Luan Ran x Xi Shangchen
Luan Ran was completely confused that day about Xi Shangchen wanting to marry her. Later, Luan Yan called her and told her that Lu Sheng proposed to her on the island. Luan Ran finally realized what was wrong.
They were engaged from the beginning, then lived together, started to cohabit illegally, went to bed, and now they are getting married. They completely skipped the steps that normal couples should have, such as getting to know each other, pursuing, falling in love, dating, proposing, etc. The order of her and Xi Shangchen was messed up.
After the Su Lianqing hotel incident, Luan Ran moved to Shi Shangchen's house and postponed it again. In fact, they even skipped the steps of getting married. They were more like a newlywed couple, entering the stage of living together in advance, and they really didn't look like a couple who just happened to get together.
Based on the principle of being honest in getting along, Luan Ran told Xi Shangchen what she was thinking.
It was Xi Shangchen who was not thoughtful. He only wanted to get married early and even forgot about proposing. He had no concept of love and was afraid of trouble and wasting time. But if it was what Luan Ran wanted, he could try and learn something he didn't know.
Xi Shangchen wanted to take her on a date and formally propose to her.
But Luan Ran still felt that this was very strange. In the final analysis, it was because she hadn't thought clearly whether she wanted to get married or not.
In the afternoon, the two changed their clothes and went downstairs.
When they got out of the elevator, Luan Ran asked this question: "If I wasn't the daughter of the Luan family, would you still want to marry me?"
Xi Shangchen didn't hesitate and immediately answered: "Not before, but now."
It is undeniable that he and Luan Ran started as a business relationship. He came for profit, and Luan Ran was the same. No one was interested in the other person, but people would change. Now Xi Shangchen didn't care about Luan Ran's family background. As long as it was her, it was enough. It didn't matter whether there was profit or not.
Luan Ran hadn't thought it through yet. She had never seen what a normal couple was like. She didn't even know what a normal relationship was. It was right to like Xi Shangchen, but liking someone and getting married were two different things. Luan Ran would not allow herself to get married and have children without knowing the truth, and then blame others for the mistakes and repeat Luan Suqing's mistakes.
She liked him now, but what about the future? Ten or twenty years didn't mean that they could get along smoothly. The more she wanted to have a good future with Xi Shangchen, the more cautious Luan Ran would be. She didn't want to become enemies with Xi Shangchen one day.
During these few steps, Luan Ran thought a lot. She turned her head to look at Xi Shangchen and said seriously, "Actually... I haven't decided whether to get married or not. How about like my sister? Let's stick to it for three years first. If the feelings are still the same, we can talk about getting married."
Xi Shangchen raised his eyes suddenly, twisted his thick eyebrows and said, "Don't you want to marry me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone rang suddenly.
An unfamiliar number called Luan Ran's mobile phone. Luan Ran didn't know what to say, so she answered the phone first. After answering the phone, she was stunned for a moment and frowned, saying, "Su Lianqing? Are you looking for me?"
When Xi Shangchen heard the name, his dark face became even uglier.
...
Luan Ran didn't expect Su Lianqing to come to her.
But she still gave him the address and made an appointment at an afternoon tea shop near the apartment.
Xi Shangchen looked at Su Lianqing with a scrutinizing look. The boy was not tall, with fair skin and delicate eyebrows and eyes, but his facial features had not yet grown. The male features on his outline were not obvious enough, and he looked very childish.
Su Lianqing's eyes were red, and he bowed to Luan Ran and said apologetically, "Sister, I'm sorry..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Xi Shangchen blocked Luan Ran behind him.
Not only a sense of crisis, but also anger. Anyway, Xi Shangchen could not forgive someone who had used Luan Ran. Her kindness and compassion must not be trampled on by others.
Xi Shangchen's marriage proposal had just fallen through and his marriage was rejected. He was in a bad mood, and Su Lianqing ran into him again. He frowned and narrowed his eyes slightly. There was a sharp and cold light in his eyes, which was completely different from his gentle appearance.
He said in a cold voice: "What is your purpose? Just tell me." Luan Ran was calmer. she pulled Xi Shangchen back, stood up and said, "Are you looking for me for something?"
Su Lianqing stared at Luan Ran eagerly. He didn't expect Luan Ran to be willing to talk to him. He said happily: "I want to apologize to my sister. I'm really sorry. I hurt you. I was wrong. I am willing to come forward to clarify!"
Su Lianqing has been living in guilt and struggle these two days. Luan Ran is a stranger, but she treats him better than many people. His behavior is undoubtedly a stab in the back of Luan Ran. Seeing the words that Luan Ran was scolded with, he felt bad. She is so good, how could she be slandered?
"Do you need my help?" Luan Ran knew what he wanted to say. What capital did he have? Going against his own company would cost him a price. It was not easy for him to come out and clarify.
Luan Ran looked around. There were many places outside the window where someone could take secret photos. If she wanted to talk about these things, it was not safe here after all. She said, "Let's go back to the apartment and talk."
Luan Ran was not used and could remain calm and act as if nothing had happened, but she couldn't shout and kill a little boy and retaliate? Force him to have nowhere to go? Or make him die? Su Lianqing was just a pawn. She didn't have so much time and energy to spend on Su Lianqing. Letting him clarify and explain things clearly was indeed the fastest solution.
Xi Shangchen's apartment was nearby. After returning, Su Lianqing told them about the general situation.
Su Lianqing's family was average, and the family relationship was complicated. His parents had their own families. It was difficult for him to get living expenses every month. His academic performance was not very good. He dropped out of school early and went out to work. Because he had a good-looking appearance, he was discovered by a scout.
The company offered very good conditions. He thought he could have a future and become famous, so he signed a ten-year contract. But later he found out that it was all a game of words, and the teachers they hired were also half-baked.
Not only him, but many others were not signed by the company to cultivate excellent artists, but because they were young and wanted to exploit their value, which included a lot of things. They
would use brainwashing, intimidation, coercion and inducement to make them obedient. If they didn't want to obey, they could also pay compensation for the termination of the contract, as long as they could afford it. If these teenagers didn't have a family background to support them and give them enough confidence, it would be easy for the company to control them.
Some might be able to make it. Su Lianqing was the one who was quite lucky. Because of his face, he attracted some fans and had a fan base, but his salary and treatment were only slightly better than others.
But he is not popular enough, does not have enough fans, does not have great commercial value, and does not even have much talent. Those first-line stars who have a falling out with the company will have to pay a heavy price, let alone him. He is not yet at the stage where he can start his own business, so he still has no say. He has to do whatever the company wants him to do. In this matter, he is a tool.
In addition to Chao Jie, Yi Xin's boss is another man. That man is a direct relative of another video website. This website is Guang Hao's rival. The interest chain behind it is very wide and the investment is huge, but it was seized by a sudden emergence. The market was occupied by Guang Hao. It invested so much money, but in the end it was not as good as Guang Hao. It happened that Luan Ran was involved with Yi Xin, so he did this.
In fact, his age is not seventeen or eighteen, but nineteen. In this industry, young people are not popular. The company saw that he looked young, so they changed his age and made a fuss about the "underage" point.
The company promised to give him some resources and benefits. If he refused, the company would naturally find a way to deal with him. He was controlled by others, so of course he would choose what was most beneficial to him, so he cooperated throughout the process. Later, the company was unwilling to fulfill its promise.
He had nowhere else to go and felt too guilty towards Luan Ran, so he came to her.
