranger\'s identity.

A man dressed in a bright yellow construction site uniform stood before her, a sly grin playing on his lips. "You are...? Are you lost...?" Wu Xue inquired, her words laced with suspicion.

"Keke..." The man\'s eerie laughter sent shivers down her spine, and she knitted her brows in confusion, her hand inching toward the drawer where she kept a concealed gun, a safety measure in this cruel world.

Boom!

A deafening explosion shattered the tense atmosphere of Wu Xue\'s office. Before she could even react or reach for the concealed gun, the intruder moved with lightning speed. Something hard pressed against her neck, and then darkness claimed her as consciousness slipped away.

Faint flashes of memory danced in the abyss of her unconscious mind. She vaguely remembered being carried, her body ensconced within a dark trash bag. Her abductor was efficient, his movements fluid and precise.

Unbeknownst to Wu Xue, Zhang Wei had indeed stationed his people to keep an eye on her, but their vigilance was focused outside the building. They remained oblivious to the audacious kidnapping that had unfolded in broad daylight, leaving Wu Xue in the clutches of an unknown enemy.

In a different part of the city, Xie Meirong leaned in, her inquisitive gaze fixed on Chen Yulan as they sat on a weathered wooden bench beside a small skewer stall. The night air was filled with the enticing aroma of sizzling skewers.

"Isn\'t it not appropriate for you to roam outside at night like this?" Xie Meirong questioned, her concern evident in her voice.

Chen Yulan fell momentarily silent, her eyes carrying a hint of melancholy. "I\'m used to the night," she explained softly. "Back when our mother was alive and we needed money, we often ventured into the forest to collect herbs to sell. It would frequently become nightfall, but it was never too frightening, as long as we steered clear of certain streets."

Xie Meirong nodded in understanding. "Just be cautious if you ever find yourself in the cities. You don\'t know every street there."

Chen Yulan followed Xie Meirong\'s advice with a nod before casting a curious glance over her shoulder. "What\'s wrong with Sister Lei?" she asked.

Xie Meirong, "Your sister Lei is getting a taste of betrayal," she replied, a mischievous smile graced her face, but her amusement quickly turned to irritation as Yu Lei continued to ignore her presence.

"Betrayal?" Chen Yulan mumbled, her confusion evident. However, her words trailed off as she realized that Xie Meirong was also one of Zhang Wei\'s lovers. It didn\'t feel appropriate to discuss such matters in front of her.

Xie Meirong sighed, shaking her head. "Yes, she knew about his other lovers, but this is different."

Yu Lei, on the other hand, was lost in her own world. She traced aimless patterns in the wet sand as she crouched on the ground, her expression one of profound melancholy.

"He tricked me..." Yu Lei whispered, her voice filled with disappointment. She had thought she was embarking on a vacation with Zhang Wei, but at the last moment, he had changed the plans, leaving her stranded here alone.

"Why, husband," she murmured, her tone pouting, "have you started playing games with me too? Do I need to become more assertive..." Her eyes sparkled with determination as she suddenly rose to her feet, making a resolute declaration. "It\'s decided!"

"Huh?" Chen Yulan blinked in astonishment, while Xie Meirong\'s lips twitched, trying to suppress a laugh. "What has she decided now?" Xie Meirong wondered aloud.

"I have decided," Yu Lei proclaimed boldly, her voice carrying unwavering determination, "it\'s time for me to be a proper wife! Zhang Wei must be dissatisfied with my services!" Her words flowed without a trace of embarrassment, as if the gazes of others were inconsequential.

Unable to contain herself any longer, Xie Meirong burst into giggles, her hand covering her face. "Ehehe~ sorry, everyone," she chuckled between fits of laughter. "We have no idea who she is. Her husband seems to have abandoned her, and her mind seems to have taken a hit."

Chen Yulan, still bewildered, tried to make sense of the situation. "So, you\'re saying you want to improve your relationship with Cousin?"

Yu Lei nodded enthusiastically, her determination unwavering. "Exactly! I won\'t let him escape my love any longer!"

Xie Meirong finally composed herself, wiping away a tear of laughter. "Well, that\'s quite a bold strategy. But don\'t you think it\'s a bit unconventional?"

Yu Lei shrugged, completely unfazed, "Unconventional, uh-huh! I\'ve decided I\'m no longer going to be the obedient and submissive wife!"

\'Is she going to rebel....?\' Xie Meirong\'s lips twitched, her amusement undeniable. She shook her head, finding it hard to take Yu Lei\'s newfound rebellious spirit seriously. She chose to ignore her, allowing Yu Lei to bask in her newfound resolve.

Chen Yulan, on the other hand, pondered the implications of Yu Lei\'s declaration. She couldn\'t help but wonder how Zhang Wei would react to his wife\'s transformation once he returned. Yu Lei\'s determination left a strong impression on her, and she couldn\'t help but admire her newfound strength.
