49. Ask & Explain

When Chen Ran and his two siblings returned home, they found that the opposite door was hidden, so they pushed the door in unison.

"Hey, Brother Lu, you're at home." Brother Chen Hong has always been happier than Chen Ran when he saw Lu Cheng, and his eyes lit up when he saw him at home.

"You're back, where have you been?" Lu Cheng was standing on the side of the cooking table, making tea with a white porcelain rose gold teacup, he was wearing a round-necked white cashmere sweater and light gray trousers.

The light outside is like silver, and the people are complicated, and as long as you enter him, time seems to stop, idle and comfortable.

Chen Ran stood in the entrance, his gaze was precisely positioned, and he never deviated from it.

Lu Cheng also caught and followed in an instant, scorching on her body, no matter why, as long as she didn't move, he wouldn't move.

Poor Chen Hong, who was completely ignored, looked left and right, goosebumps fell all over his body, abusing dogs, abusing dogs, even if his nerves were as thick as titanium alloys, and porcelain was resistant, he couldn't withstand this kind of destruction.

"Well, I still haven't finished my homework, how about coming back in two hours." He scratched his hair irritably, and muttered to his sister, "That's pretty much it, I'm still here." ”

The humanoid killing weapon made of titanium metal is indeed terrifying, and the ripples in the room are completely eliminated for a while, and Chen Ran can't automatically retreat when he looks at him. Lu Cheng nodded at him, and pointed in the direction of the computer desk by the way, "I have something for you, it's the bag on the table, you can take it." ”

When Chen Hong heard this, he couldn't care about anything else, so he ran over three times and two times, and took out a bag the size of a computer bag, which was one hand wide, and tried to pick it up, but it was quite heavy.

"What is it?" Chen Ran was more curious than him, when he came, he really hadn't seen this bag.

"A few reference books, recommended by Professor Jin, I helped him find them." Lu Cheng replied lightly.

Hearing this, Chen Hong's eyes were full of stars, cute like a silly hat, "Brother Lu, you are really a god, all fifteen books?" ”

He had already held the bag in his arms, and who was going to grab the same thing with him, Lu Cheng had already smiled and nodded in affirmation.

"Brother Lu, thank you." Chen Hong bent down and thanked him solemnly.

Chen Ran kept looking at him, from the original hippie smiling face, to now thanking Lu Cheng with a solemn face. My heart shakes, and my thoughts spin.

In her impression, Chen Hong doesn't care about too many things and cares about too many people. Only about his beloved preferences, desperate and persistent.

The family can't give him too much, and they can't know too much about him, so they treat him like an ordinary boy with good grades, and for his future, it is nothing more than to get into a good university, have a good job, and have a harmonious family in the future.

But since Lu Cheng's arrival, in addition to the huge changes in her, on the other hand, Chen Hong seems to have been under the circumstances she doesn't know, and the future that can be achieved is immeasurable.

There is empathetic joy, and I am proud of my younger brother who has worked hard for his ideal goal, and more importantly, I am full of gratitude to Lu Cheng who brought these changes.

She is in Haishi, and it can be said that she is forced to accept the reality, so in the face of such Chen Hong, she sincerely feels that Lu Cheng will have an irreplaceable impact on her and their family's future.

Only now did she urgently feel that she could no longer afford to lose Lu Cheng.

Before she could finish feeling it, Chen Hong's head was hippie again, "You guys have fun, I'm leaving." With that, the people ran away as fast as they could, and remembered to close the door for them.

"Nonsense," Chen Ran looked at the closed door in a daze, and all the tricks were broken, and he ended up empty, and he was so resentful that he vented his words, what is so fun, is there such a pit sister.

"Come here, rose tea, add some wolfberries, jujubes, you like." As Lu Cheng spoke, he made her a cup and put it on the same side of his cup, and then quietly waited for her to come over by himself.

Chen Ran pursed his lips, wrestling with the buttons of his croissant coat, and under his gaze, he was helpless for three seconds, and the person had already bypassed the bar.

Lu Cheng helped her take off her coat and put it aside, and sat on the high chair with her in her arms, and the two hugged each other intimately.

