Chapter 102: Ling Lan’s provocation

Translator: 549690339

Sitting in mo Fei’s car, an ran looked at the passing scenery outside. Along the way, the two of them hardly spoke. Mo Fei turned to look at her a few times, wanting to say something, but he didn’t in the end.

At the traffic light, the car slowly came to a stop. When he turned to look at her again, she was still in her original position. Her eyes were looking outside as if there was a beautiful scenery outside that she couldn’t miss.

This time, mo Fei finally said, ” &Quot; I’ve heard about Chengxiang and Lin Li’s matter. Although I don’t know the ins and outs of this matter, I feel that I should give Chengxiang a chance after seeing his expression just now. After all, he knows that he’s in the wrong and knows that the one he loves is Lin Li. &Quot;

Anran suddenly turned her head and asked him in a daze, ” &Quot; if he’s wrong now, we should forgive him. What about the hurt he caused Lin Li before?! &Quot; Could it be that Lin Li deserves to be so cheap?” Speaking of Lin Li’s question, Anran couldn’t help but feel a little excited.

She felt that Lin Li wasn’t worth it. She had loved a person for 10 years, but how many 10 years could a woman have? Almost from the moment Lin Li knew how to love, she had loved this man with all her heart, but he had always treated her as a substitute. His good treatment of her was only to use her to commemorate another woman. He had never responded to her equal love, and in the end, he didn’t even keep the child. Could it be that all he needed to do to hurt her was to say ‘I was wrong, the person I love is you’? Could it be redeemed? Could this relationship really be salvaged? She didn’t have an answer, and no one had an answer, so she wouldn’t take the risk to try, because she didn’t want Lin Li to get hurt again!

Mo Fei looked at her and said,”Lin Li has loved Chengxiang for 10 years. Can she really let go of this relationship?” Maybe she still loves Chengxiang, and is just waiting for him to turn back.”

“Ha.” Anran sneered. Seeing this, he said with some disdain, ” &Quot; why are you men always so self-righteous and self-righteous? why do you think that everything else has to wait for you to turn back? have you ever thought about how much harm your selfishness has caused them and whether that wound can be healed? ”

Mo Fei was stunned and looked at her for a long time, unable to answer.

“Pa pa!”

Suddenly, there was an urgent honking sound behind him. Mo Fei snapped back to his senses and looked up. The red light had passed and the car in front had already driven away. Under the constant honking, mo Fei quickly started the car and drove away.

When they arrived at the construction site, Anran opened the door and was about to get out of the car, but the moment Anran was about to open the door, mo Fei automatically locked it.

Anran turned her head to look at him in a daze, not quite understanding what he meant.

“We’ve arrived!” An ran reminded him with a frown.

......

Mo Fei looked straight ahead, and after a while, a self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips. He opened his mouth and asked, ” “Is the current Chengxiang the same as I was back then?”

Anran looked at him and asked in amusement, ” “Do you think there’s any point in us talking about this now?”

Looking at her, mo Fei said guiltily, ” “I’m sorry for hurting you so deeply back then!”

” The past is meaningless to me, and I’ve forgotten all the unpleasant things. I’m fine now, so please don’t mention these things in front of me again, because there’s no need to. ” An ran said indifferently.

Mo Fei smiled bitterly and looked down at the steering wheel. After a while, he said in a low voice, ” “In two months, I will divorce Tong Xiaojie.”

Anran looked ahead indifferently. Whether he divorced or remarried had nothing to do with her, and she was not interested in these things.

” After I met you last time, I found out that you didn’t receive any of the letters I sent you in America. When I went back and asked, I found out that Tong Xiaojie had blocked all of those letters. Ha, I always thought that you were still angry about what happened back then, so you never called or replied. I didn’t expect it to be like this. ”

An ran frowned and felt a little disgusted. What was he trying to do by saying this now? She turned to look at him and said, ” &Quot; I don’t care. Whether or not those letters reach my hands, our ending will be the same. From the moment you turned around and left, we were destined to have this ending. &Quot;

Mo Fei stared at her for a while before turning around with a bitter smile.

An ran sighed in her heart and said helplessly, ” “Open the door, I’ll show you around. I still have to go back to the company.”

This time, mo Fei didn’t say anything more. He just nodded and opened the door. An ran didn’t stay in the car for a second. The moment she unlocked the door, she opened it and got out.

When she returned to the company from the sample room, it was almost time to get off work. Mo Fei offered to send her back, but she refused. When she left the construction site, a taxi passed by, so she hailed a taxi and got in.

After returning to the office, she had just sat down when someone knocked on the door. As she sat down, Anran happened to drop a document on the floor, so she bent down to pick it up. Without looking at who had come in, she directly shouted, ” “Come in.”

The door was pushed open, and Anran heard the sound of high heels clicking on the floor. It was obvious that it was a woman.

