Xie Xuzhi calmly walked past Yun Ran, appearing not to glance sideways, as if Yun Ran was just an insignificant passerby.
In reality, his peripheral vision had already caught Yun Ran’s somewhat ’sneaky’ actions with complete clarity.
He casually glanced at Xin Fu, being fully aware of the cats and dogs around Yun Ran, let alone Xin Fu, such a big person.
Thinking about Yun Ran’s fierce personality, surprisingly, she would also have moments of hiding behind someone else due to awkwardness...
Xie Xuzhi’s lips subtly curved into a barely noticeable smile.
The people following Xie Xuzhi were vigilant, ready to attack anyone who appeared; they had already targeted those around them within their attack range.
If anyone attempted to rise and harm, they would immediately be shot into a sieve by their guns.
It wasn’t until Xie Xuzhi’s figure disappeared into the waiting hall that Yun Ran cleared her throat and casually stepped out.
She said to herself, "The wind was quite strong just now," then glanced at Xin Fu and continued, "Your height is quite advantageous, you can block the wind!"
Indeed, what’s said on TV was true; when people are embarrassed, they tend to make many ’fake movements.’
Yun Ran rubbed Ginsengfruit’s head, saying, "Go, call Old Liu, why hasn’t he come over yet? If not, I’ll dock his pay!"
Ginsengfruit resignedly pulled out his child’s phone and called Old Liu.
The phone barely rang once when it was answered.
"Young Master, have you arrived?"
"Yes, where are you? We’ve already reached the arrival gate, and Master said it’s windy here..."
Even at this moment, Ginsengfruit didn’t forget to help Yun Ran save face, otherwise, her previous fake movements would seem superfluous.
"I’m in the parking lot outside. Today, some big people are coming; there’s temporary traffic control near the airport."
Hearing this, Old Liu also sounded frustrated; neither earlier nor later, traffic control had to happen when he was picking someone up.
Yun Ran’s ears slightly moved, clearly hearing the words big people and traffic control.
She pouted instantly, no need to ask, those so-called big people must be related to Xie Xuzhi.
What a waste that she previously thought Xie Xuzhi had come to pick her up; only the grand gestures were a bit much for her, planning to get used to it later.
In the end, he wasn’t coming for her at all. Thinking back, she had feared such a grand ceremony would cause her social death...
Yun Ran suddenly felt that she could dig out an entire city with her toes!
"Given that there are big people here, there would definitely be more flights, we should leave quickly!"
Fortunately, most of the people leaving the airport followed the crowd to the outdoor parking lot.
Yun Ran’s awkwardness slowly eased away.
Unaware of the previous scene, Old Liu saw Yun Ran from afar and greeted her respectfully, taking some of the luggage with his gloved hands.
His face full of apology: "Sorry Miss, I intended to pick you up at the entrance, but there’s a special checkpoint there, only exit not entry."
"It’s all minor things, let’s head back then!"
After Old Liu opened the car door for Yun Ran, Xin Fu also sat in the passenger seat, and the group quickly headed towards Ran Mansion.
Meanwhile at the airport, Xie Xuzhi finally welcomed the ’prominent figures,’ people significant enough for Young Master Xie himself to greet must surely be extraordinary.
Several elderly men and women with gray hair, surrounded by top-notch bodyguards.
"You must be the Xie Family kid; it’s been over a decade since we last saw you, and you’ve grown so much."
Xie Xuzhi showed a perfectly timed smile: "Yes, I am Xie Xuzhi. Thank you for your effort. My grandfather has already prepared a welcoming banquet."
The elderly nodded in satisfaction; though they held some status, as time passes, connections fade, and local officials hold more sway than distant authorities. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novel•fire.net
The Xie patriarch even willing to have his proudest grandson fetch them was already the highest respect they could receive.
"Alright, we’ve missed your grandfather too."
Soon, the convoy led by Xie Xuzhi escorted these elders and grand folks to the Xie Family estate in Hai City.
As Xie Xuzhi got into the car, he looked at the bodyguard in the front seat, "What about Yun Ran?"
The bodyguard slightly turned, half-bowed his head, and respectfully replied, "Miss Yun Ran left while you were waiting for the elders; there was nothing unusual."
With traffic controlled here, the comings and goings of anyone become crystal clear; naturally, they knew Yun Ran’s whereabouts.
Xie Xuzhi revealed a faint smile, recalling Yun Ran’s previous fake movements, given her personality, she would surely secretly bear a grudge.
For the next while, he best not show himself in front of Yun Ran; wait until she calms down.
"Okay, noted. And another thing, make sure these national treasure-level experts receive the highest treatment."
Yun Ran returned to Ran Mansion, and her mood and spirits immediately recovered.
She then remarked, "Indeed, people need an excellent living environment. Once back, life feels truly wonderful."
Your own domain, your own den, truly looks pleasing in every way.
Little Paperman helped move things, Ginsengfruit and Xin Fu were busy with other subsequent tasks, also taking time to familiarize themselves with the grand opening ceremony.
Only Yun Ran, at this moment, resembled a jobless layabout, returning to the main building and directly laying upon her ultra-luxurious large bed without doing anything.
As for the previous awkward social death situation at the airport due to Xie Xuzhi, she had long forgotten about it.
Late into the following day, when the sun was already quite high, Little Paperman finally knocked and entered, bringing Yun Ran over thirty types of breakfast prepared by the kitchen.
With Ginsengfruit busy with other tasks now, ’serving’ Yun Ran’s daily needs fell onto Little Paperman.
"Master, here’s your favorite breakfast, the kitchen has been preparing since yesterday, please get up and try it."
Seeing the appealing breakfast, Yun Ran once again sighed, this was the life of wealth and glory she adored.
"Hmm, the kitchen staff put effort in, tell the steward later to give them a bonus."
She loved these people for striving to please her by diligently studying and performing various tasks well.
After breakfast, Yun Ran donned casual attire, planning to stroll in the garden for a post-meal walk.
The flowers planted in the garden were all to her liking, growing beautifully; Yun Ran’s mood instantly brightened.
