When the notorious adopted daughter of the Shen family returned to Hong Kong, the city's elite society descended into chaos.
At the age of twelve, Lin Ran and her mother came to live as d...
Chapter 28
Half an hour later, Chen Zhuoyu casually threw the million-dollar motorcycle on the side of the road and pulled Lin Ran into the crowded and noisy alley.
From the alley came bursts of tempting aroma and various hawking sounds.
Grilled seafood, fried rice and noodles, roasted pig's trotters, and braised food...
The place was bustling with people.
Chen Zhuoyu and a group of old men and women crowded in front of the seafood stall, speaking fluent dialect and scrambling for the freshly caught seafood.
"Boss, these, and these, I want them all, freshly baked and ready to eat..."
"Young man, if you buy all these, what are we going to do? Why are young people so greedy?"
Chen Zhuoyu smiled brightly and said, "Grandpa and grandma, it's not that I'm greedy, it's my sister who can't taste anything but this barbecued seafood. Isn't this what I'm going to fight for?"
The uncles and aunts looked back and saw what a beautiful girl was. She was standing there quietly, like a fragile piece of white jade porcelain, so lovable.
"Having a sister like this, you have to fight for your life."
"Forget it, I'll come early tomorrow to grab it, and I'll give it to you brothers and sisters today."
"There's another seafood sale up ahead."
Everyone rushed to the front to grab the seafood.
Lin Ran tugged at his leather jacket: "Why are you bullying an old man?"
This is the busiest and most popular seafood market in Hong Kong. In the evening, seafood is discounted, so many elderly people come here specifically to grab the discounted seafood.
She smelled the scent of seafood in the air, her eyes slightly moist. It felt like she was back in a small fishing village.
Shen Zhuoyu laughed and said, "I'm not a good person. I used to love bullying you."
Who made her have a face that looks like it can be bullied? It's pure and cute.
Every time she looked at him with her big black eyes, he just wanted to bully her until she cried.
He was once ashamed of such a dirty mind, but he never expected that there were people with a heart even darker than his and who would act even faster than him.
Haha, the people of the Shen family are really hypocritical and scoundrels.
Lin Ran's lips curled up.
The two of them sat in the barbecue restaurant like elementary school students after school, eating freshly grilled seafood and drinking beer, which they didn't usually drink.
Lin Ran didn't know how much alcohol she had drunk. During the years she lived overseas, she had no money and the places she lived in were very dirty and messy. She often met many drunkards, both men and women, who would get drunk and sleep next to the trash cans.
She had thought about just letting it rot, but she was unwilling to do so.
"Brother, I want to go home."
Shen Zhuoyu saw that her eyes were wet from drinking, like the little deer he met when hunting in the mountains, innocent and naive, completely unaware of the dangers of this world.
His peach blossom eyes raised, and he said gently: "Then go home."
Lin Ran shook her head, her voice choking slightly: "I want to go back to my childhood home."
That home was gone, and even the only old house had been taken away. She hadn't been back to see her grandmother for many years.
Shen Zhuoyu smiled and said, “Then let’s go back to the small fishing village.”
Lin Ran's eyes lit up slightly: "Can we really go back?"
"Of course. No hometown would reject a wanderer."
Lin Ran shook her head and said dejectedly, "No, I can't go back."
"Why?"
Lin Ran looked left and right, burped, and whispered, "There are bad guys."
Seeing her drunk little head lying on the table, Shen Zhuoyu touched her head and squinted thoughtfully.
He remembered that after she was kicked out of the Shen family, she returned to the small fishing village.
So what happened there?
So much so that for so many years, Lin Ran didn't dare to return to the small fishing village.
Chen Zhuoyu lowered her eyes and sent a message to He Yuanbai: "Please help me find out what happened when Lin Ran returned to the small fishing village."
When he was overseas, he asked his best brother to take care of Lin Ran. Unexpectedly, He Yuanbai went to England right after that and left everything to his elder brother.
