The next day, Nie Canghao made time to negotiate with Lu Yichang and finally decided on a specific time to send Lu Renjie back.
At 11:30 in the morning, Lu Renjie boarded the private plane that came to pick him up and returned to the port city.
When the plane landed and Lu Renjie returned to the port city, he realized that everything had been turned upside down.
During the period when he was controlled by Nie Canghao, his old father's hair turned gray overnight, as if he had aged ten years. That's all, anyway, his romantic father should have turned gray long ago.
But what made him even more intolerable was that Nie Canghao used him as a bargaining chip and manipulated Lu Yichang at every turn. During this period, many unequal treaties were signed between the Lu Group and the Nie Group. While the Nie Group made huge gains,
Nie Canghao has also won a more prominent reputation.
Nie Canghao got all this by stepping on Lu's bones!
Lu Renjie was so angry that the veins on his forehead throbbed and he wanted to kill someone.
What's even more irritating is that Nie Canghao only needs to destroy Bai Shiwei. Anyway, he has long been tired of that bitch! But the other party forced Lu Yichang to bankrupt the Bai family and forced the Bai family to move out of Hong Kong City, causing uproar throughout the city.
There was an uproar and discussions, which seriously affected the Lu family's reputation.
All in all, Lu Renjie's trip to the imperial capital resulted in the loss of his wife and troops, a ruined reputation and huge financial losses.
When the father and son met, they couldn't help crying and hugged each other. They learned from the pain and decided to take revenge on Nie Canghao.
"We can't let this dumb loss go in vain." Lu Renjie gritted his teeth, his beautiful peach blossom eyes full of ferocity and sullenness. "All the losses must be paid back by that boy Nie Canghao even harder!"
Lu Yichang sighed dejectedly: "Dad is old and has no ambition or fighting spirit. I just hope that you can live in peace. Everything else... is just something external to me, so don't fight for it."
"Dad, we can't let this kid fool us in vain!" Lu Renjie gritted his steel teeth and clenched his fists loudly. "I must make him pay the price!"
Imperial City, brand wedding dress store.
Since Nie Canghao bought this brand wedding dress store, it has not officially opened for business, but the store manager and clerk's salaries and bonuses have been paid as usual.
This should be the most comfortable job. Every day you just take inventory and do some hygiene, and you can get a generous and high salary. Both the store manager and the clerk think this is the ideal kind of job - less work, more money!
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the store manager finally received the call and was immediately stunned. "Okay, Mr. Nie... All the main new models are on display... Let me take a look, there are seven high-end models in total... Okay, you can
rest assured."
An hour and a half later, Nie Canghao came with An Ran.
The female store manager was still enthusiastic and introduced the latest styles and high-end styles in the store to An Ran. At the same time, she asked with a gossip: "I already selected the wedding dress last time, why did I cancel it at the last minute! It seems that Mr. Nie is not fully prepared yet.
, I must give you the most perfect and grand wedding!”
An Ran raised her lips lightly and said, "I won't make any arrangements. Relatives and friends will come here to send blessings and have a meal together."
Nie Canghao once said that in order to prevent the tree from attracting wind, the wedding should be kept simple. Relatives and friends of both parties should be present to bear witness. At least when the child is born in the future, at least he will not be mistaken for an illegitimate child.
An Ran understood, though it was said that relatives and friends from both sides were present, in fact only relatives and friends from the Nie family were present, and she... had no relatives at all.
When Nie Canghao asked her to write down a list of relatives and friends to invite, she only wrote Sheng Manru and her colleagues from the musical instrument store. Even Bao Yuanqing was not invited by her.
An Ran cooperated with Nie Canghao's arrangements. He asked her to try on a wedding dress, so she tried on a wedding dress; he asked her to choose a diamond ring, and she chose a diamond ring. It seemed that she passively accepted the fact that she was about to get married.
But An Ran knew very well that all this was just an illusion.
She never gave up her plan to continue looking for Nie Qingyu, and she didn't want to marry Nie Canghao.
She married the wrong person and finally got divorced. How could she make the same mistake again and marry this man again?
As for Nie Canghao's thoughts, she didn't want to delve into it.
Why did this moody and cruel man insist on marrying her? Maybe he was just used to bullying her, and he might not be used to being bullied by another person.
Mr. Nie asked Nie Canghao to choose a famous lady from a well-known family as his wife, but the old man did not think about it. How could a girl with her mother's family as her backer be at the mercy of Nie Canghao?
Nie Canghao has a strong desire to control, maybe he thinks An Ran is easy to control, and he doesn't want to marry an unruly daughter because of his strong personality.
That must be the case!
There is no doubt about An Ran's choice. The only thing that embarrasses her is the fetus in her belly.
She subconsciously caressed her flat belly, with a trace of sadness on her brows. Fortunately, the fetus was still young, so she could ignore this problem for the time being.
She hasn't decided what to do with this child yet, but she knows that some of her thoughts have quietly changed.
When she first learned that she was pregnant again, she was panic-stricken and only thought about how to abort the child. But now...she has become accustomed to his existence and cannot bear to kill him.
Sometimes she wonders if this baby is the previously aborted baby reincarnated to find her!
Zhuo Jiaxuan once caused her to lose her child. How could she do such a cruel thing now?
Nie Canghao ordered a diamond ring for An Ran, and at the same time made it clear to her that he also wanted a wedding ring.
An Ran said happily: "I can give you a wedding ring, but I may not be able to afford an expensive brand."
