Before going upstairs, Luan Ran looked at the flat shoes on her feet. She usually puts two pairs of shoes in her car
and changes when driving. She must wear high heels to work, otherwise her mother will scold her if she sees her. But today, she suddenly didn't want to change, so she stepped into the elevator in a pair of flat shoes. In a sense, this is a change, and also her resistance.
Before entering the office, Luan Ran met her assistant first.
Xiao Sang saw her running over as if she saw a savior, looked around, and whispered: "Mr. Su is here today! He said that he wanted me to contact you, and he refused to leave. I had to arrange him in the reception room. I was about to call you. Fortunately, you are back, Mr. Luan!"
"Su Lixi?"
Luan Ran has been involved in a lot of scandals recently. People in the company who don't like her can finally find fault with her. If Su Lixi goes to her company to harass her, it will cause trouble for her again.
She, Luan Ran, must have had a grudge against the Su family in her previous life; otherwise, how could she be so unlucky?
Luan Ran wanted to kick him out, but unfortunately, she couldn't. Just because of Su Lixi's family background, no matter how annoying he was, she had to give him some face.
She entered the reception room, and Su Lixi was sitting in the reception chair. He turned around when he heard footsteps.
Usually, he dressed himself up like a gentleman, wearing a neat suit, and it had to be an expensive one. Unlike now, his clothes were wrinkled.
"Luan Ran." Su Lixi's eyes lit up when he saw her.
Luan Ran actually thought that he looked much more pleasing to the eye like this, not as pretentious as before. She walked to the seat next to Su Lixi and sat down, crossed her legs and said coldly: "Do you have something to talk to me about, or do you want to say those boring little love lines again? If it's the former, just say it if you want to. If it's the latter, you can leave. Don't force me, otherwise I will really call the security and throw you out."
Her cold words made Su Lixi's eyes darken. Did he make her hate him so much?
Su Lixi shook his head and said, "Neither. I just wanted to see how you were doing. I saw the news a few days ago, and I think it's definitely not true."
When he was in a normal state, Luan Ran was still willing to talk to him. Luan Ran tilted his head and said, "Maybe it's true."
"You don't even look down on me, how can you look down on that little star?"
Luan Ran: "..."
I really don't know what to say to him. She should take back that sentence. It was too early to praise Su Lixi. He was the same narcissist as always.
Compared with him, Su Lianqing, in Luan Ran's heart, there was no difference. They were both annoying.
Perhaps seeing her speechless expression, Su Lixi was afraid that she would drive him away if she didn't agree with him, so he smiled self-deprecatingly: "I'm kidding, I don't think you are the kind of person who would look for a little star, and you probably wouldn't do that kind of thing when you have a fiancé, and let people take pictures. That's not your IQ."
This conversation was too normal, unlike what Su Lixi would say. He was a little different from before.
Luan Ran frowned and said, "The clarification has been issued. The things that happened a few days ago have been resolved. You are now talking about this. Don't you think it's a bit late? What were you doing before?"
Su Lixi said with a gloomy expression, "I wanted to come to you a few days ago, but my parents didn't allow it, and then I was locked up."
No wonder, some time ago, I heard that he wanted to make trouble for Xi Shangchen, but he disappeared before he could find any trouble. It seems that he made too much trouble and was found by his parents. He was punished and locked up at home for a few days. Did
he have a sudden enlightenment after he came out? Luan Ran was skeptical. She narrowed her eyes and glanced at Su Lixi up and down. Whether a person is pleasing to the eye depends on their aura. The current Su Lixi is obviously not so arrogant, and it is much more comfortable to look at him.
Luan Ran didn't say anything and continued to listen to him.
"I think I know why you hate me. You think I'm childish, pretentious, and immature, right?"
Luan Ran said with relief, "Your self-awareness is finally clear."
He must have really changed. He didn't get angry when Luan Ran said this. After a pause, he continued: "I grew up in an environment where others followed my lead. I had everything I wanted, but no one taught me what to do. This time, I realized that what I have is actually given to me by others, not really mine. As long as others want to take it back, I will be left with nothing at any time. They can lock me up if they want, and I don't even have the ability to resist."
To put it bluntly, he was spoiled by being too spoiled. He didn't teach him how to behave in the world, and he was ruined by being awakened at the age of 30. Is it too late or too early?
Luan Ran thought about it. There are still people in their 40s and 50s who rely on their parents. It shouldn't be too late for him.
"So?"
Su Lixi was stunned, then said ambitiously, "I plan to take the exam to study abroad, get away from the current environment, and do something of my own."
"What if you can't do it?" Luan Ran got to the point directly. Seeing his dazed expression, she knew that he had never thought about it. He was still a young master. "Think about what to do if you are embarrassed. Not everyone can start from scratch. Most people live a mediocre life. Without your family background, you are no better than passers-by on the street. It is not shameful to rely on your family, but if you can't rely on your family, you still feel that you are relying on yourself. Besides, who will pay for your studies? Don't you have any idea in your mind?"
"Can't you talk like this?" Su Lixi was actually very afraid of the strong character shown by Luan Ran, but Luan Ran's strong mentality and independent ability were exactly what he didn't have. Maybe it was because he didn't have it, so he yearned for it. On the one hand, he wanted it, but on the other hand, he didn't like being suppressed by her.
"Are you a three-year-old child? Do I have to consider your tolerance when I talk to you?"
Her words were straightforward and hurtful, but they were all right. Su Lixi sighed and lowered his head and said, "If... I can change, then can you give me a chance?"
Luan Ran was puzzled. What did he like about her? To be honest, Luan Ran felt that they were not very familiar with each other, and they had no common topics. During the blind date, they could not even coexist peacefully. The fact that he pestered her was stupid in itself. She was puzzled and said, "What do you like about me?"
Su Lixi was silent. He couldn't answer.
Luan Ran rolled his eyes: "Su Lixi, before you go abroad, I suggest you go to the hospital to see a brain doctor."
Liking and being dissatisfied are two different things. He said that he wanted to change himself, but it was not something that could be done by just talking. He couldn't even distinguish his feelings. How could he grow into an independent man?
...
Luan Ran's assistant is not much older than Luan Ran, and she is always by her side to handle all matters. She knows that Su Lixi harassed her boss, and she is a little anxious to see that they have been in the reception room for a long time, fearing that Su Lixi will do something.
Her finger hesitated for a long time on the dial button with the three big characters "Boss Xi" written on it, and the door of the reception room was pushed open from the inside.
Luan Ran led Su Lixi out, and Xiao Sang hurried forward and said, "Mr. Luan, are you done talking?"
That depends on Su Lixi. Anyway, Luan Ran has said everything she should say, and she has recommended a psychologist. She frowned and looked at Su Lixi's dejected face, and said, "You won't block me again in the future, right?"
To be honest, Su Lixi is arrogant, a little overbearing and pretentious, and a little useless, but compared to some playboys, he has never done anything against the law, and his nature is not cruel. Luan Ran just doesn't like him, and she is disgusted by the fact that he blocked her, but she doesn't hate him, so there is no question of forgiveness. She just needs him to stop bothering her and wasting her time in the future.
Su Lixi nodded and said, "No."
Not only was Luan Ran relieved, but Xiao Sang was also relieved. It was good that he didn't bother Xiao Luan. What if he broke up Xiao Luan and Boss Xi, the engaged couple? Would he be responsible? Such a perfect couple, absolutely not!
Xiao Sang was very nervous.
Luan Ran said to his assistant Xiao Sang, "Show them away."
After she finished speaking, she walked straight to the elevator.
Su Lixi was annoying, but there was one thing he said: You can't live without the ability to resist.
