Xu Anran didn’t know how long she had been sitting in the rain, but she felt as if her whole body was numb. The memories of her previous life were like a silent piece of memory that kept flashing in her mind. Her eyes were moist, and there were traces of tears on her face, which were hidden away with the rain. The rain mixed with the muddy water and stained her whole body. She looked up at the sky, feeling very small. She was just an ant that was swimming against the current. With just a little bit of wind and waves, she was pushed down a hundred thousand feet cliff. She was not resigned.

In her previous life, she had been tricked by Qin Xiaokun and ended up dying a horrible death. It was not easy for her to get a chance to be reborn. Did she have to be like her previous life? When a person was down and out, everyone had to step on them.

“Xu Anran, I can’t stand that noble look of yours the most.” The project manager of the Xu Corporation came out from the venue with an umbrella in hand and walked in front of Xu Anran.

Xu Anran recognized the person who came when she heard the voice. It was the person who had told her that the project had been changed to Xu Anning. Seeing that Xu Anran was still silent, he immediately mocked her, “I don’t know how happy I am to see your shameful look!” After saying that, he snorted coldly and walked away.

Xu Anran’s body trembled slightly. She forced herself to stand up and walked to the roadside to hail a taxi. Seeing that she was drenched, many taxis were unwilling to stop. They were afraid that she would make the backseat dirty so they had to specially wash it.

After an unknown amount of time, a car finally stopped. The driver was a middle-aged woman. When she saw Xu Anran’s drenched appearance… she hurriedly let her into the car. “Aiya, Miss, why are you so silly to be drenched in the rain? Don’t just stand there! Come, come, come! Quickly get in the car!”

Xu Anran knew that she was drenched in the rain. When she got into the car, all she could think about was apologizing. For a moment, she did not know what to say. Her gaze was unfocused as she stared blankly out of the window. When she reached her house, she directly stuffed three tickets into the driver’s hands. After getting out of the car, she did not even look back and said that she would not take them back.

The needle ticked away. 9:30 pm. Jiang Rongyan put away the umbrella in his hand, changed into slippers, and strode into the house. Suddenly, his footsteps stopped. He looked up and his gaze fell on a petite figure. The woman was wearing a set of home clothes. She was curled up in the corner of the sofa, hugging her knees. Her eyes were red and slightly swollen. It was obvious that she had just cried.

He did not know why, but when he saw Xu Anran like this, he actually felt a little heartache. He suddenly remembered that a few days ago, she had said that he would participate in a project’s bidding. It seemed like today was the day. Looking at her sad and decadent appearance, it should be because she had failed the bidding and had suffered a blow. With that thought, Jiang Rongyan walked over to her and immediately sat down beside the sofa. He moved closer. After hesitating for a while, he still comforted her. “It’s just a single bid. It’s nothing much. Don’t feel too pressured. Your work is very good.”

He was speaking the truth. After seeing Xu Anran’s work that day, he was truly stunned. He had originally thought that Xu Anran was just a vase and that she only had a good appearance. However, he did not expect her to have such talent. He had never comforted a woman before. Looking at her sad appearance, he was momentarily at a loss.

Xu Anran heard this and regained some consciousness. When she thought of what Xu Anning had said, she could not help but sneer, “You don’t have to pretend to be kind!”

Jiang Rongyan: “…”

“How am I pretending to be kind?”
