The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind novel Chapter 107

Chapter 107: Chapter 107 You are just too kind

Without the Jiang Family present, the oppressive pressure vanished in an instant.

Cheng An returned to his usual self upon hearing Su Ran’s words.

He scoffed disdainfully, "How could it be fake? Before Jiang Nanshu jumped into the river, Brother Yan had already planned to call off the engagement with that malicious and unpleasant woman. The news had just spread when she, desperate, committed suicide by her threat of death."

Seeing that Su Ran still looked upset, he continued unwillingly, "Brother Yan really wanted to call off the engagement; I’m not lying. After Jiang Nanshu was rescued, he even waited three days for her to stabilize emotionally before visiting. But... he didn’t manage to end it, obviously because Grandpa Lu pressured him not to call off the engagement."

"Or it was that woman Jiang Nanshu who snitched. She’s always been annoying. To cling to Brother Yan, she would resort to crying, making scenes, and even threatening suicide."

Su Ran looked down, and after a moment, her voice gently said, "She’s just someone caught in the middle of Lu Qingyan and me, a pitiable person. She hates me because she lacks confidence; she’s afraid that Lu Qingyan will favor me. Yet Qingyan..."

She smiled helplessly, "I’ve never understood him. Anzi, can he and I ever return to the past? I feel like his heart is wavering."

Cheng An remembered six years ago, when everyone was in their first year of high school, Su Ran had transferred to their school a week after the semester started.

After joining their class, the teacher seated her next to Lu Qingyan.

Initially, they scorned this poor girl, but Su Ran gradually won over their circle with her capabilities. A truly exceptional person shines regardless of where they are.

Gradually, they took to joking about her and Lu Qingyan—a top student and a study god, always dominating first and second place together, inseparable.

It always made Su Ran blush, while Lu Qingyan remained calm and composed, reading his book.

Over time, as Su Ran spent more time by Lu Qingyan’s side, everyone tacitly paired them together, even without openly acknowledging it. They seemed well-matched in their hearts.

Aside from her poor background, Su Ran was perfect in every other way.

Back then, wasn’t there a trend for idol dramas where a scion would defy everything for true love? Everyone thought they could make it.

Until Su Ran left.

And that matter wasn’t brought up again.

Su Ran’s words made Cheng An feel uncomfortable inside. Clenching his teeth, he asserted confidently, "Ranran, he likes you. He’s just trapped by that marriage contract. I’ll find a way... to make Brother Yan break off the engagement. I sincerely hope you can be happy."

Su Ran’s eyes instantly reddened with emotion, and her usually resilient facade crumbled at that moment.

Lu Qingyan was the light of her youth.

Which she tried desperately to hold on to.

No matter how defiantly she claimed to cut contact, it was just a pretense of strength.

She was the one who could never let go.

Su Ran rubbed her eyes and wiped away the tears, her voice choking up, "Anzi, thank you, thank you so much. It seems like you’re the only one willing to stand by my side. I really am a failure. Jiashu resents me for leaving without a word and hardly contacts me. Yun Chuan, too, refrains from being friends with me because of Jiang Nanshu. I..."

She couldn’t continue.

The group of friends, once so close, now fell apart, and nobody seemed willing to bother with her anymore.

Cheng An sighed softly and raised his hand, intending to pat her back but let it rest on her shoulder instead, "I will always stand by your side. Jiang Yunchuan, that traitor, seemed quite supportive of your return at first, but when it came down to the wire, he betrayed us, the bastard."

Su Ran shook her head, smiling through tears, "Anzi, don’t talk like that about Yun Chuan. He’s had it tough too. Jiang Nanshu is his sister, and it wouldn’t be right for him to be too biased against outsiders. Anzi, don’t fight with him over me. Your friendship with him is also important."

"You are just too kind, and that’s why that venomous woman Jiang Nanshu bullies you openly, a living green tea b*tch."

Cheng An now felt disgusted even mentioning Jiang Nanshu.

Slapping him in school, then chasing him so closely here in Fenglin Villa, as if afraid Lu Qingyan would escape. And his luck was poor – encountering the Jiang Family and enduring their mockery.
