Chapter 21 Chapter 21 is in a melodramatic novel. ...
At the time Wei Ran mentioned, Lin Luochen had just woken up from a vegetative state a few months ago and was still undergoing rehabilitation.
It was like he couldn't taste or smell anything, and his heart was always empty and depressed, as if he was walking in the fog. It seemed as if everything he came into contact with in this world did not have what he wanted.
The feeling of emptiness is really depressing.
Lin Luochen immersed himself in his career, having almost five meetings a day.
I went to attend the annual meeting of Company X and was also invited to look at investment projects.
Leaving early means that the headache will come back again.
There was indeed something at the meeting that day that made him feel inexplicably bored and uneasy.
But he really didn't remember the details that Wei Ran said. He had a severe headache at that time and saw double. He didn't hear anyone calling Wei Ran where he was.
As for why looking back.
Lin Luochen himself couldn't explain it clearly.
Wei Ran: “…………”
"You, how could you lose your memory?" Wei Ran never expected that such a situation would occur.
"No..." Lin Luochen subconsciously wanted to say that he was fine. He had often said this since waking up - he didn't want anyone to care about him, but he also found the people at home annoying.
But in front of Wei Ran, the words that came out of his mouth were suddenly taken back.
Lin Luochen hesitated for a moment, then changed his words: "Well, there was a car accident."
The words are brief, but the sounds are deliberately drawn out.
A few years ago, when he was pestering Wei Ran to take her to the movies, he used this tone.
"Car accident???"
Wei Ran was so shocked that she didn't even notice Lin Luochen's tone. She only asked, "When?"
"Several years ago... not long after I broke up with you." Lin Luochen downplayed the past and explained emphatically: "Wei Ran, I really don't remember. I came back to find you because I remembered you."
“…”
Wei Ran was silent.
Lin Luochen's eyes drooped, revealing a pair of pitiful puppy eyes.
This silence that once again descended into tranquility was a long trial for him.
Wei Ran clutched the quilt again.
After a moment, he said with a pale face, "Just forget it. Maybe it's too painful for you to remember me."
Lin Luochen: "...Wei Ran..."
In the sunshine, Wei Ran smiled a brilliant smile, so beautiful it was enchanting. But perhaps because it was too pure and spotless, this beauty seemed a little cruel.
Wei Ran has often looked pale in recent years, and even his smile is rarely obvious.
But this time, he wore a very lively and bright smile, as if he was still a student many years ago, and emphasized to Lin Luochen: "It's good to forget."
“…………”
Wei Ran's attitude in rejecting him was exactly the same as many years ago, brief and decisive, leaving no room for anyone.
Lin Luochen was almost instantly enraged.
The little puppy that was abandoned on that rainy night has now turned into a terrifying wolf.
Others might be attacked even if they didn't provoke him, not to mention the person in front of him, who had been dancing in his mind time and time again.
But when he saw Wei Ran's pale and thin appearance, Lin Luochen didn't get angry with him after all.
He thought about what he had gotten out of Dudu in recent days.
...Or maybe it wasn't that he was deliberately trying to be polite, but whenever he mentioned his dad or his work, Dudu would start playing his dad's hard work, his dad was unhappy, and his dad's life wasn't going well at all...
Just thinking about these...
Lin Luochen finally closed his eyes and said, "Since you know you've let me down, if you still feel a little guilty, don't get in the way of me pursuing you."
Wei Ran: ???
Lin Luochen suddenly opened his eyes: "The Lin family said that you agreed to date me in order to extort the ten million yuan breakup fee from the old man."
Wei Ran: “…”
Wei Ran's face turned even paler.
He stiffened his neck and lowered his eyes, not looking at Lin Luochen's expression. He just tilted his head as if to acquiesce, "Didn't you already know this?"
Wei Ran: "I just took your grandfather's 10 million..."
"If you're in this for the money, please live a better life."
Not intending to listen to him any further, Lin Luochen interrupted him angrily.
This time it was Wei Ran's turn to look up at him. But Lin Luochen had already turned around, and he no longer wanted Wei Ran to see his face.
Lin Luochen said: "When you are really better, I will believe what you say."
After saying this, he put his hands in his pockets and strode out of the room.
