4. Miss Puff's Concerns
Luo Lan turned around, her smile composed, concealing her surprise: "Aunt, you are back from vacation?"
"Gu Ran, have you met Su Nan already?" He Qingqing glanced at Gu Ran and asked tentatively
Fortunately, she did not sit together with the two of them, which greatly relieved her.
"Xiao Lan." A gentle voice suddenly sounded, and I saw Su's mother and He Qingqing walking towards this side.
As soon as Mother Su spoke, Luo Lan no longer hesitated and led them towards the backstage
Gu Ran was entirely passive, being fussed over for a facial spa, followed by various massage treatments. Even her toenails were attended to, and finally, she underwent a change of clothes, a hairstyle makeover, and makeup application
"What kind of revenge is this?" Su Nan's voice was very faint, so faint that it was impossible to discern any emotion. "If I were Mr. Puff..."
Gu Ran clearly felt his gaze fall upon her. The thought of Su's mother and He Qingqing being present made Gu Ran feel as if she were sitting on pins and needles. She could not even concentrate on listening to his performance, as her mind was filled with thoughts of how to face Su's mother in the future
Who is He Qingqing? She is the campus belle of Han University, an outstanding student in the finance department. Not only has she been a classmate at Su Nan University for four years, but she also grew up with them and was once regarded by her as her number one imagined rival
On the afternoon of the second day, Su Nan had already left, and Gu Ran woke up naturally, slowly getting out of bed.
As she got into the car, Sunan handed her an exquisite envelope, the cover printed with a few simple words—Sunan Concert
Why does he want to marry her? ... Could it be to divorce her later ... After all, in the country, men who are remarried are still quite sought after, while women who are remarried find it somewhat difficult to get married again ... ...
However, her favorite is not the makeup or hairstyle, but the dress. The classic little black dress accentuates her fair skin, exuding elegance and suiting her perfectly
The person continued, "We can come, Mr. Su has invited us to serve Mrs. Su."
Seeing that Su Nan had no reaction, Gu Ran hesitated for a moment and then spoke: "If I go, can you pretend that the foolish things I did in the past never happened?"
"No, no, no, there's no need..." Gu Ran quickly declined, biting her lip as she carefully considered her words. "I was thinking about a question, that is—Mr. Puff and Miss Puff fell in love, but Miss Puff did many bad things that hurt Mr. Puff's heart, and in the end, she even dumped him. However, Mr. Puff insisted on marrying her. Do you think Mr. Puff wants to take revenge on Miss Puff?"
He must have lost his sense of aesthetics to be attracted to her
I will sell Miss Puff to Gu Ran, leaving her with nothing but crumbs.
Heh... Su Nan suddenly let out a sneer
Luo Lan smiled and said, "The interview has been completed in the afternoon. Su Nan mentioned that he will not have time in the evening"
Mother Su nodded and looked at Gu Ran: "Do you know Ranran?"
Gu Ran merely smiled slightly, neither confirming nor denying: "I will go in first, excuse me."
For example, getting a divorce from her, making her a second-time bride or something like that... Gu Ran carefully observed Su Nan's expression and said cautiously
Is that so? I thank you on behalf of Su Nan. "Mother Su said politely
Su Nan glanced at the remaining cream puffs on the plate in front of her
Gu Ran looked at the mirror with satisfaction and suddenly realized that it was time for dinner. She quickly ate a few cream puffs and then left the house with peace of mind
Qin Zhao withdrew decisively and without a trace of hesitation Gu Ran felt somewhat frustrated this guy always habitually leaves her to Su Nan
Gu Ran did not expect him to agree so readily, and couldn't help but feel a bit elated. She reached out to cover his hand with hers and chuckled, "Then let's go home"
Gu Ran looked at herself in the mirror, somewhat dazed. Was that glamorous and stunning beauty really her
Not enough to eat? Then have another serving
Gu Ran silently wiped away a bead of sweat
In that case, let us go
She still remembers that, back then, after she woke up, she took advantage of her parents' inattention to call Su Nan. She wanted to tell him that she regretted it, that she did not want to break up, and that she wanted him by her side. However, when the call connected, the voice on the other end was that of He Qingqing.
Mother Su and He Qingqing took the lead, while Gu Ran followed behind them. Even before entering the venue, she was already having second thoughts, feeling as if "every second felt like a year"
Gu Ran replied with a smile: "Thank you"
"Let's go home and eat cream puffs, Miss..." Su Nan raised his lips slightly and took her hand.
She said: "Sunan is asleep, is there anything I can convey for you"
Gu Ran looked a bit dazed; she lowered her head to glance at herself, her bulky down jacket made her look like a bear... It was indeed an eyesore
Gu Ran, feeling embarrassed and blushing, could only obediently follow Su Nan out.
Before long, Su Nan walked onto the stage with his violin. Dressed in a black tailcoat, he appeared handsome and dashing, like a prince charming making a grand entrance. At the moment the spotlight fell on him, Gu Ran felt that the entire world belonged to him
Six years later, a similar scene unfolded, and for a moment, Gu Ran found herself somewhat hesitant to respond
No matter how you listen to this, it sounds a bit strange
"Wait a moment, Aunt Su has also arrived, let's go together," He Qingqing suddenly called out to her with a smile
Gu Ran smiled bitterly to herself, took a step forward, and politely said: "Aunt Su, long time no see"
Gu Ran listened and reached out to take it: "Alright, give it to me."
Gu Ran remained silent for a long time before hoarsely speaking: "It's nothing, just tell him I never called."
