Chapter 368 The Only Person in the World Who Understands Her

After the annual holiday, everyone has to return to work. The Meng family members all go home to rest and have to work the next day.

As soon as he entered the door, Meng Yushu's phone vibrated a series of times.

He checked WeChat and saw it was Ji Lan.

I thought Ji Lan was still unwilling to give up after knowing his identity, but when I clicked on it, I realized that was not the case.

[Ji Lan]: I’m sorry, I didn’t know your identity before. I hope my behavior didn’t cause you too much trouble.

[Ji Lan]: I know you will probably look down on me. You and I are indeed from two different worlds. I hope you can meet someone who is clean, sincere and loves you in the future.

Meng Yushu raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise, and his impression of Ji Lan changed slightly.

Judging from her behavior of frankly admitting her mistakes and drawing a clear line between the two, although she treats feelings as a plaything, her character is not completely bad.

After hearing Liu Zhi mention Ji Lan's family relationship last night, Meng Yushu felt that perhaps she chose to fall into depravity because she lacked love.

This behavior, which seems to be revenge against "men", is actually abuse of herself.

He replied: [It's your own life, you have the right to choose. I just prefer people like my sister, who only want to climb higher when faced with setbacks, rather than willingly sinking deeper into the mud.]

It was just a casual reply, but he didn't know that Ji Lan, who received the message, stared at this sentence for a long time, with tears gradually filling his eyes.

It was as if she had met the only person in the world who understood her.

She clenched her phone and carefully recalled Meng Anran's past.

What good could the Lu family be? On the surface, the glamorous, century-old family was, in reality, a continuation of feudal ideology, with a preference for sons over daughters, and daughters used as tools for marriage alliances.

However, under such strong control, Meng Anran was able to secretly plan and make plans, using the Lu family's resources to develop his own power, and eventually had the capital to escape from the Lu family at any time.

After leaving the Lu family and returning to the bankrupt Meng family, she was able to climb up step by step and became the only woman among the top ten outstanding young entrepreneurs in the country.

Compared to this, the so-called "achievements" of having dated more than a dozen men and having won over countless celebrities or CEOs are simply vulgar.

Tears blurred Ji Lan's vision. She sniffed to wipe away the moisture from her eyes and looked at the photo frame on the bedside table.

In the photo, she is holding her mother's hand and smiling as brightly as a flower.

Pure, clean, and beautiful, but unfortunately, she can never come back.

…

Qin Mu and Meng Anran went straight back to the small house at No. 9 Jiangpan. Meng Anran planned to go to the studio tomorrow to perfect his new sculpture.

The car stopped steadily in the underground parking lot. Meng Anran had just unbuckled her seat belt when Qin Mu suddenly pulled her over and kissed her on the lips without saying a word.

"Um...Qin Mu!" She pushed him away and glared at him resentfully, "We're already downstairs at home, why do we have to kiss in the car?"

Qin Mu raised the corner of his lips and glanced at her with amusement: "You mean, let me kiss you enough when you get home?"

Meng Anran glared at him shyly, "You've been kissing me a lot these past few days! Why are you acting like a hungry wolf?"

Qin Mu smiled and rubbed her head, "Come upstairs, I can't wait to see the gift you prepared for me."

After getting off the bus, the luggage was handed over to Qin Mu.

As soon as she entered the elevator, Meng Anran's phone rang again. It was an unknown caller.

She answered the call with doubt, and an unfamiliar voice came from the other end: "Is this Miss An?"

"Who is this?" Meng Anran's voice was light and soft, but her tone was still polite.

"I'm Ji Lan."

This name surprised Meng Anran. She thought Ji Lan would avoid her after knowing Meng Yushu's identity. Who would have thought that the call would come to her.

"What's the matter?" she asked.

"I want to ask you for a favor." Ji Lan didn't seem to hesitate or nervous, and said bluntly: "You probably know my situation. I want to study with you and escape from that home."

Meng Anran smiled, "I have the impression that we have never had any intersection. Why do you think I will help you?"

"Because you have been helping women, and my experience is very similar to yours, so you are the most likely person to help me." Ji Lan did not beat around the bush and said whatever he thought.

However, such frankness does not necessarily lead to good results. Meng Anran said without hesitation: "I am indeed willing to fight for the legal rights of women and will speak up for women. But you are not a vulnerable group that needs help, and Ruiming Group is not a shelter.

You don't have a choice. Living your life the way it is now is entirely your own doing. I have no obligation to make up for your mistakes."

The words were very direct, and the rejection was obvious. Ji Lan had already thought about this outcome and didn't feel sad. She continued, "Actually, I don't know how to change the situation now. I think if I stay with you, maybe I can find the answer."

Meng Anran was silent for a moment, then asked, "You've lived a carefree life for so many years, why do you suddenly want to change?"

"Because of your brother." Ji Lan's words made Meng Anran's eyes freeze for a moment, "It can be regarded as a wake-up call. I think if my mother were still alive, she would definitely not want to see me like this."

"Rui Ming Group doesn't accept idlers or useless people." Meng Anran used harsh words, but then changed the subject: "But I can give you a few suggestions."

Ji Lan raised his eyebrows and thought to himself that Meng Anran was just as the outside world said, not someone to be trifled with, but a kind-hearted person.

She humbly asked, "I'd like to hear more."

"First of all, throw away those clothes of yours. Being sexy is considered vulgar in this circle."

Meng Anran's cold face was reflected on the elevator door, and her peach blossom eyes radiated a shrewd and wise light.

Her voice was cold as she continued, "Secondly, if you don't understand business, why not look for those ex-CEOs who still remember you? Since you're good at manipulating other people's emotions, you should know what to get from them that will maximize your own interests."

After these words were spoken, not only Ji Lan was stunned, but even Qin Mu stared at Meng Anran in disbelief.

Facing Qin Mu's incredulous look, Meng Anran added to the other end of the phone, "What I mean is, if you don't even feel guilty about playing with other people's feelings, why don't you just use it as a means to get something valuable?"

This is a very harsh statement, but based on Ji Lan's experience, it will indeed be the most powerful means for her to learn business experience.

Qin Mu poked An Xiaoran's forehead helplessly, saying that he only taught her bad things.

Ji Lan had finally made up his mind to make a change, but An Xiaoran's bad idea would only push him back into the quagmire.
