C9 Embarrassed Friend

Anger filled Su Ranran's heart, but she did not leave. She hadn't forgotten that she was still in charge of the end of the banquet.

She could only go to the back kitchen and ask for a cup of sobering soup. After drinking it and tidying it up, she had to come out to work with a forced smile on her face again.

It had to be said that the Creation was truly rich and imposing. Every dish and drink was made with the utmost delicacy.

Su Ranran was smart this time, and only kept watch from the kitchen. As for the rest, Kelly, her assistant, was told to watch from the front of the banquet hall.

Kelly was there as well and saw Shen Qi making things difficult for Su Ranran. However, she didn't dare to stand out and speak up for Su Ranran. At this moment, she couldn't help but feel guilty.

Looking at Su Ranran's pale face, Kelly looked at her carefully, "Ms Ranran, are you alright? Why don't you go back first? "

Su Ranran smiled and accepted Kelly's offer. After all, she was just a young girl. It would be too difficult for her to stand up for him.

"There will be a lot of things that I need to do in the future. You go to the party and keep an eye on them. Don't let them get the order of dessert wrong. "

"Alright, then I'll be going." Kelly didn't feel reassured at all. She turned around and walked away, taking three steps at a time.

Just as Su Ranran was about to turn around, she saw a jewel-like woman walking towards her. It was Han Qingrou.

Han Qingrou was not looking too good. When she saw Su Ranran, she smiled. "Sofia."

"What's the matter?" Su Ranran's attitude was neither cold nor hot.

She hadn't seen Han Qingrou in five years, and the first time they met, she was with her ex-boyfriend. When Su Ranran saw Han Qingrou now, she couldn't help but feel awkward.

"Ranran, I've not seen you in so many years. I really miss you."

"But back then, you left without saying a word to me." Su Ranran's face turned even colder as she recalled what had happened that year.

Looking at Su Ranran's face, Han Qingrou's eyes suddenly reddened. Guiltily, she took Su Ranran's hand and said, "Sofia, are you angry with me? Many things have happened over the years, and I don't know how to explain them to you. "

"…" Han Qingrou was originally a beautiful girl, so when she used such a pitiful tone to speak, Su Ranran could not hold it in any longer.

Su Ranran sighed softly as she looked at the waiters coming and going. "This is not a good place to talk," she said.

Han Qingrou, who had a noble aura and beautiful appearance, was originally very abrupt as she stood there. Furthermore, she was looking at Su Ranran with tears in her eyes. Anyone who didn't know what was going on would think that Su Ranran was bullying her.

"Then let's find a place to sit." Immediately, Han Qingrou's tears turned into a smile. Her tears flowed faster than the afterimage. She held Su Ranran's hand, ignoring her objections, and pulled her directly to a small balcony.

"Ranran, years ago, when I graduated from university, I suddenly received an opportunity to study abroad. I really don't know how to tell you that I'm going to leave you at this time. "

Han Qingrou was the first to speak, her tone filled with guilt and sincerity, "So … "I left without saying goodbye. Actually, thinking about it now really makes me feel very sorry for you."

"Then you don't even want to say goodbye to me?" Hearing Han Qingrou's words, although Su Ranran still felt awkward, she still believed her words somewhat.

She turned her head to look at the balcony. It was very quiet here, and she could still see the beautiful outdoor garden outside. The faint breeze carried with it the scent of the scented jade, causing one to feel relaxed and happy.

"Ranran, do you remember that the school used to be filled with evening joss sticks? We always smell it when we walk on the road after our evening self-study. "

To avoid answering Su Ranran's question, Han Qingrou used a reminiscent tone and immediately brought up Su Ranran's memories.

"Yeah, we used to go together." Su Ranran's eyes narrowed slightly, as if she had returned to the past.

In university, Han Qingrou was always pushed aside by others. After Su Ranran stuck her head out for her a few times, Han Qingrou became attached to Su Ranran.

Su Ranran wasn't used to it at first, but Han Qingrou held a seat for her every day, even giving her small, handmade snacks from time to time. Girls at this age were easy to make friends with, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them became best friends.

"Ranran, you remember." Han Qingrou looked at Su Ranran emotionally and said, "Sofia, I thought you forgot about me. Are you still angry at me for what happened to the child … "

"Stop it!" Hearing Han Qingrou say the word "child," Su Ranran's expression suddenly changed. The smile she had just had disappeared without a trace.

"Sorry, sorry …" Han Qingrou realized she had said the wrong thing, and she covered her mouth, apologizing to Su Ranran. "It's been five years," she said. "Sofia, I didn't expect you to be so upset."

"Some things can't just be forgotten." Su Ranran lowered her eyes. The night breeze quietly caressed her face, but it couldn't dissipate the sadness in her eyes.

Han Qingrou looked at her face and said as if she was being very careful, "Then …" You still can't forget about the thing between you and Shen Qi? "

Su Ranran's body froze and her eyes were in a mess. She seemed to have thought of something as her face turned red and pale-white. That bastard Shen Qi... She thought she had nothing to do with him.

However, he had actually admitted it himself today. The person on the cruise was actually him!

What did he mean?

"Did Shen Huanran change his name? Why did he become Shen Qi? Why are you with him now? " Su Ranran finally asked the question she had been wondering about.

He had to admit that no matter how much of a bastard Shen Qi was, everything he did still made Su Ranran curious.

"I met him abroad." Han Qingrou looked at Su Ranran's changing expression and thought for a while. "Three years ago, Shen Qi's company was recruiting an assistant, so I applied for the position."

"Maybe he knows his place. I thought that based on my education, I wouldn't be able to get one. " Han Qingrou brushed her hair shyly as she spoke. The bashfulness and sweetness on her face was obvious to anyone who looked at her.

"Then why did he change his name?" Su Ranran asked. Otherwise, she would have recognized Shen Huanran the moment she heard his name. She wouldn't have come here to be humiliated even if she were to die.

"Shen Huanran is his alias." Han Qingrou blurted out, "That year, Shen Qi's parents divorced, so he went to live with them and changed his name to Shen Huanran."

Su Ranran looked at Han Qingrou in confusion and asked, "Then do you know why Shen Qi left without saying goodbye all those years ago?"

Han Qingrou's face stiffened, then she shook her head and said helplessly, "I don't know either. "But …"

She revealed a guilty and awkward expression as she said half-heartedly, "Ranran, actually Shen Qi and I have already …"

"I see. "You don't need to explain to me, I have nothing to do with Shen Qi anymore." Not only did she not get the answer from Han Qingrou, it actually verified her relationship with Shen Qi.

Su Ranran's expression was even more indifferent than Han Qingrou had expected. She gently stood up, smoothed out the wrinkles on her skirt, and said with a calm and cool tone.

"I have to get back to work."
