The truck came rushing over with a loud rumbling sound, like a derailed train, charging wildly forward.
At that moment, the pedestrian crossing in front of Gu Ran was on green, and the pedestrians noticed the train and scattered in all directions, hurriedly making way.
A little girl, about five years old, suddenly fell down in the middle of the zebra crossing and did not get up.
She was probably terrified, because she just sat on the ground without moving, neither crying nor making a fuss.
"Xiaoyin!" The mother, who had already crossed the road, realized that her daughter had not followed. She looked at the oncoming truck and only had time to shout.
"Holy crap!" Su Xiaoqiang, who was in the Bentley, saw this scene through the car window and was both shocked and frightened.
She couldn't bear to watch what was about to happen.
No sooner said than done, just when everyone thought tragedy was about to strike, a blurry figure appeared, picked up the little girl sitting on the ground, and vanished in the blink of an eye.
Su Xiaoqiang also noticed that, in addition to the afterimage, there was also an arc of electricity flashing nearby.
The truck roared past, crossing the zebra crossing. The driver seemed to only then realize what was happening and slammed on the brakes, leaving a screeching sound of tires on the asphalt and two deep skid marks on the ground.
The truck crashed hard into the concrete pillars of the flower bed before finally coming to a stop.
"Xiao Yin!" The child's mother thought a tragedy was about to happen, but in the blink of an eye, her child appeared in front of her, safe and sound.
When the child saw his mother, he burst into tears.
"Remember to hold your child's hand when crossing the street in the future." The child's mother heard these words and turned around sharply, but she couldn't see anyone.
The people around were a little confused, but when they saw that the little girl was alright, they all started to applaud and cheer.
At this moment, Su Xiaoqiang noticed that Gu Ran's car door had been opened at some point.
He disappeared.
After a while, Gu Ran got back into the car, pretending that nothing had happened.
"Young Master Gu, you just got out of the car?" The driver in the driver's seat was taken aback and said, "Young Master, it's dangerous to get out of the car in a place like this. You can't just get out!"
"Okay, I understand. I'm sorry, it won't happen again," Gu Ran said with a smile.
Su Xiaoqiang knew what her boyfriend had just done, and said to the driver, "Drive home."
"Yes, ma'am."
Although the two are still in a cold war, the boyfriend just "finished his business and left without a trace," which is really cool!
Su Xiaoqiang became increasingly curious about his superpowers.
……
It's approaching evening.
The driver drove the Bentley into the villa area and stopped in front of Su Xiaoqiang's house.
Her villa has a large garden in front of the entrance, which is maintained by a professional gardener. Now it is summer, and the blue hydrangeas are blooming under the scorching sun, creating a beautiful display of flowers.
To the side of the entrance, there is a grape trellis, covered with grapevines, lush and verdant.
Mrs. Su was sitting in a wicker chair under the grape trellis, drinking orange soda and enjoying the cool air while lost in thought.
She is Caucasian with naturally fair skin. Although she is older, she has maintained her figure very well and has not lost her shape.
Her facial skin has aged naturally, but she still retains her charm; her features are three-dimensional and clear, and she still looks very radiant.
Seeing a car parked in front of her house, Su's mother slowly turned her gaze and saw her child appear before her.
"Aunt!"
"Oh, my good child!" Mother Su stepped forward, opened her arms, and hugged Gu Ran.
Gu Ran smiled and stepped forward, giving Su's mother a very smug cheek kiss.
This cheek-kissing gesture was specifically learned from Caesar. Although the Italian nobleman was a bit immature, his Western etiquette was indeed the best in the school.
"Oh, it's been almost a year since I last saw you. You've become so much more gentlemanly and elegant." Mrs. Su gently patted Gu Ran's cheek, just like she would her own son.
He didn't even look at his own daughter.
Su Xiaoqiang, who was behind them, was stunned.
Seriously, am I the biological child?
Gu Ran gave Su's mother a brief hug, then pouted and said aggrievedly, "It's so good to see you. I have so much to say to you."
As he spoke, he pretended to sob for a moment.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Come in and tell me." Su's mother pulled Gu Ran to the grape trellis in the yard.
Gu Ran tattled to Su's mother, "I just returned to China from America, and I've been getting bullied these past few days."
"Whose temper are you putting up with?"
"Who else could it be!" Gu Ran said, glancing at Su Xiaoqiang standing to the side.
Su's mother glanced at her daughter and gently asked Gu Ran, "How did she make you suffer? Tell me."
Then Gu Ran recounted how Su Xiaoqiang had picked on him.
The vegetables were overcooked, the beef was overcooked, the rice was too mushy due to too much water, and the boiled water was too cold…
"She's just being unreasonable and willful. When I ask her why she's angry, she won't say. She just keeps causing me trouble and is giving me the silent treatment, making me sleep on the sofa. I... I'm so wronged, waaaaaah..."
Gu Ran rested his forehead on his future mother-in-law's shoulder and began to fake cry.
