Chapter 1460 Returning as the Boss 19

A month after Lin Zichou left, Lanzhi came again. When she saw that Lin Zichou had not returned yet, her eyes were full of disappointment.

Su Yan didn't know how to comfort her.

"Come and have a cup of tea. This fruit tea is fragrant and sweet, and is perfect for the rainy season."

Lanzhi drank fruit tea, but there was an indelible bitterness in her eyes.

"When will Mr. Lin be back?" Lanzhi couldn't help but ask Su Yan.

Su Yan didn't know when Lin Zichou would come back, but there was continuous rain in the Wei River area, so he shouldn't come back so soon.

"I don't know either. Do you have something urgent to ask him?"

Lanzhi smiled perfunctorily and said she was just asking, but everyone could see the disappointment in her eyes.

999: "I know, someone wanted to take her as a concubine, but she didn't want to. The other party was very rich and she couldn't afford to offend him."

999 was puzzled again: "But why did she decide that Lin Zichou could afford to offend him?"

Su Yan: "Lin Zichou has Prince Jing behind him, not to mention that Lin Zichou saved her life. She can tell others that she loves Lin Zichou and is willing to repay him with her body."

999: "What a pity, Lin Zichou doesn't like such a beauty."

Su Yan: "When it comes to relationships, don't feel sorry for the person involved. You are not him, so how can you know what he is thinking?"

Su Yan invited Lanzhi to have tea, but never mentioned Lin Zichou on her own initiative. She never thought of matchmaking anyone and never interfered in other people's feelings.

Lanzhi drank tea and hesitated several times. Before leaving, she finally couldn't help but said to Su Yan: "Su Yan, can you help me?"

Su Yan asked calmly: "How do you want me to help you?"

Lanzhi said bitterly: "Can you pretend to redeem me on behalf of Mr. Lin? I have my own money, so you don't need to pay a penny. I don't want to stay in Tianxiang Tower anymore. If there is no suitable reason, my mother will not let me leave."

"Pretend? How?"

Lanzhi hurriedly explained: "You redeemed me in the name of Master Lin. After I leave Tianxiang Tower, I will not pester Master Lin, and I don't need you to take care of me. I just want to borrow Master Lin's reputation to get away."

Su Yan: "How can you guarantee that?"

Lanzhi: "I know I am not worthy of Master Lin, and I have never expected to be favored by him. But I have had enough of the days without freedom in Tianxiang Tower. I don't want to sell my smiles anymore. I want to live a simple and ordinary life, even if it's just plain food. Once I redeem myself, I can leave here."

Su Yan saw that what she said was sincere, but still shook his head.

Lanzhi thought she was unwilling, so she begged, "You are the only one I can ask for help. I won't make things difficult for you. I just want you to redeem me. I will pay for it myself. Isn't that possible?"

Su Yan smiled and said, "I'm not rejecting you. What I mean is, if you want me to redeem you, why do you need to borrow Lin Zichou's name? I can redeem you at any time. But I want to tell you that when you leave Tianxiang Tower, life outside is not as simple as you think. You are beautiful and you are easily coveted wherever you go. Although you have gained freedom, you have also lost protection. You must think clearly."

Lanzhi was somewhat relieved when she heard Su Yan say that he was willing to redeem her, but when she heard her say that being outside might not be safer than being in Tianxiang Tower, she became confused again.

What could she do? She didn't want to marry someone as a concubine, but the man she wanted to marry was not worthy of her.

Even if she became a slave, Master Lin might not want her. What should she do?

If she doesn't leave, she will be forced to become a concubine.

Seeing her in a dilemma, Su Yan said, "Why don't you go back and think about it for a day. If you really want to leave Tianxiang Tower, come to me tomorrow at this time. I promise to redeem you."

Lanzhi nodded and left with a heavy heart.

999: "Even if she is redeemed, it will be difficult for such a beautiful weak woman to live in this world in the future."

Su Yan: "Yes, that's why I want her to think it over carefully. Saving someone temporarily won't save them forever."

999: "What should we do then?"

Su Yan: "When the time comes, everything will work out. Let's see what she chooses."

At the same time the next day, Lanzhi arrived on time.

Seeing this, Su Yan felt more admiration. At this time, few women had such courage to move forward.

"I've thought it through. I want to leave Tianxiang Tower. Please help me." Lanzhi said solemnly.

"Have you figured out what to do next, or where to go?"

"No......"

Su Yan sighed and said, "I have a friend who is now a famous swordsmith. He is in need of a manager. Do you want to go to him?"

Lan Zhi was overjoyed when she heard this and said, "Could the friend you are talking about be Master Zhang Jin, the world's number one swordsmith?"

Su Yan: "Exactly. So he is already so famous?"

Lanzhi: "Everyone who comes to our place knows him. I would love to have him, but can I be the chief steward?"

Su Yan: "You are definitely capable of being his manager. Just arrange his food, clothing, housing and transportation. Now that you have nowhere to stay, you can stay with him temporarily. When you have other plans in the future, or meet someone you really like, it won't be too late to leave."

Lanzhi suddenly felt her nose sore and tears welled up in her eyes. She bowed to Su Yan in gratitude.

"You don't have to do this."

"No, you don't understand how precious your love is to me. Su Yan, I am really grateful to you. If you can use me in the future, I will do anything for you, even if it means risking my life."

"You're being polite. I haven't even redeemed you yet, so don't be in such a hurry to thank me."

"I am already very grateful that you have this heart."

Lanzhi also brought with her private savings over the years, which added up to a total of five thousand taels. At this moment, she handed it all to Su Yan without any worries.

Su Yan also joked: "Aren't you afraid that I will abscond with the money?"

Lanzhi was now relieved of her worries and was in a mood to joke. She said with a smile, "If you abscond with the money, this paradise will be a bargain for me."

"Hahaha, you're quite open-minded."

999 also laughed and said, "She has no idea that you can still escape with Peach Blossom Land."

Su Yan: "Then why don't we abscond with the money? I have never done such a thing."

999: "No, how can you cheat people out of their hard-earned money?"

Su Yan: "Haha, I just said it casually."

999: "You are a really bad person sometimes. You just like to play tricks on others."

Su Yan: "I thought you were used to it."

999: "I'm not used to it. I'll never get used to it. Can you please stop teasing me?"

Su Yan: "It depends on the situation."

999: "I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't..."

Su Yan: "Shut up, when did you learn to chant scriptures?"

999: "Humph, anyway, you are not allowed to tease me."