Wei Ran: “…………”
Lin Luochen opened the door and Dudu immediately looked over here.
He didn't even play with the toys in his hands.
Lin Luochen looked at Tuan, who was sitting there with his big eyes blinking.
Before returning home this time, everyone in the family said that Wei Ran was with him for money, so Lin Luochen should just forget about her. If he forgot about that heartless person, he wouldn't be hurt again. That's why no one ever mentioned Wei Ran to him.
But Lin Luochen never believed this nonsense.
The Wei Ran in his memory would not set up such a scheme just for a breakup fee of 10 million.
It’s not that Wei Ran doesn’t love money, but for such a small amount of money, Wei Ran doesn’t need to do that at all.
Those who wrote about Wei Ran really underestimated Wei Ran.
But Wei Ran did have another true love. …For that true love, she didn't hesitate to publicly acknowledge Dudu, and was willing to sink to the bottom of the entertainment industry, struggling to raise Wei Dudu…
Of course Lin Luochen was so angry that he was about to explode.
What made him even more angry was that he found that he couldn't bear to lose his temper with that person when he saw Wei Ran's face. Even after meeting her, he was still desperate to reconcile with her!
He would rather Wei Ran left him for money, so he began to act crazy and dream in a sinister and paranoid manner, thinking that ten million could buy Wei Ran to be with him once.
Then he was willing to pay 100 million, no, all his fortune, to let Wei Ran be with him not just once, but thousands of times, forever.
Lin Luochen often gives up on himself like this.
And he did just that.
But when he realized that even this didn't earn Wei Ran a single glance, he was practically going crazy again. Or rather, that overwhelming feeling of powerlessness made him feel like he was back to that rainy night five years ago, feeling completely lost.
Until last night.
He chatted a lot with Dudu and even became Dudu's godfather.
…
Lin Luochen didn't like children. But strangely, he never rejected Dudu.
Dudu is a very sensitive baby. Even though he didn't hear clearly what his father and godfather were saying in the room, he seemed to hear his uncle talking loudly.
"Uncle." Dudu stood up and walked to Lin Luochen. He raised his head to look at his uncle with a worried expression on his face.
Even though he didn't understand children, Lin Luochen felt that this was not an expression that should appear on the face of a human cub.
So he touched Dudu's round little shoulder and said, "Don't worry, uncle promised Dudu that he won't be mean to your father."
"Ah!" Dudu was surprised that the baby hadn't asked anything yet, so the uncle asked what the baby wanted to ask.
Dudu is a smart baby, and smart babies also like smart uncles. The most important thing is that the uncle listened to Dudu.
So Wei said sweetly, "Thank you, Dad Lin. You are so kind, Dad Lin."
Lin Luochen smiled weakly and nodded lightly: "Go and accompany your father."
He made way for the door.
But the little kid, who was only above his knees, still came forward and hugged his legs.
Lin Luochen didn't expect Dudu to be like this. He paused stiffly for two seconds, then suddenly squatted down and took the soft, glutinous rice cake-like cub into his arms.
"Dad Lin also thanks Dudu."
In the room, Wei Ran raised his head from his palms and saw this scene.
There were still a few crystal droplets on her fingertips. Wei Ran looked at Dudu lying limply against Lin Luochen through her tearful eyes. The tall man squatted down the next moment and half-knelt on the ground to talk to Dudu.
Looking from the side, the two people, one big and one small, had exactly the same serious expressions.
.
Lin Luochen said he had something to do and left quickly.
Afterwards, Wei Ran took Dudu away from the hospital.
Lin Luochen was extremely efficient because his crew had already gone on vacation, so Wei Ran couldn't go back to film even if she wanted to.
This was also the first time that Ji Yangyun had seen this kind of operation, and his video call came in soon.
"Wei Ran, are you okay?"
Wei Ran was already sitting in the car with Dudu. In the video, he was only wearing a white sweatshirt, which seemed a bit too big if you looked closely. It was not Wei Ran's size at all...
"It's okay." Wei Ran said.
After yesterday's incident, this was the first time Wei Ran spoke to his agent, so naturally he had to explain the details of yesterday.
He concluded, "The guy surnamed Mi probably thought I wouldn't be willing to give up the Asia-Pacific endorsement. Or maybe he thought my personal life was messy and I wouldn't care."
