On the way back, the atmosphere in the carriage was very heavy.
An Ran was not too angry. This result was within her expectation.
As long as Bai Ling and Zhuo Jiaxuan were involved, no matter what outrageous things they did, he would habitually pretend to be deaf and dumb.
But she always felt that the unhealed wound in her heart had been torn open again, and cold wind was pouring into it.
She was numb from the cold.
Lan Yue rubbed her eyebrows and sighed softly: "I'm too impatient..."
When she heard that Bai Ling had escaped from prison, she was a little confused and did not hesitate to let An Ran force Nie Canghao to express his position.
But she ignored some minor issues, such as the couple having an argument last night, and Lu Yichang just running to find An Ran...
Nie Canghao was in a bad mood at this time. It would be nice if he didn't express his anger at An Ran. How could he deliberately please her?
Maybe An Ran's suspicion is not unreasonable - he doesn't love her that much!
"It's okay, it's fine!" An Ran felt relieved.
She looked sideways at Lan Yue, who was even sadder than her, curled her lips, and said in a teasing tone:
"Have you given up now? He doesn't have any special feelings for me. Everything is just for the sake of the child!"
An Ran never thought that Nie Canghao could have any special feelings for her. It was Lan Yue's repeated mention that made her a little confused.
Now it was confirmed that her status in Nie Canghao's heart was like a weakling, but she was extremely relaxed.
She deliberately ignored the numbness and pain in her heart and pretended not to care at all.
"It's not as bad as you think." Lan Yue cheered up and comforted her: "Master Nie's temper is soft but not tough. You..."
"What a coincidence, I don't like hard words!" An Ran interrupted her, also a little bored. "Stop trying to persuade me, I know what I should do!"
Lan Yue, who is unhappy with both ends: "..."
An Ran returned to the hotel and saw Ah Hao walking over with Xiao Yu in his arms.
"Xiaowu found out about Lu Renjie. He is with Lu Yichang and Xiaogang. There is currently no problem with his personal safety."
An Ran rubbed her temples and asked reluctantly: "Have you ever asked my brother if Lu Yichang still restricts his freedom? He didn't reply to any messages I sent him."
"I asked, and it didn't restrict his freedom." Ahao paused here and reminded her: "He doesn't reply to messages, maybe he just doesn't know how to tell you."
This situation is really difficult now.
Lu Yichang was desperate and came to seek refuge with his only son. Even if Lu Renjie had many objections to his father, he could not ignore him.
Maybe Lu Renjie didn't know what to say to An Ran, so he simply remained silent.
An Ran was silent for a long time, and then suddenly said: "Ahao, I want to go back to the farm in Pro City and spend my annual vacation there."
Ah Hao was slightly startled, and then advised him after a moment: "If you leave the capital now, it will only intensify the conflict with him."
"I have nothing to do with him! We're already divorced!" An Ran snorted coldly. "If you don't accompany me, I'll sign up for the travel agency myself..."
Before An Ran could raise her lips, he looked into her eyes and reminded: "What should we do about Xiaoyu? The custody rights for the past six months belong to Mr. Nie. If he doesn't agree, we can't take him away."
An Ran just felt bored.
She closed her eyes and thought for a long time, with tears oozing out of the corners of her eyes.
After an unknown amount of time, An Ran opened her eyes again and made a new decision: "I don't want to stay in a hotel anymore. I want to move back to Xiangshan Villa and live with my brother."
Ah Hao was startled again and instinctively stopped him: "If you do this, wouldn't it intensify the conflict with him? What's more, a gentleman doesn't build a dangerous wall. Now that the Lu family building is about to collapse, you will only bring disaster and trouble to yourself if you get close to it."
…”
An Ran looked at Ah Hao and said softly: "Either you take me out of the imperial capital, or I go to Lu Renjie. You have two options, help me choose one!"
On New Year's Day, the president's office on the 26th floor of the Nie Group skyscraper.
I am afraid that the only CEO working overtime today is Nie Canghao!
He sat there distracted, unable to see anything.
He simply threw down the pen, folded his hands behind his head, closed his eyes and rested.
All previous efforts are in vain!
There are only these four words in my mind!
He had worked hard for so long, and finally managed to improve and ease the relationship with An Ran, and then it was back to the freezing point.
Tired and frustrated, there are simply no suitable words to describe his bad mood at this time.
Reason reminded him that he must find a remedy immediately, but his body seemed to be extremely tired and he was too lazy to move.
After a long time, Nie Canghao finally opened his eyes and picked up his cell phone to contact Huo Yan.
Huo Yan answered the phone. He was at the home of his mentor, Academician Yue Jianguo. The background sound was very noisy. It must be that Yue Jianguo's students had come to pay New Year's greetings to their teacher.
"Happy New Year, Mr. Nie!" Huo Yan smiled and sounded very sunny.
Nie Canghao suppressed his complaints and reluctantly answered: "Happy New Year."
"Did you quarrel with your wife again?" Huo Yan really knew him well and knew that his phone call at this time was not just for New Year greetings.
"It's okay...it's just a small matter. I wish Mr. Yue a happy new year for me, and I'll talk to you when I have time." Nie Canghao hung up the phone.
He pinched his eyebrows, trying his best to calm down.
