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

Although it sounds a bit cheesy to say this, Lu Ranran has to admit it.

She was amazed by herself in the mirror.

Ella's design idea is not to make the disharmonious things on the face harmonious, but to magnify the advantages and turn the disadvantages into features.

In this way, everyone's beauty is unique.

Ella stood aside with a smug smile on her face. She looked at the mirror as if she was admiring her masterpiece.

"Ran Ran, this is a gift from your mother..."

After hearing Ella's words, Lu Ranran's heart trembled.

She leaned closer to the mirror and carefully examined the distinct contours, delicate eyebrows, exquisite nose tip, and full and rosy lips...

Will Shen Xiling like it?

Lu Ranran was shocked. Why would she ask such a question?

Subconsciously, she distanced herself from the mirror, and her eyes changed from surprise and admiration to cautious timidity.

Suddenly, Lu Ranran felt dizzy.

The next second, Ella's face was in front of her, with a serious expression and eyes full of scrutiny.

"Lu Ranran," Ella gritted her teeth as she spoke, "Are you in love?"

"?!"

"Look at yourself," Ella pushed the back of the chair and turned Lu Ranran back to the mirror. "When you just opened your eyes, you were still amazed at my skills, but you were obviously satisfied. Don't deny it, I've seen this kind of satisfied look many times."

"Now, look, you are so cautious and trembling. Are you afraid that the man won't like you?"

Lu Ranran was speechless for a moment.

Ella was perceptive and she couldn't refute, but her face turned red instantly.

She coughed a few times to cover up, turned her eyes away from the mirror, and talked about other things.

"......Aunt, you said a lot of idioms."

Ella instantly got furious and screamed.

"You, you! Why don't you learn from your mistakes? You just inherited your mother's sharp tongue."

"I'm furious!"

Lu Ranran quickly turned around and said:

"No, no, no, I'm just making this up. What's so great about using idioms? Oh, no!"

Seeing Ella's face getting darker and darker, Lu Ranran's mind worked quickly. Soon, she found a suitable topic.

"Auntie..." Lu Ranran held Ella's hand flatteringly, "Today I met some of my mother's former classmates..."

Seeing that Ella's expression seemed to have eased, Lu Ranran continued:

"Didn't you mention some manuscripts left by my mother before?"

“They don’t seem to know about this.”

"Aunt, can you tell me in detail?"

Lu Ranran concealed what they thought was "plagiarism".

If Ella knew about this, given his personality, he might just rush over to Chu Yue and confront her.

Ella uttered a "hmm" and sat down.

"Is this why you came to see me today? Look at me, I almost delayed your work."

After that, he cleared his throat and said seriously:

"Not long before your mother passed away, she asked me to help send a script she had to He Yu."

"He Yu?"

Lu Ranran keenly caught the name.

Shen Xiling once mentioned that when he was a child, he heard An Ning and Ella mention this name in conversation. Although he didn't know which character it was, the pronunciation was the same as the one Ella said.

Ella nodded, a look of melancholy on her face.

"This person... is my first love."

"What a pity," Ella said with a self-deprecating smile, "He is heterosexual and likes your mother."

This information is really too shocking.

Although Lu Ranran tried to remain calm, Ella still saw through her clues.

"You find it ridiculous, too, don't you?"

Lu Ranran did not answer, but brought the topic back to the main topic.

"Mom asked you, Auntie, to help distribute a script...Why didn't she distribute it herself?"

Ella rolled her eyes in disdain.

"This stinky man was rejected by your mother. He said he wanted to heal his broken heart and ran off to America."

"He studied directing. I heard he's doing pretty well in the US."

"I think your mother was looking for investment for her script at that time, so she asked me to help send the script to her~"

Lu Ranran tilted his head and thought for a while, then curled the corners of his mouth and said jokingly:

"Did my mother really ask you for help?"

Ella's expression froze for a few seconds, then he sighed resignedly and lightly hit the back of Lu Ranran's hand as if in revenge.

"You are so clever, you really inherited An Ning's intelligence."

"Yes, I shamelessly wanted to try harder, but I couldn't find an excuse, so I used An Ning as an excuse."

"Who could have thought of this stinky man!"

Ella spat harshly.

"He got married not long after arriving in the United States, and asked us not to contact him anymore."

"What kind of person is this! He acts like he's so special."

Lu Ranran said:

"So the manuscript you mentioned, aunt, is the one you sent to, uh, to him?"

Ella nodded.

"Then, is there anything saved in the computer——"

"Alas..." Ella sighed, "At that time, my salon had just opened, and it was just a small store."

"My daily income is tight, how can I have spare money to buy a computer? I have to go to the Internet cafe to get it."

After Lu Ranran thought about it, the whole story gradually became clear.

Perhaps Ella had once received a script from An Ning, but he was busy with his career and wanted to win back his first love, so he probably sent it via email without even reading it.

After An Ning passed away, Ella remembered that there was such a "relics", so she wanted to retrieve it and keep it.

But Ella posted it in an Internet cafe at the time, and it has been a long time since then, so the file was not saved and has long disappeared.

That's why I asked that question in Zhuxi Village.

At this point, Ella suddenly reacted and said excitedly:

"Do you have any clues about the manuscript?!"

"This is your mother's relic! If you find it, you must show it to me!"

"After all, that was the last time An Ning contacted me before she passed away..."

When talking about An Ning, Ella couldn't help but feel sad, and her shoulders drooped dejectedly.

"Auntie, don't worry," Lu Ranran comforted her gently, "I will find it back."

Ella just hummed softly, no longer having the lively and excited look from before.

Lu Ranran said:

"If possible, could you do me a favor, aunt?"

"what?"

"I want to borrow your mailbox."

"It's just a small matter," Ella waved her hand, and soon her face became uncertain again, "Can you really find An Ning's manuscript?"

Lu Ranran nodded, "I'll try my best."

Ella heard this, forced a smile and said nothing.

Lu Ranran understood that it was time for her to leave.

Before leaving, Lu Ranran seemed to remember something and turned to Ella and said:

"Aunt, if you have time..."

“You can watch “Once Upon a Time in a Small Town.”

“A very good movie.”
