In the distance, Aunt Jiang pulled Jiang Xueli aside after her daughter got off the bus.

I wiped the redness from the corner of my eye with the back of my hand.

Jiang Xueli, anxious, kept asking and even wiped her mother's tears with her hand: "Mom, what's wrong? Tell me, I'm so worried!"

Aunt Jiang shook her head: "Mom is fine, but you are. Mom has a question for you, and you must tell me the truth. This is very important! You can't lie, you know?" Her tone became serious.

Jiang Xueli nodded vigorously: "Okay, I'll tell you whatever you want to know!"

Aunt Jiang swallowed hard and asked tremblingly, "Mom is asking you, did you ask President Lin to come and help our family this time? Otherwise, how would President Lin know about our family's situation?"

"President Lin?" Lily didn't even have time to ask her mother why she called Lin Zhengran that. She hurriedly explained, "He was just here. He overheard the phone conversation and came with me."

"What do you mean 'just right next to me'? Were you two together today?!"

"Yes, we're together. What's wrong?"

"What are you doing together?!"

"I was practicing singing, and he was listening beside me, giving me pointers from time to time."

"In your room?"

"Yes, it's in my bedroom."

Aunt Jiang's eyes trembled, meaning that her daughter had indeed been spending time with that Mr. Lin from time to time these days: "Lily, Mom is asking you, do you still like Ranran?"

Jiang Xueli was even more puzzled: "Why are you suddenly asking this? Of course I like him, he's my boyfriend."

Aunt Jiang's voice trembled: "Then how far have things progressed between you and that President Lin? Have you just had dinner together, or have you already slept together?"

"Huh?" Jiang Xueli's face turned red. She looked around, thankfully no one was paying attention to them. "Mom! What are you saying! There are so many people here."

The other person, however, was very serious, gripping her daughter's arm tightly: "Tell Mom the truth! How far have things progressed? You can't lie to Mom! Tell me now!"

Jiang Xueli lowered her head, clenching her small fists shyly, and said, "Yes...we slept together, I did *that* with him." She looked up, "But what does that have to do with what happened today?!"

Aunt Jiang was struck dumb.

Her own daughter had already slept with that big boss.
Just as her legs gave way and she was about to stumble backward, her husband suddenly came over: "Wife, wife! It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"

Aunt Jiang turned to look at her husband, covering her mouth in despair, and said, "What misunderstanding?! There's no misunderstanding at all." She frowned and whispered, "Lily has already slept with that President Lin! They've already done *that*!"

Uncle Jiang blushed upon hearing this, wondering if his daughter had already done "that" with a boy. But he quickly explained to his wife, "What nonsense! I mean, we're overthinking it. That Mr. Lin is Ranran! Our daughter didn't do anything wrong!"

Aunt Jiang was still crying: "What should we do? What should we do? What did you just say?" She looked up.

Uncle Jiang felt embarrassed and repeated, "I meant President Lin is Lin Zhengran! It's Ranran, not someone else!"

"Ranran? You mean President Lin is Ranran? How is that possible?" Aunt Jiang exclaimed in shock.

"I didn't expect it at first either, but," Uncle Jiang pointed to Pan Lin, who was talking to Lin Zhengran in the distance, "didn't you see that President Pan personally picked up Ranran? So Ranran is President Lin of Zhengshi Company!"

After saying that, she glanced at her daughter again and asked, "And you slept with Ranran? When did that happen?" Jiang Xueli's face turned red: "Mom and Dad, why do you have to talk about this kind of thing? Weren't we here to solve the factory's problems? And you two, explain to me first why you were crying! And why is Mom asking me these questions?"

Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang exchanged a glance, and suddenly the scene became a little awkward.

Half a minute later.

After hearing the reason, Jiang Xueli's eyes immediately turned disdainful and she was speechless, no longer nervous at all.

The couple looked guilty.

Jiang Xueli said numbly:

"Mom and Dad, what kind of imagination do you two have? What are you thinking? How could I be subjected to unspoken rules? And you even said I had dinner with some Mr. Lin? Why do you imagine me having dinner with other men? I'm very loyal, okay? Apart from Zheng Ran, have you ever seen me talk to any other guys?"

Uncle Jiang grunted and chuckled twice: "Well, Dad mainly thought that the big bosses of these companies were middle-aged men in their forties or fifties. Who would have thought it was Ranran? Plus, President Pan said that you and President Lin are very close and often together, so Dad misunderstood."

"Dad...why don't you ask Sister Pan for clarification? She's right there."

"I'm so sorry, Lily..."

Jiang Xueli sighed:
"Although the entertainment industry is a bit chaotic, and there are many girls in our music company who want to be sexually harassed by Zheng Ran, ever since the day I wanted to study music, Zheng Ran has always been by my side protecting me and watching over me. He won't let me be in any danger, so I don't have any trouble in this regard at all, okay?"

She added:

"And even if, hypothetically, our family were to encounter a problem we couldn't solve one day, I would go to Zhengran first to discuss solutions, not to some Mr. Lin that you're imagining. I only like Zhengran, do you two understand?"

The couple nodded.

They said in unison, "We understand. We know you like Ranran. Your parents are overthinking it."

A family obsessed with overthinking.

Aunt Jiang then noticed the blind spot: "Wait a minute, Lily, you just said that many girls in your company want to be sexually harassed by Zheng Ran?"

Jiang Xueli blushed and gave a helpless snort: "Yes, and there are quite a lot of them! Every time Zhengran goes to the company, those guys get excited and try to talk to him, but with me around, that's all they do. None of them can even think about getting close to Zhengran."

After the family finished speaking, they finally went to find Lin Zhengran again.

Lin Zhengran also learned the details from Pan Lin, and when he saw the three of them coming over, he asked, "Lily, have you two made up your minds? Are you alright?"

Uncle Jiang chuckled and quickly smoothed things over: "Ranran... Ah, President Lin, I'm so sorry you had to see this. We're fine, we're just a little upset about what happened."

Aunt Jiang was truly surprised that Ranran would be the boss of such a large company. She couldn't even speak to Lin Zhengran like she used to treat him like a child anymore: "President Ran."

Lin Zhengran grinned: "Uncle and Aunt, please don't call me that. Just call me Ranran. It's too formal to call me President Lin. It makes me not know what to say."

The couple exchanged a glance and nodded with smiles.

Lin Zhengran: "Then let's find a place to sit and chat for a while. Tell me about the situation at the factory." (End of Chapter)
