I kicked the male lead away

Fang Zhilan's [-]th birthday dinner was organized like a princess's coming-of-age ceremony, splendid and grand, making others envious.

Fang's mother seemed to intend to make up for all the neglected love in the past overnight.

The radiant hall is interspersed with waiters carrying red wine, and celebrities and nobles from all walks of life come and go.

The fragrance of clothes and the shadows on the temples are radiant.

As the protagonist of the party, Fang Zhilan was naturally led by Li Hua to greet these so-called friends in Vanity Fair:

"This is the director of XX Jewelry, just call me Aunt Wang."

"This is Uncle Zhang, who used to be a partner with your father."

"This is Uncle Ma..."

Fang Zhilan suppressed her impatience, and with a generous and polite smile, she clinked glasses one by one.

When she looked up, Fang Zhilan happened to see Bai Nanrou approaching from not far away. She was wearing a light blue gauze evening dress, and her whole body seemed to be shrouded in an unreal halo.

The corners of Fang Zhilan's lips curled up, and she was about to walk in her direction, when Li Hua who was beside her suddenly called her: "Langlan, come and meet Aunt Zheng."

She turned her head, and saw Mother Fang talking with a woman who was dressed in a black dress and was well-maintained.

What caught the eye even more was the tall and straight young man in a black suit beside her.

"Hello, Aunt Zheng." Fang Zhilan walked over and nodded slightly.

"Hey, I didn't expect that little chubby girl to grow up so big in a blink of an eye." Unlike the politeness on other people's faces, Aunt Zheng's face was full of genuine liking for her, "When you were young, Auntie I even hugged you."

As she spoke, she patted the arm of the man next to her again: "Shao Yuan, this is the younger sister of the Fang family, remember, she always liked to run with you when she was a child."

"Yes, yes." Fang's mother repeatedly echoed, "I remember that Shaoyuan was impatient at that time, but when you moved, he relied on us to beat him to death and refused to leave."

The two mothers laughed together and talked about some old things.

Fang Zhilan was slightly dazed, she didn't expect that she would run into the male second with the heroine's childhood sweetheart in the original text here.

And looking at the implied smiles on the faces of the two parents, it seems that they intend to... match him and himself?

"Why are you standing there in a daze?" Li Hua affectionately supported her waist, "Hurry up and say hello to Brother Shaoyuan."

No.

Not it seems.

Rather yes.

The smile on Fang Zhilan's face was a little stiff, but she just nodded in a businesslike manner: "Hello."

The young man named Shao Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, with a bit of regret: "Lanlan doesn't recognize me? I'm so unfamiliar."

Not only did he recognize him, but he also knew that you were just a down-and-out second male lead in the later stage, Fang Zhilan thought wickedly.

But she didn't show it, but pretended to be a little strange to him.

"It's okay, it's okay." Fang's mother hurriedly uttered a voice to defuse the awkward atmosphere, "In the future, if you walk around more, you will naturally get familiar with it."

Then Fang Zhilan said: "Langlan, now your Aunt Zheng's family's branch in this city will be run by Shao Yuan, and you will have many opportunities to meet each other in the future."

Fang Zhilan was concerned about Fang's mother's face, so she had no choice but to nod: "Okay."

Not far away, Bai Nanrou suddenly stopped and looked at the four people who were enjoying themselves happily, especially Fang Zhilan who had been hugged by Li Hua all this time, who had to turn his back on him, his gaze gradually deepened.

When Fang Zhilan finally got out of it, she let out a long sigh of relief, and turned around, only to find that Bai Nanrou had long since disappeared.

An inexplicable panic welled up in her heart, and she looked around hastily, regardless of the fact that it was still her birthday party.

Finally, I found that familiar figure on the balcony on the second floor.

"Why did you come here?" She trotted over, panting slightly.

"Enjoy the scenery." Bai Nanrou supported his head with one hand on the railing, lazily.

Fang Zhilan followed her gaze, and the open-air garden below was lit up, and the guests came and went, enjoying themselves.

It looks gaudy, but she is not very interested. She turns her head to look at Bai Nanrou, her black and white eyes are full of righteousness: "Where is my gift?"

Bai Nanrou sneered: "You close your eyes."

Fang Zhilan thought for a while, then closed her eyes with longing and anticipation.

The night is soft, and the fragrance of flowers floats from nowhere, accompanied by the sound of cicadas in early summer, enveloping the two of them together.

