After returning from Han Dong's house, Su Ran received a call from Gu Yunchen.
"Su Ran, tomorrow is Sunday, my uncle and my dad are here, and grandpa wants to see you."
Su Ran thought for a moment and said, "I have something to do tomorrow, let's talk about it later!"
She was not ready to face all the Gu family members.
Gu Yunchen hung up the phone, turned around and asked Ning Xi: "Does Su Ran have anything to do tomorrow?"
Ning Xi said: "No, she has no schedule. Her latest schedule is a commercial advertisement next Friday, and the comrades group doesn't have any gatherings. If there is a gathering, I will definitely know about it."
"Wait, let me ask Director Zhang from the drama troupe to see if Su Ran will go to perform in a drama again."
Ning Xi called Director Zhang.
"Director Zhang, aren't you rehearsing a play recently? Oh... I'm just asking casually. I'll treat Director Zhang to dinner next time... Yeah, bye!"
Gu Yunchen spread his hands helplessly: "It seems that she simply doesn't want to see the Gu family."
Ning Xi had to speak up for her bestie: "You have to give her some time to prepare herself mentally. If it were me, after living for more than 20 years, I would not be able to accept it immediately if I suddenly knew my life experience, let alone face it."
"The lack of fatherly love has always been a scar in her heart. Gu Yunchen, your Gu family owes Aunt Su, and even more to Su Ran. You don't know that Su Ran has been called a bastard since she was a child because she has no father or mother. Her grandfather always went to parent-teacher conferences, so she was bullied at school. She didn't dare to tell her grandparents. No matter how wronged she was outside, she had to be happy when she returned home and made up lies that her classmates were very nice to her... Fortunately, she did not become cowardly and withdrawn because of this. Instead, she became brave and stubborn."
Gu Yunchen nodded. He could imagine how difficult it would be for a child without a father or a mother to grow up. The Gu family was indeed very sorry for Su Ran and her daughter, especially their second branch.
"You should wait for Han Dong to come back and talk to him. Only Han Dong can solve Su Ran's problem." Ning Xi said.
Gu Yunchen calculated the days and said, "Han Dong should be back soon."
"Well, last time Han Dong said that he would be in isolation for a month. Okay, don't stay here with me. It's getting late. I have to discuss business tomorrow morning." Ning Xi wanted to drive him away.
Gu Yunchen leaned on her legs and said, "It's still early. I'll stay a little longer."
Ning Xi rubbed his hair and pinched his face. Gu Yunchen let her flatten and round his face and curled up on the sofa as obediently as a dog.
Like a poor stray dog that has just been picked up and brought home.
The only difference is that the stray dog has no home, but he has a home and doesn't want to go back.
The atmosphere in that home was so depressing that it made people feel suffocated.
Seeing him like this, Ning Xi couldn't help but soften her heart and said softly, "I know you don't want to go home. If you don't want to go home, you can run to my place to hide. Your uncle has his own family, and your father can use the excuse of being busy with business to not go home, but what about your grandfather? He is the only one who has to stay in that family and bear everything alone. Yunchen, your grandfather decided to hand over the Gu family to you, and you also said that you would shoulder the burden of the Gu family. The burden of the Gu family does not only refer to the Gu family's business, but also the spirit of the Gu family, so you can't escape anymore."
Ning Xi pushed Gu Yunchen up, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Be strong, man, you still have me behind you. I will support you no matter what the time or situation."
Gu Yunchen hugged her with emotion and whispered in her ear: "Ning Xi, I love you."
How lucky I am to meet you, how lucky I am to fall in love with you.
"Ning Xi, once the Gu family's affairs are settled, I will visit your home and ask your parents to marry you to me."
Ning Xi: "Ah... I... I'm not ready yet. My dad is a bit difficult to deal with."
"Don't worry, I will definitely be able to convince your parents. What kind of partner do your parents want you to find?"
Ning Xi hesitated and said, "Actually... I haven't contacted my family for a long time. My dad wanted me to go back and take over the family business, but I disagreed and insisted on staying here to be Su Ran's agent. My dad thought being an agent was a dead end and was angry with me for several years. He has ignored me until now."
Gu Yunchen suppressed his laughter: "So you are so rebellious, just like me back then. My mother wanted me to give up my career abroad and come back to take over Wanli. I was very reluctant and kept making excuses. Later, I couldn't refuse anymore and had to come back. Let's put it this way. I will ask the company to draft a cooperation agreement as soon as possible. You, go ahead and do it boldly, and let your father see what a gold medal agent is."
Su Ran returned to her own home, thinking that Han Dong would be back soon, so she rolled up her sleeves and began to clean up, mopping the floor and wiping the furniture. It took her two hours to clean it thoroughly. She was so tired that she was sweating and lay down after taking a shower.
I looked at the calendar on my phone and saw that there was only one day left before the one-month closed training that Han Dong had mentioned. I could call him at this time tomorrow. My mood became wonderful.
Su Ran, Su Ran, your requirements are so low. Are you so happy just to be able to make a phone call
Yes, happiness is that simple.
Su Ran fell into a deep sleep.
At this time, Han Dong had just got off the plane. As soon as the training was over, he couldn't wait to buy the earliest flight back to Beijing, not wanting to delay for a minute.
Han Dong turned on the phone, his finger rested on the dial button, he thought about it, but did not press it.
It's almost 12 o'clock now, Su Ran must be asleep, so I'd better not wake her up.
Han Dong got in a taxi and headed straight home.
When I got home and turned on the entrance light, I saw Su Ran's shoes. My heart warmed. It felt so good to have someone at home.
Han Dong put down his luggage and tiptoed into the bedroom. In the dim light, he could see a person lying on the bed.
As expected, he fell asleep.
Han Dong walked over gently and gave her a light kiss on the forehead. Su Ran still didn't wake up and was sleeping soundly.
Han Dong smiled in his heart: The little fool was sleeping so soundly that he didn’t even notice being carried away.
Su Ran was sleeping in a daze and vaguely heard the sound of thudding. She woke up and opened her eyes to listen carefully. There was indeed some movement, as if it came from the kitchen. Could it be that a thief broke into the house
Go to her house to steal things and steal some food at the same time
Su Ran became nervous and quickly reached for her cell phone to call the police.
After calling the police, Su Ran tiptoed out of bed and locked the bedroom door. Let the thief steal whatever he wants, but make sure he is safe first. She was not sure she could defeat a man.
Han Dong took a shower and cooked a bowl of instant noodles. In order to catch the plane, he had not eaten dinner and was now extremely hungry. There was only instant noodles at home, so he had to fill his stomach with them.
While I was eating, someone knocked on the door.
Han Dong wondered, who is knocking on the door in the middle of the night? Don't wake Su Ran up.
Han Dong put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked through the peephole to see the community security guards and police officers from the police station outside.
It's really strange.
Han Dong opened the door.
The policeman rushed over and tried to grab him without saying a word.
With Han Dong's skills, even a few more policemen might not be able to beat him, but they were policemen after all, and he understood the common sense that using force against the police was assaulting them, so he did not take any action and let the police handcuff him.
"Comrade police, can you explain what this means?" Han Dong asked.
