Lin Ran didn't make a sound, and waited quietly for him to say. To be honest, she wasn't curious about the second uncle's past, but she didn't ask anyone for help, Lin Ran had a place in her heart that was a little resistant to getting information about the second uncle from others, she felt that others shouldn't know more than herself, she was saying, in this man's aspect.

Even if Lin Ran knew that this was a very wrong situation, she needed information, all kinds of information, and it was impossible to make herself passive just because of this.

"Everyone has been young," Lin Cheng said slowly, a bit like a storyteller, "He was even a little like me when he was young, of course, not as extreme as me, but his ambition is too big, and he desperately wants to prove himself to everyone, and a business cooperation at that time can be regarded as getting what he wants and status......" Lin Cheng paused, looked at Lin Ran, and patiently explained, "What kind of cooperation is this, I'm afraid I didn't let you know back then, and I can't tell you now, but I can only tell you a little, This matter has nothing to do with you, as well as the current situation of the entire Yancheng. ”

"And then?"

"And then he came back, back to the city he had fled from." Lin Cheng's voice was full of nostalgia, "You obviously know better than me what happened later. ”

"Don't delay, do you want me to do it?"

"Tsk, you girl, it's really--business is not benevolent, I'm your uncle, can it be difficult for you?" Lin Cheng seemed to be very sorry, "It's a pity that I'm also a human being, there is always something I want, you are too arrogant, and I think that people all over the world should revolve around him." I can't help it, so I'll have to teach you a lesson. ”

Lin Ran's throat was a little dry.

Lin Cheng was silent for a long time before continuing: "But I didn't expect that Mo Zhi would mix with you and make him add such an obvious weakness. ”

"You can shut up." Lin Ran said in a low voice, something suddenly happened in her heart, as if she was eager to rush out, and she was uncomfortable pressed inside.

Such a man......

"You can ...... Shut up. Lin Ran's hand that was clenched up and shrunk in her sleeve trembled a little, and she took a deep breath, "I'll ask you again, why...... Will Zhou Huai'an and Wu Ziping receive gifts from you? ”

Lin Cheng was silent.

"Speak, speak."

"Ranran, I'm sorry, although you did a great job tonight, as a reward...... I can only answer you one question. He said that at this time, the big bell hanging in the room suddenly rang, and all kinds of time signals came and went, and Lin Ran was startled.

Suddenly, as if she felt something, she turned her head suddenly, and slowly walked out of a person from the door, her face was frighteningly gray, Lin Ran's throat tightened, and she called the person: "Brother Su......"

Lin Cheng had been away for I don't know how long, Su Mingyi sat quietly on the chair, his head down, his eyes were a little dazed, as if he was thinking about something, and as if his mind was empty, and he couldn't hold anything.

He traced in his memory all the girl sitting in the opposite seat, he thought that she was only because she was so frivolous that she had such a crazy plan, but he never imagined that the complex world she was in was a place he could not set foot in.

The Lin family, Zhou Huai'an and Wu Ziping, who were mentioned by Lin Ran in a casual but not very affordable tone......

This is the truth of why Lin Ran doesn't need him to protect.

They weren't people of the same world from the start.

The truth is hidden behind the layers of seemingly sinister and confusing complexities, the thing that can poke people's hearts at once.

Time is too fast, and children grow up too slowly, and the reason why regret is called regret is because when the word jumps out, it means that it is too late for anything.

Su Mingyi didn't know what kind of feelings were surging in his heart, he was at a loss like a person who was outside his consciousness, from the moment he heard Lin Ran talking to that man, all his memories of Lin Ran were like a tide, and they instantly washed down this man's eyes.

He was too late......

In a place he didn't know, Lin Ran seemed to have completely changed as a person, and he always felt that there was still time, and when he worked a little harder and took a step further, he would be able to bring Lin Ran under the scope of his wings.

There is no need to let this girl go through the things that Lin Jinghe has experienced. Home

But just when he felt that he had time, Lin Ran had grown to a point where he no longer needed his protection.

