Chapter 71 : Extravagant Hope

Qiao Ran thought so hard that his head hurt, he couldn't think of anything.

When she came to her senses, it was already 10: 30 pm. When she returned to the master bedroom, she found that the room was empty and his pajamas were taken away.

Qiao Ran pursed his lips and felt a chill in his heart. Did ji hanxiao go back to the guest room to sleep? He was angry at her for talking to Lanyang on the phone again?

Lanyang wasn't her ex. Did he misunderstand what she had to do with him?

Or... Someone took some ambiguous photos... No, she and Lanyang never had an appointment. The only time she went out was to attend Liu Mengjie's birthday party, but almost everyone in the class was there.

This man, he just didn't believe her.

Qiao Ran was extremely upset, but after thinking about it, she shouldn't have expected anything from this marriage.

...

The next morning, when Ji Hanxiao got up, Qiao Ran was not up yet. He packed up and left the house. He didn't want to leave anything for her.

When Qiao Ran got up, he found the whole villa empty.

Before she was ready to cook the noodles, someone rang the doorbell. It turned out that the old cook introduced by grandma ji came over. His name was Laochen, about fifty years old, and he was very kind and polite.

Laochen's cooking was really good, and the noodles were cooked just right. Qiao Ran was very satisfied and thanked him.

Laochen was also very happy. After getting the lunch menu, he happily went shopping.

Qiao Ran was about to go upstairs and draw her latest inspiration when someone called her to deliver a package, but she didn't buy anything online.

The man's tone was very polite. "Miss, you'd better come to the door and take a look. It was a gentleman who gave me the painting and asked me to send it over."

Painting? A painting from Ran Yang?

Qiao Ran couldn't help but be vigilant. "What's his last name?"

"He said his surname was ran."

"I'm sorry. His paintings are too expensive. I can't accept them. Thank him for me." Qiao Ran hung up the phone after saying that. The person who sent the painting never called her again.

Qiao Ran was relieved that the man didn't insist. His phone vibrated, but he saw a text message with a bank balance changing.

She glanced at it and found that there was an extra 500,000 yuan in the account.

Qiao Ran was so surprised that she wanted to go into the bank to see who was calling her money. Mr. Wang called her and told her that it was the money Mr. Chu paid her.

Half a million was not too small, but Qiao Ran was not at ease. Chu Yiwen was responsible for his attitude and thoughts. What she didn't know was that Chu Yiwen was on a plane to S city.

Chu yiwen looked at the white clouds outside the window. They were capricious, sometimes like sheep looking for food, sometimes like icebergs that had not melted for thousands of years. They were as beautiful as heaven.

"Hehe, S city, I'm back! One day, what you owe me, I will pay you back double!"

Although Mr. Wang rejected Mr. Chu's request and said that his nephew's company was not hiring, Chu Yiwen still conquered his mother and ran back secretly.

Mrs. Chu still had some connections and found a third-rate art school for Chu Yiwen. Although it was under an alias, someone helped her. After graduation, Chu Yiwen could still find a good job...

Not to mention that, after Ji Hanxiao returned to the company, someone sent him a large stack of photos.

In the photo, Qiao Ran was talking to Lanyang, who had taken off her mask. She had a faint smile on her face, while Lanyang's eyes were gentle, as if she were reminiscing about the best times.

Ji Hanxiao's eyes flashed with disgust and threw a stack of photos into the trash can.

Then he stood up again, took out the photos, and asked Dong Yu to take them to a shredder to shred them.

Dong Yu looked at the photos and ji hanxiao shouted with a dark face, "What are you looking at?"

Dong Yu nodded quickly. "Boss, I just glanced at it. I didn't even see who was on it!"

"Get lost!"

Dong Yu knew that the boss was in a bad mood and stopped talking. He quickly took the photo and left.

...

Half a month passed quietly.

Qiao Ran and Ji Hanxiao were still sleeping in separate rooms, and their relationship seemed to have returned to the "Liberation" before it became very cold again.

He treated her like air, and she no longer explained anything.

On this side, Ran Yang had the painting returned wrapped and sent to s university.

"Sir, who is this painting for?"

"That girl named chu qing." Ran Yang sneered. "Of course, keep that Yu Tiansi for a while. She seems to be more alert."

The assistant was also a man in his thirties, naturally with a beard and a lewd look.

"Sir has a very good eye. That Yu Tiansi is quite difficult to handle." The male assistant smiled and said, "But girls, especially those who don't have much experience, are best off. Just ask them out a few more times. This time... Why don't you make an appointment with miss yao?"

When Ran Yang heard this, his face turned cold. "Hmph! That Miss Qiao was the real hard nut to crack. The painting I gave her was worth about a million dollars, and she didn't even accept it. This was the real rich lady. But... I won't ask her out myself. Let Chu Qing call her."

"Yes, sir." The male assistant sneered. "That Miss Qiao is blind. One day, she will come and ask for Mr. Tai."

Ranyang paused and shook his head. "Her husband is Ji Hanxiao! I can't touch her. She'll die if I touch her. Of course... I can rest assured when I see if she's willing to come this time, or if she doesn't have a deep relationship with those primary school girls."

When the male assistant heard this, he immediately understood.

Half an hour later, Chu Qing received the painting from Ran Yang. She was so excited and happy that she looked at it again and again.

A few girls in the dormitory were also envious and crowded around to see the paintings.

"Mr. Ran is such a great person. He actually sent you a painting. It's really great!"

"Yes, it's rare to see such a lackluster artist. We would like to see him too!"

The girls were so excited that their faces turned red. You know, this painting is worth millions. Why don't they like it?

Yu Tiansi frowned. "But... We've only met him two or three times. He gave you such an expensive painting at once, and he was willing to point me out. I always felt..."

"Oh, he's a famous family. What else can he do? Didn't they say that some famous scholars wanted to accept closed door disciples? I think he likes chu qing, right?" Another girl said quickly.

Chu Qing's face was flushed and his eyes sparkled. "You're right. Maybe he wants to be a closed door disciple. This time, I asked for sister Qiao Ran. Maybe she wanted to give us some guidance!" Chu Qing said and carefully rolled up the picture.