"Where did I go, I didn't answer my phone." Lu Cheng put the teacup in her hand to warm it, lowered her head and kissed the tip of her ear, and her cheeks were infinitely closer.

Chen Ran dodged unnaturally, naturally it was impossible to dodge, so he was not ashamed to give him a chance to roll his eyes, and then his back was slightly loose, and he nestled into his arms.

"I didn't hear you." The phone is in the coat pocket, if you don't answer it, you don't have to answer it, and you don't have to look at it now.

"Going to see grandma? Came back from lunch? Lu Cheng asked again.

"Nope." Even if Chen Ran was confused by the beauty, he still remembered that when Chen's mother asked them to come back, she deliberately instructed her not to talk about this side when she saw Lu Cheng.

No matter how casual she is, she knows that her family ugliness cannot be publicized, but let her deliberately cover it up with lies in front of Lu Cheng, and she is unwilling, the only thing she can do is a vague past.

But this person doesn't know what's going on today, he just doesn't plan to make her happy around a topic, "Why didn't Uncle and Aunt come with you?" ”

Chen Ran raised his hand and pushed his chin, pretending to be impatient and said, "You have a lot of questions, they can't come back later?" ”

"Is there something going on at home?" When Lu Cheng said this, his eyes were staring straight at her face, not too sharp, just too concentrated, as if he wanted to see the clues on her body.

Chen Ran looked at him in surprise, she didn't say anything, how could she tell if there was something wrong, or was it something about their family? Then he found that he even frowned, could it be that he saw through his eyes and really saw something from her?

Chen Ran couldn't help but look down at himself, but he heard Lu Cheng ask again, "Your cousin is not going to get married, how is it now?" ”

"Hey, how do you know, no, my mother deliberately didn't let me sue you, ahhh Or are you the second reptile in my belly? Chen Ran was stupid.

Lu Cheng covered her forehead and said with a smile, "What Uncle said when I was drinking last night, I guess they don't remember it." He mean, he's just remembering it, too.

"Really?"

"Tell me what's going on?" Lu Cheng didn't give her a chance to think about it, so she asked.

"Brother Zhipeng's fiancΓ©e, have you seen it, her family is here......"

After telling everything she saw and heard in detail, it was only when she was about to say that she realized a little bit that even if he knew that their family was going to the countryside to drink Brother Zhipeng's engagement wine, then she was completely sure that it would be over, why did she say so much, so complete!

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Anyway, before I came, I heard my mother say that the other party had to see the money, otherwise he would not agree to this marriage. ”

"I think it's really unreasonable, Sister Luo and Brother Zhipeng have been in love for five years, and they were ready to get married at the beginning of last year, and they tossed it to this year for the sake of the house, that is to say, there are two whole years of work before and after to talk about the conditions, but they waited until they were engaged to talk about the dowry, and as soon as they opened their mouths, they asked for 500,000 yuan, and they also wanted to see cash, what is this, is it a deal? In my opinion, if you want to settle this matter peacefully, I will find some money, put it in front of their family, send people away first, and let Brother Zhipeng and Sister Meijuan talk privately about the next thing......"

Chen Ran was really the first time to express his opinion on the gossip of his relatives' family, and when he was talking about Xingtou, he heard Lu Cheng say, "Ran Ran, wait a minute, I'll make a call." ”

"Huh?" Chen Ran was put down on the ground, and saw Lu Cheng get out of the kitchen table and go to the coffee table to get his mobile phone, what's wrong, she talks too much nonsense and annoys him.

Lu Cheng looked down at his mobile phone, and stayed in the living room after dialing, "Hey, Lao Ye, you find a few people who are familiar with Wu Shi, and you will ...... soon." Uh-huh, well, found a call for me. ”

Chen Ran subconsciously felt that he had something to do with this call to her, but he couldn't figure out the connection.

"What's the matter, do you have anything important?"

"No," Lu Cheng replied lightly, "I think Xiao Luo's parents are a little wrong, and I want to find a few people to watch." ”

"What!" Everyone can see that they are here for a great purpose, but looking for someone to watch, is this too much?

