It's terrible. Mr. Lu is too clingy.

Being pampered by Lu Ci, Xie Xingran lived a fulfilling life.

Maybe God couldn't stand her success in both love and career, so he had to do something to disturb her.

That morning, Su Nianwan came on behalf of the Su Group to discuss the specific matters of cooperation with their Jin Xing.

Since their last meeting in the bar, Wang Jinge received Su’s intention to cooperate with them the next day.

The two companies have been in frequent contact recently, so she was not surprised that Su Nianwan came in person today.

After finishing business in the office, it was already twelve o'clock in the afternoon. When others were slowly dispersing, Su Nianwan suddenly called her.

"Director Xie, do you have time? I'd like to treat you to a meal and discuss some personal matters."

Everyone looked back and didn't take it seriously, thinking that the two of them had a private relationship.

Xie Xingran hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

Alas, before the meeting, she had made an appointment with Lu Ci to have lunch together today, so she had to cancel it.

I hope his angry lion won’t be angry.

[Vice President Su has a personal matter with me, and I can't refuse, so I won't have lunch with you today.]

Lu Ci also knew that their two families were cooperating, and at that time Lu Ci also reminded her to stay away from Su Nianwan.

Before this, Su Nianwan had asked her out for dinner twice, but she had evaded the offer both times.

But after all, there is a cooperative relationship. We can't always reject people like this, and it's not good to offend them.

After sending this message, there was no response for a while. I guess they were still busy.

So Xie Xingran turned off her phone and went downstairs with Su Nianwan. They were the only two people in the elevator.

Xie Xingran asked doubtfully, "Vice President Su, what exactly do you want to talk to me about when you meet me several times?"

She and her had no interactions other than work, so Xie Xingran really couldn't understand what private matters they could talk about.

The elevator door opened, Su Nianwan turned her head to look at her and said two words:

"It's about your grandma and my grandpa."

Xie Xingran was stunned and confused for a moment, then she quickly connected what Grandma Chen had said to her.

Her eyes suddenly turned cold, but she did not turn around and leave. She went to a very private teahouse with Su Nianwan. She did not order any dishes, but only ordered two cups of fine black tea.

Looking at the person opposite her, she asked indifferently:

"Go ahead, Vice President Su, tell me everything you know."

Su Nianwan took a sip of the black tea and said with a smile, "No need to be so formal. I call you Xingran, and you can call me Wanwan. After all, I am still your cousin."

Xie Xingran clenched his fingers, "Is your grandfather's last name Lu?"

Su Nianwan nodded: "Yes, my grandfather's surname is Lu, and my mother is my grandfather's youngest daughter."

As she spoke, a hint of anger flashed in her eyes. If her father had not killed her mother and her grandfather's family had not hated her as well, why would she have become enemies with them and not received their help?

Although her grandfather's family did not run a company, they had many connections in the political circle, especially her grandfather.

Grandma had passed away a long time ago, and she recently heard that Grandpa still felt guilty about Xie Xingran's grandmother. If she could use it properly...

Xie Xingran: "Does your grandpa know about me... and my brother?"

Su Nianwan pulled back her thoughts and said with regret:

"Grandpa doesn't know yet, but I know you have an older brother, but unfortunately he passed away due to God's jealousy of his talent.

You've had a hard time these years, your grandfather used to be the mayor, and now your family is well-off. If you want to recognize—"

"I won't." Xie Xingran interrupted her coldly and firmly, "If you're investigating me, why don't you also investigate why my grandmother gave birth to my scumbag father?"

Forced to give birth to a life that showed the humiliation she had gone through, my grandmother was kind-hearted and reluctant to involve the grudge.

So it goes without saying that she was raised alone by her scumbag father, and the hardships she faced during that time are easy to guess.

When she heard Grandma Chen talk about it, she was very indignant. How could she betray her grandmother now?

Fuck this idea of tracing one’s roots!

Su Nianwan was visibly stunned for two seconds, her mind racing. That's right, Xie Xingran's father was considered an illegitimate child, so what happened back then must have been shameful.

But is this disgraceful person only her grandfather, or does it also include Xie Xingran’s grandmother?

It was too long ago, she didn't know.

But judging from Xie Xingran's reaction now, her grandmother seems to be the victim as well.

But what does this have to do with her?

She just wanted to take this opportunity to actively ease the relationship between her and her grandfather. She played the role of a good granddaughter. As for Xie Xingran's attitude, it had no effect on her.

Thinking of this, she said calmly:

"I only know that your grandmother and my grandfather had a relationship and gave birth to your father, and your parents gave birth to you and your brother. I don't know anything else. Since you don't want to recognize your ancestors, there is no reason for me to force you.

But as your cousin, I want to advise you that the past two generations have passed. Now is the time to take advantage of my grandfather's guilt towards your grandmother and make a few more profits from him, so that you can take your career to the next level. Wouldn't it be better? "

Hearing this, Xie Xingran sneered:

"My grandmother didn't go after that beast to take responsibility, and I won't lose my grandmother's backbone now.

Besides, I'm living a good life now, so I don't really need to use that beast for anything. If Vice President Su wants to use me, then use him well, or he'll be cursed to death by me later."

When Su Nianwan heard her calling her a beast and cursing her grandfather to death, her eyes narrowed, with a deep and unfathomable emotion flashing in them.

The air was frozen for a long while, and the two of them were no match for each other.

But in the end, it was Su Nianwan who smiled first and eased the atmosphere: "It seems that Xingran has a lot of opinions about Grandpa. Well, I won't bother to be a peacemaker anymore. I have something to do this afternoon. I'll pay the bill and leave first. See you next time."

It started snowing in City A yesterday. After a day and a night of accumulation, the entire city was already covered in snow, with the ground and branches weighed down by the snow.

Xie Xingran walked out of the teahouse and after a long time, he let out a deep breath, temporarily getting rid of the heavy burden in his heart, took out his mobile phone and opened the dialog box with Lu Ciye.

[Don't go, wife, where are you?]

During this period, two unknown messages were withdrawn, and then about ten minutes later, another message was sent.

He asked her without thinking: [Wife, do you still want me?]

Xie Xingran automatically ignored the previous message and replied quoting the last one:

[Isn't it just that I didn't eat lunch with you one day? Why are you so sensitive? Are all puppies this insecure?]

After a while, the other side replied:

[Hmm, so sister, do you still want a puppy?]

Xie Xingran raised the corners of his lips and teased him deliberately:

[No, you're too clingy, I'm getting annoyed.]

As a result, after sending this message, the other party did not reply for a long time.

I don't know if I was hurt by her words or if I was hurt by her words.
