Chapter 150 Lin Xi looks a lot like her aunt in the photo
After listening to her father's words, Jiang Ran calmed down and said, "Then I'll go and cripple him."
Zhou Licheng slammed his hand on the table. "Jiang Ran, are you out of your mind? How could you break the law?"
"Then what do you expect me to do? I have to give Xixi an explanation." Jiang Ran glared at Zhou Licheng.
"Isn't her boyfriend very capable? Does he need you to get involved? Are you going to give him an explanation?" Zhou Licheng muttered under his breath, "Stupid!"
"Yes, I'm stupid, my whole family is stupid." Jiang Ran gets angry whenever she thinks of Song Xu. How could he be worthy of Xi Xi?
Unable to get anything from there, Jiang Ran turned and left.
Zhou Licheng's words bounced back at him, making him extremely unhappy. Seeing Jiang Ran leave without a word, he felt a little panicked and called his son, Zhou Jingming.
"Keep a close eye on Ranran these next few days, don't let her go out and cause trouble."
Zhou Jingming nodded, then hesitated before saying, "Dad, you shouldn't get involved in this. They're contacting you more and more often."
Zhou Licheng sighed, "What can I do? I can't just ignore it completely."
"Are you sure the message was sent to you by your aunt?" Zhou Jingming asked. "You haven't seen her for almost twenty-eight years."
“I’ve been trying to find out about the Lu family for the past two years, but my aunt doesn’t live there,” Zhou Jingming said with a furrowed brow. “My aunt severed ties with the Zhou family back then because she was afraid of implicating us. Why would she suddenly contact you all these years?”
Zhou Licheng tapped his fingers on the table. "She... she actually didn't contact me many times, and the things she asked me for help with were all small things. Your aunt is very sensible."
“The Lu family has stopped engaging in those shady businesses in recent years,” Zhou Licheng said, looking at the photos hanging on the opposite wall. “I plan to visit your aunt; this is also your grandparents’ last wish.”
Zhou Jingming didn't say anything more. He thought that he might be able to find out some information through the Song family. The Song family and the Lu family were old friends, so they must know about the Lu family's situation.
He glanced again at the photos hanging on the wall, a picture of his father with his grandparents when he was young, and his aunt whom he had never met.
Jiang Ran liked Lin Xi because Lin Xi looked a lot like her aunt in the photo. She remembered that on her first day of high school, she told her family that there was a female classmate who was very beautiful and looked a lot like her aunt.
Later, he even asked his mother to ask the teacher to change his seat so that he could become Lin Xi's deskmate for three years.
When I saw Lin Xi in person last time, she really did look just like Jiang Ran had described. Her boyfriend was Song Xu, so I suggested that Jiang Ran invite her and Song Xu out for a meal.
Thinking of this, Zhou Jingming got up and went to find Jiang Ran.
...
After taking a shower and changing into her pajamas, Lin Xi lay on the bed, clearing her mind, preparing to sleep.
She was exhausted, not only physically but also mentally. Her exposed arms were covered in bruises, and some parts were scratched raw.
These are the marks Lu Yunqi left on her body when she pinched him.
She's not afraid anymore. Her brother is back, and even if something happens to her, she can rest assured that her grandmother will be taken care of by her brother.
Thinking about all this, Lin Xi calmed down, a slight smile appeared on her lips, and she could finally get some sleep.
Just as Lin Xi closed her eyes, her phone suddenly rang. She thought it was Song Xu calling and was about to hang up when she glanced at the screen and saw that it was Jiang Ran calling.
Calling her so late must mean something urgent. Lin Xi answered the phone, "Ranran?"
“Xi Xi,” Jiang Ran said apologetically, “I’m sorry.”
"What's wrong?" Lin Xi frowned. "What happened?"
“Xi Xi…” Jiang Ran paused for a moment, “Xiao Yang has been released on bail, using a psychiatric diagnosis certificate.”
“Oh,” Lin Xi understood what Jiang Ran meant. She was now indifferent to life and death, and Xiao Yang’s matter was no big deal to her. “It’s okay, let him go. With that diagnosis, his future life and career are ruined. Perhaps this is a better punishment for him.”
"Xixi, aren't you angry with me?" Jiang Ran's voice sounded very down. "I promised you I wouldn't let him out."
"Ranran, don't always take the blame upon yourself," Lin Xi advised. "This matter has nothing to do with you. It's not like you were trying to kidnap and rape me."
"I'm glad you don't blame me, otherwise I wouldn't have the face to see you." Jiang Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
“Then I’ll come see you,” Lin Xi said with a smile. “When will you be free? Tian Tian and I will come to visit you.”
"Tomorrow," Jiang Ran said. "I was just thinking of inviting you to dinner. You can bring the Song brothers along too."
Lin Xi was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Let's not bring them. We're still angry."
"You two had a fight?" Jiang Ran was actually a little happy. "It's okay. If he's not good to you, just dump him. I'll introduce you to someone better."
"Let's not talk about these things for now," Lin Xi said, calculating the holiday. Jiang Ran would be going back to school in two days, and who knew when she would be able to come out again. "Tian Tian and I will come to see you tomorrow at noon."
Jiang Ran agreed, "Okay, I'll send you the table number after I book the restaurant."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ran tossed it aside and looked at Zhou Jingming. "Sorry, I couldn't get an appointment with the person you wanted to meet."
“Then let’s do it next time,” Zhou Jingming said as he got up to leave, but couldn’t help but remind her again, “Lin Xi has already let go of that matter, so don’t do anything impulsive, lest you implicate Lin Xi.”
"I understand," Jiang Ran glanced at him impatiently and held out her hand. "You don't need to go tomorrow, but you'll have to treat us and pay."
Zhou Jingming put his hands in his pockets and said, "Don't you even have enough money for a meal? You've taken a lot of money from me before."
“Fine, if you won’t give it to me,” Jiang Ran said, taking out her phone. “Then I’ll go ask my sister-in-law for it. She’ll definitely give it to me.”
Zhou Jingming snatched Jiang Ran's phone away, saying, "Don't disturb her, she's asleep at this hour."
Zhou Jingming took out a bank card and tossed it to Jiang Ran, saying, "Pay it back to me when you're done using it tomorrow."
"You stingy guy," Jiang Ran put away the bank card, waved to Zhou Jingming, "You should go now, I'm going to sleep too."
...
Lin Xi slept until seven o'clock. She looked at the time in disbelief. How could she have slept for so long?
She walked out of the room in her pajamas, having promised to make breakfast for Tian Tian this morning, but she didn't know if Tian Tian was awake yet.
There was a sound coming from the living room. Lin Xi went over and said, "Sweetie, I'm sorry, I overslept..."
Lin Xi stopped speaking before she could finish. She saw that Song Chen and Song Xu were there, and Bai Tiantian was eating breakfast.
When Bai Tiantian saw Lin Xi come out, she quickly greeted her, "Xi Xi, you woke up at just the right time, come and have breakfast."
Lin Xi instinctively covered her arm and turned to walk back.
Song Xu caught up with her in a few strides, grabbed her arm, and asked coldly, "Xi Xi, what happened to your arm?"
