Chapter 90: Not a Drop of Water
As soon as these words came out, Lin Ran immediately wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide herself.
What kind of broken excuse is this blurted out, it sounds like a god stick who is addicted to feudal superstition and can't extricate himself!
Sure enough, Mo Zhi didn't even look at her, but Lin Ran still tasted a subtle mockery from his tone: "Then why don't you go to the door of the people's court a few more times these days." β
Lin Ran shrunk his neck, not daring to refute.
After all, it was the sentence that she didn't have in her head, and she rushed to send it to people to ridicule.
Completely muted Su Mingyi, who was still trying to persuade in her mind, Lin Ran calculated the time, there are still four days to Chinese New Year's Eve, leaving aside the Chinese New Year's Eve to the third day of the first lunar month, there have been arrangements and no one in Mozhi's company, she can read books here in Mozhi for nearly ten days, plus the days after her grandparents left, it is already a very ample period of review time.
It wasn't until she was standing in the sunlight in front of the building waiting for Qin Yi to drive her home that Lin Ran reacted ignorantly, why did she agree to come down?
The Q version of Su Mingyi in his mind became alive again, and he jumped and poked her with hatred: "You're stupid!" Silly home! You just wait to be sold and count the money for him! β
Lin Ran pulled the car door and sat in, sighing melancholy in her heart-
The library is not even open for the Chinese New Year, and it is too difficult to find a place to read in peace. Forget it, if it's sold, it's sold.
Moreover...... Being sold by Mo Zhi is better than going home and being eaten alive by Qiao Jingyi and Qiao Anan.
The second elder of the Lin family is even more at ease with Mo Zhi than at Lin Ran, and when he heard her mention this matter at dinner, he agreed without any doubt, or when he was about to finish eating, Mrs. Lin asked: "Ranran, I remember that Mo Zhi's company is not close to our home, do you need to arrange a car for you at home?" β
"The second uncle said that Qin Yi would pick me up every day, otherwise he would have to apply for a pass for their company." Lin Ran replied, "They said they would pick me up at two o'clock in the afternoon, and then their company would send me back at seven o'clock when they got off work." β
β¦β¦ Why do you think that the second uncle has premeditated?
As soon as the words fell, Lin Ran muttered again in her heart.
"You see that people don't do this thing," Mrs. Lin couldn't help but praise after hearing this, "Everything is arranged properly, and we don't have to worry about it at all." β
Old Man Lin nodded, as if he had thought of something, and asked Lin Ran gently: "Ranran, did Lao Mo tell you what happened after we left?" β
When Lin Ran mentioned this, he was very entangled: "Grandpa, it's okay for me to live in the old house alone, and I don't need to trouble the second uncle." β
Even if it wasn't for what Su Mingyi said, she didn't want to live on Mo Zhi's side in her heart, how could any creature be able to live well by her natural enemies!
Not to mention studying hard and reading books attentively.
"You live alone, and your grandmother and I can't rest assured." After a pause, Old Man Lin showed a rare look of impatience on his face, "Besides, this side of the old mansion, as soon as we leave, it will not be peaceful." β
Regarding the chaos of the Lin family now, the old man seems to know it in his heart.
"Grandpa......"
Seeing that Lin Ran had his own thoughts on this matter, Old Man Lin waved his hand and interrupted her: "Ranran, don't worry about these things, read your book carefully." Our old couple is still alive and well, and it won't be their turn to jump around. β
After dinner, Lin Ran watched TV with her grandmother for a while, and then went back to the house to continue reading.
