However, Bai Rongran was rarely persistent. When the first call wasn't answered, she made a second one, and then a third. On the third attempt, the call was picked up. The person on the other end heard Bai Rongran crying. At that time, Bai Rongran was so proud, yet she was so broken that she could only call this person who knew the truth for help. But this person ignored Bai Rongran, thinking it was just another bad idea of Bai Rongran's to play a trick on her. She casually promised Bai Rongran that she would go abroad, but didn't take it seriously at all.
She didn't go abroad to give Bai Rongran a hand.
Two months later, Bai Rongran returned to the country alone and started to scheme to become the young mistress of the Chu family. At the same time—
She plotted to bring down Chu Chuan.
Just as the dream was reaching its most crucial point, Rong Lan suddenly woke up with a start. She glanced at the person beside her. The person was still sleeping soundly, breathing steadily.
She carefully placed her hand on his, then turned to look out of the window.
Outside the window, it was still dark. The world was shrouded in a thick mist, and almost nothing could be seen. But after looking for a while, her mood gradually calmed down.
If this dream was real, at least half of the missing memories from her past life had been filled in.
She couldn't say that Bai Ronglan from the past life was wrong. After all, from Bai Ronglan's perspective, she had been so often tricked by her younger sister that she didn't dare to believe her sister's words anymore. She was afraid that her sister was using a ruse of feigning distress to lure her abroad and harm her. So she didn't believe Bai Rongran and didn't know what Bai Rongran had actually experienced abroad.
She also couldn't say that Bai Rongran was wrong. Because from Bai Rongran's perspective, there were too few people who knew she was pregnant. She had no choice but to turn to the sister she had always disliked for help. She had put aside all her pride and called her sister again and again, hoping that her sister would give her a hand. However, the person who had promised to pick her up abroad never showed up. As days and weeks passed, she didn't wait for Bai Ronglan. How could she not hate? She hated so much that after returning to the country, besides causing trouble for Chu Chuan, she also caused trouble for Bai Ronglan.
It was just that Bai Rongran's thoughts and actions were too extreme.
"What are you looking at, Lanlan?" A hoarse and deep voice sounded.
Rong Lan turned her head and saw the man looking sleepy and dazed after taking off his eye mask. The heavy emotions in her heart dissipated instantly. She reached out and gently poked his face, smiling brightly. "Are you awake, brother? I just woke up too."
Chu Hengyuan raised his eyebrows and grabbed the little girl's restless hand. "How long did you sleep, Lanlan?"
Rong Lan hesitated for a moment and shook her head. "I don't know. I didn't look at the time. I fell asleep while playing."
Hearing this, Chu Hengyuan looked at the time on his phone. "We should be arriving at our destination soon."
"That's pretty fast." The little fox twitched her ears.
"It's a bit faster than I expected." He smiled, let go of her hand, opened the glasses case, and put on his glasses.
Rong Lan tilted her head. "Brother, why do you like wearing glasses so much recently?" Putting on glasses was the first thing he did after waking up. His dependence on glasses was quite deep. But her brother didn't have myopia at all. Whether he wore glasses or not shouldn't affect his vision.
Chu Hengyuan adjusted his glasses frame. Just as he was about to come up with a reasonable excuse to fob off the curious little girl, the announcement that the plane was about to land sounded.
The little fox's attention was easily drawn away by the announcement, and she completely forgot the question she had asked Chu Hengyuan.
Seeing that the little girl didn't remember, Chu Hengyuan just smiled and didn't try to explain anymore. "The announcement is out. We should be able to get out of the airport in about half an hour. Then we'll go to the self - service cash exchange machine to get a little cash, and then take a taxi to the place where Bai Rongran lives."
"Okay! I'll listen to you, brother!" Rong Lan, who had no experience of traveling far in this world, didn't hesitate to follow Chu Hengyuan's arrangement.
Sure enough, as Chu Hengyuan had expected, the plane landed in about ten minutes.
Half an hour later, the two got out of the airport. It took them another ten minutes to exchange cash, and then they went outside the airport to take a taxi.
It was almost dawn. There were quite a few people around the airport, so it wasn't difficult to get a taxi.
Rong Lan was led by Chu Hengyuan and followed him closely. She looked at him with admiration as he arranged everything, her eyes shining. "Brother, you're so amazing!"
Chu Hengyuan glanced at the little girl's excited fox ears and smiled gently. "I used to arrange at least one overseas trip a year. I had to make these kinds of preparations for each trip, so I'm used to it."
Rong Lan moved closer to Chu Hengyuan and whispered in his ear. "Can you understand everything they say, brother?"
Chu Hengyuan raised his eyebrows. "Of course." He was just short of money, not uneducated. He just didn't expect that the little fox didn't understand foreign languages.
Moreover— "Why don't you understand, Lanlan? Weren't you dealing with overseas projects during your internship at the Bai Group?" People like them who had been in a strong learning environment since childhood were considered unqualified if they didn't learn one or two foreign languages, unless they could be sure that they wouldn't be involved in the family business in the future. And he knew that during Bai Ronglan's time at the Bai Group, she was dealing with overseas projects, so she couldn't not know basic foreign languages.
The little fox was supposed to act as Bai Ronglan of the Bai family. How could she not even remember such a thing clearly? This wouldn't do. It was easy to expose her.
Rong Lan suddenly felt extremely guilty. She didn't remember such detailed things at all. "I didn't say I didn't understand. I was just testing you in case you didn't understand."
In fact, she really didn't understand.
She had always been worried that she would be too deeply influenced by the emotions left in the original owner's memories and couldn't be herself. So she had sealed all of the original owner's memories deep in her mind. She rarely looked at them unless it was necessary.
It seemed that she had to retrieve the original owner's foreign - language skills, or she wouldn't be able to move an inch abroad if Chu Hengyuan wasn't by her side.
Chu Hengyuan's gaze fell on the little fox's slightly bent ears, and his smile grew wider. Even the little fox's ears seemed to be revealing the word "guilty". And he had just spoken fluent foreign languages when asking for directions. How could the little girl have the nerve to say she was testing him?
"Okay, okay, you understand, Lanlan. Then you'll be in charge of negotiating with the driver later?" He was teasing her.
Rong Lan didn't hesitate and immediately shook her head. Her fox ears bent even more. "Let brother do it. You look so handsome when you have everything under control! I like it!"
Chu Hengyuan couldn't help laughing. The little girl was so good at flattering. Fortunately, he had a thick skin, or he would have blushed and got embarrassed in no time.
He led the little girl to a car with the window rolled down and a taxi sign on the body. He confirmed the destination and price with the driver in the driver's seat, and then led Rong Lan into the car.
The first time he traveled abroad alone, he was ripped off by a driver. Although it wasn't a large amount of money, he still felt annoyed. So over the years, he had developed a habit of negotiating the destination and price with the driver before taking a taxi abroad. It saved a lot of trouble.
