Chapter 121: 121

Zhou han also saw su Yicheng, and he was also a little surprised. Today, he was here to discuss a collaboration with a client. After the client left, he wanted to say that it was still a little early, so he came to the bar for a drink before going back. Seeing that the side profile of the man looked very similar to ye Ziwen, she tried to call out to him, but she didn’t expect su Yicheng to be there as well.

Ye Ziwen, who was standing on the side, seemed to have heard someone calling him, and he reacted half a beat slower. He looked up at su Yicheng’s expression, then turned around and saw Zhou han standing a few steps away. &Quot; Zhou han, are you here for a drink? come over and join us. &Quot; After she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that she had spoken too fast, so she subconsciously turned her head to see su Yicheng’s reaction.

Zhou han knew that su Yicheng didn’t want to see him. In fact, no one would want to see the person who had betrayed them in the past again. Just as he was about to say, ” my Hanhan. &Quot;

“Let’s go together.” Su Yicheng said lightly, his tone unhurried, and his face was so calm that no emotion could be seen. After he finished speaking, he turned his head away.

Zhou han didn’t know how to react and just stood there looking at him.

Ye Ziwen was also stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted and smiled at Zhou han,”Zhou han, come over and let’s have a drink.” As he spoke, he stood up and pulled him over.

He asked for another glass from the waiter and poured him some wine. He asked, ” “How’s Xiao bin doing recently? I haven’t seen him in a while.”

“It’s good,” Zhou han took the wine and clinked glasses with him.

&Quot; you! &Quot; ye Ziwen was about to say something when the phone in his pocket suddenly rang. He took it out and was surprised to see that it was su yijiao. He was overjoyed and quickly answered the call. &Quot; Hello, little Jiao? ”

Upon hearing this, su Yicheng, who was standing beside him, frowned slightly and turned to look at him.

She did not know what the person on the other end of the phone said, but ye Ziwen frowned slightly and said coldly,”Where is she? Alright, I’ll be there immediately.” After that, he hung up the phone and said to su Yicheng and Zhou han, ” something came up at the last minute, so I’ll be leaving first. &Quot;

“Did something happen to yijiao?” Su Yicheng asked with a frown. After all, she was his sister, so he was still worried.

“Xiaojiao is drunk at the bar.” As he spoke, he picked up his suit jacket.

“I’ll go with you.” Su Yicheng said.

“No, I’ll go.” Ye Ziwen refused, then stood up and left, leaving su Yicheng and Zhou han sitting at the bar counter.

The atmosphere seemed to be a little awkward. Zhou han spoke first and asked, ” “Aren’t you going to follow them?”

Su Yicheng replied and shook his head with a faint smile. &Quot; I trust Ziwen. &Quot;

“Hello, this is the spaghetti you ordered.” At this moment, the waiter served the spaghetti he ordered.

“Thank you,” he said. Su Yicheng took the chopsticks and began to enjoy his dinner.

As if he wanted to find a topic to talk about, Zhou han said without much to ask, ” “I haven’t eaten yet.”

“Yes.” Su Yicheng nodded and didn’t say anything else.

Then, there was endless silence. Su Yicheng was focused on eating his dinner, while Zhou han was focused on drinking his wine. The two of them sat side by side, but there was no topic to talk about at all.

Zhou han drank his wine and the corners of his mouth curved up in a self-deprecating manner.

After he had finished his bowl of noodles, su Yicheng asked the waiter to clear the dishes, then turned to look at him and said indifferently, ” “I saw that you guys have also bid for the reconstruction project in the old District.”

“I’m just throwing in.” In fact, he didn’t dare to have much hope for this. After all, the company had moved back to China less than half a year ago. Although he thought that the bidding and design were perfect, he also knew that he had no advantage over those so-called leading enterprises.

Upon hearing this, su Yicheng only said indifferently, ” “Since you don’t have the confidence to do this project well, why did you invest in it?”

&Quot; we have absolute confidence in the project, but we don’t have much hope in winning the bid. &Quot; Zhou han corrected him.

