Chapter 49 (1500 Nutrient Solution 2-in-1) It’s been a while since I last saw you…
Yu Bai floated back to the classroom with an almost wooden face.
When he sat down in his seat, he still felt as if his soul was out of his body.
Xie Wu walked up to him, sighed and patted his shoulder.
Meeting the other party's slightly sympathetic eyes, Yu Bai suddenly realized that he had heard it too, and the whole class had heard it.
Haha, isn't this normal? After all, we are so close.
He forced a smile, but two clear tears slowly flowed from his lifeless eyes.
Xie Wu was frightened by him, and his eyes kept changing. In the end, he still held the other person's head with loyalty: "Cry, and forget about him after you're done crying."
Gu Yang looked at Yu Bai strangely. Yu Bai was sharing his secrets with him a few minutes ago. Now he was whimpering like he was having a seizure. Gu Yang couldn't help but greet him with a caring look: "What's wrong?"
What else can happen?
Sometimes Xie Wu really felt like he could suffocate himself to death. After what happened in Class 11, he felt that his ability to keep secrets had risen to the next level.
He was very tight-lipped now, and just pretended to be profound and said: "It's okay, the child has grown up and has his own worries."
Lu Ran watched this farce coldly.
So stupid.
You have the nerve to make a big fuss about such a trivial matter.
This made him start to get irritated again.
He glanced at the empty seat next to him. Nie Ying still didn't come today.
I don't know how he has done what he promised to do.
He looked at Lu Ji who was sitting in front of him again, and couldn't suppress the malice in his heart at all.
It's such an eyesore, why don't you just let him die?
When school was about to end, Lu Ji received a phone call.
The note is Mrs. Lu.
His eyes were gloomy, and after the phone rang for several seconds, he finally walked out to answer it.
The phone rang, and a gentle and hoarse voice came from the other end, calling him cautiously.
"Xiao Ji..."
Lu Ji hummed lightly and said nothing more.
Mrs. Lu was silent for a few seconds, and could only continue to speak: "Your brother and father called you before, why didn't you answer?"
"No."
"Oh, I see." Mrs. Lu said quickly, "Yes, you are still in school, it is normal that you didn't hear it."
"Xiao Ji, I called you this time because I wanted you to come back and live with me." Perhaps because she was afraid that Lu Ji would hang up the phone, Mrs. Lu spoke faster, "I've asked, and your school's dormitories are double rooms. It must be very inconvenient for you to live with another person. It's better for you to stay at home."
"It's not inconvenient at all. At least there's no one to bother my eyes here." Lu Ji said indifferently.
Mrs. Lu on the other end took a deep breath.
She knew who the other party was, but now, she couldn't even say a word to smooth things over.
Just two days ago, a man came up to them and asked them to send Lu Ran back.
She recognized that this was the gambler from the Huo family. Their Xiao Ji had suffered a lot during those years in the Huo family, so it was impossible for her to treat such a person well.
What's more, sending Ranran back to that kind of hellhole is absolutely impossible even for her biological parents. They had already arranged it with money that day.
But this Huo guy reeked of alcohol, and every word he said contained more information than the last.
He started out by thanking the Lu family for helping him raise his son for so many years, which also served to pay off the debt that the Lu Group had incurred when it bankrupted his company.
Lu Zhenxing's face changed at that moment. He hadn't thought too much about it, but when these words came out, plus the surname Huo, he remembered it all at once.
Then he started to curse and swear, saying that he had tried his best to send the child to a good life, but it turned out that the child was heartless and did not even come back to see them after knowing his own status. He only cared about climbing up the social ladder.
He no longer wanted to help conceal the truth and shouted that he wanted to bring the ungrateful bastard back home and give him a good lesson.
When he said this, he explained the whole cause and effect clearly. What was there for the Lu couple not to understand?
After so many years, I found out that I was raising a child for my former defeated rival in the mall. And the baby was not taken away by mistake in the hospital, but was switched on purpose by them.
Mrs. Lu originally thought that all the suffering her own son had endured over the years was due to bad luck and the situation of the family he went to was too bad.
But now that I think about it, I'm afraid it wasn't intentional abuse.
Because the Huo family already knew that this was not their child, coupled with previous grudges, all their anger was directed at the innocent Lu Ji.
Just thinking about this possibility made her feel extremely heartbroken.
The pain was so deep that resentment even arose in my heart.
The Huo family is really unkind. Since they want their own children to enjoy the good life, why can't they treat their own children equally well?
"Xiao Ji, we have figured out everything that happened before. Can you please come back? Give mom a chance to make it up to you." The feeling of heartache came over her again, and Mrs. Lu pleaded.
