Hearing the reproach in Lan Xiu’s words, Ah Li paused for a moment and did not dare to make a sound.
Lan Xiu took a deep breath and put out half of his cigarette in the ashtray at the side. He held the handrail in front of him with both hands and looked down at the traffic below. After a long while, he said calmly, “There’s no need for you to tell her about these things.”
“President Lan, Miss Dongfang is also one of the shareholders of the company. She has invested a lot of effort in this project. Theoretically, she should be informed, even if…” Ah Li explained.
“I understand what your intentions are.”
Only then did Lan Xiu turn to look at Ah Li with a gloomy expression. “We can only be friends. She had nothing to do with this matter anyway. She has too many things to worry about. I can still bear this small setback.”
“But, President Lan, seeing that the partner’s side…”
“I have my own countermeasures.”
Lan Xiu raised his hand and rubbed the space between his brows. Things had not been going well recently, and he was even considering whether he should go up the mountain to have some peace, and burn some fragrant incense to get rid of his bad luck.
“Miss Dongfang said that if there is any situation here, we need to inform her. President Lan, it’s very tiring for you to bear it alone. I can’t bear it either.” Ah Li said worriedly.
“If this matter was in the past, it would be fine. But now, it’s not suitable.”
Lan Xiu blinked and retracted his gaze, “By doing this, I can feel a little better in my heart. It’s also good for everyone. I’ve already planned to move my business overseas. This time, the partner chose Singapore because they have such a plan in mind.”
“President Lan! How did you…”
Ah Li looked at Lan Xiu in disbelief. “Our roots are all here, President Lan, if we move there, how are we…”
“I’ve already gotten someone to try out a new subsidiary over there. Over there, my elder brother Lan Qi left behind a large manor. I quite like it there. If the operations of the new subsidiary is good, the headquarters can move over directly. Over here, it can be run as a subsidiary. If you like it here, you can stay here and be the regional manager. After all, your family is over here.”
Lan Xiu had been struggling with this plan for a long time.
It was not that he was fixated on anything. It was just that it was better to be not too far yet not too close to her. At the very least, seeing her once in a long while would give him the joy of reunion after a long separation. It was better than the current stalemate.
He had long understood that he, Lan Xiu, could only let go of her, Dongfang Liuyun.
She was like the stars in the sky, unreachable to him, an ordinary Lan Xiu.
It was not that he, Lan Xiu, did not have the courage to pursue her, but it was because he was afraid that he, Lan Xiu, did not qualify to pursue something that was too beautiful.
Perhaps Dongfang Liuyun’s happiness had never been something that he, Lan Xiu, could give.
“No, President Lan, wherever you are, Ah Li will be there. I just want to be by President Lan’s side.”
Ah Li hurriedly replied anxiously, “You’ll be sad being so far away. President Lan… if you really can’t let go of Miss Dongfang, why don’t you explain it to her clearly and try your best to fight for her? When Master Lan Qi passed away, he asked Miss Dongfang to take good care of you. If it’s because of Master Lan Qi, I think Miss Dongfang might agree…”
“Don’t have such thoughts. I love her more than anything. Her happiness is not something I can give. Keeping such a distance, perhaps I can retain those beautiful memories. Those are enough for me to reminisce about for a lifetime.”
Lan Xiu said calmly and took a deep breath. “Alright, I’ve already told you the purpose. I can only succeed in this partnership, I cannot fail. Go and pass a message to the Leng family. Tell them that I’m free on Saturday afternoon.”
“President Lan, are you really willing to marry that Miss Leng? Her life is very tough. Of the two fiancés, one died in a car accident and the other almost… then she hurriedly broke off the engagement. President Lan, you can’t…”
“What do you mean tough? Who has a tougher life than me? I don’t have parents anymore. Even my last relative, my brother has left me. Compared to her, am I not tougher?” Lan Xiu said disapprovingly.
“But, President Lan, Miss Leng Xinran… is an undertaker… this… this is not very good. She has a lot of negative energy. President Lan, I’m worried…”
“Besides being an amateur undertaker, she is also a tomb keeper. You don’t have to tell me this, I understand.” Lan Xiu continued.
“I went to investigate before. Leng Xinran, the eldest daughter of the Leng family. She is 28 years old and indifferent. She doesn’t speak much and comes and goes like a ghost. Her mother divorced her father a long time ago. Her father’s current wife is his former secretary, a typical mistress. The mistress married into the Leng family and gave birth to a son. However, he died prematurely 15 years ago. Now, Leng Xinran is the only daughter in the Leng family…”
Ah Li naturally investigated all the information about Leng Xinran and chose the key points to explain to Lan Xiu.
“Leng Xinran is very withdrawn. By the way, I heard that she had a younger sister who suffered from leukemia and couldn’t be saved. She was only 16 years old when she died… Fortune-tellers say that this Miss Leng is too stubborn. She is a jinx to her parents and siblings. She is a very unlucky person…”
“However, Elder Master Leng loves this Miss Leng very much. He has already made a will and named her as the successor of the Leng family. Although the Leng family is not as good as the Lan family on the surface, we are still on par with them. Especially when it comes to the information network industry, I’m afraid that the Lan family is not as good as them.”
“President Lan, I don’t think Miss Leng is suitable for you, especially with her personality. She’s too withdrawn. She also owns a winery on Nanshan. I heard that it’s her only hobby, brewing wine, making wine…”
…
“Stop talking. I’ve already decided to meet Leng Xinran. You can make the arrangements for Saturday afternoon.”
Lan Xiu interrupted Ah Li before he could finish.
…
Dongfang Liuyun swore that she did not mean to eavesdrop.
Just as she walked to the door, she vaguely heard someone talking about her from inside, so she stopped walking. Unexpectedly, she heard most of their conversation.
After it was quiet for a while, she raised her hand and knocked on the door.
Hearing the knocking, Lan Xiu and Ah Li stopped and looked at the door.
“Miss Dongfang!”
Ah Li cried out in surprise.
Dongfang Liuyun nodded and walked in.
“Why are you here?”
A gentle smile appeared on Lan Xiu’s handsome face as he walked towards her.
“You probably know why I’m here?”
Dongfang Liuyun glanced at him and sat down on the sofa.
