Chapter 1507 - 1505: All Just Kids
He had just gotten home and sat down when his phone chimed.
Fan Xinglan opened it and almost thought his eyes were playing tricks on him—it was a message from Jiang Lihua!
Seeing that avatar and that note, he perked up instantly; all his worries vanished.
He sprang up from the sofa, grabbed his car keys, and headed out.
Father Fan hadn’t even exchanged a single word with him yet; seeing him run out, he hurriedly shouted, "Where are you going? I already told you your sister isn’t home tonight—what’s so hard about staying here for a bit?"
Fan Xinglan tossed back over his shoulder without even turning his head, "I’m going to chase down a daughter-in-law for you."
Father Fan: "???"
Where did this daughter-in-law come from? Don’t think he doesn’t know how long this kid’s been single!
He’s practically started to suspect nobody wants him.
Yun Qiluo forgot all about that thing as soon as she finished talking; she went back to her room, grabbed her laptop, and worked on some homework assigned by school.
Then when she went downstairs, she realized Jiang Lihua was gone.
A small gray suitcase had appeared on the floor.
"Where’s Hua Hua? Where did this suitcase come from?"
Wang Ma quickly smiled and said, "Young Master Fan just came by. Miss Jiang went with him over to the lab."
Yun Qiluo: "!"
She knew it—Fan Xinglan turned into a little simp the moment he was in front of Hua Hua!
She immediately dropped what she was holding and ran off toward the lab to look for him.
At first, when Fan Xinglan saw her, he was so embarrassed he didn’t know where to put his hands and feet, his whole face filled with guilt.
"Little Sister-in-law, I just came to help Sister Li Hua, you..."
"The minute you show up you go straight to Hua Hua," Yun Qiluo snorted coldly, then added, "Forget it. Once you’re done here you’re coming with me to feed Big Flower and Erhua, and you are not allowed to bail on me!"
She tossed out that line and walked off.
Fan Xinglan blanked for a second, then watched Yun Qiluo’s departing figure; after quite a while, he suddenly broke into a grin.
Little Sister-in-law didn’t blame him; she still treated him like a friend.
She hadn’t mentioned his sister’s situation even once.
In her eyes, he was still that same Fan Xinglan.
Jiang Lihua glanced at him from the side and couldn’t help shaking her head with a smile.
They’re all kids, just like Luo Luo.
She’d originally thought this bunch of young masters would be hard to get along with, but over this period she’d realized they were all just a bunch of kids. No wonder Luo Luo could play so well with them.
If Fan Xinglan knew what Jiang Lihua was thinking right now... his mood probably wouldn’t be quite so wonderful.
Who the hell wants to be a kid!
After that, Fan Xinglan didn’t go out of his way to avoid Yun Qiluo anymore.
A week had passed since Song Hanyi’s birthday banquet. The Song Family’s courtyard house, along with Yan Yan’s family home, had received a flood of gifts from all sides.
All of them were sent for the little princess of the Song Family.
It was a way of showing goodwill and trying to curry favor.
And all kinds of people had started approaching Yan Yan as well, constantly inviting him out for meals, meetings, and rounds of golf.
They were all big shots from the political world and the like, people with real power and influence, and since they were all elders, Yan Yan couldn’t very well refuse; he took Yun Qiluo along for a few meals.
Those big shots had already been very curious about Yan Yan, and had long wanted to see for themselves what kind of person this legendary Fifth Young Master Yan—who supposedly controlled Z Country’s economic lifeline at such a young age—really was.
But given the differences in their positions and circles, any meeting would inevitably attract gossip, so they’d held back. Now that they’d found an opportunity, of course they had to make proper contact.
Apart from socializing, Yan Yan was also continuing to work with Shi Yunshen and the others to investigate the video that had surfaced on the night of the birthday banquet.
They still hadn’t tracked down whoever posted the video.
The person was hiding extremely well, like they’d already known from the start that they were bound to be investigated.
