Luan Ran x Xi Shangchen
After the engagement party, Luan Ran flew out of the country. Luan Shan's jewelry also has a large market abroad. There was a problem with the big order signed there. She went abroad for work. Xi Shangchen didn't see her for many days and didn't reply to the messages he sent her. All of them fell into the sea.
Zhou Bai is Xi Shangchen's assistant. The boss was busy with social events last month, and he pushed it all off this month. It would be strange if there were no tricks. Zhou Bai didn't know why the boss acted strangely at first until the boss asked him to develop photos... He understood everything!
He thought that the photo with Luan Ran at the engagement party was to be shown to Grandpa Xi, but the boss put the photo in a frame in the office... Other colleagues said that the boss was suspected of putting on a show, pretending that he and his fiancée were very affectionate, but Zhou Bai didn't think it was necessary. After all, putting on a show doesn't require looking at photos all the time.
As a smart assistant, Zhou Bai said as soon as Xi Shangchen finished the meeting, "Boss, I just talked to Luan Shan's people. They said that Mr. Luan will take a flight back to the capital this afternoon."
"Yeah."
Xi Shangchen responded indifferently. God knows how many waves in his heart. Luan Ran has not replied to his messages in the past few days. She is on a business trip in Europe, not Africa. There is no such situation that which she cannot use her mobile phone. She simply doesn't want to pay attention to him. Xi Shangchen knows it very well.
For the first time, Xi Shangchen felt regretful after doing something bad. He thought Luan Ran was angry because of what happened on the day of the engagement banquet.
It was also the first time that he felt confused for no reason and didn't know what to do.
So he went through a lot of ways to find the contact information of Luan Ran's sister, Luan Yan. The closest person in Luan Ran's life is her sister. She will act like a spoiled child to her sister, hug her sister, and be sticky like a child. To be honest, Xi Shangchen is a little jealous.
As soon as he added his friend, he realized that he was being stupid, but apart from Luan Yan, he couldn't think of anyone else who could help him out of the predicament.
Although Xi Shangchen's reaction seemed indifferent, he walked straight to the elevator.
Zhou Bai was very sensible, and he was ready to pick him up at the airport.
At 4 pm, Luan Ran's plane landed on time, and he walked out of the airport with a suitcase, but there were more than just the two of them to pick him up.
One of them was Luan Ran's assistant named Xiao Sang, and the other man next to Xiao Sang was someone Xi Shangchen didn't recognize. It seemed that he had a good relationship with Luan Ran, and Luan Ran waved to him.
"Xiao Bai Zhou, are you here to pick me up?"
Luan Ran said to Zhou Bai with a smile. Xi Shangchen had a blank expression on his face, and only he knew what he was thinking in his heart. Zhou Bai's appearance was also the type of clean, tall, thin, fair and refreshing type, and the unknown man who came to pick him up was also the same. Xi Shangchen had studied every blind date of Luan Ran, and Luan Ran's aesthetics were very fixed.
Thinking of this, Xi Shangchen frowned.
Zhou Bai felt uneasy. The boss was here, but the future boss lady didn't talk to the boss but to him. It looked wrong... He cleverly opened the car door and said, "Boss Luan, get in the car."
Luan Ran shook his head and said, "No, I won't get in the car. My friend is here to pick me up. There's a party."
Zhou Bai complained in his heart, can the boss lady explain to the boss... There's no need to say such things to an assistant like him. If he doesn't talk to the boss again, the problem will be very serious. He felt that his boss's IQ and EQ were seriously reduced.
"There will be a birthday party in Yao Shi in a few days." Xi Shangchen finally spoke, and in return he got a look from Luan Ran.
"Sorry, I have to go on a business trip tomorrow, and it will take a long time." After
Luan Ran finished speaking, he turned around and got into the man's car without staying for long.
The assistant felt cold in his heart. It was over. He was finished. If he had known, he would not have mentioned the airport pick-up. Now, the boss saw the boss's wife get into another man's car. The only thing he said was that the invitation was rejected. What would the boss think?
Xi Shangchen said nothing, not even a superfluous expression, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
After getting in the car, Luan Ran looked at the window. Xi Shangchen was still standing there. As the car started, his figure became smaller and smaller.
