After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady-Chapter 768 - 323: Have a girlfriend? Don’t mind one more, right? (6k for subscription!)_3
Zhu Xianglan's smile faltered, her eyes revealing a complex mix of emotions.
"Second Sister, I was naive before, but I'm not stupid. After everything I've been through, even if I am still naive, I can see that you really care about me. Yet, you insist on making me hate you. In reality, it's to make everyone believe that we sisters don't get along, so they would entrust you with a lot of things confidently... Is everything you've done really for my sake?"
Yu Lan spoke slowly, but her hand that held the coffee was trembling slightly.
After she figured all this out, she felt very sad.
They were sisters, yet because of the family's affairs, they had no choice but to behave like enemies.
There was a hint of bitterness in Zhu Xianglan's eyes, but more than that, relief: "Yu Lan, you've grown up..."
Zhu Xianglan looked up and sighed, "I had no choice. After our mother and eldest sister left, I knew there was no one in this family who truly cared about us. To survive, we had to blend in with them. I could do it, but you couldn't. I promised our mother and eldest sister I would take good care of you."

Zhu Xianglan's words made Yu Lan's eyes redden. After so long, they could finally speak their truths, yet the harsh reality for the first time made Yu Lan, who once thought she was above everyone else, suffer greatly.
"What if, in the future, you fall out with the family, and I don't understand you, then you'll truly be all alone. Is it worth it?"
The second sister followed the family's arrangements, married someone she didn't like, took over the most exhausting and difficult business in the family, and even had to pretend to be an enemy to her own sister. She had lost everything.
And if the family and the Huangs found out that Zhu Xianglan had been scheming against their two major families all this time, she probably wouldn't have a place to stand in Huhai ever again.
"For Zhu Xianglan, certainly not worth it, but for the identity of the Second Sister, it's very worth it. Who let you be my sister?"
Zhu Xianglan smiled warmly, just like the older sister who used to dote on her younger sister when they were little.
Yu Lan's tears fell drop by drop, and Zhu Xianglan gently wiped her cheeks with a tissue: "Why are you crying? At least up to now, everything is still under control, and you've grown up. The life you've been living these days will benefit you for a lifetime."
In these days, Yu Lan could be said to have undergone a complete transformation. A once high-and-mighty princess of the wealthy Huangs of Huhai, reduced to an employee at a bubble tea store. She used to drive Ferraris at high speeds, and now she could only ride out on a Ya Di electric scooter, even feeling happy for a long time if she could save a few bucks on lunch.
She also learned how to view problems from an employee's perspective and how to fundamentally maintain the well-being of a company and its employees.
More importantly, she made a group of good friends, friends who were unrelated to interests and connections, who were only based on pure feelings.
These would be the most precious treasures for the rest of her life.
"But I still feel guilty... It's fine this time, but what if something really happens..."
Yu Lan sobbed quietly, although Xu Musen had always said it wasn't her fault, she still felt very guilty in her heart.
She was also afraid, what if she and Xu Musen ended up becoming sworn enemies...
Zhu Xianglan gently stroked her head: "Silly sister, it's come to this point, and not having a major disaster is a blessing. This matter is my fault, not theirs."
During this time, Yu Lan had been working very hard, sleeping only five to six hours a day, just trying to help as much as she could, using work to numb herself so as not to feel so sad.
"And the Huang Family has already paid the price."
Zhu Xianglan took out a document from her bag and handed it to her: "Take a look, this is what your sister prepared for you."
Yu Lan wiped the corners of her eyes, took the document, and was startled upon opening it, "Auntie of Shanghai bubble tea franchise agreement..."
Zhu Xianglan took a sip of her black tea and began speaking, "After what happened this time, the Huang Family has been hit hard by public opinion, and the Public Security Bureau's safety bureau even set up a special team to investigate the Huang Family's accounts. Many of their import and export ports have also been blocked a few times, causing major upheavals in the Huang Family's stock prices.
The woman from Yao Group is ruthless, taking advantage of the situation to swallow up many of the Huang Family's resources. The funny thing is, the Huang Family can't say anything about it openly. The death of a son wasn't the end of the world, but this time the Huang Family really did bleed profusely, and it will be hard for them to make any significant come back within the next ten years."
As she spoke, she pointed to the contract in Yu Lan's hands, "Before Huang Tianming thought about framing Xu Musen, he had acquired five or six bubble tea shops in prime locations. He just didn't get the chance to push forward before he died, and since the Huang Family can't deal with these resources, I took them back at a low price."
"No, I can't take these..."
Yu Lan already knew what her sister had planned, and she immediately shook her head.
Now, to top-spec a franchise of Auntie of Shanghai bubble tea shop costs six to seven hundred thousand, which is an outlay of several million. Although it's not much for Zhu Xianglan...
But Yu Lan didn't want to continue to depend on her sister. She knew how much her sister had to humble herself to obtain what she had.
"Your sister knows you want to make amends to him, but just being a waitress in the store isn't enough. I've already applied for all these bubble tea shops to join the Auntie of Shanghai franchise. From now on, you will be the owner of these bubble tea shops. With your own capabilities, you can help him more in the future and keep up with his pace."
