After Su Yu returned home, she told Chu Qin about Xiao Ran's announcement of their engagement on Weibo. Overjoyed, Chu Qin took Su Yu out for a lavish meal and had a dress custom-made. She wanted to make Su Yu look beautiful so that she would be worthy of Xiao Ran's status as the heir of the Xiao family.
When Su Yu was choosing a dress, she wanted to hear Xiao Ran's opinion, so she called Xiao Ran several times, but Xiao Ran didn't answer any of her calls.
Su Yu panicked. She couldn't help but want to go to the Xiao family to find Xiao Ran, but Chu Qin stopped her.
Chu Qin said that since Xiao Ran had already announced his engagement, this matter was definitely unchangeable. Chu Qin told her that girls should learn to be reserved so that they could keep men in check.
So Su Yu had been holding back until now before finally calling Xiao Ran, and she was surprised that the call was actually answered.
She now realized that Chu Qin was right; Xiao Ran had actually answered her call this time, proving that her extreme efforts had paid off.
Xiao Ran listened to Su Yu's accusations, responded indifferently, and then casually said, "I was practicing the piano when you called, I didn't hear it. Did you call for something?"
"Of course there's something going on. I'm so happy today. You ignored me before, and I thought you were still angry with me. It's so good that you're not angry now. Is it true that we're engaged, Brother Xiaoran? I've finally waited for this day."
Su Yu's tone was particularly excited. Today, Xiao Ran's announcement of his engagement seemed to have given her a sense of reassurance. She no longer had to worry that Xiao Ran would ignore her or abandon her.
Hearing Su Yu's excited tone on the phone, Xiao Ran's lips curled up slightly, but the pain from his cracked lips made him gasp involuntarily.
"Of course it's true. It's getting late, you should go to sleep. There will be an unexpected surprise tomorrow!"
Xiao Ran used his slender fingers to suppress the slight upturn of his lips. He was looking forward to seeing how the Wen family would react when they found out he was no longer the heir of the Xiao family. Would they be so angry that they fainted?
"Brother Xiao Ran, what does tomorrow's matter have to do with me? You wouldn't..."
At this moment, Su Yu's mind was filled with the scene of Xiao Ran's marriage proposal, and she almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Hearing Su Yu's excited tone, Xiao Ran unconsciously snorted, but he didn't say a word more. He simply said "Goodnight" and hung up the phone.
Instead of being upset when the call was hung up on, Su Yu excitedly ran downstairs to find Chu Qin, eager to tell her the good news that Xiao Ran was getting engaged to her.
Chu Qin, who was doing her skincare routine, was happy to congratulate Su Yu when she heard her words. Su Yu had finally gotten her revenge; her daughter was indeed more successful.
She had been deliberately kind to Wen Lu while ignoring Su Yu, hoping that Wen Lu and Xiao Ran could be used by the Wen family after they got together.
It seems that Su Yu is the one who has the best way. She not only won Xiao Ran's heart, but also made him treat her so well. Her daughter is a really smart girl.
"You are such a good baby. Since Xiao Ran said he would give you a surprise tomorrow, you should dress up nicely and let them see who the real little princess is."
Chu Qin's words instantly shattered the proud and arrogant feelings in Su Yu's heart.
Although the Wen family has not yet held a formal return ceremony for her, the upper-class circles already know that Wen Lu has been kicked out of the Wen family, and she has become the rightful eldest daughter of the Wen family.
Su Yu had previously worried that a powerful family might actually want to adopt Wen Lu, but she later learned that those people were just talking and that no one was really willing to take on a trouble like Wen Lu.
The next morning, Wen Lu came out of the dormitory and saw Zhuge Peng standing not far from the dormitory building. He was carrying three breakfasts in his hands. When he saw Wen Lu and the other two, he quickly ran over.
Zhuge Peng held up the breakfast in his hand in front of Wen Lu, looking like he was offering a tribute, trying to please Wen Lu.
Wen Lu looked at the breakfast in his hand, showing no intention of taking it, and simply glanced at Zhuge Peng indifferently.
"I heard the cafeteria breakfast is pretty good, so you don't need to try to please me like this."
As Wen Lu spoke, she turned and tried to leave. She was unwilling to accept Zhuge Peng's overtures. Some things are wrong, and an apology is not enough.
Zhuge Peng watched Wen Lu's departing figure without making a move to stop him. He knew how much Wen Lu hated him now, and if he made a move, Wen Lu might become even more disgusted.
Qian Lailai looked at Zhuge Peng's dejected expression, smiled gently, slowly approached him, then reached out and poked his shoulder, asking uncertainly.
"Do you really want Wen Lu to forgive you?"
Qian Lailai's big eyes darted around, and a mischievous idea popped into her head. She thought she could use Zhuge Peng to call Su Yu out; otherwise, she really didn't know how to get Su Yu to come out.
If Su Yu doesn't come out, then she won't be able to catch the little ghost on her body.
The longer the little devil stays by Su Yu's side, the more dangerous it becomes. Yesterday, the little devil almost lost control of his emotions again.
"Tell me, what should I do?"
Xiao Ran looked at Qian Lailai with anticipation, really wanting to know how to get Wen Lu's forgiveness.
"At noon, try to arrange to meet Su Yu at the back playground of the school. Wen Lu wants to have a few words with Su Yu alone. Don't worry, Wen Lu will definitely not hurt Su Yu. She just has a few words she wants to say to Su Yu."
After Qian Lailai finished speaking, she gave Zhuge Peng a knowing smile. Zhuge Peng frowned as he looked at Qian Lailai. He didn't know whether he should agree to Qian Lailai's request, after all, he didn't want to make any more mistakes.
He used to be Su Yu's lapdog and hurt Dong Zhimeng. Now he's afraid that he'll hurt Su Yu again because he listened to Wen Lu.
Even though he knew Su Yu wasn't a good person, she was still someone he had genuinely loved, and he didn't want to hurt her.
Seeing Zhuge Peng's conflicted expression, Qian Lailai gently pursed her lips. Sure enough, she had been too naive. She thought Zhuge Peng had given up on Su Yu, but she was overthinking it. Zhuge Peng would never do anything to harm Su Yu.
"Fine, since you're unwilling, I won't force you. Just pretend I didn't say anything."
Qian Lailai didn't say anything more and went to chase after Wen Lu and Dong Zhimeng with a smile. She followed behind Wen Lu like a happy little bird, completely without the restraint she had when she first came to school.
Zhuge Peng stared at Wen Lu's retreating figure, standing there hesitantly for a long time before finally looking away. He didn't know whether this decision was right or wrong.
But... he knew he had already missed a chance to be friends with Wen Lu, and no matter what he did in the future, Wen Lu would never forgive him.
