Chapter 52: Younger Brother
When the two returned home, Nie Fan took the lead in stepping forward, taking Duan Bing's hand and looking at her face, "Xiaoice, you-"
"It's fine. Duan Bing smiled, it was still painful just now, but now it doesn't hurt, it's just a book, and it's not a very heavy thing. Jiang Yun took the procurement belt, looked at Lan Linshi, who was pale, and sighed in his heart.
Lan Linshi also stepped forward to check Duan Bing's forehead, and was relieved to see that there was no problem. Duan Bing looked at Nie Fan and Lan Linshi helplessly, and waved his hand impatiently, "It's okay, you two calm down." "Isn't it just a little swollen? Seeing that Duan Bing's expression was a little anxious, Nie Fan secretly glanced at Lan Linshi.
"Two bosses, I'm going to take a leave of absence for the next few days. Duan Bing didn't see the small movements of the two people. She rubbed her forehead, the indescribable annoyance in her heart. "I'm going to play with my parents. β
Nie Fan shrugged: "You usually go to the publishing house, just like you say." Lan Linshi nodded, "Go ahead, tell me what you need." β
The dinner was made by Jiang Yun and Duan Bing, and the full table was very rich, but no one except Nie Fan had any intention to eat, the second elder of the Duan family went to bed early after eating, and Lan Linshi went to Nie Fan's side.
At night, Lan Linshi tossed and turned, but it was difficult to sleep. She picked up the mobile phone on the side, the mobile phone emitted a faint blue light in the dark, and the time on it clearly told Lan Linshi that it was already two o'clock in the morning at this moment.
It's been a long, long time since she's slept on her own. Lan Linshi sighed, and sat up against the head of the bed.
The dark night seemed even more lonely, she never knew that she could be so unbearably lonely when she was alone. For a week, or even longer, she had to do it by herself.
can't be close to Duan Bing, can't go to and from work together, and can only eat together occasionally.
"Pop" Lan Linshi reached out and threw the photo frame on the bedside table on the ground, and got up and walked around the room with some irritation. Her original idea was that after she got Lan Xuan, she would confess to her parents that it didn't matter whether they accepted it or not, it was a big deal to kneel in front of the Lan family for three days and three nights. Wait for a qiΔ to go smoothly, and then go to Duan Bing's house.
Now this qiΔ is messed up.
Lan Linshi is now a little worried about whether her parents know something, according to the situation last time, they guessed something. At this time, if they are suddenly given a definite answer, I don't know if the second elder can accept it. If it weren't for the fact that Lan Lin was worried about the acceptance of Cheng DΓΉ by the second elder of the Lan family, Lan Linshi really wanted to tell the second elder of the Duan family the truth now.
The more Lan Linshi looked, the more anxious she became, and then thinking of what Nie Fan said in the day, she only felt that the uneasiness and anxiety in her heart became more and more tired, and she couldn't wait to yell twice.
To say that in the past, Lan Linshi was also a docile and docile person, never excited about anything, nor lost his mind because of anything. Now Lan Linshi will have such an expression, firstly, because she cares about Duan Bing, there will be some gains and losses. is also because of the experience in the previous life, which made him extremely insecure, and Duan Bing is the person who can give her the most sense of security.
So now Lan Linshi's state is very unstable, she rushed out of the bedroom and came to Nie Fan's study. Nie Fan put a small wine cabinet in the study, and she usually likes to drink a little when she reads. Lan Linshi didn't look at any wine, picked up a bottle and opened it to drink it.
Nie Fan, who was in the next room, listened to the noise outside, turned over and continued to sleep. I still want to abuse myself, this is the beginning, and there will be some in the future!
Thinking of this, Nie Fan laughed sullenly a few times, who let Lan Linshi stain all the good things on weekdays. Sure enough, it's retribution, it's not happy! The more Nie Fan thought about it, the happier he became. But she forgot that people are often happy and sad.
She was "happy" at night, and when she got up in the morning, she saw the wine bottle in Lan Linshi's hand, and suddenly felt that life was not good.
"Lan Linshi, you-" She actually drank the liquor he had treasured for many years, don't look at the lack of good packaging, it looks ordinary, it is the wine she found in a house in a town a few years ago. It was made by the same family, and it had been stored for decades when she bought it. Only such a bottle, she said that the other party sold it to her after breaking her mouth.
