Chapter 98: Fake Daughter in the Entertainment Industry
“Brother Yichuan?” Su Youran looked surprised. “When did you come back?”
"Just arrived yesterday."
Lu Yichuan walked in with a smile and rubbed Su Youran's head. He had gone to Country M for a business trip, and he hadn't seen her for more than a month.
"I just saw someone who looked like you at the door, so I came over to take a look. I didn't expect it to be true."
Only Lu Yichuan himself knew how much longing and deliberate planning were contained in those simple words.
He pretended to be calm and asked:
"Do you have a date with anyone?"
“I made an appointment with Sister Tongtong!” Su Youran checked the time and was a little puzzled. “She said she was nearby. Logically, she should have arrived earlier than me. Why hasn’t she come yet?”
Lu Yichuan sat down next to her and spoke in a knowing tone:
"That guy is heartbroken again?"
Su Youran blinked and smiled without saying anything. They used to get together often, but they had all been very busy in the past two years. Especially since Jung Heechul had gone to the other side of the ocean to be a trainee. After his debut, he was even busier. He might not even be able to come back for the New Year, so they saw each other less and less.
But the contact was not cut off. The four of them had a group, and Zheng Xiche and Shi Yutong would bombard them with messages whenever they had time, so it was hard for others to not know their current situation.
"I told you from the beginning that man wasn't sincere, but he still wanted to be added to our group."
Lu Yichuan curled his lips in disdain:
"It looked unreliable, but she refused to believe it and always thought it was a poor little thing."
Su Youran patted him:
"Sister Tongtong is already feeling bad enough. She's coming soon. Don't say that to me anymore!"
Lu Yichuang gave an ambiguous smile and said, "We'll talk about it when it really comes."
As expected, Shi Yutong called right after that, and started crying:
"Ranran, I can't come! Woohoo, I just ran into our teacher and was drafted! Why am I so unlucky! How could it be such a coincidence?! Sorry, Ranran..."
“It’s okay.” Su Youran said in a gentle and soothing tone, “We see each other every day, so we don’t need to worry about this moment. We can make the same appointment again later.”
After saying a few words, Shi Yutong's voice urged them and they hung up the phone.
Lu Yichuan remained calm:
"Can't come?"
Su Youran shrugged helplessly:
"Yeah, the teacher asked me to help."
Lu Yichuan asked casually:
"Do you have anything else to do later?"
“No.” Su Youran shook her head. It was hard not to laugh. “I was planning to stay with Sister Tongtong until the evening.”
I guess it's not necessary. Being busy is one of the best ways to forget emotional pain. Maybe after Shi Yutong finishes her work today, she will go home and fall asleep, and forget everything tomorrow morning.
"Then accompany me to buy a present? My mother's birthday is coming up, and I have no idea what to get her."
Lu Yichuan pretended to frown in distress:
"You also know that she was never satisfied with the gifts I gave her in previous years."
Su Youran couldn't help but laugh. How could she not like a gift from her own son? It was just that Mrs. Lu Xiao Guan was a hypocrite. She thought that Lu Yichuan was still in the early stages of his business and didn't want him to spend money recklessly.
Only the straight man Lu Yichuan would really take that as disgust.
She readily agreed:
"Okay! I'll prepare one for Aunt Xiao as well. I haven't seen her for a long time. Are Uncle Lu and the others all right?"
"It's pretty good. I'm either playing here or there all day long. I'm having so much fun that I don't want to leave."
Lu Yichuan helped Su Youran hold her bag with one hand and held her in his arms with the other hand as they walked out. This was an antique teahouse, and there was a long corridor leading out of the private room.
Lu Yichuan asked Su Youran to walk on the inside while he walked on the outside to prevent others from having the chance to touch her.
Lu Yichuan has been doing this since he was a child, so Su Youran is used to it. As she walked, she listened to Lu Yichuan talking about some interesting stories about his parents, and she couldn't help but laugh when she heard something interesting.
An overly delicate face will give people a sense of unreal coldness when not smiling, but when smiling it is as if thousands of pear trees are in bloom. A real smile is like a flower, beautiful beyond words.
People coming and going couldn't help but look at her, but she seemed unaware of anything. Her eyes and brows were filled with relaxation and joy, and it was obvious that she was in a good mood.
Le Tiansheng stood at the door and looked at her, stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the person who had kept him tossing and turning all night would appear in front of him again so soon.
Still... so happy.
It seemed as if everything that happened the night before was just his imagination.
"What's wrong?"
Le Boyuan was halfway through his words when no one responded. He frowned slightly and looked at him, then looked forward in the direction of his gaze. A flash of surprise passed through his mind, and he subconsciously glanced behind him.
Chen Xueqing's body had already become stiff, and she didn't know what to do with her hands and feet, but her eyes were fixed on the figure in front of her without blinking, with greed and attachment.
She grew up...
She's really pretty...even prettier than on TV...
Time flies so fast. Chen Xueqing felt that the scene of her sitting in the taxi and looking at her crying outside the car seemed like it was just yesterday. Only when they met again did she realize the cruelty of time.
The little guy has grown into an adult.
Chen Xueqing was a little dazed. It turned out that fifteen years had already passed?
