He Zheng was also surprised; her father ca, aning tonight’s plans would undoubtedly fall apart.
Si Ran’s father saw Si Ran and He Zheng going upstairs together; He Zheng was holding a cardboard box, which from the outside didn’t reveal what it was.
However, his daughter was wearing a man’s suit.
It seed the two of them had an extraordinary relationship.
"Ranran, I just ca over, thinking you might be working late, so I waited here, and here you are." Si Minde smiled at He Zheng: "Is this your friend?"
"Hello, Uncle." He Zheng imdiately put the box down, extending his hand with a graceful smile to shake hands with Si Minde.
Si Minde also smiled as he shook hands with He Zheng, and jokingly said: "Looks like I ca at the wrong ti tonight."
He Zheng and Si Ran both smiled awkwardly, Si Ran quickly said: "Dad, this is President He, also my friend. He brought back, and is leaving now."
He Zheng was taken aback, glancing at Si Ran, but Si Ran didn’t even look at him.
He Zheng could only follow up with Si Ran’s words: "Yes, Uncle, I saw it was late, so I brought Si Ran back. Now that she’s ho, I’m reassured, and I’ll be leaving."
Saying this, he picked up the box and handed it to Si Ran: "Then I’ll be leaving, take care of the things."
Si Ran took it, her face suddenly warming: "Okay, thank you, President He, I’ll wash the jacket and return it to you."
"Then we’ll see each other so other day," He Zheng said.
"Alright." Si Ran opened the door and went inside with her father.
He Zheng, helpless, had to turn around and leave, entering the elevator; he smiled wryly, Si Ran’s dad was truly a roadblock.
After Si Ran entered the house, she took the box into her room and put it in the cabinet.
Coming back out, Si Minde was looking at her. "Ranran, tell , is this President He your boyfriend?"
Si Ran was stunned and shook her head. "No, Dad, he’s He Zheng, the heir of the He Family in Qingcheng, how could I have such a boyfriend?"
Si Minde frowned. "So he’s a rich young man. You really can’t have such a boyfriend, they wouldn’t see you seriously, only for amusent. It’s better to keep your distance in the future."
"Dad, I understand." Si Ran smiled. "I’m going to change my clothes."
"Why are you wearing soone else’s clothes today?" Si Minde asked.
"My clothes accidentally got torn, he lent his jacket to help out." Si Ran said.
Si Minde nodded. "Rich young n are well-raised and very polite, but unfortunately, kids from such families are often frivolous about feelings. I’ve done so research, and it seems that when economic foundations improve, emotions beco less lasting."
"Dad, I understand your concerns, he and I are really just friends, don’t worry." Si Ran said: "President He is also a good brother to our CEO, he’s a good person."
"Oh, I see." Si Minde nodded, "Are you busy at work lately?"
"Quite busy." Si Ran replied.
"Your mom said, once you’re done with this busy period, she’ll take a long vacation to take you back ho and introduce you to a few prospects, ultimately settling your lifelong matters."
Si Ran was speechless for a mont.
This matter was a longstanding concern for her parents.
She wasn’t very old either; she was only twenty-six, yet being pushed to marry was sowhat frustrating.
After changing her clothes, Si Minde talked with her for a while before getting ready to leave.
"Dad, I don’t have a vacation lately, please tell Mom I don’t have ti this year."
Si Minde paused, his gaze sliding across Si Ran’s face, wanting to say more but stopping.
Si Ran didn’t want her father to worry, so she added: "Dad, regarding my lifelong matters, I still want to decide for myself."
"You like President He, don’t you?" Si Minde looked at her; knowing his daughter best, he could certainly tell.
His daughter seed very obedient but was always a girl with her own ideas.
She was gentle on the outside but strong inside, wouldn’t easily bring a boy ho, and tonight brought one ho, with him seeing it. He had so guesses.
Si Ran was very surprised by her father’s words but still denied it calmly. "Dad, you really misunderstood."
Si Minde just smiled: "Alright, I will convey your wishes to your mom. In matters of emotion, I hope you’ll think twice and avoid regrettable decisions."
Si Ran nodded, "I understand."
Si Minde sat for a while and then left.
Si Ran took a shower, changed her clothes, stood on the balcony, took out her phone, and saw a ssage.
It was from He Zheng: Si Ran, I’ll wait for you, let’s et another day.
Si Ran stared at it, a complex emotion crossing her eyes, but she didn’t reply.
Putting the phone down, she poured a glass of wine, slowly savoring it alone, although the night was dark, she felt no sleepiness.
Pei Family.
Pei Liyan ca out of the study and saw Qiao Rui still on the phone when he returned to the bedroom.
He was surprised and listened carefully, realizing the call was from Lin Qingshi.
He walked in, and Qiao Rui imdiately put the phone on speaker, letting Pei Liyan listen too.
Lin Qingshi said on the phone: "Qiao Rui, you’re impressive, turning my Lin Family into this!"
"Mr. Lin, your family’s fall wasn’t because of ." Qiao Rui carefully chose her words to prevent recording. "Your family’s situation today is determined by your family’s own conduct; external factors don’t change anything, the internal factor is decisive."
Lin Qingshi sneered coldly: "Don’t talk jargon to , I’m not listening to that nonsense. Tell , what does it take for you to stop?"
"Mr. Lin, it’s late; I should rest." Qiao Rui found it amusing.
The terms were already proposed, why go over old ground?
Lin Qingshi asked again but still didn’t want to pay.
Yet, this call was to probe what leverage Qiao Rui had.
She was about to hang up.
"Qiao girl," Lin Qingshi said sternly: "Not leaving any room for the Lin Family?"
"The Lin Family’s way out is under Mr. Lin’s feet; however it goes, is walked by Mr. Lin himself." Qiao Rui said nonchalantly: "What does it have to do with ?"
"Huh!" Lin Qingshi said: "Let’s et again."
"No need." Qiao Rui said: "Contact the Qiao Family’s finance departnt directly for business, we don’t need to et again, Mr. Lin, good night."
With that, Qiao Rui hung up.
Lin Qingshi was so angry he almost smashed his phone.
Her intention was clear, return the money, then talk.
Contacting finance ant, at the very least, returning so money; this Qiao girl’s sixth daughter was ruthless, accomplishing things unnoticed, making it impossible to catch any clues.
What other important information might she have in her hands?
Then, the phone rang.
Seeing it was Qiao Xiang calling.
Lin Qingshi was displeased but answered.
"What do you want?" he spoke impatiently.
"Grandfather, I saw the news, wanted to check on you, but there are reporters outside Lin Family, so I’m not coming in." Qiao Xiang said.
"Are you watching a joke on us?" Lin Qingshi retorted.
"Grandfather, Qiao Rui surely has more dirt. You’ve seen the current situation too; between thirty-seven billion and Lin Family’s entirety, I believe you can judge their weight!"