Wei Ran tilted her head at last. Even as she said these words evaluating herself, she remained extremely calm.
After all, this is not the first time he has encountered such a thing.
Ji Yangyun said, "Or maybe he thought he had drugged you, and you were helpless, so you had no choice but to give in."
Wei Ran may look weak, but she can be very ruthless in her attacks. This season, Yang Yun knows this better than anyone else.
When he first heard that Wei Ran was in trouble, he was of course worried. But then he heard that Wei Ran was taken away by the man surnamed Lin... Ji Yangyun looked at Wei Ran's ill-fitting sweatshirt and her eyes, which were obviously tearful, and said that what he really wanted to ask was, was Wei Ran not bullied by the man surnamed Lin?
But that is Wei Ran's private matter.
Lin had always been different to Wei Ran. Since Wei Ran had agreed to Lin's intervention and take over Dudu yesterday, then...
However, since Wei Ran didn't mention these things, he was too embarrassed to ask.
Ji Yangyun simply said, "I didn't expect that Mi guy to be so audacious, but this morning, I saw that Yajie had already announced his dismissal."
Wei Ran is not the only artist under Ji Yangyun, and strictly speaking, he and Wei Ran are just partners - after the tragic termination of his contract with the previous agency, Wei Ran went out on his own and refused to sign with another company no matter what.
Therefore, he usually does not accompany Wei Ran when she participates in event seasons. He is mainly responsible for bringing work to Wei Ran, doing audits and logistics.
But after such an incident, Ji Yangyun cannot be said to be completely without responsibility. If he was not in S City at the moment and really could not get back, he would have come to find Wei Ran long ago.
However, even though he was away from home, Ji Yangyun did not delay what he was supposed to do.
The artist was almost molested by the brand executives. This kind of thing obviously cannot be exposed publicly, otherwise it will not benefit anyone. If it can be reconciled, it should be reconciled as much as possible. This is why Mi Minde dared to be so blatant.
Wei Ran is probably not the first person he has designed.
Even if there is no evidence, the other party may turn the tables and blame Wei Ran for what happened last night. By then, Wei Ran will not be able to explain herself, and the matter cannot be made a big deal, so they can only suffer in silence.
So when the incident just happened, Ji Yangyun quickly asked someone to go to yesterday's meeting venue to collect evidence. However, not only was there no evidence, it was said that even Mi Minde was taken away by Lin Luochen.
Ji Yangyun: "Also, my friend at Yajie headquarters contacted me and said that their CEO had been 'interviewed'. It happened last night, early in the morning Beijing time. They happened to be working."
Wei Ran: “…”
Wei Ran immediately thought of the issue that Lin Luochen had raised earlier, which was to ask Yajie to pay compensation.
…
He hadn't figured out how to deal with Lin Luochen yet, and naturally didn't want to think about this kind of thing, so he said, "Leave it to you. If Yajie wants to settle it privately with you, you can handle it."
"Okay." Ji Yangyun understood Wei Ran's meaning - this was Lin's move, and they just had to wait for the result.
"Between you and Mr. Lin..." After enduring for a long time, Ji Yangyun still couldn't help asking.
Wei Ran was treated so badly back then, no one would believe that there was no one behind the scenes pushing him.
As for the claim that the person pushing the matter was not a member of the Lin family, Ji Yangyun didn't believe it anyway.
But Lin Luochen, who was invisible throughout the whole process, was the most hateful.
When that person was mentioned, Wei Ran subconsciously glanced at Dudu beside him.
Dudu was holding up his children's watch and calling his classmate. Judging from the voice, the person on the other end should be Xing Jianhao. Xing Jianhao was asking Dudu why he didn't come to school today.
Dudu babbled and explained that the little human cub had already learned the emotional value of caring for its fellow human beings. Dudu said that Daddy needed to rest and that Dudu wanted to play with Daddy, but he didn't say that it was because he was too annoyed with Xing Jianhao, so he was eager to rest for two days instead of going to school.
Xing Jianhao was still howling on the other end of the phone: "What? Your dad is on vacation so you can skip school?? Then why should I go to school when my dad is on vacation?"
