Chapter 60: Trying out what I just learned
After thinking for a moment, Lan Ruoxin took out her phone and said to Mo Xunhuan, "Send me your video. I'll handle this."
"You? What are you going to do about it?" Mo Xunhuan asked, puzzled.
"You don't need to ask so many questions, just leave it to me." With that, Lan Ruoxin got up, walked to the window, and dialed a number.
Meanwhile, on the top floor of a high-rise building in Shanghai, a cold and aloof female CEO, sitting in her office chair, answered a phone call and began chatting in a detached tone.
"what?"
Hearing that cold yet familiar voice, Lan Ruoxin frowned and forced back her disgust as she said, "I need your help with something. A friend of mine was bullied by some thugs and needs to be taught a lesson."
"A petty thug?" Lan Ruobing retorted impatiently, "Don't you know I'm busy? Why are you coming to me instead of the police? I'm hanging up!"
"Wait a moment."
"What's wrong now?"
Lan Ruoxin took a deep breath and said calmly, "I'll send you a video. You'll understand after you watch it."
After saying that, Lan Ruoxin hung up the phone.
Hearing the disconnection message, Lan Ruobing snorted disdainfully and opened the chat app. Sure enough, her sister had sent a video.
"How boring. How old are you? You're still acting like a child, meddling in these trivial matters."
While complaining, Lan Ruobing opened the video. What came into view was a group of non-mainstream figures dressed in different styles in an alley, accompanied by the sound of the person filming them arguing.
As the group of non-mainstream individuals tried to rush up and attack the photographer, the person behind them finally came into view. The familiar face caused Lan Ruobing's expression to change instantly, and she clenched her fists, the veins on her arms bulging.
"Who are you talking to on the phone?" Mo Xunhuan asked Lan Ruoxin curiously from the principal's office.
Lan Ruoxin fiddled with her phone, silently counting down in her mind, and waved to Mo Xunhuan.
The next second, sure enough, the phone rang.
"Feed".
"How did you take care of him? How could he have suffered like this?" As soon as the call connected, her sister's angry voice came through.
Although Lan Ruoxin was angry, she calmly said, "I had something to do that day and wasn't at the kindergarten. I never expected him to encounter something like this. Also, you have no right to criticize me. Whether in the past or now, you are the one who hurt him the most, the most useless piece of trash, understand?"
Upon hearing this, Lan Ruobing on the other end of the phone fell silent. Faced with her sister's accusations, she couldn't get angry because she was the older sister; instead, she felt a deep sense of guilt and helplessness.
Because she understood that she owed Mo Xunhuan far too much.
Lan Ruobing took a deep breath and said, "Leave this to me. I'll deal with those guys, and... the person behind them."
"Well, I hope you'd better hurry. People like them will definitely retaliate again if you don't want him to be bullied again." After saying that, Lan Ruoxin hung up the phone.
Seeing Lan Ruoxin walk over and sit down beside him, Mo Xunhuan asked, "You're not calling her again, are you?"
Lan Ruoxin, who was about to pick up her chopsticks to eat, paused, put down her chopsticks, picked up her water glass, took a sip, and said with her head down, "Although I don't want to admit it, I've never been able to handle things like this since I was a child. To put it bluntly, I'm just a bookworm. But my sister is different; it's most suitable for her to handle this kind of thing."
Seeing her gloomy expression, Mo Xunhuan, who was good at observing people's hearts, could naturally sense her mood. He patted her shoulder and comforted her, "It's fine to leave it to her to handle. You don't need to force yourself to do something you're not good at."
"And what about you? Aren't you angry with me? I didn't protect you at the crucial moment, and I couldn't even help you with something like this, so you had to beg her."
"Of course I'm not angry. Why would I be angry with you over something like this? It wasn't your fault to begin with, and besides, you've already helped me. If you hadn't helped me contact her, this would have given me a headache for a long time," Mo Xunhuan comforted her with a smile.
Hearing his words, Lan Ruoxin's originally gloomy and complicated mood finally calmed down a lot, and she couldn't help but lean on his shoulder.
"To be honest, I really don't want to call her, I don't want her to have any contact with you again, and hurt you again like she did in the past."
"I understand, and I think she understands too, which is why she hasn't appeared by my side all this time, isn't that right?" Mo Xunhuan gently stroked her head and used his chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat and bring it to her mouth.
Lan Ruoxin gladly accepted his feeding, enjoying the warmth of the moment. She unconsciously forgot her troubles, and instead, the overly quiet atmosphere gradually stirred within her a little…impulsiveness.
"Here, have another piece!"
When Mo Xunhuan offered her meat again, Lan Ruoxin shook her head and stood up.
"No, you eat it!"
"Hmm? What's wrong? Is the food not good today? Are you full so quickly?" Mo Xunhuan asked in confusion.
"No, I just wanted to try something different, and also try out something I just learned." As she spoke, Lan Ruoxin tied her hair up with a hair tie and then moved the table away.
Seeing her grand entourage, Mo Xunhuan immediately understood her purpose and asked nervously, "Are you sure you want to do it now? This is an office, can't we...?"
"It's alright, the door is locked from the inside, no one will come in." Lan Ruoxin walked up to him, slowly bent down and knelt down, and winked at him.
"Don't worry, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

In the afternoon, as kindergarten let out, Mo Xunhuan and Lu Qingqing got into Lan Ruoxin's car.
"Don't rush back today. Lin Yue told me it's his daughter's birthday and invited me to attend," Mo Xunhuan reminded him.
"Is it Pingping's birthday? That's perfect, he invited me too, let's go together!" With that, Lan Ruoxin started the car.
Before arriving at the hotel, the two went to a nearby toy store to buy gifts for the child.
As soon as he entered, he ran into Li Xin, who was picking out gifts. When he saw Mo Xunhuan and Lan Ruoxin come in together, he became extremely jealous.
"What a coincidence, running into you two on a date, with a child too, that's interesting!" Li Xin said sarcastically.
"Watch your mouth, we're here for Pingping's birthday," Mo Xunhuan retorted.
"Li Xin, do you still have any professional ethics as a teacher? How could you say such things in front of children?" Lan Ruoxin questioned coldly.
Li Xin scoffed dismissively, crossed her arms, and said, "So what? This is his child, not mine. Besides, Principal Lan, you should be more discreet. Chef Mo is already married with a wife and children. Why are you always bothering him? Do you want to…?"
