Novel Bin Chapter 312 Save money
While he left, she turned around to enter inside. As she crossed the entrance, she saw Amanda Ning standing there.
“You look happy to be here, ” Amanda commented.
“Don’t we all?” An Xiulan asked.
Amanda gestured around her and An Xiulan fell silent to see sombre faces walking here and there. Why did people here look as if they had never seen the light of a joyous morning?
“Well, I have a fair share of depressing days, ” An Xiulan smiled. “When I’m not depressed, I’m shining like sunlight.”
“Then, I hope NL won’t take away your sunlight, ” Amanda remarked.
“I have my personal sun. All I need to do is hug it and I will be full of sunlight, ” An Xiulan laughed.
“Your boyfriend?” Amanda ended up asking.
“No, my mom, ” An Xiulan winked and sashayed away.
The receptionist looked at the new lawyer with a dumbfounded expression. Someone dared to be naughty with CEO Amanda who was always in serious mode. Whoever this new lawyer was, she looked pretty amazing.
The intern of that day came running when she saw An Xiulan standing there waiting for the elevator.
“I recognised you, “The intern said. She was gasping for breath but she knew she had to complete her sentence. “You are Miss China of Year XXXX. My sister is your biggest fan. She said you are her inspiration. She participated in the Miss Sunshine contest just like you did once.”
“All the best to your sister for this journey, ” An Xiulan smiled.
“Can you give me your autograph? She will be thrilled, ” The intern said with a hesitant look.
“Only if you promise to treat me like a normal employee from now on, ” An Xiulan said.
The intern smiled widely at her and nodded her head. She took out a paper and An Xiulan signed on it.
“What’s your sister’s name?” An Xiulan questioned.
“Rui, “The intern replied with a smile.
An Xiulan nodded her head and wrote at the bottom of the paper, “Dear Rui, never let the sunshine inside you die. Get your personal sun and hug it when you feel your sunshine dimming.
– Love
AN Xiulan, your loving Glitter Queen. “
When An Xiulan left, the intern smiled at the lady. Her sister was right. Rui had once told her that one day she would meet An Xiulan in person and would understand why she idolized this woman other than thousands of other famous celebrities. An Xiulan shone like a brought sun, but her light wasn’t callous on the skin but quite warm and soothing.
An Xiulan decided to drop by her father’s office first as she knocked on the door, she heard a sound of approval and opened the door to find her father buried in work. She had placed a coffee mug that she asked the secretary to brew on his desk and waited for him to look at her.
Lu Zhaolin blinked his eyes as he came across his daughter’s face.
“Good morning, daddy, “An Xiulan greeted him with a smile.
“A good morning indeed, “Lu Zhaolin smiled back. “Take a seat.”
“I didn’t bring your car, “An Xiulan confessed.
“It’s okay, “Her father said with a sigh.
“Can I keep it?” An Xiulan innocently asked.
“No, “Lu Zhaolin clearly said.
An Xiulan grumbled. “Every parent talked about filial piety but don’t parents need to do the same towards their kids?”
“Stop playing law games with me, “Lu Zhaolin said. “I didn’t pay for your law school to be manipulated by your words.”
An Xiulan pursed her lips. “Educating a child is every parent’s duty. When I have kids, I will pay for their school too.”
“Don’t talk about kids, “Lu Zhaolin grunted. “You aren’t ever having kids.”
“Daddy, don’t you want to play with your grandchildren?” An Xiulan asked.
“My baby is still a baby and she can’t have a baby, “Lu Zhaolin quickly said. “Also, you aren’t allowed to marry until you are fifty. A topic close!” Seeing her pursed lips, he added, “Come on, I will show you your office space.”
As they came out of the office, they saw Amanda Ning coming their way.
“Miss An, your boyfriend’s Id card fell on the ground when he drove away, “Amanda said. The security guard found the identity card. Thankfully, she could recognise Han Zixin to be the same handsome young man who was behaving intimately with An Xiulan. She had an inkling that An Xiulan would certainly come to meet Lu Zhaolin whose office was on the same floor as her and here she was.
Lu Zhaolin’s gaze quickly fell on his daughter and she gulped. Before she could take the ID card from Amanda, he took it away and as he looked at the name and picture on the Identity Card, he had an urge to break a law.
“Daddy, don’t misunderstand, “An Xiulan said in a soft voice.
“Are you and that gangster boy dating?” Lu Zhaolin asked, barely controlling his anger.
“Zixin is a Deputy of the police , not a gangster, ” An Xiulan replied. Her father was just biased against her best friend.
“That’s not the answer to my question, ” Lu Zhaolin questioned. He would break every boy’s legs who would dare to look at his daughter. She was so young to be involved with puppy love.
“Zixin and I aren’t dating yet, ” An Xiulan answered.
“Wait, what do you mean by ‘yet’?” Lu Zhaolin questioned. “You can’t date anyone.”
“Okay, ” An Xiulan nodded her head. “If I ever like anyone, I will just drag him to the civil affairs bureau and save your money. After all, dating and weddings cost money.”
Amanda ended up laughing as she heard the reply. As she looked at the dark look casted on Lu Zhaolin’s face, she disappeared from there.
“You are allowed to marry either, ” Lu Zhaolin mentioned.
“Oh my god, you got married twice and I can’t even marry once. That’s unfair to me, ” An Xiulan feigned to be mad.
Lu Zhaolin blushed angrily and went back to his office to throw an tantrum.
“Huh, I was just saving money.”