When Anran picked up the scattered documents on the ground and sat back down, she looked up and was stunned. She didn’t expect Ling LAN to be the one who came in!

Ling LAN seemed to have lost a lot of weight compared to the last time he saw her. She looked a little Haggard. Today, she was wearing a white dress, which made her pale little face look even paler.

Ling LAN smiled calmly at an ran. Her smile had a sickly beauty to it.

“Can I sit down?” Ling LAN asked in a soft voice.

Anran only came back to her senses after a while. She looked at her and nodded. &Quot; sit. &Quot;

Ling LAN smiled and sat down in front of Anran. She looked at Anran and said, ” “A few days ago, on ah Zhen’s birthday, I lost my composure. It was all thanks to ah Zhen that I was sent to the hospital.”

&Quot; miss Ling? ” an ran’s lips twitched. &Quot; is miss Ling feeling better? ”

“Thank you for your concern. I’m much better.” Ling LAN nodded and replied in her usual soft and gentle tone. She stretched out her hand to show the wound on her hand. At this moment, the wound was still so hideous that it was a little scary. It was a little scary. &Quot; after this, ” Ling LAN continued, ” I finally dare to face my feelings for ah Luo. &Quot; As he spoke, he looked up at an ran with a faint smile on his lips.

Anran looked back at him. After a while, she said faintly, ” really? ”

“I once thought of giving up and sincerely wished you all the best. After all, I was the one who made the mistake back then. All these years in the United States, I have never regretted making such a fatal mistake. I used seven years to punish myself for the mistake I made. Even though I couldn’t bear to think about him, I still didn’t have the courage to come back and look for him. I knew, I knew that it was impossible that he wouldn’t mind.” Ling LAN said.

Anran didn’t say anything and just looked at her. Her expression didn’t change much.

Ling LAN continued, ” but I still can’t forget him. That desire forced me to come back, even if I knew that he still couldn’t forgive me completely. Even if he really didn’t love me anymore. As long as he let me stay by his side and watch him quietly, nothing else mattered. That’s why when I saw you guys, I sincerely wished you all the best.”

“Should I say thank you?” An ran asked, no smile on her face.

Ling LAN smiled and shook her head. &Quot; I’m just saying that I used to think that way. But now ... &Quot; she said. Ling LAN paused for a moment before saying, ” “I realized that I couldn’t do it at all. I couldn’t lie to myself and say those words of blessing to the two of you against my heart. Seeing you and ah Luo together, I was always so jealous that I wanted to go crazy. I was always thinking about how ah Luo and I would be like now if that accident hadn’t happened. If it wasn’t for the accident back then, perhaps we would have gotten married a long time ago, and perhaps we would have even had a child. Ah Zhen will definitely be a good father and a good husband. We’ll be very happy and blissful.” Ling LAN said. She seemed to be lost in her own imagination, unable to get out of it.

“But there’s no” if,”is there?” Anran said directly. Her tone was calm, but it was enough to break her imagination. &Quot; just like there’s no medicine for regret in this world, how can you say ‘if’ for something that has already happened? ”

Ling LAN looked at her, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed across her eyes. However, she quickly concealed it and clenched her fists tightly. She looked at her and tried her best to keep a smile on her face.”There’s indeed no” if.”That’s why you’re standing between me and ah Luo.”

&Quot; even if I’m not here, there will be someone else. The problem between you and Yicheng isn’t about me, ” Anran said bluntly.

Ling LAN didn’t say anything for a long time. She looked at her for a long time before suddenly smiling and saying, ” “Whether it’s you or someone else, none of this is important.” Then, he looked at the hideous scar on his wrist and said, ” “I can’t let go of ah Luo at all, and I can’t watch him be with another woman. Any kind of blessing goes against my heart, and I can’t say it. In this case, I’ve decided to face my heart and prepare to snatch him back from another woman. No matter who it is, I’m confident that as long as it’s something I want to do, I can do it.”

He looked straight at an ran with a faint provocative smile.

The two of them stared at each other for a while before Anran asked, ” miss Ling, did you come to find me today to issue a challenge? ”

Ling LAN raised an eyebrow and shrugged. &Quot; “If you think so, it’s fine.”

After looking at her for a while, Anran nodded and calmly said, ” &Quot; I understand, but I don’t think there’s any point in you doing this. &Quot; Although she hadn’t been married to su Yicheng for long, and the two didn’t know much about each other, she didn’t think that su Yicheng was the kind of person who would drag things out about the past. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so heartless to miss Ling.

“I’m the one who decides whether it’s meaningful or not.” After saying that, Ling LAN stood up. &Quot; that’s all I have to say. I hope you can remember what I said today. &Quot;

An ran looked at her without saying anything, nodding or shaking her head.

