Chapter 296 There is also Yu Chuan here
"Yes, long time no see, Yuchuan." Ci Nian responded with a smile.
This person is also called Yu Chuan? !
Gu Ranle widened her eyes and looked at the man standing behind the cashier in disbelief.
She never imagined that the man in front of her not only looked exactly like Yu Chuan, but even had the same name.
She tried hard to search for information about Yu Chuan in her memory, but the number of times she had seen Yu Chuan before was very limited.
In addition to his relationship with Jiang Lan, during the few times they met, she had no time to take a closer look at him.
Now it seems that the two have exactly the same name and appearance, but it is unknown whether their personalities are also the same.
"Who is this?" Yu Chuan's eyes slowly fell on Gu Ranle, and after a slight pause, he smiled and said, "You two look alike!"
After hearing this, Ci Nian smiled and said, "Really? Many people say so."
As she spoke, she put her arm around Gu Ranle's shoulders and introduced her openly, "We are half-sisters."
Yu Chuan was obviously stunned when he heard this, and then he laughed out loud. His laughter was very hearty: "So they are sisters, no wonder they look so alike!"
When Ci Nian went in to buy something, Gu Ranle deliberately stood at the door and didn't go in.
She had her own little plan in mind, actually just waiting for Yu Chuan to talk to her.
Sure enough, as soon as Ci Nian entered, Yu Chuan started talking to Gu Ranle.
Yu Chuan took a bottle of drink from the side, handed it to Gu Ranle, and said with a smile: "Beauty, you look younger than Ci Nian, right? How should I address you? Ci Nian and I are very familiar with each other, we have known each other since childhood."
Gu Ranle raised her eyebrows slightly, "No, I'm two years older than Ci Nian!"
"Really?" Yu Chuan looked surprised and looked Gu Ranle up and down. "You look like you're in your early twenties. You can't tell at all."
Gu Ranle touched his face with a smug look on his face and said, "That's for sure. Otherwise, do you think that the tens of millions of dollars I spend on maintenance every year are wasted?"
Yu Chuan's eyes suddenly lit up, full of surprise and curiosity: "Beauty, are you rich?"
Gu Ranle raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said with a hint of pride: "My man is a businessman, and he has a little money."
Yu Chuan's eyes widened a little, and he said, "You have a little money. What do you call a beautiful lady?"
Gu Ranle uttered two words softly: "My last name is Jiang."
"My last name is Yu, which means "abundant every year". My given name is Chuan, which means "mountains and rivers". You can just call me Yu Chuan." Yu Chuan introduced himself enthusiastically.
Gu Ranle just said "Oh" lightly, without much expression on his face, and had no intention of continuing the conversation.
It was obvious that she had no intention of accepting the drink that Yu Chuan handed over to her.
Seeing that Gu Ranle didn't respond, Yu Chuan quickly said, "Beauty, I'll treat you to a drink. It's free."
Gu Ranle glanced at the drink in his hand and said calmly, "Thank you, I never drink this kind of thing."
Yu Chuan held the drink in his hand, a flash of embarrassment flashed across his face, but he soon regained his smile and said, "Yes, this thing is high in sugar, and beautiful women like you don't drink it. I'll give you the bottle of water."
Gu Ranle just smiled slightly and didn't respond to him.
Seeing that Gu Ranle was unmoved by the drink he handed her before, Yu Chuan rolled his eyes and quickly changed a bottle of water from the shelf. He handed it to Gu Ranle with a smile on his face and said enthusiastically: "It's so hot, please give the beautiful girl a bottle of water to cool down. Please patronize my shop more often in the future, just as a show of support for me."
Gu Ranle was about to say no when she heard Ci Nian's teasing voice behind her: "Yu Chuan, you, a stingy person, finally decided to give up and buy a bottle of water worth more than ten yuan. It's really a waste of time. Oh, why are you so generous today?"
Yu Chuan felt a flash of embarrassment when Ci Nian said that, but he quickly regained his playful smile and said, "Go away, I'm just feeling sorry for the pretty lady because the weather is hot. Here, here, here, I'll buy you a bottle too."
As he said that, he turned around, took a bottle of water from the shelf and handed it to Ci Nian.
Ci Nian was not polite at all. She took both bottles of water and placed them on the cashier's counter along with the other items she had picked. She said casually, "Yu Chuan, check out."
