Jiang Zheng leaned lazily against the car hood, a gentle breeze brushing his cheeks, carrying away the slight effects of the alcohol. "Sister Ran, shall we grab something to eat later?"
Upon hearing this, Su Ran glanced at the time on her watch and nodded. "Okay, where should we eat?"
Shen Yu also joined the conversation, discussing what to eat.
Wen Wen, who was standing to the side, was unaware of what was going on. He only saw Lin Ruanruan snort softly when she saw him, and turn her head to the side, refusing to look him in the eye.
Su Ran was a little confused when she saw this, and looked at Song Nian, "What's going on between the two of them?"
Song Nian helplessly shrugged. How could he know what Wen Wen was up to? He was probably teasing Lin Ruanruan again and making her angry.
Seeing Lin Ruanruan walk over like this, Su Ran asked, "Ruanruan, what would you like to eat?"
Lin Ruanruan's eyes lit up when she heard about food, "Let's eat at my family's shop! It's so delicious, Sister Ran!"
After everyone agreed, they headed towards their destination.
......
When she arrived at the store, Su Ran was a little stunned. She remembered that Ruan Ruan said she was going to her own store, so this store had been acquired by Ruan Ruan's family.
She was filled with questions, but Song Nian explained, "Ran-jie, don't be surprised. This shop also belongs to Ruan-ruan's family. Xiao-sheng is Ruan-ruan's older brother, and she takes her mother's surname."
She knew about Xiao Sheng, but Xiao Sheng was the crown prince of the political circle, so was Lin Ruanruan still the little princess of the political circle?
Considering that Wen Wen's older brother Wen Chengze is often with Xiao Sheng, it's clear that Wen Wen's feelings for Lin Ruanruan were premeditated.
It seems that Ruan Ruan's identity was well hidden, but the thought of her congenital abduction predisposition made it all clear.
Lin Ruanruan felt a little embarrassed for not telling Sister Ran in advance, but she didn't know how to explain it. She was about to ask Wen Wen for help, but when she thought of what he had just done, she looked at Song Nian with a pleading look, bypassing Wen Wen.
Song Nian felt the gaze directed at him by his good brother, but simply ignored it.
Don't drag me into your little squabbles, I don't care, but...
He was definitely willing to do anything that would disgust his good brother, then he took in Ruan Ruan's pleading look and explained.
"Xiaosheng's father and Ruanruan's mother have some estrangement, so Ruanruan's mother has been raising her. Her parents don't live together, and the problems between her uncle and aunt haven't been resolved yet. A lot of news is being suppressed by Xiaosheng's grandfather."
Song Nian glanced at Lin Ruanruan, leaned closer and whispered, "Rumor has it that Xiaosheng's grandfather really likes this daughter-in-law, so he's on her side. But he doesn't want the two families to divorce, firstly because he's worried she'll end up with someone else's daughter-in-law, and secondly..."
"Things that happen in wealthy families, those who know, know."
Lin Ruanruan didn't hear what she said after that, but nodded and said, "Brother Nian is right. Although I don't know what happened between my parents, my grandparents are very good to me."
Su Ran didn't have any thoughts after hearing this, after all, it was someone else's family matter. She looked at Lin Ruanruan and said softly with a smile, "Let's go, let's eat first."
Lin Ruanruan smiled and pulled Su Ran inside. The store manager recognized the young lady and led her to a private room.
Lin Ruanruan is a regular here. After ordering all the restaurant's signature dishes, she realized that there were other people besides Wen Wen today.
Slightly embarrassed, she handed the menu to Su Ran, who was sitting next to her, and asked, "Sister Ran, what else would you like to eat?"
Lin Ruanruan's cheeks flushed red as she muttered softly, "Lin Ruanruan, Lin Ruanruan, Sister Ran and Brother Nian are all here. How can you just grab the menu and order whatever you want? That's not polite!"
Her voice was very soft, but what she wanted to say was written all over her face. Then she smiled and said, "Ruanruan, how about you make some recommendations?"
Lin Ruanruan's expression brightened upon hearing this. She still had many of the delicious dishes she had initially ordered. Looking at the menu, she exclaimed, "Sister Ran, let me tell you, this is absolutely delicious! And this pastry, Uncle Li makes it so well! And this drink, it's incredibly tasty!"
Su Ran saw Lin Ruanruan pointing excitedly at the menu with her small hand.
Lin Ruanruan thought these dishes were absolutely amazing!
Then the whole private room could hear her soft, sweet voice. Wen Wen frowned and listened to Ruan Ruan talk. After a while, he couldn't help but say, "Lin Ruan Ruan, you ordered too many sweets. It's bad for your teeth. And so many spicy things. Your stomach can't handle it either."
"And this, you're allergic to ginger but you still order ginger slices, and your period is almost here and you're still eating ice cream? Do you know how bad it is for your health!"
"You even ordered extra spicy? What, do you want to end up in the hospital for an IV drip? Is your mouth going to expire tomorrow? Ordering so much at once?"
Wen Wen's scolding echoed throughout the private room. He spoke to her with reason and evidence, and Lin Ruanruan's expression visibly darkened.
With her little mouth pouting and head down, her body trembling, Lin Ruanruan appeared to be crying because of Wen Wen's words to others. However, Su Ran, sitting in a chair quite close to her, could see Ruanruan's cunning eyes. Su Ran slightly curled her lips and remained silent.
Lin Ruanruan turned around and met Su Ran's teasing gaze. Just as she was about to look up, she saw Sister Ran shake her head.
She didn't know what it meant, but out of trust in Sister Ran, she still lowered her head and "affected" her shoulders by shaking.
Immediately afterwards, a pair of hands were placed on the top of her head, and then she heard Sister Ran's gentle and caring voice.
"It's okay, Ruan Ruan. You can eat whatever you want, but you also need to take care of your health. Don't eat what you can't eat, and eat less of what you can't eat too much of."
The caring words rang in her ears, and Lin Ruanruan was a little stunned. Sister Ran knew that she was faking it, but she still went along with her act. She had never encountered such an experience before.
Is this the kind of friend who's there to go crazy and have fun with you?
Feel......
It's really heartwarming.
Thinking of this, tears welled up in her eyes without her realizing it. Su Ran turned around and saw that one golden bead after another was falling from Ruan Ruan's eyes. She didn't know what had happened and hurriedly comforted Lin Ruan Ruan.
"Sweetie, don't cry."
"Tell Sister Ran what happened, and Sister Ran will stand up for you."
"Don't cry, sweet girl. Look, you've already shed so many tears."
She didn't know the real reason why Ruan Ruan was crying, but she could guess that she had probably encountered something sad.
But she really had no experience in comforting others. In the past, when Su Chen was unhappy, she would just beat him up and that would cure him. Her best friend had never cried except because of a scumbag boyfriend.
So when Lin Ruanruan started crying, she caught herself off guard and hurriedly stood up, bending down to wipe away Lin Ruanruan's tears.
After wiping for who knows how long, Lin Ruanruan was still crying. She couldn't answer her questions clearly. Whenever she looked into Su Ran's eyes, Ruanruan would cry even more intensely. Su Ran completely gave up and sat down in a chair, leaning back like Ge You.
