in the base.
"Boss, Li Anran has contacted us several times already. Do you think we should respond?"
The task that the boss assigned to Li Anran was known only to a few people in the base, and it seemed to be a very important mission.
If we ignore it like this, what if the mission fails? Does the boss really not care?
"How many times has this happened?" Lu Jianming asked casually.
The younger brother thought for a moment, "This is the fifth time."
It's not easy for those sent out to contact the base.
Because the contact information changes every day, and it can only be used once.
Judging by the timeline, Li Anran has been doing this for at least five days.
"Ignore her."
He could no longer count on Li Anran; what would become of her in the future was none of the base's business.
As for how Lu Shen wants to deal with it, that's up to him.
Ali lowered her head and thought for a while before stepping forward and speaking.
"Boss, why don't we send someone to see Li Anran?"
"If we let her continue to act recklessly like this, sooner or later, Lu Shen will find you by following the trail she uses to contact the base."
"Didn't you say before that it's not the right time for you and Lu Shen to meet?"
She couldn't care whether Li Anran was dead or alive.
But we can't let it affect the boss's plans under any circumstances.
Lu Jianming nodded to Ali with satisfaction.
"You're very thoughtful."
He then instructed his underlings, "If Ali says it's okay, do as she says."
"Find someone to make contact with Li Anran, but don't let Lu Shen's people find out."
"Listen to what she really wants to do."
In the back garden of the Lu family, Li Anran looked worried and had no mood for a walk.
The old lady noticed her unusual behavior and asked her a question.
"Anran, what's wrong with you these past two days?"
"You seem so distracted, did you have a fight with Ah Shen?"
Li Anran suddenly looked up, immediately concealing her worried expression and adopting her usual obedient demeanor.
"No, Ah Shen and I are doing fine, we haven't argued."
"Grandma, don't worry too much."
Normally, Li Anran would have been able to quickly conceal her emotions the moment the old lady cast a curious glance at her.
But lately I've been worried that I'll be exposed and punished by the boss and Lu Shen.
The reaction speed was much slower than before, which was just enough for the old lady to notice.
The old lady was startled.
Is An Ran putting on an act in front of her too?
She felt a tightness in her chest and suddenly lost the desire to continue her walk.
He then said to Li Anran, "I really am getting old. I've only walked a few steps and I already feel a bit tired."
"Anran, play here by yourself for a while. Grandma needs to go back and rest first."
Li Anran did not try to stop him.
She already has so many worries of her own, and with this old woman here, she only feels annoyed.
"Okay, Grandma, then get some rest."
After the old lady left, she opened her phone again, and the message was still at the time she sent it.
There has still been no news from the base about a meeting with her.
"how so?"
She's been trying to contact them for so long, there's no reason why the base wouldn't have seen it.
In addition to online communication, she also went to the base's unique contact points.
But the result was the same; she received no response.
My boss hasn't replied to my messages yet. Could it be that he's abandoned me?
Thinking of this, she was suddenly drenched in a cold sweat.
Just then, a message suddenly came through my hand.
Tell her to go to a designated restaurant, hand the note to the waiter, and someone will come out to meet her.
"It's good that someone is willing to come back."
But she can't go out right now; she still needs to find a suitable opportunity to leave without arousing Lu Shen's suspicion.
Upstairs, the old lady gazed thoughtfully at Li Anran in the back garden below.
"Madam, weren't you going to rest?"
Upon entering the room, the maid focused on making the bed for the old lady, while the old lady walked to the window, seemingly having no intention of resting.
"You've been by my side for quite a long time."
Do you know why I'm so happy to have Li Anran as my granddaughter-in-law?
The maid looked puzzled.
Why would the old lady ask such a question out of the blue?
Could it be that the old lady has already seen through Li Anran's disguise?
Although they saw Li Anran clearly, they still dared not speak directly to the old lady.
"Because Miss Li comes from a wealthy family? And her status is better than Miss Jian's back then?"
In their view, the reason why the old lady always disliked Miss Jane was because of her job.
This is what the old lady hates the most.
Upon hearing this, the old lady shook her head.
"Not entirely. I disliked Jian Ruoxi back then because I thought that people in the entertainment industry were all cunning and scheming."
"They're all actors; it's hard for normal people to tell which of their statements are true and which are false."
"And back then..."
Her own past experiences have instilled in her a natural distrust of the entertainment industry.
The maid knew what the old lady cared about most, so she didn't ask any further questions.
The topic was steered back to Li Anran.
"So, do you still insist that Miss Li is your future granddaughter-in-law?"
If the old lady still insisted, she probably wouldn't have asked this question.
The old lady shook her head. "I don't know anymore."
She had just noticed how quickly Li Anran's expression changed, and it was hard to convince herself otherwise.
An Ran is different from before; she's good at disguising herself.
Even she had to keep it from him; was it because she wasn't good enough to An Ran?
The maid noticed the old lady's confusion and stepped forward to speak.
"Madam, there's something I've wanted to say for a long time, and it's about Miss Li."
The old lady used to be extremely protective of Li Anran, and would not tolerate anyone showing her the slightest disrespect.
They wanted to say something, but they didn't dare to speak up easily.
Now the old lady herself has realized that this is a good opportunity.
"you say."
This time, she wanted to hear a different perspective.
"Madam, it is true that Miss Li comes from a prestigious family, but she has not received a good upbringing, and the Li family did not pay much attention to her before."
She knew that An Ran had once cried to her about this.
"In your presence, Miss Li is poised, kind, and sensible."
"Have any of the maids noticed that when you're not around, Miss Li sometimes acts like a completely different person?"
"Go on."
The servant, having been given permission, then spoke freely.
"On the contrary, although Miss Jane comes from a humble background, she is sincere to people, and she only uses her acting skills on television."
"In reality, she is just as kind to everyone, no matter the time."
The old lady hadn't noticed this before.
Because she had always been using the darkest thoughts to judge Jian Ruoxi, she ended up misjudging her.