I met her a few days ago. Speaking of which, she is also my junior, just like Qingqing. " Luo Lan nodded and said, "Since Auntie is here as well, let's go meet Su Nan together; he is waiting backstage.
Gu Ran's heart felt like she had eaten a sour, bubbling orange, extremely tart yet unable to express anything
Mother Su quickly concealed her surprise and adjusted her expression into a polite smile: "It's Ranran! I didn't expect you to return from abroad, what a coincidence"
"Gu Ran, is that really you? What are you back for?" He Qingqing was clearly taken aback upon seeing Gu Ran. She could hardly believe it and only asked after carefully confirming it once more.
Tomorrow evening at 6:30, I will have the driver pick you up, and the event will start at 7:30
Gu Ran symbolically uttered a soft "mm" and nodded. She could hardly bear to look at Su's mother's expression. If she were to say that she and Su Nan had already obtained their marriage certificate, she feared that Su's mother might be so enraged that it could lead to a heart attack.
Indeed, in this world, there are only lazy women, not ugly women
By the time they finally finished their fussing, it was already 6 o'clock. Gu Ran was pushed in front of the dressing mirror, and the leading woman smiled and said, "Mrs. Su, you are truly beautiful"
She recalled the time when He Qingqing went to Su Nan's home, discussing music, ballet, foreign literature, and fine arts with Su Nan's mother, while she, like a fool, could only sit silently by and listen to their conversation
At around 3 or 4 o'clock, someone rang the doorbell. Gu Ran opened the door and found several unfamiliar young women outside. The one in front was holding a large box. Upon seeing her open the door, she immediately displayed a polite smile and said, "Mrs. Su, hello. This is the dress Mr. Su has customized for you."
Gu Ran's palms were sweating nervously, and her smile was somewhat stiff. Fortunately, Su's mother did not make things difficult for her and continued, "Go in."
Gu Ran never expected to encounter He Qingqing at the entrance of the concert hall
Qin Zhao winked at Su Nan and chuckled, "Su Nan, your speed is impressive. When will you treat me to a wedding banquet?"
Seeing Gu Ran hesitate, Su Nan's gaze darkened, and his expression also became somewhat displeased: "Gu Ran, if you dare not come..."
The gaze of Su Nan suddenly softened, the corners of his lips curled slightly, and there seemed to be an uncontainable smile between his brows and eyes
Her ex-boyfriend, who she had been separated from for six years, suddenly became her husband, without giving her any time to adjust; anyone in her position would be taken aback
"Aunt, Gu Ran is also here to listen to Su Nan's performance." He Qingqing had already walked over to Su's mother, smiling cleverly.
"What’s wrong? Do you have something on your mind?" Su Nan asked as he sat down beside her
At the end of the performance, Gu Ran was still somewhat dazed, grappling with whether she should leave directly. Luo Lan had already walked up to her, smiling as she said, "Junior, come with me."
"Very soon." Su Nan smiled slightly, then looked at Gu Ran, habitually reaching out to stroke her beautiful hair, "Have you finished the discussion?"
"Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives." Qin Zhao suddenly pointed to the door, and Gu Ran instinctively turned to look. A black sedan was parked at the entrance, and a tall man stepped out of the car. He was handsome, dressed in a black trench coat, and every gesture exuded elegance and charisma, making him a radiant presence wherever he went
Oh? Does he have time? Isn't the media reporter supposed to interview him?" Mother Su was somewhat surprised
Gu Ran gave up on her entanglement, revealed a smile, and nodded, saying: "Alright"
This method of revenge is rather harsh
Gu Ran's heart suddenly lifted; she instinctively looked up at him, her eyes revealing a hint of nervousness.
"I will go," Gu Ran interrupted Su Nan's words. She reached out to take the envelope and looked directly at him.
He Qingqing and Su Nan inhabit the same world; they both reside in a villa district and have been immersed in music since childhood. Su Nan excels at the violin, while He Qingqing is proficient in the piano, and they have even held concerts together. In the eyes of outsiders, they are a perfect couple, pleasing to the eye and a match made in heaven
Gu Ran immediately shut his mouth and lowered his head in guilt
Gu Ran was taken aback as the group of people streamed in, each carrying a box. As soon as they entered, they each opened their boxes and took out the service props from inside.
Gu Ran was lost in thought when Su Nan had already walked up to her.
Gu Ran tugged at the corner of her lips and said, "When one misses home, one naturally returns."
I see that you are not missing home, but rather longing for Su Nan. He Qingqing looked at Gu Ran with deep meaning, flicked her long fiery red hair, charming and alluring, yet her words were quite straightforward.
"How to take revenge?" Su Nan asked her calmly, looking at her with an indifferent expression.
Su Nan was momentarily taken aback, his voice steady, as if making a promise: "I can."
But she hasn't told her how to deal with Su Nan next
Gu Ran was taken aback, and when she looked up, she saw a woman of regal elegance stepping out of the car. Upon seeing He Qingqing, the corners of her lips naturally blossomed into a smile, but soon, her smile froze.
Before Gu Ran could speak, Qin Zhao interjected, "It's settled, it's settled! Next, she is yours!" As she spoke, she had already picked up her bag and stood up, throwing a flirtatious glance at Gu Ran, "Sister is leaving first, find me when you have time."
"No, I was thinking about cream puffs..." Gu Ran opened her eyes and spoke nonsense
At that time, it was already 12 o'clock midnight in the country. At such a late hour, where could they be if not in the dormitory
"Today, the junior is truly radiant; for the first time, I agree with Su Nan's judgment." Luo Lan's eyes and brows were filled with laughter, and when he praised someone, it never made others feel uncomfortable; instead, it felt quite amusing
