In the end, Mao Hongkai did not charge Xu Jiao Ran for the meal. After all, he had already paid three million dollars, so he did not care about the few hundred dollars for the meal.
After leaving the Thousand Flavours Restaurant, Li Nan drove Xu Jiao Ran and her parents to visit Xu Jiao Ran’s school and then to the city for a tour.
Although Xu Chengwang and Guan Renrong were also from Longcheng, they had always lived in the countryside of Longcheng and had not been to the city for so many years.
It was not until the afternoon that Xu Chengwang and Guan Renrong proposed to go back.
“Uncle and auntie, otherwise I’ll just drive you back, there’s no need to take the bus.” Li Nan said somewhat intolerantly.
Originally, Li Nan said he would drive them back directly, but they insisted on taking the bus back by themselves, and now they had arrived at the bus station.
“That’s right, dad and mum, why don’t we let Li Nan take you back?” Xu Jiao Ran also persuaded.
Xu Jiao Ran really couldn’t bear to let her dad and mum take the bus.
“I don’t think so, Li Nan has been running around with us all day, so how can we give him any trouble?” Dad Xu Chengwang said.
“That’s right, Ran Ran, you and Li Nan haven’t even gotten along yet, you can’t keep on bossing him around like this, and I think you’re making a habit of it, that’s not good!” Old mother Guan Renrong complained with a sense of humor.
“Mom, you …… what are you talking about ……,” being said by her own old mother, Xu Jiao Ran suddenly turned red with shame.
Apart from the fact that it was because of what her mother said about her relationship with Li Nan, another thing was that after her mother reminded her of this, Xu Jiao Ran also seemed to be somewhat aware of this problem, that is, now she did seem to have developed a bit of a habit of casually telling Li Nan to do this and that.
After realising this, Xu Jiao Ran’s heart was a bit surprised, because she was not usually like this, in front of others, she was always quiet and disciplined, but for some reason, in front of Li Nan, she unconsciously became carefree.
What was the reason for this?
Why did she take Li Nan’s help and support for her as a matter of course?
Xu Jiao Ran’s heart was a bit puzzled for a while.
And at this moment, when Li Nan heard Guan Renrong’s words, he was also a little embarra*sed.
“That, it’s alright, Xu Jiao Ran and I are old cla*smates, it’s only right to help her with this, I’m willing to do it myself.” Li Nan explained with a smile, he was sort of excusing Xu Jiao Ran.
“Li Nan, I know you are a good boy, you don’t need to speak for Ran Ran.” Xu Chengwang said with a smile.
“Ran Ran, you can’t always bully Li Nan just because he’s honest either, remember!” Xu Chengwang educated Xu Jiao Ran again.
“Got it ……” At this moment, Xu Jiao Ran was still suffering from those problems in her heart just now, and she spoke with a little bit less breath.
“Well, the car is leaving, you guys just go back first, we’ll go first.”
After saying that, Xu Chengwang and Guan Renrong both got on the bus that led to the village.
The bus started and then left straight away.
And Xu Jiao Ran and Li Nan also had to get back in the car and head back in the direction of the school.
“Li Nan, I’m so sorry to have delayed you for the whole day today!” Xu Jiao Ran suddenly said.
In her heart, she was obviously still feeling sorry for her mother’s rebuke just now.
“Alright, don’t take this little matter to heart. If that were the case, you would be too out of touch.” Li Nan said with a smile.
Hearing Li Nan say this, Xu Jiao Ran’s heart felt slightly better.
Looking at Li Nan who was driving seriously next to her, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Xu Jiao Ran’s mouth.
Although she and Li Nan had once been cla*smates, to be honest, the impression that Li Nan had left on Xu Jiao Ran was not very deep, and if she had not met him again, Xu Jiao Ran would have almost forgotten that she had such a high school cla*smate.
But now, through the recent contact, Xu Jiao Ran found out that this old cla*smate of hers had so many shining points.
Xu Jiao Ran had the feeling that she had unintentionally unearthed a treasure that had been forgotten in a corner from her dust-covered storage room, which made Xu Jiao Ran’s heart feel very happy.
