Lin Ran's flat hand on the window slowly clenched into a fist, stubbornly against the glass, she would not believe in any kind of feelings, let alone love, everything is just an entanglement of interests after tearing off the surface, why bother with those hypocritical and exaggerated surfaces?

Uncle Cheng will also stay in the townhouse these days if necessary, he doesn't know when he will get up, looked at the back of Lin Ran, who was looking out the window, and lowered his voice and spoke: "Miss...... While you were sleeping, Mrs. Qiao, who is also your mother, Ms. Zhou Xixue, called to look for you. ”

Lin Ran didn't look back, and said lightly: "What did she say?" ”

"He didn't ask you anything else," Uncle Cheng's voice was also extremely calm, after all, this was created by his professional quality, "just said that she recently went to Yancheng on business, and ......"

Lin Ran noticed Uncle Cheng's hesitation, she turned around, and the only thing on her face that could be called a change of expression was to raise her eyebrows: "And?" ”

"She asked when you were going out for something with her." Uncle Cheng watched Lin Ran's movements, and I don't know why he suddenly felt that the temperature in the room was a little low, and over the years, Lin Ran, a girl, has become more and more elusive and mysterious. If Lin Ran in the past showed everything on her face, then the current Lin Ran, except for herself, probably no one knows what she is thinking.

I don't know how long it took, Uncle Cheng finally heard Lin Ran speak again, her voice didn't know why there was an inexplicable pleasure, the reason why Uncle Cheng called this feeling inexplicable was because he felt that it was not so much that Lin Ran was looking forward to meeting his mother, but ...... She's going to go on a campaign.

Lin Ran smiled: "Okay, I'll call her back later, I'll come back a little late after class tomorrow, and the rest will trouble you Uncle Cheng." ”

"One more thing, Miss." Uncle Cheng didn't close the door and go out immediately, "It's about the place of Yancheng." ”

Lin Ran nodded, walked to the head of the bed and sat down against the backboard: "Sit down and say Uncle Cheng, you can get the wine in the wine cabinet yourself, just give me a glass of hot milk later." ”

Because the time spent with Lin Ran was too long, Uncle Cheng didn't care about any etiquette issues, and casually found a chair and sat down: "The Xia family, which is quite low-key here in Yancheng, you know it, don't you?" ”

Lin Ran never hid Uncle Cheng from this kind of thing, she pondered for a while: "I know, but I just know, after all, the distance problem is here, I only know that they are the head snakes in Yancheng, and they have had a little unpleasantness with Jing and his brother before." ”

"Yes," Uncle Cheng nodded, "But it's strange that the most promising thing in the Xia family now is not the old man's own son, but a mixed-race subordinate." ”

Lin Ran raised his eyebrows a little strangely: "Half-blood? Not to mention anything else, if it is not a person from their own family, the Xia family will actually rest assured that they will hand over their entire family business to an outsider? ”

"It's actually very strange, his father turned out to be just the old man's driver, and he died because he blocked the old man's knife, and I'm pretty sure he was just a kid at that time." Uncle Cheng couldn't help frowning when he looked at Lin Ran's bare feet, and Lin Ran also noticed this: "It's okay, I'm going to sleep directly later, I won't catch a cold, you go on." ”

"No one can say for sure his ancestry, but knowing that it was because of his biological brother, he stayed across the street from his hotel. And I've been trying to ease relations with my family. ”

"Does Grandpa know about this?" After getting Uncle Cheng's affirmative answer, Lin Ran continued, "Then why didn't he ......?"

Uncle Cheng knew that in this matter, Old Man Lin actually didn't tell anyone: "The old man doesn't want to get too close to the Xia family, after all, the Lin family's own style is different from theirs, and you also know it in your heart, don't you, otherwise you won't always be cautious in your words and deeds." So we can only be careful, generally we go our separate ways and never cross that so-called line. But this person is different, he never cares about this, he ...... It can be said to be unscrupulous. ”

"Unscrupulous?" Lin Ran couldn't help laughing, "Which one of the people related to these things is not unscrupulous?" ”

Uncle Cheng also smiled: "He gets angry easily, but he can control it, he will never dirty his hands when he does things, and he also has a group of minions who are extremely loyal to him, as long as he moves his fingers, he can do everything for him." ”

Lin Ran pondered for a moment: "Sounds like a complete careerist. ”

"You help me find out about this person, not just him," Lin Ran said after thinking about it, "Help me find out the real cause of death of his mother and father." ”

"Are you suspicious of his pedigree?" Uncle Cheng asked. 7 Q

"It can't be trusted by the old man of the Xia family just because his father blocked the knife, I suspect that he himself has a lot to do with the old man." Lin Ran didn't say it all, on the one hand, because she wasn't sure if this matter was true, and on the other hand, some of the words stopped at the point.

