Cheng Zimo's low voice clearly had a hint of sternness, and there was also a hint of hurt and disgust.
For a moment, Ye Anran thought about reaching out to smooth the pain between his eyebrows, but she clearly felt two sharp gazes coming from above her head: it was Mayor Cheng who was looking at her deeply.
She calmly took back her hand that was frozen in mid-air, clenched it slightly unnaturally, and lowered her eyes slightly——
Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. Every family inevitably has secrets that are inconvenient to reveal to others. However, the truth revealed from Cheng Zimo’s mouth still greatly exceeded her expectations!
The man in front of him had pain, resentment, worry, and affection in his eyes. Ye Anran didn't know how to comfort him, nor what he should do to clear the gap between father and son.
Cheng Jianzhong slowly withdrew his gaze from Ye Anran's face, hesitated for a moment, then walked towards her vigorously, lowered his eyes, pursed his lips, and affirmed, "You are Ye Anran."
This is an affirmative sentence without any hesitation. Just like the impression he gives, he is clean, neat, confident and decisive. How could such a wise and sharp leader be a ruthless, shameless and despicable person?
Where are the disciples?
Ye Anran nodded slightly, "Hello, Mayor Cheng."
She didn't call him Uncle Cheng, but a familiar name, which was the common name everyone in the city used to call him, as if she had no special relationship with him and was not dating his son.
object.
Cheng Jianzhong raised his eyebrows slightly: She does know how to respond beautifully. This girl is a bit interesting.
He smiled meaningfully, raised his eyes, and saw Cheng Zimo holding her hand tightly, as if to show his determination or to protect the woman he loved, and stood beside her with his head held high,
Mayor Cheng's clear eyes looked straight into Ye Anran's dark pupils, "Miss Ye, why don't you guess again, the purpose of my coming here tonight?"
Ye Anran felt slightly dazzled. His gaze was too direct and sharp, with a sense of forcefully forcing you to surrender.
Sure enough, Jiang is still smarter with age. Even though she has been in the workplace for many years, she has already developed a calmness and self-possession that does not reveal her true thoughts easily. When their eyes met, she was still a little unable to hold on.
Then he lowered his gaze with a smile, not because he wanted to be defeated, but because he leaned forward slightly, stretched out his hand, and handed over the cup on the coffee table, "Mayor Cheng, please drink tea first."
The other party is an elder, and it won't be of any benefit to her if she goes head-on.
If she wins, it’s because she, a junior, is disrespectful; if she loses, it’s because she is incompetent. Instead of being left in the wrong, it’s better to push the envelope and get over it.
Cheng Jianzhong did not take her cup, and his probing eyes fell on Ye Anran's snow-white face again, "Miss Ye, are you trying to please me?"
Ye Anran suddenly became a little annoyed. She was tired of confronting the other party's eyes. The mayor who was accustomed to giving orders would still stab her verbally. If it weren't for the sake of respecting the elderly and caring for the young.
, she had already had an attack——
Okay! Indeed, considering that he is Cheng Zimo's father, she should be patient.
She pursed her lips slightly, "Since Mayor Cheng insists on telling me, I'm going to offend you boldly! I think you just came here to see me, and you don't have any prejudice against me yet."
Her answer seemed to surprise Cheng Zimo. He turned to the side and looked at her blankly, "But weren't you unwilling to see him just now?"
Ye Anran corrected his title seriously, "Cheng Zimo, he is your father."
Seeing what he wanted to say unhappily, she carefully considered, "I don't want to meet Mayor Cheng because I feel that the relationship between you and I has not reached the stage of marriage.
Mayor Cheng is here to accuse me. If he just wants to break us up, Mayor Cheng can do it with just one phone call..."
In the room, two bursts of applause suddenly sounded. Cheng Jianzhong looked at Ye Anran with admiration, "What a smart little girl! Are you interested in working for me? I can give you twice the current salary, if you match it,
A car, a secretary, annual leave, and a lot of bonuses—"
Cheng Zimo frowned, "What exactly do you want to do?"
Cheng Jianzhong glanced at him without changing his expression, "I'm talking to Miss Ye. There are other people waiting, so don't interrupt."
Cheng Zimo made a very stern statement: "Don't waste your efforts! I said, you can't break us up! No matter what tricks you try, Ye Anran will not be fooled by you!"
"I didn't ask for your opinion." Cheng Jianzhong glanced at him coldly, something flashed across his eyes quickly, and then his eyes focused intensely on Ye Anran's face, "Miss Ye, your
What’s the answer?”
Ye Anran remained silent as if he had something else on his mind. The flickering eyes made Cheng Zimo inexplicably uneasy. He called her several times in a low voice, "Ye Anran? Anran? Anran..."
