Chapter 44

"Ranran, are you in there?"

Lin Ran had just hung up the phone when she heard a knock on the door.

She took out her overseas SIM card, put it in her pocket, and opened the door.

Lin Ruolan complained, "I've been calling you for a long time, why are you dithering?"

She glanced around the room and noticed nothing unusual, then looked away in disappointment.

Lin Ran said calmly, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Your Uncle Shen is looking for you."

Lin Ran was slightly surprised.

Shen Zhongqi was looking for her? During the years she was in Shen Garden, Shen Zhongqi had basically treated her as an invisible person.

Lin Ruolan lowered her voice: "Don't talk nonsense later. Just do whatever your Uncle Shen tells you to do, understand?"

Lin Ran lowered his eyes and responded softly.

Shen Zhongqi's study is on the second floor.

This was Lin Ran's first time in Shen Zhongqi's study. The man, who was in his fifties, was slightly overweight, but his appearance was still thin and elegant, and he exuded the aura of a pampered bureaucrat.

I heard that Shen Zhongqi has an 18-year-old lover outside.

This kind of man who is at the center of power, even if he is over fifty, still has the relaxation and charm given by power, which is most attractive to young girls who are not very worldly-wise.

Unfortunately, Lin Ran had lived in Shenyuan for many years and knew how corrupt and filthy wealthy families were, so she had long since become disenchanted with them.

Handsome and cold like Shen Jinghan, handsome and unruly like Shen Zhuoyu, both are hungry wolves in human skin. As for Shen Zhongqi who is immersed in officialdom, thinking about his history of making a fortune, Lin Ran knows what a bloody history of his rise to power is.

Shen Zhongqi will only be more evil than his two sons.

"Lin Ran is here." Shen Zhongqi saw her standing nervously at the door and said with a smile, "Come in and sit down."

Lin Ran entered the study, not daring to sit down, lowered his eyes and whispered, "Uncle Chen, are you looking for me?"

Just listen to what men say.

Shen Zhongqi looked her up and down. He hadn't seen her for seven years. The introverted and quiet girl had grown up. Her facial features were delicate and pale, her hair was as thick as seaweed, her skin was dazzlingly white, and her beauty was pure and seductive. He had seen countless women, but he was still stunned by her.

Shen Zhongqi rubbed the ring on his hand. No wonder the second brother was so bewitched by her.

Even if they were expelled, they had to admit the scandal of incest between brother and sister.

But he knew more about what happened seven years ago than anyone else.

The second child was wronged.

Because it was originally a honey trap for Shen Jinghan. The person who appeared in the room at that time should be Shen Jinghan, the one who committed incest between brother and sister should be him, and the one who was expelled should be him.

Unfortunately, something went wrong along the way. Shen Jinghan noticed it and took advantage of the situation to drag the second brother into the water and expel him from the Shen family.

Seven years! Seven years wasted in vain!

The second son was expelled, and the Jincheng side turned against him and terminated the cooperation. As a result, he was suppressed by his eldest son and the Mei family for seven years.

Now that the second brother is back and Tianjin has loosened its stance, everything is finally back on track.

Shen Zhongqi smiled and said, "You've been back for so many days, are you still adapting?"

Lin Ran nodded: "Yeah."

It doesn’t matter whether you can adapt or not, you will be controlled by others when you come back anyway.

"Today is your first day at work. How do you feel? You know Jinghan's temper. He almost had a falling out with me in order to get you to go to Shanshi Technology."

Shen Zhongqi sighed and said, "This child has been raised in his maternal grandparents' home since he was young, and he has become very estranged from me, his father. Ranran, you have to help Uncle Shen more."

Lin Ran's heart trembled. Here it comes. After all this preparation, it turns out they are targeting Shen Jinghan.

The Shen family is also quite interesting. The father is controlled by his son, and the father and son are not on good terms, which is unique in Hong Kong. Shen Zhongqi dislikes his eldest son and supports his illegitimate son, which is also unique among wealthy families.

Lin Ran didn't dare to think too deeply about the underlying reasons.

She had a premonition that if she knew the secrets of the Shen family, she might be trapped here for the rest of her life.

She didn't want to know, she wanted to escape.
