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

Cai Wenshu only stayed in the lake villa for one day.

After breakfast, Shen Xiling left in silence, which was rare for him.

Lu Ranran on the side was too embarrassed to say anything, and didn't want to ask.

Maybe she did something unconsciously because of that dream last night...

Never mind, she doesn't want to know.

Lu Ranran thought badly.

Not long after Shen Xiling left, Grandpa Shen Xilu pressed the doorbell of the villa.

Lu Ranran was not surprised at his arrival.

"Grandpa, do you want to have breakfast together?"

Shen Xilu waved his hand and went into the house with his hands behind his back.

He did not go directly to Cai Wenshu, but instead began to look around the furnishings in the room.

"Ah, this sofa was given to me by my father when I got married."

"Yeah, the stairs have been renovated, but they don't have the same charm as they did back then."

As he spoke, he naturally walked to the kitchen.

Looking at Cai Wenshu's busy back, Shen Xilu rushed in pretending to be surprised and took the chopsticks from Cai Wenshu's hand.

"Wenshu, what delicious food are you making again?"

"What a coincidence, I haven't eaten since I got up."

"It's a nice day today, so why not take a walk by the lake? What do you think?"

His smiling face caused Cai Wenshu to scold him.

"You old thing, you have no shame."

"If you want to eat, just get your own bowl and don't disturb me while I'm doing my work."

There was also a dish of Tremella and Pear simmering on the stove.

Autumn is dry, and Tremella and Snow Pear nourish the lungs, making it a seasonal sweet soup.

Lu Ranran came to the kitchen.

The amusing conversation between the two people in front of her made her temporarily forget the possible embarrassment of last night.

"Grandpa and grandma, you all go eat."

"I'm done eating. I'll watch the fire."

"Hey——!" Shen Xilu dodged nimbly and stood in front of Lu Ranran.

"Ran Ran, don't come."

"?"

Shen Xilu winked mischievously.

"This is my home court, don't interfere with my performance."

After hearing what Shen Xilu said, Lu Ranran remembered the reason why Cai Wenshu visited the lake area last night.

Cai Wenshu made a "tsk" sound and hit Shen Xilu in an angry manner.

"An old, dishonest fellow!"

"If you want to do it, just stay here!"

She walked around Shen Xilu and pulled Lu Ranran towards the living room.

"Ignore him, let's talk."

Lu Ranran followed Cai Wenshu obediently and sat down in the living room.

Unexpectedly, Cai Wenshu changed her relaxed expression and stared at Lu Ranran seriously.

"Ran Ran, tell me the truth."

"The last time you went to the hospital, was it related to Chu Yue?"

Cai Wenshu directly mentioned "Chu Yue", obviously she had guessed something.

Lu Ranran couldn't hide it either, so she gave a brief account of what happened.

After listening to this, Cai Wenshu snorted coldly.

"She is smart. She knows how to hide behind others."

"When you are not as skilled as others, you don't even think about working hard. What's the point of plotting and scheming?"

Lu Ranran knew that Cai Wenshu was speaking up for her, so she smiled and consoled her:

"Grandma, don't be angry."

"Although we didn't catch Chu Yue this time, at least we didn't let her succeed."

At least plagiarism was not established and the copyright was recovered.

But Cai Wenshu did not feel relieved by this.

"But, after that you—"

"Grandma, don't worry." Lu Ranran held Cai Wenshu's hand in her palm.

"We will definitely not let her control us."

Cai Wenshu wanted to ask something else.

But when she saw Lu Ranran's calm and confident smile, the doubts and worries in her heart gradually dissipated.

Cai Wenshu smiled and sighed.

"Okay, as long as you have a solution."

"Don't underestimate the Shen family because they are so wealthy and powerful that they seem to be omnipotent and can be relied upon for anything."

"But in the end, whether your life can go on or not still depends on your own efforts."

"But we agreed that if you get tired, you must not carry it alone."

"Come to grandma, she will make you something delicious."

Lu Ranran understood at a very young age that life is a journey one walks alone.

But when you are walking alone in the dark night, it would be great if your relatives and friends could light a lamp for you.

Even if the light is short-lived and weak, it is enough to comfort people's hearts.

Lu Ranran smiled with her eyes curved and nodded slightly.

"it is good."

After the pear and white fungus were stewed, grandpa and grandma left.

Shen Xilu asked Lu Ranran to go for a walk by the lake with them.

Was blocked by Cai Wenshu.

"Do you think everyone has as much free time as an old man like you?"

"Ran Ran, don't worry about it, just do your thing."

Lu Ranran smiled and sent the two away.

Cai Wenshu said it well.

She should take care of her own business.

Lu Ranran served herself a bowl of Tremella and Pear, and curled up next to the kotatsu in the study.

Spread out in front of him was the folder that Chang Hong had handed to him.

What Chang Hong said was not false.

The works she listed in the folder all had good ratings on film and television websites.

But the most special one is Zhao Feifei’s debut work "Small Town Past".

Lu Ranran had heard of this work.

But because the author was Chu Yue, Lu Ranran deliberately skipped this work.

"Small Town Past" tells the story of a pair of childhood sweethearts in a small town.

They loved each other in their ignorant youth, but due to fate, the boy stayed in the big city while the girl was forced to stay in her hometown.

But the bright lights and nightlife of big cities are exhausting.

A few years later, the exhausted male protagonist returned to his hometown, hoping to heal his wounded soul in the quiet hometown.

Unexpectedly, the beautiful girl in his memory turned out to be a terrifying murderer...

Lu Ranran had to admit that this work was very good.

Not just stories.

The director's audio-visual language is also unique in style, which vividly expresses the absurdity beneath the calmness of the story.

Lu Ranran looked at the staff list.

The director column clearly reads "Yang Nian".

No wonder.

Yang Nian can be considered a leading figure in today's director circle and is also quite famous internationally.

If I could work with this director...

The ringing of the phone interrupted Lu Ranran's fantasy.

It’s a call from Shen Xiling.

Lu Ranran swallowed nervously.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

The sound coming from the phone was a little distorted.

Lu Ranran felt a little reluctant.

"Ran Ran, do you have time to come to the company?"

"Zhao Feifei is here."

"She wants to see you."

Half an hour later, Lu Ranran came downstairs of Shen's construction with an insulated box.

Reporters gathered at the door.

This time, they all came to target Zhao Feifei.

As usual, Lu Ranran arrived at the meeting room smoothly.

Shen Xiling, Zhao Feifei and Chang Hong were already sitting in the conference room.

Zhao Feifei with full makeup has a truly shocking appearance.

Lu Ranran couldn't help but stare in amazement.

But when Zhao Feifei opened her mouth, she made a teasing sound that was inconsistent with the face of that "goddess".

"Waiting for you for a long time."

"Why are you carrying a thermos lunch box? Are you a housewife?"

Shen Xiling followed her words and glanced at the insulated box in Lu Ranran's hand.

When they looked up and met Lu Ranran's gaze, they both felt a sense of inexplicable embarrassment.

Lu Ranran ignored Zhao Feifei's rudeness for a moment.

Just remember the keyword "insulated box".

So he walked to Shen Xiling and handed him the thermal box.

"Grandma's sweet soup, pear and white fungus."

Zhao Feifei let out a blunt "tsk".

Under Chang Hong's gaze, she barely suppressed her desire to tease.
