Chapter 14 If you need my help, you can…

Song Zhixu felt that before recognizing her, Tang Ran was unfamiliar with her like a stranger, but she was very relaxed.

But ever since she took off her mask at the bar, Tang Ran has been very reserved every time she sees her, and even subconsciously avoids her.

This gave her the illusion that Tang Ran was somewhat afraid of her.

Song Zhixu did not understand.

They didn't have much interaction before, and it seems they didn't have any bad experiences.

Why is Tang Ran afraid of her?

She couldn't guess why, and didn't want Tang Ran to misunderstand, so she simply asked directly.

"What did I do...?"

The imagined interrogation turned into a gentle and polite inquiry, and Tang Ran's muddled mind finally cleared up.

Song Zhixu did misunderstand, but it wasn't what she thought.

"No, no," Tang Ran explained awkwardly, "I just... I just..."

She subconsciously avoided Song Zhixu, not because she was afraid of him.

Aside from the nervousness stemming from their unfamiliarity, Tang Ran's reaction was mainly due to her habit of keeping her distance from Song Zhixu as much as possible.

In her previous life, Song Wuqi disliked her associating with Song Zhixu.

When the two were first engaged, Song Wuqi would often quarrel with her because of this. Over time, Tang Ran subconsciously began to avoid Song Zhixu.

Even after being reborn, Tang Ran hadn't yet broken this habit.

Tang Ran stammered "that's it," then couldn't continue.

She really couldn't explain the reason!

She scratched her head, but her mind was already slow after drinking, and she couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation.

"Feel sorry."

Seeing that she was scratching her head for a long time but couldn't come up with a reason, Song Zhixu stopped insisting on getting an answer.

She offered a way out, saying, "Perhaps I misunderstood."

"Mmm, mmm." Tang Ran nodded hurriedly.

Fearing that Song Zhixu wouldn't believe her, she raised her finger again and emphasized once more, "I'm really not afraid of you."

She also wanted to win Song Zhixu over as an ally, so as not to leave the impression from the start that she was afraid to get along with her.

Song Zhixu was amused by her eagerness to swear an oath to prove her innocence.

She smiled gently, then nodded solemnly, "I understand, I misunderstood."

Seeing that she believed her, Tang Ran breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, I quite like you."

There was nothing wrong with those words in themselves, but they sounded a little strange at this moment.

Not to mention Tang Ran herself, even Song Zhixu showed a hint of surprise.

"No, no, that's not what I meant. What I meant was that I really respect you," Tang Ran quickly explained, waving her hands.

“Respect?” Song Zhixu repeated, his tone tinged with annoyance. “It sounds like I’m very old.”

"That's not what I meant," Tang Ran quickly shook her head in denial.

Song Zhixu is thirty-one years old this year, in the prime of his life, and does not resemble an old man at all.

"It's because my mom always praises you and thinks you're amazing."

Tang Ran quickly tried to recover from the shock of drinking alcohol, as her brain seemed to have grown a little more.

Song Zhixu is the quintessential "other people's child," and Tang Wanru always praises her whenever she talks about her.

Despite her gentle appearance and soft voice, she is decisive and ruthless in her actions.

Song Zhiming, who was to be the heir of the Song family, died in a car accident. Overwhelmed with grief, Old Master Song fell seriously ill. The board of directors was embroiled in infighting, and the Song family was almost plunged into crisis.

Song Zhixu, who had no experience or preparation whatsoever, was temporarily recalled to the country.

During that period, Tang Ran heard her mother mention her almost every day, telling her how she outsmarted those old foxes on the board of directors and stabilized the situation in less than a month.

Tang Ran said that her feeling that Song Zhixu was amazing was not just flattery, but genuine.

If she had Song Zhixu's intelligence and shrewdness, she wouldn't have been ruined by Song Wuqi in her previous life.

"Everything I said is true..."

Tang Ran originally wanted to chat with Song Zhixu for a bit more to improve their rapport and lay the groundwork for future cooperation.

But he was interrupted by Song Zhixu's cell phone ringing.

The call was from Assistant Jiang.

Realizing she was on a work call, Tang Ran tactfully waved goodbye.

Song Zhixu raised her hand, signaling her to wait a moment.

Tang Ran stopped and looked at her.

Song Zhixu said "Okay" and hung up the phone. She looked at Tang Ran and smiled slightly, "Sorry."

"fine."

Tang Ran shook her head, waiting for her to continue.

Song Zhixu looked at her, her lips moved slightly, as if she hesitated for a moment, before she spoke: "If there is anything I can help you with, you can contact me anytime."

Tang Ran tilted her head in confusion.

I don't understand why Song Zhixu would suddenly say that.

It seems like she doesn't need Song Zhixu's help with anything.

Thinking of this, Tang Ran paused for a moment.

She does need Song Zhixu's help with something.

She wanted Song Zhixu to help her get rid of Song Wuqi.

It's just not appropriate to say that now.

Song Zhixu could not have guessed this.

After all, in the eyes of the Song family, Song Wuqi is still an obedient and sensible nephew and grandson.

Unable to figure out why, Tang Ran thought that Song Zhixu's words might just be a polite remark, something he said casually because of the good relationship between her mother and Aunt Jiang.

Tang Ran nodded and smiled sweetly, "I will definitely ask Sister Song for help if I need it."

She understands how adults handle things.

Hearing her words, Song Zhixu knew that Tang Ran hadn't understood what she meant.

My phone rang again.

Song Zhixu glanced at it but didn't answer the call directly.

"Sister Song, you must be busy. I'll head back now."

Seeing how busy she was, Tang Ran didn't want to bother her any longer, so she waved and turned to leave.

Song Zhixu didn't call her back, and lowered her eyes to open her phone.

After returning home, Tang Ran discovered that Miao Tiantian had sent her a series of messages around 1:00 AM.

In the afternoon at the bidding site, Tang Ran's phone was on silent and she forgot to turn it back on.

【Wuhu! Wuhu! (*^▽^*)】

[Joyful celebration, with drums and gongs.jpg]

【I'm so lucky to have met this gorgeous girl!】

Less than a minute later, Miao Tiantian sent another tearful emoji.

【Help! (ΩДΩ)!!!】

[The sky has fallen.jpg]

[This incredibly attractive client is the one who tormented me for the better part of a month!!!]

[Dreams shattered.jpg]

Why is God doing this to me?! o(╥﹏╥)o

[I couldn't take it anymore, so God plastered my doors and windows with cement.jpg]

Too much time had passed, so Tang Ran didn't reply to the message and instead called Miao Tiantian.

"Dye".

Miao Tiantian's voice was weak and listless, clearly indicating that she had exhausted her battery while revising the manuscript.

"Got terribly abused again?"

"Stop talking."

What's going on with the "Heavenly Beauty" sister?

"Let's not talk about it."

After exchanging a few casual words, Tang Ran brought up the matter.

Yesterday, Miao Tiantian met the girl she was looking for in the elevator at Shengming Mansion, and then ran into her again at a bar.

The two also went to a detective party together.

Miao Tiantian and the lovely lady teamed up and worked together perfectly, winning the MVP award. Unsurprisingly, they sparked a little flirtation.

It's rare to meet someone you click with and get along with, so Miao Tiantian is thinking of developing a relationship with them.

result.

In less than half a day, the good news turned into bad news.

Miao Tiantian went to the construction site for inspection and discovered that Miss Tiancai was the fussy client who had been tormenting her.