Su Yicheng didn’t say anything. He just took a sip of the water on the bar.

Looking at him, Zhou han said calmly, ” is your wife doing well? I’m sorry about what happened last time. &Quot;

Su Yicheng naturally knew that he was referring to Anran’s fall, so he nodded. &Quot; it’s good. &Quot;

Zhou han nodded and did not say anything. Holding the glass, he looked at the brownish-yellow liquid under the blanket. He gently shook the glass, then raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp. He knew that they would never be able to sit together, drink, and chat like they used to. Even if he wanted to, he would feel uncomfortable. Just as she got up and was about to leave, su Yicheng, who was next to her, suddenly spoke.

&Quot; he actually chose to give up so many things just to be with her. Then why did he choose to separate if he wanted to leave? ” Su Yicheng looked at him fixedly. He didn’t want to say it, but he still asked.

Zhou han paused and looked at him. His hands that were hanging by his sides clenched tightly. He closed his eyes in pain and only opened them after a while. He said with a bitter smile, ” &Quot; she will betray you. Of course, she will also betray me. &Quot; After saying that, he didn’t say anything more, paid the bill, and left.

Su Yicheng looked at his back until his figure disappeared at the door of the bar, and then he came back to his senses.

The results for the first project of Technology City were out. Jingcheng construction didn’t win the bid, but hanhai real estate won the Laocheng District reconstruction project. This result surprised many people, but at the same time, it also made this unknown small and medium-sized company quickly become familiar. Anran was very surprised by this result. She didn’t understand why they would give up on those more powerful companies and choose such a small company.

However, despite her confusion, Anran didn’t ask su Yicheng a single question. She had always abided by her duty and didn’t ask anything that she shouldn’t have asked or said.

On this day, Anran was sitting at the bar and seriously studying the menu. When she was preparing to make a sumptuous dinner that night, Lin Li’s phone call came in.

She picked it up and heard Lin Li’s slightly excited voice on the other end of the phone. &Quot; an Zi, I found a job! &Quot; Lin Li had been looking for a job for the past few days. In fact, when she was with Chengxiang, she had a completely playful attitude towards work. In any case, if she found Chengxiang, he wouldn’t starve her, so her attitude towards work had never been serious. However, she couldn’t do it this time. She really had to work hard for herself and her parents.

Although father Lin’s surgery was a success, he still needed a large amount of medicine for a period of time. The medical expenses alone were quite expensive. The Lin family was originally only considered well-off, but father Lin’s illness this time had almost used up all of the family’s savings. As the only daughter in the family, Lin Li naturally had to bear all the responsibility.

Anran had once told Lin Li that she had a certain amount of savings after working for so long. Although it wasn’t much, it could solve Lin Li’s current predicament. If Lin Li was willing, Anran could lend her the money, but Lin Li refused. Lin Li had changed a lot since she had broken up with Chengxiang. She had become independent and strong, but her persistence made Anran’s heart ache for her.

“Really? what do you do? What company?” An ran put down the menu in her hand and was also happy that she had found a job.

&Quot; it’s a real estate company, and it’s also a property sales company. They start work tomorrow. &Quot; &Quot; I haven’t done anything else before, ” Lin Li said. &Quot; I still have some experience in this, although I haven’t sold many houses. &Quot; Lin Li chuckled, her tone a little playful.

“It’s fine. I’ll just pretend I don’t know and start from the beginning.” Anran comforted her and said in her usual tone, ” &Quot; our Empress Dowager is so smart. It won’t be difficult to sell a house. It won’t be a problem to buy a house. &Quot;

Lin Li laughed out loud and said, ” haha, I like what you’re saying, little an. Come and flatter me a little more. If you do well, I’ll reward you handsomely. &Quot;

&Quot; Your Majesty, you’re born beautiful and smart. You’re loved by everyone, and you’ll be happy if you see flowers or cars! &Quot; An ran felt that it was a compliment that went against her heart.

“En, en, not bad. Continue, continue, this widow loves to hear.” Lin Li enjoyed it very much, as if she was completely immersed in it.