"I always thought ...... I can protect you," Su Mingyi finally spoke, his voice hoarse to the point of almost dryness, "But I only realized today that from the beginning, you didn't want my protection. ”

Lin Ran didn't know what he was going to say, he just sat there and didn't even look at Su Mingyi.

Su Mingyi smiled bitterly, raised his hand as if he wanted to touch her, but finally let it go: "But I will still wait for you, and you don't have to have any psychological burden, I just ...... Get used to it. ”

Accustomed to protecting you, accustomed to ...... to protect you.

Lin Ran wrapped her clothes tightly, but suddenly understood a sentence more deeply: "It's not that you don't report it, the time has not come": "You don't have to be like this, you are actually empathy for me and Wu, I think you should be clear." ”

"When the time has not come" is like the "creation" of people, you know that he is not a thing, you know that he will have to pay it back sooner or later, and you are full of thinking that you are the righteous revenge messenger, but sometimes, maybe the role you play is just cannon fodder, and the real revenge messenger is still halfway through.

Su Mingyi was frighteningly silent, staring at her unusually deadly, but Lin Ran nestled in the chair, napping with her eyes closed.

She was so tired during this time.

If you want to talk to her, you have to talk, Su Mingyi, who was blank in his brain, repeated this sentence repeatedly, and he felt an unprecedented panic - a few jokes that Lin Cheng understated, as well as a one-night experience, made him suddenly realize that Lin Ran seemed to be from a planet he didn't understand, and their way of thinking and style of doing things were so different from him.

These people, these people who seem to have no connection on the surface, they use each other, coexist with each other, and contain each other, but Su Mingyi was able to peek at the living space of these people for the first time, and with just one glance, he was shocked and did not dare to move forward.

In a saying that I don't know where it became popular, "You are not used to my life, and I have never heard of your life".

What should I do? Su Mingyi thought bitterly.

For Su Mingyi, protecting Lin Ran is the end of all struggles, his goal, hard-won, he cherishes every bit of it, whether it is in private life or work, he tries his best for her, but for Lin Cheng, there is still no attachment or even ...... Lin Ran, the end of the struggle, it has a more complex meaning.

They are calculating, they can't afford to make profits early, and sometimes they don't pull out a dime, but they are crazy in private. When Su Mingyi first met Lin Cheng, the man was walking through the street alone, at first glance, his temperament was usually almost plain, and his clothes were decent, but he didn't know what kind of person he was until today.

The first time he saw Lin Ran many years ago, she was looking at a book intently, and when she raised her head, she even blinked at him twice in confusion, polite and thoughtful, and gentle to perfectly interpret what it means to be a girl who grew up in a water town.

Su Mingyi felt that overnight, his outlook on life was subverted.

He looked at the time, and then pushed Lin Ran to wake up in a complicated mood, and whispered, "Wake up." ”

Lin Ran seemed to be really asleep, frowning and opening his eyes, as if he didn't know what time it was—when people were most tired, it was not easy to wake up once they fell asleep.

"Wait," Su Mingyi pressed her hand to push the door, "you wake up for a while and then go out." ”

Lin Ran waved his hand: "It's okay." ”

"There's something," Su Mingyi's hand holding her wrist was a little stronger, "and I have to talk to you about it." ”

Lin Ran was stunned for a moment, this sentence was more useful than anything else - she immediately came to her senses.

She sat there quietly, but Su Mingyi suddenly didn't know what to say, and after a long time, he whispered: "I'll tell you something serious, Lin Ran, I should have found a good time to say this, but I really can't help it tonight." ”

Lin Ran looked up at him.

Su Mingyi stared at her eyes tightly: "Come with me to Shencheng, I can give you shares, although it is definitely not as good as Mo Zhi's handwriting - whether it is public or private, these are what you deserve, but my profits are limited, if you feel that it is not enough to spend, I can support you...... As long as you don't lose a house by playing cards in one night, I can still afford it. ”
