Chapter 65, Let's Go Home
The light in the study is as bright as day.
The old man put down his cane and sat down, his thin body sinking into the soft sofa, and he looked a little depressed.
"Ayang, Ranran must know that what happened just now was my instruction. She is on guard, and it will be even more difficult to dig out useful information from her."
Every word that girl said to him was full of sarcasm and thorns, using her words as sharp blades to stab his heart.
"I originally thought that there was something special about her to Si Xu that was worth my attention. But in the end..." the old man sighed.
Shen Yang understood what the old man meant: "Si Xu didn't accompany Ran Ran tonight, which means that Ran Ran is not that important to him."
"right."
"Isn't this better, Grandpa?" Shen Yang said, "Without Si Xu as her backer, Ranran can only rely on us in this apocalypse. We are her family, the ones who can protect her in the future. One day, she will understand this."
Thinking of the way the girl looked at him, Shen Lang shook his head: "That child may be different from what we think."
They had been separated for so many years, and she had been wandering in the apocalypse for half a year. They had no way of knowing what she had been through, and naturally they could not imagine what she really looked like now.
"At least, judging from what happened tonight, Ranran is not as easy to control as we thought."
I originally thought that assigning my close confidants to her would not only provide her with a support for her future life, but also make it easier for the Shen family to control her.
Who would have thought that the girl would beat the man unconscious? Perhaps it was the ruthlessness and determination she had developed during the apocalypse.
How brutal.
"Grandpa, it's okay. I'll take care of what happens next." Shen Yang walked behind the old man and massaged his shoulders. "No matter how rebellious she is, Ranran is just a little girl after all... You can't be mean to a little girl. You need to be coaxed."
The grandson spoke frivolously. The old man closed his eyes and said unhappily, "Don't use the same tricks you use on other women on your sister."
"How could that be?" Shen Yang exclaimed exaggeratedly, and said with a smile, "Let Ranran stay at the Shen family first. Grandpa, don't arrange any more men or women for her. I will coax her and make her willingly work for our Shen family."
Women, especially smart and cunning women, as equally matched opponents, will definitely add a lot of fun to the game.
…
Returning to the room, Jiang Ran locked the door, took the doll off the bay window, pulled open the curtains, pushed open the window, and took a look downstairs.
At this height, if you put down the sheets and quilt covers, you should be able to land safely.
However, the window faces the garden, so even if you land, there is no guarantee that you can escape from the villa safely.
Sigh. The girl sat by the bay window and sighed softly.
Is Si Xu done with his work? If so, why hasn't he come to pick her up yet?
They had come here together, but halfway there a staff member from the laboratory suddenly caught up with them and said that something had happened with Shen Yao and asked Si Xu to go back to the laboratory.
He said he would come to pick her up after the matter was settled, but he hasn't come yet. Could it be that the matter is very difficult?
With nothing to do, the girl began to have wild thoughts.
If Si Xu really couldn't come to pick her up, would she have to stay at the Shen family in the future? If that was the case, she should have been more polite to Shen Lang just now, otherwise what would Shen Lang do to her in the future?
No, no, no, no, Si Xu would not leave her here alone, he definitely wouldn't.
A gust of wind blew in through the window. Jiang Ran shook himself, closed the window, and prepared to put the doll back into the bay window.
The girl squatted down to pick up the dolls she had thrown on the ground, and put them neatly back on the windowsill one by one.
Suddenly, her eyes fell on a point and did not move for a long time.
What's this dark red spot on the wall? Is it mold? It doesn't look like it.
I ran my fingertips over the red spot, but it didn't feel anything special. I brought it to my nose and sniffed it, but there was no strange smell either.
Is she being too suspicious?
But no matter how you look at it, this red spot looks like a bloodstain that has not been cleaned up.
This room belongs to Shen Muxin, that kind of delicate and weak rich girl, who is powerless, how could she leave such a large bloodstain in the room? It can't be a nosebleed, right?
And, look at this wall...
She hadn't looked carefully just now, but now, attracted by the red spots, she carefully examined the wall and found that half of the wall had been repainted.
Hmm? Apparently, that red spot was evidence of a sloppy painting job.
In the eldest daughter of the Shen family's room, half of the wall had been repainted, and there were red patches that were very likely to be bloodstains... Did something terrible happen in this room?
Countless guesses flashed through Jiang Ran's mind, it was a mess and he had no clue.
But there is one thing she is very clear about: the Shen family is hiding a huge secret, a secret that needs to be covered up with blood.
…
After putting the dolls in order, Jiang Ran had nothing better to do, so he checked the room carefully.
However, apart from the suspicious red spot just now, there was nothing else worth noting in the room.
Well, since there is no other useful information, why not... continue looking at Jiang Ranran's childhood photos to relieve boredom.
The little girl was so cute when she was little. Watching her more often can help you relieve your worries and soothe your body and mind.
Walking to the table, Jiang Ran's smile froze: Oh, she forgot, she used the photo album to hit the man, and now I'm afraid it has been cleaned up by the servants as a weapon.
Jiang Ran was still feeling sorry for herself when a loud bang came from the door of the room. As she looked on in astonishment, the entire door flew several meters away and landed on the ground with a clang.
The whole villa seemed to shake.
The man in the white coat stood at the door against the light, with an upright posture and outstanding temperament.
His eyes scanned the room and landed on her.
His cold gaze warmed up. He extended his hand and said softly, "Jiang Ran, let's go home."
Jiang Ran, back home.
He stood in the soft light, his whole body coated with a layer of furry warm color, his eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and his voice was soft, calling her to go home.
When he said he was going home, Jiang Ran temporarily put aside all the unhappiness and calculations, jumped in front of him, and hooked her fingers with his slender fingers.
"Si Xu." The girl unconsciously complained in a coquettish tone, "Why did you come just now?"
Letting her hook her fingers and swing them back and forth, Si Xu lowered his eyes and looked at her, his eyes were clear and his smile was light: "Work has just finished."
You came here just after finishing? Jiang Ran was even happier: "Is it very tiring?" She remembered something and asked, "Have you eaten?"
Si Xu shook his head, lowered his eyes, his eyes sparkling like a wronged cat: "I've been working."
That means there is no time to eat. Jiang Ran kissed him gently on the cheek and comforted him: "I'll make you something delicious when I get home."
He chuckled, "Okay."