"Xiaoqiang, is what Gu Ran said true?" Knowing her daughter's temper, Su's mother asked Su Xiaoqiang, "Why are you being temperamental again?"
“I…” Su Xiaoqiang stood aside, completely bewildered by the jerk’s actions.
Good heavens, they actually came to complain!
Are you being so childish? Do you think kids are arguing and then running to their parents to complain when they can't win an argument?
Su Xiaoqiang was so angry she laughed.
This jerk has a good grasp of history; he knows that during the Cold War, it was necessary to court third-party powers as allies!
Gu Ran continued to pout and complain to Su's mother. He had a delicate appearance, and when he acted coquettishly, he was just like a big boy.
He wasn't that old to begin with; he was actually only nineteen.
So Su's mother treated him like a child, gently patting his head:
"Alright, alright, I'll talk to her nicely. Come on, you must be tired after a long day of traveling. Let's sit down in the living room and talk it over. I'll stand up for you!"
Su Xiaoqiang watched her boyfriend and her mother walk into the living room side by side, and she followed behind, her teeth itching with anger.
In the living room, Su's father was reading the newspaper. As soon as Gu Ran saw him, she went up and hugged him again, crying and repeating what she had just said.
Mr. Su was completely bewildered.
“I gave her all the money I earned, and I even did her laundry and cooked for her. I never expected that she would still be dissatisfied. She’s always finding fault and being unreasonable. Waaaaah, you have to stand up for me, Dad!”
Su Xiaoqiang was dumbfounded. "Hey, where's your face? Where's your dignity? You're even calling me 'Dad' now!"
Mr. Su was not overwhelmed by his future son-in-law's address of "Dad".
He looked at his daughter: "Xiaoqiang, tell me, why are you angry with him?"
"Yeah, tell me, and I won't think you're being unreasonable." Gu Ran looked at her with a wronged expression.
Su's mother also looked at her daughter, wanting to hear her explanation.
Chapter 241 Men are really childish
"I..." Su Xiaoqiang hesitated for a long time, not knowing how to start the conversation.
What nonsense are you talking about? Saying that your boyfriend hugs you too tightly when he sleeps, making you uncomfortable and preventing you from sleeping well the night before your exam?
Can such intimate secrets be shared?
It was too shameful; she couldn't bring herself to tell her parents.
"Look, she can't come up with any reason, so she's just deliberately picking a fight with me!" Gu Ran continued to complain and cry to the two elders, just like Qin Xianglian pleading her case to Bao Zheng, crying and accusing Chen Shimei of being unfaithful.
"Xiaoqiang, this is where you're wrong." Seeing this, Su's father couldn't very well side with his daughter. "Men work so hard outside to earn money, how can you be so unreasonable?"
"..." Su Xiaoqiang was speechless. Oh no, I've really become an unreasonable person!
She glared at Gu Ran with annoyance, and Gu Ran turned around and made a face at her where the two elders couldn't see.
"You childish brat!" Su Xiaoqiang thought to himself with a laugh.
Su's parents scolded Su Xiaoqiang for a while, but Su Xiaoqiang didn't talk back and pretended not to hear them, while she poured herself a drink of water.
When she was a child, if she did something wrong at school, her homeroom teacher would visit her home to complain, and that's what her parents said about her.
So many years have passed, and now it's my own boyfriend coming to complain. Who can I turn to for justice?
Gu Ran watched with amusement. He noticed that Su's father's attitude towards him had improved considerably, and he was now treating him like a prospective son-in-law.
"Why is Dad so good to me? He used to treat me like a thief, afraid I'd sleep with you." Gu Ran secretly sent a text message to Su Xiaoqiang.
Su Xiaoqiang took out her phone and glanced at it. Goodness, you're complaining to me while chatting about everyday things. You really can't neglect either one thing!
"It's all thanks to me. I've been putting in a good word for you, and you, as soon as you get home, start complaining about me. You jerk!"
It turned out that during the winter vacation, Su's parents were unaware of the couple's argument. However, the conservative Su's father was quite displeased that Gu Ran hadn't come back to celebrate the New Year with them.
Although the two were arguing, Su Xiaoqiang still wanted to save face for her boyfriend.
To support her boyfriend, she showed him her stock account, bankbook, property certificate, and Xiaomi stock certificate, explaining how Gu Ran was making a lot of money outside.
Mr. Su stared in disbelief at the list of assets, which was filled with his daughter's name.
At first, he thought these things were fake, made by his daughter to fool them, but after checking through connections, he found that they were all real.
He only gives his daughter a limited allowance each month, which is about 100,000 yuan in credit card spending. No matter how much he falsifies it, his daughter can't possibly conjure up tens of millions of dollars in assets out of thin air, right?
Looking at it this way, Gu Ran is really amazing.
First of all, their earning power is impressive.
Regardless of where the money came from, the numbers are there, clear and unambiguous.
Mr. Su is impeccable in this regard.
Secondly, Gu Ran's willingness to give all his money to Su Xiaoqiang demonstrates an impressive level of unconditional trust.
