Early in the morning, in Fu Yanci's office, Lehua's Vice President Jiang Wanru went to Fu's to discuss business.
That evening, I heard Jiang Che's name again from Lan Lan.
The siblings started responding to each other early in the morning and late at night.
Ye Li couldn't help but exclaim, "The world is truly amazing!"
Hearing Jiang Che demand a straight answer from Lan Lan, Ye Li looked at Lan Lan with amusement, "So, you came home two days early actually to avoid him?"
Lan Lan remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.
Ye Li curled her lips into a smile, then nudged Lan Lan as if she had just thought of something. "So, does Jiang Che know who you are?"
Neither Ye Li nor the Ye family ever treated Aunt Lan and Lan Lan as servants.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, Aunt Lan is the housekeeper of the Ye family, and Lan Lan is the housekeeper's daughter, so naturally they are inferior.
One is the vice president of Yuehua Entertainment, a typical young master from a wealthy and powerful family.
One of them was the housekeeper's daughter; calling her Cinderella would be an exaggeration.
These two people were destined to never cross paths from the very beginning, which is why Lan Lan never gave in.
That's why she said she had fallen for someone she shouldn't have.
Lan Lan nodded, even angrier. "When he first started pursuing me, I told him everything. I said my biological father was unknown, my mother was someone else's housekeeper, and my biggest dream in this life was to give my mother a good life. I even said that Uncle Ye and Aunt Xue treated me like their own daughter, which meant I would have three elderly people to support in the future, and being with me would put a lot of pressure on me."
"What did he say?"
Upon hearing that there was a story behind this, Ye Li pressed for details.
Lan Lan turned her head and said, "People say it's no big deal. It's just one more dad and two more moms. We'll earn money to support the family, and the two dads and three moms can travel the world together. Perfect!"
Ye Li smiled, her eyes crinkling.
I've seen Jiang Che a few times at high-society banquets, but I only have a vague impression of him. I remember him as handsome, cheerful, and well-liked.
Just like Lan Lan said, a smile upon first meeting someone makes them instantly likable.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Che, who is good at pursuing girls, is so eloquent.
Thinking back to when she saw Jiang Wanruo at the Qin family's house last night, she didn't even mention her once. She didn't know if Jiang Che had lied and not told his family, or if, as Jiang Che said, his family was open-minded and didn't care at all.
But if I were in Lan Lan's shoes, I would probably be just as conflicted as she is right now.
Ye Li sighed, "So what are you planning to do? Just dragging this out isn't going to work!"
"have no idea!"
Lan Lan shook her head, looking like she'd given up. "Let's just drag it out as long as we can. Anyway, it's almost Chinese New Year. When his family starts pressuring him to get married or arrange a marriage, he should be able to face reality then."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a gentle knock sounded on the door.
The door opened, and there stood Li Xueqing and Xiao Bao, holding hands.
Li Xueqing smiled and looked at Lan Lan, "Xiao Cao, someone is looking for you."
? ? ?
Lan Lan was taken aback.
Ye Li's eyes lit up. "Mom, who is it?"
"Jiang Che said he left his things with Xiao Cao. He called and sent WeChat messages, but Xiao Cao didn't answer or reply. He's a little anxious, so he came to check on her."
The words were meant for Ye Li, but Li Xueqing smiled knowingly, as if she had already seen through everything.
Lan Lan looked a little awkward and rushed downstairs like the wind.
Ye Li chased after him and stood by the escalator. She saw Jiang Che sitting on the sofa on the first floor, thanking Aunt Lan repeatedly and then taking the water cup with a proper posture.
A young man in his twenties, wearing a white shirt and black trousers, with a gentle and bright smile that could dazzle anyone.
There were bags and packages full of gifts at my feet.
I just don't know if he left something with Lan Lan.
But my sister just said that she didn't accept Jiang Che's confession, and the two of them don't live together. What could Jiang Che have left with my sister?
Before Ye Li could even finish her rambling, Lan Lan had already arrived downstairs.
"Who sent you?"
Deliberately avoiding looking at her mother who kept staring at her, Lan Lan looked at Jiang Che with a cold face and said, "Come out with me!"
"good!"
Jiang, the young yet authoritative vice president of Lehua Group, seemed to turn into an obedient younger brother in front of Lan Lan.
"Auntie, I'll be going now. I'll come see you again another day!"
Nodding slightly, Jiang Che took a few quick steps and followed Lan Lan out the door.
Ye Li held Xiao Bao's hand, while Li Xueqing linked arms with Aunt Lan.
Four people, eight pairs of eyes, craned their necks and stared intently at the two figures walking further and further away until they disappeared from sight.
Standing in front of the car next to the nursery, Lan Lan glared angrily at the man who was looking at her with a smile in his eyes. "Jiang Che, what do you mean? When did I take your things? What did you leave here with me?"
