"Hey, brother, why are you distracted again? Answer me quickly. Xue Ting saw that Shi Jingran had not spoken for a long time, so he shook his arm.

Only then did Shi Jingran realize that he was distracted again. So he frowned, and said a little impatiently: "There are business problems, there is time for curiosity, you might as well think about what you will do after meeting your aunt." ”

Xue Ting's mouth pursed high, and said, "Brother, you must help me in a while, I don't want to fall in love now." ”

Shi Jingran nodded, as if he was thinking about what to do, and Xue Ting didn't bother with any more questions about Shi Jingran. So the two didn't say anything all the way, and Shi Jingran was also happy.

Xue Ting is Shi Jingran's cousin, Shi Jingran's mother has been looking for a boyfriend for Xue Ting, but Xue Ting doesn't want to find it at all.

A year ago, after Lan Qianruo left, there was no more woman by Shi Jingran's side. And being in a high position, handsome and golden, he made those women want to move.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it happened that Xueting also returned to China at that time, and Shi Jingran often took Xueting with him when attending some activities.

After a long time, the two reached an agreement: Shi Jingran helped Xue Ting fool his mother, and Xue Ting helped Shi Jingran block unnecessary peach blossoms.

After a while, the two returned home.

After getting out of the car, Xue Ting's expression immediately became serious, and he was not at all as elated as he had just chatted with Fu Qiqi.

The trees in the garden had all withered, and only a few bare branches remained, pointing straight to the blue sky.

The villa is no longer white in the morning. Shi Jingran's mother didn't like the dirty ground when the snow melted, so there was only a faint snow foam left on the ground, and the rest of the snow had been cleaned up by the servants and piled up next to the trees.

As a result, the bare ground was completely exposed under the eyelids, and it looked extremely desolate.

Seeing this situation, Shi Jingran suddenly felt that the scene at this time was very in line with his state of mind. Desolate and lifeless.

For some reason, at this moment, he suddenly remembered the woman named Xue Qingyao.

Shi Jingran's brows furrowed suddenly, he didn't want to think about it anymore, how could he think of that woman?

So he gently patted Xue Ting's shoulder, and the two walked into the house together.

Who knows, Xue Ting didn't see Shi Jingran's mother's unhappy face, but saw Shi Jingran's face that turned cold in vain when he entered the house.

Outside, the sun was shining, the snow had begun to melt, and the temperature was getting cooler. When they entered the house, the cold air on the two of them had not yet dissipated, and a second layer of cold air erupted on Shi Jingran's body again, so cold that Xue Ting couldn't help but tremble again.

Although Lan Qianruo, who was sitting on the sofa, smiled brightly, he couldn't get rid of the cold on Xue Ting's body.

She secretly observed Shi Jingran standing beside her, and found that his eyes were getting colder and colder, almost frozen.

She was about to say something to lighten the mood. Shi Jingran turned around and walked out.

Xue Ting was in a hurry, so he quickly grabbed Shi Jingran's hand and said, "Brother, where are you going?" ”

Shi Jingran said lightly: "I suddenly remembered that there are still some things in the company, go back to the company first, don't you still have classes in the afternoon?" Do you want me to send you there? ”

Xue Ting looked at Shi Jingran, and then looked at Lan Qianruo in the house, not knowing what to say.

This is the second time she has seen Lan Qianruo, the last time was when Lan Qianruo got married, and she returned to China to attend the wedding.

She was surprised to find that Lan Qianruo's temperament was very different from that time. At that time, Lan Qianruo was flamboyant and confident, beautiful and dazzling. And now she is still beautiful, but she is extraordinarily introverted.

What happened to make such a big difference in a person in this short period of more than two years.

The background of the Jushi Group is strong, and Lan Qianruo can have the momentum of "only me laughs at the world, who dares to laugh at me in the world", but how did she become like this? !

Just when Shi Jingran was a little impatient and was about to go out again. The sound of the car stopping outside the gate was heard again, and then a steady, imposing man stepped out of the car.

Xue Ting smiled slightly embarrassed and said, "Uncle." ”

The person who came was none other than Shi Wentang. When Shi Wentang saw Xue Ting, he bowed his head slightly, and said, "Xue Ting, why don't you come in?" ”

Shi Jingran whispered: "Dad, Xue Ting and I still have some things to do in the afternoon, so we will leave first." ”

Shi Wentang frowned, sneered and said, "Shi Jingran, do you still know that I am your father?" It's really capable, and I go home less than ten times a year. ”

Shi Jingran pursed her lips tightly, and said a little unpleasantly: "The company has a lot of things, so I didn't come back." ”

Shi Wentang's old black eyes narrowed, like a majestic lion.

"Eat a meal at noon, how much time can you delay, come in." After speaking, Shi Wentang walked in without looking back.

Seeing Shi Wentang coming back, Lan Qianruo quickly stood up with a smile and called sweetly, "Dad." ”

Shi Wentang also pulled a smile on his face and said, "Is your body well?" ”

Lan Qianruo nodded, and then secretly glanced at Shi Jingran, who was standing at the door, before sitting down dignifiedly.

Shi Jingran's mother also walked down elegantly from upstairs, and after seeing a few people, she said with a smile: "I didn't expect me to go up and change my clothes, and you are all here, Jingran, Xueting, why don't you come in?" ”

Then, she stopped, and the smile on her face was closed, but she was still full of manners.

