Chapter 587: Saw It

“Lailin is different from me—I’m just a rich second-generation, but he’s a true social elite. If it weren’t for an emergency, he wouldn’t have come to Tan Du today. But now that he’s here, I need to fulfill my duty as the landlord. Haha, I didn’t think I’d be able to see Young Master Rang at the Golden Pearl today. Let’s eat together; it’s my treat tonight,” Han Dan said quickly.
Zhi Rang patted his head and immediately reached out to Zhang Lailin. “Of course, I remember! You were the number one student of 2004. Your dad, Zhang Zhiguo, is the Secretary of Ning Hai City. Compared to you, Han Dan and I really are just rich second-generations, haha!”
Zhang Lailin quickly shook his hand. “Those are just minor achievements, nothing worth mentioning. It’s my honor to meet Young Master Rang.”
The few quickly became close and walked into a room.
As they talked, the conversation turned to An Ning wanting to go to Luo Yue. Han Dan knew this was his opportunity to shine.
“If it’s Luo Yue we’re talking about, then I really might have a way. A cousin of mine is living at Luo Yue right now, and she has quite a large place,” Han Dan said pridefully. This immediately caught everyone’s attention, even Zhang Lailin’s.
Luo Yue was different from China. Even if you were the head of China, you still wouldn’t be able to casually make requests to Luo Yue. So, no matter your status in China, trying to go to Luo Yue through connections was useless.
Han Dan, feeling satisfied that everyone was listening intently, continued slowly, “I’ll tell you a secret: the head of Luo Yue and my great-grandfather are very close friends. Do you think my cousin could stay at Luo Yue permanently otherwise? I’m not bluffing. If I wanted to go to Luo Yue, I would only need to tell my great-grandfather.”
Han Dan was bluffing. Although his grandfather, Han Zaixin, could get him into Luo Yue, considering his grandfather’s character, he wouldn’t help.
“Then, Han Dan, can you help me? I wish to move to Luo Yue,” An Ning said, standing up.
Only An Ning knew that if she didn’t truly want to go to Luo Yue, she would never ask such a favor of a rich second-generation she’d just met.
But she had no choice. She didn’t know anyone who could get her into Luo Yue, and her desire to go grew stronger every day.
Han Dan hadn’t expected An Ning to ask for help, but having said so much, he couldn’t admit he’d been bluffing. He clenched his teeth. “Of course, I’ll ask my grandfather as soon as I get home. I trust he won’t refuse me.”
He had no confidence his grandfather would agree, but he couldn’t lose face in front of An Ning.
“Thank you, Han Dan. This is my name card—please call me at your earliest convenience,” An Ning said, happier after hearing his promise. She’d actually met someone as powerful as Han Dan. She handed him another card.
Zhi Rang saw An Ning give out two cards, neither to him, and felt unhappy. But he couldn’t help An Ning. He could help with things in China, but not in Luo Yue.
Even good friends couldn’t just appear and steal your girl, so Zhi Rang said bitterly, “Han Dan, your grandfather’s character is rather stubborn; I think this promise might be difficult to keep.”
Han Dan knew Zhi Rang was right, but he’d made his promise, so he said, “I’ll do my best to make my grandfather agree.”
Even Zhang Lailin heard the lack of confidence in Han Dan’s voice.
An Ning also noticed and felt impetuous. She stood. “Young Master Han, if it proves impossible, I understand. Excuse me while I use the ladies’ room. Please continue your conversation.”
Watching An Ning leave, Zhi Rang smiled. “Han Dan, you bluffed too much. I doubt your words. Your great-grandfather agreeing? Hehehe.”
Han Dan knew Zhi Rang was right and felt disappointed. If he could contact his cousin, he’d ask her for help instead.
Walking out, An Ning felt foolish for believing him so easily and giving him her card.
She’d given out two cards that day; she usually didn’t give out even one in six months.
“I’ve been too desperate—” An Ning murmured and stopped. In the trash can, she saw her name card.
She picked it up—it was undoubtedly his.
For the first time, An Ning felt truly angry and clenched her teeth. She wanted to drag him out and throw him in the bin.
She rarely gave out her card; yet, it had been thrown away. That was intolerable.
She pushed open the door to Ye Mo and Chong Yuanyuan’s room.
Meanwhile, Ye Mo and Chong Yuanyuan’s food arrived. Ye Mo wasn’t passionate about food, but he admitted it was good, though pricey.
They ate and talked. Chong Yuanyuan’s phone rang, and Ye Mo stopped, hoping it was Tang Beiwei.
Chong Yuanyuan spoke and hung up. She looked strangely at Ye Mo. “It was Jingwen. She’s looking for Beiwei too and just got off the plane. She didn’t find Beiwei at school and heard you were here, so she’s coming over.”
Su Jingwen? Ye Mo thought, She was in Ning Hai a few hours ago; how is she here?
The door opened.
Seeing An Ning’s unhappy face, Ye Mo was bewildered. He remembered the name card and used his spiritual sense—the card was gone.
“Is something wrong?” Chong Yuanyuan asked casually.
She didn’t think An Ning would be interested in Ye Mo. He had a certain temperament, but not one that would make women like An Ning chase him.
“You’re not a gentleman! I gave you my name card. It’s fine if you didn’t want to call, but why throw it in the trash?”
Ye Mo blushed. He felt awkward. Why didn’t I just put the card in my ring? Who knew she’d check the trash!
“Um, maybe I dropped it accidentally,” Ye Mo said, regretting it immediately.
“Oh, apparently you’re really environmentally friendly, dropping things too!” An Ning sneered. Ye Mo thought, It was just a name card. So what? He’d thrown away Mo Kang’s card, too, after memorizing the information.
“An Ning, what are you doing?” a voice said.
