She knew a long time ago that many people were waiting to see her jokes, waiting to see that she was not doing well as they expected, so she couldn't let others see the slightest bit of her negative emotions, so she had to carry it herself.

She hated Qiao An'an in her heart, and kept complaining that a bowl of water was flat but unconditionally biased towards Qiao An'an's Qiao Jingyi, but she always had a glimmer of hope for Zhou Xixue.

That's her real mother.

Lin Ran always hoped that when she was hurt by Qiao An'an and slandered by Bai Ling, an outsider, Zhou Xixue could believe in her like other mothers, even if she said something on her side.

And everything that happened tonight completely shattered her already slim hopes.

Because I was looking forward to it, I was hurt even more......

The heated room was relatively drier, and Lin Ran only felt a burning dry pain from his throat to his chest, and he didn't have the strength to turn his head and look directly at Mo Zhi.

She sniffed, her eyes were red, and she finally came out with a complete sentence: "Second uncle, thank you for coming over to help me today, I'm fine, I just want to sleep a little." ”

The originally soft voice had a thick nasal voice, which disturbed Mo Zhi's heart.

"Don't move." His voice was low and hoarse, with an unmistakable meaning.

"Second uncle, I ......" Lin Ran's voice did not fall, and she was already wrapped in a warm feeling.

The clear smell of cologne on the man's body was like a soft and proper net, warming her whole body.

Lin Ran was loosely circled by him in a half-kneeling posture on the ground, and the man's scorching temperature was overwhelming, domineering and impermeable, but there was a real gentleness.

"Ran."

Lin Ran didn't speak, for fear that he would hear anything wrong from his voice again.

The man was within reach, but she didn't have the sense of crisis that she usually faced when she saw a natural enemy in Mo Zhi, and another strange aura swept over, making her whole body soft and her mind chaotic.

The fire in Mo Zhi's eyes burned even more, and his voice was full of helplessness and connivance: "You are really ...... What a child's temper. ”

He bit the last word, his hands suddenly forced, and Lin Ran fell into his arms unexpectedly.

Her ears exploded like summer thunder, and her head was blank.

His fingers clawed at his shirt and scratched a wrinkle in the ironed fabric, but for some reason, he had no intention of breaking free.

"I feel uncomfortable, cry if I want to cry, don't think that everything is light and light to grow up." After hugging her for a while, Mo Zhi reached out and rubbed the top of her head, and said gently.

The movements were soft, the tone was soft, Lin Ran clenched his shirt tightly, and the tears couldn't help flowing down anymore, wetting his clothes, and making him feel distressed.

For Lin Ran, from the beginning of that family banquet, a series of pains almost did not stop for a moment, and the surrounding environment made her dare not cry out loud even more, as if as long as the tears slipped, weakness would be released from the bottom of her heart and swallow her whole.

She has no one to rely on, no need and no qualifications for weakness.

But at this moment, in front of her always natural enemies, she had to allow herself to be weak.

Lin Ran fell asleep.

Later, she thought for a long time, why she could cry in Mo Zhi's arms until she fell asleep, she felt that it should be the warmth that she hadn't felt for a long time exuded from him, and this feeling made her feel at ease.

The next day, I woke up refreshed.

In the morning, Mo Zhi went out on business, and the waiter of the hotel came to deliver the meal, although the outside was disturbed by yesterday's coming-of-age ceremony, but those who wanted to inquire about the news had already been stopped outside by Mo Zhi's men.

On a cold day, after experiencing such a vicious battle, Lin Ran didn't want to move, so she nested quietly in the hotel alone, reading her professional books.

It wasn't until three or four o'clock in the afternoon that Ji Anran called and strongly asked to share the latest gossip with her.

Anyway, no one would dare to follow Miss Ji and try to fish in troubled waters, Yin Jiang, who was in charge of staying in the hotel to ensure safety, asked the housekeeper to take Ji Anran upstairs after asking Lin Ran.

