In her previous life, her eldest brother died early, her second sister went blind due to illness, her third brother became autistic, and she herself lived a life of poverty and hardship, scavenging...
Since neither he nor Ling Ran had seen such a beautiful woman, but in the eyes of his eldest brother, the woman looked so beautiful, there was only one possibility.
That is, this woman was so beautiful, and she used some ancient method to cover it up, but it was seen through by the eldest brother's pure heart.
Ling Ran asked her softly what she was thinking about.
Zhou Xiang expressed his guess, and Ling Ran agreed, "That should be the case. I just don't know why she was staring at Big Brother in a daze."
"Do you think that woman is from the Kong family? Hiding her beauty is not something that ordinary people can do. Only the ancient methods in legends can do it."
"The Kong family won't be back for another two years, but we can't rule out someone coming in to lead the way."
Zhou Xiang felt very heavy-hearted. She was not important enough! Was the Kong family ready to come back?
"You need to speed up your investigation."
"Yes! When you get back, try to spend as much time as possible on the investigation."
Zhou wanted to put away the sketch. She wanted to remember this person's appearance.
Zhonglan was replaced, and Zhou Xiang took her to find the blind lady. She talked to her alone for a long time, and the blind lady told her not to worry, she would take good care of Zhonglan.
Zhou Xiang tried to comfort Zhong Lan and told her to wait. "We'll take you with us when we leave Beijing. I've asked Blind Auntie to take care of you. Don't worry, Blind Auntie is a good person and won't say much. You really need someone to take care of you right now."
Zhong Lan nodded, "Okay! Do you want to take me back to your home?"
Zhou Xiang nodded. "No matter where you put it, it's not as safe as putting it under my nose. Although my home is in a small town, I have a very good doctor. Don't worry!"
"But isn't that Mr. Wu's hometown?"
"Look at his attitude, will he go back? Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. Even if he finds out, even if he wants to marry you or have a child, he won't get it if you don't agree.
Ling Ran and I will protect you and won't let him take advantage of you. The child is yours, and no one has the right to take him away, not even his biological father."
Zhong Lan's eyes were red. "Thank you, Miss Zhou and Boss."
"You're welcome! Also, don't worry about your family. If they find you, we'll take care of them. Just take good care of the baby and raise him to be plump, beautiful, and healthy."
Zhong Lan nodded vigorously, "Yes!"
The next day, Zhou Xiang wanted to stop her brother from going to the exhibition hall, but Ling Ran told her not to act like a frightened bird, which would make her brother nervous and alert the enemy.
The Kong family hasn't returned yet! Even if they did, they couldn't immediately deal with the Zhou family. They still had a lot of things to sort out.
"But, didn't the Hangzhou incident happen earlier?"
Ling Ran pinched her nose and said, "Unless Xiangjiang returns early."
Zhou Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. She had been so nervous. The Kong family had only returned to the mainland after Hong Kong's return to China. Just one person, who was there to help, had made her so nervous. What if the entire Kong family returned?
"I understand. I'm just scaring myself. Let's go!"
After the bustling crowd yesterday afternoon, there were quite a few visitors today.
Zhou Niao was smiling the whole time. He and his sister stood aside and watched the people coming in and out. "If there were so many people every day, Brother Chao wouldn't be so anxious."
Zhou wanted to laugh, "Weren't you also anxious the past two days?"
The brother and sister were joking around, and Ling Ran was standing on the other side of Zhou Xiang, listening and smiling.
Zhou Niao suddenly grabbed her sister's hand. Zhou wanted to turn around and look at her elder brother, but saw him looking at the back of the woman who had just walked out.
"Sister," Zhou Niao said softly, "that's the person I drew for you."
Zhou Xiang was startled and turned to look at Ling Ran. Ling Ran also heard Zhou Niao's whisper. He shook his head at Zhou Xiang, indicating that he did not see the same person as yesterday, although he did not remember it.
"Let's come back tomorrow, brother. If you see that woman again, grab my hand and don't say anything."
"good."
The woman didn't show up for two days, so Zhou Niao let the matter go. Zhou Xiang and Ling Ran thought that the person must have been alarmed, so they relaxed and went shopping with their mother.
When they returned home, they found that the third brother had brought Mei Zi with him. Xiao Chunmei was naturally very affectionate to her good friend when she saw him.
Zhou Hua, who was locked outside the door, looked at Ling Ran helplessly, then went to ask his uncle for a place to stay.
Jiang Weihua could only arrange for him to live with himself, and let Xiao Chunmei and Zhou Xiang live together.
Xiao Chunmei happily carried her luggage and schoolbag into Zhou Xiang's room.
Zhou Hua glared at Ling Ran unhappily, "Your girlfriend stole my fiancée."
Ling Ran replied: "It was your fiancée who stole my fiancée."
Zhou Hua immediately went to find his mother and asked, when did his sister become someone else's fiancée?
The answer I got was: "Before May Day, weren't you busy studying? That's why I didn't tell you that your uncle had gone back."
"Do you really agree with Ling Ran?"
"It's not that I agree or not, but your sister agreed. I also think Ling Ran is accommodating enough to her and is willing to marry your sister."
"Marry?" Zhou Hua was very surprised.
Jiang Weihui nodded, "Yes, Ling Ran is marrying Xiang Xiang, and this is how the engagement process goes."
"Oh my god, alright! I accept this brother-in-law. He's very accommodating to my sister. He can do this. I believe he's truly in love."
"Yeah! Sometimes your sister's attitude towards Ling Ran makes me want to beat her up."
Zhou Hua retorted to her, "Yes, yes, the good ones outside are worse than the bad ones at home. Let me see! After Mei Zi enters the house, I will have no status."
Jiang Weihui looked at her son's white hair and said, "Nonsense! I'm just worried that you'll ruin your good fortune, so I'm holding you back. How's your ginseng fruit tea? How do you feel?"
"I'm drinking it! But I'm busy, and sometimes I only have time to drink it on weekends. She also shares the fruit tea that plums usually brew with me. Don't worry, I'm in good health!"
He knew that his sister was worried about his health, so she asked Doctor Cao to prepare some ginseng slices for him, and he drank them wholeheartedly.
"Hmm! There shouldn't be much left, right? Ask your sister to find Doctor Cao again."
"Okay!" He agreed to everything. He also wanted to stay with Mei Zi for a long time.
Then, Zhou Xiang received instructions from his mother to buy fresh ginseng.
Ling Ran took the opportunity to take her for a walk on the street. He didn't have much time to spend with the little girl in Mianhua Hutong, and when Xiao Chunmei came, she monopolized the little girl and refused to let go.
Then, Ling Ran bought some seeds of medicinal herbs that can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. There are many such herbs and the seeds are easy to buy.
When the two came back, it was already dark. Zhou Niao told her sister that the woman appeared again.
But this time the woman seemed to be paler, and he thought she must be sick and that was why she didn't come.
Zhou Xiang said nothing, but prayed in her heart that nothing unforeseen would happen! She didn't like her plans to be disrupted all the time.
The next day, Zhou Hua and Xiao Chunmei naturally went to the exhibition hall, and Zhou Yu's family, who had had enough fun, also went with them.
Zhou Quan took his wife to spend some time alone, and Ling Ran asked Tian Cheng and Xiao Gu to accompany them.
