Lin Yu's words did not elicit much of a reaction from Wang Ran.
After exchanging a few words, Wang Ran had a rough idea of Lin Yu's style.
If she could be easily triggered by a few words, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to approach him.
On the contrary, Lei Siren revealed an expression of disbelief.
Almost two years?
Over these past two years, Lei Siren had interacted with Xia Yiwei quite a lot.
He had tried every possible method to win her favor.
Xia Yiwei had stated more than once:
Although she was single, she did not like Lei Siren.
Actually, the main point was that she didn't like him.
But at this moment, within Lei Siren's logical thinking, he completely failed to realize this.
All he could think about was:
Didn't she say she was single? It turns out she had been playing me for a fool this whole time!
Being played for a fool was one thing, but now he had to play along with her little boyfriend's act?
What a disaster!
Lin Yu did not focus his attention on Lei Siren.
He stared intently at Wang Ran's reaction, secretly marveling at her strong mental fortitude!
Being continuously provoked, yet still able to maintain a calm smile.
An ordinary person definitely couldn't do that.
Just now, when investigating the Xia family's background on the virtual computer, Lin Yu had also looked into Wang Ran's situation.
Wang Ran was originally a young stage actress.
Xia Zhenfeng had a hobby, which was watching stage plays.
Rich people, after all.
It was inevitable for them to have hobbies fueled by their wealth.
How could merely watching stage actors perform be satisfying enough?
Wang Ran was a smart woman; relying solely on her fleeting youth was never a long-term plan.
It was better to make plans for herself early on while she was still young.
After interacting back and forth.
Wang Ran moved into the Xia family home and became Weiwei's Auntie Wang.
Xia Zhenfeng was not a fool who only had eyes for young girls, either.
In the few years Wang Ran had been with him, she had always been a girlfriend in name only.
At least for now, there were absolutely no signs that the two were going to get married.
Come to think of it.
On one hand, Xia Zhenfeng was considering the pressure from his family, and on the other hand, he was shrewd in his own calculations.
While I am alive, you can spend money however you want.
But when I die, don't even think about taking an extra penny.
Having been strung along for so many years, Wang Ran, being directly involved, could certainly guess Xia Zhenfeng's thoughts.
Either she was unwilling to accept it and was always ready to wait for an opportunity to truly rise in status.
Or she was reluctant to let go, unable to abandon her current luxurious lifestyle, as it is hard to go from luxury to frugality.
Looking at Wang Ran's perceptive and calm demeanor, it seemed more like the former?
Screech...
Before the conversational atmosphere could gradually ease, the sound of sudden braking caught everyone's attention.
The familiar sound from his dreams reappeared in reality.
Even though it was his first time visiting the Xia family as a guest, Lin Yu knew very well that this was the head of the Xia family, Xia Zhenfeng, returning!
The people sitting around the table reacted quickly, standing up one after another to look out the window.
Through the sheer curtains, they could clearly see a McLaren pulling into the parking area.
Tsk tsk tsk!
Not driving an old man's car at his age really showed a unique style.
Xia Yiwei immediately pulled on Lin Yu's arm and whispered a reminder:
My dad is here. You can talk to him as little as possible, just leave everything to me!
Lin Yu did not refuse, nodding in agreement.
Since before they even arrived at the Xia residence, Xia Yiwei had been constantly warning him about her father's eccentric behavior.
The data that could be searched on the internet was completely rigid.
But people are fluid.
The same person at different times could have drastically different personalities.
Under the premise of not knowing Xia Zhenfeng's style of doing things, it was better not to express any opinions rashly.
Whether today was a trap or not was still unknown.
Let's go, let's head to the main hall.
Xia Xiashan said to the crowd.
In fact, she was mainly saying it to Lin Yu.
Hearing this, everyone immediately got up and went to the main hall.
Only Wang Ran remained unbothered.
She stood up slowly and followed behind them with a leisurely pace.
Which kid is Lin Yu?
Is Lin Yu here?!
Before they even saw a figure, a loud and clear voice had already echoed into the hall.
Lin Yu suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Good heavens!
He was coming straight for him?
What on earth did the nurse sister talk about with her dad?
Lei Siren unconsciously curled up the corners of his mouth.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Lin Yu also changed from fear to smugness.
Listening to Uncle Xia's tone, there was definitely nothing good in store for Lin Yu.
If he couldn't deal with Lin Yu, couldn't Uncle Xia deal with him?