"Ah..." Dudu waved his hands in the air, trying to remain gentle and suppress his annoyance: "You, stop comparing yourself to Dubao all the time!"
Wei Ran was touched by his baby's childish voice and felt a little relieved. While Dudu wasn't paying attention, he said to Ji Yangyun, "He told me today that he had a car accident and lost his memory."
“…Who got into a car accident and lost his memory?”
Ji Yangyun took a moment to react and then understood what Wei Ran was saying.
He was also stunned.
But when this matter was mentioned, Wei Ran's expression looked like he was about to cry, as if he was in no mood to pretend. He raised his eyes and said, "Can you help me check it out?"
"Investigate his car accident?"
Ji Yangyun hesitated and did not agree immediately:
"But, nothing has leaked out for so many years... How can ordinary people like us find out about something the Lin family doesn't want to be discovered... Okay, okay, let's investigate."
Ji Yangyun changed his words. Not to mention that fans couldn't stand the red corners of Wei Ran's eyes, he, as her agent, couldn't bear to see Wei Ran cry!
Ji Yangyun: "Since it was Lin who told you that he's back, then he must have almost settled the situation over there, right? ...Well, if he can't settle it, he can't come back..."
Wei Ran didn't reply, her gaze shifted from the phone screen to the window, her beautiful phoenix eyes were graceful, like a pool of clear water, but she never let it go.
Ji Yangyun: "...So you feel sorry for him again."
Wei Ran remained silent.
But looking at Wei Ran's expression, Ji Yangyun already understood.
He was Wei Ran's agent after all, so he had to remind her: "...You can't believe everything he says. This world is crazy, and people's hearts can change. Wei Ran, do you think we're in a melodramatic novel?"
Dudu, who was originally pretending to be friendly with Xing Jianhao, heard the word "dog blood". His little radar immediately stood up and he didn't bother to pay attention to what Xiaohao said. He immediately kicked his legs and said: "That's right, dog blood~"
Ji Yangyun heard it and quickly confirmed it: "That's right, Dudu said it, it's too ridiculous!"
Dudu: “…”
Wei Ran: “…”
Dudu, who was fixed in the child seat, put his hands in his pockets, his big eyes were frozen, not blinking, and Xing Jianhao's voice beside his ear could not reach Dubao's ears -
Dubao finally remembered! That word is called dog blood!
In the memory that Dudu had since birth, they were in a novel called "Dog Blood".
But Dudu couldn't understand why the novel had to do with the puppy's blood.
If you don't understand it, you can't associate it with anything, so you will always forget the term.
Several times, the baby tried to tell his father about this, but he forgot the word every time and was unable to describe it clearly to his father.
Now that his agent mentioned it, Dudu finally remembered it.
His big, dark eyes rolled around, and he looked at his father and said seriously, "But Dad, we're in a melodramatic novel."
Ji Yangyun: “…”
Wei Ran: “…”
Wei Ran looked at Dudu who was extremely serious.
Although he was always out of touch with reality, Wei Ran was particularly concerned about what Dudu said and took it very seriously. He touched Dudu's little hand and smiled gently: "Why do you say that, Dudu?"
"Suzhen!"
Dudu was anxious to explain to his father, but he couldn't make himself clear. Dudu's main point was, "Both Dad and Dudu need to be independent! Only by being independent can we avoid being bullied by bad people!"
Maybe the thing he wanted to emphasize was so important that Dudu almost turned himself into a little human machine by yelling.
This was not the first time that the baby emphasized independence. Ji Yangyun on the other end of the phone smiled and felt relieved. He thought it was a good thing. If it weren't for Dudu, Wei Ran would have been devastated long ago.
I have to say that Wei Ran is indeed difficult to communicate with sometimes, but at least he listens to his baby!
Dudu is still awesome!
Wei Dudu is really awesome. In order to emphasize independence, his little fists are clenched tightly, completely turning into Doraemon's little round hands.
Wei Ran held the baby's hand, which was almost bloodless from suffocation. It was so tender and soft. Her heart suddenly softened, and she seemed to have gained infinite strength.
No matter what, the past is the past, what is important is the present and the future.
So Wei Ran also expressed his opinion: "Don't worry, baby, Daddy will try his best."
