Chapter 107: 0107 More than knowing
She wasn’t at all worried that Gael would refuse; he would weigh the pros and cons himself.
Besides, it wasn’t as if those things couldn’t be found domestically, it was just that the procedures were numerous and somewhat troublesome.
“That’s wonderful, dear Su, this year’s World Competition will surely be lively. There are also several contestants from your country, among them two whose reputations are quite significant.”
Su Ran’s expression remained indifferent, completely uninterested in the gossip Gael was sharing.
“Yes, one is Iydia, last year’s third-place winner. She’s not weak; I have some impression of her. There’s also a contestant from five years ago, hailed by your country’s netizens as ‘the youngest contestant’ and ‘genius designer’. Her name seems to be something like heart? Her Chinese name is Su Xinyan.”
Su Ran raised an eyebrow, a meaningful smile crossing her delicate, cool face.
“Su, do you know her?”
Gael couldn’t help but ask.
Su Ran’s red lips curved slightly, “Of course.”
She did more than just know her, she also bore a grudge against her!
“No wonder, she contacted me a while ago, inquiring about you.”
A cold gleam flashed through Su Ran’s cool eyes, fleeting yet profound.
“Oh? What did she ask about me?”
“Nothing much, just whether you would be participating this year.”
Su Ran’s gaze slightly lowered, a chill flashing across the depths of her eyes.
After hanging up the phone, Su Ran leaned back lazily on the couch.
It was unexpected that she would dare to participate in the World Competition again.
She doesn’t fear being disgraced?
In Su Ran’s eyes, Su Xinyan was someone who valued her own reputation highly; she would never do anything that could ruin her future.
There must be some reason compelling her to join this World Competition.
With a quick thought, she figured it out.
The Su Family wanted to be present in Fu’s flagship mall, and they had to show their worth through this World Competition.
Otherwise, amidst such numerous international competitors, on what grounds would the Su Family stand?
Su Ran scoffed softly to herself.
Overestimating oneself!
Did Su Xinyan think that just because she had once saved the Su Family, she could do it a second time?
She was somewhat looking forward to this year’s World Competition now!
Su Ran didn’t dwell much longer, turning her attention to the documents on her desk. Yet, before she could read more than a couple of lines, her mobile phone started to ring.
She frowned slightly, picked up the phone, and her expression took on a playful look upon seeing the caller ID.
This time, she waited until the call was almost disconnected before answering.
Her tone was as cool and distant as ever.
“Impertinent child, is that how you speak to me?”
Su Ran raised an eyebrow.
“Are you sure you want to discuss this every time you call?”
Su Hongde’s expression stiffened, his entire face darkening.
“This midday, you come home.”
Upon hearing this, Su Ran’s lips curled slightly and she asked innocently,
“Home? Which ‘home’ does President Su want me to return to?”
A simple question, yet it made Su Hongde suddenly tense, his shrewd eyes clouding over with confusion.
“Or is it that your darling daughter has gone back and said something, and President Su has specifically called to advocate on her behalf?”
At the mention of Su Xinyan, Su Hongde snapped back to reality, the unusual emotions disappearing in an instant, his tone still undisguised with loathing towards Su Ran.
“You wretched thing, where did your sister offend you to deserve such ruthlessness from you? She considers your interests at every turn, yet you treat her . Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?”