In just a few minutes, Ji Anran came over with a large bag of snacks and milk tea.

"Are you alright?" Ji Anran saw that her eyes were a little red and swollen, thinking of what the Qiao family did last night, and asked worriedly.

Lin Ran is really embarrassed to let outsiders know that he cried until he fell asleep in Mo Zhi's arms, and once this spreads, Mo Zhi's tall personality may collapse: "It's nothing, I really couldn't sleep last night, I stayed up all night and scrolled through Weibo." ”

led Ji Anran to the living room to sit down, and motioned for her to eat the things on the coffee table casually, Lin Ran lazily grabbed a pillow and hugged it: "Why did you come here at this point?" ”

As soon as Ji Anran sat down, he couldn't wait to say: "After going home yesterday, my dad made a round of calls, and then told me this morning that Rong Pengtao, who instructed the group of people to do it, had a car accident on the highway leaving the city in the early hours of yesterday morning, and is still in the hospital intensive care unit and is not awake......"

"Your dad is so cruel that he didn't even ask directly?" Lin Ran was surprised.

The calculation in my mind was that even if the mastermind did not do it himself, he would be sentenced to several years.

"No, our family is a serious businessman, the law-abiding kind!" Ji Anran glared at her, and then explained, "When my dad found out about Rong Pengtao's whereabouts, he was already in the hospital. ”

Lin Ran frowned, it wasn't the Ji family's people who did it, and it wasn't Mo Zhi's style to directly put people into the intensive care unit without taking any evidence.

The conversation between the two in the car that day suddenly broke into his mind again, although he could get Qiao An'an right every word, but the more Lin Ran thought about it, the more wrong it became.

Putting all this aside, what made Lin Ran suspicious the most was that a person like Rong Pengtao, who was scheming and had no shortage of means, could not be used by Qiao Anan or Qin Hanhai at all.

It would be more realistic to convince her that the charisma of these two people was so great that it would be better to let her die head-on.

Ji Anran looked at Lin Ran, who was silent, with a solemn expression: "Lin Ran, this is not right, looking at Qiao An'an and Bai Ling's performance last night, if they were really thoughtful to this extent, they would not be brought down so easily." ”

"I know it, but I don't have a clue." Lin Ran took a sip of a cup of milk tea, took off her slippers, and the whole person was in a mess on the sofa, "But I think your father will also investigate if he knows about it, if he can't even find out, let's take a break as soon as possible." ”

She thought of one thing and stopped to drink milk tea: "Speaking of this, I remembered, why did your father suddenly speak last night, and you told him all the plans?" ”

Ji Anran shook his head: "No, I asked my dad when I got home, and he said that the time was ripe, and he couldn't let me carry the black pot for Bai Ling all the time...... But how did he know that the man had a flying sky in his tattoo, and I called him before I could ask. ”

This confirms the speculation in Lin Ran's heart when she woke up today and reviewed her words and deeds at the banquet last night.

She felt that Ji Kangde actually knew that Bai Ling had done this from back then, and even knew that everyone who did it had a good name, but because he couldn't get evidence, he tried his best to completely whitewash the Ji family, and the lynching in private not only affected the entire family, but also might not be able to wash off the dirty water on Ji Anran's body.

So when this group of people were arrested for kidnapping themselves, Bai Ling, who stood up in full view of everyone and forced Bai Ling, one of the masterminds, under such pressure, Bai Ling, a little girl in her early twenties, would definitely show her flaws.

And there is no need for Bai Ling to say what she has done, as long as she shows a little flaw, Ji Kande will even beat and eliminate, completely making her unable to turn over.

Not only that, although the Ji family benefited, this move still helped her a lot, and it was even equivalent to giving Mo Zhi a favor.

Lin Ran felt that in the future, don't worry about anything, these spirits have to walk around, otherwise a word may become a real hammer that will be smashed on his head in the future.

"The two of us shared weal and woe yesterday, and if you don't tell me the truth at this time, it's too uninteresting." Ji Anran glanced at her and said.
