Chapter 153 - The Great Swindler

Chapter 153: Chapter 164 The Great Swindler"No... no need, I’m sorry, it’s my fault that I brought you trouble, I’ll leave now." After speaking, An Ran returned to the bedroom, quickly stuffed her things into her backpack, and rushed out of the house as if fleeing.

Downstairs, An Ran’s eyes turned red, she cursed Mu Xingfeng ten thousand times in her heart.

She hated mistresses the most in her life, and she almost became someone’s mistress. Lin Ruonan was so beautiful and kind, but she almost hurt her.

Although Lin Ruonan didn’t blame her or insult her, she couldn’t lift her head in front of her anymore.

The two of them were already engaged, yet she and Mu Xingfeng, a single man and woman, had been living together for so long.

It turned out that all of this was Mu Xingfeng trying to repay a debt of gratitude. But why, in the name of repaying a debt, did he say those inexplicable things? Did he find it fun to toy with her? Making her such a laughingstock today.

Finally, An Ran couldn’t stop her tears from falling: Mu Xingfeng, you big liar, I never want to talk to you again.

Lin Ruonan stood on the balcony, watching the girl’s figure disappear into the distance.

This was the decision she made after a night of contemplation. She didn’t want to give up so easily. She had waited for him for twenty years. Wasn’t twenty years of emotional investment worth more than a little girl she had only met a few times?

She knew that doing this was somewhat despicable. If Mu Xingfeng knew, he wouldn’t forgive her. Even so, she still wanted to take this risk because she had no other chance.

As long as she stopped them from being together, as long as she made it to the New Year safely, her grandfather would arrange her engagement with him.

She couldn’t let anything go wrong at this critical moment.

The sudden arrival of Lu Yi’s birthday coincided with the weekend. An Ran hadn’t been to Mu Xingfeng’s place in two weeks. During the first week, Mu Xingfeng had called her at around four in the morning on Friday, asking why she hadn’t come home yet. An Ran said that her schoolwork had been heavy lately and that she didn’t plan to work anymore, intending to spend the weekends studying at school and staying at the school instead. Mu Xingfeng didn’t say much, just told her to take care of herself and not work too hard.

At that time, she was in a private room at the Hacker Bar because she had no place to go. She had to beg Sister Na to let her stay at the bar until dawn and then return to her school dormitory.

Sister Na saw that she was just a little girl and took pity on her, so she agreed.

This day, An Ran was trying to catch up on sleep with her head covered when Xiao Xiao suddenly burst in: "Ranran, my little ancestor, why are you still sleeping? Don’t you know today is the class president’s birthday party? Didn’t he invite you to attend? Get up quickly."

An Ran was dragged up by Xiao Xiao but still kept her eyes closed: "Xiao Xiao, stop it, let me sleep a bit more."

"Sleep a bit more and you’ll be late. I heard that this time it’s the class president’s 20th birthday, and the Lu Family has organized a coming-of-age ceremony for him. The event is said to be on the scale of a grand banquet. Besides celebrities from various fields, they have invited many big stars. If you don’t go, it’s such a waste."

"I don’t want to go; I’ve given my invitation to someone else." An Ran fell back on the bed, hugging the quilt to continue sleeping.

"What? Given it away?" Xiao Xiao shouted, "Do you know that the invitations to Lu Yi’s birthday party have different tiers? Your invitation was a VIP level one, and you gave it away? To whom?"

"An Sijia," An Ran said indifferently.

"Damn it," Xiao Xiao couldn’t help but curse, "Are you out of your mind giving the invitation to her? I was hoping you could meet some successful young men at the party and get over the heartbreak."