Luan Ran did not lie to him. She did have a party in the evening and had to go on a business trip tomorrow, but it was also true that she did not want to see him. After the last engagement party, Luan Ran's heart was in a mess. She tried very hard not to expose it in front of him. In fact, she didn't know what expression to use to face him. When she saw his face, she didn't know where to look and subconsciously avoided his gaze.
Luan Ran would try to calm herself down. If it was not necessary, she would not have had too much contact with Xi Shangchen. She was also very busy these days and had no time to think about it, so those vague feelings were ignored. Xi
Shangchen did not see Luan Ran for a long time after the airport. The only thing that accompanied him was the photo taken at the engagement party, which was placed on his desk. Occasionally, he would look up and see her smiling face in the photo. He felt an inexplicable trance. When he thought about it, Xi Shangchen could not help but feel palpitations.
Separation did not make him forget, but made him understand the details between them very clearly. The expressions she made and every word she said to him were unforgettable.
Xi Shangchen went to the birthday party alone in the end. The person who celebrated his 60th birthday was the CEO of Yaoshi, that is, Li Yifei's father, Li Yuan.
Xi Shangchen was barely a distant relative of their family. He did not help much when he was down and out. The first film and television company Guanghao brought was not Yaoshi. At most, the Li family did not add insult to injury to him.
Xi Shangchen didn't mind. Most people in the world are like this. They come for profit.
It's better to have more friends than enemies. Making money is the bottom line.
In terms of family business, few people present can compare with the Luan family. Yaoshi is at best a film and television company. Xi Shangchen and Luan Ran's in-laws, the Li family, are also very concerned. As soon as Li Yuan arrived, he asked, "Where is Miss Luan? Why didn't she come with you?"
"She's on a business trip." Xi Shangchen said.
What kind of person is Li Yuan? Gossip news has been reporting on her for years. She takes herself too seriously. When he heard that Luan Ran didn't come to his birthday party because she was on a business trip, he felt uncomfortable. His mind twitched and he said, "Women, you still have to take care of the family. What's it like to run around outside all the time? Men don't like that."
Li Yuan's wife Yang Manli rolled her eyes when she heard this, but considering that it was his birthday today, she didn't scold him directly.
The bad relationship between the couple is not a rumor, but a fact.
Xi Shangchen looked cold and smiled, "My fiancée doesn't need to please any man. Uncle Li, you should put away your old ideas. Times are changing. If you keep doing this, your business won't be able to continue."
Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat. He only dared to show off his power verbally when Luan Ran was not around. Yaoshi is now even inferior to Guanghao, a video platform, and has to rely on Guanghao for a living, not to mention the wealthy Luan family. Xi Shangchen was obviously unhappy that he said such a thing, and warned him to be careful in the future.
Luanshan and Guanghao, no one dared to offend them. If this got to Luan Ran's ears, it would be even more ruined.
"Brother is old, it is inevitable that he can't keep up with the times, just keep up in the future." Li Linan said to smooth things over.
Li Linan is Li Yuan's younger brother and Li Yifei's uncle. He is not much older than Li Yifei and is only in his early thirties this year. Like Li Yifei, he has a handsome face and is extremely handsome. He is Xi Shangchen's good friend and one of the few normal people in the Li family in Xi Shangchen's opinion.
In addition to friendship, Xi Shangchen once indirectly caused his girlfriend to break up with him, and there has been no news since then. Xi Shangchen felt guilty about him, and he spoke up at this time just to let Xi Shangchen forget about it for his sake.
Xi Shangchen glanced at him. With Li Yuan's brain, he would cause trouble sooner or later, and he didn't have a good relationship with him. Whether he appreciated his kindness was one thing, but for his sake, Xi Shangchen didn't say anything.
Li Linan raised his glass to him and smiled, "You are not a child anymore. When will your wedding with Miss Luan be held?"
Yang Manli loved to see her husband being bullied, but she didn't want to cut off her financial resources, so she still wanted to win over Xi Shangchen. She smiled and said, "You and Miss Luan have held their engagement party. Isn't it time to hold the wedding? When do you plan to hold it? You can let us know."
This question suddenly woke Xi Shangchen up, as if the clouds were cleared away, and his eyes lit up.
Therefore, Xi Shangchen discussed business with Luan Suqing at Luan's house, tried to inquire about the wedding arrangements indirectly, stayed at Luan's house for too long, and accidentally ran into Luan Yan's boyfriend, Lu Sheng, being called to Luan's house to break up the couple.
