So that's how it is!
Su Ran smiled.
She was forcing herself between Gu Heng and Su Xinyan?
The two of them were mutually in love, perfectly attuned to each other?
Seize this opportunity to bring them together?
Indeed, once people become biased, how ridiculous they are.
Su Ran curled her lips into a faint smile, bright and cheerful.
"I won't bring them together – what can you do to me?"
"You..."
Wen Peipei pointed at Su Ran furiously, flames shooting from her aged eyes.
"Ungrateful wretch, get out! The Su Family has no place for a malicious person like you."
Some words, when heard too often, become meaningless!
All those years she survived on her own, her familial affection had died.
How could her cold, numb heart ripple with their cold words?
If the heart is dead, where can there be any turbulence?
Su Ran couldn't be bothered to waste words with her, not even sparing Wen Peipei an extra glance, as she left the Su Family home without a backward look.
This place had never been her home.
Without her mother, there was no longer any attachment.
She truly had not the slightest desire to be associated with this place.
The dismissive look in Su Ran's eyes made Wen Peipei's face turn particularly ugly.
Just like her mother, uneducated, not even a shadow of Xinyan.
-
When Su Ran stepped out of the Su Family's main gate, the sky began to drizzle.
Only then did Su Ran remember that she had not driven there that day.
In the afternoon, Gu Heng had sent a car to pick her up, under the pretense of 'discussing the wedding.'
The rain grew stronger, and the misty drizzle turned into a steady downpour. Su Ran did not hesitate; she took out her phone and stepped into the rain.
The gloomy weather made the entire road gradually enveloped by a filmy mist.
Amidst the rain and fog, Su Ran did not stop, preferring the downpour to everything about the Su Family.
She knew things wouldn't go so smoothly, but she didn't expect such a shocking twist.
Apparently, to stop the marriage with Gu Heng, Su Xinyan had really gone to great lengths.
This arranged marriage was once set by her mother.
A month earlier, she had just turned twenty-five, the time when her engagement had been agreed upon.
The main purpose of today was to discuss the details of the engagement – once settled, there would be no turning back.
Probably for this very reason, Su Xinyan had decided to go all out with the suicide stunt.
How ruthless!
Su Ran walked through the wind and rain on the wide, desolate road, and at the same time—
On the other side of the road, a subdued black car slowly made its way through the curtain of rain.
The soft rain and the car's sleek lines merged into one, making it exude luxury and prestige through the filmy rain.
Inside the car.
"You little brat, I go abroad for a trip and come back to find you still single?"
The tone was dissatisfied and laden with disdain.
In the backseat of the car sat a man of great beauty, resting with his head propped at an angle, leaning casually. His hair was sharp as if cut by a knife, eyebrows painted like ink, a high nose bridge, and a face expressing a cold indifference. His sensual thin lips complemented his stunningly handsome features that could dazzle the mountains and rivers.
He simply sat there, quietly, the powerful aura of a superior being hitting you in waves, exuding nobility and elegance.
"Don't you know how to chase a girl? Shall grandma give you some advice?"
"Or do you have someone in mind? Or are you eyeing some girl from a good family? Grandma will surely help you deceive... cough, win her over."
The old lady rambled on and on, but the man remained silent.
