After being dumped, I turned around and married my ex-boyfriend's younger brother.

Chapter 69 Ordinary Friends

Telephone……

Thinking of this, Su Yiran jumped off the bed and rummaged through her bag.

Meng Ran looked at her in confusion, "What's wrong? What are you looking for?"

"Looking for my phone."

She turned on airplane mode after boarding the plane, and her phone has remained in airplane mode ever since.

but……

Su Yiran searched around but couldn't find her phone. She had a bad feeling. "Ranran, I have something to tell you."

Meng Ran was startled by her reaction. "What's wrong? Why are you so serious? Don't scare me!"

Su Yiran winked at her, "My phone is missing."

"..."

"I kept it in my bag the whole time, and now I can't find it."

"Have you looked into everything?"

"I've looked for it."

Su Yiran rummaged through her bag but found no trace of it. She tried hard to recall what had happened on her way from Kyoto to Shenzhen and then to the hotel.

"I remember now."

Su Yiran patted her head and said, "When we came out of the airport, there was a line of fans waiting to pick us up. It was so crowded that we barely managed to squeeze through. It's probably when someone took it from us."

Meng Ran looked at her and asked, "Why would I just take your phone? Anything in your bag is worth more than your phone."

"..."

Su Yiran pouted, "The others don't have labels, so they're worthless."

These items are all custom-made, so they wouldn't be labeled casually. She just tossed her necklaces and bracelets into her bag without a second thought. It seems that her phone is more valuable.

"..."

Meng Ran gasped and nodded in agreement.

At the same time, there was a knock on the hotel room door from the outside.

The two men exchanged a glance and asked warily, "Who is it?"

A voice came from outside the door, "I'm from the hotel reception. A gentleman just opened a bag and said it was yours."

gentlemen?

Su Yiran raised an eyebrow and looked at Meng Ran, "Do you have a lover in Shenzhen?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? If it's true, it's yours. Don't try to pin it on me!"

Meng Ran retorted, "Yes, I have." She glanced outside through the peephole and saw that it was indeed the hotel receptionist she had just seen. She opened the door and looked at the bag handed to her. "Is this for us?"

"Yes."

The receptionist nodded. "He showed me your photos before I brought them up."

Meng Ran took the bag from Su Yiran, glanced at her, and carefully opened it. Inside was a cell phone.

"Yiyi, this is your phone!"

Meng Ran handed the phone to Su Yiran.

Su Yiran stared blankly at her recovered phone for a long while. Noticing a note in the bag, she quickly asked, "Is that gentleman still there?"

The receptionist said, "I was just in the front desk reception room. If you need anything, I'll go down and check on you."

"No need, I can go down myself."

"Oh, Yiyi!"

Meng Ran was bewildered by Su Yiran, and hurriedly followed her downstairs after closing the door.

"you know?"

Meng Ran looked at her and said, "So you had a lover in Shenzhen and used me as a cover to get me here. Yi Yi, you can't do this to me. If Mr. Gu finds out, it will really affect innocent people."

"No, just ordinary friends."

Su Yiran held the note, "I'm still not sure if it's him..."

Ding!

The elevator doors opened, and a familiar yet unfamiliar face came into view. Su Yiran stood there, stunned for a long while.

The man in black smiled at her, "You've grown up, so you don't recognize me anymore?"

"Sheng Jiahe!"

"it's me."

Su Yiran hugged Sheng Jiahe with delight, which startled Meng Ran, who quickly looked around, fearing that Gu Yanli's spies might be watching and she would be in trouble.

Sister, you're married, don't you know how to be more careful? Hugging other men in public, aren't you afraid Mr. Gu will be unhappy?

She now has the strange feeling that the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is.

Oh no.

What do you mean, the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is!

Was she a eunuch?

What the hell!

restaurant.

To repay Sheng Jiahe for finding her phone, and also to celebrate their reunion after many years, Su Yiran treated everyone to a meal.

"This is my good friend in Kyoto, Meng Ran."

Su Yiran began the introduction, "This is my good friend from childhood, Sheng Jiahe."

The two nodded slightly.

"You're making it sound like we were just good friends when we were kids, and now we're not friends anymore?"

Sheng Jiahe smiled at her, then looked down at the dishes, "This tofu and lotus root slices are your favorites, and this..."

Meng Ran, who was standing to the side, raised an eyebrow and whispered in Su Yiran's ear, "He knows you very well, your relationship is more than just ordinary?"

Su Yiran nudged Meng Ran, "Stop fooling around, we're just ordinary friends."

Meng Ran pouted. Sheng Jiahe ordered a few dishes and then handed the menu to the two girls.

"It's been more than ten years since we last saw each other."

Sheng Jiahe looked at Su Yiran and asked, "How have you been living in Kyoto all these years? I heard that your aunt has a new family. Are they treating you well?"

What a load of rubbish! Forget about whether the Liu family treats her well or not, even her own mother treats her badly.

Meng Ran mentally went through a series of bitter thoughts.

"It's just like that, we get by."

Su Yiran didn't want to talk about the past few years. "What about you? Why did you suddenly come to Shenzhen? Or have you always been in Shenzhen?"

“I studied at university here and have stayed here ever since I graduated.”

Sheng Jiahe said, "Over the years, I've felt that this place is pretty good, so I settled down in Shenzhen. Does Yiyi have any plans to develop her career here?"

"I haven't thought about that." Su Yiran shook her head. "By the way, how did you know this phone was mine, and how did you know I live here?"

"I just got back from a business trip today, and we were on the same flight. I recognized you before, but it's been more than ten years. If I went over there suddenly and mistook you for someone else, it would be awkward. When I was leaving the airport, I happened to see someone sneaking around, which gave me the opportunity to meet you."

"So you also drew a little bear."

Su Yiran smiled and took out the note, "After all these years, your drawing skills still haven't improved."

The little bear on the note was terribly ugly, but she recognized it immediately as someone's work.

Halfway through the meal, Sheng Jiahe received a work call and had to rush back home.

"It's okay, we'll make it another time."

"Okay, I know a good dim sum restaurant in Shenzhen. I'll take you there to try it next time."

Su Yiran nodded.

After Sheng Jiahe left, Meng Ran, who had been holding back the whole time, suddenly started talking, saying, "I felt like a third wheel between you guys just now. I even had an excuse to run away. But seriously, are you really just ordinary friends?"

"real."

Su Yiran nodded, "We haven't seen each other for so many years, what kind of relationship could we have? Let's eat, we've ordered so much food, we can't waste it."

"Ok."

Meng Ran stopped asking questions and changed the subject, talking about other things.

Su Yiran's phone was dead. Back at the hotel, she had just plugged it in when a bunch of missed calls came in from the same number. The next second, another call came in, and her first instinct was to throw it at Meng Ran.
