Then there was a knock on the door, and along with the knock was Song Rui's shout:

"Mom, little sister, when will you come out?

There are guests outside.”

When Luo Wanjun heard Song Rui's voice, the tense expression on her face visibly relaxed.

She patted her chest and let out a breath, then looked at Lin Ran, who also had a serious expression.

"It's okay, this is Yaoyao's brother, Song Rui. Xiaoyan should have mentioned him to you.

I'll ask him later and ask him not to tell anyone."

After hearing this, Lin Ran was not relieved.

Which good person would stand at the door and eavesdrop?

But it may also be that I am overthinking it.

After all, Song Rui and Shi Yan are brothers from the same mother, so it should be impossible for him to harm Shi Yan.

Maybe he was just worried about Shi Yan so he stopped and listened for a while?

But soon Lin Ran no longer had the mind to worry about this, because after Song Rui finished speaking, she remembered that she had actually forgotten He Xiaoyue.

Luo Wanjun and Song Yao also looked annoyed and self-blaming.

The three of them immediately got up and went to the living room.

Song Yunkai, who was waiting outside the door, lit up his eyes when he saw Lin Ran coming out.

But Lin Ran didn't even look at him.

After everyone sat back on the sofa, Luo Wanjun first apologized to He Xiaoyue, and then introduced Song Rui to the two of them.

Lin Ran looked in the direction of Luo Wanjun's finger, and saw a young man who looked a bit like Shi Yan.

But compared to the indifference and aloofness that always appeared in Shi Yan's black eyes, Song Rui seemed much gentler, with a perfect smile always on his lips.

Not sure if it was her illusion, but Lin Ran felt that the signature smile on Song Rui's lips had faded a lot when he greeted her just now.

But she didn't think much about it. After saying hello, she handed over the gift she had prepared.

When Song Rui saw that it was a Parker pen, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, but it quickly disappeared, and he politely thanked him:

"Thank you, Comrade Lin. I'm sorry for the expense.

This pen is very expensive, most people can’t afford it.”

Now Lin Ran was finally sure that Song Rui seemed to really have something against her.

He was actually testing himself.

And from the way he addresses himself, it can be seen that he probably does not approve of himself in his heart.

In this case, Lin Ran had no reason to press her hand against him, so she simply replied calmly:

“It’s really expensive.

But I thought that you live in Beijing, and you have probably seen all kinds of good things since you were young. I don’t know what you like, so I try to buy expensive things.

Fortunately, I have three older brothers at home, and there are many strong laborers. Some go to work and some earn work points, so I was able to save some money.

This explanation is quite official.

But Song Rui didn't quite believe it. You know, the Lin family are all farmers. How much money can they earn in a year?

Even if Lin Ran’s three brothers all work and earn wages, would they give all their wages to Lin Ran?

Of course, it is not impossible. After all, although it costs a little more money temporarily, if Lin Ran can marry Shi Yan, the Lin family can take the opportunity to get close to the Song family, which will naturally be of many benefits to them.

However, this is just one of his guesses. Song Rui is more inclined to believe that Lin Ran has so much money in his hands, and it might all be given by Shi Yan.

He knew from a young age that Shi Yan was very rich.

No matter what he and Song Yao wanted, Shi Yan could basically get it.

Although Shi Yan always said that he earned the money outside, he knew in his heart that making money was not that easy, and he just thought that Shi Yan didn't want to tell him the truth.

It was only later, when he accidentally heard about the Shi family's hidden treasure from the drunk Song Wenhua, that he knew where Shi Yan's money came from.

So when Song Yunkai asked him to call Luo Wanjun and the others out just now, he heard people talking about Shi Yan in the house, and subconsciously did not say anything, wanting to listen more.

Sure enough, I heard Lin Ran say that Shi Yan went to Jiang County.

Seeing Luo Wanjun’s nervous attitude, could it be that the Shi family’s treasure is in Jiang County?

This conclusion caused a hint of heat to flash in Song Rui's gentle eyes.

But at this moment he was caught in a dilemma, as he knew that Song Wenhua had always been thinking about the Shi family's treasure.

So should he tell Song Wenhua?

On one side is his father, and on the other side is his elder brother.

This made it difficult for him to make a decision.

It was Song Yao's sudden voice that interrupted his thoughts.

"Wow! It's a Parker pen!

My second brother wanted it a long time ago, but he just didn’t have the money to buy it.”

Upon hearing this, Song Rui quickly suppressed the complex emotions in his eyes and returned to his usual gentle appearance.

"Yes, I haven't saved enough until now, but I didn't expect to receive it today. Thank you again, Comrade Lin."

"You're welcome, you're Shi Yan's biological brother."

Lin Ran emphasized the last sentence.

She just noticed the fluctuation in Song Rui's eyes. Although she didn't know what he was thinking, she still wanted to remind Song Rui.

Recognize who is truly good to him.

Never do anything to disappoint Shi Yan.

She could see that Shi Yan still cared about his brother and sister.

Hearing this, Song Rui's expression froze for a moment, but he didn't say anything else. Instead, he found an excuse and went back to his room.

He needed to be alone to think things over.

After Song Rui left, Song Yunkai was the only gay man left in the living room.

Lin Ran and the other four female comrades were chatting there, and they didn't bring him along.

But he didn't feel embarrassed at all, and his eyes followed Lin Ran's every move.

Lin Ran quickly noticed such an intense gaze.
