Regardless of Shi Ran's objection, Xiao Nuannuan squeezed into the car in the end.
In the empire, Shi Zhuo was in Shi Ran's office, looking at the documents that Shi Ran had flipped through.
Shi Zhuo hurriedly left Shi Ran's office when he heard his men report that Shi Ran had arrived. It was just a few minutes before Shi Ran brought Xiao Nuannuan upstairs.
"Go inside and play by yourself. Don't bother me.”He pushed Xiao Nuannuan into the lounge and closed the door.
Xiao Nuannuan didn't dare to say anything. As long as she could be by Shi Ran's side, she should be safe. Who was Shi Ran's father? He definitely wouldn't be as stupid as the casino owner. Xiao Nuannuan didn't dare to gamble with her life.
"Brother." Shi Zhuo walked in with a smile after Shi Ran entered the office.
"What is it?" Shi Ran's attitude was very cold. He did not even look at Shi Zhuo.
"Do you have any good ideas about the Empire's newly developed express delivery?”Shi Zhuo pretended not to care and continued to speak to Shi Ran with a smile.
"Get out." Shi Ran didn't even raise his head and coldly ordered him to leave.
"Brother, this is what Dad wants. He wants us to complete the plan for that piece of land together.”Shi Zhuo's face was a little embarrassed. Shi Ran had never treated him as a family member at all.
"Shi Zhuo, you don't have to use your father to pressure me. You're not my younger brother, and my mother only gave birth to me.”Slamming the document in his hand, he shot a cold gaze at Shi Zhuo.
"..." Shi Zhuo was speechless. This was not the first time Shi Ran had slapped him in the face, but Shi Zhuo could not resist at all.
"Shi Ran." Xiao Nuannuan walked out of the lounge." My phone is out of battery. Do you have a charger?"”
Xiao Nuannuan was a little surprised to see Shi Zhuo standing there. This person looked a little like Shi Ran, but not as cold as her.
"What phone is that?" Shi Ran ignored Shi Zhuo and took the phone from Xiao Nuannuan." It's such an old brand. I don't have this kind of charger here. Just throw it away. I'll bring you to choose one later.”
Shi Zhuo stood awkwardly. If he could not complete the task that Shi Hao had given him, he would still be scolded when he returned to the Shi family. Shi Ran was not often at home, so she thought that Shi Zhuo was very favored in front of Shi Hao. In fact, that was not the case.
What Shi Hao valued more was his ability to get things done.
Although Shi Zhuo had entered the Shi family, his position in Shi Hao's heart could never be compared to Shi Ran, the eldest son. Moreover, Shi Ran would often use the illegitimate child as a reason to talk about him.
Shi Zhuo felt even more upset when he saw Shi Ran and Xiao Nuannuan's interaction, but he was left out to the side.
"Brother."
"Call me general manager. Shi Zhuo, don't try to build a relationship with me. I can't afford to be your brother.”The corners of his lips curled up coldly, and a fake smile appeared on his face.
Xiao Nuannuan felt a little awkward. She felt that it was better for her not to stand there." Shiran, I'll go back inside first. I won't disturb you guys from your discussion."”
"You stay here. You're not an outsider here.”He pulled Xiao Nuannuan over and said,
Shi Zhuo's expression became even worse. It took him a long time to suppress the anger in his heart. He said calmly,"General Manager, this envy was ordered by the chairman to be completed with you.”
"Is that so? But the general manager gave the order to you, not me.”Shi Ran's tone was still cold. She did not even look at Shi Zhuo. She pulled Xiao Nuannuan around Shi Zhuo and said gently to Xiao Nuannuan in a low voice,"Nuannuan, let's go eat. It's time to eat.”
Xiao Nuannuan's temples were throbbing. She had a bad feeling that she would definitely be hated.
Reality proved that Xiao Nuannuan's hunch was correct, but it was only a few days later.
Shi Ran took Xiao Nuannuan out of the Empire. This time, she didn't drive. Instead, she pulled Xiao Nuannuan along as they slowly walked on the streets. There were all kinds of advertisement boards hanging on both sides of the road, with many advertisements of the Empire on them.
Seeing that Shi Ran was in a bad mood, Xiao Nuannuan did not dare to say anything. She let Shi Ran pull her forward slowly.
Xiao Nuannuan didn't dare to ask where Shi Ran wanted to go. She just followed him silently.
"Nuannuan, your mother loves gambling so much. Have you ever hated her?”Ran suddenly spoke, but his voice was filled with indescribable desolation.
"Ah!" Xiao Nuannuan didn't expect Shi Ran to suddenly ask such a question. She was a little confused.
"I say, have you ever hated or blamed your mother?”She stopped in her tracks and looked at Xiao Nuannuan calmly.
Xiao Nuannuan looked at Shi Ran in a daze. Shi Ran's eyes were very bright, but there seemed to be an indescribable layer of moisture in them. Xiao Nuannuan suddenly felt a heartache.
Xiao Nuannuan carefully recalled Shi Ran's words. After a long while, she slowly shook her head." He's the only family I have in this world. I can't hate him."”
He couldn't hate his only relative? Shi Ran's lips curled into a mocking smile. She had long known about Xiao Nuannuan's background. Since Xiao Nuannuan did not want to find her biological parents, she would not meddle in other people's business.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:0525201810:07AM
