Chapter 655 You Are The Best

The room went quiet once again. Nan Chen quietened down after venting out his frustration. He picked up a new pair of chopsticks and fed himself some peanuts.

Ning Ran didn’t dare make a sound as she dug into her food. She was so engrossed in it that she didn’t notice that her bowl had been emptied. Nan Chen looked at her in disgust. “Are you trying to eat the bowl?”

Only then did Ning Ran put her bowl down and look up at him innocently. “Do you want to go check on him? To comfort him? Or do you hate me for humiliating him and think it’s unfair to him?” Nan Chen asked.

Ning Ran quickly waved her hands. “No. It’s not like that. You were right! He doesn’t even deserve to be called a man. Lu Jingyuan can do better than him.” “That actress?”

“No. It’s Lu Jingyuan. Their names may sound similar, but they’re not related by blood at all.” Ning Ran smiled.

She was laying a trap for Nan Chen because she wanted to know if he knew who Lu Jingyuan was. Before this, she had briefly mentioned Lu Jingyuan, but Nan Chen had said he didn’t know her.

This time around, Nan Chen seemed to have forgotten all about her when Ning Ran brought up her name again.

I wonder if he has really forgotten about this woman, or he’s just pretending to act as if he doesn’t remember the name. “Oh, I remember now. Is she the one who scared those thugs away with a phone call?”

“Yes. Qiao Zhan must have told you about it. She’s quite impressive, isn’t she? Scaring that many people away with one phone call.”

“No, not at all.” “You don’t think so? A woman like her can make those thugs go away. How is that not impressive to you?”

“She’s been operating a huge guesthouse. This is proof that she’s not weak at all. For all you know, she might just be putting on a weak front. But one thing for sure is that she has someone to back her up. Those thugs may look scary, but they will yield once you take down the boss. She must be from the capital if I’m not mistaken.”

“Yeah. How do you know that?”

“Qiao Zhan told me about it. That prick depended on his brother-in-law, a sergeant, to back him up. It’s not hard for someone from the capital with a little background to keep a sergeant from a small town in check. How could the sergeant’s brother-in-law make a move when the sergeant’s hands are tied?”

Ran nodded. “Yeah, I think so too. But she’s an interesting one. Let’s have dinner with
