CHAPTER 1455: CHAPTER 1378: ONCE YOUNG AND RECKLESS

And now, the only thing that could make the other party feel better is her being upset.

At night, Ye Ranran was seated at her computer, searching for information about that bracelet. Wen Li pushed the door open and walked right in: "What happened this afternoon?"

"Nothing." Ye Ranran didn’t even look up.

"How can you let people bully you?" Wen Li closed her laptop screen, forcing her to face him.

Ye Ranran raised her head and looked at him with amusement: "Who’s bullying me? Aren’t I perfectly fine?"

"Since you don’t like him anymore, how about we switch your department? I can tell life hasn’t been great for you there."

He had suggested this to her in the past, but she steadfastly refused. Bringing it up again this time, he still felt somewhat unsure.

"Alright, I’ll go along with what you arrange, big brother." Ye Ranran didn’t refuse.

Wen Li’s face lit up with joy: "Really? Then I’ll discuss this with Mom and Dad and see about moving you to an easier department."

"Fine, but let’s keep it lowkey for now. Things are tense, and it wouldn’t be good for us to end up as someone’s scapegoat."

A warning to others by making an example—if they ended up being the example, there’d be nowhere to cry about it.

"Mm, I understand. But switching departments will take some time. Until it’s finalized, you’ll have to bear with it a little longer. Still, if anyone crosses the line, don’t hold back. No daughter of the Wen Family should have to endure mistreatment."

The fiery-tempered Wen Cai was wild in her youth. Spoiled from childhood, she had never suffered grievances. She’d always been the one antagonizing others, not the other way around.

Later, she was refined and reshaped by Fu Rong, smoothed out her sharp edges. Experiencing the ups and downs of life, seeing more and understanding more, she had steadily grown calmer over the past two years.

"I understand, big brother. But what’s the rush? If action’s needed, it’s better to strike when the chaos begins, isn’t it?" Ye Ranran’s gaze was tranquil, carrying a chilling undertone.

Dogs that bite usually don’t bark.

Wen Li didn’t think much of it, instead feeling gratified: "Good, as long as you understand. I’ve got something to deal with, need to step out for a bit."

"Is it for another matchmaking meeting? Which girl’s family did you arrange with today?"

Wen Li was two years older than her, now thirty. In college, he had dated one girl whose family wasn’t well-off and wanted to marry rich.

From the start of their relationship, Wen Li had thought of casually trying things out without revealing his family background. Having been raised with strict manners, boasting about his parents never crossed his mind.

Achievements belonged to his parents; what did they have to do with him?

Gradually, he began to take the relationship seriously. He hoped she genuinely liked him for himself, not for his family’s power and wealth.

He planned to tell her everything upon graduating. If she was willing to stay with him, he would marry her and take care of her family.

He couldn’t promise unparalleled power or immense riches, but ensuring a comfortable life was within his grasp.

Unexpectedly, before graduation, before he even had the chance to say anything, she preemptively broke up with him.

Oh, and she even said he was just a broke student. Why should she waste her youth with him?

Wen Li didn’t quarrel with her, parting amicably.

When Ye Ranran found out, she didn’t say much. But the next day, she drove a multimillion-dollar supercar to Wen Li’s school to pick him up.

She timed it just right for when his class let out. Wearing a blue blouse, black pleated A-line skirt, and long, straight jet-black hair that gleamed like silk.

A gentle breeze blew by, lifting the ends of her hair—just faintly, you could almost catch a hint of its fragrance from afar.

Leaning against the car with casual poise, she cheerfully called out to him, "Big brother."

The girl’s face contorted in shock.
