ls selling grilled meat. The shop's awning was extended over the road where tall locust trees lined both sides. Beneath it were many small chairs and benches. This street hadn’t undergone any renovati...Chapter 126: Splitting Evenly
The street outside the Rongcheng Garden complex was dimly lit by yellow lamplights at night. People walked back and forth on the road, adding to the desolate atmosphere. The winter air was chilly, and when one exhaled, it immediately turned into a puff of hot steam.
Wang Weiwei, Lin Zouwu, Lin Luoran, and Su Can were leisurely strolling outside the villa complex in Rongcheng Garden, giving off an air of aimlessness reminiscent of their past. This relaxed demeanor was completely inconspicuous for those involved in the incident that had just unfolded on Guojin Road.
"Thanks a lot today," Su Can patted Wang Weiwei's shoulder, feeling warm inside as he thought about how Lin Zouwu and Wang Weiwei came to help him earlier.
Wang Weiwei shot an indifferent glance at Su Can, clearly displeased with his words.
Lin Zouwu chuckled. His skin had become darker and more bronzed due to the military school life this semester. He grinned as he joked, "We are the 'Su Can army', after all."
This brief and clichéd remark passed by quickly as Lin Zouwu continued, "That Tao Chuhong is really annoying. I've disliked him for a long time now; I heard many stories about how great he supposedly is lately, saying who has suffered losses at his hands. I’ve been saying all along that if he doesn't provoke us, we won’t do anything to him; otherwise, I’ll let him know that arms can never compete with thighs. But to be honest, the biggest credit for today’s success should go to my little sister."
Su Can looked at Lin Luoran and waited until she finally said to him, "Don't misunderstand me, I just found Tao Chuhong annoying, and what happened today wasn’t because of you alone."
Su Can nodded with an “Oh” in response.
Seeing Su Can’s usual calm expression, Lin Luoran felt a bit agitated again.
"But speaking of which, Su Can, you really surprised me. When you stopped me from doing something rash and offered to drink for me, I thought you were having a moment of good character. So when did you manage to make that Ferrari of Tao Chuhong obediently park there"
"Wasn’t it because I said I had to use the restroom That was just as Tao Chuhong got out of his car," Su Can smiled.
Lin Luoran inwardly felt a bit miffed; she had deliberately targeted him for not buying a gift, and when she saw him leave on an excuse, she thought it was because of her targeting. She didn’t expect that this guy actually went to scheme against Tao Chuhong, completely ignoring the special treatment she had given him.
This time Lin Luoran’s gaze at Su Can turned somewhat enigmatic, like a thousand-year-old lake. Under such a gaze, Su Can reminded himself to stay calm and not be charmed by this little girl. If he can’t fight back, he can still run away, right
"But how can you guarantee that you will win against him by shaking the dice If you lose, within a minute, you'll have to drink two bottles of beer and throw them at his car. Lin Luoran frowned as she sized up Su Can. Although she was still resentful towards Su Can in her heart, it didn’t affect her rationality. Everyone knew that losing or winning by shaking the dice is fifty-fifty, and Su Can couldn't be absolutely sure to make Tao Chu Hong throw his own car. Such dramatic events are extremely rare.
They had reached where they could see the entrance of Rongcheng Garden. The surroundings were laid out like a tropical forest, which gave a warm feeling in this cold weather. Su Can shook his head and smiled輕鬆地笑了笑,“正如你所說,我可能贏也可能輸。要麼是我喝了酒砸瓶子,要麼是他喝了酒砸瓶子。冇有什麼是絕對的,我隻能保證一個目的——那就是砸了他的車。
Turning around, he saw Lin Luoran and the others staring at him. Su Can explained,“You have to be present on-site to see his state after smashing my uncle's car; then you'll understand why I have a reason to smash his Ferrari.
Lin Zouwu nodded, "Although I might do the same thing if I were in your shoes, wanting to do something, daring to do it, and actually doing it are three different things. I admire you because not only can you think of it, but you can also put your ideas into action."
"Decision-making ability and execution power. Isn't this the standard for a qualified entrepreneur" Su Can joked.
Only then did they realize that in reality, Su Can already owned a media company and was an entrepreneur who had created a new future even while still in university, which made him stand out from others. People like Tao Chu Hong from Nanning Group might have the ability to inherit large amounts of wealth at a young age, but compared with Su Can, who has struggled step by step for himself, they seem less real and unbelievable.
Wang Weiwei, Lin Zouwu, and Lin Luoran originally had different life paths from Su Can. They might never be able to walk together; their life trajectories wouldn’t overlap. Perhaps just a fleeting glance in that summer was already an accidental deviation of fate.
Even though Wang Weiwei lived in a powerful family, he also knew the cruelty of life. If he were in Su Can's position, couldn't he follow in Su Can's footsteps and move towards a bright future one step at a time
Some people may initially appear like weeds growing randomly, but they will eventually burst forth with surprising vitality.
Their thoughts, their willingness to take risks, their unreasonable resistance against life. Many people have questioned why Wang Weiwei was so close to Su Can, yet Wang Weiwei and Lin Zouwu knew that some people didn't need background or support; they exist for a purpose—whether as an example, true friends, or brothers.
“Look at how many promising young men were scared off by your punch. It seems your carefully cultivated feminine image won’t hold up,” Lin Ge Wu teased, sizing her sister up from head to toe. "Pity such a delicate and pretty girl might not find someone to marry."
