Zhou Han also saw Su Yi Cheng and was also a little surprised. I was here today to discuss cooperation with a client, and then the client sent me away. I thought it was still a little early, so I came to the bar here for a drink before going back. Looking at the side face that looked very similar to Ye Ziwen, he tentatively called out, but he didn't expect that Su Yi Cheng was there.

Ye Ziwen on the side seemed to hear someone calling him, and then he reacted slowly. He looked up at Su Yi Cheng's expression, turned around and saw Zhou Han standing a few steps away. "Zhou Han, do you want to have a drink? Come and join us." After saying this, he suddenly realized that he spoke too quickly and subconsciously turned his head to look at Su Yi Cheng's reaction.

Zhou Han knew that Su Yi Cheng didn't want to see him. In fact, no one would want to see the person who betrayed him again, so he just wanted to say, "I——"

"Let's go together." Su Yi Cheng said calmly, his tone was calm and his face was calm with no emotion at all. After speaking, he turned his head away.

Zhou Han couldn't react, so he stood looking at him blankly.

Ye Ziwen was stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted, smiled at Zhou Han and said, "Zhou Han, come here and let's have a drink." After that, he got up and went to pull him over.

I directly asked the waiter for another cup, then poured him a drink and asked, "How are you doing with Xiao Bin recently? I haven't seen that little guy for a while."

"Very good." Zhou Han took the wine and touched it with him.

"You -" Ye Ziwen wanted to say something else, but suddenly the cell phone in his pocket rang at this time. When he took it out, he was a little surprised to find that it was Su Yijiao's call. He was overjoyed and hurriedly answered the call, "Hello, Xiaojiao?"

Hearing this, Su Yi Cheng frowned slightly and turned to look at him.

I don't know what was said on the other side of the phone, but Ye Ziwen frowned slightly and said in a cold voice: "Where is she?...Okay, I'll be there right away." After that, he hung up the phone and said to Su Yi Cheng and Zhou Han , "I have something to do temporarily, so I'll leave first."

"Did something happen to Yi Jiao?" Su Yi Cheng asked with a frown. After all, she was his sister, so he was still worried.

"Xiaojiao was drunk at the bar." He said as he took the suit jacket on the side.

"I'll go with you." Su Yi Cheng said.

"No, I'll just go." Ye Ziwen refused, and stood up and walked out, leaving Su Yi Cheng and Zhou Han sitting at the bar.

The atmosphere seemed a little awkward. Zhou Han was the first to speak and asked, "Why don't you come over and take a look?"

Su Yi Cheng went back to the past,

He shook his head with a slight smile, "I trust Zi Wen."

"Hello, the pasta you ordered." At this time, the waiter brought the pasta he ordered.

"Thank you." Su Yi Cheng took the chopsticks and began to enjoy his dinner.

Seemingly trying to find a topic, Zhou Han said without a word, "I haven't eaten yet."

"Yes." Su Yi Cheng nodded and said nothing more.

Then there was endless silence. Su Yi Cheng was concentrating on his dinner, while Zhou Han was concentrating on drinking his wine. The two sat side by side, but there was no topic of conversation at all.

Zhou Han was drinking, with the corners of his mouth slightly curled up in a self-deprecating way.

After finishing the bowl of noodles, Su Yi Cheng asked the waiter to put away the dishes, then turned to look at him and said calmly: "I saw that you also submitted bids for the renovation project of the old district."

"Just invest." In fact, he didn't dare to have much hope for this. After all, it had only been less than half a year since the company moved back to China. Although he thought that the bidding document and design were perfect, he also knew that compared with those so-called leading companies in terms of strength, , I have no advantage at all.

Hearing this, Su Yi Cheng just said calmly: "Since I don't have the confidence to successfully complete this project, why did I invest in it in the first place?"

"We are absolutely confident about the project, but we don't have hope about winning the bid." Zhou Han corrected him.

Su Yi Cheng didn't say anything, but took a sip from the water on the bar.

Looking at him, Zhou Han said calmly, "Is everything okay with your wife? I'm sorry about what happened last time."

Su Yi Cheng naturally knew that he was referring to An Ran's fall before, so he nodded, "It's pretty good."

Zhou Han nodded and said nothing. Holding the wine glass, he looked at the brownish-yellow liquid in the quilt, shook the glass gently, then raised his head and drank all the wine in the glass. He knew that they would never be able to sit together and drink and chat like before, and even if he wanted to, he would feel uncomfortable. When he stood up and was about to leave, Su Yi Cheng beside him spoke at this moment.

"You actually chose to give up so many things to be with her, so why did you choose to separate when you wanted to leave?" Su Yi Cheng looked at him steadily, not wanting to say anything, but still asked.