Uncle Cheng obviously understood what she meant: "Yes, I know. ”

"Go and rest, Uncle Cheng," Lin Ran looked at the exquisitely decorated interior, and there was obvious tiredness in her voice, "The battle we are going to fight this time is not a day or two that can be over. ”

After saying goodbye to Uncle Cheng and returning to the bedroom and closing the door, Lin Ran picked up his phone, looked at the string of numbers that seemed to be engraved in his soul for various reasons, smiled, and then pressed the dial button.

Just like she remembered, she picked it up after a few rings, and the male voice that had become a little distorted because of the phone rang gently in her ears: "Ran? ”

Lin Ran almost sneered because of this title, she closed her eyes and controlled her emotions before she began to speak: "Yes, it's me...... How are you now? ”

"I'm in Yancheng, how about I talk about the specific things when I meet with you?" Zhou Xixue was obviously very surprised that she was able to call, "What, I was speechless in surprise?" Mom brought you your favorite snacks this time, but because they are freshly made, the shelf life is not very long, so you have to take them back as soon as possible and share them with your roommates to eat them quickly. ”

"How do you ...... Also to Yancheng? Although Lin Ran's tone was full of surprise, but that emotion was only preserved in her tone, in the small piece of world illuminated by the bedside lamp, Lin Ran's face sitting by the head of the bed was as calm as the most perfect sculpture, and it could even be said that he was expressionless.

"A little bit of work, but mostly because I want to meet you." Zhou Xixue's voice was full of affection, this feeling sounded so sincere, if it weren't for Lin Ran knowing what she wanted to do, she would definitely be completely blinded by her, "After all, you are my biological daughter." ”

Lin Ran also laughed cooperatively: "Do you have time tomorrow afternoon, I'll look for you after class?" ”

The tone also adjusted to a cheerful one full of anticipation.

After getting Zhou Xixue's affirmative reply and chatting meaninglessly, Zhou Xixue deduced that her things had not been packed up yet, and she hung up the phone after saying a few words of sorry.

She was a little careless at first, and if she looked closely, there was a slight wrinkle between her eyebrows, as if she was very impatient with some things, and then she seemed to react suddenly, Lin Ran, who was sitting loosely against the head of the bed, straightened her back violently, and the blood on her face suddenly faded.

She took a deep breath, as if trying to calm down, and took a deep breath uncontrollably, the muscles and bones in her neck accentuated by the vigorous movement, as if they were about to break through her skin.

God knows how hard she worked to keep her from dropping the phone directly, if she hadn't thought that she would have to bother to explain if she had dropped the phone, Lin Ran would have thrown the phone at the window a long time ago.

For Lin Ran, she is not desperate now, but just an irrepressible anger just because she thinks of Zhou Xixue.

She let out a short, obviously mocking smile, but she didn't know who the taunt was for.

It's Zhou Xixue...... Or herself.

Lin Ran looked up at the sky when she went out, the strong sunlight made her can't help but squint her eyes, even in spring, this city that has always been dry ushered in a very good weather today, the blue sky is empty and high, the sun is excellent but because of the wind and people can only feel pleasant warmth, and the wind that blows in the face also carries the fragrance of fresh grass and trees, so that everyone can feel the vitality of spring.

She smiled, put on her sunglasses and sat in the black car parked in front of her, Lin Ran said to Uncle Cheng who was sitting in the driver's seat as if she had thought of something: "Uncle Cheng, go back and help me contact the driving school, I think it's time to learn to drive." ”

"Have you started to dislike my driving skills, miss?" Uncle Cheng responded to her jokingly, and Lin Ran couldn't help laughing: "Don't joke Uncle Cheng, I have to learn how to practice driving from you in the future, I just suddenly wondered how I felt when I was driving." ”

Uncle Cheng knew that Lin Ran didn't like to talk too much in the car, so he didn't bother to find topics and began to concentrate on driving, which also gave Lin Ran a chance to look at the streets of the old town of Yancheng again.