This time, no matter what others say, she will not believe it. She will accompany him well and make up for the love she failed to give him before, and will not let him suffer any grievances again.
"What about Lu Ran?" Lu Ji asked.
The voice stopped abruptly, and Lu Ji let his heart fall to the bottom little by little without any expectation.
"I've discussed this with your father." Mrs. Lu said, suppressing her guilty conscience, "It's really unfair for you to let Ranran continue to stay at home. After he graduates from high school, we will send him abroad to study and support him until he graduates from college. We won't have any other contact in the future."
She should be thankful that Xiao Ji didn't know the truth of that year, and fortunately when the man named Huo came looking for her, there were only the two of them at home.
But she really didn't know how to treat Ranran. In the end, she couldn't bear to give up the mother-son relationship that she had maintained for so many years. The plan she just mentioned was her final fulfillment.
When she gave birth to her second child, the fetus was in an abnormal position. She put in a lot of effort and was almost exhausted before she finally gave birth to the child.
After hearing the loud cry, her extremely tense heart finally relaxed and she fell into a deep sleep.
When she arrived, she was already back in the ward. Her husband held her hand and said that the child was fine.
They took the child and wanted her to have a look at him.
But for some reason, when she saw the child that she had given birth to with so much difficulty, she felt no waves in her heart, and even felt a vague panic.
She didn't know where the panic came from, she just thought she was too tired, and her husband also thought she was too tired.
Just take a good rest and regain your energy.
But she never felt any closeness to the child from beginning to end.
She didn't want to hold him in her arms, was unwilling to coax him patiently, and even resisted the idea of feeding him.
Her husband thought she had suffered too much during childbirth, so he just comforted her softly and told her that it was okay and that she could always hire a nanny to take care of the child.
But she knew that wasn't the case.
Her heart was filled with maternal love, but she just couldn't pour it into this child.
Until later, Ranran mistakenly entered the warehouse of the Ye family private hospital and developed a high fever after returning.
The child, who was only a few years old, had a fever of over 40 degrees, and the fever kept coming back even after taking antipyretics.
She almost thought she was going to lose the baby.
Because of her indifference.
She stayed by the bed day and night, holding Ranran's hand and praying non-stop.
Finally, Ranran's fever subsided, but she was left with asthma.
She finally faced up to her identity as a mother and doubled back all the love and debt she had owed to Ranran in the past.
She finally accepted this child who once seemed a stranger to her, but one day she was told that her biological child was someone else.
But she only has one heart, so what should she do?
The other side remained silent in response to her, and only the sound of the rustling wind could be heard. Mrs. Lu subconsciously wanted to show concern and asked him not to be blown in the cold wind.
The other end finally replied calmly: "I know."
Then he hung up the phone.
Only Mrs. Lu was left, still answering the phone without moving.
Is it still not enough to have achieved this?
Lu Ji had never thought that a person's heart could be so biased.
A text message popped up above the phone, which was a phone number with no remarks.
"I have done what you said. Please transfer the money to me."
"You'd better not go back on your words, or I'll speak up for Lu Ran next time and make your life miserable!"
Lu Ji lowered his eyes, his fingers trembling a little, but he still suppressed his nausea and transferred 50,000 yuan into the other party's account.
"Who are you trying to fool with just this little money? You've become successful now, the young master of the Lu family. I've raised you for so many years, and now I'm kind enough to help you deal with your own son. Do you think you can get rid of me with just a few tens of thousands of dollars?"
"One million. I'll give you three days at most. Call me now, or I'll make you pay."
The shadow that had lingered over the years made him feel sick just chatting with the other party online. He took a deep breath and opened the memo.
It records what needs to be done next, all of which were heard from Gu Yang.
Regardless of whether it was Mrs. Lu's partiality or the gambler's greed, his emotions were now overloaded to the point where he couldn't think normally. He just gritted his teeth and ticked the box to complete the matter of letting the gambler's father come forward.
It's almost like holding a lifeline.
After doing this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Were you talking to your mother on the phone just now?" Lu Ran had quietly followed Lu Ji out to observe since he answered the phone. He couldn't help but rush out and ask, "What did she want to talk to you about?"
Realizing that his tone was too harsh, he softened it stiffly: "I just want to care about you."
Since Nie Ying said that she would help him teach someone a lesson, what he had to do now was to pretend to have a good relationship with the other party first, so as to cooperate with the other party from both inside and outside.
Lu Ji raised his head and looked at him quietly. He did not respond to this sudden show of goodwill, nor did he question it. Instead, he said without warning: "Can you accompany me to a place?"
Lu Ran thought that he accepted his kindness, so he didn't ask where he was going, but just nodded with ulterior motives.
