But why? Why doesn't Fang Lan fall for him?
They had clearly cleaned up all the mess, so the Fang family couldn't possibly know anything.
Xu Chaosheng pressed his tongue against his upper palate. Fang Lan had truly piqued his interest this time. Was she playing hard to get, or was she genuinely uninterested in him?
Fang Lan returned to the classroom looking dejected. Lin Ruanruan looked up from her exercises and glanced at him. Considering the students who were taking a nap around them, she said in a low voice, "He came to see you again?"
Fang Lan nodded helplessly, "I really don't know why he's been bothering me lately."
Lin Ruanruan gazed at the azure sky outside the window, lost in thought for a moment, "Recently, the Xu family has been making quite a few moves and taking big steps. Their subsidiary, Chaoxing Entertainment, has even released several films with patriotic themes..."
Fang Lan looked at Lin Ruanruan with some surprise, not understanding why she would bring up these things.
Lin Ruanruan felt that something connected them. "This is completely different from their previous style. They used to focus on idol creation and were very much in line with the style of Japanese pirates."
"Fang Lan, you must be careful of Xu Chaosheng. Their target might be Uncle."
After all, Fang Guowei was difficult to approach, but it was much easier to approach him through Fang Lan.
Fang Lan was a little confused, wondering how Lin Ruanruan had connected his father to the recent trends in Chaoxing, but he still nodded, as he was quite obedient in this regard.
Lin Ruanruan felt uneasy. It's no wonder she suspected Xu Shi of having the most ulterior motives and malicious intentions; Xu Shi was indeed a major villain in the original book.
However, the ending of the book is nothing more than the Xu family going bankrupt due to a financial case, Xu Chaosheng and Xu Yelu being imprisoned for framing and spreading rumors, and the head of the Xu family dying in the hospital.
Xu Chaomu, the mastermind behind the scenes, fled the country and had no chance to turn his life around.
But is that really the whole truth? Did the Xu family really only break financial laws? Did Xu Chaosheng and Xu Yelu only commit a crime for which they were sentenced to just over ten years?
Hidden behind this are human trafficking cases, drug trafficking, organ trafficking, and Xu Yelu, who has long been sentenced to death.
Every single thing was telling her that the Xu family was not so simple, and that the world was not as beautiful as it seemed on the surface, but rather tainted with filth.
Lin Ruanruan looked at Fang Lan with worry. Uncle Fang was at a critical time. If something went wrong with him, the political direction could be greatly shaken, and Fang Lan was undoubtedly Uncle Fang's weakness.
If, as described in the original novel, Fang Lan experienced those things and the Fang family retaliated against the Xu family for Fang Lan's sake, wouldn't that give others leverage against them?
"Fang Lan, lately, wherever you go, you have to come with us. Even if you just go to the bathroom, call my older brother along."
She didn't understand why the Fang family had suddenly exposed Fang Lan, since everyone in the entire South Province now knew that Fang Lan was Secretary Fang's son.
But whether they were fishing or had other plans, she didn't want Fang Lan to encounter anything bad.
Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng, who was reading a book nearby, silently looked at Lin Ruan Ruan and said, "You've just arranged everything for me like this? Did you even consider my feelings?"
Lin Ruanruan patted Xuan Yuanhaocheng on the shoulder, "Big brother, you are now my own brother, I believe you will protect my sisters."
"I really don't understand your thought process..." Xuan Yuanhaocheng was speechless.
Lin Ruanruan looked at Xuan Yuanhaocheng with admiration and trust. Xuan Yuanhaocheng clicked his tongue. Why did he feel like he had two younger sisters instead of one?
Lin Ruanruan chuckled to herself. She was much bolder in front of Xuan Yuanhaocheng now. She discovered that Xuan Yuanhaocheng was actually a really good person at heart, and his aloofness was just a protective facade.
Fang Lan sat back on the stool, looking at Lin Ruanruan with some hesitation. Seeing this, Lin Ruanruan looked at Fang Lan curiously, "Are you still thinking about what happened earlier? It's okay, as long as we ignore Xu Chaosheng."
"No, why would I think about him for no reason? I'm just..." Fang Lan scratched her chin, "Can you give me Li Qin's number? I'll contact him and tell him to stop sending me things every day."
Lin Ruanruan immediately sent Li Qin's contact information to Fang Lan, "I asked him for you, but he just said that he felt you seemed to be angry with him, so he was making it up to you."
What's going on between you two?
Fang Lan opened her phone and sent a friend request to Li Qin. He looked troubled and said, "How would I know what's going on? This guy is so strange."
All I did was delete him from my game friends list, but the day after I deleted him, I kept sending him things.
Please, they have a couple's account, okay? After finding out that Li Qin thought he was a girl, he didn't log into the exploration game for quite a while.
But recently he got really addicted to the game. His account has almost every character that has been released since the game was launched, and all of their talents are maxed out. How could he bear not to log in and check on them?
He logged in for a short while, and before he had even finished claiming his return rewards, he saw Li Qin log in, which startled him so much that he immediately deleted him.
After all, he had previously told people that he had quit gaming, and while deleting people, he vaguely saw many messages from Li Qin in the friends chat box.
But he deleted the message so quickly that he didn't see what Li Qin sent him.
The very next day, this person ordered wagashi (Japanese sweets) for himself, and from then on, he would send him strange little things every day.
Lin Ruanruan felt that something was not quite right, but she didn't want to pry into her friend's privacy. After all, even the best of friends need some space.