"Could it be that there are some things to be discussed by standing outside the door with a cold breeze? Don't you think our family's face is not ugly enough? Or is it that the Shi family has not made enough headlines? ”

After that, Shi Jingran's mother glanced at Shi Jingran coldly, and then came to the sofa and sat down elegantly.

"Brother, let's go in and talk." Xue Ting persuaded Shi Jingran again.

Shi Jingran's feet nailed to the ground began to move, and the two walked into the house together, and the servant came up to catch the coats they had taken off, and put a cup of coffee in front of them.

The rich aroma of coffee floats through the room, with a warm scent. But the warm breath was of no use, and the breath between them was like a cold wind outside the house, eager to freeze everything.

Xue Ting felt even more like she was on pins and needles, she couldn't wait to stand up immediately and run away, this atmosphere was really unbearable.

She had also heard about the matter between Shi Jingran and Lan Qianruo, but she didn't dig into it.

Judging from the current situation, she felt that the relationship between Shi Jingran and Lan Qianruo seemed to be even more terrifying than she knew.

After a while, a wave of boredom suddenly surged into Xue Ting's heart. She suddenly understood that the marriage between Lan Qianruo and Shi Jingran was a commercial marriage, so Shi Jingran had such an expression.

How could her brother, who has always been dominant, also be bound by a business marriage?

Xue Ting hates this kind of business marriage the most, so he keeps running away.

"Since Qianruo has returned from the United States, you can move back to the villa." After a long time, Shi Wentang spoke lightly, interrupting Xue Ting's thoughts.

Shi Jingran's mother also put down the coffee, smiled and said, "Jingran, you are not too young, let's stabilize in the future." ”

Shi Jingran looked at his mother and father in disbelief, and said coldly: "There are too many things in the company, so I'd better live in the company." ”

Shi Wentang looked at the indifferent Shi Jingran, and was about to get angry.

When Shi Jingran's mother saw it, she hurriedly grabbed Shi Wentang's arm and said, "Let's eat first, the meal is ready." ”

Shi Wentang snorted coldly and turned around and went directly to the restaurant. Everyone also followed Shi Wentang to the restaurant in unison.

Whether it was Shi Wentang, Shi Jingran's mother, or Shi Jingran, they didn't want to speak.

Lan Qianruo just sat there lightly, never saying anything.

Under this scene, Xue Ting began to sit on pins and needles again, eating very little.

After a while, Shi Jingran put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm full, you can use it first." Then he got up and went to the living room. His mother also sneered, put down the chopsticks, as if unintentionally, but said with a needle hidden in her mouth: "I haven't been home for so long, and I finally went home for a meal, and I still eat so little, is this not home?" ”

Shi Jingran said lightly: "When I came back, I met a friend and drank some tea, so I couldn't eat it." ”

"Didn't you go to pick up the snow pavilion before you went home? Who to go to tea with? Shi Jingran's mother asked indomitively.

Xue Ting swallowed the food in her mouth with difficulty, and helped Shi Jingran explain: "Auntie, we met Sheng Jun, the president of the Alluring Group, and his fiancée at the school gate, and his fiancée seems to like the snacks at the gate of our school. ”

Shi Jingran's mother didn't pursue it.

At this moment, Shi Wentang put down the chopsticks in his hand and said, "Jingran, come to the study with me." ”

After the two left, Shi Jingran's mother said with a smile: "They haven't seen each other for a long time, they said theirs, let's eat ours, Qianruo, Xueting eat more." ”

Lan Qianruo smiled and said, "Thank you, aunt." Then he turned his head to look at Xue Ting and said, "Xue Ting, this is the second time the two of us have met, right?" ”

Xue Ting smiled politely and said, "It is indeed the second time we met, and the last time we met was when you and Brother Jingran got married." ”

Lan Qianruo smiled sweetly again and said, "Xue Ting, I heard that you like fashion, let's go shopping together next time, right?" ”

Lan Qianruo had already investigated everything before coming here. Including what Shi Jingran has done this year and which women he has had in-depth contact with.

When she knew it was Xue Ting, she breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he also noticed the importance of the Snow Pavilion, Shi Jingran has so many younger sisters, why did he only find the Snow Pavilion?

After knowing that Xue Ting was a person that Shi Jingran valued more, she quickly sent someone to investigate Xue Ting's information. Knowing that fashion is Snow Pavilion's hobby. So she was going to use this to get close to the Snow Pavilion.

Thinking of this, Lan Qianruo stared at the Snow Pavilion again, wanting to see something unusual, but found that there was nothing strange about the Snow Pavilion. After Xue Ting heard Lan Qianruo's words, his mind immediately turned several times.

Growing up in a living family since childhood, Xue Ting naturally would not take Lan Qianruo's words as a sentence that he wanted to go out with her unintentionally.

After understanding that Lan Qianruo wanted to go out shopping with her, just because of Shi Jingran, Xue Ting's heart immediately became uncomfortable.

She didn't like this kind of utilitarian approach.

So she smiled sweetly and said, "Sister-in-law, I want to go with you too, but I've been performing at school these days, I'm afraid I won't have time......"

In order to tie up the Xue Pavilion, Lan Qianruo didn't care, and said very politely: "That Xue Ting, when you have time, call me, anyway, I have time at any time." ”

Xue Ting nodded, but said unceremoniously in his heart: "Then I still don't have time for the rest of my life." ”

Although what happened between Shi Jingran and Lan Qianruo caused today's situation, she didn't know.

But what she knows is that when she was a child, Shi Jingran was very good to Lan Qianruo.
