Luan Ran x Xi Shangchen
After a cup of Coke, the phone went dark. Su Lianqing looked frightened, with cold eyes flashing, but his face was full of fear and trepidation. She apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Sister, I will compensate you... I'm really sorry..."
What could Luan Ran care about with an 18-year-old child? She only regretted that she didn't buy a waterproof phone, and sighed again: "It's okay, you don't have to compensate."
Sister Chao teased beside her: "Mr. Luan is really kind to men."
"..."
Fragrance? Jade? Who are you talking about? Luan Ran's face was full of black lines.
Luan Ran wiped the phone speechlessly and confirmed that it couldn't be turned on. She felt sad in her heart. Maybe it was destined by God that she would not receive Xi Shangchen's explanation and apology today.
She actually cared about Xi Shangchen very much, and she was not as rational and indifferent as she showed.
Luan Ran poured another cup of Coke for Su Lianqing: "Don't be afraid, sister will drink Coke with you."
Su Lianqing's hands did not shake this time, but his eyes were always on Luan Ran's face. Luan Ran was so different from what he imagined. He had never met someone like Luan Ran. She did not treat him as a pastime or make fun of him, but was a gentle, unpretentious big sister.
"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something? Cake?"
Su Lianqing waved her hand and said, "Thank you, sister, you don't have to spend money."
Luan Ran was a face control like her sister. Su Lianqing was not bad looking, but too young, white, and thin, and not necessarily as tall as her. Luan Ran did not have those charming thoughts. She looked at Su Lianqing like a child, full of maternal love and protectiveness for him. If he needed milk, she would ask someone to serve him milk. Hearing his sensible words, Luan Ran's maternal love overflowed, and she asked, "Is there any difficulty in your family?"
Su Lianqing was startled and quickly concealed the unnatural expression on his face and shook his head. It
was inconvenient for the child to say Luan Ran did not ask. The lights in the box were dazzling, and everyone in the venue was chatting, toasting, and some flirting with each other. Luan Ran could not do this to Su Lianqing. After thinking for a long time, she turned and asked, "What will you do with your studies after your debut?"
"The company will hire a tutor." Su Lianqing answered honestly, although Sister Chao had been giving him a wink, asking him to get closer to Luan Ran.
Luan Ran had a general understanding of his situation. Looking at the others, only Luan Ran was asking people about their studies like an old woman. She did bring shame to the word "rich woman", but she couldn't do it and didn't like to be involved in the same business with these people. Her attention was not even completely focused on Su Lianqing.
In fact, her thoughts drifted to the horizon.
She was thinking about Xi Shangchen and what he was doing.
At the same time, Xi Shangchen was in another bar, and the person next to him was Li Linan.
He didn't come to drink, he came to settle accounts with Li Linan. He was afraid that Luan Ran didn't believe it, so he had to find Li Linan, the person involved.
"What's your Miss Luan's reaction?"
"No reaction, satisfied?"
Li Linan actually had no ill intentions. He was about to die alone, and he wasn't so idle as to ruin other people's marriages. Before asking people to go, he also inquired if Luan Ran had a social event in the evening. Who knew that they had been together the night before? Assistance and trouble often happen in an instant. It is also possible that like Zhou Bai, he both ruined things and helped the attack.
"How could I know you guys got along so quickly? Last time you said there was no chance of getting along." If Li Linan knew, he wouldn't have been so bored as to do this.
Xi Shangchen took out his cell phone and said coldly, "I'll call her. You tell me what good things you've done. If you can't explain it clearly today, I'll get someone to smash your place."
Li Linan thought to himself, Xi Shangchen is a person who will do things behind people's backs no matter how angry he is. On the surface, he is so kind and gentle. It's rare for him to show his emotions like this. Luan Ran might really be his weak spot, but he doesn't care. Just smash it. Anyway, it's his nephew's business, not his. He doesn't feel bad if it's smashed.
Xi Shangchen dialed the phone, but it rang for a long time but didn't get through.
"She blocked you?"
