The man she called her brother smiled brightly, and then gently pulled her wrist: "Come on, let me show you my current home, I promise you'll be surprised." ”

Lin Ran followed the man and slowly went upstairs: "But seriously, no matter how good your current residence is, I think this building is very ......."

"You hate it?" The man turned his head to look at her, and there was a happy sparkle in his apricot eyes that looked like hers, "Seriously, I think that's the right word." ”

"Lin Jinghe, I really have great doubts about your taste, okay?" Lin Ran looked at the man who was related to him tangledly, "Please go out and don't say it's my cousin." ”

Lin Jinghe took out the key and continued to talk to Lin Ran with a smile while opening the door: "I said that someone should believe it when I go out, okay, what do you drink?" ”

"Whatever," Lin Ran shrugged her shoulders and walked into the room, "uh...... I feel like I need to change what I said before. ”

"I'll just say yes, right?" Lin Jinghe looked at the house he had arranged with his own hands with satisfaction, and after looking around, he bent down and opened the refrigerator and took out two cans of drinks.

Lin Ran sat down on the wooden chair with delicate carvings in the living room, although this room has its own unique style because of the various styles mixed together, but she is still as casual and casual as in the old mansion of the Lin family: "It's not good, I can only say that it is still within the range of what I can bear." ”

"Come on, put away your old man-like mask, I know you love this." Lin Jinghe threw the apple juice into Lin Ran's hand, "The more you like you, the more you will speak in your own most hated tone." ”

Lin Ran easily opened the jar of apple juice in his hand, and didn't care about any etiquette, so he took a sip directly into the jar: "Your observation has always been very accurate...... Looking at this room, you're finally living the life you want to be a freelance painter now? ”

"Did the smell of turpentine make you discover this?" Lin Jinghe sat relaxed on his fabric sofa and smiled at his sister, "How is the old man doing?" ”

The girl shrugged exaggeratedly, and then the expression on her face gradually calmed down: "Whether it's good or not, whether it's bad or not, it depends on whether you want to listen to the truth or a lie?" ”

"You know that I'm not a member of this family anymore," Lin Jinghe also put away the smile on his face and took a sip of his beer indifferently, "Although my father doesn't recognize me anymore, the old man is still my grandfather after all." ”

Lin Ran nodded, his thumb unconsciously rubbing against the cold can: "He just told me that his family doctor found out that he had a heart attack, but it was not serious, and he was also taking his medicine on time, but brother, you know ......"

She pondered for a moment before continuing: "I actually have a medical degree in my hand, and I don't think this heart disease is as good as it seems, or in my personal opinion, he has other diseases in his body that are not triggered. ”

Lin Jinghe nodded, not seeming to feel a trace of surprise: "I guess so, even if the old man used to be very self-disciplined, but in the past ten years, alcohol and fatigue have been slowly corroding his body, and I am not surprised by this result." ”

"I think so," Lin Ran unbuttoned the top button of her shirt and leaned back on the back of the chair without any image, if there is only one place in this world where she can show her true side, then Lin Ran can be sure that it is in front of her cousin, "Actually, you don't have to worry about me sitting here and not talking, these things in the family in the past few years have also accelerated the decay of his body, haven't they?" ”

"I just want to save some face for the old man, after all, there are some things that we know each other, so we don't want to talk about them." Lin Jinghe put down the half-drunk beer can, leaned forward and looked at Lin Ran's eyes seriously, "Say, my dearest sister, I finally returned to Yancheng and came to visit me, what do you want to know?" ”

Lin Ran was slightly stunned for a moment, and then showed a somewhat surprised smile: "Do you have to be so direct...... What about the mutual greetings of the brother and sister who said that they would reunite after a long absence? ”

"So do we need to greet each other from now on?" Lin Jinghe also smiled, "Since we all know that your time is precious now, it's better to get straight to the point." ”

"So those who think you're just an idle young master really have a problem with their eyes," Lin Ran made up his mind after taking another sip of the beer in his hand, "You're obviously too lazy to take care of those things at home." ”

"I'm not interested in those, like you...... And your father is the same. Lin Jinghe quietly looked at her sister, in the past four years, she has grown from the little girl at the beginning to the beautiful and introverted girl she is now, "I don't know why you suddenly changed, but I only know that you are my sister, and that's enough." ”

"yes...... That's enough. Lin Ran chewed these words silently, half-lowered her eyes and didn't know what she was thinking.

Lin Jinghe sighed, stretched out his hand and patted her left hand on the arm of the chair like when she was a child: "If it were you now, I think no matter what you want to do, you can succeed." ”

"Yes, I know, otherwise I wouldn't be here today." Lin Ran raised his head again and looked directly into Lin Jinghe's eyes, "I came to you this time mainly to find out what you experienced in Yancheng back then. ”

Lin Jinghe was stunned: "Why do you want to ask this?" ”

"You know, I came here this time, ostensibly for the New Year," Lin Ran didn't want to hide it from his brother in this matter at all, "but now the family is in a mess, the water in Yancheng is getting muddy, and there are still I don't know how many poisonous snakes are hiding behind it, trying to wait for an opportunity to come out and bite one or two people to death." ”

"But maybe it's just your delusion?" Lin Jinghe didn't seem to agree with Lin Ran's opinion.

Lin Ran looked at him with an inexplicable smile in his eyes: "Do you believe in this?" ”

"Sure enough, it's your style of asking questions," Lin Jinghe leaned back on the sofa and reached out to open another can of beer for himself, "But that's not the reason why you think there is a problem here in Yancheng, can I listen to other reasons?" ”

"Other reasons?" Lin Ran played with the jar that was emptied by herself, "The most important reason is that if this is just my illusion, you will not be disgusted by your father to such an extent because of the failure of this matter, and you will even be expelled from the house by him, so that the fourth room will completely lose the opportunity to fight for property." ”

"When did you react?" The expression on Lin Jinghe's face gradually solidified, and finally turned into an indifferent but proud expression that was exactly the same as Lin Ran's face.

"Just before I came to Yancheng," Lin Ran threw the beer can into the trash can accurately, looking a little absent-minded because he was recalling the reason for the incident, "I told you about my kidnapping before, Rong Pengtao is lying in intensive care now, what do you think?" ”

"In fact, I felt something was wrong when I knew you had been kidnapped." Lin Jinghe also began to carefully consider the clues in his hand, "If you are alone in Suzhou City, forget it, Mo Zhi has not hidden the matter of taking you with him, this kind of thing has always been concealed, I don't believe that the gangsters in Suzhou City dare to do it directly to his people." ”