"I don't care much about the brand. The main thing is that the style suits my needs." The man once again secretly motioned for her to take him to go shopping in person.
An Ran felt that sometimes this man was terrifyingly sinister, and sometimes he was as innocent as a child. "Whenever you are free, let's go to the jewelry counter and choose a ring that you are satisfied with."
In fact, after the trip to Yancheng, she had long wanted to express her gratitude to him. If it hadn't been for him, Aunt Ming would have defrauded her of all her savings.
"I'm free now." The man's eyes lit up and he said immediately.
When the two of them went out, Nie Canghao specially asked Ah Hao to bring the limited edition Ferrari and asked An Ran to drive it himself while he sat in the passenger seat.
"You can drive to work by yourself in the future." The man began to show his kindness to her, hoping to make her feel better so that she would be more patient when buying a wedding ring for him later.
An Ran smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you."
"We are an old married couple, and yet you are so polite to me." The man sitting in the passenger seat may have been too idle, so he stretched out his long arm and gently stroked her with his big hand.
"Hey, if you keep doing this... I might drive the car into a ditch!" An Ran warned him.
Nie Canghao had no choice but to retract his restless big hand. The woman's warm and delicate touch still remained in his palm, like the finest mutton fat and warm jade, which he couldn't put down.
Maybe because he has been hungry and full recently, he is always impulsive when he is with her.
"I think we only need one child." Nie Canghao discussed with her. "Every time you get pregnant, I feel that you are working too hard."
Also, he endured it very hard.
An Ran opened her eyelashes slightly, a little surprised by his idea. Most men want to have more children and be blessed, and since they don't have to bear the pain of childbirth, they certainly want their women to flourish. Even if they don't have enough land at home, they still want to have more children.
Raising an illegitimate child...
Nie Canghao's ideas are somewhat unique.
"Let's talk about it later." An Ran looked forward and drove intently. But for some reason, there was a strange feeling in her heart that she couldn't tell whether it was sour or sweet.
Perhaps because I kept drinking it to nourish my stomach, I didn’t have any more morning sickness during this pregnancy.
If she hadn't been hospitalized twice with symptoms of threatened miscarriage, she wouldn't even have felt that she was pregnant.
Her waist is still slender, and she wears the latest high-end clothing. The soft sheepskin hollow short boots she wears are also high-end privately customized. In addition, her bags and jewelry have all been replaced by new seasonal brands.
After marriage, all her expenses were paid by Nie Canghao. She would accept whatever consumption level he gave her. She had not noticed that her current treatment, such as food, clothing, travel, etc., was actually the same as before.
There is a big difference.
In the past, Nie Canghao only acted as a cash machine and never asked about these trivial matters. Now he personally selects brands suitable for her, personally selects private leather customization for her, and ensures that every piece of clothing on her upper body and every pair can be worn on her feet.
The shoes above are the most comfortable and safest!
It wasn't until An Ran accompanied Nie Canghao to buy a wedding ring that she realized how picky this man was.
Even after visiting several silver shops and jewelry counters, he tried on a lot of rings, but was always dissatisfied. An Ran felt a little tired, holding a bottle of water in his hand. Everywhere he went, he found a chair to sit down and let him
Pick your own.
It wasn't until about five o'clock in the afternoon that Nie Canghao finally noticed An Ran's impatience. He looked at her a few times and suggested: "If you are tired, let's go back to rest and come back tomorrow..."
"I'm not tired!" An Ran quickly stood up and walked over to watch with him. "Is there anything you like? It's almost... let's buy it!"
That's almost it! Anyway, it's impossible for her to go shopping with him tomorrow!
Nie Canghao nodded reluctantly: "Then I will choose one, it may be a bit expensive."
"No problem, buy it!" An Ran unscrewed the bottle cap and took another sip of water.
"Do you think this is okay?" Nie Canghao put it on his hand and asked for her opinion. After all, she was the one paying the bill.
"Okay! The salesperson will issue the invoice!" An Ran didn't even look at it and just wanted to end it quickly.
The salesperson responded excitedly, issued the ticket, and handed it to An Ran. "Three hundred and eighty-eight thousand. The cashier is at the left corner in front."
"Pfft!" The mineral water in An Ran's mouth suddenly squirted out, and she kept choking and coughing.
Nie Canghao quickly came over to pat her back and handed her tissues.
It took An Ran a long time to recover, and she looked at the diamond ring on his hand in disbelief, with stars in her eyes: "This is so expensive!"
Nie Canghao pursed his beautiful thin lips, probably realizing that he had gone too far, and his voice lacked confidence: "I want this."
safely:"……"
The surrounding salesmen were staring at the two of them, and An Ran felt a bit stuck.
Nie Canghao looked at her nervously, like a little boy who was afraid that his mother would not buy him toys.
An Ran wiped his forehead with the tissue in his hand, took a step closer, lowered his voice and told him the truth: "I may not have enough money in my card..."
It's really not enough, maybe 18,000 yuan is still missing.
"I asked Zhou Han to advance you next month's salary." Nie Canghao acted immediately and sent a message to Zhou Han.
One minute later, An Ran received an income of 50,000 yuan, marked as: "Advance payment of 50,000 yuan for next month's salary!"
"?" So, not only did she have to spend all her savings to buy him this expensive ring, but she also had to overdraw next month's salary?!
"Do you have enough money?" The ring had already been put on Nie Canghao's slender and beautiful jade-bone finger, as if it was specially made for him. He looked at her eagerly, waiting for her to pay. "I want..."
