An Ran looked at everyone and smiled, asking, "To avoid this slap, Mrs. Terri, you actually lied!"
Mrs. Terri was so angry that she jumped like a shrew and shouted, "Last time I went to the hotel to deliver your clothes, you slapped me! It's exactly three slaps!"
An Ran was indifferent, like a bystander. She admired Mrs. Terri's embarrassed expression at the moment and said lightly, "So, do you have any evidence? Any witnesses? To avoid this slap, you lied again..."
Mrs. Terri looked at An Ran as if she was looking at a demon, and couldn't help feeling scared. She kept retreating, trying to create some distance. An Ran approached calmly step by step. Under the gaze of everyone, she slapped Mrs. Terri's face hard!
The crisp sound of the slap had just sounded, Mrs. Terri's nose was crooked, and two streams of blood flowed out! An Ran looked at her coldly, expressionless, and said, "I just slapped your face. Why did you bleed from your nose? If you want to accuse me of being too heavy-handed, you should have bled from your face. Do you want to use this to slander me?"
Mrs. Terri was disheveled, her cheeks swollen, and her eyes red. At this moment, she looked like a complete lunatic! "I will sue you for intentional injury!"
She trembled and took out her phone to call the police. An Ran didn't care and said, "Go ahead and call the police. By the way, let's solve our previous issue." Mrs. Terri shuddered, and her phone fell to the ground and rolled a few times, rolling to An Ran's feet.
An Ran looked at them, took a step forward, and stepped on the phone, "It seems that Mrs. Terri is really a good person.She has been beaten like this and still cares about me, unwilling to call the police!"
The naked sarcasm made everyone speechless. An Ran smiled, straightened her back, and walked out of the room alone with the only remaining self-esteem.
She left through the back door, the Swiss night was chilly and the cold wind made her shiver as soon as she stepped out. But even though it was cold, she didn't want to go back to that disgusting bar room. The location was somewhat remote, and she couldn't catch a taxi for a while.
She stood on the side of the road, staring at the flowing cars under the streetlights. Her thin shadow was stretched long, exuding an indescribable sadness. A black car stopped in front of her, and the window rolled down to reveal Fu Lengyu's usual cold profile. "Get in the car," he said.
An Ran smiled, but there was no smile in her eyes. "How can a cheap woman who seduces others be worthy of sitting in your car, Mr. Fu? I don't want to dirty your place!"
Fu Lengyu repeated impatiently, "Don't make me say it a second time!"
His cold gaze swept over her, and his commanding tone was unquestionable. An Ran lowered her head and remained silent for a while before getting into the car. She didn't sit in the passenger seat but in the back seat instead.
She really didn't want to be too close to this man. If she got too close, she couldn't help but feel resentment towards him andwould want to hit him and ask him why he chose to believe those people instead of the truth.
But it didn't matter anymore.
She had vented her anger on her own, and asking these questions would only seem redundant and melodramatic. The two of them remained silent on the way to the hospital. After getting a number, they directly asked the attending physician to help An Ran treat her wounds.
By the time they finished, it was already past two o'clock. Back at the hotel, An Ran took a shower and lay silently on the bed without saying a word or doing anything. Fu Lengyu sat on the sofa by the bed, smoking a cigarette, his long legs casually crossed. He looked at An Ran's thin back, and the large bruise on her shoulder was very striking.
When being beaten, it must hurt a lot, right? Fu Lengyu couldn't help but think so. A suppressed silence filled the room. After a long while, Fu Lengyu said, "Go to bed early. I'll take you to see your mother tomorrow."
An Ran trembled all over, and she didn't say anything else. She just shook her shoulders slightly, as if suppressing something.
She didn't dare to ask again, afraid that it was just another trick he was playing on her.
The next day, when they got up after 10 o'clock, An Ran was a little nervous and a little hopeful.As Fu Lengyu had promised last night, he postponed his trip back to the country and took An Ran to see her mother.
On the way to the hospital, An Ran remained silent, not saying a word or even giving a glance to Fu Lengyu. If she wasn't still sitting in the car, Fu Lengyu would have thought she had become invisible.
Did she hate herself? Thinking of An Ran resenting him, his originally calm heart couldn't help but feel a little restless.
An Ran's forced calm and indifference, when she saw her mother again, instantly crumbled!
She almost ran from the door to the bedside, greedily looking at her extremely weak mother. An Ran's mother, who had just woken up, saw her daughter and thought she was dreaming. She suddenly closed her eyes, shook her head, and tried to open her eyes.
An Ran was still by her side, and the person she had been thinking about for a long time suddenly appeared, causing her eyes to turn red. "Mom... I came to see you!"
Just six short words, but they were filled with intense emotions, and even her voice was trembling with tears. It was joy, anticipation, and familial love.
"Okay... It's great that you came to see me. Don't cry. We've grown up, why are you still crying like a child?"
As An mu wiped away her daughter's tears and comforted her, she couldn't help but shed tears herself. The mother and daughter held each other tightly, and no words could express the depth of their longing as much as this embrace.
Fu Lengyu watched all of this with cold eyes, feeling even more irritated. He decided not to watch anymore and went to sit alone on a bench outside the corridor.
In the hospital room, the two finally calmed down their intense emotions, wiped away their tears, and An mu anxiously asked, "Has the company's situation been resolved? How much debt are we in now?"
The company had been on the brink of bankruptcy, and Anmu had been worried about it all along. It was her husband's life's work, and she didn't want to see it go bankrupt, restructured, or acquired.
An ran knew how much the company meant to her mother, so she didn't dare to tell the truth. "Mom, the company's situation is almost resolved. You don't have to worry about it now. You should focus on getting better. I've grown up now, and I'll take care of the rest. "
Anran had a sweet smile on her face, but her heart was slightly bitter.
"When are you going to marry Yang Xu? You've been datingfor a while now. It's better to get married soon so he can help you share the pressure... He's quite capable..."
Anmu kept talking, but she didn't realize that she had hit a sore spot for Anran.