“You’re as beautiful as a fairy, and you’re the top beauty in the world.” An ran used all the idioms and sentences she could think of.

Lin Li nodded in satisfaction. &Quot; yes, yes, very good, ” she said. &Quot; what else? ”

An ran spat out blood and said in a bad mood, ” &Quot; F * ck you. You’re really going to do it just because I gave you some colors. I’m embarrassed for you if you’re not ashamed. You still want to continue? ”

“Xiao an Zi, you’re rebelling. Do you believe that this widow will find someone to drag you out right now!” Lin Li was completely in the zone. &Quot; men, drag this audacious servant out to fight in her thirties. Let’s see if she still dares to speak rudely in the future. &Quot;

“Hahaha.” Anran smiled as she held the phone, as if the Lin Li from back then had returned. She was so happy and happy.

Lin Li also laughed. The two of them seemed to have really returned to the feeling they had at the beginning, without any worries.

Ding Ling Ling Ling Ling

Just as Anran was holding her phone and laughing with Lin Li, the doorbell rang.

Anran turned to look at the door and remembered that Qin Yun said last night that she was going to bring her chicken soup today to nourish her body. She quickly said into the phone, ” &Quot; Lin Li, I’ll talk to you later. Maybe my mother-in-law is here. &Quot;

&Quot; Okay, okay. By the way, let’s have dinner together another day. It’s my treat. &Quot; Lin Li didn’t forget to say this before hanging up the phone.

“Yes, we’ll leave it at that.” An ran hung up the phone with a smile.

&Quot; Ding Ling Ling Ling Ling Ling “. It seemed that no one opened the door, so the person outside the door rang the doorbell again.

“Coming, coming.” An ran got up from the high chair and quickly walked to the door as she responded. Without looking through the peephole, he thought that it was Qin Yun. Without thinking much, he opened the door. However, the moment he opened the door, he was stunned to see the person standing outside.

Outside the door, Ling LAN wore a long bohemian dress with suspenders. Her long, curly hair fell over her shoulders. She wore a pair of sunglasses that covered half of her face and held a canvas bag in her hand. She smiled and looked at Anran.

Anran didn’t expect it to be Ling LAN instead of Qin Yun. She was stunned for a while before she slowly came back to her senses. She looked at her and said calmly, ” why are you here? ”

Taking off her sunglasses, Ling Lan’s lips curved up slightly as she said, ” “Aren’t you going to invite me in to sit?”

An ran didn’t move away. She looked at her and said, ” “I don’t think there’s anything to talk about with miss Ling.” After saying that, she wanted to close the door and go in. She didn’t know what Ling LAN wanted to do this time, but she instinctively felt repulsed by this woman. Especially when she knew that she had purposely asked Xiao bin to come over and push her last time. She felt that her actions were simply disdainful. She was also a mother, how could she treat her own child like this!

Ling LAN reached out to block an ran’s closing door. She smiled and said, ” “Is this how Deputy Mayor SU’s family treats their guests?”

“The way of hospitality.” An ran chuckled, looked at her, and said bluntly, ” “I don’t think that miss Ling is a guest.”

Ling LAN looked at her steadily. The smile on her lips was a little cold, and the color of her eyes was also a little bone-piercing.

Ignoring her cold eyes and sneer, Anran looked at her hand and frowned unhappily. She only said in a serious tone, ” &Quot; if miss Ling insists on not letting go, I don’t mind calling security to ask you to leave. &Quot;

“Hehe.” Ling LAN retracted her hand and chuckled. &Quot; &Quot; Mrs. Su, why are you so serious? I’m just a weak woman. What can I do to you? besides, I heard that Mrs. Su is pregnant now. Please don’t get angry. Otherwise, you’ll hurt the child. That’s not good. &Quot;

“Thanks for the reminder.” An ran replied indifferently. Her face was cold and expressionless. She was about to close the door again.

“Don’t you want to know why I’m here today?” The moment she closed the door, Ling LAN said, ” “If I said that I’m here today for ah Zhen’s future, would you still keep me out like this?”

