Chapter 177: A Master at Persuasion

She wanted to send more things to the ghost Bai Ronglan. If the ghost could enjoy the moonlight while munching on snacks, it probably wouldn't feel so lonely.

"Okay." After Bai Rongran replied to Bai Ronglan, she immediately told the driver to change the destination.

"By the way, Ranran, you should know that Chu Chuan went to the hospital and registered at the psychiatry department, right?" Ronglan patted Bai Rongran on the shoulder, smiling brightly. "Did your plan work?"

Bai Rongran crossed her arms and eyed Ronglan suspiciously for a few seconds. "It did work, but you were still in a coma when Chu Chuan went to the hospital. How did you find out about this?"

Ronglan wasn't the least bit flustered. "I just checked my phone." She knew her younger sister Ranran would ask this question, so she had spent five minutes on her phone before bringing up the topic, pretending to be looking at unread messages.

"You're really well - informed." She had thought Ronglan would say she heard about it in a dream. After all, she had told the comatose Ronglan about Chu Chuan registering at the psychiatry department.

Ronglan took Bai Rongran's words as a compliment. "Has Chu Chuan tried to see you?"

"He has." Bai Rongran took out her phone and sent Ronglan the screenshots she had saved as evidence. "But I didn't see him. It's not the right time yet."

Ronglan looked down at her phone. The screenshots her younger sister sent were quite interesting. "Chu Chuan must have been so humble in front of you for the first time." In the messages on the screenshots, Chu Chuan's words changed from initial commands to pleas. All he wanted was to make an appointment to meet Bai Rongran. However, Bai Rongran ignored him, not even replying with a single emoji, letting Chu Chuan try in vain to impress her.

"Probably. But it doesn't matter. He still has a trump card. I'll see him after his trump card is gone." Bai Rongran said with a thoughtful look.

"Trump card?" Ronglan stroked her chin.

How come she didn't know Chu Chuan had a trump card?

"Yes, it's a trump card. Chu Chuan's biological mother is his biggest trump card. The reason why a healthy person has been staying in the mental hospital is that it was one of the conditions for Chu Chuan to work in the Chu Group. Now that Chu Chuan has been abandoned by the Chu Group, he will definitely take his mother out and try to make the once charming beauty evoke the sympathy of the head of the Chu family again."

Ronglan raised her eyebrows. "But it seems that the once charming beauty failed?"

It seemed that when Han Xiaoshuang first got out of the mental hospital, her plan was to seduce Chu's father. But that plan failed, so Han Xiaoshuang took a risky move and broke into their house, claiming to steal documents from the Chu Group.

"She did fail, but it's not a complete failure yet. Only when she goes to jail can we prove that Chu Chuan's last trump card is completely gone. After all, she's the only one who will truly plan for Chu Chuan. Unless—"

Ronglan smoothly picked up where her younger sister left off. "Unless Chu Chuan is so charming that someone with power comparable to the head of the Chu family is willing to spend a fortune for him."

Bai Rongran nodded in agreement. "Exactly!"

However, such a person clearly hadn't appeared yet. Even the young miss from a noble family who had always spoken up for Chu Chuan had disappeared in the past few days, obviously having given up on him.

Just as the two sisters were chatting happily, the car stopped. The driver turned his head slightly and reminded them, "Ladies, we've arrived at the supermarket."

"Okay, let's get out." Ronglan couldn't wait.

"Sure."

Bai Rongran accompanied Ronglan as they pushed a shopping cart straight to the snack section of the supermarket. Watching Ronglan put chocolates and dried meat into the cart, Bai Rongran suddenly realized something was wrong. "Wait! I think I made a wrong decision. I haven't finished memorizing the words I assigned myself today, yet I'm here shopping with you. Shouldn't I send you home and let Chu Hengyuan accompany you instead?"

She had skipped work early today, and now she was shopping with Ronglan. She might not be able to finish her self - assigned homework.

Although it was self - assigned and it wouldn't matter if she didn't finish it.

"No no no. If I wanted to go shopping with my brother, we could go every day. But my dear sister Ranran doesn't live close to me. It's rare for me to get you to come shopping with me." As Ronglan said this, she put a bottle of Coke and a bottle of orange juice into the cart.

Bai Rongran: "Your persuasion skills..." are truly becoming more and more masterful.

After strolling around the snack section, the shopping cart was already half - full.

Throughout the whole process, it was Ronglan who put things into the cart. Bai Rongran didn't even put a single pack of cookies.

After leaving the snack section, Ronglan dragged Bai Rongran to the deli section. But she didn't go overboard there. She only bought a box of salmon and sweet shrimp sashimi platter and that was it.

Since the ghost Bai Ronglan liked seafood, it should also like salmon. If salmon didn't go bad after being stored for too long, she would even buy two or three boxes and send them all to the ghost Bai Ronglan.

"By the way, before Chu Chuan completely falls, Ranran, you should be careful. It's best not to go out alone." As they were pushing the cart and queuing at the cashier, Ronglan finally remembered that she hadn't reminded her younger sister to be on guard against Chu Chuan. "He must be able to figure out that you're the one targeting him. I'm afraid he'll go crazy and kidnap you to threaten us."

"Don't worry. I will. I value my life." If she wasn't with Ronglan, whose combat strength was off the charts, she would definitely bring bodyguards with her. Because she knew Chu Chuan was the kind of person who would stop at nothing.

"That's good."

Finally, after leaving the supermarket, Ronglan and Bai Rongran each carried a big bag.

Afraid that Ronglan couldn't carry the bag alone, Bai Rongran even acted like a good sister and helped Ronglan carry the bag to the door of her house before going back to the Bai family.

When Ronglan got home and just changed her shoes, the little ragdoll cat ran out.

"Meow~"

Ronglan stretched out her hand, letting the little ragdoll cat rub its head against her palm affectionately. "Is little Amber scared being at home alone?"

"Meow~" The little ragdoll cat tilted its head, with a hint of confusion in its pupils, as if asking why mom had suddenly turned back into a human again. Her ears and tail were gone.

"Hey? Does little Amber not recognize me?" Ronglan scratched the little ragdoll cat's chin and covered her mouth to laugh.

"Meow~" Chu Amber stomped its paws. How could it be such a stupid cat that couldn't recognize its mom.

"Okay okay okay. I knew little Amber is the smartest. You can recognize me no matter what I look like." Ronglan stopped teasing the cat. She picked up the little ragdoll cat with one hand and carried the two big bags with the other, walking towards the balcony. "I'll take you to do something important! It's getting late. We must finish this important thing before your dad gets home."
