Chapter 105 Chapter 105 A Chance Encounter
Lin Anran became famous in one battle. Many people have never seen her, but her name is well-known. To sum it up in one sentence - Lin Anran is not to be messed with.
Of course, Yun Shujuan and Zhou Wenhui also became a laughingstock. The couple had a poor reputation in their circle to begin with. Their mindsets were different from the average person, which was quite unusual. Furthermore, they presented an air of superiority, which made it hard to leave a good impression. Whose family doesn't have some kind of background? The Zhou family certainly had a strong background, but the other capable members of the family maintained a low profile and modesty. Yun Shujuan and Zhou Wenhui, two marginal figures, didn't have that, so they looked down on them.
Many people wanted to meet Lin Anran, but Lin Anran only followed Zhou Heyuan to meet his relatives and friends. As for other people, there was no need, as they were not monkeys to perform.
Lin Anran was happy to have some peace and quiet. She went out to check out the renovation of the courtyard house she had bought before. The renovation team was very reliable and the supervisor was very responsible. Zhou Heyuan had a very good aesthetic sense. It was great. She could just lie down and wait for the renovated courtyard house to be handed over to her.
"Sister Anran, did you buy this courtyard house?" Zhou Yunxue followed Lin Anran curiously, looking left and right, her eyes full of novelty.
Lin Anran smiled and nodded: "Yes, when I come to Beijing to attend university in March, He Yuan and I can move in."
When Lin Anran and Zhou Heyuan were traveling abroad, her university admission letter was sent to her home in Shenzhen. She was admitted to her first choice and had to report to Beijing again when school started. However, she was a night college student, not a full-time student. She only needed to take courses from university teachers every semester and did not have to study at Beijing Agricultural University. She only needed to report her learning progress to the teachers regularly and pass the final subjects. This way of learning was more relaxed and suitable for Lin Anran's situation. If she were really asked to be a full-time college student for four years, Lin Anran felt that she could not do it.
Does it feel a bit strange to go through college again, albeit in a different major?
"That's great! This courtyard house will definitely be beautiful after it's renovated. Was it designed by my fifth brother?" Zhou Yunxue said.
Lin Anran: "Yes, it's him."
After saying hello to the head of the decoration team, Lin Anran and Zhou Yunxue left the courtyard while talking. Zhou Heyuan was a little busy these two days, and Lin Anran couldn't stay at home. It happened that Zhou Yunxue was on winter vacation at university, so he asked her out to play. Lin Anran also planned to talk to Zhou Yunxue about Yun Shujuan and Zhou Wenhui. After all, this couple was Zhou Yunxue's parents. If Yun Shujuan and Zhou Wenhui were not doing well, Zhou Yunxue would naturally be affected.
Lin Anran was thinking about how to bring up this matter. She had a good relationship with Zhou Yunxue. They were good friends before and now they were a family. Logically, their relationship would only be better than before, but Yun Shujuan and Zhou Wenhui were two living people who could not be ignored. If they became estranged because of this couple, it would be a loss. Lin Anran liked Zhou Yunxue very much.
After she slapped Yun Shujuan and Zhou Wenhui in the face, Zhou Yunxue and her brother reacted very quickly and apologized to her, but Zhou Heyuan did a lot of "insignificant" things afterwards, which not only made Yun Shujuan and Zhou Wenhui lose face, but also left them penniless, turning them into a complete joke.
After much deliberation, Lin Anran chose to be more direct: "Yunxue, do you know what happened between me, Heyuan, and your parents?"
Zhou Yunxue's smile faltered. She said, "I know, Sister Anran, don't worry. I just think you and Fifth Brother are doing such a great job. It's only right for them to pay for a meal to apologize to you. Besides, if they don't spend their money on a meal to apologize, it will only be wasted on useless things. I think Fifth Brother's idea is a good one!"
The useless places refer to the Yun family and Yun Shanshan.
Lin Anran didn't expect to hear this. She was stunned for a moment, then smiled. She said frankly, "I thought our friendship would be broken after this incident. You know, they are your parents after all."
Zhou Yunxue shook her head. "Yes, they are my parents, but I won't unconditionally favor them. They were the ones who wronged Sister An Ran first. Sister An Ran, you should treat them well. It's just an apology and a treat. If they can't even do this, what else can I say for them?"
"Does this matter have an impact on you and your brother?" Lin Anran asked, touching the tip of his nose.
Zhou Yunxue sneered, "Sister Anran, you think too highly of them. Even if you hadn't done this, my fourth brother and I would have been burdened by their bad reputation. But because my grandparents, my second uncle, my second aunt, my brothers and sisters supported me and my fourth brother, we didn't suffer any injustice from others. It was only our parents who wronged us, and we had to bear it. So I'm not lying, Sister Anran, you don't have to worry about implicating my fourth brother and me. This incident didn't have any impact on us siblings."
At this point, Zhou Yunxue complained to Lin Anran about all the ridiculous things her parents had done over the years. How the Yun family came to ask for money, and Yun Shujuan wanted to move out of the house to the Yun family. How the Yun family wanted to work, and Yun Shujuan and Zhou Wenhui worked hard to help arrange it, but the Yun family offended everyone and lost their jobs. This couple was so outrageous that they asked their own son to arrange for his uneducated cousin to join the army...
Zhou Yunxue had a terrible life at home, and her brother Zhou Sige was having an even worse life than her. Yun Shujuan not only supported her brother, but she also dragged her husband Zhou Wenhui into the fight and set her sights on their two children. It was as if the whole family was determined to dedicate their lives to the Yun family. Otherwise, Zhou Sige would not have resolutely joined the army just to get away from his terrible family.
