“Lu An has always been such a person. No matter how serious the matter is to others, it’s not worth mentioning when it comes to him. He could handle everything with ease. Moreover, in this era, marriage and divorce are not a big deal.”
“Who told you that marriage and divorce arc not a big deal?!”
“It’s true. Do you know what the divorce rate is now? I’ve already thought it over. It’s not a big deal even if I get a divorce in the future.”
“Shut up!” Qiao Ranran patted her hand heavily, “You can’t say such depressing words. Marriage is a very serious matter. How can you think about getting a divorce when you just got married?”
Jin Nian knew that she was in the wrong, so she quickly tried to fool her, “Let’s not talk about this anymore. Hurry up and order! I have money now, you can order whatever you want to eat!” Qiao Ranran did not go easy on her and ordered an expensive dish that she had not ordered before. She was a hard-working worker who had to spend every penny carefully.
Jin Nian said that Lu An had given her a sum of money as living expenses, but she did not have the habit of squandering it, so she planned to save the money. Qiao Ranran was stunned again: “My god, this is my salary and bonus for a year. He’s really generous.”
Jin Nian sighed, “Don’t mention it. This is also my annual salary for a year. The difference between humans was even greater than the difference between humans and pigs.”
Qiao Ranran sighed: “We can’t imagine the happiness of the rich!”
“Yes.” Jin Nian nodded. “Some things, if you weren’t born with it, then you’ll never get it.”
“Has Lu An always been so generous in the past?” Qiao Ranran asked.
“He has always been like this.” Jin Nian nodded.
“So what does his family do?”
“His biological father seems to have a big business in Hong Kong. He seems to be involved in real estate and docks. I think he even opened a casino in Macau.”
Qiao Ranran: “D*mn, his background is like the rich young master in the TV series…”
Jin Nian nodded, “Anyway, his mother is already very capable. She’s a true career woman. She’s quite the person. You’ll know when you have the chance to see her.”
Qiao Ranran asked: “Have you been to his house? Was his house one of those big villas filled with officials and servants who could speak eight languages?”
Jin Nian smiled and shook her head, “Have you read too many novels? There’s nothing special about his family. The place where his grandmother lives is no different from ours. He is my childhood friend and my neighbor.”
“The old house by the river, right?”
“Yes.” Jin Nian nodded.
“F*ck! Do you not know how much a house by the river is worth now? The old lady is a hidden millionaire!”
Jin Nian smiled: “So, according to what you’ve said, my grandmother is also a hidden millionaire. The two of them used to live opposite each other. They were mahjong friends.”
Qiao Ranran: “God is unfair. Why don’t I have a handsome and generous childhood sweetheart?!”
Jin Nian replied: “Did not you say that you have a childhood friend who’s about your age?”
Qiao Ranran shook her head: “Being childhood friends and childhood sweethearts are two different concepts, alright?! We were in a relationship where we climbed over walls and trees together since we were young! I still have pictures of him naked at home! We used to fight when we were young, and then we ignored each other. He called me ugly, and I called him short. Do you think this is the same as you and Lu An?”
“I’m dying of laughter.” Jin Nian laughed.
In fact, before seeing Qiao Ranran, Jin Nian was still a little flustered. However, as soon as the two of them sat down, the little bit of panic in her heart disappeared. No matter how much her life had changed, in front of Qiao Ranran, she was just herself, Jin Nian. She did not need to pretend to be strong.
Jin Nian was grateful that Qiao Ranran had been by her side when she was at her saddest. Of course, she was also grateful to Lu An.
After Jin Nian and Qiao Ranran finished their meal, they strolled around the nearby business district for a while. When they got home, it was already close to eleven o’clock by the time they finished removing their makeup and laid in bed. There were two missed video calls on her phone. They were sent by Lu An five minutes ago. At that time, she was taking a shower.
Jin Nian did not call him back but typed, “What’s the matter?”
Lu An replied: “Nothing. I just wanted to see if my newlywed wife had too much fun and forgot about me.”
“I’m sorry, sir. You are?” Jin Nian teased him.
“Your father,” replied Lu An.
Jin Nian replied: “What are you saying?!”
Lu An replied: “Good baby.”
Jin Nian resisted the urge to place him in the blacklist as she put down her phone and poured herself a glass of water..