Zhou Han paused and looked at him intently, his hands hanging on both sides clenched tightly subconsciously. She closed her eyes in pain, then opened them after a while, and said with a wry smile: "She will betray you, and of course she will betray me." After that, he didn't say anything more, just paid the bill and left.

Su Yi Cheng looked at his back until he disappeared at the door of the bar, and then came back to his senses.

The bidding results for the first project in the Science and Technology City came out. 'Jingcheng Construction' did not win the bid. As for the old city reconstruction project, 'Hanhai Real Estate' finally won the bid. This result surprised many people, but it also surprised this person. Little-known small and medium-sized companies quickly became familiar. Enron was greatly surprised by this result and did not understand why they would abandon more powerful companies and choose such a small company.

However, the question was still unsolved. An Ran did not ask Su Yi Cheng one more word. She always adhered to her duty and did not ask a single word that she should not ask or say.

That day, An Ran was sitting at the bar, studying the recipes carefully, preparing to cook a sumptuous dinner that night, when Lin Li's call came in at this time.

When she picked up the phone, she heard Lin Li's somewhat excited voice coming from the other end of the phone, "Anzi, I found a job!" Lin Li has been looking for a job these days. In fact, when she was with Cheng Xiang, she had no interest in work. It's just a playful mentality. Anyway, she won't be hungry if she finds Cheng Xiang, so her attitude towards work has never been serious. But it won't work this time. She really has to work hard, both for herself and for Father Lin and Mother Lin.

Although Dad Lin's operation was successful, he still needs a lot of medicine for a period of time. The cost of the medicine alone will cost a lot of money. The Lin family could only be considered well-off at first, but this time Dad Lin's illness has cost almost all the money in the family. As the only daughter in the family, Lin Li naturally has to take on all the responsibilities.

An Ran once told Lin Li that she had some savings on hand after working for so long. Although it was not much, it could solve Lin Li's current predicament. If Lin Li was willing, she could lend her the money first, but Lin Li Li refused. Lin Li has changed a lot since she separated from Cheng Xiang, becoming independent and strong, but her persistence made An Ran feel particularly sorry for her and reluctant to let go.

"Really, what do you do? What company?" An Ran put down the recipe in her hand and was happy that she had found a job.

"It's a real estate company, or house sales. I'll start working tomorrow." Lin Li said, "I've never done anything else before. I still have some experience in this, although I haven't sold a few houses." Lin Li said. Rei chuckled, with a hint of playfulness in her tone.

"It's okay, just pretend you don't know how to do it and start learning again." An Ran comforted her, imitating her previous tone, and said: "Our old Buddha is so smart, why is it difficult to sell a house? Buying a house will not be a problem when the time comes."

Lin Li laughed loudly and said: "Haha, I like to hear what Xiao Anzi said to me. Come on, please give me some flattery to make the Ai family happy. If you say it well, the Ai family will be rewarded heavily."

"Lafayette, you are naturally beautiful and smart. You are loved by everyone and you drive around with your flowers!" An Ran felt that the compliment was a bit contrary to his will.

"Yeah, that's good. Keep going. The Aijia likes to hear it." Lin Li was very helpful, as if she was completely immersed in it.

"You are as beautiful as a fairy, your grace is outstanding, you are crowned with beauty, your manners are endless, your beauty is unrivaled." An Ran used all the sentences and idioms he could think of for her.

Lin Li nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yeah, very good, very good, what else?"

An Ran vomited blood and said angrily: "Fuck you, I opened the dyeing room just to give you some color. If you don't feel ashamed, I'll feel sorry for you, but you're still going on!"

"Xiao Anzi, you are rebelling against you. Do you believe that the Ai family is looking for someone to drag you out now?" Lin Li was completely in the state, "Someone, drag this bold slave out to fight." In her thirties, let’s see if she dares to speak rudely in the future.”

"Haha." An Ran held the phone and smiled, as if the Lin Li from before was back, so happy and joyful.

Lin Li also laughed. The two of them seemed to have really returned to the original feeling, without any worries.

"Jingle Bell--"

Just when An Ran was holding her cell phone and smiling with Lin Li, the doorbell rang at this moment.

An Ran turned her head and looked at the door. She remembered that Qin Yun said last night that she would bring chicken soup to her to replenish her health today. She hurriedly said to her cell phone: "Lin Li, I won't tell you for now. Maybe my mother-in-law is here."

"Hmm, okay, by the way, let's go out for dinner another day, I'll treat you." Lin Li said before hanging up the phone.

"Well, that's it for now." An Ran smiled and hung up the phone.

"Ding-a-ling--" Seemingly as no one opened the door, the person outside the door rang the doorbell again.

