Chapter 2288 Untitled
Zhang Cheng asked curiously, "What happened? Did Zhan Wei come to settle accounts with you?"
"He wants you to be responsible for him, or what?"
"Ruoruo, are you out now? Tell me the address, I'll rush over now and give you a chance to treat me to a meal."
Lan Ruoruo said, "I'm getting ready to go out. You said you were busy outside, so I decided not to treat you to dinner today. I'm going shopping to buy Zhan Wei ten new sets of clothes. I soiled his clothes last night, and he asked me to compensate him with ten new sets of clothes."
"Zhang Cheng, why do I feel like you are just enjoying other people's misfortune?"
Zhang Cheng laughed and said, "I am really enjoying the melon, but I definitely don't feel happy about other people's misfortunes."
"Ruoruo, we can't develop into lovers or even husband and wife, but we can be friends. We can still get along well as friends. You trust me, and I trust you too."
"Friends care about each other. I care about you."
Lan Ruoruo said to him: "Originally, we met and wanted to develop our relationship. Zhan Wei suddenly did this, which made him your love rival. You don't have any hatred towards your love rival, but instead you look like a bystander."
"My melon is so delicious? Or are you just not interested in me at all?"
Zhang Cheng said with a smile: "What you mean to me is what I mean to you. We are the same. Don't laugh at me when you are only fifty steps away."
"Zhan Wei can't be considered my love rival. I actually admire him and want to be friends with him. I wonder if he thinks highly of me and is willing to be friends with me."
Lan Ruoruo: "...I don't think he will be friends with you."
Zhang Cheng thought of Zhan Wei's attitude towards him last night, and he laughed, "That's because he thought we were a real couple, and he saw me as a love rival, so he wouldn't be friends with me."
"Once he knows that the relationship between you and me is not what he thinks, and that our two families are just maintaining business relations and will not become in-laws, I think Mr. Zhan will change his mind about me and will no longer regard me as a love rival."
"Actually, I wanted to take you home last night. You didn't pester Zhan Wei. I could have taken you away if I wanted to take you home. It was Zhan Wei who wouldn't let me take you home."
"He said you were drunk and confused, and he was afraid that I would do something bad to you, so he didn't trust me to take you home, so he rushed to take you home."
"Ruoruo, why are you still looking for a blind date? You already have a guardian angel by your side, but you just haven't noticed it yet. Your guardian angel is better than me and is more suitable for you than me."
"..."
Lan Ruoruo was speechless.
It turns out that many people consider her and Zhan Wei to be a couple.
It’s really weird. They are obviously sworn enemies, so how can everyone see that there is something ambiguous between them?
"Okay, I'll go to Yangcheng Hotel. If you can come over, come over. I'll treat you to a meal. We can talk over dinner."
"If it doesn't arrive so soon, I'll go buy clothes first and then go to the hotel."
Zhang Cheng said, "I estimate it will take about an hour to get there, so go buy some clothes first. After buying a suit jacket, buy him ten shirts to match his looks, and ten new ties."
"It looks better that way. You girls have better taste. We men are just rough. I see Zhan Wei wears the same clothes every day. He doesn't even change the style. Even if the combination is different, it will be fresh."
Lan Ruoruo said unhappily, "He's not my man, why should I prepare his outfit for him every day?"
"That's it, see you in an hour."
Lan Ruoruo hung up the phone.
She felt that everyone around her now regarded her and Zhan Wei as a couple.
Leaning against the back of the car seat, Lan Ruoruo was a little angry.
After being sulking for a while, she actually felt a little pain in her heart.
Based on what she and her grandfather said, it was impossible for her and Zhan Wei to be together.
Because they are sworn enemies in business, even if she leaves the Lan family and marries him, can he really trust her? Isn't he afraid that she will steal his company's secrets?
Besides, it was impossible for her to quit the Lan Group and leave her job just for Zhan Wei.
If she had to make such a sacrifice, she would rather not marry.
Her grandmother always taught her that girls should maintain financial independence before and after marriage, and not live a life of dependence.
Even if you marry into a wealthy family and become a lady, if you have no income and rely on your husband for support, you have to depend on others for everything.
Grandma said that when she married into the Lan family when she was young, she saw how her great-grandmother lived at home and she felt very depressed.
Their Lan family became wealthy during the generation of their great-grandfather.
When her great-grandmother married into the Lan family, her great-grandfather was in the early stages of starting a business and had no time to take care of his family. Her great-grandmother became a housewife, taking care of her husband and children, and the elderly and children at home.
By taking good care of the home, my husband will have no worries while he works hard outside.
However, since my great-grandmother had always been a housewife at home, even when her husband became rich and their life improved, she was still the woman who looked up to her.
When the husband is in a good mood, he will give the household expenses and pocket money generously.
When he was in a bad mood, he would not give the household expenses to his wife, but to the housekeeper. The servants in the house were richer than his wife because they received a salary every month.
The wife depends on her husband for a living.
If the husband doesn't give money, the wife will be penniless.
Lan Ruoruo heard about her great-grandmother from her grandmother. Her grandmother said that once, her great-grandfather had a quarrel with her great-grandmother, and in a bad mood, he went on a business trip and did not return home for a long time.
He didn't give my great-grandmother any pocket money, so she was left with no money. In the end, she had to sell two sets of jewelry to earn money to live.
Although my great-grandmother later became the wife of a wealthy man, she had no financial ability and was completely dependent on her husband.
The situation improved when the children grew up and became capable, and often gave great-grandmother some pocket money. Only then did great-grandmother escape the predicament of being financially strangled by great-grandfather.
After Old Lady Lan married into the Lan family, her father-in-law asked her to just be a lady at home and not show up in public, saying that the Lan family was rich and could afford to support them.
However, Mrs. Lan did not listen to her father-in-law, and Mr. Lan was not as old-fashioned as his father. He supported his wife in having her own career. The couple also took over the Lan's enterprise together, and after hard work, it developed into today's Lan's Group.
Old Mrs. Lan also taught her daughter and granddaughter the same thing: no matter what their background was, they must maintain financial independence before and after marriage, and never pin all their life hopes on others.
Mountains will fall if you rely on them, only you can be reliable if you rely on yourself.
Therefore, it is impossible for Lan Ruoruo to give up her career, even though her personal assets are enough for her to spend for a lifetime.
She will not give up her current career for love and marriage.
She would rather remain single for the rest of her life than sacrifice everything she has now.
