Chapter 2083. Care (3)
When Leng Xinran changed into a clean set of clothes and went downstairs, Lan Xiu was sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking at the documents that Ah Li had just sent over. When he heard footsteps coming from upstairs, he raised his head.
Leng Xinran had already changed into a clean and tidy gray casual outfit for women. She habitually tied her hair into a bun, revealing her beautiful little face. However, she still looked a little pale and weak.
Seeing her coming over, Lan Xiu pointed to the sofa at the side and gestured for her to sit down. He closed the document in his hand and poured her a glass of water.
“Thank you.”
Leng Xinran sat down and took it as well. She took a sip symbolically.
“I’ve already applied for leave from the teacher for your class. You’re not feeling well these two days, so you should stay at home and rest. No matter how important your work is, it’s not as important as your health. While there is life, there is hope,” Lan Xiu said slowly.
She did not refute him. Instead, she nodded obediently and held the warm cup of water with both hands. “Have you been taking care of me for the entire day and night?” Leng Xinran asked, her starry eyes looking at him leisurely.
Hearing this, Lan Xiu also raised his gaze and did not say anything. However, the exhaustion between his brows replaced all his answers.
Leng Xinran lowered her eyes, and her voice was a little dry. “Thank you, I’m sorry to bother you.”
“Since you’re so grateful, why don’t you consider my suggestion? It’s not bad to have someone to take care of you. I may not be able to give you love, but I’ll do my best to satisfy everything else you want.”
Lan Xiu spoke very seriously.
He was very calm. The reason why he said that was because he thought that he might never be able to love again. He knew very well how deep his feelings for Dongfang Liuyun were.
Love?
Leng Xinran listened, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.
This thing was probably the thing that she did not need the most. The thing that she cared about had long been lost. Perhaps it was the best way to describe her as a walking corpse.
She was a person who had no hope for the future.
She lowered her head and took a sip of water. “I can’t give you this thing either. As long as you can let me live a peaceful life, I don’t care even if I had to give you the Leng Group.”
As soon as she said this, Lan Xiu immediately frowned. He hurriedly raised his head to look at her. He could actually see a trace of deathly stillness in her eyes!
“I can agree to your proposal, but I also don’t want to accept a worthless marriage alliance.”
“What do you want?”
Lan Xiu narrowed his eyes and looked at her with some surprise.
“First, I want you to assist me in pushing out all of Ye Xiaolian’s people and relationships from the Leng Group within three months. Second, help me set up a foundation. Every year, 20% of the profits of the Leng Group will be invested into this foundation. It will be used to help the children in society who have leukemia and don’t have the money to treat them. Third, you must ensure that my status is above any of your women.”
Leng Xinran clearly stated her requirements, her bright eyes as bright as the stars.
Lan Xiu listened and carefully thought about it
They had been dating her for nearly half a year, so he naturally knew that she would not go back on her word.
Moreover, the conditions she proposed seemed to be related to the people she cared about, right?
Pushing Ye Xiaolian out of the Leng Group, the leukemia foundation, and ensuring her status?
Which one of these did not have something to do with her mother and sister?
Leng Mingyi letting Ye Xiaolian rise to the top must have violated a big taboo in her heart. It seemed that Ye Xiaolian had already…
“You have to think it through. It doesn’t seem very good for me to interfere in the Leng Group’s affairs as an outsider.”
Lan Xiu thought about it carefully for a moment and then made it clear.
Leng Xinran was silent for a moment. Then, she suddenly raised her eyes and looked at him. “Can I trust you?”
Hearing her question, Lan Xiu’s eyes also darkened. After thinking for a moment, he looked at her and said in a deep voice, “Yes.”
Hearing this, Leng Xinran nodded. “Okay, I’ve negotiated quite a number of shares during this period of time. I’ll buy them in secret and put them under your name. This way, you can participate in the management of the company as one of the shareholders.”
Hearing this, Lan Xiu was also a little surprised. He did not expect Leng Xinran, who was usually cold and indifferent, to be so quick and ruthless when it came to handling the management of these companies!
Previously, Leng Mingyi wanted to take back the scattered shares of the company, but the shareholders did not seem to agree either. He did not expect Leng Xinran to be able to take them down?
“Moreover, with the identity of the future son-in-law of the Leng family, you can do whatever you want,” Leng Xin said with determination in her eyes.
Lan Xiu thought for a moment and felt that this arrangement was not bad. “This idea is not bad. If that’s the case, we need to form a strong fortress.”
“As long as it’s not a matter of principle, I won’t mind.”
“But what I’m most worried about is that you won’t mind. You won’t pursue anything, and you won’t know where to start. If we have a common goal, you’ll be able to better determine the direction.”
Lan Xiu’s low voice sounded, and his gaze softened a little. “We’re still very young. We’re not like those people who live to 70 or 80 ears old, how could you say that we don’t have any desires?”
“Because I don’t know what I can pursue. In the past, I would have been satisfied if I could pursue a life of peace and worry-free by my side. But now, I haven’t seen anything that can be achieved. Now, it’s better to take one step at a time.”
Leng Xinran was very open-minded. She did not hope for much. As long as she could live a peaceful life, she would be satisfied.
Thus, Lan Xiu smiled and looked at her. “I will try my best. Don’t be too pessimistic. Our life shouldn’t be like this.”
Leng Xinran sighed softly at this moment. “I hope that in the future, we can develop according to our predetermined direction. I know that as long as I’m still alive, I’ll need to do something.”
“Yes, who can guarantee that our future life won’t bring us some surprises?”
Lan Xiu’s smile was tinged with some gentleness, it looked moving to Leng Xinran, so she agreed, “You are a little more open-minded than I am, that’s pretty good too. I am worried that the negative energy from me will affect you. I also seem to carry such an ominous label on me, aren’t you worried?”
“If you were really like that, you wouldn’t have such an open-minded state of mind. Xinran, you are actually suitable to be a calm sage,” Lan Xiu said with great admiration.
When Leng Xinran heard this, a trace of a smile immediately appeared on her beautiful face. The clear and cold smile was somewhat refreshing.
“Thank you.”
She still replied in such a polite manner.
Lan Xiu smiled…
