From the very beginning of Qiao An'an and Qin Hanhai's incident, Lin Ran has always had only one request, that is, to ask for a public apology from the two of them.

As a result, how reluctant she is now, forcing those two people to the point of no way out.

"Yes, yes, they did something wrong, and they should have apologized to you." Qiao Jingyi knew that he was wrong, "But why bother to make everyone know about their own family's affairs?" ”

"Uncle Qiao, although it hasn't been long, I think you may have been busy with too many things recently, and you have forgotten about it."

Although Lin Ran's tone was flat, Qiao Jingyi always felt that he heard a taste of mockery.

He has been having the illusion these days that after Jo An'an's coming-of-age ceremony, this stepdaughter, for some reason, is becoming more and more strange in his eyes.

It's like a beast that has been resting before, and after being woken up, it slowly reveals its hidden claws and sharp teeth.

The cold light is shocking.

"If it wasn't for you cutting first and then playing, you arranged Qin Hanhai's courtship at the coming-of-age ceremony without mentioning it to me." Lin Ran's eyelashes trembled, and her eyes looked at the vehicle in front of her, "Isn't this matter still a family matter within the scope of our two families?" ”

Oh, at best, to add a mochi.

Qiao Jingyi hurriedly retorted: "It wasn't arranged by us, the young master of the Qin family suddenly came, and we were also very surprised." ”

At this time, they are still trying to dissociate themselves.

"We Mingren don't say secret words, do you think I will have no evidence in my hands if I say this?" Lin Ran felt funny, Qiao Jingyi and Qiao An'an deserved to be father and daughter, they were really innocent in the same vein.

Qiao Jingyi suddenly remembered who was standing on Lin Ran's side-

The second master of the Mo family, Mo Zhi.

At the moment, in a room with a fairly suitable heating temperature, I broke out in a cold sweat.

"That's it, Uncle Joe." Lin Ran didn't want to talk to this man any longer, the things that should have been explained had already been explained, but he really didn't understand what else was worth tangling with.

"Ranran, Ranran! Listen to me......"

Qiao Jingyi's voice was cut off by Lin Ran's action of pressing the hang up button without hesitation.

"You say, what do they don't understand?" The girl's eyes were full of doubts, "Why do you think that I will bear all the grievances myself in order to help them maintain their ethereal face?" ”

Or after they treated themselves like that at the bar mitzvah.

Mo Zhi drove steadily: "In their opinion, as long as they want, others must think about them desperately. ”

"When I was a child," Lin Ran held the mobile phone, leaning on the seat of the car with a look of reminiscence, "Second uncle, you should know, in fact, it is not such a character, it is not like this...... Buddha. ”

Mo Zhi naturally knows.

At that time, although she was too lazy to take care of her temperament, after all, she was held in the palm of her hand by the Lin family and Zhou Xixue, and she really deserved to be the pearl in her hand.

When you don't want something, you will be coquettish, and when you take away what you like, you will be willful, and you will be angry and cry.

Much more alive than it is now.

"After having Qiao An'an, I really want to be a real sister with her." In order to calm herself down, she put her face against the car window, "At that time, she was so young, and she followed me and called my sister one after another, I thought it was sincere." ”

"When you're young, you should be sincere." Mo Zhi didn't look at her, "After all, no one is born to be scathing." ”

"Perhaps. At that time, there was something, there was something, my mother and the two of them told me that they should let my sister be my sister, and I let it go. ”

"Until later, Qiao An'an's things became more and more excessive, and if I didn't give them, she would immediately cry very aggrieved, and she would pretend to speak for me in front of adults." Speaking of this, Lin Ran's tone slowly cooled down.

If she wasn't so precocious, and she had been taught by the old man to look at people a few times, she could see the pride hidden behind tears in Qiao An'an's eyes; I've heard others talk about calculating a few times, and I know what it means to advance by retreat and what is a stereotype - why later, as long as Qiao An'an cried, the Qiao family and his wife didn't need her to speak, so they came over to persuade her to let her sister go, don't worry about her?

