Li Ci was stunned, thinking that this was nonsense, but to Li Ran, this was as if his thoughts were exposed, "Uncle, it's rare for you to fall in love with someone, so what if Yuan Shu is married? As long as you put your heart into it, there's no one you can't snatch away!"

Li Ci was amused by his niece. He smiled and rubbed her soft hair. When a few strands of hair on top of her head stood up due to static electricity, Li Ci smiled even more happily.

He said: "I definitely don't have that kind of feeling towards Yuan Shu. In fact, I admire her very much. I have met all kinds of women, but Yuan Shu is very different from them. Yuan Shu makes me feel..."

Li Ci paused, thought about it, and finally came up with a suitable explanation, "She made me feel that I had met an evenly matched opponent, an opponent I admire. I am willing to be friends with her, but if I can't do that, I won't regret it."

Li Ran felt a little sad, and pouted and said, "But uncle, it's not easy for you to make friends. You have too few friends."

Li Ci was deeply touched. He knew that this was the little girl's mentality, but he also knew that his niece was feeling sorry for him.

He patted Li Ran on the shoulder and argued with her, "Xiao Ran, I am destined to be different from others. Making friends requires more than just getting along well. It requires being evenly matched and having a tacit understanding. I have few friends because I am too picky, but I am very satisfied with my pickiness."

Although 26-year-old Li Ran has experienced an unhappy marriage, she still feels that she is a child. It is only because of her family's doting that she has gradually matured. Today, a word from her uncle suddenly made her see the light.

At this moment, Li Ran thought of the conversation that day.

"Mrs. Shi, just think of this as my submission to you. I hope that our two families will still be friends, not enemies, in the future."

Yuan Shu was stunned. She obviously didn't expect Li Ran to say such a thing.

Ever since he learned that the Li family was going to interfere in Yuan'an's affairs, even Zhao Mian has become more vigilant towards Li Ci, and his communication with Li Ci is limited to business cooperation.

The two families have always had a tacit understanding and would not mention the matter of Yunshe Teahouse. But today, Li Ran, the spoiled daughter of a wealthy family, suddenly brought it up.

"Okay." Yuan Shu was very grateful and agreed solemnly.

After Li Ran hung up the phone, he suddenly felt relaxed and happy, as if the heavy burden that had been weighing on his mind had finally been lifted. He felt more relaxed than ever before.

She walked out happily, walking faster and faster, without even noticing the gap in the manhole cover.

Li Ran was wearing a pair of pink high heels today and accidentally fell into a manhole cover.

Li Ran struggled for a long time but couldn't pull her high heels out, so she gave up struggling and picked up her cell phone to call her bodyguard. Unexpectedly, a man came over.

The man had a clean flat head, wore a pair of ink-colored black-framed glasses, and carried a computer bag.

He stopped in front of Li Ran politely. Li Ran was holding a mobile phone in his hand and was about to make a call. When he saw someone stop in front of him, he was a little confused for a moment.

The man pointed to the ground, "Miss, how can I help you?"

Li Ran was stunned, then nodded blankly.

The man first blew away the dust on the ground, then put the computer bag neatly on the ground, as if the computer bag was more important than him. Then he squatted down and gently grabbed Li Ran's shoes.

Because Li Ran was wearing a tight dress today, it would be easy for him to find her if she squatted down.

The man obviously thought of this as well, and considerately turned around with his back to Li Ran.

He was very careful, trying not to touch the skin on Li Ran's instep, and carefully pulled out her high heels little by little.

After saying that, the man picked up the computer bag, dusted it off, and stood up with his back to Li Ran. After Li Ran stabilized himself and thanked him, he turned around and said politely, "You're welcome."

Seeing the man in front of him about to turn around and leave, Li Ran hurriedly stopped him, "Hey, wait, as a thank you, how about I treat you to afternoon tea?"

The man politely refused her, "It's no big deal, no need to bother. Besides, my lunch break is almost over and I still have to go to work."

Li Ran was a little disappointed that the man rejected her, but she had a good impression of such polite men, so she naturally didn't want to let him go. So she held her phone tightly and chased after him, "Why don't we add each other's contact information? I'll treat you to a meal when I'm free. You helped me, but it's too rude not to let me return the favor. Let's just treat it as making friends."

Now that she said so, it would be rude for him to refuse. Moreover, this was an invitation from a beautiful woman, and even if a man was slow-witted, he would agree.

So the man took out his mobile phone, scanned Li Ran’s QR code, and added her as a friend.

"IT?" Li Ran looked at his online name. His avatar looked like a string of green codes on a computer screen. Combined with his online name, it was obvious that he was in the IT industry.

Li Ran quickly typed out his name and sent it to the man, then said, "My name is Li Ran. I've sent you my account number. Remember to add me. What's your name?"

The man typed his name into the chat box and replied, "My name is Zhou Liu, Miss, I'm going to be late for work, sorry, I have to go."

Zhou Liu walked away quickly, while Li Ran held his cell phone and looked at his back with admiration.

"Wow, what a gentleman, I love it! He looks so handsome even in such a simple plaid shirt!"

After Yuan Shu received the recording, he posted it on Weibo immediately, and netizens immediately began to scold Zheng Yan and Gao Shan.

It is understandable that Zheng Yan was threatened, but Gao Shan became the target of public criticism and his reputation was ruined.

However, Gao Shan didn't know about this. He was doing something with Zheng Yan in the club until he received a call from that man.

Gao Shan was covered in sweat, and even his hands were sticky. When he picked up the phone, his face was very dark, but when he saw the caller ID, he immediately smiled. Although the other party couldn't see it, Gao Shan still bowed.

The person on the other end of the phone said, "You did a good job. Tell Zheng Yan that Wang Shen has a vacancy for a small supporting role. Ask her to come for an audition tomorrow."

Gao Shan nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, then...what about me?"

Of course, Gao Shan was talking about Li Ci.

The man sneered and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised. I am not a person who goes back on his word."

Zheng Yan saw Gao Shan's face change instantly, and her heart was full of contempt. After today, she must escape from this man!

It was not until today that she realized what kind of person this man, with whom she had worked for many years, was and how he could be so despicable and shameless!

Zheng Yan suddenly thought of something and asked, "Where is Chu Mei? I heard that she is pregnant with your child. Where did you place her?"

Gao Shan had already hung up the phone, lying leisurely on the bed, and said proudly: "Of course I have to rest at this time, so I have to be hospitalized."

"How cruel!" Zheng Yan sneered in her heart... Such a man will pay the price for his actions sooner or later!

When Li Ci returned home that night, Li Ran was chatting on his mobile phone, typing on the phone keyboard with both hands, and occasionally showing a shy smile, and did not notice that his uncle had returned home at all.