As for Li Nan, he accompanied Xu Jiao Ran for a day today and was even introduced to her parents, which gave Li Nan a feeling of inexplicable satisfaction in his heart.
The relationship between the two seemed to be in some kind of almost ambiguous atmosphere, carrying out some kind of special chemical reaction.
Half an hour later, the BMW stopped at the entrance of the University of Finance and Economics.
“Li Nan, thanks a lot for today, I’ll go back first then!” Xu Jiao Ran said with a smile on her face.
“Well, remember to call me if you need anything, I’ll be at your beck and call!” Li Nan said in a joking tone.
“Haha, okay, bye!”
“Bye!”
After saying this, Xu Jiao Ran turned around and walked towards the school.
Looking at Xu Jiao Ran’s thin and beautiful figure, a light smile appeared on the corner of Li Nan’s mouth.
And just as Li Nan was about to turn around and get into his car.
“Jiao Ran, where have you been, do you know that I haven’t seen you all morning and already miss you so much!”
Hearing this voice, Li Nan’s heart couldn’t help but stutter, so he immediately looked over in the direction not far away.
At this moment, he saw a boy standing in front of Xu Jiao Ran.
This boy was more than one meter tall, handsome, stylishly dressed, and had the most popular hairstyle, so his appearance was very impressive.
At this moment, this boy was looking at Xu Jiao Ran with a smile on his face, and that smile seemed to carry a strong sense of doting.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Li Nan’s heart immediately felt a little oppressed and uncomfortable.
Listening to this boy’s tone just now, it seemed that his relationship with Xu Jiao Ran was very unusual.
Coupled with this boy’s outstanding appearance, the first thought that came to Li Nan’s mind was that this boy, could it be the boy that Xu Jiao Ran had said that she had always liked in her heart?
After all, the boy in front of her was handsome, with a sunny smile, and from the way he was dressed, she knew that his family must be good too.
Wasn’t such a boy the type of guy that girls liked the most?
Thinking of this, Li Nan’s heart was filled with mixed feelings, and he felt like he had a lump in his throat.
The emotions that had just fluttered in his heart earlier were now completely silenced in a flash.
Yes, it seemed he had almost forgotten that Xu Jiao Ran already had someone she liked, and that he, himself, should not treat her as an ordinary friend now?
Although he knew these truths, Li Nan’s heart still felt a sense of disappointment and loss.
At this time, when Xu Jiao Ran heard the words of the boy in front of her, she could not help but be stunned and did not react.
The boy in front of her was named Wu Heng, not only was he the talented gra*s of their music department, but he was also the president of the school’s music club, and was considered an absolute popular figure in their financial university.
Not only was Wu Heng handsome and a talented musician, but his family was also very well-off. With so many quality factors blended together, Wu Heng was very popular with the girls at school, and there was no telling how many girls had fallen in love with him, and there were even not a few who had taken the initiative to confess their love to him.
But none of this mattered, what mattered was that Xu Jiao Ran was not really close to Wu Heng in general, the two of them were just ordinary cla*smates at most, they hadn’t even spoken a few words.
Therefore, at this moment, Wu Heng suddenly said such words with a hint of intimacy to Xu Jiao Ran, making Xu Jiao Ran feel very surprised.
“That …… what do you want to see me about?” Despite the surprise in her heart, Xu Jiao Ran nevertheless maintained her politeness.
“What do you say, of course it’s good! Hurry up, come with me.” Wu Heng said, and stretched out his hand to touch towards Xu Jiao Ran’s head, wanting to do a head touch or something like that.
However, before his hand touched the other party, Xu Jiao Ran directly dodged backwards.
“Hahahaha, naughty, let’s go, no more jokes with you!” Wu Heng said, and then he directly led the way in front of him.
Xu Jiao Ran looked at Wu Heng in front of her and only felt confused.
However, she guessed that the good thing Wu Heng was talking about was most likely something related to the music club, so she didn’t think much about it and followed.
