Chapter 189: I knew someone was waiting to see me make a fool of myself!
As Yan Li drew closer, Xu Cheng appeared even more nervous than Xiao Ran.
"Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes!" he whispered, tilting his head to the side.
Xiao Ran rolled her eyes at him.
"You're here, what are you nervous about?"
It's as if he and Yan Li have some kind of shady secret!
Xu Cheng looked helplessly at Xiao Ran's face. He was worried for him, but it was like the emperor wasn't worried while the eunuch was!
"What a coincidence, I didn't expect to run into you here," Yan Li said casually.
A polite smile was also on his lips.
She's actually quite clear-headed now. Strangely enough, ever since she overheard those words at the entrance of her parents' building that day, she seems to have felt relieved in an instant.
As the anger in my heart dissipated, I calmed down.
Lately, I keep thinking about the things I did that hurt Xiao Ran and Yan Xici.
Today, my mom told me that someone in the neighborhood was spreading rumors about me, and Xiao Ran stood up for me.
I felt an indescribable sense of emotion.
To be honest, Aunt Wang had no idea that her daughter had been fired. After all, if she had to handle every little detail of such a large company, she would have been worked to death.
Later, she also asked Wang Meng and heard that Aunt Wang's daughter was fired because she took the wrong materials to be distributed during a meeting. Wang Meng felt that this person was always absent-minded at work.
However, to everyone's surprise, Xiao Ran was able to assert that he was definitely not targeting her without knowing anything about it.
This is undoubtedly a sign of trust in one's own character.
Unexpectedly, things have turned out this way.
He actually spoke up for me, and even stood by me without hesitation.
She was genuinely grateful to him, but also felt deeply guilty.
To be honest, during this time, she often regretted why she had done things that hurt him.
I've thought about making it up to him, but he's so outstanding now.
I can't think of anything I can do to help him.
This is also a problem that has been troubling me lately.
Seeing him again, I had very mixed feelings.
I feel a sense of helplessness.
Xiao Ran nodded. "Yes, it's a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here."
The elevator arrived, and the three of them got on together.
The two people were less than 30 centimeters apart.
Xiao Ran calmly looked at the elevator door, while Yan Li stood behind him, her eyes fixed on him.
In the end, I couldn't hold back and spoke first.
"How have you all been lately?"
She wanted to know how they were doing lately, and most importantly, whether Xiao Ran was doing well.
Xiao Ran didn't even turn his head, and said indifferently.
"Everything is fine."
They've been doing really well lately, and everything is moving in a positive direction.
I estimate that we'll get married in a few months.
These are things that he and Yan Li cannot discuss.
Yan Li pursed her lips and after a long while said, "My mother called and told me about what happened at noon today. Thank you for still being willing to defend me in front of outsiders."
She has always been very concerned about her image.
If one day I suddenly find out that people in my neighborhood are talking about me like that, I'd probably be so angry I'd explode on the spot!
I know my own temper very well.
As for his marriage proposal to Yan Xici, he already knew about it.
Yan Li was actually quite pleased that they had actually gotten married.
Xiao Ran's brows furrowed; she hadn't expected that Aunt Yan would actually call her.
Did Yan's mother tell her about her marriage proposal?
Despite her doubts, she replied casually, "It's nothing, it's all part of the job. We're family after all."
Yes, they are still family after all.
The only difference was that his status changed from her husband to her brother-in-law.
Everything seems to have changed, yet nothing seems to have changed at all.
Looking back now, I realize that a long time ago, all I felt for Xiao Ran was familial affection.
Even now, when I think of those beautiful memories they once shared, I feel no emotion.
I just can't help but think that he was actually a good person.
His words about family seemed to have struck a chord deep within his own heart.
Yan Li nodded, her eyes filled with gratitude.
"We're family. I'm so glad I can still be part of your family."
Hearing such a sentence from him was already enough to comfort her.
Yan Li has now completely accepted reality.
Thinking about it calmly, I realized that over the years, I had been too busy with work to care about either Xiao Ran or Yan Xici.
On the contrary, Xiao Ran has been taking care of his younger sister.
Young girls are naive and immature, so it's perfectly normal for her to fall for him.
It was their own harsh criticism that caused the breakdown of their sisterhood.
This caused the last remaining affection between her and Xiao Ran as ex-husband and ex-wife to be completely exhausted.
All of this is my own fault.
The elevator doors opened with a "ding".
The three people walked out of the elevator.
The fourth floor is a large banquet hall, specifically used for business banquets and weddings.
Upon entering, there is a short corridor, less than five meters long, leading to a large banquet hall.
There was also an LED screen hanging above, which displayed a message welcoming the students of Class 6, Department of Finance, 2016.