"Now that I know, I should do this, and besides, he is your own cousin, and for me, I can't help without reaching out."

He said it very calmly, Chen Ran was a little surprised when he heard it, and it seemed to make sense when he looked back.

It's just that she doesn't know any boyfriend who can do this to his girlfriend, not only doing his best to show favor to her family, but also helping her relatives and treating herself, so good that it's almost unreal.

Chen Ran quickly ran to his side, hugged his waist, and asked him very emotionally, "In this way, will it be too troublesome for you?" ”

Looking at him in her eyes, at this time, he has achieved her only bright spot, and the expression on his face is that he can't help but be happy, full of spring.

Lu Cheng pinched her nose and said something meaningful, "I'm afraid that they will blame you then, after all, I'm already your boyfriend now." "It's okay if nothing happens, if something happens, look back a few years at this time, who still remembers that the two of them are just a couple who have just made it public, but they just remember that she/he is very capable and didn't help in Wu City.

The fact is that something is indeed going to happen, Luo Meijuan's mother is a poor person, Luo Meijuan's father is a bad gambler, and when Luo Meijuan fell in love with Cheng Zhipeng, she never said anything about the family.

The older young man changed the house in the city, and Luo Meijuan asked the Cheng family under the pretense of her parents' words, and exploited the Cheng family's last bit of money.

And the dowry at the engagement banquet was requested by his father, the purpose was to pay off the gambling bills, not what Chen Ran said, the dowry will be accompanied by the bride's dowry in the end, or directly used at the wedding.

In the end, it was Luo Meijuan's mother who died for the father and daughter, a kind and stupid woman who worked hard to pull her daughter to grow up, and was finally thrown in the countryside by the father and daughter and didn't ask.

As soon as Luo Meijuan's mother died, Luo Meijuan's father was in Shangchen Village, not because their Chen family forced his wife to death, and it became the biggest scandal in the village that year.

And the result of this incident directly caused the Cheng family was that the elderly grandmother Chen fell ill all of a sudden, and the sister-in-law of the Chen family was under too much mental pressure and had high blood pressure, and she fell out of bed in the middle of the night and was half paralyzed.

Cheng Zhipeng couldn't resist the pressure and left. Leave all the mess for the eldest and third of the Chen family to clean up, and the most capable second child of the Chen family from beginning to end has not appeared much except for sending some money. The two elders of the Chen family were relieved, and their reputation was completely ruined in several nearby villages.

The Chen family seems to have had bad luck from the beginning of this incident, and later, when his career got up, someone attacked him, so he took advantage of this incident, and Chen Ran suffered at both ends......

Lu Cheng called Ye Da and soon responded, and later learned that Ye Da was the manager of the security department of Hengrui in Wu City, and he found out two locals at once, plus three with strong business ability, and they were all veterans.

Lu Cheng called Chen's father first and told him that he had found five reliable people for him to use.

Chen Ran knew that he was going to oppose whoever he called, and felt that Chen's father was definitely going to push his kindness, and they could watch it in private, after all, if they exposed her, they might blame her for talking too much.

It's a pity that she was too late to figure it out," ...... The company works as a security guard, a veteran, and has a bit of skill. ”

"Uncle, the people on my side all know the rules and won't make trouble for you, okay, I know, don't worry." After a few words, Lu Cheng hung up the phone.

Chen Ran asked him in surprise, "What did my dad say?" ”

Lu Cheng turned his head and kissed her directly on the lips, and replied unhurriedly, "Uncle said, they won't come back at night, and I want you to sleep with me." ”

"you." Chen Ran couldn't cry or laugh when he said it, this is the person who promised to apply him, then her heart is also settled.

"I wasn't used to not having you by my side yesterday." Lu Cheng hugged her and fell on the sofa, hugging her.

Chen Ran wanted to push, but unfortunately his whole body was weak and he couldn't move, so he could only hum and let him eat all the cheap, when he forced her to sleep together, she was not used to it, but he was not there for a while, and he didn't feel more comfortable at all, and when he fell asleep, he couldn't help but look at the side more.

