After breaking off the engagement, she became the CEO's favorite

While running over, Lu Ranran gave a brief and concise introduction to the situation.

As soon as Cai Wenshu returned to the village, she became addicted to playing cards, and Qian Dasao was her old card-playing friend.

This year, Qian Dasao's youngest daughter graduated from university and found a job in South City. On the surface, she seems to be doing very well.

But Mrs. Qian didn't like her because her daughter claimed that she was "anti-marriage" and would not listen no matter how much she tried to persuade her.

So, Mrs. Qian asked her good poker friend Cai Wenshu for help.

"Grandma Cai, you are a university professor, you are well-educated."

"When Jiang Mei comes back, please help me persuade her. How can a woman not get married?"

Lu Ranran said while panting:

"Grandma said she doesn't want to get involved in these things."

"Let me find a reason to call her away before her daughter comes home."

Hearing Mrs. Qian's voice from afar, Lu Ranran stopped and sighed.

"It's over..."

At this time, Ah Huang had already run to the gate of the Qian family.

Turning around and seeing that his owner had not caught up yet, he ran back and circled around Lu Ranran.

"Stop turning around. I'm dizzy."

Lu Ranran looked ashen.

He changed from running in a hurry to walking slowly.

"Aren't you in a hurry?"

"What's the use of being anxious?"

The two men walked to the door of Qian's house, and Qian's wife was firing at Qian Jiang who was standing at the door with full force.

"You are in your twenties now. You have studied for so many years. Is it all in vain?"

"Not getting married? How could you possibly think of that?"

Mrs. Qian is a middle-aged woman of considerable stature.

She was wearing a thick, dark coat and a pair of embroidered pink cotton shoes.

Her hair was curled into dense wavy curls and combed tightly behind her head, like a huge broom.

His eyebrows were tattooed and he had full black eyeliner, making him look extremely fierce.

In contrast, Qian Jiang looked unusually thin, and the thick down jacket wrapped her like a cocoon.

Mrs. Qian caught a glimpse of someone coming to the door and immediately put on a smiling expression.

"Ran Ran, you're here, looking for grandma?"

"Come on, come on in."

"Hey, this is it?"

When Mrs. Qian saw Shen Xiling, her shrewd eyes lit up.

"This is, uh," Lu Ranran held it in for a long time, and finally squeezed out two relatively neutral words.

"I, my husband, Shen Xiling."

Shen Xiling on the side couldn't help but lowered his head and laughed, then politely greeted Mrs. Qian.

Mrs. Qian was stunned. Obviously, she had never heard of a woman calling her husband "Sir".

Too contrived.

If it were normal, she would definitely nag me for a while.

But now there is a bigger problem that bothers her.

"Look, she's so pretty and capable, and she's married at such a young age?"

"Look at yourself again? How dare you say that?"

"Ran Ran, you should talk to her nicely! She doesn't listen to my advice, really."

Lu Ranran smiled awkwardly and changed the subject lightly.

"Mrs. Qian, where's grandma?"

"It's time to go home and eat."

Mrs. Qian clapped her hands and said “Hi!”

"Why go home? Just eat here."

"It just so happens that you guys are helping me—"

As he said this, he reached out to grab Lu Ranran and walked into the house.

Shen Xiling skillfully separated Mrs. Qian's hands.

"Mrs. Qian, I won't bother you today."

"The main reason is that my grandfather is waiting at home. He has difficulty walking."

"We can't just leave him to eat alone."

Mrs. Qian suddenly understood.

"Hey, look at me, I was inconsiderate."

"Granny Cai is still at the card table. I'll go call her."

Before returning to the house, Mrs. Qian glared at Qian Jiang in the corner.

"Why are you standing there? Why don't you come in and eat?"

"Forget it if you starve to death."

During this period of time, Qian Jiang did not react much to what Qian Dasao said.

He just glanced at Lu Ranran when he passed by her.

Unlike her apparent weakness, there was no extra emotion in her eyes.

It seems like I've gotten used to it all.

The two waited at the door for a while before Cai Wenshu appeared leisurely near the door.

After chatting with Mrs. Qian about the card game for a few more words, Cai Wenshu left reluctantly.

He came to the door, took Lu Ranran's arm affectionately, and winked at Shen Xiling.

Shen Xiling pursed her lips helplessly.

"Grandma, what did I do wrong again?"

Cai Wenshu snorted coldly.

"It's you, kid. You're holding Ran Ran back so she won't show up."

"You've waited until now to come to me."

These words made Shen Xiling feel like crying, but she didn't say anything more.

Lu Ranran was embarrassed and explained:

"Grandma, I accidentally fell asleep..."

"Hey," Cai Wenshu waved her hand, "Don't speak for him."

"This kid must have come early."

"I'll be playing cards at Sister Qian's place, how could he not know? Why would he need to wait for you to remind him before coming to me?"

Lu Ranran was a little surprised and turned to look at Shen Xiling who was walking behind them.

"you know?"

Shen Xiling shook his head and said:

"I don't know anything about Mrs. Qian's daughter."

"But my grandma likes to play cards. I remember it clearly."

When talking about Qian Jiang, Cai Wenshu didn't care about Shen Xiling's teasing, but just sighed deeply.

"Try to pretend you didn't see anything about Mrs. Qian, okay."

She pointed at Shen Xiling seriously and warned:

"Especially you."

Shen Xiling smiled and said nothing.

In fact, Shen Xiling doesn’t care about these unnecessary things at all.

The things happening in the company are enough to bother him.

Cai Wenshu was using Shen Xiling to remind Lu Ranran not to meddle in other people's business.

Don't meddle in other people's family affairs under the pretext of "accumulating materials."

"Mrs. Qian's husband died early in life, and it was not easy for her to raise three children alone."

"Qian Jiang is her youngest and most partial one."

"When it comes to family matters, there's no such thing as a bystander seeing things more clearly. Don't even think about getting involved."

Lu Ranran nodded obediently.

Cai Wenshu prepared dinner, which consisted of light porridge and side dishes, and was quite tasty.

Shen Xilu originally insisted on night fishing.

After a day without a rod, he firmly believed that he could only catch fish at night.

But he was "invited" back by Shen Xiling halfway through.

The reason is that it is windy at night and unsafe.

In short, after dinner, everyone started to do their own things.

Cai Wenshu said to Shen Xiling, "Find a place to sleep by yourself," and then went back to the room.

Lu Ranran also carried Ah Huang back to the third floor.

Ah Huang's nest is at the corner of the stairs on the third floor.

A north wind blew in Zhuxi Village at night, and all I could hear was the whistling of the wind and the sound of leaves blowing through the forest.

Zhuxi Village seemed even quieter because of the sound of the wind.

After having a good meal and a good drink, Ah Huang curled up in his nest with his eyes closed.

Suddenly, a creaking sound woke it up.

Lu Ranran pushed open the door, walked down the stairs, passed Ah Huang, and came to the door of a room on the second floor.

"Dong dong dong."

After a while, the door opened.

Shen Xiling had a towel around her neck and her messy hair was still wet.

"Come in." He stepped aside to make room.
