But what Lin Ran didn't know was that after she left, there was a conversation between Old Man Lin and Uncle Cheng in the study.

After Lin Ran left, I don't know how much time passed, and Old Man Lin, who had been sitting upright on the chair, finally spoke again: "Old Cheng." ”

Uncle Cheng, who had been hiding behind the curtains, finally revealed his figure and spoke extremely calmly: "What's the matter?" ”

"Why don't you think I found out that my little granddaughter is not a lamb waiting to be slaughtered?" The old man said this with an obvious smile, he leaned back in his chair relaxedly, and let out a long sigh of relief, "I didn't expect that there was actually a wolf inside." ”

"But it's better to have a wolf in the skin of a lamb than a lamb." Old Man Lin seemed to be talking to Uncle Cheng, and he seemed to be just talking to himself, "I'm old, I can't shelter her like this for the rest of my life." ”

Uncle Cheng's expression was still unmoving, as if the old man had nothing to do with him in any emotion: "Then old man, what are you going to do next?" ”

"What should I do?" Old Man Lin repeated this sentence, still maintaining that smile and continuing, "Lao Cheng, she is the only child left by my biological son, even if she didn't let me realize that she was a wolf like today, everything in the Lin family still has to be handed over to her." ”

The old man's voice gradually lowered, but the smile on his face expanded more and more: "Even if it is controlled by someone in the back, at least on the surface, it is firmly in her hands." ”

"Protect her, Lao Cheng." Old Man Lin stood up with his hands propped up on the chair with delicately carved armrests, "Just like what you've been doing for so many years." ”

"Yes, just like I always do." Uncle Cheng replied, and after a pause, he asked, "So...... Where is the other one? ”

The old man showed a rare look of exhaustion, and the gray-haired old man sighed, and after a long time, he said softly: "Let it be as it should be, since he is unwilling to let go...... Then I can't help it. ”

Uncle Cheng hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke: "Old man, that's ...... after all."

"Lao Cheng, I think you should be the one who understands best." Old Man Lin raised his hand and interrupted Uncle Cheng's words, "Since that year, my child, from the beginning to the present, has always been only one, and has never been ...... It's just my little princess. ”

Old Man Lin opened his most beloved pocket watch, and after the cover popped open, the small portrait on the back of the cover was revealed, and the old man's eyes rarely revealed an extremely gentle meaning.

It was a man smiling quietly, even if the portrait was black and white, the photo had already turned yellow and brittle, and it could be seen from the contours of his face, it should be a very beautiful and gentle young man.

And his eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Lin Ran.

The old man looked at the portrait quietly for a while, then gently closed the pocket watch, and put it back in the inner pocket of the clothes with great care, Uncle Cheng had already picked up his coat and stood behind the man in silence.

Old Man Lin pushed open the door of the study and strode into what seemed to be endless darkness.

Uncle Cheng, who was sitting in this tea room and slowly sipping tea, came out of his memories when he put down the tea cup, and the girl came over to refill the tea for him, but he waved his hand and refused: "Enough, I'll leave later." ”

The girl nodded, quickly packed her things, bowed, and stood aside, quietly waiting for the next command.

"Go and contact the people in the east," looking at the white smoke curling up in the corner of the room, I don't know how long it took for Uncle Cheng to slowly speak, "Stare at Wu Ziping, don't relax a little." ”

The girl replied, "Yes." Zhou Huai'an, who had been staring at it before......"

"Keep watching, Wu Ziping's news should be given to him a little bit." Uncle Cheng stood up, and his legs and feet were sore because he had been sitting for too long, so he couldn't help but shake his head, "It's old, it's really old." It's not okay to be old and not accept it—"

"After helping the eldest lady deal with these monkeys who think that the tiger can be the king if he is not there, it's time to mention the matter of retirement to the old man."

Although Lin Ran has tried her best to coordinate in the past two days, these trivial matters still slowed down her progress in saving books, and after talking to Uncle Cheng from the tea room, she didn't go back to the dormitory, and went to the library directly with her laptop.

Going around and around finally found an empty spot in the corner, Lin Ran put the things away, swiped the student card and went to the borrowing room, and after checking the book number, he looked at the bookshelf in front of him and was silent.

The reason why she dared to go out and talk about things when the task was so heavy was because there was only one of those reference books sent by the other party, which she hadn't read much when she was preparing for the talent exchange plan exam before.

The remaining books, Lin Ran had already read them by heart in that exam.

It's just that after a while has passed, Lin Ran sighed, raised his hand and took down the few books he needed, for the sake of safety, he still had to go through these books from beginning to end.

It's just that when he opened a book casually and saw a contract law topic, Lin Ran still couldn't control himself from thinking of Mo Zhi.

All the words she said to Mo Zhi were suppressed in her heart, and she never showed her side easily, everyone thought that Lin Ran was an indifferent Buddhist person, but in fact, her heart was the affection and timidity that was revealed that day.

When she is not sure that she will not be hurt, Lin Ran will definitely not try to give emotions easily.

After shaking his head and putting on his usual pair of radiation-proof glasses, Lin Ran emptied all these perceptual thoughts, emotional problems can always be put aside, and in the face of making money, everything must be put behind.

It took thirty seconds to calm herself down, Lin Ran didn't think so much anymore, she first spread out the book, then opened the notes sorted out from the previous exam in the computer, and began to quickly review the books according to the method she decided.

Because it is to review the content of the past, Lin Ran's speed is still very fast, although there are many books, but after reading for more than an hour, it is over.

Lin Ran stretched out on the seat, didn't want to bother to take off the glasses again, took out the thermos cup from the bag, and walked slowly to the water dispenser set up on each floor to pick up a glass of water.

Speaking of which, the timing of her work is quite coincidental, everyone has already passed the beginning of the semester, whether it is good that they don't need to put so much pressure on themselves, or they have passed the beginning of the adaptation period to find their own pace, many people no longer have the momentum to soak in the library from morning to night.

Otherwise, she would not want to find a place to sit down at this time, even if it is a printer, there will be a long queue here.

After taking the manuscript he had printed, Lin Ran did not delay much, and went back to his position directly and put himself into work again.

When Lin Hong came out of the office of the library borrowing room, he glanced at it casually and saw Lin Ran nestled in the corner through the window.

Although he has a very good impression of Lin Ran, Lin Ran also has the impression in his heart that he is comfortable in doing anything, but correspondingly, he does not show any dedication, even if it is such a thing as a bachelor's and master's degree, he also handed in the materials step by step and did not ask, unlike other candidates, I wish to ask 800 times a day when the results will be available, and even hollowed out my mind to find a relationship, hoping to set a quota.

Of course, this is not a big problem, anyway, her strength is there, and the previous Su Da incident has long proved that she is not a soft persimmon that can be kneaded by others. But Lin Hong himself belongs to the type who wants to use all opportunities to go up, and he actually doesn't like her mentality very much.

But now he doesn't look at Lin Ran like this anymore, and when he is concentrating on concentrating with a pair of glasses in front of the computer, Lin Ran has become completely different.
