Chapter 318: No Later
Xiang Nuan thought she had just closed her eyes for a moment, but when she opened them again it was already daybreak. It took her a while to realize that she had spent half the night on Ran Ran's bed, without even taking off her clothes.
Jiang Ranran had already disappeared. She pricked up her ears and listened. The room was completely silent. She tried to turn over, but a wave of pain came from all directions, almost making her suffocate. Especially her neck and shoulders, which were almost numb.
Ah—oh—hiss—she managed to stand up with a grimace, but as soon as she turned her head, she felt a piercing pain. It's over, could it be that she has a stiff neck? !
"Ranran?" She twisted her body like a zombie in Plants vs. Zombies and moved to the stairs. It was quiet downstairs and no one answered.
"Uncle Huo?"
Still no one.
Did he go out?
She took arduous steps to look for her phone. She finally found it at the bedside, only to discover that the phone was flashing wildly.
Countless phone calls and messages were like an army gathering at the city gate, waiting to break in. Xiang Nuan's face twisted as she flipped through the pages. Not to mention a century, the world had changed so much in the blink of an eye.
Got it...
These three words were the only ones buzzing in her mind.
Although she knew it was a sure thing, she still felt that Jiang Chao was quite awesome for actually snatching this piece of fat meat from the Jin family. It was great. After so many years of planning, she finally got what she wanted. I just don't know what expression Jin Nuoyi had on his face.
The phone rang suddenly, and she was startled.
"Open the door." Liu Yunshan went straight to the point without any nonsense.
"Where are you?"
"You're at the door, open it quickly and stop talking nonsense."
She was about to ask you to wait a few more minutes, but the call was hung up domineeringly. Okay, you just calm down at the door.
Xiang Nuan almost moved to the door with her body straight and stiff. Liu Yunshan was about to get angry, but was stunned when she saw her strange look.
"Had a stroke? Is this retribution for doing too many evil things?" She was quite vicious.
"My body hurts, not my mouth. You brought this upon yourself." Xiang Nuan widened her eyes. This was one of the few organs she could control freely.
"What's wrong with you? Are you hurt?" She walked around Xiang Nuan.
"stiff neck."
"Aren't stiff necks painful? You look like... you fell out of bed, didn't you?!"
Xiang Nuan burst out laughing, but her back started to hurt as she laughed, so she immediately turned into a grin.
"Are you here for Jiang Chao?" Xiang Nuan let her into the house.
"I'm here for the dinner tonight."
Tsk! Xiang Nuan rolled her eyes at her. Is that interesting?
"He has won the project. The auto show is in progress. The curtain of the battle has just been opened, and the excitement is yet to come." Xiang Nuan summarized the situation in a few words.
"The Jin family won't let this go. Not to mention losing their business, they won't even tolerate the humiliation of being toyed with for so long." Liu Yunshan's expression became serious, and she finally stopped hiding it.
"I will." Xiang Nuan smiled. "Find what you want to drink yourself. I can't serve you now."
"What will happen?!" Liu Yunshan didn't care about that.
"I will bear it."
"What do you mean?"
"Oh, Miss Big Star, calm down..."
Before Xiang Nuan could finish her words, a barrage of punches rained down on her.
"It hurts, it hurts!" She begged for mercy again and again.
"Aren't you in pain all over? This counts as a massage. There aren't many people who can get a back massage from me. Come on, I'm here to treat blood circulation problems, especially those who are stubborn and won't talk properly!"
"I was wrong! I'll tell you, I'll tell you!" Xiang Nuan's face flushed red, and she desperately grabbed Liu Yunshan's wrist. "Hey? Don't tell me, beating her still works, give her shoulder two more times...ah...I was wrong, I was wrong!"
Liu Yunshan stopped, but her face was also red. She stared at her with her almond-shaped eyes, waiting for her next words.
"You are so smart, can't you figure out this little thing?"
"Will you tell me or not?!"
"Speak! It's an exchange of interests, nothing else. This project is huge, and although the Jiang family has won it, they can't handle it alone, so they need to split up some of the business and seek cooperation. So, the Jin family is the best partner. In the past, they were willing to form an alliance in order to maintain balance, but now they are willing to give up the engagement for the sake of benefits. The only difference is the way of cooperation."
Liu Yunshan stopped talking and sat down quietly. This principle is so simple, simple without any emotion.
Xiang Nuan stopped teasing her and even felt a little sympathetic towards her.
"Are you saying they are talking about cooperation now?"
"I guess... yes."
Xiang Nuan wanted to say that she didn't know, and she really didn't know. She only knew that cooperation was the best way out at the moment. As for how and when, she didn't know Jiang Chao's plan. But she just had this intuition, and they were talking about it at this moment.
"So, everything is fine?" Liu Yunshan shrugged, with a hint of teasing in her eyes. Just now she was worried to death, no no no, she had been worried to death countless nights before, but now she realized that worrying was the most useless part.
"He couldn't be with you before, and now..." Xiang Nuan's voice was low and gentle, even with a hint of hesitation. If her body hadn't been unable to keep up, she might have squatted down and held her hand.
"Never again. I know." Liu Yunshan responded calmly. "He never owed me anything. I just thought..." She couldn't continue, her eyes slowly turning red.
"I just want to make a break with the past, and give myself an explanation. Let's make a clean break and give a clear explanation!" Xiang Nuan hugged her shoulders and held her in his arms. "From today on, I have nothing to worry about. Be yourself and move forward!"
Liu Yunshan's tears rolled down. She never thought that one day she would be able to talk about this matter without any scruples, and she never thought that she would lean on Xiang Nuan's shoulder without any defense.
"Uh..." Jiang Ranran and Uncle Huo came back carrying a bunch of things in large and small bags, but this did not stop their eyes from almost popping out of shock.
Mom and the Viper?!
Hug each other and cry?!
What kind of weird picture is this?!
Jiang Ranran dropped what he was holding and rushed between the two of them, forcibly separating them. He instinctively felt that Xiang Nuan was bullied, but it was the venomous snake that was crying. That meant she was deceived! But he also felt something was wrong. Could she be giving up her father? !
"No!" He hugged Xiang Nuan's legs, his eyes full of fear.
"It's not what you think." Although Xiang Nuan couldn't guess what was in his little head, she knew that he must have misunderstood.
"You little bastard, tell me what you're thinking about." Liu Yunshan wiped away her tears and rolled up her sleeves. "You ungrateful little bastard, have you forgotten how I took you in?"
Jiang Ranran took a step back and hid in Xiang Nuan's legs. Liu Yunshan pretended to catch him, but he screamed and ran away in circles.
"Let me see if you can run to the horizon?!"
Liu Yunshan was just chasing after the sound, but she wasn't crazy enough to follow him. She rolled her eyes at Xiang Nuan and said, "You two ungrateful bastards!" Then she turned around and walked away.
Xiang Nuan couldn't help laughing as she watched her soft waist twist and turn and disappear at the door. This cover-up was too obvious. She was obviously running away because she was embarrassed...