Lin Ge Ran gritted her teeth and chased after them,“Lin Zouwu, you're betraying me! Do you want to die Return the Shi’an I bought for you! And stop speaking in flowery language, it's making me feel nauseous!”
The two siblings were playing around under the warm lights. The tropical trees and green grass carpeted the ground all the way to the distant villa. Su Can and Wang Weiwei sat on a wooden bench provided for rest.
"If Tao Chu Hong has lost face, he probably won't let this go," said Wang Weiwei with a frown.
"So I needed to involve you in this early on," Su Cen glanced at Wang Weiwei.
Wang Weiwei hesitated for a moment, almost wanting to curse out loud. He pointed towards the villa complex, "My dad hasn't been here for three or four days now. But I reckon he'll come back tonight if he isn't home already tomorrow morning. You've created quite a mess; I'm going to have to clean it up."
Su Cen understood why Wang Weiwei had lingered outside the villa complex in Chengdu Garden at night, hesitant to enter. It wasn't out of sympathy or fondness towards him but rather because he feared that the Blackfaced God, Wang Bo, might already be waiting inside for the return of his offspring.
Su Cen shrugged, "What can I do Can I drag your dad over and say to Uncle Wang, 'You must pay attention to this State Development Planning Commission issue' Your father has been avoiding me recently. If I don't take some measures, how could he possibly show his face"
"If my dad beats me up, I'll definitely hold you accountable for it," Wang Weiwei then flashed a menacing grin, "Don’t make me choose to stand firmly by Ling GeRan's side."
“I hate you,” Su Cen said grimly, seeing Lin Luoran and Lin Zhouwu coming over after some playful bickering. He quickly clamped his mouth shut.
Wang Weiwei sneered at Su Cen with a sense of satisfaction, stretched lazily, then wrapped an arm around Lin Zhouwu’s neck, saying, "I'm so tired. Let's head back."
This left Su Cen and Lin Luoran behind.
After running for some time, Lin Luoran was breathing heavily; it would be too conspicuous if she showed how out of breath she was. Su Cen accidentally glanced at her, noticing that her chest was quite full, almost on par with Tang Wu’s. Thinking about this made him feel guilty. Then he saw Lin Luoran's sharp eyes catch his gaze just now. Su Cen wished he could immediately hop into a taxi and run away.
"Is it pretty" As expected, Su Cen saw Lin Luoran squint her eyes and smile at him in an alluring manner.
Generally speaking, when this girl was angry, she would show the opposite expression. In other words, the more charmingly gentle she appeared, the more she was plotting something unbearable inside.
"Is it bigger than mine or Tang Wu’s Oh right, Liu Xiao Jing's is also not bad."
In another setting or time period, such remarks might make someone’s blood boil. But Su Cen knew Lin Luoran's temperament intimately. He turned around and hailed a taxi on the road, feeling guilty inside, "I'll head back first."
A taxi sped up and stopped in front of Su Cen. Lin Luoran, who was behind him, said with a voice that still carried the characteristic arrogance of Miss Lin, but also a hint of urgency, "Su Cen, what about your promise If you're not a man, feel free to leave at any time; I won't stop you."
Su Cen opened the door and turned around. Looking at Lin Ge Ran bathed in soft light before him, he was taken aback and asked, "What promise"
"Did you give me my Christmas gift" Lin Luoran put her hands on her hips as if she were demanding an explanation.
Su Cen felt a bit stunned in the cold wind. He thought to himself that he had prepared a gift back then, but who knew what happened after However, this was a good opportunity to explain: "At the time, Liu Xiaojing's situation came unexpectedly—anyway, I am not the type of person you imagine."
"I learned about Liu Xiaojing’s matter long ago," Lin Luoran tilted her head to one side with half-lowered eyelids as she glanced at Su Cen. "What I want to know now is about your Christmas gift."
"That thing can exist, but I didn't bring it with me today. Can I make up for it tomorrow" Su Cen awkwardly searched his pockets and indicated that he was really empty-handed.
“I’ll勉強相信你吧,” Lin Luoran sighed. "Today, I bought everyone a gift except you. Aren’t you angry about this"
"I said it can be understood, but there’s no need to insist," Su Cen smiled, not really upset, but could he express dissatisfaction over the difference in treatment
“The moment you spoke those words, I sensed your reluctance. It seems that you still haven't learned how to hide your true feelings,” Lin Luoran smiled gently.
Su Cen gritted his teeth inwardly. Even if you are sharp enough to notice my reluctance, can’t you give me a bit of face
Lin Ge Ran raised her hand and tossed something in it towards him. Su Cen caught it; it was a delicate little box.
"I’m not heartless to this extent. This is the gift I bought for you," Lin Luoran waved her hand casually.
Su Cen opened it, finding a box of chocolate inside—Italian brand by appearance and seemingly quite expensive, which left him somewhat stunned.
Lin Luoran’s face turned slightly red. "Don’t misunderstand; this is to make up for the Christmas gift we agreed upon earlier. I didn't give you one at that time either. Now if you don’t leave, I’m leaving—I'm so tired, I need to go home, take a shower and sleep!"
"Wait." Su Cen thought about it and then opened the chocolate box, broke off half of it, held half in his hand, put the other half back into the box, and tossed it towards Lin Ge Ran. She caught it but didn't understand what he meant, “You!”轉碼失敗!請您使用右上換源切換源站閱讀或者直接前往源網站進行閱讀!