After the trouble, Lu Cheng took advantage of her going to the bathroom and sent a text message to Ye Da - pay attention to Luo Meijuan's mother!

With a few of them here, he didn't believe that things could still develop in the previous life, but even if it happened, he wouldn't let the outcome be delayed.

He is not a good person, he will only control things to the point that Chen Ran's family is not involved, and he will not take care of the rest. Cheng Zhipeng has no sense of responsibility for seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, so he is not worth helping.

At Chen Hong's insistence, dinner was the spoon personally held by Lu Cheng, Chen Hong said so, going out to eat is a waste of time, takeaway is not delicious, it is better to scrambled eggs and fried rice, and eat as you like.

Then the two sisters and brothers looked at Lu Cheng, the only one who could cook.

"I think it's a good idea." At noon, I ate KFC downstairs, and Chen Ran, who was greasy and didn't go, also thought it was good, but in fact, she wanted to drink some light porridge.

"No need," Lu Cheng rolled up his sleeves and said, "I see that there is still some seafood left at home yesterday, I will make a seafood soup and stir-fry two vegetarian dishes, and we will eat it in the evening." ”

really won her heart, Chen Ran had already thought of using the beautiful seafood soup bibimbap, and heard Chen Hong shouting on the side, "Brother Lu, you are so virtuous, what do you think when you fall in love with my sister." ”

"Chen Hong, shut up." Chen Ran was furious, this guy was poisonous and buried his own sister in front of his future brother-in-law, and she couldn't leave her place with some face left.

Lu Cheng looked at Chen Ran, who was jumping on his feet, and said with burning eyes, "In the future, if you can find a girlfriend who is half as good as your sister, I will give you a research institute, and I will do what I say." ”

Scare!

Chen Hong: A master of love words, he really deserves to be Brother Lu.

Chen Ran: This person really has no bottom line when he talks about love, he will live in the sea of love words for the rest of his life, and sooner or later he will be drowned, what should I do, I am in a hurry!

That night, Chen Ran slept in Lu Cheng's room, and in the middle of the night, when he was sleeping in the third watch, Chen Ran was suddenly woken up from his dream.

"Ranran, wake up, something is happening in the countryside, don't worry." The room was brightly lit, and Lu Cheng was standing by the bed, buttoning the cuffs of his shirt.

"What?" Chen Ran sat up in a daze, rubbing his eyes and still couldn't figure out the situation.

Lu Cheng put her clothes in her hand, and explained the sudden incident in the countryside in a fast and clear tone, "Luo Meijuan's mother was going to commit suicide, she was rescued, and now she has been sent to the hospital, Luo Meijuan's father went to her grandmother's house to find Cheng Zhipeng, it was the uncle who opened the door, and the two had a conflict." ”

Chen Ran even breathed shallow when she heard this, and stared at Lu Cheng in a daze, afraid that every word that popped up behind him was something she didn't like to hear.

Lu Cheng didn't move, and said calmly, "Uncle is fine, it was Luo Meijuan's father who was smashed on the head, and now several people have been taken to the police station, I think, we still have to go over to see the situation and bring the uncle out." ”

Hearing that Chen's father was fine, Chen Ran's heart was relieved, and his brain finally turned normally, "You mean, Luo Meijuan's father's head was smashed by my father?" ”

"No," Lu Cheng replied with certainty, "Okay, I'll give you three minutes to get dressed, I'll make a call outside, hurry up." ”

Chen Ran quickly got up from the bed, stripped off his pajamas, and put clothes on his body directly, his hands and feet were in a hurry, but he didn't see panic, "Don't tell Chen Hong, let's go first." ”

Lu Cheng nodded to indicate that he understood.

Ten minutes later, the two set off from their home, the night was foggy, the roadside lights were dim, and the street was empty and lonely.

Driving in the middle of the night, the carriage seems extraordinarily quiet, and when you speak, every word can be directly hit in your heart.

"This matter is already clear, Luo Meijuan's father is desperate to blackmail the Cheng family's money, at most pay a little medical expenses, nothing serious."