"Come on, come on." An Ran got up and got off the high chair, responded and walked quickly towards the door. Without looking at the peephole, he consciously thought it was Qin Yun coming over. Without thinking much, he opened the door. However, when he opened the door, he was stunned when he saw the person standing outside the door.

Outside the door, Ling Ran was wearing a long bohemian dress with suspenders, her long curly hair shawl down, sunglasses that were enough to cover half of her face, a canvas bag in her hand, and she was looking at it with a smile. With An Ran.

An Ran didn't expect that it was Ling Ran who came instead of Qin Yun. She was stunned for a while, then slowly came back to her senses and looked at her and said calmly, "Why is it you?"

Reaching out to take off the sunglasses from her face, Lingran said with half-curved lips, "Won't you invite me in to sit down?"

An Ran didn't move away, looked at her and just said: "I don't think there is anything interesting to talk to Miss Ling." After saying that, she wanted to close the door and go in. She didn't know what Ling Ran wanted to do, but she could instinctively treat this woman I feel disgusted, especially knowing that she deliberately asked Xiaobin to push her last time. I feel disgusted with her behavior. She is also a mother, but how could she treat her child like this!

Reaching out to block An Ran's door from closing, Lingran said with a half-smile, "Is this how Vice Mayor Su's family treats guests?"

"Hospitality." An Ran chuckled, looked at her, and said bluntly: "I don't think Miss Ling is a guest."

Lingran looked at her steadily, the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little cold, and the color he looked at her was also a bit piercing.

Ignoring her cold eyes and sneer, looking at her hand, An Ran frowned displeased and said seriously: "If Miss Ling insists on not letting go, I don't mind calling the security guard to ask you to leave."

"Haha." Lingran took her hand back, looked at her with a smile and said, "Mrs. Su, why are you so serious? What can I, a weak woman, do to you? Besides, I heard that Mrs. Su is pregnant now. , but don’t get angry, lest you hurt the child, that’s not good.”

"Thank you for reminding me." An Ran replied calmly, with a cold expression on his face, and prepared to close the door again.

"You don't want to know why I came today." Lingran said the moment she closed the door: "If I said that I came today for A Cheng's future future, would you still block me from the door like this? Outside?"

The door was closed at the same time as she finished speaking. Lingran was not angry, and still had a smile on her face. She patted the door gently with her sunglasses in her hand, as if she was sure that An Ran would open the door again after a while.

Sure enough, An Ran didn't keep her waiting for long. The door was reopened less than a minute after closing. An Ran looked at her steadily, looked at her for a while, and then asked: "What did you mean by what you just said?" .”

Lingran smiled, looked at him and said, "I don't like being blocked at the door and talking. This feeling is really uncomfortable."

An Ran said nothing and finally turned sideways to let her in. He turned around and entered the house, but did not close the door.

Lingran looked around at the decoration of the entire house, and finally sat down on the sofa. She said with a half-smile, "The house is quite beautiful, but I remember that Cheng didn't like this style."

An Ran sat down opposite her and smiled lightly, "People change, not to mention the fact that you haven't seen each other for so many years. Besides, Yi Cheng loves me. Even if he really doesn't like me, he will accommodate me."

Lingran pulled her lips, but there was no smile on her face. She snorted and said, "I didn't come here today to admire your house."

"I didn't let you in to visit my house." An Ran said, "So please make it clear to Miss Ling what you meant by what you just said."

Hearing this, Lingran curled her lips proudly and said, "If I said that I could help A Cheng's future career, would you believe it?"

An Ran looked at her steadily, "I believe it, but I don't think Yi Cheng will be able to get out without your help, and I think you should also know that Yi Cheng doesn't disdain such means at all. He has this Strength does not need to rely on your relationships."

After spending so much time together, she didn't dare to say how much she knew about Su Yi Cheng, but regarding some of Su Yi Cheng's behavior and behavior, she absolutely believed that Su Yi Cheng was not the kind of person who would like to see nepotism rise to power. He had his own He is proud, and with his ability, he can go very far even without those external factors. For example, he is now at this position at such a young age. This is the best affirmation and proof of his ability!

"I have known A Cheng longer than you, and I naturally know him much better than you do. You don't need to tell me all this. No one knows better than me what kind of person he is." Lingran gave her a somewhat unflattering look. , took out the cigarettes and lighter from the bag, smoked a cigarette directly, put it in his mouth, and then lit it with the lighter with a "pop" sound.

"Please put it out." An Ran frowned in displeasure. She refused to smoke secondhand smoke, especially when she was still pregnant with her baby.

Lingran glanced at her, pretending to be sorry and said: "Oh, I'm sorry, look at me, I forgot that there was a pregnant woman sitting in front of me." She said this, but she didn't seem to have any intention of putting out the cigarette. , frowned in distress and said: "But what should I do? I'm addicted to cigarettes. If I don't smoke, I feel very uncomfortable, so I can only tolerate it for a while." He took another deep puff. , and the smoke ring that was spit out was specifically directed in the direction of An Ran.

