Chapter 341: Chapter 341: Rear-End Collision Incident

Bo Yan had been gone for a while, and so long had Yuran been lost in thought.

Especially the last thing Bo Yan said had made quite an impact on her.

She hugged her knees, spacing out on the bed for a good while, and when she got up to have breakfast, she realized that everything had gone cold.

She pouted, carried the breakfast out of the room, and then went to the kitchen to fry herself an egg.

Staying at home was really boring, so she decided to check up on Kang’s progress at the company with Meng Qiuyan.

She checked the time; it was still early, just past eight in the morning, so she would have enough time to return home and wait for Bo Yan to pick her up.

With her mind made up, she quickly finished her breakfast, picked a car, and headed straight for the company.

If Yuran had known she would get into a car accident on the overpass, she definitely wouldn’t have left the house today.

Fortunately, it was just a fender bender; it wasn’t serious.

The driver ahead got out, came over to her car, and knocked on her window, "Knock knock knock..."

Yuran rolled down the window and saw the driver’s expressionless face—neither pleased nor unhappy—in short, a poker face.

She promptly opened the car door and got out to inspect the other car’s rear end, then said to the driver, "I’m sorry about this. I will cover the repair costs; here is my business card."

Although she wasn’t very famous, there were still people who recognized her, which is why she was wearing a mask. Due to the special circumstances, she had no choice but to pull the mask aside.

The driver nodded, tapped on the rear seat’s window, which was half-lowered, and Yuran saw a bewitchingly cold face. The distance was neither close nor far, and she couldn’t hear what the driver was saying to the man.

A few minutes later, the driver approached her, "Miss, the Young Master would like to have a word with you upfront."

A sense of unease crept inside Yuran. This person was putting on quite the airs. Since she was at fault, she held back.

She followed a few steps behind the driver, and the man’s face came fully into her view—bewitching with a trace of coldness, a forbidding look in his eyes, exuding an intimidating presence without anger.

Upon closer inspection, he seemed to radiate a deep malevolence.

She felt this face seemed familiar, yet she couldn’t place it. Recovering quickly, she explained, "Sorry, sir, it was an accident. I’ll take full responsibility for the damages. I’ve given the driver my card; you can contact me for the compensation arrangements."

The man’s half-lowered gaze lifted, and right after that, Yuran caught sight of his deep blue eyes. Mixed-race?

As the man remained silent, Yuran, feeling awkward, spoke to the driver, "If you need compensation right now, that’s fine too; just give me a figure and I’ll transfer the money immediately.

Staying here without moving feels quite embarrassing, as we’re blocking others."

The driver had already handed his business card to the man, who lowered his gaze to scan it, "Yuran..."

Yuran frowned, looking over just as her gaze met the man’s. He was holding out a business card, "This is my card; I’ll contact you about the compensation."

Yuran observed his almost transparently pale complexion under the sunlight, zoning out briefly before taking the business card and nodding, "Okay."

The Maybach quickly drove off, and Yuran put her mask back on and headed straight for the company. As soon as she entered Qi Younian’s office, she threw the keys to him and reached out her hand, "Qi Younian, lend me your car; you take mine to get repaired."

Qi Younian frowned slightly. He hadn’t any objections to her taking his car or getting his own repaired by her, but her tone sounded off.

"Your car..."

Yuran took the coffee from his hands and took a sip. She sat down in the resting area and began to explain, "Don’t even mention it. There was an accident on the elevated road, and I hit a Maybach. The left headlight of my car must be damaged.

I gave the other party my business card, but the phone number on it is yours, so you’ll need to handle it for me when the time comes."

"Are you okay?" Qi Younian looked at her with concern.

Yuran waved her hand, "I’m fine, and the other party wasn’t difficult to deal with. It was quite amicable."

Qi Younian couldn’t help but feel helpless, "If Bo Yan, the great film star, found out you were in an accident, he’d be beside himself with worry. Couldn’t you take it easy and not be so reckless next time?"

Yuran touched her nose and nodded repeatedly, showing a very good attitude in admitting her error.

A few minutes later, Kang Zhenyu also arrived at the office. Upon seeing Yuran, he expressed some surprise, "President Yu..."

Yuran gestured dismissively, "There’s no need for formalities, Brother Kang. How is the investigation going regarding Meng Qiuyan? Are you confident that we can sign her?"

Kang Zhenyu’s expression was solemn and slightly strange as he took a seat in the resting area, "President Yu, let me first report back to you about this matter."

Yuran nodded, "Alright."

Kang Zhenyu began, "I originally thought that Meng Qiuyan’s contract was just slightly complicated and that it wouldn’t be difficult to resolve. But I didn’t expect her backstory to be even more complicated.

I have a friend who knows some things about Meng Qiuyan. I mentioned to my friend that I wanted to sign Meng Qiuyan, and he told me it would probably be difficult. So, last night, I went to see my friend immediately.

From what he told me, the backstory isn’t overly complex, but it’s still somewhat complicated."

Yuran frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "Let’s hear it."

Kang Zhenyu nodded, "The reason Meng Qiuyan’s contract is with Xusheng is that Xusheng’s CEO, Meng Xusheng, is her stepfather, and her mother remarried him.

Theoretically, with such a relationship, Meng Qiuyan should be in a different position at Xusheng, yet she is treated no differently.

The reasons are several. First, Meng Qiuyan is naturally beautiful. Her stepfather, upon seeing her beauty, had unscrupulous intentions. When Meng Qiuyan refused to comply, he pressured her to conform, such as signing her up for work as a cash cow.

The bargaining chip is Meng Qiuyan’s mother, who is weak-willed and refuses to leave the Meng Family with Meng Qiuyan, thus constantly holding her back. And Meng Qiuyan herself has not compromised, steadfastly enduring her work.

Secondly, Xusheng wants to use Meng Qiuyan as a major bargaining chip in exchange for more benefits. When Meng Qiuyan refused again, that’s why she’s been oppressed so much.

Because of her mother, I feel that signing Meng Qiuyan is an uncertainty unless her mother really starts thinking of her best interests."

Qi Younian was baffled, "Can a mother even do such things? If I had a mother like that, I’d be driven to my grave with frustration."

Kang Zhenyu laughed. He had seen too many of humanity’s darkest moments, so he didn’t find the situation too unthinkable, "President Qi, Meng Qiuyan’s mother is a traditional, cowardly, and selfish woman. To her, only the things she likes are important. Her children, husband, and relatives, none are important to her. But I also wonder why she insists on being a nominal Madam at Xusheng."

All of this, in fact, doesn’t quite make sense, as if she doesn’t want her daughter to have a good life, draining her until she’s dead.

Such a mother is truly... a disaster.

Yet Yuran was silent, not saying a word. When both of them looked over, she blinked and spoke softly, "Brother Kang, arrange for me to meet Meng Qiuyan."