"Who the hell smashed it?"

"I don't know, it's too dark, no one notices, he fell, and he picked up the hammer from the side of the road."

Calm in the middle of the night, people's hearts also shivered, a little childish sympathy during the day was also dispelled away by the cold of the third watch in the middle of the night, Chen Ran couldn't hold back his complaint, "What kind of marriage are you still married, you are all enemies." ”

"I don't think it's appropriate, either." Lu Cheng lightly affirmed her opinion, and at the same time said, "Luo Meijuan's father is too unscrupulous, such a person must have something to do in his hometown, I want to find someone to check, and save endless trouble." ”

Chen Ran had seen Luo Meijuan's father from afar, but his impression of him was that he was a ruffian, and he had endangered the safety of her relatives, so he was angry in his heart and asked, "Can you find out?" Do you know someone else in Jishui County? "Jishui County is Luo Meijuan's hometown, separated from Wu City by three cities, too much into the mountains, and the economic conditions are relatively much worse in the province.

"You don't need to know anyone, there are special people to do the investigation of news, Ye Da can do it. However, when we set up a project in each city, it is impossible to listen to the official side of the story, and we always have to send our own people to explore the way first, so that we can make the next decision. ”

Lu Cheng told the story, and Chen Ran could only listen quietly.

"It's easier to investigate people like Luo Meijuan's father, I believe that when we inquire in Jishui County, a lot of people will sue us."

"In the future, I mean that if there is such a thing as tonight, you look upset, and it is your own relatives' business, you can't avoid it, you want to find something, or use someone, if you feel that you can't let too many people know, you go directly to Lao Zhang. If you think it's simple and not too secretive, you can go to the security manager of Hengrui in each city, they are specially selected, if you want to know, go back to Haishi, I can find out their resumes and show you......"

Here, Chen Ran suddenly changed his style from private chat to vent his anger and gave him confidential matters, and the whole person listened to it.

And at the door of the police station in the middle of the night.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's good to be dead, it's endless, our Cheng family is really evil, and we met such a family. ”

"What, this kind of person still pays medical expenses, why doesn't he hit himself headlong to death, and we will pay for the funeral."

"This person is really ruthless, on weekdays, the mother and daughter of the Chen family live in the same room, what is he going to do?" Someone muttered such a sentence, and those who heard it were all over their bodies.

"Officer Wang, you have to check this surnamed Luo, I guess he was a murderer before."

"Say you, talk a little quieter." There are police officers who come out to maintain order.

When everyone saw him come out, they immediately gathered around to inquire about the movement, and the police officer went in again without saying a word, and the people standing outside no longer spoke with straight voices, but became a small circle and discussed.

"My wife is going to die, and there is bad luck in other people's homes, the daughter educated by this kind of person can be good, full of nonsense, you know what she said when she came to the house, Dad opened a factory, and Mom retired at home."

"Then Zhipeng hasn't been there?" The one who spoke listened to the movement next door, but the neighbor's wife who was involved as a result, and his own man was still making a confession inside, so anxious that he was not there, and his focus was still listening to gossip.

"He, he knows a." Even Cheng Zhipeng blamed it, it was Cheng Zhipeng's aunt, who lived in the town and had just gotten the news.

"It's not that the Luo family also has relatives here, why did they all go to the hospital to see her mother?"

"No, I'll go down and leave, I guess I can't stand it, only an aunt is left, and it's not a good one to talk weirdly."

"Ouch, your family is really, what kind of sin you have created."

The aunt of the Cheng family was heartbroken by what she said, and her eyes were sour and unbearable.

This neighbor sighed that it was actually Cheng Zhipeng's father, Chen Ran's sister-in-law's husband, that is a well-known honest man in Shangchen Village, but the death is too worthless, someone in the village held a wedding banquet, asked him to help, when he came back, it rained and drank some wine, and even people fell into the ditch with a tricycle, and no one saw it until dawn, but unfortunately his neck was broken, and he was out of gas. If he were still alive, and there was a master in the family, he would not let an outsider bully him like this.
