Chapter 662: Chapter 667: Murong Jialan VS Lou Xining 4
These people are relatively easy to deal with.
But Lou Xining didn’t recognize those relatives from the Murong Family.
This problem was rather tricky.
"There are three men surrounding your father, all in suits, and they look around your father’s age."
Lou Xining’s voice was deliberately very low, not wanting anyone other than Alan to hear it.
Hearing his deep voice, Alan’s face uncontrollably started to burn again.
She quickly looked in the direction Lou Xining was pointing.
Indeed, she could see four men standing together, but sadly, she couldn’t recognize her own father among them.
However...
Her gaze moved downward, and Alan saw the watches on the wrists of the four men, which she had specially sent to them last time.
All four of them were wearing them.
"They should be my father’s brothers. Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and Fourth Uncle."
"Oh..." Lou Xining responded, "Your father is wearing a light yellow tie. The other man..."
Before Lou Xining could finish speaking, someone quickly noticed Alan standing with Lou Xining.
"Alan? Did you come with Mr. Lou?"
The speaker was also a daughter of a prestigious family, about the same age as Alan. Because of their family connections, they occasionally saw each other.
However, since their personalities were completely incompatible, they never became close friends.
Alan turned her head and sized her up at a glance, immediately recognizing her.
Blonde hair, heavy smoky eye makeup, a tight black low-cut dress.
If it wasn’t Fang Yuan, who else could it be?
"Hello, Fang Yuan, I came with Xining."
Alan’s proactive greeting made Fang Yuan slightly pause.
Alan’s face blindness was well-known in their circle.
It was precisely because of this that Fang Yuan took the initiative to come over, intending to make Alan feel awkward. Unexpectedly, Alan recognized her?
For a moment, she seemed at a loss.
"Alan, you... your disease is cured?"
"Well, almost. By the way, Fang Yuan, I heard your family’s stocks have fallen again recently?" Alan wasn’t stupid. She knew her relationship with Fang Yuan was bad, and that Fang Yuan had come over to greet her proactively just to embarrass her.
Since her intentions weren’t good, there was no need to be friendly.
She had to fight back.
Fang Yuan twitched the corner of her eye as soon as she heard about the stocks.
Recently, their family had some communication issues with the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, causing some permits to be temporarily withheld, leading to a plunge in their stock prices.
"It’s fine, it’s fine..." Fang Yuan replied awkwardly, then turned and left.
After Fang Yuan walked away, Alan snorted, "At least she has some self-awareness! Trying to mess with me? She should know better than to think I’m an easy target!"
Lou Xining had remained silent the entire time, watching Alan’s every word and action like an outsider.
And, on his own initiative, he analyzed Alan’s mindset from a doctor’s perspective.
It seemed she had been bullied a lot since childhood due to her face blindness.
But fortunately, she was optimistic and cheerful, knowing how to protect herself and discern right from wrong.
Her bold and generous character, unconstrained by minor issues, had prevented her from becoming depressed because of her condition.
Instead, she became more resilient, with her heart filled with endless hope.
"No wonder people say the Murong Family’s young lady is quite wild. Now I see it firsthand..." Lou Xining teased with a smile, his mood seemingly improved.
"What do you know? This is called self-defense! If I don’t fight back, she’d think I’m an easy target, and that would be unacceptable," Alan huffed. She didn’t want to end up being the one exploited.