An Ran didn't speak, just frowned and covered her nose with her hand.

Knocking the cigarette ashes directly onto the smooth floor, Lingran continued: "Maybe I didn't speak clearly just now. What I meant by official career was whether A Cheng can continue on this road in the future, or Will he be investigated by the relevant departments for some reasons, and what problems will be found out?"

An Ran suddenly turned his head to look at her, his eyes widened slightly and asked, "What do you mean!" Was she trying to frame Su Yi Cheng on purpose?

"Haha." Lingran smiled and said, "I said it so clearly, why can't you still hear it? That's really stupid."

"Do you think I will believe you? Don't think that because your father is the mayor of Jiangcheng, your family can do whatever you want. Jiangcheng was not run by your family. Besides, if Yicheng has never done anything, he can act and sit upright. , I’m not afraid of what you will investigate." An Ran said this, but for no reason, she felt a little panicked in her heart. Even she herself couldn't explain what she felt and why she was like this!

"Haha." Lingran smiled and shook her head, "Gu Anran, am I saying that you are too innocent, or that you are too single and stupid? What do you think the battle in the officialdom is? Are you naive enough to say that you didn't do anything yourself? Nothing will happen. It's really funny. Let me tell you, if someone really wants to bring you down, it's not up to you to decide whether they do it or not." After saying that, he put the gun in his hand again. He put the cigarette in his mouth, took a deep breath, looked at her mockingly, shook his head and said, "You are not qualified to stand next to Cheng. You don't even understand the most basic rules of survival in officialdom. If you can't even detect the hidden dangers around you, you will cause a lot of trouble for Cheng."

An Ran subconsciously held her hands tightly and asked him, "What do you want to do, are you planning to frame Yi Cheng?" The panic and fear in her heart gradually expanded. She didn't know what she was afraid of, but she was just afraid. Very scared.

"Don't say it so harshly. It depends on whether you give her a chance or not." She didn't want to do this, but they didn't give her a chance. She was also betting, and she joined everyone in the bet, and she won. She has everything, and if she loses, she will be doomed, so she must win this time!

An Ran shook his head and held his hands tightly on both sides, "No, Yi Cheng will not give you this chance. I believe him. He has never done it before, so we are not afraid."

"Hmph." Lingran snorted coldly, put out the cigarette in her hand and put it into the fruit plate on the low table, and said: "In addition to telling you this today, I also hope to make a deal with you. If you are willing, Abort the child in your belly and divorce A Cheng. I can help him, but if you don't want to, don't blame me for not missing the old relationship. It's all up to you. How about this deal? Either agree or not."

"Impossible!" An Ran refused. How could she agree to abort the child in her belly? It was her baby, the child of her and Su Yi Cheng. Even if it cost her life, there was no way she would agree. Not wanting this child, he looked at her and said with some excitement: "I won't believe your nonsense. Besides, I don't think Yi Cheng is a soft persimmon that you can handle."

"Haha." Lingran smiled. She was not surprised at all by her reaction. She reached out and brushed the long black curly hair, took the bag on the sofa, turned around and stood up in a coquettish way, with half a smile at the corner of her mouth. He looked at her with a smile and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't agree now. I'll wait. I'll wait for you to come to me crying and begging for permission!"

An Ran also stood up, looked back at her steadily, and said decisively: "It's better if you die, and nothing like that will ever happen!"

"Haha, then I'll wait and see." Lingran looked at her and said with a sneer, straightening her skirt again, "I've said everything I want to say. It's up to you to think carefully about what to do next. If you really I love Cheng, I think you will know what to do." After saying that, he glanced at An Ran intentionally or unintentionally, then turned around and left the room with a smile.

Lingran was in a good mood and stood at the elevator door waiting for the elevator with a chuckle, humming a little tune.

The elevator opened in response, and Qin Yun came out of the elevator carrying a thermos bottle. She looked at Lingran who was a little surprised that she appeared here, "Lingran?"

"Mother Su." Lingran called with a slight smile, "Long time no see."

"Why are you here?" Qin Yun looked at her puzzled.

"I came to talk to An Ran about something." Lingran smiled, raised her hand to look at her watch, and said a little apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry, so I'll leave first." After entering the elevator, something suddenly occurred to her. , turned around and said with a smile: "Mother Su, let's drink tea together when we have time."

Qin Yun had no time to pay attention to her, so she turned around and walked towards Su Yi Cheng's apartment. The door was not closed. As soon as she reached the door, she could smell the smell of cigarette smoke in the room. An Ran seemed to be sitting on the sofa in a daze.
