Chapter 1 Stepping Stones
"Xiao Luo, such a man, it's not worth being sad for him......" Bao Jia changed his usual strength, and rarely softened his voice.
Paucera's voice was low, but his brow was raised. said words of comfort to Lin Luoran, telling her not to care about that negative man, in fact, Bao Jia couldn't wait to pick up a knife to chop that cheap man into meat foam and feed it to the dog!
Bao Jia looked at his friend who was sitting on the sofa and looking at the TV in a daze-27-year-old Lin Luoran, whose full and moist cheeks had long lost their former luster, and her black hair still hung down to her waist as before, but without special care, the ends of her hair were yellow and split ends.
Coupled with the empty and blank eyes, the whole body adds up to less than three hundred pieces of clothes, where is this still the beautiful and delicate aura girl in high school, and it is clearly a market woman who is nearly thirty years old......
Bao Jia suddenly felt something surging in her heart, so sour that she was about to cry. She almost crushed a mouthful of silver teeth, "I'll go for that brute!" As she spoke, she picked up her bag on the sofa, her ten-centimeter heel swirling on the old tiles, and turned to walk out the door.
A pair of hands grabbed her.
The green tendons are bulging, skinny, so pale and slender, Bao Jia just glanced at it, and knew that it was the owner of the hand - except for the thin Lin Luoran, who else was left in this house?
Bao Jia couldn't bear to exert force, such a thin arm seemed to be easily broken. She suddenly burst into tears: "What's the use of you torturing yourself like this? Dogs don't live well even as men and women! Tears poured out, blurring Paga's vision and running down her cheeks, ruining her delicate makeup.
But at this time, she couldn't take care of it, she was really distressed by Luo Ran.
Lin Luoran, who was stunned, seemed to be frightened by the cry of his friend, his face had some emotion, his eyes moved slowly, and he returned to some human breath.
"Bao Jia......" She tried to speak, but her voice was dry and hoarse because she hadn't spoken for a long time.
Bao Jia still had tears on his face, and he couldn't hide his surprise, Lin Luoran hadn't said a word for three days! Now that he actually spoke, Bao Jia felt that his hands were trembling, and he wanted to touch Lin Luoran's face, but he was afraid that he would disturb her, afraid that this was just his dream.
Lin Luoran turned his inky black pupils, his eyes were very astringent, it was because he hadn't closed his eyes for three days. Three days without sleep, without eating or drinking...... I always knew that I could endure it, but I didn't expect it to be so durable, maybe this is the life of the poor?
Lin Luoran found that she was in the mood to laugh at herself again, and when she raised her eyes, she saw the worry in Bao Jia's eyes.
Bao Jia looked at her nervously, Lin Luoran barely pulled out a smile, but it was full of bitterness: "Bao Jia, I'm hungry." Her slender arms grabbed Bagga, and she didn't know where the strength came from.
Bao Jia took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down, this may just be Luo Ran's strategy, what if she couldn't think about it for a while as soon as she left her?
"I'll order you takeout, Yonghe soy milk you like!" Bao Jia's brain turned quickly, and he immediately thought of a compromise solution, took out a dark blue shiny mobile phone from his bag, really called Yonghe soy milk's takeaway call, and ordered a cup of soy milk, green vegetable porridge, and Lin Luoran's favorite kelp.
Lin Luoran did not object, except for still holding her friend's hand tightly, she was very quiet, but she faded the unconcealable twilight aura on her face in the past three days.
Twenty minutes later, the doorbell rang and the takeaway arrived.
Steaming soy milk, Lin Luoran ate slowly, careful not to waste a little food, and when she finished eating, Lin Luoran's constricted stomach stretched, her hands and feet were cold and she had strength, she looked up at Bao Jia: "Don't worry, I still have parents to raise, I won't be unable to think about it." ”
Bao Jia finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her say this.
The two of them seemed to have returned to the mode of getting along in college, and Baojia slept in Lin Luoran's rental room at night.
When he heard the slight sound of breathing and confirmed that Bao Jia was asleep, Lin Luoran, who should have been asleep a long time ago, opened his eyes.
The quiet moonlight spilled through the burglar-proof windows, this is an old building of only a few dozen square meters, the building is at least 30 years old, it belongs to the high-risk old building within the second ring road of the city, the demolition has not come for a long time, and even the old residents are unwilling to live, and they are basically rented to migrant workers.
Lin Luoran is one of the working girls. Because the rent is cheap, she lives here for three or four years. She was for the man...... Living in such a building, peaceful. Both of them are from the countryside, and in their junior year, Li Anping's family had an accident, and his mother knelt in front of Lin Luoran and begged her to fulfill her son.
Li Anping looked at her with red eyes and burning eyes, and her parents also said that the two were engaged, and whoever could read it was the same. Lin Luoran's honest parents gave Li Anping the opportunity to study in this way. Lin Luoran dropped out of school in his junior year and found a few jobs, not only to send money to his family, but also to provide Li Anping until he graduated from graduate school.
Even Li Anping was able to enter this company because of the help of Lin Luoran's good friend Bao Jia.
Now that I think about it, I'm really a fool, right?
Luo Ran looked at the photo in front of the bedside table, Li Anping had his eyebrows and sideburns, wearing a well-fitting sports coat, the sun was full of energy, and he couldn't tell that he was the rustic rural baby back then.
This is the phoenix man often said on the Internet, right?
The phoenix that flew out of the mountain nest naturally had to be matched by a rich girl, and he was just a stepping stone for Li Anping to become rich......
Lin Luoran's eyes were wide open, and huge tears flowed silently.
She clenched her fists - and her parents at home, and Bao Jia, she didn't have nothing!
******
Fu Man Lou, the largest jewelry chain brand in R City.