The door closed after she finished speaking, but Ling LAN wasn’t angry. She still had a smile on her face and patted her sunglasses lightly, as if she was certain that Anran would definitely open the door again later.

As expected, Anran didn’t make her wait for long. The door was opened less than a minute after it was closed. Anran looked at her steadily, and their eyes met. After a while, she asked, ” “What did you mean by that?”

Ling LAN smiled and looked at him. &Quot; “I don’t like to be blocked at the door. It’s really uncomfortable.”

An ran didn’t say anything. In the end, she turned sideways and let her in. He turned around and entered the house, but he did not close the door.

Ling LAN looked around at the decorations of the house. Finally, she sat down on the sofa and said with a half-smile, ” “The house is pretty, but I remember that ah Zhen doesn’t like this style.”

Anran sat down across from her and smiled faintly. &Quot; people change. Besides, you haven’t seen each other for so many years. Besides, Yicheng loves me. Even if he doesn’t like me, he will still accommodate me. &Quot;

Ling Lan’s lips twitched, but there was no smile on her face. She snorted coldly and said, ” “I didn’t come here today to admire your house.”

“I didn’t let you in to show you around my house.” &Quot; so, ” Anran said. &Quot; miss Ling, please explain clearly what you just meant. &Quot;

Hearing this, Ling LAN smiled smugly and said, ” “If I say that I can help ah Zhen’s future career, would you believe me?”

Anran looked at her steadily. &Quot; I believe you, but I don’t think Yicheng can’t get out of here without your help. Besides, I think you should know that Yicheng doesn’t care about using such means. He doesn’t need your connections to have the ability. &Quot;

After spending so much time with him, she didn’t dare to say that she knew su Yicheng very well, but when it came to the way he handled things and his character, she absolutely believed that su Yicheng wasn’t the kind of person who liked to rely on nepotism to get to where he was. He had his own pride, and with his abilities, even without those external factors, he could still go very far. For example, he had already reached his current position at such a young age, and this was the best affirmation and proof of his ability!

“I’ve known ah Luo for a longer time than you, so I naturally know him better than you. You don’t need to tell me this. No one knows better than me what kind of person he is.” Ling LAN looked at her without a care in the world. She took out a cigarette and lighter from her bag, took a cigarette, put it in her mouth, and lit it with the lighter.

“I’ll have to trouble you to destroy it.” An ran frowned unhappily. She refused to take in second-hand smoke, especially when she was pregnant.

Ling LAN looked at her and pretended to be sorry. &Quot; “Oh, I’m sorry. Look at me, I forgot that there was a pregnant woman sitting in front of me.” Although she said that, she didn’t seem to have any intention of putting out the cigarette. She frowned in distress and said, ” &Quot; but what can I do? my smoking addiction is acting up. If I don’t smoke, I’ll feel really bad. So, I’ll have to trouble you to bear with it for a while. &Quot; As he spoke, he took another deep breath and deliberately blew out the smoke ring in an ran’s direction.

An ran didn’t say anything. She just frowned and reached out to cover her nose.

Ling LAN flicked the cigarette ash onto the clean floor and continued, ” “Maybe I didn’t make it clear just now. The career I’m talking about is whether ah Zhen can continue on this path in the future, or whether he will be investigated by the relevant departments for some reason, and what problems will be found.”

Anran suddenly turned to look at her, her eyes wide open. &Quot; “What do you mean by that?” Was she trying to frame su Yicheng?

“Hehe.” Ling LAN smiled and said,”I’ve already said it so clearly. Don’t tell me you still can’t understand?” That’s really stupid.”

“Do you think I’ll believe you? Don’t think that just because your father is the mayor of Jiang city, your family can do whatever they want. Jiang city isn’t run by your family, and besides, if Yicheng didn’t do anything, he’s doing it with integrity, so he’s not afraid of you investigating him.” Anran said this, but for some reason, she felt a little flustered. Even she couldn’t describe what she was feeling. Why was it like this?