As soon as Li Linan said this, Xi Shangchen's face suddenly became extremely ugly. He stared at the screen of his mobile phone with gloomy eyes, as if it would break in the next second. Li Linan immediately took out his own mobile phone: "Use mine to call."
Xi Shangchen used his mobile phone to call again, but no one answered. But his face was much more relaxed, at least it could prove that
Luan Ran did not block him. Li Linan took the opportunity to take the phone back, so that Xi Shangchen would not smash his phone when he was unhappy. He opened a bottle of fine brandy for Xi Shangchen and said: "Drink while calling, your Miss Luan is absolutely fine, maybe she is unhappy and doesn't want to answer your call. When she is willing to answer, you can coax her, and I guarantee that she will be devoted to you in the future."
Devoted? It would be strange if Xi Shangchen believed his nonsense. Such insane remarks were not suitable for his Miss Luan.
Li Linan said again: "If Luan Ran breaks up with you, I will buy myself a coffin and lie in it quickly, okay?"
Xi Shangchen sat down, did not take his wine, and kept pressing the dial button.
...
While winking at his sister and looking ambiguous, Luan Ran took Su Lianqing to his car with an embarrassed look. Thanks to Su Lianqing, she drank Coke all night and did not drink a drop of alcohol.
"Where do you live?" Luan Ran said as he buckled his seat belt.
"Shouldn't we go to your place, sister?" The boy looked at her with red lips and white teeth, and his black and white eyes were clearly black and white. There was a faint undercurrent flowing, but in a moment, it was restrained and turned back to a clear and simple appearance, asking her in a daze.
Luan Ran knew that the child had misunderstood. She didn't bring him out to sleep with him, but she knew that if she didn't want him, he would be pointed out to someone else, maybe a woman or a man, and he would be blamed after returning.
Every circle has its own rules, a complex network of relationships, and many interests involved. The rules are hard to break. Even Luan Ran can't do whatever she wants. In this world, there are always people who are more powerful than her. It wouldn't be surprising if the Luan family fell one day. Seeing that he was young and didn't seem to come to that kind of place voluntarily, she couldn't bear it, so she brought him out. She wanted to save as many people as possible.
"Sister, don't you want... Forget it, just tell me where you live, and I'll take you back."
Su Lianqing's beautiful eyes lit up, as if he couldn't believe it, with a trace of reluctance in her eyes. After hesitating for a long time, she said, "I live in Gaiyue Hotel, sister... just take me to the hotel."
Luan Ran didn't doubt it. An eighteen-year-old boy left his hometown to be signed by an agency. He definitely didn't have his own house. He should live in a dormitory. This is not their company's headquarters, so it's good to have a hotel to live in.
The car drove to the hotel parking lot. Luan Ran's phone was broken. He rummaged in his bag for a long time and found a pen and paper. He wrote down a string of numbers and handed it to Su Lianqing, saying, "If you want to go back to school, or if they ask you to come to this place next time and you don't want to come, you can call this number, go back and have a good sleep, and forget about what happened today. You are only eighteen years old, still young, and the future will be better."
The boy's thin shoulders moved slightly, and his weak fingertips trembled slightly. He didn't dare to look into Luan Ran's eyes.
After a long while, he took the note: "Thank you, sister..."
Luan Ran opened the car door and watched Su Lianqing unbuckle his seat belt and get out of the car. She waved at him and went in another direction. Su Lianqing still stood there, watching her car drive away. He walked silently to the hotel gate until she could no longer see him.
Originally, Luan Ran wanted to drive directly to Luan Yan's house, but then she thought about it and went to the mall first to buy a new phone. she was not sure whether the mall would be open at this time, but without a phone, many messages could not be received. This was a top priority. It
took more than half an hour to get from the hotel to the mall because of the traffic jam. By the time she bought the phone and inserted the phone card into the new phone, it was almost dawn.
Luan Ran turned on her phone and logged into her major social accounts. There were messages from Xi Shangchen in each account. Not only that, Xi Shangchen called her dozens of times during the two hours when her phone was broken.
He had been looking for her.
Luan Ran was about to reply to him when the headline news of the night popped up. The protagonist was none other than...
she and Su Lianqing were photographed.
