About this question...
Ran Xiangsi seriously frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Afraid? To be honest, I’m not afraid of you. In my life, there’s only one person I’ve ever been afraid of..."
Although Xing Chen could sometimes be a bit harsh to her, she had never seen any real ruthlessness or sharpness in him.
Maybe it was because she knew he would never hurt her, so she had never really been afraid of him.
"Who are you afraid of?" Xing Chen raised an eyebrow, squinting as he studied her, instinctively feeling that there might be a deeper story behind her words.
He wanted to understand her, including this person she had been afraid of all her life.
"My mentor. Although I have never met him in person, he was always very strict when teaching me to memorize code programs. If I didn’t do well, he would be very stern. I think I’m afraid of disappointing him..." Ran Xiangsi casually found a seemingly noble reason to dodge the question, and after speaking, she quickly walked toward the Maybach.
There were some things she didn’t want to remember anymore.
Xing Chen stood in place, watching her hurriedly leave, and did not miss the stiffness and unnaturalness on her face when she spoke.
His picturesque features seemed shrouded in a layer of mist, blurry yet intense, making it impossible for anyone to guess what he was thinking at the moment.
Right now, he was increasingly curious about Ran Xiangsi’s mentor... who exactly was this person?
However, since she didn’t want to talk about it, he wouldn’t press her further.
With long strides, Xing Chen quickly followed her.
The two got into the car and went to another restaurant to eat.
Meanwhile, in the upstairs private room, with Li Guoliang’s coordination, the Gu Family had already left with Gu Beichuan. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NovᴇlFire(.)nᴇt
Ran Yingqian, who had been slapped, was crying in Fang Biqin’s arms.
Ran Zhonghai, seeing Li Guoliang off at the door, still had a pale face.
Before he left, Li Guoliang gave him one last piece of advice, "Zhonghai, we’ve known each other for quite some time now. I don’t want to see you get into trouble. No matter what, you cannot offend Xing Chen. And since Xiangsi is your daughter, if you’re smart, you should know how to leverage this relationship. You’re a smart man, so I won’t say more. Take care of yourself."
"Thank you for the advice, Director Xie," Ran Zhonghai thanked Li Guoliang, feeling even worse inside.
He hadn’t expected that the daughter he hadn’t acknowledged for a decade had now climbed so high?
It seemed... he would have to treat this daughter better.
If the Ran Family’s business could get Xing Chen’s help, then reaching the peak wouldn’t be difficult at all!
At that time, let alone the small Gu Family, no one in all of A City would dare to bully the Ran Family!
At nine in the evening.
Xing Chen and Ran Xiangsi returned to the villa after dinner.
As soon as they entered the living room, they saw Prince chasing Coffee Cat all over the place.
And there was a pile of computers by the side of the coffee table. Well, to be precise, a pile of scrap metal.
The computers brought back from Ran Xiangsi’s house were already broken beyond repair.
Since Ran Xiangsi and Xing Chen went to the Lou Family yesterday afternoon and just returned now, Ping’an didn’t dare to handle these things recklessly, so they had been left as they were.
Seeing Ran Xiangsi back, Ping’an quickly asked, "Young Madam, do you still need any of these things?"
Hearing this, Ran Xiangsi quickly walked over, squatted down, and inspected the broken computer pieces.
