Chapter Ninety-One: Going Home! Zhong Ran's Sense of Crisis!
Xu Wang and Pei Yanchuan boarded their plane back in the afternoon.
Pei Yanchuan put an eye mask on Xu Wang and covered him with a blanket. After making sure the other person was sound asleep, he started working on the documents at hand.
Pei Yanchuan would subconsciously soften his movements when turning the page, afraid of disturbing the person sleeping soundly next to him.
Pei Yanchuan would glance at Xu Wang beside him from time to time, and when he noticed that Xu Wang's mouth was covered by the blanket, he would promptly adjust the blanket down for him.
Sunlight streamed through the window, casting a pale yellow glow on his black suit.
Meanwhile, at the Leng family home, as soon as Zhong Ran returned, he saw several servants whispering among themselves. The servants immediately dispersed when they saw him.
Zhong Ran took off her mask and hat and looked at Liu Ma standing to the side.
"Isn't Mother home?" Zhong Ran asked Leng's mother.
"Madam went out for a beauty treatment with a friend after lunch today and won't be back until quite late," Aunt Liu replied politely.
"Where's Yifan? Isn't he home today either?"
"Young Master has been busy with the company lately and hasn't been back for a while," Aunt Liu replied again.
Zhong Ran frowned and waved her hand. Liu Ma turned and walked towards the kitchen expressionlessly. After these past few months, Liu Ma had completely figured out the Leng family's attitude towards Zhong Ran. Leng's father didn't care about him at all and treated him like air. Leng's mother disliked him. Only the young master really liked Zhong Ran. So now she only needed to do her job properly and didn't need to deliberately try to please this young mistress.
After Aunt Liu left, the other servants exchanged glances, then couldn't help but look in Zhong Ran's direction. Their eyes held disdain, pity, disgust, and schadenfreude...
Zhong Ran noticed this as well. He clenched his fists tightly. He hadn't participated in any variety show recordings during this period, but he hadn't been idle either. He was like a spinning top every day, not daring to stop at all.
However, it must be said that there were some results. His agent, Brother Jin, arranged for him to star in a web series without his consent, which initially made him a little unhappy. But to his surprise, the web series was surprisingly successful after its release, standing out like a dark horse among many TV dramas.
Zhong Ran's number of fans has increased by as much as a million in a short period of time.
Zhong Ran now completely believes what her agent says.
His manager felt he had been away working for too long and specifically asked him to come back.
Zhong Ran hadn't expected that Leng Yifan wouldn't return during the days he was away working, and Zhong Ran couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis.
Zhong Ran frowned and went straight upstairs to his room, closing the door tightly behind him.
Zhong Ran took out his phone and called Leng Yifan.
The phone rang for a while before being answered.
"Hey, Xiao Ran." Leng Yifan's voice was filled with exhaustion. His father had been keeping him by his side for the past few days, handling company matters.
Although Leng Yifan was exhausted, he was also a little excited. His father was intentionally giving him more power, and he could finally have a real competition with Pei Yanchuan.
For some reason, Leng Yifan and Pei Yanchuan have been at odds since childhood. Pei Yanchuan is like his nemesis. The two have been competing since birth. Leng Yifan received elite education from a young age and was found to have an exceptionally high IQ at a young age. He was a well-known child prodigy. Pei Yanchuan, on the other hand, was suppressed and unknown because of his mother's death and his father's marriage to a mistress. It wasn't until Pei Yanchuan was taken away by his grandfather and personally trained that his reputation slowly began to grow.
But as their fame grew, their rivalry also grew stronger without them realizing it, and the goal of completely defeating Pei Yanchuan became the deepest thorn in Leng Yifan's heart.
So Leng Yifan has been both tired and happy these past few days.
"You haven't been home for the past few days?" Zhong Ran couldn't help but raise his voice.
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
"Leng Yifan!" Zhong Ran's anger flared even more when he saw that the other party remained silent.
"Xiao Ran, calm down. I've just been too busy with work these past few days, so I've been staying in an apartment that's close to the company."
“Who knows if you’re the only one?” Zhong Ran questioned.
Upon hearing this, Leng Yifan, who was in the company, rubbed his forehead with a headache. He hadn't had a good night's sleep in a while, as work and matters concerning the Zhong family kept popping up in front of him during the day.
"I'll send you the address in a bit," Leng Yifan said wearily before hanging up the phone.
Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Zhong Ran angrily slammed the phone onto the floor.
Bang! The phone screen shattered into spiderweb-like patterns.
"Ah!!!" Zhong Ran roared.
The maids who were cleaning on the third floor were startled and quickly moved far away from Zhong Ran's room, afraid of being affected.
Inside the room, when Zhong Ran raised his head again, his eyes were filled with deep hatred. Xu Wang, Pei Yanchuan!
These past few days have truly been the most miserable period of his life.
His older brother, Zhong Yuan, was depressed because of company matters and drowned his sorrows in alcohol every day, locking himself in his room drunk all day long.
His parents would come to him whenever they ran out of money, and the money he had earned in the past few days wasn't even enough to cover their expenses for several days.
Xu Wang and Pei Yanchuan had no idea that they had incurred someone's hatred once again while they were on a plane.
Xu Wang had a good sleep during the flight and was full of energy when he got off the plane.
"Hmm~" Xu Wang stood up and stretched, and his bones made a crisp sound as he twisted, probably because he had been in one position for a long time.
Pei Yanchuan looked at Xu Wang's slender waist as she stretched, and subconsciously walked up and gently pulled her down.
Xu Wang blinked at Pei Yanchuan in front of him.
The two stood to the side, and Assistant Yang silently turned his head. An excellent assistant needs to know what his boss and his wife want him to see and what they don't want him to see.
The first taboo for assistants: Never be a third wheel for the boss, and never ruin the boss's romantic time together.
Assistant Yang specifically chose a car with a partition this time, and Pei Yanchuan gave him a satisfied look before getting in the car.
Assistant Yang respectfully pressed the close button on the car door, turned around, clenched his right fist and waved it forward, "Yes! My bonus this month is guaranteed."
