"It's not that simple," Mo Zhi rubbed his temples, he had been busy all day today but made no progress, "Forget it, I'll talk about it when I get home." How was your day? ”

Lin Ran thought for a while, and then answered his question very happily: "Thanks to you, I became the protagonist of the hot water room in the library today. ”

Before Mo Zhi could figure out what was going on with this sentence, Lin Ran had already simply hung up the phone, without any meaning to explain.

The man snorted: "What a temper tantrum." ”

But in his eyes, there is tenderness that cannot be described in words.

Lin Ran couldn't even remember how she had changed into her pajamas the night before and climbed into bed to fall asleep, and she was even a little dazed when she woke up the next day, her grandfather was an extremely nostalgic person, so the big bed in her room in the Lin family's old mansion still had a classical bed tent, which made her seem to be confused for a few seconds every time she woke up on the bed in the dormitory where she could see the ceiling as soon as she opened her eyes.

Today's confusion, however, has clearly lasted longer.

She raised her hand and rubbed her face, then stretched on the wooden floor with her bare feet and smiled lightly as she looked out the window at the fine weather.

This is a war, Lin Ran propped her hands on the desk near the window, her long black hair slid down to cover half of her face, although she still doesn't know how many forces are entangled behind this war, but for her, this war must be won, and she has never had a way back.

When Lin Ran appeared at the breakfast table, Uncle Cheng was still a little worried: "You slept for such a short time because you rushed back because the dormitory was about to close yesterday, are you sure it's okay?" ”

"I'm used to getting up at this time," Lin Ran took a bite of the toast that was just right, "If you want me to sleep again, I guess I won't be able to sleep well either." ”

Uncle Cheng poured the brewed coffee into the cup and put it in front of the girl: "What are you going to do?" ”

Lin Ran knew that Uncle Cheng was referring to the incident at the banquet, she stirred the coffee with a small spoon, and there was silence between her eyebrows: "To be honest, I haven't thought about it yet, after all, I don't have any evidence in my hands right now that points to the extremely innocent Third Young Master of the He Family." ”

"There is one more thing I have to tell you," Uncle Cheng hesitated for a moment, "It is said that the Qin family has started to make new moves again, and the goal is ...... Pull Qin Wenlin down. ”

The spoon in Lin Ran's hand touched the wall of the cup and made a crisp sound, she raised her head and looked at Uncle Cheng: "Where did the news come from?" ”

"After you slept, the message from Mo Zhi's people sent me." Uncle Cheng said.

After hearing the source, Lin Ran's expression loosened slightly, and she picked up her cup and took a sip of coffee before speaking again: "Then don't bother with it, if it's really the Qin family that wants to make a move, I won't know the news later than them, and their family is now staring at the Xia family, how can they find a strong enemy for themselves at this time?" ”

"But what if Mo Zhi needs you to take a stand?"

"Ha, make a statement." Lin Ran drank the rest of the coffee, "No matter who wants me to express my position, I just say it, I don't want to have any head-on conflict with anyone at this time, I don't offend anyone if they don't offend me, and I don't have the ability to stop them in Yancheng." ”

"I have seen the account book in the study, Uncle Cheng, I will read it on Saturdays and Sundays this week." Lin Ran stood up and walked to the door, "I'm going to have tea with He Dehou in the evening, if you have time, come to my school to pick me up, right?" ”

Uncle Cheng frowned: "Are you sure you don't need me to send you to school?" ”

"Of course," Lin Ran grabbed the ironed coat on the sofa and checked his belongings, "I'm just going to see the situation, don't worry, Uncle Cheng, there won't be a fight." ”

“…… I'm going to be more worried after you say that, okay? ”

Lin Ran didn't really want to go to tea and chat with He Dehou, that sentence was just a casual remark to let Uncle Cheng know her destination, the reason why she went out was completely because she received a call from He Dehou before breakfast.

On the phone, He Dehou said that he had something to talk to her.