Mayor Cheng glanced at Cheng Zimo meaningfully again, and unexpectedly changed his approach to win over people's hearts, and instead said nonchalantly, "You said Miss Ye's father is evaluating professional titles?"
Ye Anran raised his head with a bang: his father has been teaching in the school for more than thirty years. Most of his colleagues who joined the school at the same time have become leaders, and there are not a few with the title of full professor. Only his father has been teaching in the school for decades.
I always throw myself on the podium, but when the end of the year comes to evaluate my professional title, I always lack a little bit of luck, and I have never been able to become an associate professor. Or is it not just luck?
Now, Mayor Cheng has chosen to talk about his father's problems. How could Ye Anran not understand what he meant?
Something suddenly flashed across her clear eyes. She frowned, but she seemed to have already made a decision in her heart?
The uneasiness in Cheng Zimo's heart became more and more serious. She was so quiet and almost well-behaved that he couldn't guess what she was thinking, and he didn't know how to protect her?
Although the woman standing in front of him is the person he wants to protect the most in his life, he doesn't even want her to be hurt in the slightest...
He listed all the faults of his father incoherently, starting from everything he knew since he was a child, and recounted all the past events in his memory of how his father tortured his mother.
Mayor Cheng did not stop him, his cold and arrogant expression was as usual, calm and calm, his expression unchanged.
Ye Anran looked at Mayor Cheng in front of him, then at Cheng Zimo beside him, and then took a deep breath, "I'm sorry, Mayor Cheng——"
Only then did Cheng Zimo feel that his heart that was stuck in mid-air had landed safely. His kind-hearted hand reached over, gently grasped the back of her cold hand, and said in a low voice, "An Ran, thank you."
——Thank you for rejecting that man's proposal, and thank you for being willing to stay with him.
There was still no wave on Mayor Cheng Yonggui's calm face, and there was even a look of determination in his eyes.
Cheng Zimo became angry when he saw him looking down on the world, especially since he had just used any means to induce a relationship between him and Ye Anran. He immediately issued an expulsion order rudely, "Mayor Cheng, if you come here, just say
Such nonsense, then you can leave now, Ye Anran said, she won’t go -"
But she was shocked to find that the bare hand intertwined with hers broke away from his big palm, and her familiar little face actually raised a strange and tacky smile, "Mayor Cheng, please forgive me for making you laugh.
! I guessed wrong after all. It’s not that you can’t send someone to handle this matter, but that you want a personal promise from me, right?”
Cheng Jianzhong's calm and stern face twitched slightly, "Ms. Ye, actually, I really appreciate your intelligence, but reality is always crueler than us. Many things will happen regardless of what we think.
Towards what we want it to be."
Ye Anran nodded gently, "I understand. Just like you have been trying to let go of the relationship between father and son for the past twenty years, but you can't let it go."
When Cheng Zimo heard this, he suddenly realized, his eyes were red with anxiety, and he clasped her thin shoulders excitedly, so hard that she felt pain, but he shouted at her, "Ye Anran, I won't allow it."
!I don’t allow you to use me to make any deal with him! I don’t allow it! Did you hear that? He can’t threaten me at all. Believe me, I will love you well, and we will definitely be happy..."
His heart was so painful, so scared, so uncomfortable, and he was deeply afraid that if he was not careful, he would let her slip through his fingers!
But she was clearly alive in front of her, with a smile on her pretty little face, "I believe. Mr. Cheng, I believe you are sincere to me, but in this world, what is more useful and more real than sincerity is true."
Gold and silver!”
The smile disappeared, and the pretty face that made him reluctant to leave became so strange and decisive, "Mayor Cheng, it costs one million to buy my promise. Are you willing to pay?"
Mayor Cheng looked at her solemnly, then suddenly turned around and waved to the door, and saw a man who looked like a secretary walking in with a respectful expression, "Mayor Cheng, please give me your instructions."
Mayor Cheng pointed at Ye Anran and said, "Ask her account number and immediately transfer one million to her name."
Ye Anran smiled faintly, "In addition, I have an apartment that I still pay monthly, and I owe more than 800,000 yuan in bank loans--"
"no problem."
"My commitment plus the house totals 3 million. Also, my father must become a full professor by the end of the year."
"make a deal."
"..."
"Mayor Cheng, I promise you that I will never step foot into the country again in this life!"
The moment the door was closed, Cheng Zimo watched her figure disappear with heartbreak. She never even looked back at him!
"She is sensible. Although this is what I mean, I believe that if your mother was still here, she would agree with my approach. Our Cheng family will never allow our only son to marry a disabled woman.
!”
Mayor Cheng said coldly and ordered his men to watch Cheng Zimo in the apartment and not let him leave the house until Ye Anran left City C.
