Chapter 46 Serve Me
Chen Yang looked at Liu Ran and asked, "What did you say, President Wang wants to go shopping with you? Which President Wang, is it Wang Aili?"
Liu Ran stared at Chen Yang strangely and said, "Yes, it's President Wang. She gave us this contract, and we should respect her. I went."
"No need to go!" Chen Yang shook his head and stopped Liu Ran. "We don't owe her anything. If you don't want to go, you don't have to."
Liu Ran was even stranger. She glanced at Chen Yang and said, "Chen Yang, are you alright? It's just shopping. Besides, we shouldn't take the other party's kindness for granted. Don't worry about me, I'm going."
Liu Ran waved her hand, smiled gently, and turned to leave.
Chen Yang wanted to say something more, but a hint of reproach appeared in Liu Ran's eyes.
Chen Yang had to give up.
Seeing Chen Yang's wronged look, Liu Ran walked over, hugged him, and said, "Chen Yang, I don't know why you're reacting so strongly, but it's normal for women to go shopping. I think President Wang might want to understand our Tianliu Department Store better. Anyway, I'll be careful."
Liu Ran waved her hand and left home.
She arrived at the appointed location.
Wang Aili was already waiting.
Wang Aili nodded at Liu Ran and said condescendingly, "I came in a hurry and didn't bring any changes of clothes, so I need to buy some daily necessities. You come with me."
"Yes, President Wang."
Liu Ran naturally adopted a humble posture.
The two women entered Qingzhou City's most luxurious pedestrian street, which housed well-known shopping centers like Baisheng and Wangfujing, where prices were also considerable.
Wang Aili stopped in front of a Chanel handbag store, picked out a bag, and then frowned, saying, "Oh dear, I don't think I brought my card. What should I do?"
Liu Ran hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, then took out her bank card.
This card contained eighty thousand yuan, which was the blood and sweat money returned to her when Bailang Financial Company went bankrupt.
The remaining fifty thousand yuan was what Chen Yang had demanded back from Liu Xin during their divorce.
These fifty-eight thousand yuan were all her savings.
Looking at the bag, its price was over two hundred and ten thousand yuan, with no discount.
Liu Ran's heart ached.
However, she couldn't refuse and paid with a heavy heart.
Next, Wang Aili headed towards clothing and shoe stores again.
She treated Liu Ran as if she were a subordinate to swipe her card, acting haughtily all the way. She bought fifty thousand yuan worth of items, all paid for by Liu Ran.
Liu Ran, carrying large shopping bags, followed Wang Aili.
After returning to the hotel.
Wang Aili sighed with relief and said to Liu Ran, "Oh, I haven't washed my clothes yet. Since they are personal items, I can't let the hotel staff wash them. My relatives are here, and I can't touch water. Xiao Liu, can you wash my underwear for me?"
"Wh... what?" Liu Ran was stunned.
Wang Aili's brows suddenly furrowed. She snorted coldly and looked at Liu Ran, saying, "What? You're unwilling? Fine, you can go back. I'll find someone else to wash them!"
Liu Ran was startled and quickly said to Wang Aili, "President Wang, President Wang, please don't be angry! I... I... I'll wash them for you! I'll go wash them now!"
Wang Aili snorted, sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, and said, "That's more like it. Hurry up and wash them. Also, help me get a basin of foot-washing water, add milk and salt to it. I need to take care of my body."
Liu Ran, blushing, nodded in agreement.
For tomorrow's contract, she could only agree, and she had to agree!
All the hardships she endured now were for a better future for their small family!
Liu Ran silently went to fetch water and serve Wang Aili.
By the time Liu Ran returned home, it was past ten o'clock at night.
She was exhausted and fell asleep quickly after getting into bed.
The next day.
Chen Yang was planting medicinal herbs in the yard with a hoe.
Although the house was dilapidated, it had land and a yard, which could be utilized.
Liu Ran waited anxiously for a phone call.
Chen Yang smiled at Liu Ran and said, "Xiao Ran, don't worry. That order is yours, and no one can take it away."
Liu Ran hesitated for a moment and nodded.
She didn't say anything more.
At noon.
Chen Yang's phone suddenly rang.
He picked up the phone, and Liu Xin's triumphant laughter came from the other end.
Liu Xin laughed and said to Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, when are you coming to the old house? I have good news to announce."
"Good news?" Chen Yang frowned slightly. "What do you want to say? Hurry up and say it. I don't have the patience to play guessing games with you."
Liu Xin laughed even harder. She sneered, "You good-for-nothing really grew some temper. Oh, I see. You must think your Liu Ran can make a comeback, right? She can become the director of the department store, right? Hahaha, you two really dream too big!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang felt a sudden bad premonition.
Liu Xin continued to laugh heartily, "Perhaps your good wife doesn't know yet? She has already lost out! Hahaha, she went shopping with Wang Aili yesterday, paid for things, and acted like a servant. Oh, by the way, I heard she even washed Wang Aili's underwear and served her foot-washing water. Hahaha, she did everything a servant would do, but it was all in vain. I'm dying of laughter!"
Chen Yang's heart was filled with burning rage!
He felt blood surging within him, and his fists clenched with a cracking sound.
Liu Xin continued triumphantly, "The two of you, mere trash, dare to dream of a comeback and want to secure this contract? Look in the mirror before you speak! You're just from the bottom, how can you understand what we, the upper class, think? Wang Aili was just playing with you yesterday. Did you really think she would take a liking to your medical skills? Would she be deceived by you?! Hahahaha!"
After speaking, Liu Xin laughed wantonly and hung up the phone.
Just then.
A motorcycle sound was heard from the entrance.
Then, an Ele.me delivery person, holding several black plastic bags, walked in.
The delivery person looked at the address and asked, "Is this Liu Ran's home?"
Liu Ran stood up and asked, "What is it?"
The delivery person said to Liu Ran, "Oh, President Wang Aili asked me to deliver some things."
"Ah? Really?" Liu Ran said excitedly, "What did President Wang ask you to deliver to me?"
The delivery person casually placed the plastic bags on the ground and said, "President Wang said to return these things to you. The contract has already been given to Liu Xin, so she can't accept these bags. They are all for you. Also, don't even think about the contract anymore. She was very dissatisfied with your performance yesterday!"
After speaking, the delivery person strode away.
The bags were scattered, and inside them were all the luxury goods that Liu Ran had spent all her savings on yesterday!
Seeing this, Liu Ran's head spun.
She had spent over five hundred thousand yuan, and now it was being thrown here like trash.
And the contract was nowhere to be found!
Liu Ran swayed and fell to the ground...
