Chapter 263: Lin Ran, who lacks cultivation
Lin Ran hesitated, Su Mingyi also knew about the affairs of her family, let alone the affairs of the fourth room, and the reason why Lin Jinghe left home was even clearer than her younger sister.
But this matter is the deepest secret in her heart, and no one knows about it except Lin Jinghe......
In the end, she shook her head: "It's nothing, I'll talk about it when I figure it out myself." β
What she didn't say, Su Mingyi would never force her, and the man looked at her with a frown: "It's best if you can figure it out yourself, but is it my delusion or what's going on, you have lost too much weight than before." β
"It's not an illusion," Lin Ran said proudly, "This is my weight loss result...... Ah, it hurts! β
Su Mingyi withdrew the hand that slapped her on the back of the head and opened the store door for her: "Lose weight? Let's not say that you are a foodie, let's just say that you have thin arms and thin legs, and then lose it. What's the matter, Second Master Mo said that he was taking care of you, didn't he give you food? β
Lin Ran held his head and looked at him vigilantly, for fear that he would be slapped again: "I don't know how to lose weight, just think of how good the weight loss results are, I have to envy a group of people when I say it, I have to say it, I don't say it, I'll shut up." β
After speaking, she raised her hand and made a zipper gesture on her mouth, ending the topic.
Su Mingyi looked at her and shook his head, he was a regular customer of this shop, and after explaining what he wanted a few words, the things were quickly served, and he pushed one of the cups to Lin Ran: "Lemon black tea, add honey, I remember you like this." β
She thanked her, stirred the warm drink with a small teaspoon, and her eyebrows were full of satisfaction: "I thought it was someone who called me, but I didn't expect that after such a long time, your efficiency is still so fast." β
"You think everyone has procrastination like you?" Su Mingyi took a sip of his black coffee, and looked at Lin Ran's eyes full of disgust, "But I found out something interesting." β
He put down the cup: "He sat in the back to speculate on the stock used to launder money, did you see this?" β
"Well, that technique is him at first glance," Lin Ran pulled the corners of his mouth, and his tone also carried a mocking meaning, "At that time, when my brother just graduated, he was this method, and I couldn't bear to expose him." β
When the two of them met, Lin Ran was in middle school, and Su Mingyi was in college, to everyone's surprise, Su Mingyi was highly accomplished in economics, but he didn't study this major all the way.
The first time I heard Su Mingyi was reading literature, Lin Ran firmly broke her foot.
It wasn't until Lin Ran went to college by herself that she began to go to the economics department to audit in order to figure out some things, and after studying for half a semester, she finally knew why Su Mingyi chose such a second major as an undergraduate.
Because if you want to do something well, especially if you want to do something like an investment profession, you have to be decisive, fast and ruthless.
Lin Ran felt that if she hadn't gone to audit at that time, she would not have dealt with it as decisively as she did now when she faced all kinds of troubles that followed.
"Do you know who his partner is?" Faced with her habitual poisonous tongue, Su Mingyi ignored it and asked lightly.
Lin Ran shook his head honestly: "I can see that it is his method, but I am confused about who is behind." β
"It's the woman named Zhu Yunxi you asked me to check," Su Mingyi didn't sell to her, "I was idle, so I checked the first few stocks handled by Zhou Huai'an, and it turned out that they were all related to her." β
Lin Ran frowned: "Zhu Yunxi? β
Qin Hanhai's mother?
A flash of inspiration flashed in her mind: "So the reason why Zhou Huai'an came to Yancheng is because Zhu Yunxi is here, and he wants to come to meet his family?" β
But Su Mingyi shook his head: "Half of it is because of this." β
"Half?" Lin Ran raised her eyebrows, feeling a little strange, "Could it be that he really came to invest?" β
"How long have you not thought about it," Su Mingyi's eyes looking at her could only be said to be hating iron and not steel, "Think about it carefully, what impact will it have on Zhou Huai'an after you break the marriage contract with the Qin family?" β
She frowned slightly, and put down the black tea she had drunk half-drunk: "You mean, with Zhou Huai'an's character...... He wanted to test Zhu Yunxi's attitude? β
Looking at Su Mingyi's calm expression, Lin Ran snorted softly: "On the bright side, Zhou Huai'an is worried that he will be the boss and speculate in stocks in case something happens, and he can't afford to take this risk, but when the boss really cares, he is worried that he can't do what he wants." How can there be such a perfect thing in the world? β
"This can be regarded as the thinking of most people," Su Mingyi hooked the corners of his mouth, "but if you think about it deeply, it is very likely that he also wants to stand on his own, and these stocks are just his tricks?" β
"You mean, he might have come to me?" Lin Ran felt that it was still incredible, "But what's the use of him coming to me, is it too much to expect me to help him in this regard." β
Zhou Huai'an's purpose was never just to let her help disrupt the Qiao family, this point, Lin Ran had already felt from the initial meeting.
Su Mingyi picked up his coffee and said in a calm voice: "But you are now under the protection of a person named Mo Zhi. β
Lin Ran completely understood.
She chuckled lowly, "I see...... No wonder I was forced to give me a check, I thought that guy was thinking about some so-called family affection. β
"What are you going to do?"
"Hasn't he found me yet," Lin Ran still just smiled, "When he finds me, I'll talk to him about life." β
The two talked about things related to Zhou Huai'an again, Su Mingyi still had work to do, so he left first, Lin Ran sat there alone, looking at the lemon black tea that was still half left.
Su Mingyi and her have been misunderstood many times, but the two of them know in their hearts that love can never appear between them.
He once said that the reason why he became interested in Lin Ran was because he saw his past self in her, no matter how unworldly he was, it was impossible for him to have any abnormal feelings for himself.
And herself......
Lin Ran tugged at the corners of her mouth meaninglessly, since she met Mo Zhi and these peopleβor since Zhou Huai'an, who she had just seenβwhat happened to her could probably only be said to be a story of a Handan toddler, and it was a bit of a painting of a tiger that could not be an anti-dog, learning from others, not learning well, and slowly becoming the current nondescript appearance.
To this day, Lin Ran still doesn't know why she can't be a person like Su Mingyi.
Such a decisive killing, who looks affectionate, but can quickly cut through the mess at the right time.
When she first saw Su Mingyi, she felt that even if Su Mingyi was a gangster, he would be a gangster to the extreme. Before she met Su Mingyi, she never believed that there were really people in the world who had such a thing as "Taoism".
And his later evaluation of her was that when they met for the first time, he felt that the student spirit on her body was like a freshly refined sword, rampage, and wanted to get out of the sheath and see blood.
It's like himself a few years ago.
Lin Ran has always felt that being able to become Su Mingyi like this, which is the so-called extreme, she seems to be a little girl who has just fallen in love, subconsciously imitating him, imitating his movements, mantras, and demeanor......
It's a pity that she hasn't cultivated until now, as if she will never be able to have an epiphany at the final level, stuck in the realm of half-human and half-demon, she has been stumbling for so many years, and she never knows where to go.
Raising his hand to ask the waiter to bring another cup of coffee, Lin Ran made a phone call and went out, stirring the coffee while listening to the person opposite.
Although she is picky about coffee, in fact, Lin Ran herself knows that she is extremely dependent on coffee, she can work energetically all day without eating a day and relying on coffee alone, but if she is only allowed to eat and not give her coffee, then Lin Ran will be listless all day.
So when there is no type of coffee she is used to, even if it is a cup of instant coffee that is cheap, Lin Ran can be satisfied and gratefully drink it in one gulp.
