Chapter 169: The Beginning of a Coincidental Encounter

Chu Yan was silent for three seconds before he suddenly laughed. “Are you angry?”

Ye Qingran replied, “No.”

Chu Yan’s tone was firm. “You are.”

Ye Qingran thought for a moment before she spoke honestly about what was on her mind. “I just feel that you shouldn’t do something that she doesn’t like in the name of it being best for her.”

She was once the same as Chu Ruoruo. She was very resistant about going to another country.

In that strange and cold place, even if there were people to take care of you and people to protect you, without your family by your side, you would still be afraid.

After a long time, perhaps you might grow up and get used to it.

However, what you would really get used to was loneliness instead.

She paused for a moment and continued, “If you think about it from another perspective, if your family arranged for you to marry a woman you didn’t like just because it would be helpful to your career if you did so, would you still agree?”

Chu Yan: “…”

Ye Qingran stood up. “I’d better go and take a look at her after all.”

Chu Yan said softly, “Sure, that’s fine. You can also tell her that I’m still considering it.”

Ye Qingran was stunned for a moment before she smiled. “Okay.”

Once she headed out, she immediately saw Chu Ruoruo kicking stones in the courtyard. She was still cursing, “Tyrant tyrant tyrant, stubborn and tyrannical brother.”

Seeing Ye Qingran walk to her side, she immediately stopped and pouted. Her face was so long that it could hang a bottle.

Ye Qingran asked her, “You’ve eaten so much. Why don’t you take a walk to help in digestion?”

Chu Ruoruo did not say anything but still started walking.

Ye Qingran followed her and advised, “Don’t be angry. Your brother only wants to choose a future that’s good for you. Parents always think ahead.”

Chu ruoruo said angrily, “But I really don’t want to go.”

As she said that, her shoulders softened. “I know that I can’t fight back either. They’ve already arranged everything for me. Forget it, I’ll just go then. I won’t think about it anymore.”

Ye Qingran hummed in acknowledged faintly. “But your brother didn’t reject you either. He just didn’t reply you.”

Chu ruoruo said, “When he doesn’t speak, it’s usually because he is rejecting me. He even scolds me for being unreasonable.”

Ye Qingran’s tone was especially light, as if she was puzzled. “But when I came out, your brother told me that he was still considering it.”

Chu Ruoruo’s eyes lit up, and she stared at Ye Qingran. “Really?”

Ye Qingran slowly smiled and nodded.

Ye Qingran said, “Can I even lie to you? Think about it, I only asked him in the afternoon. He hasn’t even had a day to consider for it and yet you’re in a hurry to ask him. It’s normal for him to give you a cold glance.”

“He’s still thinking about it, which means that there’s still a chance. But the chances are still slim”. Chu Ruoruo clasped her hands together as if she was praying. “I hope brother will agree to letting me stay.”

“Your brother dotes on you very much. Even if he changes his mind to let you stay, he still has to weigh the consequences and make the necessary arrangements too. How could he just say yes so easily?”

“Yes, Brother Ran is right.” Chu Ruoruo was still making the gesture of praying while muttering non-stop.

Ye Qingran did not disturb her and just let her be.

There was a party in front.

The melodious music reached her ears and Chu Ruoruo finally returned to normal.

She looked at Ye Qingran and asked, “Brother, which school do you want to enter? Do you want to enter Capital University like me?”

Ye Qingran did not reply immediately.

Hmm, Capital University… She went to visit it today and it was indeed pretty good.

But, how long was she going to stay in this world?

A group of people stood at the entrance of the banquet.

There were men and women, chatting and laughing.

One of the women saw Ye Qingran walking from afar, and a trace of doubt flashed across her eyes. She fixed her gaze on Ye Qingran for a long time, and suddenly, she smiled with slight contempt.

When Ye Qingran walked over, she called out, “Hey, little brat.”

But Ye Qingran did not even glance at her.

She was still chatting with Chu Ruoruo.

This made her explode instantly. She rushed out directly, “Little brat, are you deaf?”

Ye Qingran looked at this woman who suddenly stood in front of her. She looked a little familiar. “May I ask who you are?”

The woman was slightly stunned that Ye Qingran did not know her.

What was going on? The previous time she saw him, he was clinging onto her like super glue.

If he had not stuck onto her so tightly that day, Chu Yan would not have found out that there was something wrong with his wine and her relationship with Chu Yan wouldn’t have suddenly become so estranged.

This woman was Xiang Qingtian.

She glanced at Chu Ruoruo who was beside Ye Qingran and suddenly seemed to understand something. She smiled scornfully and said, “Whyare you pretending? Are you afraid that the woman beside you will know that you have been pestering me?”

Chu Ruoruo glared at her. “Hey, this is really strange. You suddenly ran out and blocked someone’s path, and you’re so rude.”

Ye Qingran was silent. “…”

She was searching the original owner’s memories and realized that the original owner did not seem to recognize this woman.

But she did look somewhat familiar.

Right, wasn’t this that Xiang Qingtian?

It was just that when she met her that day, her makeup was lighter and more elegant.

She didn’t have such thick makeup like she did now.

That was why she didn’t recognize her for a moment.

Ye Qingran was a little surprised. “I remember now. So it’s you, Miss Xiang. May I know why you called me?”

What kind of good luck was this to actually meet Xiang Qingtian.

Xiang Qingtian must have held a grudge against her for ruining Xher grand plan last time.

However, back then, they were in Jiang City and with Chu Yan around, Xiang Qingtian couldn’t do anything.

At this moment, there were only her and Chu Ruoruo. Moreover, they were in Capital City. With Xiang Qingtian’s arrogant personality, since she had called out to her, she naturally didn’t plan to let her off easily.

What a troublesome woman.

Xiang Qingtian raised her head slightly, acting as if she was much more superior than them.. “Yes, it’s me. Why don’t you continue pretending?”

At this moment, Xiang Qingtian’s friends also walked out.

They looked at Ye Qingran and glanced at her contemptuously. They asked, “Qingtian, who is this?”

Xiang Qingtian gave a strange smile. “He’s the brat I mentioned last time.”

She had long wanted to find this brat. However, due to the situation, she temporarily had to let him go.

She did not expect that even with a path to heaven he did not go, but instead, he chose to barge into hell. He had actually come here to Capital City!

Then today, she must properly vent her anger from that day!

Obviously, Xiang Qingtian had mentioned Ye Qingran to these people before.

It was probably not just once.

Therefore, after they heard Xiang Qingtian’s words, they instantly understood.

Each of them looked at Ye Qingran with contempt in their eyes, and they directly mocked her.

“He’s just a gigolo, yet he still dreams of getting what he is not worthy of. He really thinks too highly of himself.”

“That’s right. If it were me, I would have dug a hole to hid in it long ago.”

“Some people just like to humiliate themselves. Why don’t we give him what he wants?”
