Chapter 8 Her arrival will surely scare those madmen...
Pei Ci: "..."
Lu Ran's words left Pei Ci speechless.
However, Lu Ran quickly added, "I don't have any particular preferences. As long as my family background is similar to mine and my parents are satisfied, that's fine."
Pei Ci: "..."
Undeterred, she asked, "What if neither of them?"
Lu Ran remained silent.
Is the Pei family going bankrupt?
He said in a serious tone, "I will not allow this to happen."
Pei Ci: "..."
No matter how you look at it, there's no way Lu Ran could fall in love with Ye Qingyu.
Just as she was pondering, Lu Ran's voice suddenly came, "What are you thinking about?"
Pei Ci looked up and saw Lu Ran standing in front of her, seemingly out of nowhere.
Lu Ran was looking at her, his back bent, very close to her, breathing heavily.
Pei Ci frowned and nudged Lu Ran. Lu Ran didn't move, like a wall of flesh. His burning body temperature made it difficult for Pei Ci to breathe, and a feeling of irritation welled up inside her.
Lu Ran was still speaking in her ear, seemingly asking if she liked him and telling her not to misunderstand. Pei Ci couldn't hear clearly; she was somewhat dazed, and this restless emotion desperately needed to be released. Pei Ci knew she was having an episode, and besides medication, she needed to control herself. Hold it in, Pei Ci told herself to hold it in. But the next second, she slapped Lu Ran across the face.
Lu Ran's head was knocked to one side, and he licked his lips, seemingly lost in thought.
The scene shifted back to that night, to the pitch-black room where only a few cigarette butts on her stomach glowed. She reached for her phone and turned on the light. In the light, she saw Lu Ran's face, covered in cold sweat. His eyes were so dark, almost swallowed by the night, as he silently watched her.
The same is true now.
He looked at her the same way, without showing any anger.
Pei Ci was thus pleased, feeling a strange sense of comfort, yet also annoyed at her inability to control her body. Torn between these two emotions, she clenched her fists, pressed her lips together, and said coldly, "You're too close."
"Not ready yet?"
Lu Ran, who was still being slapped, frowned and asked.
Pei Ci remained silent.
"The Zhou family's technology is just so-so," Lu Ran muttered, his expression immediately turning serious. "What are you planning to do next?"
“This is my own business,” Pei Ci said.
“Okay,” Lu Ran said, “but since I answered your question, you should answer mine too.”
"What kind of guy do you like?" Lu Ran asked.
The boy I like?
Pei Ci belatedly realized that she was the male lead's white moonlight. And judging from Lu Ran's various attitudes towards her, even after the collapse, the setting of her being Lu Ran's white moonlight remained unchanged.
No wonder Lu Ran, despite his bad temper, was surprisingly easy to talk to in front of her. She had kept her return to the country a secret, yet she found out all her whereabouts that very night. Even those actions she thought Lu Ran was taking to maintain the Lu family's reputation were actually driven by jealousy and possessiveness.
In that case, the task becomes much easier.
She could first transform Lu Ran into Ye Qingyu's type, making Ye Qingyu fall in love with Lu Ran. Then, the plot would turn the "white moonlight" into a mere mosquito bite.
Her appearance will teach Lu Ran a harsh lesson, showing him how wicked a girl from a good family like her can be, and ultimately leading him to fall into Ye Qingyu's gentle embrace.
All that's needed is for Lu Ran to reform himself, and for Ye Qingyu to change him to whatever form she likes.
Create opportunities for Ye Qingyu and Lu Ran to spend time together and for Ye Qingyu to fall in love with Lu Ran.
Betrayal and hurt once again.
What does Ye Qingyu like?
Pei Ci pondered for a few seconds, and under Lu Ran's gaze, she slowly said, "I like good students."
"Good family background, good grades, good character, and good interpersonal relationships."
Her long, dark hair fell to the side of her face. Pei Ci blinked her beautiful eyes and stared intently at Lu Ran's face. "Are you a good student?"
Lu Ran's heart pounded wildly.
Lu Ran walked out of the Pei residence feeling refreshed.
Such a good mood naturally surprised Jinglin.
"Brother, what good news happened? Share it with me!" Jinglin, who had just emerged from the night, still carried the scent of expensive perfume from the club.
Lu Ran disliked his perfume and pushed him away.
Jinglin didn't seem to mind, smoothing his hair down to his neck. "Is it about your sister-in-law?"
Lu Ran still wouldn't say anything, no matter how Ren Jinglin guessed. Jinglin had no choice but to give up. He took out a car key from his pocket, "Brother, let's go racing this afternoon, it's a brand new model I just got."