A disdainful smile appeared on Ling Lan’s face. She turned around and left Anran’s office.

Anran stared blankly at the office door, which had been opened and then closed again, for a long time before she snapped back to her senses. She picked up the drawing on her desk and was about to modify and perfect it again when she remembered that when she had given the drawing to Huang Dexing, he had left the drawing in his office because of mo Fei. He hadn’t given her a reply on the drawing, and he hadn’t even told her if it was feasible or not.

With that in mind, Anran got up and prepared to head to Huang Dexing’s office again.

Huang Dexing’s office and her office were located on the left and right sides of Zhang Ju’s office, and in the middle was the main office lobby. So, when Anran got up and walked towards Huang Dexing’s office, she had to pass by the entire office lobby. Ling LAN wasn’t an employee of the company, so she wasn’t as busy as them. Seeing Anran walk past the lobby, she even smiled at her meaningfully.

Anran ignored him and went straight to Huang Dexing’s office. She knocked on the door, and only pushed the door open when she heard Huang Dexing call for her to enter.

To her surprise, the so-called guest hadn’t left yet. His back was facing the door, so an ran couldn’t see his face clearly.

She had no intention of knowing who he was. Anyway, she knew nothing about the operations of Yun company and did not want to care too much.

&Quot; director, Wanwan, the design I brought over earlier. &Quot; before Anran could finish speaking, the man with his back to Anran turned around and looked at her. He raised his eyebrows in surprise.

An ran was also a little surprised. &Quot; Zhou han! &Quot; She didn’t expect that man to be Zhou han!

Huang Dexing looked at Zhou han in surprise, then at an ran, and said, ” “Anran, you, you know director Zhou?”

Anran nodded in a daze and only said, ” “Yes, we’ve, we’ve met a few times.”

“What a coincidence, you work here?” Zhou han said indifferently. His tone was still calm.

“Yes.” Anran nodded and gave him a faint smile. She didn’t say much, but turned to Huang Dexing and said, ” &Quot; director, have you seen the design that I brought over earlier? are there any problems? ”

“Oh, I’ve seen it.” Huang Dexing nodded and handed her the document he had just placed on the table. &Quot; &Quot; you’ll be fully in charge of this matter. As for the design plan, if you think it’s better this way, you can change it according to your ideas. You’ll be in charge of everything. You don’t have to ask me. &Quot;

Anran nodded and took it, then nodded at Zhou han with a faint smile. She took the design and left the office.

After Anran finished all her work for the day, she sent su Yicheng a text message before she got off work. She asked him what he wanted to eat today, and she would cook for him that night. She would go to the supermarket after work and cook for him according to the recipe at night.

Although he was a little dissatisfied with Anran’s cooking skills and didn’t even dare to have high expectations, after hearing her say this, su Yicheng decided to give her face and agree to it in order not to dampen her enthusiasm. Then, he casually mentioned a relatively simple dish and told her that he had some work to do tonight and would be back home in about half an hour.

Anran quickly sent an OK gesture to show that she didn’t mind. In fact, she still had to learn and study how to make this dish. There was still a lot of preparation work to do.

Today seemed to be a day of constant accidental encounters. When she rushed out with her briefcase to wait for the elevator, she realized that there was already someone waiting by the elevator. He had a tall and straight figure and was wearing a well-tailored, handmade suit. It was obvious that he was of excellent quality. He was even holding a briefcase in his hand. When he saw her coming over, he nodded slightly without a smile, just like his usual expression.

Anran stood beside him and smiled at him. &Quot; what a coincidence. Do you work with our company too? ”

Zhou han looked at her indifferently and turned his head to look at the number jumping above the elevator. He only said, ” I plan to cooperate, but your director Huang doesn’t have that intention. &Quot;

Anran didn’t comment on this. She didn’t know what conditions and opportunities were needed for the cooperation between the two companies, but these weren’t things that she had to worry about. She was just a small designer, and all she had to do was to draw the design drawings more perfectly. The decision making was the business of the company’s higher-ups.

The two of them stood there in silence for a while. Then Anran said with some emotion, ” &Quot; Jiang city is so small. It seems like there are only a few industries. I didn’t expect you to be in the construction industry. &Quot;

Zhou Han’s lips twitched slightly. &Quot; it’s not big. &Quot;

The elevator arrived with a ding, and the door opened. There was no one inside. Zhou han gentlemanly let Anran go in first, and he went in after Anran. She reached out and was about to close the elevator door when suddenly, the sound of two high heels clicking on the floor came from outside. Then, a soft voice came from outside.

“Wait a moment.”

Zhou han didn’t pay attention to whether the sound was special or familiar. He raised his hand and directly held the elevator’s key, making the elevator door that was about to close open again.

There seemed to be two or more people, and their footsteps were a little messy.