Yu Chuan waved his hand and said generously, "Why settle the bill? Just take it and use it. It's just a few things and not worth much. Just consider it as a treat from me."
Ci Nian glanced at Yu Chuan, then looked at Gu Ranle beside her, raised her eyebrows deliberately, then took out a hundred-dollar bill from her bag, put it on the counter with a "slap", and said, "That's all. If it's not enough, you'll have to pay a little, don't ask me for more."
After saying that, she took Gu Ranle's hand and left the shop in a hurry.
After leaving the store, Ci Nian took Gu Ranle and walked towards her home.
Ci Nian’s home is about 100 square meters. As soon as you enter the door, you can feel that the living room is spacious and bright, and the decoration style is simple and warm.
However, this house has only one bedroom, but the space layout is very reasonable, and every corner is decorated with great care, giving people a warm feeling of home as soon as they enter.
As Gu Ranle looked around the room, she noticed the shoe cabinet at the door. It was filled with women's shoes of various styles, but there was not a single pair of men's shoes.
"Do you live alone?" Gu Ranle couldn't help but ask.
Ci Nian was bending over to take out a new pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet. When she heard Gu Ranle's words, she straightened up and said with a look of reproach on her face, "How could that be? Baby, don't you live with your mother?"
As she spoke, she placed the slippers at Gu Ranle's feet, then squatted down again, raised her face, and looked at Gu Ranle with sparkling eyes, as if she was going to change Gu Ranle's shoes.
Gu Ranle was startled by Ci Nian's sudden action, and quickly took a step back and said, "I can do it myself. I'm not a child anymore."
She is already so old, why does she need someone's help to change her shoes?
Although she had good living conditions since she was young and her family was not short of money, her old man did not raise her into a useless person who could do nothing but eat and drink.
The old man taught her since she was a child that no matter how capable a person is in the future, the first thing he must have is the ability to live and to take care of himself.
Of course, there is one exception.
The old man taught her all kinds of life skills, but he didn't teach her how to cook.
Every time he thought about this, Gu Ranle felt that the old man was being hypocritical.
Ci Nian ignored Gu Ranle's refusal and continued squatting on the ground, looking up at her with tearful eyes. Her voice was almost crying: "But mom wants to help you for a moment. Mom has never helped you take off or put on your shoes. You've grown up so much since mom saw you. Now you don't need mom's help. Mom is so sad."
"..."
Gu Ranle looked speechlessly at this woman who could burst into tears at any time and anywhere.
At this moment, she suddenly understood why men could not refuse a woman who knew how to act coquettishly.
Seeing Ci Nian in this state, even she, a woman, can’t stand it, let alone men.
She raised her hands helplessly and said, "Cinian, can you be more normal? Don't force me to beat you. If you do this again, I will be really angry."
"Baby..." Ci Nian's tears suddenly fell like beads from a broken string, one after another, and she looked extremely aggrieved, "Baby, don't you like mommy? Then what kind of mommy do you like? Can mommy change? As long as you say so, mommy will definitely change."
Gu Ranle was given a headache by Ci Nian's series of questions. She stretched out her hand and pinched her brows hard, trying to calm herself down, and then asked unhappily, "Were you also so spoiled when you were with Song Yan?"
"Acting like a spoiled child?" Ci Nian was stunned for a moment, then shook her head vigorously and said innocently, "Baby, mommy is not acting like a spoiled child! Mommy really wants to be good to you."
"Okay, pretend I didn't say that."
Gu Ranle was completely defeated. She felt that she and Ci Nian were not on the same wavelength at all. If she continued chatting like this, she would be so angry that she would die.
She sighed helplessly, let Ci Nian change her slippers, and then walked straight to the sofa in the living room and sat down.
Ci Nian, with a smile on her face, walked briskly to wash her hands and change her clothes. After a while, she changed into her home clothes and rushed into the kitchen to wash fruits and get snacks.
After a while, Ci Nian came out of the kitchen with a plate of freshly washed fruits and a plate of exquisite snacks. She placed them on the coffee table, then sat next to Gu Ranle, looked at her expectantly, and said, "Baby, do you like these? If not, Mommy will go to the supermarket to buy some. Just tell Mommy what you want to eat."
Gu Ranle looked at the plate full of fruits and snacks in front of her, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She stood up and washed her hands, then returned to the sofa, picked up an apple and put it in her mouth. She took a bite, and the sweet juice spread in her mouth.
