"It's all because mothers can't stand up after all. Otherwise, why would she, a child, have to worry about such things," Mrs. Ren felt sorry that her daughter married badly, but felt even more sorry for Ran Ran's child.
"Don't spread the word about Li's affair. Let me get someone to investigate first."
Although she was already convinced, some things still had to be figured out before making plans.
They couldn't sleep. Ren Shuyun and her husband couldn't sleep either.
"Uncle is a little reluctant this time," Xu Zhengyang said worriedly. "If it doesn't work, you can ask your mother to say something. He will definitely give her face."
Ren Shuyun nodded, "Well."
"Let your daughter hang out more with little Ran."
"Okay, I know." Ren Shuyun was annoyed.
She hated in her heart that she wasn't Uncle's daughter. If she were Uncle's daughter, she wouldn't have to be so humble, but when she thought of Ren Suya's husband, and then looked back at her own husband, she was satisfied again.
Ren Shuyun, who couldn't sleep, went straight to her daughter's bedroom.
"Xiao Ying, how come you don't look for Ran Ran to play recently?"
"Mom, I don't like her. I hate her pretentious attitude the most. You are also a daughter of the Ren family, so why can't I be like Ran Ran?"
Ever since she could remember, people had surrounded Ran Ran, flattering her.
She was also a daughter born to the Ren family, but was ignored by everyone just because she didn't take her mother's surname. Moreover, everyone compared her with Ran Ran.
In learning, she was not as good as her.
In talent, she was not as good as her.
In looks, she was not as good as her.
In family background, she was even more inferior to her.
In other people's eyes, she was the antithesis of Ran Ran, an incompetent stupid child. While the little princess Ran Ran of Yaxing Group was the outstanding model in other people's mouths.
She really, really, really hated Ran Ran.
"Xiao Ying, how come you become more and more ignorant as you grow up. The family is having difficulties now. If you get along well with Ran Ran, she can help our family in the future. Yaxing will eventually be handed over to her."
Seeing that her mother was about to start a long lecture, Xu Ying perfunctorily agreed, "Okay, I know. I'll take her shopping tomorrow."
"That's right." Ren Shuyun stroked her head affectionately, "It's very late, don't play with your phone, go to sleep early."
At noon, Ran Ran received Xu Ying's invitation to go shopping on the weekend. She didn't intend to go at first, but thinking of what Taoist Qingxuan said, she had to look at the birth horoscope to confirm if it was the other party.
Although all kinds of signs indicated that her aunt's family was the most suspicious, she still had to get the other party's birth horoscope to be cautious. To thoroughly resolve the fate, she also needed the other party's birth horoscope.
She agreed to Xu Ying's invitation.
On Saturday, Ran Ran specially cleared her afternoon schedule.
Usually she would arrive 15 minutes early, while Xu Ying was often late, and her reasons for being late each time were far-fetched. She didn't feel anything was wrong before, but after repeating it once, she finally understood that it was deliberate.
This time Ran Ran did not arrive early, let alone on time.
Ran Ran walked leisurely on the street, eating ice cream nonchalantly, ignoring the vibration of her cell phone for the third time.
Without looking, she knew it was Xu Ying urging her.
After eating the last bite of ice cream, she slowly walked towards the agreed place.
Suddenly, she stopped, her gaze locked on a back view.
Pei Ming!
A person she would recognize even if he turned to ashes.
Her gaze went past Pei Ming and fell on Xu Ying.
The two seemed very familiar with each other.
She quietly approached the two. Xu Ying and Pei Ming seemed to be arguing about something, both focused on each other and didn't notice her approach at all.
When she got closer, she could hear their conversation.
"I did so much for you, and now you tell me you want to break up?" Pei Ming's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at her.
Xu Ying had her arms crossed. "Did you seduce Ran Ran like I told you?"
"Xu Ying, don't be so shameless." Pei Ming cursed at her for the first time.
"I'm shameless? Weren't you the one who volunteered to help me, and now that you've messed things up, you blame me?" Xu Ying was both angry and aggrieved.
Pei Ming didn't want to argue with her anymore. He took a deep breath, faced her calmly, "Are you sure you don't want to go abroad with me?"
Because of that incident, he was abandoned by the family and exiled abroad. He was abandoned by the family, abandoned by his parents, and now abandoned by his girlfriend as well.
He felt that he was a fool to end up like this for a woman like her.
It was his fault for being a poor judge of character. He deserved to end up like this.
He pleaded guilty!
He pleaded guilty for his youthful ignorance!
"No." Xu Ying rejected outright.
"Fine!" Pei Ming stared at her, "Xu Ying, the feelings between you and me end here. The favor from back then has been repaid today. Don't contact me anymore from now on."
Seeing him so decisive, Xu Ying felt a hint of panic. She wanted to stop him, but then heard a clear voice.
"Xiao Ying."
Xu Ying looked up, past Pei Ming, and fell on Ran Ran.
There was a flash of panic in Xu Ying's eyes. She signaled Pei Ming to leave quickly with her eyes.
Pei Ming also recognized the voice and saw her suddenly pale face. Although disappointed in her, he still maintained the last shred of dignity between them. He walked straight ahead.
Ran Ran walked up and watched Pei Ming's back as he left, "That person looks a little familiar, like our classmate Pei Ming."
"You must have recognized wrongly. He was just someone asking for directions." Xu Ying quickly explained.
"Is that so?" Ran Ran smiled slightly, enjoying Xu Ying's poor acting, "But he really looks like him."
"Many people look similar. It's normal for backs to look similar. I've seen Pei Ming before. How could I not recognize him?" Xu Ying wanted to end this topic quickly and immediately changed the subject, "Sis Ran, you're late. Did you run into something on the way?"
"I did run into something."
"What was it?"
Xu Ying pulled her towards the LB luxury store.
"On the way here I met a Taoist fortuneteller. He seemed quite accurate telling other people's fortune. I was going to get mine told, but then I thought of the time I promised you. So here I am, rushing over hurriedly." Ran Ran looked regretful.
Xu Ying smiled and said, "We can go back there later."
"Sounds good."
They frequented LB luxury goods often, so the sales staff recognized both of them. Xu Ying was still standing next to her at first, but was soon attracted by the new products and left with a store clerk.
Seeing her lack of interest, the shopping guide brought tea and snacks then quietly retreated to the side without disturbing her further.
Half an hour later, the shopping guide behind Xu Ying was already holding several bags.
"Sis, look good?"
"Looks good."
Xu Ying smiled and said, "I think they look good too."
"What about this one?"
Ran Ran glanced at it perfunctorily and nodded, "My sister has good taste. The bags she picked are nice."
Xu Ying was in a good mood. She said to the shopping guide, "Pack these up."
The shopping guide moved very efficiently and packed up all five bags.
"Ms. Xu, your total for this purchase is 1.09 million."
"Okay."
She turned to look at Ran Ran, who was sitting on the lounge chair scrolling through her phone. Seeing that she wasn't paying attention here, she reminded, "Sis."
Hearing this, Ran Ran looked up and got up.
Seeing her get up, Xu Ying naturally stepped aside, waiting for her to pay.
However, Ran Ran walked straight outside.
Xu Ying was stunned for a moment, and quickly called out, "Sis, you haven't paid yet."
