Chapter 37 "Gifts"



The next few days passed without problem. Ran Xueyi was able to meet the people sent by Senhe fashion house and finished signing the contract. Andrea Torres, the head designer and heiress of the company was also there to personally see her sign her name on the contract, beaming with a smile reaching her ears as soon as everything was finalized.

That day, Ran Xueyi was dragged around by Andrea\'s enthusiasm. No one knows who was the local and who was the foreigner between the two of them as despite being born in that city, it seems like Andrea knew more of the tourist spots in the city more than her, a local.

Thus, after they hopped through different spots and bought a lot of souvenirs and other things, Ran Xueyi returned home, she felt as if her arms and feet were about to fall off.

However, as soon as she entered the passcode and opened the door, she saw a stack of shopping bags and boxes of shoes and jewelry in the corner of the living room.

Hearing the click of the heels against the floor, Aunt Shu peeked her head out of the kitchen and said, "You\'re home? It must have been tiring."

Ran Xueyi nodded honestly and went straight to sit on the sofa, not caring about her posture at all and slumped in it. "It\'s been a while since I\'ve toured around the city."

"How was it?"

"It was nice..." Ran Xueyi answered, showing a bitter smile on her lips.

When they were touring around the city, Ran Xueyi was not only shocked at the things she saw outside, she was also mocking herself while seeing them around. For six years, she didn\'t try to look around her and surround herself with the beautiful things the city could offer and instead, she revolved herself in a world so tiny that it even has a label named: Yang Baihua tagged on it.

For years, she thought if she poured everything into him, she could achieve a love so pure and innocent, that it would surely take a lifetime of happiness. And that Yang Baihua would also do the same for her. Unfortunately, she blinded herself with love and made herself a fool willingly.

It was not that Ran Xueyi was too stupid that she couldn\'t see the sign and didn\'t doubt anything at all. There was a tiny voice inside her head that told her that something was not right while she danced around all over their palms. And besides, even if she listened to that tiny voice in her head, who could have told her that everyone around her was deceiving her and lying to her for years? That they would collude with each other to pull the rag over her eyes and make her so blind?

That\'s right...

Ran Xueyi was not a stupid girl who blindly believed in love. It was just that people made her blind with their lies.

Shaking away the feeling of emptiness in her heart, Ran Xueyi turned her head and saw the pile of boxes and bags in the corner like an eyesore. She stood up and slowly approached before she finally asked, "Who sent this, Aunt Shu?"

Aunt Shu wiped her hands on her apron and stood by her side. While smiling, she replied, "Young Master sent it for you. He said his friend gifted it to him and sent it back here for you to use since it\'s all what women liked."

Ran Xueyi picked up one of the boxes at the top of the stack and scrutinized it.

This XX brand that was highly sought after by young ladies from prominent families was gifted?

Ran Xueyi highly doubted it.

She picked up another box and opened it. The silver shoes with the red sole were very beautiful. This pair alone was around six thousand dollars. Looking at the several boxes piled on top of the other, Ran Xueyi felt pain in her heart.

Even if she was an heiress of a local tyrant in the city, she would never spend money like water and buy these things in one sitting. Besides, these brands were something that would take a few weeks to get and needed a reservation that was impossible to get unless you were one of the VIPs.

Ran Xueyi had no doubt that Song Yu Han did his magic and was one of the top VIP and thus, it was possible for him to achieve such an impossible feat.

As for him saying it was a gift from a friend... Ran Xueyi didn\'t need to guess and ignored this fact. Out of sight, out of mind.

She turned to Aunt Shu and said, "This is too much... I still have a lot of things I own so I hope Aunt Shu could take a few for your daughters and daughter-in-law." Without waiting for Aunt Shu to refuse, she added, "It\'d be a bit too wasteful if I just throw them in the corner of my closet and never use them because I forgot about them."

Aunt Shu couldn\'t refuse and she couldn\'t stop the young lady before her, so she gave up and called her daughters and daughter-in-law to ask them about their sizes. Soon after, Aunt Shu stared at the small mountain of shoes next to her and stared at the back of the young master\'s wife as she went upstairs.

At night, Ran Xueyi laid on the bed and thought of the things she must do. It had been too long since she made a move against her family. She was preoccupied with other things that she almost forgot about their existence.

Right now, the Ran family must have already prepared a back up plan after she didn\'t show up. The Yang family might also have been putting pressure on her parents to stop the annulment of engagement between her and Yang Baihua.

But what to do? Even if her parents didn\'t want to break off the engagement, this was no longer the era where parents could do as they please and force their children to marry.

Looking at the ring in her hand, Ran Xueyi slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep without worry.