She swallowed the apple and asked casually, "Are you familiar with Yu Chuan?"
Ci Nian shook her head and said, "We have known each other since childhood, but I'm far from being very familiar with him."
Gu Ranle tilted her head, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes, and asked again: "Did he pursue you? Or did he have any interest in you in that way?"
Ci Nian frowned, thought about it seriously, and said, "Is there? I don't know. Anyway, he has never confessed to me. But he is not my type. I don't like him at all."
Gu Ranle nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "Looking at your living conditions, your family should be well off, right?"
Ci Nian sighed slightly and said, "In this city, it can only be considered average. But I am the only daughter in my family, and I come from a single-parent family. After your grandfather passed away a few years ago, I was left alone..."
Having said this, Ci Nian seemed to suddenly realize something, her eyes widened as if she had just remembered something important.
Gu Ranle looked at Ci Nian's reaction, nodded, and said, "Is this possible?"
Ci Nian frowned, thought seriously for a while, and said, "Although I don't want to think too badly of people, this possibility is very high."
Gu Ranle rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "It's very possible. Aren't the things you've experienced enough to make you realize the malice of human nature? This person is problematic. Stay away from him in the future. By the way, where does he live?"
Ci Nian replied, "It's not far from here, it's an old neighborhood. Your grandpa and I used to live there, and we were neighbors with Yu Chuan's family, so we've known each other since we were kids. When your grandma was still around, Yu Chuan's mom joked about having a baby marriage with Yu Chuan. But I didn't like Yu Chuan since I was a kid. He wasn't clean at all, and he was very stingy, always complaining."
Gu Ranle frowned and said seriously, "In any case, you'd better avoid him in the future and don't go to his supermarket to buy things. People like that will do anything to achieve their goals."
Gu Ranle thought about it and suggested seriously: "Why don't you hire two bodyguards! This way your safety will be guaranteed."
Ci Nian couldn't help laughing after hearing this and said, "Do you have to be so exaggerated? Hiring a bodyguard, it feels so exaggerated."
As soon as Gu Ranle saw her nonchalant attitude, she knew that the previous lesson was not profound enough for her and did not make her truly realize the seriousness of the problem.
However, this was a place where Gu Ranle was unfamiliar with, and she couldn't find a suitable bodyguard for a while.
Gu Ranle thought for a moment and then asked, "What are the security measures for your community?"
Ci Nian said confidently, "It's pretty good. After all, it's a mid-range community. People who are not residents of the community need to register their information before entering."
Gu Ranle looked puzzled and asked, "Then why didn't I register my information when I came in just now?"
Ci Nian smiled and explained, "Because I am bringing you with me, if the owner brings you with him, there is no need to register."
Gu Ranle frowned and said, "If the owner brings the car with him, there is no need to register. This shows that the security measures are not very good. What if someone with bad intentions really sneaks in?"
Seeing Gu Ranle's worried face, Ci Nian quickly grabbed her hand and comforted her, "Baby, Mommy knows your worries and considerations. How about this, I will try to go out less often in the future, and go in and out through another gate of the community. I will go around Yuchuan, is that okay?"
Gu Ranle looked at Ci Nian seriously and said, "Ms. Ci Nian, my intuition tells me that Yu Chuan is not a good person. I am now talking to you very seriously about your personal safety. Please take it seriously! You can't take it lightly. Some bad guys may not look good on the surface, but who knows what bad ideas they have in mind."
Seeing Gu Ranle being so serious, Ci Nian put away the smile on her face and said solemnly, "Mom is very touched, really baby. You care about me so much, and my heart is very warm. I know a friend whose family runs a security company. Tomorrow I will hire two bodyguards. Is that okay?"
Gu Ranle was still worried and said, "Contact your friend now, don't wait until tomorrow. I can still check it for you."
Ci Nian couldn't persuade Gu Ranle, so she nodded and said, "Okay, okay, mom will contact her now."
As she spoke, she picked up her phone and started making a call.
After the call was connected, Ci Nian expressed her idea and the other party said that she could go to her company now.
So, Ci Nian and Gu Ranle simply ate some fruit and went out again.
As soon as the two went downstairs, they saw Yu Chuan downstairs.
Yu Chuan was also surprised to see the two of them.
Ci Nian and Gu Ranle looked at each other, and Ci Nian asked, "Yu Chuan, when did you start living here?"