They called a taxi, but the further they drove, the more he felt something was wrong because it was too remote.
He was wondering if Lu Ji wanted to find a deserted place to beat him up.
Fortunately, they finally entered a residential area. He gritted his teeth and followed Lu Ji up.
It's a very run-down neighborhood, there's not even a property management office, and the stairs are dirty.
Lu Ran has a mysophobia. This doesn't look like a place where people can live.
He couldn't imagine how uncomfortable he would be if he often went to such a place.
Lu Ji stopped at one of the rooms. He took out a key from under the dark carpet at the door and opened the door.
Lu Ran was shocked: "Why would you leave the key in a place like this? What if someone comes in and steals something?"
Lu Ji gave him a strange look and said, "What can he steal? The most valuable thing is a life."
Then he murmured sarcastically, "If it could be stolen, it might be a good thing."
When he opened the door and walked in, Lu Ran smelled a lingering smell of cooking fumes.
His brows frowned even more tightly, wondering why Lu Ji brought him to such a shabby place.
Hearing the noise outside, the person inside ran out. Lu Ran looked closely and saw that it was a tall young man.
He must be eating, as there are rice grains on the corners of his mouth and his hands are greasy.
Looking at them, the young man smiled, clapped his hands and said to them, "Brother."
The tone of voice was very rough and strange, and it seemed as if something was not right in his mind.
Lu then took a step back and accidentally bumped into something behind him. He took a look and saw a stool lying on its back with two legs broken, and the floor was covered with spider-web-like holes.
Lu Ji just looked at him and said, "The father of this family is a gambler. Every time he loses all his money outside, he will come home and make a scene to beg for money. He will smash things or beat people."
"The mother is the only laborer in the family. She gets up early and works late every day outside. She has to come back to cook because my brother is a fool and can't take care of himself."
He spoke calmly, but there was an indescribable depression beneath the calmness.
Lu Ran opened his eyes slightly and asked uncertainly: "Is this your home?"
"No, this is your home."
Lu Ji stated this fact, but the slight emotion on Lu Ran's face instantly turned into horror: "No, you are talking nonsense!"
"My father is the chairman of the Lu Corporation, and my brother is not such a fool! I will stay in the Lu family forever!"
All the frustration and pain accumulated over the past few days exploded at this moment. Looking at Lu Ran's unrepentant face, Lu Ji couldn't control his malice at all.
He approached step by step, forcing Lu Ran to retreat step by step: "You will live in this house for the rest of your life, just like I did back then."
"You have to take care of this brother who is completely unable to take care of himself. Sometimes he gets so excited playing that he can't even control his bowels and bladder, and you have to help him clean up."
"You have to endure your mother's complaints every day and become the target of her venting when she gets angry outside and comes home."
"You will inherit all the debts of your gambling father. Every day, people will come to bang on your door and ask for money. Some of them will even bring iron bars to smash the door open, grab your head and smash it against the wall, and force you to kneel in the broken glass."
As a young master of a wealthy family who grew up in a honeypot, Lu Ran had never seen such a scene before. He was terrified and retreated to the door with a pale face, unable to control his imagination of the scene.
"Lu Ran, I will make this place your home."
Lu Ji said.
This sentence was like a declaration of war, pushing the already tense relationship between them to a point where it could not be reversed.
Lu Ran's mind went blank. He opened the door tremblingly and ran out like a stray dog.
-When he returned to the classroom the next day, Lu Ran's complexion had not improved at all. He almost did not sleep all night.
For some reason, when he returned home, his parents, who had always doted on him, seemed to have changed their attitude overnight. Lu Zhenxing was extremely cold to him, and even Mrs. Lu avoided him and refused to see him.
His mind was full of what he saw at the Huo family in the afternoon. An unprecedented sense of uneasiness enveloped him, and he dared not even close his eyes.
His expression at the moment clearly showed that something was wrong, so Ye Chen asked considerately: "What happened? You look really bad, don't let that mean you have to go to the hospital again."
Lu Ran no longer had the energy to care about Ye Chen, but he still noticed several cameras placed in the classroom. Several people in work clothes were debugging and installing them, and He Mingan was supervising with a smile on his face.
He was now so sensitive that he would get anxious at any unusual movement: "What is going on?"
"Xiao Cheng is planning to film his own show and wants to set the filming location in our class." He Mingan said with a smile, "I asked everyone in the class for their opinions yesterday, and everyone thought it was OK."
"Isn't it interesting?" Xie Wu said, "It's pretty boring anyway."
"We can also benefit from the big star's influence." Ye Chen also smiled and supported him.
"How come I don't know about this?" Lu Ran's face was not looking good. He was almost going crazy. He actually came up with another filming. "Why did you agree to this?"