Nie Fan's heartache, what do you say Lan Linshi is not good to drink, isn't there that there are many bottles of wine that are more expensive and older, but this bottle is out of print.
Lan Linshi was woken up by Nie Fan, and then was kicked out of the house by Nie Fan without breakfast. She rubbed her nose and couldn't help but sigh. When she arrived at Lan's, Lan Linshi asked Secretary Xu to buy breakfast, and then told her that lunch would be set for the next few days.
Looking at Secretary Xu's stunned gaze, Lan Linshi's psychology was even more unhappy. She took out her phone and dialed a call.
Qi Yin's family is in this city, and after graduating from university, Qi Yin did not follow his parents' arrangement, but went to a large advertising agency. At that time, she was able to go there, and Lan Ming also made a lot of efforts, after all, Qi Yin's conditions were still a little worse. The manager over there knew that Qi Yin had something to do with the Lan family, so he took care of her, not to mention the treatment, even the position was steadily promoted.
Lan Linshi didn't like someone to do anything in the name of the Lan family, but at that time, Lan Ming and Qi Yin were good friends, so she turned a blind eye, and this time she was reborn, she didn't include Qi Yin as the target of revenge. Later, when she learned about Duan Bing, she really wanted to attack Qi Yin, but she never took action.
Lan Linshi, who hung up the phone, had a dark look in her eyes, and then took the text and began to deal with the affairs of the day.
At this time, Qi Yin didn't know anything, she stopped the car and went out of the car with her purse. She was in a good mood these days, and she and Lan Ming sent an email to Duan Bing's parents together. Listening to Lan Ming, Duan Bing's parents have arrived. She didn't do anything good to do it, but she was happy. Nothing made her happier than being able to hit Duan Bing.
When she went out today, she specially put on a newly bought dress and a lady's short suit, which looked neat and capable.
Satisfied, he looked at his makeup at the car window, and walked into the company. As soon as he sat down in his seat, a colleague on the side said, "Xiaoyin, the manager just said that you should go to him." β
"Did the manager say what was going on?" Qi Yin wondered. The colleague shook his head, "I don't know, just ask." β
Qi Yin had a bad premonition in her heart, she knew what the reason for her coming here was, it wouldn't be because of Duan Bing's matter Lan Linshi was unhappy and said something to the manager.
In fact, she had thought about this problem before, but Lan Ming repeatedly promised that it would be absolutely fine. And in Qi Yin's heart, Lan Linshi was just hooked up by Duan Bing's fox, and it won't be long before she wakes up and understands her hard work.
Somewhat apprehensive, he came to the manager's office, knocked on the door and walked in. The manager's surname is Zhao, she is a woman in her thirties, she is very resolute and has some means, and Qi Yin has always been kind and pleasant. Seeing Qi Yin come in, he smiled and said, "You're here." He gestured to the chair across from him and motioned for Qi Yin to sit down.
"Manager, you're looking for me. Qi Yin sat down.
"That's right, there is a case here, the two sides have determined the specifics, only the specific details are left, I originally handled it, but I am going on a business trip in the next few days, so I want to teach you to do the details. β
Qi Yin secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, although there are not many such things, but it is not the first time, she also has experience, so she took the information in Manager Zhao's hand, and exclaimed as soon as she opened it.
She knew that this was the biggest case in the company now, and Manager Zhao had always been solely responsible for it. Not to mention anything else, if you can take this case, Manager Zhao's bonus this year is enough to make people red, and now even if she is just asked to discuss the details, she can drink a lot of soup with her.
And the benefits of being able to participate in such a case are not just what money can bring.
"Manager-this-" Qi Yin hesitated.
"If you don't want to take it, then I'll ask the others. Manager Zhao is not embarrassed. "Originally, I didn't feel at ease about teaching you this case, but since I want to train you, you always have to deal with these things. The point is that it has been largely discussed, and only a few details remain. I think you can handle that. β
Qi Yin shook his head, "No problem, leave the rest to me." β
"Well, I'm on a business trip for about a week, and I hope that when I come back, I'll be taken care of, otherwise I'll pick it up again. Do you understand?" she couldn't talk about it for a week, she didn't have anything, she didn't have any credit.
Qi Yin nodded, "Don't worry, manager, I will definitely live up to your cultivation." Although the conditions were harsh, Manager Zhao said that she was relieved. Credit is not so easy to get, she knows that.