Bai Nanrou lowered his head, and pressed her lips gently.

Fang Zhilan was caught off guard by a big jump, and immediately opened her eyes, subconsciously trying to escape, but someone had already pinned the back of her head.

Soft and close, with wet warmth, very gentle, but not sticky.

With her upturned nose, she gently rubbed Zhilan's cheek above her, and the two of them breathed entangledly, drowning together in this endless summer night.

Fang Zhilan was so dazed by the kiss that she forgot to question Bai Nanrou in the end, is this a gift?

It's not bad, but...

whatever!Fang Zhilan gradually stood on tiptoe.

----------------

After the birthday party, Li Hua officially returned to Fang's Group, using her former prestige to attract many new investments and projects for the company.

Hearing the increasing Luck value in the system notification, Fang Zhilan was not only unhappy, but even let out a long sigh.

Now that she, the mother, is watching from inside and out, I don't even have the chance to sneak to Bai Nanrou's apartment to meet her after work. The two haven't seen each other for a long time.

On this day, Fang's mother specially invited Fang Zhilan to a restaurant for dinner.

Obviously we can meet at home, Fang Zhilan doesn't understand what he means, but he still does it.

It's just that when the door of the box opened and saw Zheng Shaoyuan in a suit waiting inside, she understood everything.

"Lanlan?" He seemed to stand up unexpectedly, and immediately realized, his face was warm, "Since you're here, why don't you sit down first?"

"No, I can't." Fang Zhilan refused outright, turned around and was about to leave.

The man's hands were quick and his eyes were quick, and he took a step forward with his long legs, holding her wrist, and said anxiously, "Do you hate me so much?"

Seeing Fang Zhilan's frightened face, he immediately let go of his hand, and said in a disappointed tone, "Sorry, I was the one to be rude."

Fang Zhilan didn't want to blame him, but said: "Then can I go?"

"Okay." Zheng Shaoyuan bowed his head in frustration, "Lanlan, can we meet again in the future?"

Fang Zhilan didn't answer him, turned around and opened the door to leave.

Back home, Fang Zhilan walked into Li Hua's study with ease, and it was the first time since she woke up that she looked so worried: "Mom, what do you mean?"

"Huh?" Mother Fang put down the pen in her hand unhurriedly, "I came back so early, didn't you have dinner with Shaoyuan?"

"You lied to me!" Fang Zhilan said angrily.

"Lanlan." Mother Fang sighed softly, "Mom is also doing it for your own good."

"For my own good?" Fang Zhilan felt that she had been forced into a rebellious stage, "I don't feel that at all."

"You're still young, of course you don't understand." Mother Fang bent down, opened the drawer, took out a thick envelope from it, put it on the desk, "Open it and have a look."

Fang Zhilan was skeptical, picked up the envelope, only to find that it was full of photos inside.

The different angles and different scenes are all when she and Bai Nanrou are together outside, or holding each other's arms, or leaning close together, even including the time when they kissed on the night of the birthday party.

"This..." Fang Zhilan's heart beat suddenly accelerated, and she felt a little difficult to breathe.

"Don't worry." Fang's mother said, "I spent a lot of money on all these photos. I even bought the negatives from the photographers."

"Who the hell..." Fang Zhilan murmured.

Li Hua frowned: "You don't understand until now? You and her are the focus of attention. If it's not this person today, it will be another person who will take these photos tomorrow. When the time comes, the whole world will see them and hurt you." It's only you!"

"No." Fang Zhilan's gaze became firm, "Even if it was exposed, I wouldn't feel anything. Now that I have done it, I have the courage to bear being made public."

Mother Fang leaned on the back of the chair and rubbed the center of her eyebrows: "You are really just like her."

"she?"

"Since the person who took the photo wanted to find me, he would naturally use this as an excuse to find Bai Nanrou, but she didn't think so at all."

"It's not a big deal in the first place." Fang Zhilan blurted out what was in her heart.

"Big deal." There was a gleam of coldness between Fang's mother's brows, "Lanlan, you are too naive. As a representative of the company's image, won't it affect the judgment of consumers and shareholders when these scandals break out?"

"..." Fang Zhilan was taken aback for a moment before she realized it.

"But the photo was sent to Bai Nanrou, but she didn't respond. She wished that everyone in the world would know about your affairs, even at the cost of the group's loss." Fang's mother looked serious, "But I don't allow it."