"Isn't that good? Everyone is interested anyway." He Mingan didn't mind his offensive tone and continued to smile, "Besides, the agency will also pay us for the venue, and the enrollment season is coming soon, so this is all free traffic."
The main content is what I think is good and everyone thinks it is good.
Lu Ran's face was livid, but Cheng Zishi spoke up at this time: "You were not here when I talked about this yesterday, and I didn't mean to not tell you. The proposal for this program has been approved by the company."
When he moved out of the company, Lu Ran was speechless for a moment, and for some reason, Cheng Zishi was particularly nice to him today.
Although he always felt that something was wrong, it had already happened and there was nothing he could do to stop it. He could only swallow his anger and not express any opinions.
Cheng Zishi looked at him from behind as he left and sneered.
He Mingan said to him considerately: "These are all pre-recorded. If there are any parts that classmates don't like, Xiao Cheng will not put them in even if he tells him to."
After debugging the machine, the staff left first. He Mingan sat back and looked at Gu Yang who was playing with his phone for a while. Seeing that the other party had not left his sight, he asked: "Ayang, who are you chatting with?"
"Song Yinxing." Gu Yang said, still a little puzzled, "He said he wanted to end this tutoring job."
"Why? Is the money I gave not enough?"
He was about to type and add a zero at the end, but He Mingan quickly stopped him: "No, you better stop putting pressure on him."
After thinking for a while, he mentioned something: "Xiao Ying said before that she saw Gu Qingxu looking for trouble with Song Yinxing. Maybe because of this matter, it is not convenient for her to go to your house."
Although Gu Yang didn't know what the conflict between the two people was, he recalled Gu Qingxu's usual behavior and held the other party fully responsible.
Once he understands the cause, he can immediately come up with a solution.
"Then I'll come to your house."
There was silence for a full minute before someone spoke up, and it was just a repeater: "You need to come to my house."
Gu Yang's logic was very simple: "No? You've been to my house, don't you think this is unfair?"
After another long silence, the word "行" was slowly typed out over there.
Gu Yang's cell phone was lying there, and He Mingan could see it at a glance. Although he was still smiling, there was an indescribable subtlety in his smile.
"It's rare that you actually offered to go to someone else's house."
"Because I haven't seen it, I'm quite curious."
This book talked so much nonsense that it didn't even spend a bit of time describing what Song Yinxing's home looked like. Gu Yang decided to go and see it for himself.
After school, Song Yinxing sent him a message saying that he was waiting at the door.
When Gu Yang and He Mingan arrived at the door, Song Yinxing was waiting for them.
He Mingan was the first to greet the other party.
As soon as Song Yinxing saw him, he thought of the day when the two of them took the bus back together. He Mingan was like an old lady from the neighborhood committee, smiling and talking to him in roundabout ways from the time they got on the bus to the time they got off.
From his ideal university, to career direction, to small goals in three years and big goals in five years, she even asked him at what age he planned to start dating and get married, and whether he planned to have children.
He now finds it difficult to look directly at He Mingan's face.
"It seems that we are still too slow. Did you run away, Xiao Song?" He Mingan could see at a glance that the other party was barely maintaining his breathing but was still a little rapid.
Song Yinxing naturally couldn't tell them that he had just gone back early to tidy up the room and then hurried back.
He changed the subject and said to Gu Yang: "Shall we set off now?"
He pointed below him, and He Mingan noticed that the other person was riding a bicycle.
The temperature today has dropped sharply compared to yesterday and has reached below zero. Everyone has changed into down jackets, but Gu Yang is still wearing a coat as if he doesn't know it's cold.
He Mingan was just thinking about asking his driver to take them there first and put the bicycles in the trunk.
But Gu Yang had already done it.
He Mingan had no choice but to pull the hollow-out scarf, which had no other function besides looking good, over his face and said, "Don't catch a cold."
Song Yinxing, who finally came back from his emergency rush, also realized that Gu Yang was wearing too little. He said, "Let me call you a taxi."
"And then you'll chase me and ride after me?" Gu Yang said lazily. Thinking of that scene, he actually smiled. "It's okay. Just go ahead. You won't freeze to death."
Not far behind, Gu Qingxu quietly lowered the car window and looked at Gu Yang who walked past him completely ignoring him.
Uncle Huang, who was sitting in the front, couldn't help but sigh: "I haven't seen the young master laugh so happily in a long time."
Upon hearing these words, Gu Qingxu finally couldn't help but burst out laughing coldly.
Good job, Gu Yang.
He would rather sit on the back of a bicycle and enjoy the cold wind than sit in a car and enjoy the air-conditioning.