Bao Jia is the jewelry designer inside, and Li Anping graduated from graduate school, and Bao Jia introduced him to Fu Man Lou as an administrative assistant.
Li Anping has also worked for half a year, and last month Bao Jia joked that Li Anping's boss was replaced by a beautiful woman and told him to be careful. At that time, Lin Luoran just listened to it.
They have had a relationship for seven or eight years, and it was not that no one chased Li Anping halfway, Lin Luoran didn't feel that a "beauty" was much of a threat - what she didn't know was that this beauty was not only Li Anping's boss, but also the only daughter of the boss of Fumanlou!
What a bloody plot, isn't it?
Lin Luoran stood in front of the administrative building of Fumanlou, his face full of self-deprecation.
When it was time to get off work, the glass door was pushed open, and Bao Jia stepped on high heels to get out of the revolving door, and Lin Luoran moved into the shadows, successfully avoiding Bao Jia's sight.
After another half an hour, the employees of Fumanlou were almost gone, and Lin Luoran finally saw a familiar figure come out of the revolving door.
With a well-tailored suit and spiritual hair, Li Anping's whole person looks radiant.
Immediately behind him, a beautiful woman in a professional suit came out, her facial features were not very good-looking, and her brilliance was due to the packages of expensive international brands and the coverage of layers of fat powder.
This is Li Anping's new girlfriend, right?
Lin Luoran bit her lip, such a woman with an advantage in life and appearance can indeed make people short out of thin air, but she must come to this trip, so she can't back down.
The down-and-out Lin Luoran stood in front of the bright gate of Fumanlou, out of place with everything around her, so that people could spot her at a glance.
But the first person who discovered Lin Luoran was not Li Anping, it was Miss Fumanlou with curled eyelashes, and she pouted at Li Anping: "Oh, your old lover is here." ”
Li Anping turned his head and took a look, and sure enough, it was Lin Luoran, who was shabby.
An imperceptible disgust flashed between Li Anping's eyebrows, and he quickly turned his head, his eyes full of tenderness: "Ellie, I said it, it was a given pro in the family, and I had nothing to do with her for a long time......"
Ai Li took the bag from Li Anping's hand, interrupted his explanation, and seemed to smile: "It's okay for a long time?" That means there was a relationship before...... Okay, give you five minutes to figure it out. ”
An opponent like Lin Luoran, Ai Li would not take it seriously at all, took the bag from Li Anping's hand, she didn't even look at it again, and went straight to the newly bought Audi TT. It's not an expensive car, Elle just likes it, just like a man, you don't have to be expensive, as long as you put her name on it, isn't it expensive?
Li Anping had a gloomy face, and walked in front of Lin Luoran in a few steps, with a look of disgust.
"I thought I had made it clear, Luo Ran, we are not suitable, and our personalities are not compatible......" Li Anping was very impatient, hoping that the matter could be properly resolved within five minutes.
Lin Luoran suddenly raised his head: "Li Anping, you think too much." ”
Lin Luoran is not blind, she can naturally see the disgust in Li Anping's eyes, she doesn't want to believe it, and she also knows that Li Anping's choice of another high branch has become a foregone conclusion, no matter how sad she is, she can't show it in front of this!
"Since it's divided, give me back my things." Lin Luoran tried his best to be indifferent, pointed to a bracelet on Li Anping's hand and said.
It is the heirloom of the Lin family, I don't know how many generations it has been passed on, it is a generous silver bracelet, it is suitable for both men and women to wear, the silver wire is wound on it, and a bead with a diameter of two centimeters is hollowed out and placed in the silver silk ball, dripping and turning.
This was still when the two of them were married, and Lin Luoran and her mother kissed the gloves on Li Anping's hand.
Hearing that Lin Luoran was here to ask for a bracelet, she didn't expect her to cry and beg for reconciliation, Li An's face turned blue with a calm face: "Lin Luoran, are you too stingy, aren't you just a broken bracelet, and you still want it!" ”
The man in front of him is the person he used to like? Lin Luoran felt very strange and distressed, but it was indeed something that had been passed down from generation to generation by the Lin family, and he naturally wanted to come back.
She showed a sneer: "It's just a broken bracelet, Li Anping, when did you become so duplicitous?" ”
Li Anping's face changed several times, and it was naturally not good to explain to Lin Luoran, Ai Li was going to have a birthday recently, he thought about it, the bracelet given by Lin Luoran's family was also an antiquity, only this one was worth a little. took it to the antique shop, the shopkeeper gave 30,000 yuan, saying that he liked that style, Li Anping had the unique cunning of a small citizen, seeing that the shopkeeper opened his mouth is 30,000 yuan, he naturally wanted to cover the baby and boil the price, so he didn't make a move at that time...... Now that Lin Luoran is embarrassed to come and ask for a bracelet and give it to her, where can I find Ellie's birthday gift?
Li Anping was still thinking about it, and a piercing car roar pulled him back to reality.
Ellie's big red Audi TT window rolled down, most of her face was covered by sunglasses, and the corners of her mouth rose: "What, it's not over with your old lover?" ”
Li Anping hurriedly said: "It's okay to say it's okay, I'll leave." He didn't care about Lin Luoran, who was still in place, and got into the car.
Elle raised the window and was about to step on the accelerator and leave, when she suddenly felt as if a shadow was cast - Lin Luoran grabbed her rearview mirror, the green tendons on her hand collapsed, and said word by word: "I only need a bracelet." ”
Ai Li looked at Li Anping, she knew that Li Anping had a silver bracelet full of ancient charm in his hand all the year round, but she didn't expect it to be Lin Luoran's thing!
Li Anping can climb to Ai Li, naturally he is not a person without eyes, this bracelet is left today, and he will quarrel with Ai Li, he is unwilling to do small things because of big things......
