Zhang Ran looked at Qian Li and said with a smile, "You handle your own romantic affairs; I won't interfere."

Seeing that Qian Li wanted to say something, Zhang Ran stopped her: "I can only guarantee that you will suffer less harm in the future, and you don't need to ask for my opinion on this matter.

I have no opinion; the only opinion I might have is that I hope you can be happy and live well, and that is enough."

Zhang Ran spoke with sincerity, and Qian Li could feel it too, "Thank you."

"There is no need to be so polite with me."

However, having said that, Zhang Ran still looked at Wen Jing and said, "Wen Jing, do you truly like Xiao Li? I will only ask this once; likewise, this is also your only chance to go back on it."

Zhang Ran's tone was very flat, but Wen Jing's heart tightened; he knew just how much power Zhang Ran possessed.

"Mr. Zhang, please rest assured, I truly like Xiao Li; this is absolutely true!" Wen Jing took a deep breath and said earnestly.

Zhang Ran nodded, a smile reappearing on his face, "As an elder, I'm just showing some concern; don't take it too much to heart.

Don't be too nervous either; since you are going to be with Xiao Li, then just call me Zhang Shu."

Wen Jing didn't speak; he didn't dare to, as his previous experiences were still fresh in his mind.

Moreover, don't look at Zhang Ran's easygoing appearance now; he swore that if he really tried to pull any crooked tricks again, the outcome awaiting him would likely be miserable.

After saying a few words, Zhang Ran looked at Zhang Siyan and didn't speak; he didn't know how to talk to Zhang Siyan.

The current Zhang Siyan was also gradually becoming independent; in fact, it was time to find a family.

As a father, Zhang Ran could protect her and give her everything she wanted, but he could not give her a family, so Zhang Ran still hoped that Zhang Siyan could find someone who truly loved her, and preferably someone she liked as well.

Zhang Siyan seemed to understand her father's meaning, but she just smiled and didn't speak; she had her own thoughts.

In any case, she wouldn't consider such matters in the next few years; there were still many things at the company, and she also needed to spend more time with her daughter, so where would she find the time for romance?

In the evening, Liu Lu told her younger brother Liu Kai about Zhang Ran's intention, letting him choose a car worth around one million.

"Sis, you are really too good to me; you really are my own sister." Liu Kai was overjoyed when he heard this news.

He had a car now, but if he could have a luxury car, he wouldn't complain about having more.

"This isn't something I'm giving you; according to my intentions, a car worth two or three hundred thousand would have been enough for you," Liu Lu reminded him; she hoped her brother would know how to be grateful and not just know how to take.

Liu Kai understood his sister's meaning and said with a smile, "Sis, don't worry, I know, and I won't cause any trouble for Zhang Shu."

"As long as you know. Alright, I won't talk to you anymore; your brother-in-law is calling." After saying this, Liu Lu hung up the phone.

At this time, Liu Kai was still living at Gu Panpan's home; Liu Kai was almost becoming a live-in son-in-law.

There was no help for it; Liu Kai wanted to rent a place to live, as their new home wouldn't be ready to move into until they were married.

But Pei Mingmei wouldn't allow it; Pei Mingmei saw things very clearly now. If they wanted to bask in the reflected glory, Liu Kai had to treat this place as his home too, otherwise, why would Liu Lu look after them?

As for latching onto Zhang Ran's thigh, that was out of the question for now; their relationship and status were far from enough, and being able to latch onto Liu Lu was already quite good.

As long as this relationship was maintained well, the probability of latching onto Zhang Ran's thigh in the future would still be quite high.

When she heard that Zhang Ran was going to give Liu Kai a luxury car, Pei Mingmei's eyes lit up.

"Auntie, do you think I should choose a cheaper one?" Liu Kai asked; he still admired his mother-in-law very much, as she was very methodical in how she conducted herself and did things.

Pei Mingmei thought for a moment and said, "No, just choose a car in the million-level range; don't deliberately choose a cheaper one."

"Mom, didn't you say not to take too much advantage? Why do you want Xiao Kai to choose a more expensive one now?" Gu Panpan asked, confused.

Pei Mingmei revealed a smile and said, "You don't understand; is Mr. Zhang short of money?"

"Certainly not," Gu Panpan said immediately.

"Then is this one million considered a large sum of money to Mr. Zhang?" Pei Mingmei asked again.

Gu Panpan didn't quite know how to answer; was this money a lot?

To them, of course it was a lot, but to Zhang Ran, was it?

"To Mr. Zhang, this money is just a drop in the ocean and can be completely ignored. Do you know? Just two days ago, I heard that Mr. Zhang won over ten billion in Macau; do you know how much money that is?" Pei Mingmei said.

Because of Liu Kai, Pei Mingmei paid close attention to Zhang Ran; she would inquire about him at the slightest opportunity and was very concerned about news regarding Zhang Ran.

Plus, she worked at a bank, so she had more information channels regarding money.

"That much?" Gu Panpan opened her mouth in surprise, and Liu Kai was the same; ten billion? How much was that?

Liu Kai felt he couldn't even imagine it.

"Do you know why Mr. Zhang is giving Liu Kai a car?" Pei Mingmei asked again; she was teaching her daughter and son-in-law.

Gu Panpan said, "Because the eldest sister is his daughter-in-law."

"No, have you seen many fathers-in-law buy such a good car for their daughter-in-law's younger brother?" Pei Mingmei asked.

Gu Panpan didn't speak; she felt that it was clearly a very simple matter, so why did it suddenly become so complicated?

Pei Mingmei continued, "That is because what Xiao Kai did last time made Mr. Zhang happy. Mr. Zhang thinks Xiao Kai is a decent person, which is why he is doing this. Of course, it cannot be denied that Liu Lu's influence is definitely involved, but Xiao Kai also deserves credit."

The more Pei Mingmei spoke, the more excited she became, "So this is a reward for Xiao Kai. If you deliberately choose a cheaper one, Mr. Zhang might be unhappy, understand?"

Gu Panpan shook her head; she still couldn't grasp the relationships involved, but Liu Kai was somewhat thoughtful.

Pei Mingmei was now increasingly satisfied with her son-in-law Liu Kai; she used to feel that he was lacking in this and that, but now it seemed she had truly misjudged him.

Although Liu Kai's ability was indeed nothing to write home about, he knew how to conduct himself, had a sense of the big picture, and his sense of right and wrong was also quite good.

If this were an ordinary person, it would probably just be that, but it couldn't be helped that Liu Kai's sister had married into a good family.

Therefore, this personality of Liu Kai's was the best; he didn't cause trouble for his sister's side, and he could still help out a little bit and build up some presence, which was the best.
