Reborn in the 90s with a Space: Winning Back My Husband

”You...”

Chu Lingxiu knew, of course, that what she was doing was wrong. That was why she hadn’t dared to do anything brazen to Shen Nian and Lu Cheng.

And for that exact reason, she had deliberately called Shen Nian out, hoping to warn her off and make her back down.

But she never expected that Shen Nian—who had been so quiet at the Chu Family’s home—would suddenly become this assertive.

So assertive, in fact, that Chu Lingxiu felt a flicker of fear.

This version of Shen Nian seemed a bit like her grandfather, father, and brothers when they got angry. It sent a shiver down her spine.

”Don’t try to scare me! I haven’t done anything!”

”I’m just telling the truth. Besides, you should know perfectly well whether what I’m saying is true or not.”

”I’m done beating around the bush. Just tell me what it will take for you to leave Brother Lu Cheng.”

”And what if I said that I’ll never leave him, no matter what?”

Shen Nian was telling the truth. It wasn’t just a matter of a few threats from Chu Lingxiu; even if she faced the most difficult or dangerous situations, she would never leave Lu Cheng!

”You went through all that trouble to marry Brother Lu Cheng. What is it you’re really after? Money? A respectable job? I can give you all of that, as long as you leave him willingly!”

”What I’m after, of course, is Lu Cheng himself. Can you give me that?”

”You...”

Chu Lingxiu had considered that Shen Nian might make an exorbitant demand. After all, some people are just insatiably greedy.

She had even planned to tempt Shen Nian with a better offer if she hesitated. She’d already done her research; Shen Nian was just some girl who grew up in the countryside. She’d only gotten lucky marrying Lu Cheng, so how worldly could she be?

Perhaps, once tempted by the conditions she offered, the girl would forget everything else and eagerly agree to her demands.

However, Chu Lingxiu never imagined that Shen Nian would seem completely uninterested in everything she was promising. The only thing she seemed to be interested in was, truly, Lu Cheng himself.

’If that’s the case, can I still snatch Lu Cheng back from Shen Nian’s grasp?’

’Will I still be able to fulfill my promise to my friend? Can I still help my friend successfully marry Lu Cheng?’

’No, there has to be a way! I refuse to believe that Shen Nian’s devotion to Lu Cheng is truly unshakable. After all, they haven’t even been married that long. How deep could their feelings possibly be?’

She couldn’t bear for the plan she had been plotting for so long to end in complete failure today, leaving her friend disappointed and heartbroken.

”Just tell me, what will it take for you to leave Brother Lu Cheng’s side?”

Shen Nian looked at Chu Lingxiu. ’She still hasn’t given up! It seems the person who put her up to this is really important to her.’

”I’m curious. From what you’ve said, am I to understand that you have a friend who likes Lu Cheng, and that’s why you want to help her by getting me to leave him? Am I wrong?”

”You...”

Chu Lingxiu stared at Shen Nian, her eyes wide with astonishment. ’How did she guess so accurately?’

Seeing Chu Lingxiu’s reaction, Shen Nian knew she was more or less correct.

”Alright, I won’t ask who this person is. I just want to know, since she’s the one interested in Lu Cheng, why didn’t she approach him herself? Why have you come forward on her behalf? And what did she give you for it?”