"When did you find out?"

When Lin Ran heard this question, she laughed briefly, with a desolation that did not match her age: "Five years ago, since then I have completely lost my heart to them. ”

Five years ago, Qiao An'an fell in love with a string of pearl bracelets given to her by the Mo family as a New Year's gift, and that time she also had a temper, no matter what Qiao An'an said, she didn't give it, and even directly made her clear, telling her that if she was entangled again, this bracelet would be sent to the Lin family's old house in Yancheng immediately, and would not stay at home.

She even remembered that day, five years ago on January 26th, she was thinking about whether to add a few koi fish this year by the pond in the yard, Qiao An'an came over and asked her with a secret face-

Sister, do you think that our family is a dead person drowning in this pool?

Before she could react, she only felt a push coming from behind, and after falling into the cold pool, the last thing she saw was an innocent smile on Qiao An'an's face.

Everyone, including Ji Feiyu, thought that Qiao An'an had dragged her into the pool together, but in fact, after Qiao An'an pushed her into the water, she jumped down by herself after seeing the person who heard the sound coming.

So after being rescued, Qiao Anan just caught a cold, and she fell seriously ill in the hospital.

"There was such a big thing that happened, I thought that even if Qiao Jingyi didn't stand on my side, my mother would listen to me, at least not just Qiao An'an's family." Lin Ran didn't want to tell Mo Zhi in detail about the past, "But after I told her, I still only got one sentence, An An is young, one is not careful, you are a sister, you have to be generous." ”

And the bracelet, when she was discharged from the hospital, she saw it hanging on Qiao An'an's wrist, as if it didn't belong to her.

The rest of the matter, Mo Zhi already understood.

"It's not your fault." He knew what the little girl was confused about, parked the car in the emergency stop strip next to the highway, and turned to face her, "Teaching Qiao An'an like this is the parent who should fulfill her responsibility to teach, not your half-blood sister." ”

Lin Ran closed his eyes and let the man hold his wrist and use his thumb to soothe the same friction.

"If it ......"

"Don't worry, Second Uncle," she gently interrupted Mo Zhi's words, "Since they are doing shameless things with their faces, I naturally have nothing to dare to deal with." ”

Such a thing, if you cling to Mo Zhi or someone else to solve it, you will shrink back -

That would be contrary to what she said in front of Old Man Lin, and even more contrary to her own heart.

With such an episode, it was originally less than three hours away, but when the two of them arrived, it was already four hours later.

The racecourse is built under a hill and occupies a large area, and the site is open-minded as far as the eye can see.

Lin Ran came to a place like the racecourse for the first time, and looked around in a new way.

The car drove directly to the hotel run by the horse farm.

"Wrap the scarf and get out of the car, it's windy down the mountain." Mo Zhi parked the lane.

Even if it was for the scarf and the hat of the jacket on his body, Lin Ran was still stunned for half a minute by the wind that was colder and harder than the city when he got out of the car.

Just about to go to the trunk to get the luggage, I saw Mo Zhi waiting for her with the luggage of two people: "Second uncle, I'll take it myself." ”

"There's not much of it." Mo Zhi said lightly, seeing that she was fully armed, then he turned around and took the lead into the hotel lobby.

Lin Ran had no choice but to trot two steps to keep up with the man's pace.

"Second master, I'm really sorry, I originally thought that you were two people, so we only set aside a suite." The front desk looked at the two people and said apologetically.

Mo Zhi twisted his eyebrows slightly: "There are no more single rooms?" ”

"It's off-season, and the rest of our rooms are being refurbished according to the boss's requirements." The front desk hurriedly pulled out the brochure and showed it to the two people, "But we left the largest one, a four-bedroom room, and a study." Second master and this young lady, you two ......"
