Chapter 17: Killing the Door (1)
Probably because the hostility in Diao Ranran's eyes was too obvious, even Zhan Xingchuan, who was sitting opposite her, couldn't help but follow her line of sight and looked back.
Ruan Fan stood outside the porridge shop, wearing a loose maternity dress, waiting impatiently.
"It turned out to be Ran's widow. I really didn't expect that her husband not only left some inheritance, but also left her a widow. Back then, their wedding was a sensation, and that kind of luxury is probably difficult to surpass even now. ”
Zhan Xingchuan touched his chin and said in amazement, it seems that he still can't forget that prosperous wedding.
Diao Ranran couldn't help but look at him, her eyes full of doubt.
She didn't know when the Ran clan had business dealings with the Zhan clan, and he actually knew Ran Tianze and Ruan Fan, and even went to their wedding.
Although he was not present, Ran Xixi had heard of how luxurious that wedding was. After all, the Chinese circle is so big, even if she did not return to China and stayed in New York, she had heard some details from the mouths of others.
It is impossible not to be angry and not jealous.
"Do you know this woman?"
Diao Ranran put his hand on his cheek and asked pretending to be puzzled.
"Met twice, and had been invited to attend her and her husband's wedding before. Her husband is almost as old as our father's generation, but this is also normal, rich and beautiful. ”
Zhan Xingchuan had already retracted his gaze and did not look at Ruan Fan again. Although he rarely cares about other people's private affairs, he doesn't like this woman from the bottom of his heart, perhaps because the desire for money in her eyes is too naked and obvious.
"Oh, that's it."
Diao Ranran replied absentmindedly, and then couldn't help but look at Ruan Fan who was standing at the door.
She guessed while watching that Ruan Fan had been pregnant, but she really couldn't tell from the bulging abdomen, she only knew that the month of Lu Dao must be not small.
Just as he was thinking, the waiter brought the porridge for the two.
"After breakfast, I'll send you home, don't go to the company these days, stay in bed."
Zhan Xingchuan handed over the small spoon and put it in the porridge bowl in front of Diao Ranran, between the movements, he looked very considerate and gentle, it seemed that his arrogance was completely different from the previous few meetings.
Soon, Ruan Fan's nanny also took the packed porridge and walked out. Ruan Fan seemed to be impatient, complained in a low voice, and turned to walk in front.
As far as Diao Ranran knew, after her father died, the woman moved out of the Ran family's villa. Although the Ran family declared bankruptcy, his father's private collection, as well as several properties belonging to personal property, were legal. According to his will and the relevant provisions of the law, these estates will be jointly inherited by his spouse and children, that is, Ran Xixi.
However, Ran Xixi was hit by a Manhattan bombing while studying in the United States, and she was unable to return to her hometown of Zhonghai.
The person who came back was Diao Ranran, the current Diao Ranran.
The whole thing, like a lame myth, is full of doubts, unbelievable, and confusing.
As a result, Ruan Fan became the widow of a wealthy man, she held a lot of inheritance in her hands, and now she lives a low-key life because of pregnancy, and she is no longer like in the past, singing and singing night after night, circling between the drinking banquets and parties of the upper class, as if, in one night, she has changed from a noble lady to a good woman.
"What, do you know that woman? From the very beginning, there was something wrong with your eyes. ”
Zhan Xingchuan didn't remember to drink the porridge, but gently stirred it with a spoon and asked out loud.
He noticed Diao Ranran's mood changes, from a few minutes ago, she was on guard, and her limbs were also tense, judging from her body language, these all represented her nervous and anxious mood, and there was no way to fake.
The only person who can explain these changes in her is probably Ruan Fan, who suddenly appeared.
"Do I have it? No, I don't know, it's just that I rarely see such good-looking pregnant women, so I took a few more looks. You know, after many women get pregnant, they have spots, dark circles, or something, and they are very haggard. ”
Diao Ranran naturally wouldn't tell him the truth, so he casually made a nonsense, and hurriedly lowered his head and drank porridge.
The white porridge was boiled to a pulp, but it was very hot, and she was in a hurry to eat, and her tongue was so hot that it was numb and crispy. Zhan Xingchuan saw it, but he was very clever not to expose her lies, but he was sure that she must have something to hide.
Do you just trust me like that? His heart suddenly flooded with a faint melancholy and frustration.
It turns out that if you want to know the true thoughts in her heart, her current self is far from qualified.
Sure enough, as Zhan Xingchuan said, after breakfast, he wanted to send Diao Ranran home and ordered her to rest for a few more days and not to rush to the company.
In desperation, she had to call her assistant Nora, saying that she would be working from home for the next week, and if there was an urgent matter to deal with, she would have to trouble her to send it to her home, and the rest of the daily work would be handled by the heads of various departments.
Putting down the phone, Diao Ranran looked at Zhan Xingchuan, and complained with a depressed face: "You are forcing me to sit on the words 'no learning and no skills'." ”
She has never wanted to be the second ancestor in everyone's mouth, a gentleman, so she fights so hard.
Whether it is Ran Xixi or Diao Ranran, there is no ambiguity at this point.
He smiled, reached out and touched her head, as kind as a brother next door, Diao Ranran instinctively dodged, she didn't seem to be used to others touching the back of her head.
Zhan Xingchuan was stunned for a moment, his hand paused in mid-air, probably feeling a little embarrassed.
Diao Ranran herself was also a little dazed, she actually didn't resist having physical contact with Zhan Xingchuan, but just now when she saw him reaching out to touch her head, she subconsciously wanted to dodge.
"Okay, you drive, I'll enter the address for you."
She changed the subject, opened the navigation in front of her, entered the location of her home, and looked at the time, it was almost more than forty minutes away, and the distance was not close.
Zhan Xingchuan started the car and sent her back.
Along the way, neither of the two said anything, and the atmosphere was a little stiff.
Nora made two more phone calls, and she was hesitant, with a vague preface and an ominous taste. After the last moment, Diao Ranran ran ran out of patience and roared, "What do you want to say?" Are you going to resign? If you want to resign, I will approve it immediately, and ask the finance department to give you half a year's salary! ”
Maybe her tone was too impulsive, and even Zhan Xingchuan on the side couldn't help but turn his head to look at her a few times.
Diao Ranran saw himself blowing his beard and staring at himself from his sunglasses, and suddenly felt depressed, quickly patted his cheeks, and quickly relaxed.
Nora saw that the boss was angry, and there was a hint of crying in her voice.
"Sorry...... Miss Diao, I don't dare to say it...... That one...... Mr. Ritsu is in the company, and he has directly broken into your office...... He said...... If I can't see you...... And he won't go...... We didn't dare to call the police, after all, he was a public figure and our spokesperson......"
She said intermittently, but Diao Ranran still understood.
Mr. Lil...... It must be Lu Qingyu's scum, he actually dared to kill her territory to spread wild?!
"Turn around! I'm going back to work. ”
Diao Ranran didn't say a word, hung up the phone, turned his head angrily, and said to Zhan Xingchuan.
