"Miss, it seems that Li Anran has encountered some trouble at Lu's Company recently, and she has been coming home quite late."
Moreover, even in the shadows, they could clearly sense Li Anran's sorrow; the dark lines on his forehead seemed to have never faded.
"If the young lady goes back now, she might just run into her."
Lu Jin immediately perked up, "Great! Ali, let's go back now and give Li Anran a surprise."
As soon as the two stepped into the Lu family's gate, Lu Jin noticed that the servants guarding the door were huddled together, pacing anxiously.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
The servants were very excited to see Lu Jin arrive, as if they had seen a lifeline.
"Miss, it's so wonderful that you could come."
"Is Li Anran talking to her grandmother inside?"
Most of the servants were ushered out, presumably because the people inside had something important to say.
Do you know what they're saying inside?
A slightly older maid who was specifically there to serve the old lady came out last and heard the beginning of the conversation.
"I didn't hear much, but I can guess what Miss Li was going to say next. It seems that she wanted the old lady to step in and teach the people in the company a lesson."
“Miss, as you know, if the old lady really listens to Miss Li, it will definitely anger the young master.”
Moreover, she could tell that this Miss Li was only thinking about herself and didn't care at all whether doing so would cause a rift between the young master and the old lady.
"It seems that during the time I was away from home, Li Anran really thought of herself as someone important."
"Open the door!"
"Grandma, you have no idea how much I've been bullied by that woman at work lately. I can't even hold my head up high anymore."
"If the future young mistress of the Lu family loses face, won't the Lu family also lose face?"
She tried many methods at the company, but none of them could get rid of Zhan Yaxin. She hinted to Yang Quan several times, but he just laughed it off.
Lu Shen is rarely seen, and now the only person who can help her is this old woman.
"What a joke! You're a disgrace. What does that have to do with the Lu family? You're not even married into the family yet, and you're already so eager to tie yourself to the Lu family."
"Li Anran, you'd better not make your intentions too obvious."
Lu Jin? Hasn't she always been living outside?
Why are you back today?
Hearing Lu Jin's sarcastic tone, Li Anran knew inwardly that something was wrong.
Lu Jin overheard most of what was said earlier, so it seems unlikely that he can ask the old woman to intervene.
She turned around to greet Lu Jin, and in the instant she looked up, she saw Ali standing next to Lu Jin.
"Ali, what are you doing here?"
Ali tilted her head, looking at Li Anran with a smile, but her eyes held a chilling coldness.
"Miss Li, what a coincidence, we meet again."
The old lady looked at Ali for a long time before remembering this person and pointing at Ali with a puzzled expression.
"Wait, I seem to remember you just ran away back then?"
Before Ali could speak, Lu Jin stepped forward and pushed Li Anran out.
“Ali didn’t run away. She got lost that day and I found her later.”
"Seeing that I was living alone, she took the initiative to come to my house to take care of me."
The old lady was satisfied with Lu Jin's explanation, and her gaze towards Ali softened somewhat.
"I see. With you by my side taking care of Miss, I feel at ease."
Li Anran stood to the side, trembling slightly. She still vividly remembered the beatings and scoldings Ali had inflicted on her that night.
"Miss Li, aren't you happy to see me again?"
Ali deliberately struck up a conversation with her, and the more terrified Li Anran was, the happier she became.
"Happy, of course I'm happy."
The old lady had just praised Ali, so what could she say? Her smile was forced.
“Grandma, my brother can manage his own company. If we interfere, just imagine how angry he would be, given his temper.”
"Besides, isn't Li Anran the future young mistress? Now is the time for her to hone herself. If she can't even handle a small employee, who will truly trust her as the young mistress in the future?"
Lu Jin persuaded the old lady with just a few words.
Li Anran's efforts were all wasted.
Finally, Lu Jin didn't forget to ask Li Anran's opinion, "Li Anran, do you agree with what I said?"
She really wanted to say no, but Ali was right behind her.
It's obvious that Ali is now on the same side as Lu Jin. Do I still have the right to refuse?
“Lu Jin is right. I will handle this myself, so there’s no need to trouble Grandma.”
Seeing Li Anran's discomfiture put Lu Jin in a great mood, and he spent a long time complaining about Li Anran before finally falling asleep.
As night fell, Li Anran hid in her room, not even daring to get into bed, and locked the door twice, fearing that Ali would break in.
"You think this will stop me from getting in?"
"Li Anran, you really underestimate me."
Ali appeared at the window at some point, glancing sideways at Li Anran, who was squatting on the ground, as if she were looking at a dead person.
"I am concerned about what the boss said, and I will familiarize myself with the finance department's operations as soon as possible."
Are you so afraid of her that she's like this?
Li Anran's actions completely extinguished any interest in teaching her a lesson.
“But what I just heard doesn’t seem to be the case, Li Anran. I’m warning you one last time.”
"The boss wants all of Lu's Company's financial data for the past three months. You'd better collect it as soon as possible."
"If you continue to indulge in this childish game of scheming and intrigue, I don't know what the boss will do to you, but I will be the first one to not let you off the hook!"
Li Anran was so frightened that she squatted on the ground, covered her head with her hands, and dared not look into Ali's eyes.
"I promise I won't."
If she had known that Ali would be coming with Lu Jin today, she would never have dared to tell the old lady about company matters.
Startled by Ali's words, Li Anran had no choice but to seriously consider how to collect financial data without anyone noticing.
On the other side, Jian Ruoxi also couldn't fall asleep.
Lu Shen was right outside, so close to her.
She could even hear her own heartbeat.
"Forget it, I'll just get up and watch a movie to practice my acting skills."
As soon as I turned on my computer, I was immediately bombarded with heartwarming news about the entertainment industry.
As is her usual habit, she rarely looks at these things.
Just as she was about to close the window, she suddenly saw her name on it.
Rising star Jian Ruoxi has neglected her parents for many years and cruelly kicked her family out.
What kind of nonsense is this? It's a complete distortion of the facts.
Also, how did the media find out about what happened at home today?
"Could it be that someone deliberately designed this?"
Who could be behind this on her?
Jian Ruoxi's first thought was Jian Mengyu.
But then I thought, Jian Mengyu has already handed over the insurance money, she doesn't have the ability to contact so many media outlets all at once.
