The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind-Chapter 118 Where is that man hiding?
Chapter 118: Chapter 118 Where is that man hiding?
"You okay? Why are you following me? Don’t make a mess."
Jiang Nanshu shook him off and dashed off, "No need to trouble you, I’m just going to change clothes, I’d be embarrassed with a man accompanying me."
Lu Qingyan followed her straight away and blocked the door as Jiang Nanshu opened it.
He took the opportunity to enter as well.
Yang Jiashu, who was in the middle of starting a video call on his phone, widened his eyes in shock, "Holy, Holy shit, Brother Yan just entered the same room as Jiang Nanshu..."
The next second his video call was hung up by Cheng An.
He looked at it, somewhat speechless.
It’s just renting a room, is it necessary to be so avoidant?
He decided he would ignore Jiang Yunchuan and Lu Qingyan later.
To think they went on vacation to such a nice place without inviting him!
The hotel room was even booked by himself.
Certainly not brotherly enough!
Humph, he decided to break off their friendship for one, oh no, two hours!
To express his dissatisfaction and then, taking his own room card, he went into his room to drop off his small luggage.
On the other end,
The reason Cheng An hung up was that Su Ran was also there.
Yang Jiashu was called over by Cheng An because Su Ran felt that her former good friends had started to drift apart, so Cheng An specifically asked Yang Jiashu to come and chat with Su Ran.
So he was just asking where he was when he suddenly caught that scene!
How did Lu Qingyan and Jiang Nanshu get to the point of entering a room together?
Men and women together in a single room, anyone would know what should happen, right?
Su Ran’s face was ashen, the brilliance that usually filled her confident eyes was now dead.
Cheng An was a bit panicked, "Ranran, you have to believe in Brother Yan, he wouldn’t do something like that... he..."
Su Ran shook her head, a sorrowful smile on her face, "Actually, from the moment he rushed to save Jiang Nanshu, it was clear that the life-saving favor I did for him in the past has become insignificant."
Tears welled up in her eyes, "I was just gone for three years, why did it change when I came back... Why did this happen, I just... I just used money to save a life, if I didn’t go he would have died, it was a life, how could I abandon him? I thought when I came back, I could clear up the misunderstanding with Lu Qingyan, he promised me he would be with me... How could I lose him."
Su Ran supported her head with her hands, sobbing painfully as tears fell heavily to the ground.
She had mustered all her courage to stand before him again.
Three years of unrequited love went nowhere, her love crushed into the mud just as it was about to break through the ground.
Why should she go through all these twists and turns, she just wanted to be with the person she liked for a lifetime, was that so wrong?
But power, wealth, and prestige from the outside always intervened.
Forced to choose between two paths in life, choosing one meant losing the other, one was a life, the other was a lover.
But the life she saved was a venomous snake, a devil capable of shattering her pride, her outwardly glamorous life was already in shambles within.
Thinking this, Su Ran’s entire body shook even harder.
Cheng An looked at her with pity, "Ranran... you..."
Su Ran suddenly grabbed Cheng An’s hand with red eyes, "Anzi, help me, I don’t want to go back overseas, help me get back together with Lu Qingyan, please."
Everything she told Lu Qingyan about not staying in touch was to take a step back to advance.
He was a particularly sensitive and cautious person.
Once he detected any ulterior motives from her.
Lu Qingyan would turn and walk away without hesitation.
She wanted to slowly get back in touch with him, at the very least, not to face the initial rejection from him again.
She needed a strong protector, as long as Lu Qingyan had feelings for her, he would protect her.
Cheng An was a bit stunned, as if he had just met Su Ran for the first time. Previously, Su Ran had always been full of pride and would never utter such a lowly plea for love.
"Ranran, what are you saying?"
It was then that Su Ran came to her senses. Indeed, how could she have said such a thing?
Such a self-defeating thing.
She withdrew her hand, her lashes wet with tears, "I’m sorry, just pretend I was speaking nonsense, I am Su Ran, I don’t need to revolve around a man, Anzi, just pretend you didn’t hear it. I’ve liked Qingyan for six years, it’s time to end things with him..."
Cheng An’s gaze turned into one of pity, and his palm gently patted her back, "It’s okay, Ranran, I will always stand behind you, just a turn away."
Grateful, Su Ran broke into a grateful, tearful smile, "Anzi, it’s so good to have you."
If only he had a powerful family background like Lu Qingyan.
It was a pity that not everyone was Lu Qingyan.
"Xixi will call us to a barbecue later, just straighten up and come," Cheng An stood up and walked outside, smiling at Su Ran, "Brother Yan will be there too, Ranran, you are very kind, and someone’s life is more important, I understand you, and I think Brother Yan will understand as well."
Su Ran’s palms were sweaty with nervousness.
She nodded, "You go first, I’ll be there in a moment."
The only thing she could be thankful for was that she wouldn’t have to see that person again for a while.
So she needed to cherish this time to develop her own career.
No sooner had she thought this than her phone vibrated twice; she had received messages from Yuan Feng and Director Chen.
Director Chen’s message was short: [Xiao Su, after the physical exam for the crew tomorrow, I’ve set up a meeting at Nightlife at 8 pm. If you’re free, come and discuss the lead female role for my costume drama. I still have high hopes for you, and your acting skills are recognized by me.]
Su Ran was somewhat excited.
She wanted to move on from the lukewarm reputation of her girl group and become a full-time actress.
Chen had given her the lead role in his campus web drama, and she was grateful for his appreciation of her talent.
Although his second costume drama was not a big production, as long as it wasn’t bad, she could still take the part; she had to seize every opportunity to climb upward.
Her eyes grew determined as she replied word by word, [Thank you, Director Chen, I will be there on time.]
After her reply, Director Chen sent her an "OK" hand sign.
Then Su Ran looked at Yuan Feng’s message.
[Xiao Ran, let’s go for the physical examination together tomorrow, there’s a blood test, are you afraid of pain?]
Yuan Feng was a third or fourth-tier figure in the entertainment industry with some popularity; Su Ran hoped he could provide her with some support.
So she replied eagerly, [I’m fine with everything, I’m not afraid of pain, Teacher Yuan, what time shall we meet tomorrow?]
It took Yuan Feng two minutes before he replied, [Let’s go in the morning. By the way, see if you can persuade Yiyi to come with us. We’re all from the same crew, and it’s not good for her career to go alone.]
Su Ran frowned.
Yuan Feng continued with a helpless reply, [She’s throwing a tantrum at me and not replying to my messages. I’m really worried about her. It’s easier for you girls to talk; you must convince her to prioritize her health.]
It was Jiang Leyi again.
Could it be because she was close to Yuan Feng, Jiang Leyi was putting on such an act, waiting for Yuan Feng to plead with her?
Su Ran’s face was cold.
Whether Jiang Leyi was well or not had nothing to do with her.
She wouldn’t speak to someone who targeted her.
So she pushed Yuan Feng’s words to the back of her mind. Could Yuan Feng really ask her face-to-face tomorrow why Jiang Leyi didn’t come?
...
Inside the presidential suite of the hotel.
Jiang Nanshu looked at Lu Qingyan, who had followed her in, and fell into thought: "..."
[I came to see my baby, what are you doing here?]
Lu Qingyan glanced around the suite, which was identical to his room layout, the corners of his peach blossom eyes narrowed, giving off a touch of coolness: "Where is that man hiding?"