Lu Yichuan and Su Youran turned the corner and came face to face with the three people standing at the door.
Su Youran's smile faded away and she nodded politely to Le Tiansheng:
"Brother Le, what a coincidence."
Looking at Le Boyuan, who looked very similar to him but older, he had some guesses in his mind and smiled slightly:
"Hello."
As for Chen Xueqing, Le Boyuan intentionally or unintentionally blocked most of her body. She herself didn't know what was going on in her mind. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look over there again.
Le Boyuan nodded in a friendly manner. He was a very charming child. No wonder...
He looked at Le Tiansheng. Nothing could be seen on Le Tiansheng's face. He was calm and composed. Except for his eyes being a little softer, nothing else had changed:
"What a coincidence, are you leaving now?"
The hands inserted into his suit trousers were clenched into fists.
That's not what he wants to ask. He wants to ask if you are dating? Is he...your boyfriend?
There was no need to ask who the man was. They were in the same circle. Although they didn't socialize much, they had met each other on certain occasions.
Besides, this man is not an unknown person. The "Yi Ran" CP is still in the top ten of the Weibo CP list.
Childhood sweethearts...
Lu Yichuan was quick to sense something and moved his obvious lady's bag to his other hand. He naturally held Su Youran's hand with that hand, lowered his eyes to look at her, and said softly:
"Let's go."
From gesture to tone, everything demonstrates sovereignty.
Le Boyuan raised his eyebrows, Le Tiansheng's eyes darkened, but Su Youran was the only one who showed no signs of abnormality.
A few people exchanged a few pleasantries and passed by each other. Two people walked out, three walked in, and the five people had five different thoughts.
Lu Yichuang: When did Ranran get to know the Le family?
Le Boyuan: Oh, the young people nowadays are really straightforward.
Le Tiansheng: What kind of brother is this?
Chen Xueqing: Will she still recognize me?
Su Youran: ...
There was no ripple in my heart.
Le Tiansheng took one last look at Su Youran’s back, picked up his phone, took a picture, and uploaded it to his friend group.
Le: I met Ranran in xx. It was such a coincidence that I met her for two consecutive days. She seemed to be in a good mood today.
Zhou Mu: You two are so destined to meet each other, aren’t you?
Chen Mochu: ...
Kong Yunting: Who is that person next to you?
He enlarged the photo again and again, frowning. In the photo, the two of them were shoulder to shoulder, holding hands. Are they that intimate? !
Le Tiansheng: Lu Yichuan, oh, he’s the one who participated in the variety show with her. Childhood sweethearts are really different.
Zhou Mu: Are they in love?
Chen Mochu: ...
Kong Yunting: Bullshit!
He immediately invited someone to join the group.
Xie Tianhua:?
Kong Yunting: Screenshot of previous chat.jpg
Kong Yunting: Back view.jpg
Kong Yunting: You couldn't even go out yesterday, but today you can be alone with a boy? Does your uncle not care?
Xie Tianhua: ...I'll make a call later.
Le Tiansheng waited silently, and five minutes later:
Xie Tianhua: Ranran went to meet her best friend, and she met Lu Yichuan just by chance.
Le Tiansheng: When I saw them, there were only two of them.
Xie Tianhua: The girl had something urgent to do and couldn’t go.
Kong Yunting: Haha, that’s such a coincidence.
Chen Mochu: ...
Zhou Mu peeped at the screen excitedly but did not dare to speak.
Xie Tianhua: Brother Kong, Ranran has the right to make friends.
Kong Yunting: Then don’t treat me differently. You’re guarding against me like a thief. How can you even hold hands with this Lu Yichuan?
Xie Tianhua: …
In a flash, a few small words appeared on the screen: Your friend Xie Tianhua has left the group chat.
Zhou Mu: ...
Chen Mochu: ...
Le Tiansheng: Um, should I not post this photo?
Kong Yunting stared at Le Tiansheng's portrait in a daze. After a while, he gently pulled the corner of his mouth and revealed a slightly sarcastic smile.
Su Youran put down her phone, and Lu Yichuan asked casually:
"Is this Brother Tianhua? Why are you calling at this time? What did you say?"
Su Youran shook her head in confusion.
"Nothing, just asking what I'm doing."
Lu Yichuan picked up a diamond necklace on the counter and examined it carefully, with a nonchalant look on his face:
"It's a coincidence. We just ran into the Le family and then Brother Tianhua called us."
He seemed to be joking:
"Could it be Brother Le who reported it?"
Su Youran frowned, a little hesitant:
"No way? Why would he do that?"
"Who knows?" Lu Yichuan picked up another jadeite and said in a more indifferent tone: "Some people are just so boring."
Su Youran pouted, not very happy. No one likes being watched by others all the time, and having to report who they are with and what they are doing.
Even Xie Yan would never ask her to do so openly. He would only hint at it secretly, knowing what Su Youran wanted to know without causing any disgust.
Lu Yichuan pinched her earlobe and looked at her lovingly:
"Well, if you don't like it, just try not to get in touch with them. We're not that close anyway."
The salesperson behind the counter: Ahhhh, it is definitely true!!
