Chapter 1972 I, Shu Baozhu, am not an ingrate! I don't care for your things.
Shu Baozhu's suspicious gaze darted back and forth between the two of them, finally settling on Shu Xian's face. She then took out a tissue from her pocket and handed it to her.
Shu Xian quickly took the gift, rubbing her eyes. Once she calmed down, she looked at Shu Baozhu with a gentle smile. "It's your birthday today, so you don't need to help in the kitchen. Just entertain your classmates and take Ranran out."
"Ranran, let's go watch TV in the living room." Shu Baozhu reached out and pulled Zhang Ran away, deliberately arranging for her to sit down next to Liu Xia.
Shu Baozhu secretly slipped the remote control to Liu Xia, implying that she should give it to Zhang Ran. If Zhang Ran accepted it, it would be a sign of reconciliation.
Liu Xia took the remote control and handed it to Zhang Ran without hesitation, saying, "I usually only watch the news, so you can have the remote."
Zhang Ran glanced down at the remote control, pretending not to see it, and took out her phone to check and reply to messages.
Liu Xia dejectedly put the remote control away.
Zhang Ran didn't say a single word to Liu Xia until the dinner ended.
"Auntie, we're leaving now."
Liu Xia and Qiao Xi said goodbye to Shu Xian and then left.
Only Zhang Ran stayed behind and called Shu Baozhu into her room.
As Shu Baozhu watched Zhang Ran close the door, she said with a grin, "Do you regret breaking up with Liu Xia?"
Zhang Ran looked at her helplessly, "You should stop interfering in what's between me and Liu Xia."
Shu Baozhu put away her playful smile and asked seriously, "Ranran, are you really planning to cut ties with Liu Xia? To never have anything to do with her again?"
Zhang Ran sighed softly, "Baozhu, someone like me with a murder case on my record, getting too close to her will only harm her."
Shu Baozhu: "...So, according to you, I also have to break off all ties with her?"
Zhang Ran reached out and patted her shoulder, "You should get along well with her. I'm different. I have more than one life on my hands."
Shu Baozhu: "..." staring intently at Zhang Ran's eyes and brows, "I feel like you've been acting strange since you came back from your rural teaching assignment."
"You're overthinking it." Zhang Ran handed over the prepared documents. "Sign, pay, and Da Xia Gold will be yours."
boom!
Shu Baozhu felt like a bomb had been planted in her head, turning her mind into mush. It took her a while to react, "...What did you say?"
Zhang Ran pushed the document forward, a gesture that immediately provoked Shu Baozhu. She raised her arm and slapped it down hard, yelling at Zhang Ran, "What do you mean?!"
Zhang Ran calmly watched her go crazy, "Everyone else hopes for a windfall, but now gold is falling from the sky and hitting you on the head, and you don't want it?"
"What the hell do you take me for?!" Shu Baozhu roared and shoved her. "I, Shu Baozhu, am not an ingrate! I don't care about your stuff!!" She suddenly squatted down, picked up the documents, stood up, glared defiantly at Zhang Ran, and tore them to shreds with her bare hands.
Seeing her tears streaming down her face, Zhang Ran said coldly, "I'm selling it to you, not giving it to you for free. You have to pay me!"
"I won't buy it!" Shu Baozhu stepped forward, spitting all over Zhang Ran's face: "I won't buy it! I... won't... buy it!!"
Zhang Ran: "...Your breath smells bad, go get your stomach checked." In her past life, she developed stomach cancer due to malnutrition. It started with bad breath, gradually progressing to stomach pain, stomach bleeding, and finally stomach cancer. Shu Baozhu had a similar experience from childhood and may have also developed stomach problems from hunger.
“…I’ll make you stink to death!” Shu Baozhu’s face turned bright red.
Zhang Ran took a step back, took out a tissue to wipe her face, and said seriously, "I'm not joking with you. You've been saving money to get stomach problems. If you don't treat it properly, it will eventually develop into stomach cancer." She added, "I'll get you two bottles of the special medicine when it's produced."
