The dining table was unusually quiet, with only the sound of spoons scraping against porcelain bowls.

An Yecheng subconsciously sensed something was wrong, so he spoke to An Xin.

"Ranran is very talented. You saw the musical video last time, right? I believe she will be able to study abroad soon."

Su Ran was taken aback. The school did have a quota for studying abroad last time, and Teacher Qi had talked to her about it, but she declined due to work reasons.

An Xin smiled and said to Su Ran, "If you really want to go abroad, you can tell your aunt. Your aunt has a house abroad, so you won't have to go through the trouble of finding a host family."

"I haven't decided whether to pursue further studies yet," Su Ran said after a moment of silence.

"If your pursuit is music, the high level of artistic expertise available overseas can be very helpful to you."

"Thank you, Auntie, I understand."

It was almost nine o'clock when we finished eating.

Anjia Manor Villas is located in the suburbs, a bit far from the city center, about a half-hour drive away.

Su Ran arrived in An Yecheng's car. She said she wanted to take a taxi back, but An Yecheng refused.

"It's not safe for a girl like you to go home alone at night. Why don't you stay here? We have plenty of rooms."

An Xin also said, "Yes, I would feel so guilty if something happened to you. I wasn't there when Qin Ya had her accident."

Seeing their reaction, Su Ran agreed.

Little Butterfly, don't worry. This afternoon, it sent her a message using its smartwatch to let her know it had arrived home.

It was 3 a.m.

An Xin was still wide awake. She tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep no matter what she did.

She sat up abruptly, her brows furrowed.

"No, I can't let my son like Su Ran. Why are all the men in the An family like this? They all like women with the surname Su."

As An Yecheng's biological mother, how could she not see the affection her son had for Su Ran?

She picked up her phone and started sending messages to the person on the other end.

Just seconds after sending the message, she suddenly felt a pain in her neck and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, the An family welcomed a haughty and charming young lady named Wen Yan.

At breakfast time, Su Ran had just come downstairs when she saw Wen Yan with her arm around An Xin's shoulder, sitting on the sofa, the two of them chatting with smiles on their faces.

Hearing footsteps, An Xin turned her head and saw Su Ran. The smile on her face seemed to have been adjusted.

"Ranran, did you sleep well last night? This is Wen Yan, the daughter of the Wen family, and also Ye Cheng's betrothed. She is the daughter-in-law I have chosen."

An Xin felt a pain in her neck when she turned her head. She touched it and realized that she had fainted from the pain last night, as if in a dream. However, she checked the security camera footage this morning and found that no one had entered her room.

Su Ran nodded slightly to Wen Yan, "Hello."

She stood on the steps, her figure slender, dressed loosely, her whole demeanor relaxed and casual, her carelessly styled hair lazily sticking up, exuding an air of nonchalant sexiness.

That face, without any adornment, was already incredibly alluring.

In contrast to Wen Yan's elaborate morning attire, Su Ran appeared naturally beautiful, like a piece of jade from nature.

Wen Yan's smile froze for a moment.

She never expected that the Su Ran Aunt An was talking about was actually the Su Ran whose photos were going viral on the campus network!

Last night, in the middle of the night, I received a message from Anxin saying that her brother Yecheng was about to be snatched away.

She immediately got up to take a shower, put on makeup, choose clothes, and pick out jewelry...

All I wanted to do was rush to the An family home early in the morning to deflate that woman's ego and show her what true beauty is!

But now... all that exquisite makeup and styling has been wasted.

Let alone dampening their spirits.

She doesn't even dare to stand next to Su Ran now.

Su Ran's delicate hand alone was enough to make her instantly stun her.

Hearing Su Ran greet her, she awkwardly but politely raised her hand, "Hi, I'm Wen Yan." Her voice trailed off.

An Xin was taken aback.

Wen Yan is usually the most arrogant and domineering, which is why she specially sought her out. How come she's become a quail in front of Su Ran now?

"Wen Yan, are you feeling unwell?" An Xin asked.

Wen Yan buried her head, her eyes filled with excitement, and her shoulders were trembling.

She looked up abruptly, "Auntie, why didn't you tell me that Su Ran was that Su Ran? She's my goddess!!!"

An Xin: "..." She's gone astray in her search for help.

Wen Yan continued, "If my goddess were with Brother Ye Cheng, I would definitely let go and choose to let them be together."

Her eyes sparkled with excitement. "The baby that the goddess and Brother Ye Cheng have will definitely inherit the goddess's amazing looks and will be incredibly, incredibly, incredibly, incredibly cute!!!"

She twisted her shoulders, lost in her fantasies about the future, unable to pull herself out.

An Xin's worried expression turned into a blank one.

"Auntie, I still have classes at school, I have to go now." Su Ran got downstairs.

An Xin was taken aback, then tried to persuade him to stay, saying, "Aren't you going to have breakfast? Ye Cheng will take you home after his morning run."

"No need, Auntie, I've already got what I wanted."

An Xin asked in confusion, "Get what?" Her heart instinctively jumped.

Su Ran waved the book in her hand, "The study abroad guide that Mr. An lent me last night."

An Xin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In that case, I'll have the driver take you."

“I’ll do it, I’ll do it!” Wen Yan raised her hand. “I drove here, and I’m leaving after visiting Auntie, so I’ll take Su Ran home.”

Su Ran smiled at her, "Then I'll trouble you, Miss Wen."

Wen Yan couldn't help but smile foolishly. Wow, the goddess smiled at her! The goddess is so beautiful.

In the car, Wen Yan drove with a flushed face, glancing at Su Ran in the passenger seat from time to time.

Seeing that Su Ran was holding a book, she asked curiously, "Is this study abroad guide very good?"

Su Ran, flipping through the book without looking up, replied, "Yes, it's very interesting."

It's really interesting.

If Wen Yan looked closely, she would realize that what she was holding was not a study abroad guide at all.

It was a phone book wrapped in the cover of a study abroad guide.

She knocked An Xin unconscious last night and took it openly and honestly.

It was filled with the numbers of many people.

My maternal grandmother also had a phone book like this.

Back then, my grandmother didn't have a cell phone. She would go to the village supermarket and pay two cents to make a landline call using the numbers in the phone book.

An Jia is so rich, it's impossible for him not to have a cell phone.

The only explanation is that these numbers are extremely private and cannot be displayed in a phone's contact list.

She mentally input these Arabic numerals one by one into the system to search for the information of the people she was linked to, and their ID cards were displayed in front of her one by one.

Some of them have died after their ID cards were cancelled, while others are still alive.

The system's powerful social relationship query capabilities allowed her to see the current situation of some living people.

One person caught her attention.

Because just last night, he had contact with An Xin.

She asked the other person, "How is Shi An?"

The other person replied, "[I'm not feeling well; this is my fifth suicide attempt this month.]"

She texted him, "I bought him a regenerative beauty bed."

If SR discovers this, you will be blacklisted.

[Then, don't let SR find out; buy it using someone else's identity.]

Su Ran smiled.

Sorry, I've already noticed.

Regardless of the relationship between An Xin and Shi An, as long as they violate the rules she set, she will punish them without hesitation.

Shi An.

An Xin.

What is the connection between these two names?
