After contracting to have a child, the icy female CEO became addicted.

"You stinky Jiang Ran, no wonder the company went bankrupt the moment you joined. You bring bad luck wherever you go!"

Pointing at Jiang Ran's back, Qin Yiyao couldn't hold back any longer and cursed out loud.

Beside her, Li Yicheng didn't react much, he just put his arm around Qin Yiyao's shoulder and tilted his head back.

Seeing Jiang Ran again after a year, Li Yicheng was reminded of his time in college.

As the only second-generation rich kid in the dormitory, he thought he could rely on his status to get his roommates to fawn over him, but in the end, he was only fawned over for a month.

Jiang Ran, who came from a neighboring populous province and was admitted based on her hard work, has been living a monotonous life between the library and her dormitory since the beginning of her studies.

When asked, he said he needed to prepare for the postgraduate entrance exam and the English exam early. Although I don't know why he didn't accept the recommendation for postgraduate studies later, Jiang Ran was as self-disciplined as a robot throughout!

After a while, the other two roommates in the dormitory were also influenced and started spending time in the library. Later, the three of them started to win scholarships one after another, and their dormitory was even rated as a "model dormitory"!

Of all of them, he was the only one who didn't fit in.

Even when he was out in public, his classmates would talk behind his back about him being a good-for-nothing...

If that were all, Li Yicheng wouldn't be so angry. After all, he wouldn't have to worry about food and drink after graduation, and no matter what, the other three couldn't compare to his carefree life.

But what angered Li Yicheng was that Jiang Ran actually had a beautiful girlfriend, and what's more, this girlfriend was also academically excellent!

He clearly had a good family background and a powerful connections, but Jiang Ran's appearance made him a complete clown in college!

Over time, Li Yicheng even suffered from psychological stress. He would tremble all over and have difficulty sleeping when he returned to his dormitory. Later, he gradually became insanely jealous!

But now that they've graduated, even a golden dragon in a pond is nothing but trash once it enters the ocean!

So what if she's better looking than him?!

Jiang Ran ultimately failed because of money?!

Even his girlfriend, who had always been by his side, has now chosen him, Li Yicheng!

At this moment, Li Yicheng felt that the anger he had been holding in for decades was finally released!

His grip on Qin Yiyao's shoulders tightened even more; even through her clothes, his nails were practically digging into her flesh...

"Acheng..."

Qin Yiyao's eyes reddened with pain. She bit her lower lip and said with a wronged expression, "I lied to Jiang Ran when I told him I could be friends with him..."

She blinked, sniffed sharply, and hurriedly explained as if afraid Li Yicheng would get angry: "Nothing happened between us. I knew from the beginning that he wasn't good enough for me. I only got together with him because he was too persistent in pursuing me..."

"I know."

Coming to his senses, Li Yicheng quickly let go. "You did the right thing. Someone like him doesn't deserve you!"

As he spoke, he took Qin Yiyao's hand and said, "Let's go weigh it, then we'll buy a bottle of red wine and go to my place tonight."

Qin Yiyao blinked: "Is no one home?"

"fool!"

Li Yicheng chuckled and flicked Qin Yiyao's nose. "It's a new house my dad bought, in the Junlan Mansion area. I'll take you there to stay tonight."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yiyao's eyes lit up instantly, and she asked excitedly, "Junlan Mansion?! Is it the one in the villa area?!"

"certainly!"

Li Yicheng smiled and raised his eyebrows, saying, "However, my family is tired of living in villas, so this time my dad bought an apartment in a villa area."

"The apartments there aren't cheap either! Ah Cheng, your family is amazing! Mua~"

"mua~"

"..."

Beverage area.

Jiang Ran looked at the pure milk on the shopping list and her lips twitched.

I can't believe he's already 23 years old and still lives a life of drinking a glass of pure milk every day...

With a sigh, Jiang Ran resignedly put two large buckets of milk into the shopping cart.

Seeing the shopping cart overflowing with goods, Jiang Ran had no choice but to call the staff for help carrying it.

