Xiao Ran didn't go far, and as soon as she walked out of the alley, she stopped unconsciously.
The sun was blazing high in the sky, and she stood under the sun without any protection, motionless for a long time.
Suddenly a car drove up on the road ahead. After it pulled over, someone pushed the door open and got out of the car, striding up to her.
"Ran Ran? Ran Ran!"
Xiao Ran came to his senses at the call, raised his eyes, and saw He Jingchen standing in front of him.
He Jingchen stared at her and said, "What are you doing standing here? Why didn't you answer the phone I called you? Why didn't you tell me when you came to see me?"
He asked a series of questions, and after a while, Xiao Ran finally regained consciousness and whispered: "Can you take me to the airport?"
"Have you met Lao Fu?" He Jingchen looked at her with worry in his eyes, "What did you say?"
Xiao Ran didn't answer. When she saw his car parked on the side of the road, she quickly walked towards the car, opened the door and got in.
He Jingchen also got into the car and said, "Tell me what happened! How can I help you solve it if you don't say anything?"
After a long time, Xiao Ran shook his head and said: "Everything has been solved. There is nothing I need your help with anymore."
Hearing this, He Jingchen couldn't help but said, "Old Fu, have you promised me?"
After asking this question, He Jingchen subconsciously gave a negative answer.
With Fu Chengyu's attitude towards the Xiao family, if Xiao Ran asked him to help the Xiao family, he would probably not agree. What's more, he is still here in Ancheng...
Sure enough, the next moment, Xiao Ran smiled bitterly and said slowly: "No, he didn't promise me anything."
He Jingchen couldn't help but pause slightly and wanted to say something, but for a moment he just felt that he had no way to speak.
What can be said? He has already expressed his position to Fu Chengyu a long time ago. He will remain neutral on this matter. He can neither help him nor the Xiao family.
Xiao Ran only knew his position clearly, and many things would bypass him.
But he never expected that she would come to Fu Chengyu.
If he could have known that she was coming earlier, he could at least go along with her and mediate between the two of them.
But now...
"What exactly did you say?" He Jingchen asked.
After a while, Xiao Rancai said again: "I knelt down in front of him. I begged him to help my brother out of the past friendship..."
Every word she said shocked and incredible He Jingchen, so much so that after she finished speaking, He Jingchen asked, "What did you say?"
Xiao Ran did not repeat it again.
He Jingchen didn't really need her to repeat it. After a moment of pause, he looked at her and said, "You know if you do this, the old man will definitely be angry, right? You still ask him to 'help' your brother? You
Even if it's just to let him relax and allow you to seek solutions from others, it's more appropriate than this "gang" word? You know that if you say this, the old master will definitely not agree to you! What are you trying to do!"
"He won't help me." Xiao Ran said in a low voice, "But someone will help me."
As soon as she finished speaking, her cell phone suddenly rang.
Xiao Ran took out his cell phone and quickly answered the call after seeing the incoming call.
"Hello, Miss Xiao, I am Mrs. Shen's secretary. Your appointment with Mrs. Shen at noon today was canceled for some reason. Now I will confirm the rescheduling time with you. I wonder when is it convenient for Miss Xiao?"
"I can do it anytime, as long as it's convenient for Mrs. Shen." Xiao Ran said.
After making an appointment with the other party, Xiao Ran hung up the phone.
After listening to her call, He Jingchen next to him slowly asked: "Shen Yuanan's wife?"
Xiao Ran responded in a low voice.
He Jingchen understood something immediately.
This Mrs. Shen is indeed a vital part of the help she wants to seek, but she and Mrs. Fu have always had a good personal relationship.
He Jingchen was silent. After a moment, he suddenly heard her exhale softly and said, "Okay, now I feel at ease."
After hearing this, He Jingchen turned to look at her for a long time, then suddenly reached out and touched her head and said, "Is everything really okay?"
"It's okay. The biggest problem has been solved. What else can happen?" Xiao Ran said and moved his body, turning his back to him and leaning on his shoulder. His eyes fell on the scenery passing by outside the car window for a long time. Do not move.
It wasn't until she got on the highway and there was no more scenery to see in the car that she slowly closed her eyes.
But suddenly she heard He Jingchen call her: "Ran Ran..."
However, before he could say anything, Xiao Ran had already raised his hand and wiped away the wetness from the corner of his eyes.
"Everyone has some truths that cannot be said, because there are always things to consider, such as self-esteem and face. It's good to be able to say it in this way, and I also got the answer. I let it go."
Hearing this, He Jingchen didn't say anything more and just sighed slowly.
…
Seeing Xiao Ran leaving, Gu Qing'er struggled hard again, but this time, he still couldn't break free.
Fu Chengyu then turned back to look at her, but he also took her other hand into his.
"I really don't mean to force you at all." Fu Chengyu said slowly, "The reason why I came here in a hurry again is because I don't want you to misunderstand anything again."
Gu Qing'er was silent for a moment and then said: "Okay, now you have seen what you need to see and heard what you need to hear. Mr. Fu can go back and do his own business."
Hearing this, Fu Chengyu did not move or speak for a moment.
At this moment, Luan Bin hurriedly came forward and said to Fu Chengyu: "Mr. Fu, I just got the news that the project outside the South Third Ring Road in Ancheng has been approved."
"Really?" Fu Chengyu turned to look at him, "What did Mr. Yu say?"
"Mr. Yu is on a business trip out of town. I heard that you happened to be in Ancheng and said that you would be back within two days."
Hearing this, Fu Chengyu turned his head and looked at Gu Qing'er.
How could Gu Qing'er not understand the meaning of his look? After looking at him for a moment, she spoke first: "That means Mr. Fu will stay in Ancheng for a few more days? In this case, in order to make your stay comfortable , I will make this house available to you, and I will go out and stay in a hotel."
After hearing this, Fu Chengyu said slowly: "The room I stayed in before was quite comfortable."
"Really?" Gu Qing'er responded, and then said, "Then I wish you a happy stay."
After saying this, she finally managed to break away from Fu Chengyu's hand, turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard.
Fu Chengyu stood at the door, quietly watching her figure disappear from sight, and then turned to look at Luan Bin.
Luan Bin said hurriedly: "Mr. He is here too and just picked up Miss Xiao outside the door."
Fu Chengyu listened and responded lightly.
After a moment, he suddenly lowered his head and looked at his hands.
At this moment, her hands were empty, but the touch that belonged to her skin before was still there.
Fu Chengyu couldn't help but close his palms, as if he was holding something.
