In this world, no matter how much suffering Ye An Ran had, she could silently swallow it all down. No matter what responsibility she had, she could bear it all by herself.
Why did he care so much about that man? Although he repeatedly tried to wipe him clean in his mind, the moment he saw him, his body would unconsciously tremble. His heart was beating so fast that it felt like it was about to burst out of his chest.
For a moment it was as if the noise of the crowd around her had vanished, and she could only hear the sound of men's shiny shoes on the deck, step by step.
Just now, he was clearly looking at her walking straight towards him, but he purposely ignored her and continued to chat with Gu Qing, as if he was deliberately trying to embarrass her.
After a long while, she finally turned her head and raised her eyebrows as if by accident, and said with a surprised tone: "Miss Ye, we meet again. It seems that we are fated to meet."
Whether it was fate or not, Ye An Ran really did not know, but she could hear the strong ridicule in the man's voice very clearly.
He didn't know if it was really a coincidence or not, but recently, he did meet with Xi Jin Cheng a few times.
There was a surge of strength in her heart. Although her body was slightly trembling as she tried to avoid him, there was a voice in her eyes that constantly clamoured that she did not want to be looked down upon by a man.
Ye An Ran clenched his fists tightly, and said with a slight smile on his face as he looked into Xi Jin Cheng's unfathomable eyes: "Being able to meet Chair President is my good fortune."
The woman's words were so pleasant to hear, and each word she said was enigmatic and moving. However, he could clearly hear the mockery in her words. How could Ye An Ran treat this as luck, it was simply laughable. He did not try to please her, it made her feel like she was being aggressive.
It was at this time that Gu Shi Ming slowly walked over after exchanging a few words with the people around him, and lightly nodded to everyone.
"Old Man Gu's spirit is still completely good," Ye An Ran said with a slight smile on his face, then took the initiative to speak to Gu Shi Ming, "I wonder if you still remember me?"
The lady spoke to Gu Shi Ming anxiously, but in a moment, Xi Jin Cheng understood her intentions.
There were almost five hundred people on the cruise ship that attended the party, but it was unknown how many of them went out of their way to meet Gu Shi Ming or meet the young noble of the Gu family. I'm afraid that the unexpected surprise is that Xi Jin Cheng, who did not reveal his whereabouts, suddenly came.
Thinking about it this way, Xi Jin Cheng couldn't help but feel annoyed. He had long ago told this woman that if she had any difficulties, just ask for his help. As long as she begged him, there was nothing that he couldn't do.
He wanted to see the woman compromise and endure, an anxious desire to see her surrender to him, but Ye An Ran would rather ask Gu Shi Ming for help than to lower her head to him.
His right hand was tucked into the pocket of his slacks, his back was straight, and he seemed to be paying attention to what the woman was going to do next.
There were too many people trying to get close to Gu Shi Ming, and he was so young that he wanted to hand over his family's business to his children, so how could he have the heart to memorize the people in front of him? He squinted his eyes and sized them up, then laughed and shook his head: "I'm old, and won't work, there are so many people who can't remember anything."
He saw that Ye An Ran was quite handsome, following the topic of the cruise party, wearing a simple T-shirt and shorts. On the outside, there was a light colored denim jacket with a loose knot on his lower abdomen.
"Dad, what kind of memory do you have?" Gu Qing couldn't help but remind him, "She is Uncle Ye's daughter, Ye An Ran. A few years ago, every New Year, Uncle Ye would accompany you to stay up and play chess with you."
Gu Shi Ming lowered his head and thought for a while, and with a look of realization, he laughed: "I remember now, your Uncle Ye is good at playing chess, it makes people sigh in admiration, and can force me into a corner every time."
"You're still talking about it. The moment you see that the loss is irreversible, you won't be able to deny it." Thinking about the past, Gu Qing couldn't help but tease him.
"Yes, yes," Gu Shi Ming gently caressed the jade thumb ring, his eyes seemed to be immersed in his memories, as he muttered, "Yes, there is such a thing."
After a long while, Gu Shi Ming raised his head, as though he had his interest piqued, "So that means it's been a while since I last saw your father."
The corner of Ye An Ran's mouth couldn't help but have a bitter smile as his eyes lightly skimmed over the rim of the champagne glass: "Father's health has been getting worse and worse in recent years. If it weren't for him being hospitalized a few times due to illness, I might even have come to find you for a game of chess during the new year."
Xi Jin Cheng took a sip of the champagne on the table and observed the situation quietly. It had to be said that Ye An Ran also had some skills. Since he knew that Gu Shi Ming was nostalgic about the past, he played a cards up his sleeves and successfully reminded Old Man Gu of the past. He became somewhat interested in her words.
"Dad, you still don't know?" Gu Qing turned her head and said to him in a low voice, a hint of thoughtfulness flashed past her eyes, "There's a problem with Uncle Ye's company, An Ran is currently bearing the burden of being in Yeats by himself."
Gu Shi Ming listened carefully, and the expression on his face was somewhat astonished. He raised his eyebrows: "There's actually such a thing?"
Although Gu Shi Ming did not care about the outside matters and wholeheartedly enjoyed himself in the hall, but how could he not have heard of such a huge thing that happened before?
The other party was an old cunning fox who could shake the entire business world. He did not need to think deeply to know the reason why, whether the Ye Family would help or not. Gu Shi Ming did not know the answer in his heart, so he pretended to be deaf and mute to give himself a way out.
Xi Jin Cheng watched the scene from the side and could not help but sneer in his heart, cursing at the old fox.