When the two people came out of the corner, Anran saw their faces clearly. However, there were too many coincidences today. The two people were none other than the two sisters, Ling LAN and Ling Lin.

Anran subconsciously turned her head to look at Zhou han and saw that she was a little stiff as she pressed the elevator button. Although her expression remained the same, he could clearly see the shock and astonishment in his eyes.

Ling LAN naturally saw Anran and Zhou han in the elevator as well. Her originally faint smile suddenly froze. Her footsteps, along with her expression, slowly froze. She stopped and couldn’t take another step.

“Han, Brother Han.” Ling Lin, who was at the side, was also very surprised to see Zhou han. Then, she looked at her sister with some worry.

After recovering from his shock, Zhou han didn’t let himself reveal any emotions and said lightly, ” aren’t you coming in? ” His voice was still calm and without any fluctuations, and one could not tell what he was feeling at the moment.

Ling Lan’s little face turned paler and paler. She shook her head vigorously at him and turned to leave as if she had seen a ghost.

&Quot; Sister, Sister ... &Quot; Ling Lin called out worriedly. She looked at Zhou han and quickly turned around to catch up with Ling LAN.

On the other side, Zhou han released his hand from the elevator. Anran could not see any change in his expression. It was as if Ling LAN was just a stranger to him and would not change his emotions at all.

However, Anran didn’t miss his tightly clenched fists by his side. His hands revealed his emotions. He wasn’t as indifferent as he pretended to be.

The atmosphere in the elevator was weirdly heavy. Anran didn’t know what to say or what she could say, but fortunately, the elevator arrived very quickly. From the elevator to the company’s entrance, Zhou han seemed to have adjusted his emotions, because Anran noticed that his tightly clenched hands were slowly letting go.

Zhou Han’s car was parked at the company’s entrance. He turned to look at Anran, who was a step behind him, and asked politely and gentlemanly, ” “Do you need me to give you a lift?”

Anran smiled and shook her head. &Quot; no need. My house is nearby. &Quot;

Zhou han nodded and looked at her. He only said, ” “Then, goodbye.” After saying that, he turned around and headed straight for the black Mercedes-Benz that was parked there. He opened the door and got into the car. Then, with a beautiful drift, he drove the car directly onto the road. The speed of the car seemed to be a little fast. With a whoosh, it rushed onto the road and disappeared into the corner of the street.

It took a while for an ran to look away and turn around to walk in the direction of her house.

He went directly to the supermarket downstairs to buy the ingredients for tonight’s use, then returned home. He put down his briefcase and buried his head in the kitchen. He took out the recipe book he had borrowed from Lin Li from the cupboard. Fortunately, this recipe had the ‘green bean and corn stir-fried shrimp’ that su Yicheng had mentioned.

When su Yicheng opened the door with the key, he could only smell the burning smell of the house. He raised his eyebrows, as if he had a very bad feeling.

He directly took the slippers from the shoe cabinet at the entrance and changed into them. He tugged at the tie around his neck that he had been wearing the whole day. As he walked in, he called out softly, ” “An ran?”

No one responded. The deeper they went into the living room, the stronger the smell of Gu Yu’s burning body became. Frowning slightly, he put his briefcase on the sofa in the living room and saw that her briefcase was also lying on the sofa.

He turned to look at the kitchen, but he didn’t see an ran.

“An ran?” Su Yicheng raised his voice again, but still, no one answered.

He walked to the bedroom in confusion and pushed the door open. There was no one there. The study was empty and he didn’t see a certain someone. He couldn’t even see an ran in the bathroom or the guest room.

When they returned to the living room, su Yicheng muttered with some worry, ” where did she go? ”

He directly took out his phone. He didn’t even need to call up her contact, as he had already memorized those numbers by heart. He directly pressed it, and at the same time as the beeping sound in his ear, Anran’s phone rang from the kitchen.

Su Yicheng turned around and looked in the direction of the kitchen. He raised his eyebrows, but he didn’t hang up the phone and went straight to the kitchen.

He saw a pot on the ground. Inside the pot were some Black Reef corn, green beans, and shrimp that were difficult to distinguish. Following the pot, they directly met a pair of slightly aggrieved eyes. The person seemed to be in a somewhat sorry state. Her fair little face was stained black at this moment. There were black stains on her nose and face.

Anran looked at him, feeling wronged. She pointed at the thing in the pot and said, ” “The book says it’s so simple, but I followed the book several times and it’s all the same.”

Upon hearing this, su Yicheng finally noticed the trash can next to her, which was already filled with a lot of black stuff like the one in the pot.

&Quot; what kind of messed up recipe is this? it’s completely unreliable! &Quot; In a fit of pique, an ran grabbed the menu beside her and threw it into the trash can.

Looking at this scene, su Yicheng admitted that he had a bad heart, because at this moment, he only wanted to laugh!