"Yes, it's that big G-Class parked at the entrance, the license plate number is xxxxx."

After making the payment, Jiang Ran truthfully informed the movers of the information.

Following behind the movers, Jiang Ran walked out of the supermarket.

After finally loading everything onto the car and thanking the movers, Jiang Ran got into the driver's seat. However, he didn't rush to step on the gas. After getting in the car, he immediately took out his phone and looked at the shocking messages from his two roommates!

AAA Building Materials Wholesale Angkor: [Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, they even stole my brother's girlfriend?!]

AAA Fruit Wholesaler Lao Pan: [This is outrageous... Is Li Yicheng crazy?]

Jiang: [I also surprised my family.]

AAA Building Materials Wholesaler Angkor: [I knew he wasn't a good person. He was such a troublemaker back then, not letting us throw trash in the bins and not allowing us to bring food back to the dorm. If it weren't for you stopping us, Lao Jiang, Panzi and I would have beaten him up already!]

AAA Fruit Wholesaler Lao Pan: [Agreed.]

AAA Building Materials Wholesale Angkor: [But Jiangzi, I have to tell you, don't be too upset about this. Women are like clothes, once they're over, they're over. Those who can be easily taken advantage of aren't good people!]

AAA Fruit Wholesaler Lao Pan: [Agreed.]

AAA Building Materials Wholesale Angkor: [Panzi, would it kill you to say two more words?!]

AAA Fruit Wholesaler Lao Pan: [I'm in class.]

AAA Building Materials Wholesale Angkor: [...]

Seeing the two brothers chatting animatedly in their small group chat, Jiang Ran's lips curled up slightly.

This is what brotherhood feels like!

Back in school, Li Yicheng was elusive and followed many rules. The rest of them didn't have as many ulterior motives and never took it to heart. Little did they know that Li Yicheng had been thinking about his ex-girlfriend Qin Yiyao all along.

Thinking about Qin Yiyao's haughty attitude towards him over the years, coupled with the scene of the two of them being affectionate in front of him just now, Jiang Ran instantly felt a little relieved.

This isn't dating; Qin Yiyao probably just sees him as a doormat all along...

Without thinking too much, Jiang Ran sent a message in the group saying "I'll talk about it when I get back," then put down his phone, stepped on the gas, and drove away.

His car had just left the parking area when Qin Yiyao and Li Yicheng came out of the supermarket pushing a shopping cart behind him.

Seeing the Mercedes-Benz G-Class drive by, Qin Yiyao's eyes flickered. Pointing at the car's rear, she asked knowingly, "Acheng, what kind of car is that?!"

"It should be a G-Class."

Li Yicheng responded, then realized what he meant and said with a smile, "My dad just paid the down payment for the house in Junlan Mansion. Once this period is over and our finances are better, if Yaoyao wants one, we'll buy one too!"

Qin Yiyao's eyes lit up, and she then pretended to be sensible and took Li Yicheng's arm, "It's okay, Cheng, you can get a G-Class and I'll drive your Audi A8~"

"Sure!"

"......"

Junlan Mansion Villa District.

Having grown accustomed to coming and going, Jiang Ran no longer felt the nervousness he had the first time he visited. He slowly drove the car to the entrance.

Inside the security booth, Zhang Tao, who had spotted the familiar license plate number early in the morning, immediately opened the gate and waved to Jiang Ran with a smile: "Brother Jiang, you're back?!"

Zhang Tao's eyes lit up as he stared at Jiang Ran's G-Class, and his attitude became even more respectful.

"Um."

Jiang Ran casually responded, not paying much attention, and stepped on the gas and drove straight inside.

Back in the courtyard of Villa 7, Jiang Ran immediately began the work of moving things.

He opened the villa gate in the yard and began his routine from the garage to the living room refrigerator.

Meanwhile, in another city, Wen Ling, who had just finished a meeting, heard a notification sound from her phone.

She picked up her phone, opened the monitoring software, and saw Jiang Ran scurrying back and forth like an ant on the screen...