Let Qi Yin leave, Manager Zhao came back to his senses and looked at the phone at hand.
Lan Linshi asked her to hand over this matter to Qi Yin, why on earth? But no matter what, the Lan family still has to give face. After all, the general manager also called just now. Although Manager Zhao is a strong woman, she is not very clear about the affairs of the Lan family, and she can't come up with a clue after thinking about it for a while.
Forget it, anyway, someone paid her to travel abroad, and she was happy. After thinking about it, Manager Zhao happily packed his things and went out with his bag.
And Lan Linshi, after experiencing an unbearable "breakfast" and an unpalatable "lunch", finally waited for the end of work. And as soon as she walked to the gate of the company, she saw Chen Fang. There is also a handsome boy next to Chen Fang who looks like he is in his early twenties, this person Lan Linshi also knows that it is her younger brother, Chen Gu.
For this younger brother, Lan Linshi is still more recognized, after her accident in the previous life, Chen Gu was the only Chen family who reached out, and she was able to distinguish between right and wrong, and when Duan Bing saw Chen Gu's photo, he said, "There is a problem with the genetic arrangement of the Chen family." β
Thinking of Duan Bing, Lan Linshi subconsciously looked at his side, and then continued to sigh.
"Is there anything to find me?" Because Chen Gu was there, Lan Linshi did not turn a blind eye. Chen Fang looked at Lan Linshi, then pulled Chen Gu and said, "Brother, brother, this isβ"
"Hello, my name is Chen Gu. Chen Gu interrupted Chen Fang's words and stretched out his hand to Lan Linshi. Lan Linshi also reached out and shook it with him.
"Let's find a place to sit and talk. Lan Linshi didn't want to stand here to attract onlookers, yesterday Duan Bing's parents came, and today Chen Fang appeared, saying that Chen Fang and Lan Xue have nothing to do with them, Lan Linshi himself doesn't believe it.
She went to pick up the car and took the two to a restaurant. She used to be a regular visitor here, and the manager saw her and hurriedly greeted her. "Miss Lan, long time no see. The chef has a new dish, just waiting for you to try it. As he spoke, he invited the three of them up to the second floor.
"Then it's time to try Chef Wang's craftsmanship today. Lan Linshi said with a smile.
"Well, pleaseβ" The manager led them into a private room. "Miss Lan, please wait a minute, I'll serve you food in a moment. It's still the same. β
"Good. Lan Linshi nodded, turned her head and asked Chen Fang and Chen Gu, "Do you drink?"
The two of them shook their heads collectively, and Lan Linshi said, "Then don't drink it, just juice." β
After the manager went out, Lan Linshi sat directly in the position, and Chen Fang looked around at this private room, this private room was very large, even if it was more than enough for twenty people, now there were only three of them. She couldn't read the others, but it felt expensive.
Before she could finish her thoughts, she saw the door of the private room open, and four or five waiters came in, the first person was holding a tray with a pot of freshly squeezed juice on it, and the few people behind her had some snacks in their hands, which were sprinkled on the table and set up a small half of the table.
"Eat first when you're hungry. Lan Lin said. She brought them here, firstly, the environment here is good, they can talk well without being disturbed, and secondly, she really regards Chen Gu as a younger brother in her heart. Although she may not be so close, she doesn't mind being kind to Chen Gu.
"Sister-" Chen Fang shouted, Lan Linshi looked at her, and then at Chen Gu. Chen Gu pulled Chen Fang's sleeve, and then said, "Miss Lan has no relationship with us, don't call her that in the future." β
Chen Gu came here just to see what the sister in Chen Fang's mouth looked like, he knew that the Chen family owed Lan Linshi a lot, and he also knew that Lan Linshi's current home was very good, so he didn't want Lan Linshi to return to the Chen family. He knew what his parents were like, so he didn't feel that Lan Linshi owed anything to the Chen family, and he also knew that coming back would not be of any benefit to Lan Linshi.
Lan Linshi nodded and smiled at Chen Gu, "You can call me Linshi, sister, forget it." β
"Sister Linshi. Chen Gu changed his name privately, but Lan Linshi did not correct it. Chen Fang looked at Lan Linshi, and then said, "But weβ"
In all fairness, at this moment, Chen Gu really wanted to block Chen Fang's mouth.
