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

"You little girl."

Cai Wenshu scolded, "Why are you still calling me teacher? It's so strange."

As he said this, he glared at Shen Xiling, as if accusing him of not doing his job well.

Shen Xiling, who was suddenly pushed aside, was quite helpless about this kind of accusation. He did not refute but just smiled.

"Ran Ran, this is my grandma."

"Hello grandma."

Lu Ranran suppressed her inner shock and greeted Cai Wenshu.

"Mom, you are too impatient. Don't scare people."

At this time, the beautiful woman sitting on the sofa not far away walked over to the two of them and said teasingly:

"Don't stand there. We don't need door gods at home."

"Go sit down."

After saying that, he began to give orders to Shen Xiling.

"Go and bring us some tea."

Naturally, Shen Xiling did not dare to refute. He just mouthed "I'll be right back" to Lu Ranran and turned and left.

Lu Ranran was brought to the sofa.

Cai Wenshu held Lu Ranran's hand and they sat together on a long sofa chair.

On the other side was the beautiful woman who had just spoken humorously. Her facial features and expression were somewhat similar to Shen Xiling.

But Lu Ranran felt that the man looked familiar, and couldn't remember where she had seen him before, so she just called out obediently.

"mom."

The beautiful woman didn't say anything, but instead asked with a serious look, "Why, you don't recognize me?"

Lu Ranran's heart trembled. The memory that she was so proud of suddenly became ineffective.

Why at this time?!

At this time, Shen Xiling, holding the tray himself, appeared here at the right time.

He half squatted and put the teacups and teapots away one by one, "Mom, don't scare her."

After saying that, Shen Xiling stood up, poured tea for the three of them, and explained to Lu Ranran:

"My mother, Zhang Yuzhi, was at the film festival this morning. You should have met her."

Lu Ranran blinked at Shen Xiling gratefully.

After being "exposed", Zhang Yuzhi angrily hit Shen Xiling.

"You kid, you just know how to make trouble."

After beating Shen Xiling, Zhang Yuzhi turned around and complained to Lu Ranran.

"Ran Ran, this kid has a lot of thoughts in his mind. You have to educate him well in the future."

"I can't control it."

Shen Xiling did not comment, but stood aside holding the tray and winked at Lu Ranran as if in response.

"Shen... Xi, Ling he," Lu Ranran felt a little hot when she called Shen Xiling's name for the first time, "He, is pretty good."

Zhang Yufen glanced at Shen Xiling and said, "Being older is only this good thing."

After hearing this, Lu Ranran pursed her lips hard to prevent herself from laughing out loud.

In the end, it was Cai Wenshu who ended this one-sided quarrel between mother and son, and waved her hand to let Shen Xiling go upstairs.

"Go and see if the old man has calmed down."

Shen Xiling looked quite reluctant, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted forcefully by Cai Wenshu.

"Go!"

The tone was so unquestionable that even Zhang Yuzhi, who was sitting next to him, raised her eyes and glanced at Cai Wenshu opposite her.

Lu Ranran felt that her grandmother's hand was trembling slightly, so she gently held the old hand and made a gesture to Shen Xiling.

Shen Xiling had no choice but to leave.

Soon, Cai Wenshu returned to her initial kind and gentle self and started joking with the two of them.

"How's it going? Are you scared?"

Zhang Yuzhi took a sip of hot tea, her tone helpless.

"No, I thought you were going to pick up a cane and beat me up in the next second."

The three people present looked at each other for a while, and then burst into laughter.

While chatting and laughing, Lu Ranran unexpectedly discovered that Zhang Yuzhi's eyes were always on her.

Zhang Yuzhi, feeling distracted, smiled apologetically.

As if recalling the past, Zhang Yuzhi felt a little melancholy. She looked at Lu Ranran intently and said:

"You look a lot like your mother."

Lu Ranran was stunned, her expression frozen on her face. After a long while, she murmured:

"My...mom?"

Cai Wenshu, who was standing by, explained softly, "Your mother is my student."

"Honestly, just reading your article reminds me of your mom."

“Talented, young and energetic.”

Cai Wenshu's voice is gentle, yet magical.

Lu Ranran seemed to be pulled into another world, a world that should have felt very familiar but was actually very strange.

It's so strange that people dare not approach it.

Lu Ranran forced a smile, but her smile felt somewhat guilty and full of "shouldn'ts".

"I don't know much about my parents..."

Zhang Yuzhi was a little shocked, then she sighed in understanding.

"That's right, the Lu family probably wouldn't tell you this."

As he said this, he stood up and took out a thick booklet from the cabinet behind him.

Zhang Yuzhi turned the album to a specific page, pointed to a photo of two people, and said:

“This is a photo of your parents.”

"When we were young, Ximing, Boyuan, and Anning and I were very good friends."

Lu Ranran's heart was beating wildly.

She leaned over gently and looked at the two people in the photo.

This was the first time she met two people who were supposed to be close to her.

The girl in the photo has flying shoulder-length hair and is wearing only a simple loose white T-shirt, but her youthful vitality cannot be concealed.

She made a face in front of the camera, and grabbed another boy's face with her hands, forcing him to make a funny expression with her.

The boy who was "forced" by An Ning wore a suit and his tie was already crooked.

He looked reluctant, but couldn't escape from the clutches.

"We were playing a game at the time, and An Ning and Bo Yuan lost."

"The punishment is to take an ugly photo and give it to the other person."

"I didn't expect that after they passed away, this would become one of the few things they thought about."

Lu Ranran's hand gently stroked the face in the photo.

I seemed to hear the lost laughter in my ears, and the scene before my eyes changed completely.

It was as if I had become Alice and had mistakenly entered the virtual world in the photo.

She was a transparent ghost, and could only stand aside and stare blankly. It was not until they chased and ran, and a gust of wind blew in front of her eyes, making her eyes sore, that Lu Ranran came back to her senses.

Seeing a crystal tear on the photo album, Lu Ranran wiped it away hurriedly.

She looked up at Zhang Yuzhi and spoke earnestly.

"Can I...can I take this photo with me?"

Zhang Yuzhi smiled gently, "Of course."

"I'll send someone to deliver it to you then."

Cai Wenshu patted Lu Ranran's back gently, as if coaxing a child, "Ranran, don't cry, don't cry."

Lu Ranran straightened up, smiled and shook her head at Cai Wenshu.

"I'm fine... It's just that I'm seeing my parents for the first time, and I, I'm a little happy."

Later, the two told many interesting stories about An Ning and Lu Boyuan.

They said that An Ning was an energetic and hardworking writer. She always faced everything with a positive attitude, and it seemed that nothing could stump her, nor would she be troubled by anything.

Therefore, they were both surprised when they heard the news of her death.

Cai Wenshu sighed softly.

"An Ning, this child..."

"It is passion that gives her the urge to create. But perhaps, it is also because of passion..."

"Her sorrow was magnified many times."

As he spoke, he couldn't help wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Zhang Yuzhi barely suppressed her sadness, forced a gentle smile towards Lu Ranran, and said:

"My mother and I both... blame ourselves for not being able to help An Ning at that time."

"Now, I hope you know that we are all your family."

"If something happens, don't carry it alone."

As they were talking, the housekeeper came to announce that dinner was ready.
