Anxin's data is too massive; even with the help of the system, it would still take a lot of time to check each item one by one.

It wasn't until Wen Yan parked the car at the school gate that Su Ran ended her brainstorming session and looked up from a pile of messy data.

"Thank you," she said.

"You're too kind, Su Ran. May I visit your school? I study finance at Kyoto University, which is nearby. Although I don't have to inherit the family business, my dad said that girls should know a little about finance, so I went there. Now I'm a little regretful. My piano skills are top-notch. If I had chosen Qingcheng instead, that would have been so much better. I wouldn't have met you so late in life..."

Facing Su Ran, Wen Yan began to speak eloquently.

She talked about her father and mother, even recounting what she liked to eat and what funny things happened in elementary school.

Su Ran never expected that Wen Yan, despite her spoiled appearance, was actually a chatterbox.

Seeing the surprised look on Su Ran's face, Wen Yan stuck out her tongue and said apologetically, "I'm a fan of your looks, sorry for talking nonsense."

"People are only willing to share their lives when they feel happy. This means you are actually very happy, so there is no need to be embarrassed."

Su Ran opened the car door and left, leaving Wen Yan sitting there in a daze.

This is the first time someone hasn't found her annoying.

Surrounded by people from similar family backgrounds, she seemed much more immature compared to them. Her constant chatter always drew disdain, and over time, she began to suppress her desire to confide in others, which made her temperamental.

She was so happy to see Su Ran today that she couldn't help but talk out of turn.

Surprisingly, someone as high-profile as Su Ran didn't criticize her.

"As expected, he truly lives up to his reputation as the most handsome guy I admire!"

Su Ran dislikes socializing, but she is generous with her praise for those who like her and maintain their boundaries.

She believes that Wen Yan contributed to her popularity score of over 100 million.

So when fans lavish praise on her, she responds to their admiring gaze with her own actions.

Between her and them, there was a mutual journey.

I had just arrived at the classroom when I received a call from An Yecheng.

"Why didn't you wait for me?" came An Yecheng's suppressed voice from the other end of the phone.

"I have classes to attend." Her feelings towards An Yecheng were somewhat complicated now.

"I just finished my run three minutes ago and you left. You could have waited a few more minutes for me."

"Don't you like our family?"

“How come you see?”

“I could tell yesterday that you really wanted my mom to see the gift, and you seemed to be really looking forward to her reaction.”

When your mother gave me the gift, did she ask your mother what her reaction was?

"Didn't you say you liked it?" he asked, somewhat surprised. "Don't you like it? Can you tell me why?"

"An Yecheng".

The man on the other end of the phone froze.

Su Ran had always called him Mr. An, but this was the first time she had addressed him by his full name, An Yecheng, in a serious tone.

The anger that had been building up inside him vanished, replaced by a faint sense of panic.

He sensed that what Su Ran was about to say might not be what he wanted to hear, so he spoke first:

"I still have work to do. Let's have a proper chat next time we have time."

After hanging up the phone, he looked ahead and saw An Xin standing in the corridor, staring at him without moving.

At 6 p.m., Su Ran returned to the apartment and left with Little Butterfly.

"Host, where are we going?" The little butterfly sucked on a lollipop, its entire small body appearing to fly invisibly.

"Why haven't you changed your address yet? I'm your older sister now."

"I can't change it all at once," the little butterfly said, feeling wronged.

"Fine, call me whatever you want." With that, Yi Tong arrived at his destination—the Shi family.

"Why are we in this godforsaken place again?" Little Butterfly was clearly very dissatisfied with the house that had once caused Su Ran so much suffering.

"Steal something," she said.
