Also, how does she look like someone who just went through a breakup? Do people in your house go to the cinema for solace when they’re heartbroken?
But her expression looked different in Chen Shanshan’s eyes. "Strange, how did I know?"
Chen Shanshan let out a cold laugh and continued, "Actually, it’s easy to figure out the ending without thinking much. What kind of person is Brother Mu? How could he want someone like you as a girlfriend? It’s just a fling, after all. It was only a matter of time before he dumped you. I just didn’t expect it to happen so quickly, only in two days."
After saying this, she covered her mouth and chuckled. One could see she was quite pleased, and even Ji Jie behind her began to laugh along, "Yeah, when Young Master Mu bought her clothes back then, I thought he was so devoted to her."
"Buying clothes equals devotion? Ji Jie, since when did you become so shallow? The Mu Family is wealthy, a few tens of thousands for clothes is nothing, even beggars could afford that."
As she spoke, Chen Shanshan looked up and down at the clothes An Ran was wearing. Coincidentally, An Ran was wearing the white down jacket that they had argued over last time.
An Ran was amused by their duet. Initially, she wanted to let this delicate little peach blossom off the hook, but the other party didn’t know her place. An Ran fiddled with the movie ticket in her hand and leisurely said, "Who said Xingfeng and I broke up? He just had something to do today and was worried I’d be bored, so he sent a driver to take me to the movies. It’s really difficult for Miss Chen to have such a vivid imagination."
"You..." Chen Shanshan’s face flushed with anger due to An Ran’s provocative attitude, "An Ran, what are you proud of? Do you think I don’t know? You just happened to save Brother Mu’s life once, and he treated you better for that. Besides, Brother Mu saved your life too, so it’s even. Do you really think you can become the Young Madam of the Mu Family with just that?"
That day, after returning from Blue Sea and Sky, Chen Shanshan seized the opportunity to hitch a ride with Chen Yankun to inquire about An Ran. Coincidentally, Chen Yankun, worried that Chen Shanshan might do something to An Ran, told her about how An Ran had saved Mu Xingfeng’s life and how Mu Xingfeng had also saved her. His intention was to tell her how important An Ran was to Mu Xingfeng, but it was completely misinterpreted by her.
"Whether I can or not isn’t for Miss Chen to decide." An Ran gave her a contemptuous look and really didn’t want to engage in this catfight in public, so she turned to leave.
Unexpectedly, Chen Shanshan grabbed her again, "It’s not up to me, but it’s not up to you either, An Ran. Who do you think you are? A wild girl without proper upbringing has delusions of getting into the Mu Family. Dream on!"
The crisp sound echoed as Chen Shanshan covered her hot, throbbing cheek, looking at An Ran in disbelief.
"You dare to hit me?"
"I already did. What else wouldn’t I dare to do?"
At this moment, An Ran lazily flicked her wrist. Upon closer inspection, one could easily see the coldness in her eyes. That "wild girl without proper upbringing" completely infuriated her.
She could endure the taunts of Sun Xuehui and her mother, bear with their greedy demands, even forgive them for what they did, simply because, as a child with no one to care for, the An Family took her in.
But when they repeatedly exacted gratitude from her as leverage, her helplessness and pain were something no one could understand.
Seeing An Ran’s arrogant stance, Chen Shanshan could no longer contain herself. She had never been slapped in her entire life, and combined with An Ran’s earlier words, had made her insanely jealous. She screamed and lunged at An Ran.