This incident made Lin Ran still ponder when she got into the car at night, but it made Uncle Cheng look at her a few more times: "Miss, have you really made a decision?" ”

Taking over his lambskin gloves from Uncle Cheng's hand, Lin Ran carefully put them on one finger at a time: "Of course, do you think I'm the kind of person who will attack them without asking anything?" ”

Uncle Cheng's eyebrows tightened: "Then ......" I love

"Let's not talk about this for now," Lin Ran shivered fiercely in the cold wind of the night, "Uncle Cheng, there is one thing I want to ask you, how much news do you have about the little son of the He family?" ”

Uncle Cheng was very surprised that Lin Ran suddenly asked about this person, but he still told everything he knew: "I don't know much, it's similar to those that are circulated in the outside world, he has always been in poor health, and his mother died after giving birth to him, so He Dehou loves this little son very much, and he doesn't let him get involved in the family business." ”

When Lin Ran heard the last sentence, she frowned slightly: "It doesn't involve the family business?" ”

"That's right," Uncle Cheng stepped forward to help Lin Ran open the car door, "And it's not that it doesn't involve on the surface, I have checked in detail in the past few days, and indeed, this little son is protected by He Dehou like a girl, and because of this, He Shen is very bad with him." ”

"Like a girl?" Lin Ran, who was sitting in the back seat, raised her eyebrows, "Uncle Cheng, can you explain this sentence in detail?" ”

Only then did Uncle Cheng realize that he had said the wrong thing: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean you. ”

Lin Ran just casually made a joke, raised his hand and pressed his temples, which were already starting to ache, before speaking again: "Go on." ”

"Uh...... I'd love to continue, but that's all I can know, sorry. ”

"That's the only way?" Lin Ran forced her brain to start working again, "Don't you think this is very wrong?" ”

"You doubt him?" Uncle Cheng keenly sensed what Lin Ran meant, and asked.

Lin Ran let herself relax completely, supporting herself only with her seat: "Sort of, the current situation is too complicated, I can't think about it too much." ”

"It may be rude to say that, but I thought you'd be suspicious of Ho or ...... Lin Cheng. ”

"These two people, one is an old fox and the other is a poisonous snake," Lin Ran did not hide his attitude towards these two people, "They are both smart people, and they will not use such clumsy means against me at such a time." ”

The news that Uncle Cheng gave her actually made Lin Ran 100% believe that this matter was definitely from the handiwork of the third young master of the He family, if it really did not involve the family business at all-like she did before-then his information would definitely not be so little, and although Lin Jinghe had nothing to do with these things, the person who could make him say a noteworthy sentence was definitely not an existence that could casually deal with the past.

Lin Ran looked sideways at the quiet street outside the car window, and couldn't help but think about these entangled forces in the city of Yancheng.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her grandfather definitely didn't leave him in Yancheng for no reason, even now, Lin Ran didn't dare to say that she knew her grandfather very well, how did he get to this position back then, Lin Ran grew up listening to this story.

Uncle Cheng let out a long sigh when he heard the girl sitting in the back seat, as if she was worried about something, no one knew better than him how this little girl got to where she is today, but many people were afraid of her, but they also forgot that she was just a girl in her early twenties.

"At this time, it's better not to think too much." Uncle Cheng finally couldn't help but speak, "There is still a period of time in the past, you might as well sleep in the back seat, you have dealt with too many things today." ”

Uncle Cheng has always known her preferences, this car is the most comfortable one she feels to make, while waiting for the red light, Lin Ran gently knocked on the seat, and the eyes hidden under the shadow of her eyelashes were as calm as the deep pool of ancient wells.

What would it be like to let He Dehou call her personally?

Lin Ran couldn't help but think of the news that Uncle Cheng had just told her, and she couldn't help but weigh whether the news was true or false, if it was true, then it would be reasonable for He Dehou to ask her to talk about it.

But would the Qin family really do this?

This is the most important factor for Lin Ran's skepticism about this news, while the Qin family wants to ensure the momentum of the expansion of their own business, how can they make Qin Wenlin an enemy, after all, Qin Wenlin still has a foundation for so many years, and he is forced to be anxious I don't know what will happen, and it is not a good tactic to attack from both sides.

These things were still swirling in her mind until Uncle Cheng parked the car outside the teahouse, and she handed her coat to the waiter who had come to open the door for her, and then walked straight in, until a man in a tuxedo pushed open a beautiful door in front of her, allowing her to see He Dehou making tea in the room.

Lin Ran stopped the waiter who wanted to remind He Dehou out loud, and sat opposite He Dehou without saying a word, watching the middle-aged man who was still dressed in Tang clothes skillfully and calmly fiddling with the whole set of tea sets, and for a while the whole room was only left with the gurgling sound when the water was boiled.

For Lin Ran, the tea ceremony has nothing to do with her, maybe for He Dehou, this is a way to calm him down, but the method Lin Ran uses to calm himself has always been to go to the shooting range and practice the gun for a few hours.

When He Dehou put a cup of tea in front of her, Lin Ran took it up and tasted it out of politeness, and then immediately showed a strange expression.
