Chapter 449 - Shopping
After coming out, Mo Jinrong took out a cigarette and was about to light it when Lan Anran snatched it and placed it in her mouth.
Mo Jinrong was stunned. His woman smoked?
“You…”
Lan Anran snatched the lighter and lit the cigarette with familiarity, looking like an old hand.
“I don’t usually smoke, it’s just that I’m a little frustrated today!” She smoked the cigarette like she was used to it.
The way she puffed made Mo Jinrong a little dumbfounded.
“Are you that girl in the story?” Mo Jinrong asked curiously.
“You believe me?” She turned her head and took a deep breath.
Mo Jinrong nodded. “I believe whatever you say.”
Lan Anran smiled but didn’t answer. She couldn’t even believe the outrageous truth, let alone Mo Jinrong.
“Get in the car; let’s go home!”
She turned to get into the car when the warden suddenly ran over.
“Wait a minute! Your grandma and auntie asked me to pass you a message. They said that your aunt wants to go out and they want you to help her find a lawyer!”
Lan Anran smiled with tears in her eyes.
“She’s still the same! Tell her that the offer has expired, I won’t forgive them!”
She turned and got into the car, Mo Jinrong following behind her.
She took one last puff, threw the cigarette out the window, leaned against Mo Jinrong’s shoulder, closed her eyes, and slowly fell asleep.
She had a dream about what they did to her in her past life, and also about today; a smile suddenly appeared on her face.
Lan Anran returned home and lay on the bed exhausted.
Li Yueru asked Mo Jinrong about the incident in detail and tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.
“It’s our fault that she has such a miserable life. It’s only right that she hates her grandma now. I just hope that she will have a peaceful life in the future.”
“Mom, don’t worry, I will take good care of Anran. I know that she may seem very strong, but her heart is very fragile.”
Mo Jinrong felt bad for his wife and a ripple appeared in his heart when he saw her tired figure.
Upstairs, Lan Anran buried her head in her blanket and secretly wiped her tears. She didn’t know whether she was glad they were in jail or sad for herself, but she couldn’t stop the tears from flowing.
At this moment, Qin Xue’s message energized her. She wiped her tears and looked at the message on her phone.
“I know your secret, you’d better come and meet me!”
Qin Xue’s tone was threatening.
Secret?
Lan Anran was confused, how did she know her secret?
Was it a trap?
Lan Anran first picked a place and let Qin Xue go. She then let Fatty and Skinny hide in the surroundings, so that they could provide support if anything happened.
“Boss, how long has it been since you accepted a mission? We’re all rotten!” Skinny grumbled.
“Payments will be sent as usual. You guys are on paid leave now, so what’s there to be dissatisfied about? Cut the crap and go squat!” Lan Anran spoke swiftly.
She arranged to meet Qin Xue in a small teahouse in the evening, so she wasn’t in a hurry as there was still time.
She probably heard some gossip and wanted to threaten her, so she wasn’t afraid.
She sent a message to Qiu Cha, asking her out to shop.
“Where are you going?”
Lan Tingyun watched Lan Anran come down excitedly. She seemed to be in a good mood, unlike how she was just now.
“I’m going shopping with friends!”
Lan Anran wore jeans and had her hair tied into a ponytail. She carried her bag and smiled.
“Mom, Dad, I’ll send her off. I’m leaving!”
Mo Jinrong bid his parents farewell and sent Lan Anran out.
“Anran, who are you going shopping with?” Mo Jinrong chased after her and asked.
“Qiu Cha. I’m giving her the day off, do you have any objections?” Lan Anran smiled and said.
“Of course not, you call the shots!”
Mo Jinrong thoughtfully opened the door for her and went to pick Qiu Cha up.
Qiu Cha was waiting for Lan Anran at the Mo Corporation’s entrance when Zhao Han suddenly appeared in a sports car.
He honked.
“Miss Qiu Cha, please get in the car, I’ll show you around!”
Qiu Cha took off her sunglasses and smiled when she saw Zhao Han.
“Boss Zhao, why are you so free today? Don’t you have to work?”
“I’m the boss, what I say is the law!”
Zhao Han smiled.
Now that he was in charge of the company, who could stop the boss from going out?
“I knew it! My brother is always up to no good when he goes out. Are you really my sister-in-law?”
Zhao Xiaolei suddenly darted out from behind and smiled.
“Xiaolei? What are you doing here?”
Zhao Han turned to look at his sister. She was also driving a sports car, a striking red Ferrari.
“I’m here to see what you’re doing? I took a day off at the company to visit Anran, but I didn’t expect to see you here. Come on!”
Zhao Xiaolei smiled and said.
“When did you get your license? Don’t tell me you drove without a license?”
Zhao Han couldn’t remember when his sister had gotten her license, but she had bought a car.
“What? You don’t care about me at all. Is my new sports car pretty?” Zhao Xiaolei smiled and said.
“Who told you to come? Hurry home!”
Zhao Han chased her away.
“No! Sis-in-law, do you like my brother? He’s not bad, right?”
She got out of the car and held Qiu Cha’s hand.
“Xiaolei!”
Zhao Han tried to stop her, but Lan Anran and Mo Jinrong happened to be at the entrance of the company.
“Qiu Cha, let’s go!”
Lan Anran was surprised to see the two cars waiting for Qiu Cha.
“It seems that Miss Qiu Cha is quite popular today!” Mo Jinrong said.
“Qiu Cha, choose for yourself, you promised me first!” Lan Anran smiled and said.
Qiu Cha thought for a moment and was troubled. Men and friends were both important.
“Anran, you didn’t see me?”
Zhao Xiaolei turned her head and spoke unhappily.
“Xiaolei, what are you doing here? Since you’re here, why don’t you come shopping with us?”
Lan Anran invited her.
She hadn’t seen Zhao Xiaolei in a long time and today is a good chance for them to catch up.
“Qiu Cha, come with me!”
Zhao Han got out of the car and pulled Qiu Cha towards him.
“I’ll take care of whatever you want to buy today. I wonder when you’ll agree.” Zhao Han sighed.
“Zhao Han, I…”
“Alright Miss Qiu Cha, don’t say anymore. I said I would wait, there’s no hurry!”
Zhao Han was avoiding the topic.
He was afraid of hearing that answer.
“Sigh!”
Qiu Cha didn’t know what to say, she sighed and looked out the window.
They arrived at the shopping mall and the few luxury cars attracted the attention of others, while the few people who alighted attracted even more attention.
“Wow! Handsome men and beautiful women!”
The passersby were envious.
“Isn’t that Lan Yanran’s sister and the Mo Family’s CEO?”
“She’s here to shop?”
Passersby took out their phones to take pictures.
Mo Jinrong naturally held her hand under everyone’s gaze.
“Wow! They’re holding hands!” a woman shouted.
Zhao Han wanted to grab Qiu Cha’s hand, but he didn’t dare.
Zhao Xiaolei called her brother a coward from behind.
“Brother, why are you so useless? Hurry!” she muttered softly.