Lu Ran is full of energy, probably because he's been cooped up with Pei Ci for too long. He loves extreme sports, such as drumming, skydiving, and racing cars. The more exciting, the better.
But Lu Ran refused this time.
"Ah, no. Bro, what's gotten into you?"
"I need to study hard, you go ahead." After saying that, Lu Ran took the "Anta Code" he was going to study and walked towards the classroom.
Jinglin was left dumbfounded.
Jinglin was extremely anxious.
What exactly did Cici say to this idiot to make him act like this?
I really want to know.
However, Lu Ran had already become suspicious of him, so he still needed to be careful. With that thought, he turned and headed towards where Ye Qingyu was having her class.
This was not only to dispel Lu Ran's doubts, but also because his intuition told him that pursuing Ye Qingyu might yield unexpected results with Cici.
Meanwhile, the school also received news that Pei Ci had transferred schools.
"President, what are you thinking about?"
In the office, the president's assistant, Xiao Chen, asked softly.
The person being questioned was a black-haired boy wearing glasses, dressed in the white and black uniform of Anta School. He stood tall and straight, with a formulaic smile on his face, like a perfect mannequin.
An Yinyou's ability to become the president of the Anta Academy student council is undoubtedly due to his exceptional qualities. He was born into a typical political family in Anta; his father was the leader of the House of Commons, representing the interests of the lower and middle classes, in contrast to the House of Lords, where Lu Ran's mother resided. An Yinyou himself was also very capable, handling everything perfectly from childhood to adulthood. He possessed leadership qualities while maintaining a gentle temperament, never losing his temper.
At this moment, the president stared at the page of transfer student applications for several minutes. He stroked the photo in the upper left corner of the page, closed the roster, and said to the student affairs assistant who had reminded him:
"Is the form ready?"
President's Assistant: "..."
"I'll do it right away!!" The president's assistant quickly buried his head in the computer.
An Yinyou said, "We can stop doing it for now. Notify all student council members to check the newly arrived medical equipment and medicines in the infirmary and report back to me after confirming that everything is in order."
"Huh?" Assistant Chen was confused. "Why are they suddenly checking the infirmary?"
“A transfer student is coming in a week,” An Yinyou said. “The eldest daughter of the Pei family.”
Xiao Chen was taken aback. If we're talking about well-known families in Anta, one is the Lu family, and the other is the Pei family. The Lu family is integrated in the military and political spheres, practically controlling half of the country's lifeline. Anyone related to the Lu family can have a place in the Anta regime.
The Pei family is a world-renowned arms dealer. More than a decade ago, four out of every ten guns on the battlefield came from the Pei family.
Of course, the Pei family's business is now gradually shifting towards charity and public welfare, and its influence has declined somewhat.
The reason for such a big change is mainly because of this eldest daughter of the Pei family.
"More than money, I think the Pei family needs to accumulate merit right now." Pei Chi, the young head of the Pei family, said with a smile in front of the bright flashing lights, "If possible, please pray that my sister's illness will be cured."
"Mr. Pei has a younger sister?" the interviewer asked. "What illness does Mr. Pei's sister have?"
Pei Chi remained silent, the light illuminating his handsome yet sharp face, which exuded absolute composure and confidence.
"She will get better."
Because of this interview, everyone learned that President Pei has a sick younger sister. What impressed the people at Anta Academy even more was that this young lady, whom they had only heard of but never seen, had a complicated relationship with Lu Ran.
"The eldest daughter of the Pei family, she's Lu Ran's betrothed, everyone in the industry knows that."
"No way, even if it's a business marriage, Lu Ran wouldn't marry a sickly woman, would he? Would she look good sitting at home?"
"Be careful what you say and do. If that young master sees this, he'll cause a huge uproar."
"It's fake, isn't it?"
Who is Lu Ran?
Even if she has an unpredictable personality and can't compare to Chairman An in terms of interpersonal skills, given her family background and appearance, it's considered lucky for a sickly woman like her to marry into that family.
But in these widely circulated rumors, Lu Ran, who was arrogant in any topic, seemed to be a completely different person.
Xiao Chen simply couldn't imagine that this young master Lu would humbly like someone, as the rumors suggested.
"Are you curious, Xiao Chen?"
Chairman An's voice interrupted Xiao Chen's thoughts, and Xiao Chen nodded.
“I’m sure everyone is curious too.” An Yinyou’s lips curled up slightly. “Then let’s spread the news that Miss Pei has come to the school.”
Knowing that Pei Ci was back, those lunatics all became more well-behaved.