In fact, he knew very well where the fundamental problem between him and Enron lay! But it was an unsolvable problem.
No matter how scumbag or disgusting Lu Yichang is, he is An Ran's biological father. If he really forces Lu Yichang to death, An Ran will never be able to accept him again.
Even though Bai Ling was hypocritical, he didn't want to kill them all. He even hoped that she would leave the country quickly and return to Reg, and never see each other again in this life.
But An Ran refused. If Bai Ling is not captured and she is not allowed to remain in jail, An Ran will continue to suspect that he has unresolved feelings for Bai Ling.
These problems cannot be solved even if Huo Yan is consulted.
Nie Canghao pondered for a long time and finally stood up. He picked up the car keys and quickly left the president's office.
It’s a mess, and you have to find the main clue to solve it first.
Commercial street hotel, suites.
Lu Renjie lay straight upright with a look of self-abasement on his face.
Next to him, Lu Yichang kept nagging: "Our Lu family can't just end like this! You have to cheer up and discuss a solution with Xiaoran."
"Xiao Ran has already given birth to a son for Nie Canghao. For her sake, Nie Canghao will not kill all our Lu family!"
"You and Xiaoran brother and sister have always had a good relationship. If you discuss it with her in person, she will definitely give you face!"
No matter what Lu Yichang said, Lu Renjie remained silent.
He saw the message An Ran sent him, but did not reply because he didn't know how to tell her.
Although he was deeply disappointed in his father, he was his father after all.
Lu Renjie couldn't ignore his father, and he couldn't shamelessly drag his sister into the water, so she simply left her alone.
"Renjie, you are the heir to the Lu family. You can't just watch the Lu family collapse! You have to cheer up!" Lu Yichang continued to mobilize his son earnestly.
Lu Renjie's eyelids moved, and he finally spoke feebly: "How do you want me to cheer up? For all the things you have done, Nie Canghao has spared you even if he doesn't kill you. How do you expect him to let Mr. Lu go?"
"Ha, if he dares to touch me, we will die together!" Lu Yichang gritted his teeth viciously. "I don't believe Xiao Ran can be so cruel as to stand by and watch."
"Can you please stop involving her?" Lu Renjie couldn't bear it anymore.
"She is the daughter of the Lu family. At times like this, she should stand up for the Lu family! Her son even took one percent of the Lu family's equity!"
"Don't mention it again, it's all a trap set by you!" Lu Renjie regretted it endlessly.
He never imagined that his father would be so sophisticated, and he felt like a puppet on strings, stepping into the trap he had dug step by step.
"Young hero, my father's death is not a pity. But if I watch you ruined like this, I will never rest in peace!" Lu Yichang burst into tears when he said this.
Xiaogang brought over the tissue box.
Lu Yichang waved his hand and continued: "Today, I have no choice but you and Xiaogang to stay with me. Dad may leave one day, but I don't worry about you and Xiaogang.
...and Xiaoran, you are all my flesh and blood!"
Lu Renjie: "..."
He got up and looked at Xiaogang carefully.
Xiaogang still lowered his head slightly and lowered his eyes, unable to tell what was going on. Only his hands were slightly clenched, and his white knuckles exposed his inner emotions.
Lu Renjie didn't realize until today that Xiaogang was also his father's flesh and blood.
No wonder Xiaogang has always followed his father loyally, because there is a family relationship.
Before Lu Renjie could say anything, Xiaogang suddenly raised his eyes warily. "Someone is coming."
Lu Yichang looked resigned to his fate and sighed: "We are at the end of our rope. I have nothing to fear from anyone. The worst I can do is hand over my life..."
Before he finished speaking, there was an unfriendly knock on the door.
Xiaogang walked over and took a look through the peephole. "Master Nie is here with his people."
Lu Yichang immediately became energetic when he heard this. A cunning joy flashed in his peach blossom eyes, and he murmured: "He finally couldn't hold his anger anymore! Xiaogang, go and open the door!"
Seeing his father's calculations in his eyes, Lu Renjie realized something was wrong and hurriedly asked: "What on earth do you want to do?"
Before Lu Yichang could answer, Xiaogang had already opened the door, and Nie Canghao walked in with a few close friends.
Lu Yichang couldn't help but shrink his neck when he saw Nie Canghao's cold and sinister eyes.
But thinking that he still had An Ran's amulet in his hand, he gained some courage.
"Master Nie, our whole family is here except Xiao Ran." Lu Yichang sighed with a sad and depressed look on his face. "Do you really want to kill them all?"
Nie Canghao didn't bother to deal with this old thief and directly made a condition: "Take your precious son and go back to the port city immediately. Don't set foot in the imperial capital again. Don't let me see you again. I'll keep you a dog."
life!"
Lu Yichang rolled his eyes, sighed helplessly, spread his hands and said:
"The Lu Group is facing bankruptcy and liquidation, and both of us have become paupers. If we go back, we will become the laughing stock of Hong Kong City."
"At my age, as long as I can survive in the port city, I won't leave my hometown and come to the imperial capital to join my married daughter!"
"It is said that a married daughter throws away water. Logically speaking, she should not be disturbed again. But I am bankrupt and don't have a daughter to support me in my old age. What else can I do?"