“Hahaha.” Ling LAN smiled and shook her head. &Quot; Gu Anran, I’m saying that you’re too simple-minded or that you’re too single and stupid. What do you think the competition in the officialdom is? She was so naïve that she said that nothing would happen to her if she didn’t do it. It was really too funny. I’m telling you, if someone really wants to bring you down, it’s not up to you to decide whether they do it or not.” After he finished speaking, he put the cigarette in his hand into his mouth and took a deep puff. He looked at her with some ridicule and kept shaking his head.”You are not qualified to stand beside ah Luo. You don’t even understand the most basic law of survival in the officialdom. You can’t even detect the hidden dangers around you. You will cause big trouble for ah Luo.”

Anran subconsciously clenched her hands and asked him, ” what are you trying to do? are you planning to frame Yicheng? ” The panic and fear in her heart gradually expanded. She didn’t know what she was afraid of, but she was afraid, very, very afraid.

&Quot; don’t say it so harshly. It’s up to you if you give me a chance to frame you. &Quot; She didn’t want to do this, but they didn’t give her a chance at all. She was also taking a gamble, taking all the risks. If she won, she would have everything. If she lost, she would be consigned to eternal damnation. So she had to win this round!

Anran shook her head and clenched her hands tightly. &Quot; no, Yicheng won’t give you this chance. I believe him. If he hasn’t done it, we’re not afraid. &Quot;

“Hmph,” he snorted. Ling LAN snorted coldly and snuffed out the cigarette in her hand into the fruit platter on the coffee table. She said, ” “Other than saying this to you today, I also hope to make a deal with you. If you’re willing to abort the child in your stomach and divorce ah Luo, I can help him. But if you’re not willing, don’t blame me for not considering our old relationship. So, do you agree to this deal or not?”

“Impossible!” Anran refused. How could she possibly agree to abort the child in her stomach? it was her baby, the child between her and su Yicheng. Even if it meant her life, she couldn’t possibly agree to abort the child. She looked at her and said a little excitedly, ” &Quot; I will not believe your nonsense. Besides, I don’t think that Yicheng is a pushover that you can manipulate. &Quot;

“Hahaha.” Ling LAN smiled. She wasn’t surprised by her reaction at all. She ran her fingers through her long, curly black hair and took her bag from the sofa. Then, she turned around and stood up flirtatiously. She looked at her with a half-smile and said, ” &Quot; it’s fine if you don’t agree now. I’ll wait. I’ll wait for you to come to me crying and begging me to agree! &Quot;

Anran also stood up and looked back at her. She said determinedly, ” “You should just give up on that idea, there will never be such a thing!”

“Hehe, then I’ll wait and see.” Ling LAN looked at her and laughed coldly. Then, she adjusted her dress and said, ” I’ve said what I wanted to say. What you want to do next is up to you to think carefully. If you really love ah Luo, I think you will know what to do. &Quot; After he finished speaking, he glanced at Anran again, intentionally or otherwise, before turning around and leaving the house with a smile.

Ling LAN was in a good mood as she stood at the elevator door, waiting for the elevator with a light smile on her face, her mouth humming a little tune.

The elevator doors opened, and Qin Yun walked out with a thermos flask in her hand. She was surprised to see Ling LAN here. &Quot; Ling LAN? ”

“Mother su.” Ling LAN chuckled and called out, ” long time no see. &Quot;

“What are you doing here?” Qin Yun looked at her in confusion.

“I’m here to talk to an ran about something.” Ling LAN smiled and looked at her watch. She said apologetically, ” “I’m sorry, I’m in a hurry. I’ll take my leave first.” Just as she entered the elevator, she suddenly thought of something. She turned around and said with a smile, ” “Mother su, let’s have tea together when you’re free.”

Qin Yun didn’t have the time to pay attention to her. She turned around and walked toward su Yicheng’s apartment. The door wasn’t closed, so she could smell the smoke in the room as soon as she reached the door. Anran seemed to be sitting on the sofa in a daze.