Lan Linshi doesn't come back is good for everyone, Lan Linshi's adoptive parents won't be sad because of this, Lan Linshi won't be targeted by their pair of vampire parents, and they can also have a relative who can walk around in the future who is not a relative. This qiΔ is very good, he doesn't understand why Chen Fang is so persistent in returning to the Chen family with Lan Linshi.
Lan Linshi didn't answer, but asked Chen Gu, "Are you studying in college?"
She knew about Chen Gu, but she still wanted to hear it with her own ears. Her mood at this time was somewhat similar to when she faced Lan Ming back then.
"Just graduated and already working. Chen Gu smiled, "It's in the next city, it's a small company, but the treatment is not bad." β
"Why don't you keep reading?" Lan Linshi remembered that Chen Gu's grades were good, so Duan Bing said that there was something wrong with his genes. Chen Gu smiled helplessly, his parents were much better to him than Chen Fang, at least for him to go to college, but there were still many old problems, such as the problem of blood sucking.
It's not that strict, but it's not light. Anyway, he can still bear it. Most crucially, he will rebel. Parents asked for a lot, and he directly said no, are you crying or making trouble, just no. It's okay to have as much as he can, and if he exceeds, he's sorry. He talked to Chen Fang many times to learn from his practice, but Chen Fang only cried every time.
Lan Linshi instantly understood, she thought that Chen's father and Chen's mother would not be like this to their son, but she didn't expect that - she smiled, and suddenly felt that the irritable old man of the Duan family was not bad, after all, they were her future "parents", and their love for Duan Bing was not mixed with other things. Although I love to save face.
The dishes came up quickly, and Lan Linshi's habits The people in the restaurant already knew that there were many dishes, and there were few people and few dishes, so there were not many dishes, only five plates. After careful blending, it makes people move their fingers at a glance.
However, Lan Linshi didn't have much interest, she now wanted Duan Bing's vegetarian fried bean sprouts, steamed grass carp, and bone broth.
"Talking while eating, let's talk about it, do you have something to do with me?"
"I'm here for a tourist. Chen Gu saw it very clearly, so he didn't plan to wade into this troubled water. Chen Fang hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Next month is Grandpa's sacrifice day, and Dad told me that I hope you can go back to worship." β
Lan Linshi almost squirted out the juice she had drunk.
Lan Linshi felt that Duan Bing would definitely be angry here, thinking of Duan Bing, she subconsciously looked at her side again. Today, Duan Bing has no phone calls and no text messages. She didn't dare to call Duan Bing to ask, and she didn't know where Duan Bing had gone with the second elder, and she didn't know if she had enough money?
Chen Gu also felt a little embarrassed, and buried his head and didn't plan to speak. His sister always can't see the facts clearly, can't figure out his identity, and he is also very helpless. It's useless to say anything, he has already given up.
"My surname is Lan, what identity do I use to worship?" Lan Linshi pointed to himself.
"Change the last name back, of course. Chen Fang took it for granted. Lan Linshi raised her forehead, and she suddenly felt that sometimes it was better to talk to a smart bad person than a kind stupid, because maybe you would be angry with him at some point.
"How many times do you want me to say, my name is Lan Linshi, and I am not from the Chen family. Lan Linshi took a sip of juice, Duan Bing was already a little irritable when she wasn't there, she was really afraid that she would open her mouth and scold Chen Fang for a while.
"Butβ"
"No, butβ" Lan Linshi interrupted her with some irritation, "You mean you want me to give up my adoptive parents and return to your house, right?"
Chen Fang was stunned, and then said, "It's not that you give up, but you can see them occasionally-"
"Do you say this or do your parents say it, my parents raised me so much, treated me as their own daughter, provided me with food and drink, let me study, and now let me inherit the family business. Now that you've appeared, and you've said let me go back, and treat you as relatives, and my parents as people who look at me once in a while, do you think it's appropriate? Don't tell me about blood, do you really care so much about why you threw me in the first place?"
"Because I didn't have money at that time, I couldn't afford to raise it. Chen Fang whispered a defense.
Lan Linshi sneered, "What if I die at that time? Now do you also look at my bones and say, no way, I can't afford to raise it, I don't have money, I still don't want girls, we all know this." β
Chen Fang lowered his head, and Lan Linshi continued, "Today's words are here, now we can walk here and eat." If you mention this again in the future, don't blame me for turning my face. "Your Highness the Rabbit of Rebirth