"And..." Fang's mother said again, "Actually, before that meal, I asked Bai Nanrou to meet and asked her to stay away from you. I didn't expect that she would pretend not to know you afterwards and asked you to take her with you." Let her get to know me."

Fang Zhilan's face was full of surprise.

"She didn't tell you, did she?" Li Hua said calmly, "She did it on purpose, and asked you to make a choice between me and her."

"Why?" She whispered, "Why did you tell me now?"

"Because mom doesn't want to hurt you. Originally, as long as you obediently go abroad to study, nothing will happen, but I can't force you if you don't want to." Fang's mother said meaningfully, "Shaoyuan is a very good boy. I believe that with him, you will have real happiness."

"I don't want it!" Fang Zhilan refused without thinking, turned around and wanted to escape from this place.

"Or there is a third option." Li Hua said before she rushed out the door, his tone was unprecedentedly sharp, "Lanlan, I want to take back the equity in your hand."

Fang Zhilan paused, and then remembered that more than half of the equity in her hand, as an inheritance, should belong to Fang's mother, but she was in a coma at the time, so she controlled it.

"As long as the equity is not in your hands, you can do whatever you want at that time, and it won't affect the company's reputation." After saying this, Fang's mother felt exhausted, "Lanlan, this is the biggest concession that mother can make gone."

It's not that she failed to feel her daughter's concern for the company, and she could also imagine how she tried her best when she was in a coma, but Li Hua couldn't just watch Fang Zhilan ruin her and her ex-husband because of her capriciousness. hard work.

Whether she wants Bai Nanrou or the company's shares, it all depends on her choice.

Fang Zhilan lowered her head, her cheeks hidden in the shadows.

"Let me think about it," she whispered.

With this thought, she tossed and turned in bed all night, unable to fall asleep.

Before dawn, Fang Zhilan quietly woke up the system: "B126, what do you think will happen if the luck value in this world is not fully accumulated?"

"Beep-beep--" The system didn't count, and the swear words blurted out were automatically blocked, "You don't really want the shares, do you?"

"Tell me." Fang Zhilan avoided talking, "What will happen?"

"Only with a complete luck value can you form a complete you, and vice versa." The system felt a little helpless, "Now that the Fang family is flourishing, soon you will be able to consummate your merits and virtues, and leave this world smoothly. I really want to let the efforts of the past be reversed." once?"

Fang Zhilan was silent for a moment, did not answer, lay down under the quilt, went to sleep, and said after waking up.

After sleeping all day, she was woken up by the ringtone of her mobile phone.

"Hello?" Fang Zhilan asked in a daze.

"Why are you still sleeping?" Bai Nanrou's tone on the other side was still infinitely warm and tolerant, "Lanlan, I've booked you a plane ticket to go abroad."

"Going abroad?"

"Yes, it belongs to you, a real birthday present." Speaking of this, Bai Nanrou, who has always been calm, couldn't help but slightly raise his tone.

Speaking of birthday presents, Fang Zhilan remembered what Fang's mother said last night: "You..."

"what happened?"

"It's okay." She didn't know why she didn't pierce the window paper, "Is there anything else? Then I'll hang up first."

This was the first time she had hung up on her own call.Bai Nanrou's lips on the other end of the phone were tightly pursed, but thinking of the surprise after arriving abroad, he gradually became happier after all.

Forget it, let's meet and ask again.While Fang Zhilan was packing the suitcases, she made excuses for herself.

The night before arriving at the airport, she purposely waited in the study for Li Hua to come back, and the first thing she said was: "I've already thought about it."

"Hmm." Li Hua was not surprised, "So you decided to give up the shares?"

"I'll tell you this answer when I come back from abroad. It's your punishment for cheating me into meeting Zheng Shaoyuan last time." Although Fang Zhilan said this, the corners of her lips curled up quietly.

"Lanlan." Li Hua hugged her and patted Fang Zhilan's back lightly, "You will always be my mother's good daughter."

Fang Zhilan also stretched out her hand, and returned the same movement.

Even if she wasn't Mother Fang's biological daughter, she didn't want to make her feel bad.

As for whether Bai Nanrou forgives or not, it depends on whether she surprises herself enough.

But Fang Zhilan knew in her heart that no matter what kind of gift it was, she would probably be reluctant to let it go.
