Chapter 127: First Meeting

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Li Ran recalled what happened a few days ago. Li Ci and Yuan Shu parted on bad terms at the Yunshe Teahouse. Although she wasn’t at the scene that day, she still felt a little regretful when she heard her uncle Li Ci mention this.

Li Ran asked Li Ci, “Uncle, I’ve never seen you admire a woman so much in so many years. Tell me seriously, do you have any romantic feelings for Yuan Shu?”

Li Ci was stunned and felt that this was nonsense, but in Li Ran’s opinion, it was as if his thoughts had been exposed. “Uncle, it’s rare for you to fall for someone, so what if Yuan Shu is married? As long as you give it your all, there’s no one you can’t poach!”

Li Ci was so amused by his niece that he smiled and tousled her soft hair. After a few strands of hair on the top of her head stood up from the static electricity, Li Ci laughed even harder.

He said, “Silly girl, 1 definitely don’t have that kind of feelings for Yuan Shu. Indeed, I admire her very much. I’ve seen all kinds of women, but Yuan Shu is very different from them. Yuan Shu makes me feel…”

Li Ci paused for a moment before he thought of a suitable explanation. “She makes me feel like I’ve met an evenly matched opponent. She’s an opponent that 1 admire. I’m willing to be friends with her, but if I can’t be friends with her, 1 won’t rue over it.”

However, Li Ran felt a little sad and she pouted as she said, “But Uncle, it wasn’t easy for you to make a friend. You have too few friends.”

Li Ci was touched. He knew that this was a little girl’s mentality, but he knew even better that his little niece was feeling sorry for him.

He patted Li Ran’s shoulder as he reasoned with her. “Xiao Ran, I’m destined to be different from others. What I need when making friends isn’t just getting along well. What 1 need is to be evenly matched and tacit understanding. I have few friends because I’m too picky, but I’m very satisfied with my pickiness.”

At the age of 26, although Li Ran had experienced an unhappy marriage, she still felt that she was a child. It was only because her family indulged her that she matured slowly. Today, her uncle’s words suddenly enlightened her.

At that moment, Li Ran thought of the conversation that day and added calmly, “Madam Shi, take it as my allegiance to you. 1 hope that our families will still be friends and instead of enemies in the future.”

Yuan Shu was stunned. She clearly didn’t expect Li Ran to say such a thing.

Ever since she found out that the Li family wanted to get involved in Yuan An, even Zhao Mian became more vigilant towards Li Ci and her communication with Li Ci was limited to business cooperations.

The two families had a tacit understanding not to mention what happened at Yunshe Teahouse, but today, Li Ran, the spoiled heiress, suddenly mentioned it.

“Okay.” Yuan Shu agreed solemnly while feeling grateful.

After Li Ran hung up the phone, she suddenly felt relaxed and happy, as if the huge rock that had been weighing on her heart had finally been lifted, she felt unprecedentedly relaxed.

She walked out happily and started walking faster and faster, so much so that she didn’t notice the gap in the manhole cover.

Li Ran was wearing a pair of pink stilettos today, so she aciddentally fell into the manhole.

Li Ran struggled for a long time but couldn’t pull out her heels. Thus, she gave up struggling and picked up the phone to call the bodyguard. Unexpectedly, someone walked over.

The man had a clean buzz cut and dull black-framed glasses. He was also carrying a computer bag.

He stopped in front of Li Ran very politely. Li Ran was still holding her phone and was about to make a call when she saw the person stop in front of her. She was momentarily confused.

The boy pointed to the ground. “May I ask if you need any help, miss?”

Li Ran froze, then she nodded in a daze..
