After Xia Ran finished speaking, she deliberately rolled her eyes at Zhu Qian. She couldn't see her anyway.
Zhu Qian saw it, but she couldn't let anyone know that she could see. She could only continue to pretend. She gritted her teeth and retorted, "Don't be smug. You just happened to take advantage of the opportunity. If I was by Mu Hua's side at that time, you wouldn't have had a chance!"
"Is that so? Then why weren't you by Mu Hua's side at that time? God just doesn't want the two of you to be together, understand?" After saying that, Xia Ran returned to the bed and covered herself with the blanket again.
Seeing that Xia Ran didn't take her seriously and actually ran off to sleep as she spoke, Zhu Qian was furious, but she could not flare up. She could only pretend to grope her way into the room.
Seeing Xia Ran and Mu Hua's wedding photos hanging in the master bedroom, Zhu Qian was filled with jealousy.
In the photo, Xia Ran was wearing a gorgeous wedding dress and holding a pure white bouquet in her hand. She stood beside Mu Hua and smiled happily.
The two of them were dressed in the same color and looked very compatible.
How blinding!
"Xia Ran, you don't have to provoke me. It's only a matter of time before Mu Hua marries me. I advise you to see things clearly early. If you leave now, you can still leave with some dignity. I can also compensate you in private." Zhu Qian said in a benevolent tone.
"I also advise you to get out of my room while I'm still talking to you nicely! Otherwise, don't blame me for attacking a blind person like you." Xia Ran also lost her temper and scolded rudely.
Zhu Qian felt like a fishbone was stuck in her throat. She was speechless.
Xia Ran lay on the bed and started playing with her phone, not even looking at Zhu Qian again. After a while, Zhu Qian fumbled her way out.
She really took her undeserved gain for granted. Xia Ran felt that Zhu Qian was annoying.
She was so good at acting. She wondered if she was really blind or faking it.
Just as Xia Ran was considering getting out of bed, she suddenly received a call. The other party was a friend who she grew up together with in the orphanage. His name was Sun Lian. They hadn't seen each other for a long time.
"Xia Ran, is it convenient for us to meet tonight? I have something to tell you," Sun Lian said over the phone.
"What is it? Can't we talk over the phone?" Xia Ran was a little puzzled.
Sun Lian insisted on saying it in person and said that it was very important. Xia Ran agreed on account that they had grown up together in the orphanage.
At night, Xia Ran arrived at the place she had arranged with Sun Lian. It was a bar.
Sun Lian had booked a private room in the bar. When Xia Ran went over, she realized that there were four men and a woman there.
"Xia Ran, you're here. Come and sit!" When Sun Lian saw Xia Ran, he immediately welcomed her warmly and pulled her to sit down.
Xia Ran felt a little baffled. She didn't know any of the people around her, including Sun Lian. He had dyed his hair yellow and looked like a hooligan.
Instinctively she sat a little farther away, her hand in her purse. She'd brought a bottle of pepper spray.
"I actually called you today because I have something very important to tell you." Sun Lian had drunk a lot and reeked of alcohol. He looked at Xia Ran with a wretched look in his eyes.
"I've actually liked you for a long time. I liked you when we were kids. I didn't muster the courage until today. Will you be my girlfriend? I promise I'll be good to you!"
Xia Ran was stunned. Her relationship with Sun Lian wasn't that good, so why did he suddenly confess?
The few people around him immediately clamored for Xia Ran to agree to Sun Lian.
How could she agree? This was a complete farce.
"I'm sorry, Sun Lian. I can't promise you that." Xia Ran got up. The atmosphere here made her feel uncomfortable.
When Sun Lian was in the orphanage, he was a mischievous child. Moreover, he liked to beat people up and steal things. He left the orphanage at the age of 15 and Xia Ran had never heard from him since.
In any case, she didn't like this person much. It was just that she had no parents and her friends from the orphanage were half family, so she came.
"Why? Do you think I'm poor? Do you think I don't have money?" Sun Lian asked, as if he was deliberately looking for trouble.
Xia Ran became even more vigilant. She clenched the pepper spray and shook her head. "No, I haven't been in contact with you for a long time. What's there to talk about?"
However, Sun Lian refused to let go of this point, as if it would bruise his ego if Xia Ran didn't agree.