"My fourth brother almost couldn't go to military school back then. They even forced him to change his university choice. It was only because of my grandparents and my second uncle and second aunt that they were suppressed. Otherwise, I think they would have died," Zhou Yunxue's eyes moistened as she talked about the past. "Thankfully, my fourth brother got his wish and joined the military, completely away from them. Although my brother and I haven't seen each other for a long time, I'm happy for him. After all, my fourth brother can be soft-hearted sometimes. If those two people begged him many times, he would have nodded. He's even softer-hearted than me. He said that when he was a child, he saw the suffering our mother went through for him, and he definitely couldn't be cruel."
Lin Anran sighed softly in her heart, reached out and gently hugged Zhou Yunxue to comfort her. The relationship between parents and children was really too complicated. She couldn't help but think of her parents in her previous life and her parents in this life. She was luckier than in her previous life to have a new life.
Zhou Yunxue forced a smile and said, "I'm just glad I was too young to remember anything back then. Now I can be more ruthless in my refusal."
Zhou Yunxue has been disappointed too many times. Sometimes she can't understand why her parents did that. When her brother and I were young, their parents loved them. Her mother would even risk her own safety for her father, brother and her. Her thin body stood firmly in front of them, as if it could protect them from the wind and rain. Now her parents are so unfamiliar to her that she feels like she doesn't know them.
When Lin Anran heard this, she took it as Zhou Yunxue's sincere words. She couldn't help but advise: "We are the most important. We should always put ourselves first."
She has always done this. Fatherly and motherly love cannot be forced, because being a parent does not require any exams.
Zhou Yunxue subconsciously repeated: "Myself?"
This reminded Zhou Yunxue of her sad past, so Lin Anran took her out for a trip. Of course, Zhou Yunxue led the way and she paid for it.
Lin Anran and Zhou Yunxue were having so much fun that they put aside all their unhappiness. However, they ran into Yun Shanshan, Zhou Yunxue's former enemy. Lin Anran saw Zhou Yunxue frowning subconsciously and thought to himself, as expected, she may talk soberly, but some things cannot be let go in a short time, not to mention that Zhou Yunxue and Yun Shanshan are cousins who have had conflicts for many years.
Lin Anran remained silent. After Zhou Yunxue realized what was happening, she said, "How unlucky I am to have run into Yun Shanshan."
Lin Anran: "Shall we go?"
Zhou Yunxue shook her head: "Turning around and leaving shows that I'm afraid of her. Sister Anran, we should just do what we need to do. Who cares about her? It's Brother Jiaming. What's wrong with Yun Shanshan..."
Turning around and looking forward, Lin Anran saw Yun Shanshan catching up with Qian Jiaming with a happy face. He didn't know what they were talking about, but Yun Shanshan had a shy and happy look on her face, looking up at Qian Jiaming with wet eyes. Qian Jiaming was facing sideways towards them, and Lin Anran didn't see what expression Qian Jiaming had.
But, Qian Jiaming and Yun Shanshan?
Lin Anran supported her chin with her hand, looked at the two people in front of her, and began to think about their relationship. She remembered that Yun Shujuan and Zhou Wenhui thought Yun Shanshan and Zhou Heyuan were a good match and wanted to pair Yun Shanshan and Zhou Heyuan together.
Zhou Yunxue suddenly said, "Sister Anran, what did you say about Yun Shanshan and Jia Ming?..."
Before Zhou Yunxue finished speaking, she saw Qian Jiaming take several steps back and distance himself from Yun Shanshan. Lin Anran and the others saw the exquisitely packaged small gift box in Yun Shanshan's hand, which seemed to be intended for Qian Jiaming.
No matter how you look at this scene, it seems to have a story. Lin Anran glanced at Zhou Yunxue from the corner of his eye, and saw Zhou Yunxue rush out directly: "Brother Jiaming, why are you here?"
"Yunxue, why are you here?" Yun Shanshan was frightened and asked as soon as she opened her mouth.
Zhou Yunxue folded her arms and sneered: "Why do you care about me? This place is not yours. I can be wherever I want."
"You!" Yun Shanshan looked at Qian Jiaming, blinked, and her eyes turned red. "Yunxue, do you have to treat me like this? What did I do wrong..."
Zhou Yunxue rolled her eyes vigorously, not bothering to pay attention to Yun Shanshan. She just stared at Qian Jiaming: "Brother Jiaming, you haven't told me why you are here."
Qian Jiaming smiled wryly and raised his hand, pointing to the teahouse in front. "Shuyan and I made an appointment to have tea here. It's just a coincidence that I ran into you two today. Sister-in-law, you came just in time. I'll treat you to tea."
One against two, under normal circumstances, Qian Jiaming, a friend of women, could definitely resolve the situation easily, harmoniously and amicably, but today's situation was quite difficult for him. Looking at Lin Anran who was watching the show in the back, Qian Jiaming decisively pulled people in.
Lin Anran looked at Qian Jiaming with a smile: "It's just right. Yunxue and I are tired from shopping. Free tea is not to be missed."
Qian Jiaming: “…”
"Hey, sister-in-law, what a rare guest." Guo Shuyan arrived later than Qian Jiaming. He glanced at Qian Jiaming with a half-smile, rolled his glasses, and turned to look at Zhou Yunxue and Yun Shanshan, "And you two."
Qian Jiaming: “…”
He is overwhelmed by all of this.
Guo Shuyan turned to Lin Anran and said, "Sister-in-law, call He Yuan."
Lin Anran glanced at the time on his watch and nodded with a smile: "Okay, he told me that the work time he agreed to finish is almost up. Give him a call and ask him to come over for tea when he's free."