Watching her figure disappear upstairs, the smile on Mrs. Lin's face slowly disappeared, and she turned to Old Man Lin who was reading a book next to her: "Old man, do you know anything about Ranran?" β
"Don't guess, this kid probably already knows what's going on at home since the night he came back." Old man Lin put down the book, sat next to his old wife and whispered, "In that situation in her family, if Ran Ran was an innocent little girl who didn't know anything, there would have been no bones left to be eaten by the two people surnamed Qiao." β
Thinking of this situation, Mrs. Lin only felt distressed: "Ran Ran has not said it all these years, I thought Zhou Xixue was good to her, after all, she was her own daughter...... Who would have thought that if it could be like this, if we knew this, we shouldn't let Ran Ran go back to Sioux City, we should let her grow up with us. β
Old Man Lin pondered for a while: "Do you still remember Ranran's uncle?" β
"The one from the Zhou family? Why did you mention her all of a sudden? Mrs. Lin was a little confused.
"At the beginning, Zhou Huai'an wanted to leave Ran Ran in the Zhou family, and what he promised Zhou Xixue was the status of the eldest lady of the Zhou family. You also know that he himself has a daughter, half a year younger than Lin Ran, and it is enough to show sincerity to be able to give this status. Old Man Lin slowly talked about the past, "Zhou Xixue didn't agree, and had a big trouble with him, and since then he has cut off relations with his family. β
Hearing this, Mrs. Lin was silent for a while, and finally sighed: "People...... Zhou Xixue was the same back then, who would have thought that she cried so much after the accident that she broke her liver and intestines...... Alas. β
"And Ran Ran is like this now, it can't be said that it is bad." Old Man Lin smiled, but no matter how his wife asked, he talked about him left and right, and didn't finish the rest of the words.
His eyes were full of satisfaction and pride.
The old couple didn't know what Lin Ran talked about this night, what should they do when they got up the next morning, and after lunch, they wanted to go back to read a book, but they were forced by Mrs. Lin to go back to the house to take a nap: "It's not bad for these two hours, you can sleep well for a while, otherwise you will be sleepy in the afternoon." β
Lin Ran didn't have the habit of taking a nap, she was still a little foggy when she got off Qin Yi's car this night, and the young lady at the front desk who took her to the small lounge saw that she was having fun, so she teased her: "Isn't it particularly difficult to study law?" β
Holding a cup of honey lemonade specially brewed for her by the young lady, Lin Ran reflected for a while before nodding stunned: "It's not difficult to study law, but the exam is quite difficult." β
After speaking, seeing the young lady covering her mouth and laughing, Lin Ran realized that she had said something strange, and hurriedly rounded the field with a red face: "No, no, I mean it's actually not difficult, as long as you study hard, it's easy to say anything." β
The young lady at the front desk laughed enough, and reached out to bring her the fruit bowl next to her: "There is fruit here, you remember to eat it." I'm at the front desk, if you have anything to do with me, just call 01 on the internal line, then you read a book, I'll go out first? β
"Thank you, sister," Lin Ran replied obediently, "You can get busy first if you have something." I'm just here to read, and I'm not going to go out and walk around. β
After the small lounge was quiet, Lin Ran took out the reference books and stationery in her bag, tied her long hair into a ponytail, and continued to read along the place marked in the morning.
I have to say that the sound insulation of Mo Zhi's small lounge is very good, in this atmosphere without noise, Lin Ran's reading efficiency has been significantly improved, and in less than an hour, he read the books that he had to read at home for nearly a morning.
After finishing the last case analysis question, Lin Ran put down the pen, moved her stiff neck, and just stood up to take a break, her brows moved, and she heard something wrong.
There was a faint noise from the direction of the doorway, and she thought for a moment, pushed the door of the lounge open a crack, and listened intentlyβ
Mixed with the sound of hurried high heels, it was the anxious voice of the young lady at the front desk just now: "Miss Xu! Miss Xu! Mo Dong is in the office for a meeting, really not in the lounge! β
Then a sharp female voice snorted disdainfully: "Then I'll go to the lounge and wait for him, I don't believe that he will be able to drive until tomorrow morning!" β
"Miss Xu! It's really Mo Dong who said that I can't see you, I'm just a part-time worker, please don't embarrass me......"
Listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, Lin Ran hurriedly moved away from the door, almost the moment she just got out of the way, the door of the small lounge was pushed open fiercely, and a gust of fragrant wind came to her face, so that she sneezed unconsciously.
