Chapter 202 - Come Back Tomorrow

An Ran felt warmth in her heart, she reached out and hugged Xiao Xiao: "Xiao Xiao, thank you, it’s so good to have you."

Xiao Xiao patted her on the butt: "Don’t be so mushy."

The two exchanged a smile.

After sending Xiao Xiao away, An Ran went to Boss Song’s café. The holiday was coming, and the café was doing good business, but some of the staff wanted to go home for the holiday, so they were short-handed.

Song Yu was very happy to see An Ran arrive. Not to mention being short-handed, even if they had enough hands, knowing An Ran’s relationship with Young Master Mu, she would definitely keep her here.

But just two days into working at the café, An Ran received a call from Sun Xuehui.

As soon as the call connected, Sun Xuehui’s voice came through: "Ran, why haven’t you come home yet? Sijia has been back for two days already. Didn’t you say school was on holiday? You haven’t even given us a call. Do you know how worried Mommy gets?"

Holding the phone, An Ran’s lips curled into a mocking smile. She truly didn’t believe her absence would worry her mother.

"Mom, I’m not planning to go home for winter vacation. I found a job here and decided to work." Although dissatisfied with Sun Xuehui, An Ran didn’t want to make things too ugly because of the three years she’d been raised.

"Work? Ran, we don’t lack that little bit of money. Last time, when Mom took your money, she said she would return it, and she will. Quit your job and come home tomorrow. You didn’t come back for the National Day holiday, your dad talked about it for several days. If you don’t come back for the festival, how sad do you think your dad would be?"

Hearing Sun Xuehui mention An Youcai, An Ran’s eyes darkened. She couldn’t deny that if she didn’t go home, the one who would miss her the most would be her father.

"Alright, I’ll go back in a few days at the end of the year." An Ran thought for a moment, still not wanting to face Sun Xuehui and her daughter for an entire holiday and compromised to go back for the festival.

"In a few days?" Sun Xuehui seemed surprised that An Ran would return at the end of the year and persuaded her again: "Ran, you know how busy your dad’s company gets at the end of the year. Now that you’re grown up, you could help your dad a lot. Just yesterday, your dad mentioned wanting you to come back and help during the holiday. He’s getting older and hopes you can assist him."

Sun Xuehui brought up An Youcai again. An Ran was silent for a while before agreeing to her.

On the other end of the line, hearing An Ran agree to come back tomorrow, a calculating gleam flashed in Sun Xuehui’s eyes.

"Mom, so? Will An Ran come back tomorrow?" An Sijia asked beside her, eyes gleaming as well.

"She will. As long as I bring up your dad, that wild girl has to come back." Sun Xuehui had long seen through it. Although An Ran didn’t listen to her anymore, she would still listen to An Youcai, after all, it was An Youcai who brought her out from that place.

"Mom, what if Dad finds out about that?" An Sijia, remembering something, looked at Sun Xuehui with some concern.

Sun Xuehui patted her hand: "Don’t worry. Mom has it under control. Your dad’s company is in a slump. If we can finalize the deal with Boss Liu before the year-end, your dad’s company will survive. Our family depends on your dad for a living, he won’t let the family go down. As for An Ran, An Family raised her for 15 years. It’s time for her to repay the An Family. As long as nothing goes wrong tomorrow, even if your dad finds out later, he won’t say anything for the business deal."

Sun Xuehui said confidently, unable to suppress her joy in her eyes.
