Chapter 997

“Do you think she really wants to learn skills from Thousand-faced Faceless? Or does she want Thousand-faced Faceless to go against the Alderson people?” An Yi squinted his eyes over there, “After all, Thousand-faced Faceless has never encountered Alderson’s people before p>

Thousand-faced Faceless used to be active in Las Vegas, breaking Slav Alderson’s records more than once.

Presumably, he also made a name for himself with the Alderson family.

“How are you so sure she doesn’t want to recruit him?” Su Ran glanced at Mo Shangjie, who had just finished a friendly conversation with An 2, “Alright, don’t worry about this, I have other things to attend to on my side, I’m hanging up now p>

An Yi swallowed back his words reluctantly, sighing again as he looked at the phone.

As Su Ran and the others walked out of the tunnel, Chu Jiyang was still waiting for them at the original spot.

Only now there was an extra chair from somewhere, and Chu Jiyang sat on it, with the people arranged by Su Ran standing straight behind him.

Seeing this, not only Su Ran, but even Mo Shangjie was a bit surprised.

“Uncle Chu, you haven’t gone back yet p>

Uncle Chu is really warm-hearted, waiting for them here.

Chu Jiyang stood up, his gaze falling on Su Ran.

“Well, since I promised Ah Ling, I should see with my own eyes that you all are safe p>

Mo Shangjie was instantly moved to tears.

There was a glimmer in Su Ran’s eyes as she stepped forward, her eyes calm once more.

She looked at Chu Jiyang, her tone humble and polite.

“Mr. Chu, thank you for today p>

“You’re welcome, President Su p>

Chu Jiyang smiled, his features like Jiangnan’s misty rain, his voice gentle, the previous ethereal aura completely vanished.

“If President Su doesn’t mind, just call me Uncle Chu like Shangjie does p>

Before Su Ran could say anything, Mo Shangjie jumped in.

“Yeah, sis-in-law, calling him Mr. Chu is too distant. Given the relationship between the Fu and Chu families, calling him Uncle Chu is perfectly reasonable p>

“You and the boss are already legally together, why so distant p>

“I’m not boasting, if Uncle Chu had a daughter, the marriage between the Fu and Chu families would have been settled long ago, where would there be room for Chu Xiyao to bounce around everywhere p>

Su Ran smiled at him.

Could she sew his mouth shut?

However, Mo Shangjie didn’t notice Su Ran’s death glare and continued speaking to Chu Jiyang:

“Uncle Chu, you shouldn’t call sis-in-law President Su either, what elder calls a junior that way p>

“You should just call her Xiao Ran, it sounds more intimate p>

“What are you all staring at me for p>

Su Ran: p>

Chu Jiyang: p>

With Mo Shangjie’s words, the atmosphere became somewhat inexplicable.

Su Ran looked at Chu Jiyang with a strange expression, she and Chu Xiyao were like fire and water.

Yet he asked her to call him uncle, is it really okay?

Chu Jiyang took in the expression on Su Ran’s face, his elegant brows like a breeze brushing the water’s surface, rippling, all the surroundings instantly lost color.

Su Ran furrowed her brow slightly, inexplicably feeling a faint sense of familiarity with the person before her.

In her moment of distraction, a gentle voice suddenly broke through—

“Xiao Ran p>

The light in Su Ran’s eyes instantly condensed as she looked into those gentle, jade-like eyes, suddenly finding it hard to refuse.

She sighed softly in her heart before speaking, “Uncle Chu p>

Chu Jiyang’s eyelashes fluttered, the gentle light in his eyes reflecting fine shadows.

He smiled softly, his features warm.

“If there’s nothing else, let’s leave here first p>

Su Ran nodded, this wasn’t the place to have a leisurely chat.
