Chapter 3 Aunt "I'm not your sister, I'm your aunt."...
The little man tilted his head and looked at her. When their eyes met, Gao Shule almost forgot why she was here.
The villain spoke first: "Are you looking for Xie Yanzhi? She's not here. She hasn't gotten off work yet."
The voice was so sweet and soft that Gao Shule felt her heart soften. She squatted down and smiled softly at her: "When will she come back? I'll come to see her later."
"You don't have to come." Xie Ran said.
The smile on Gao Shule's face suddenly froze, replaced by embarrassment and helplessness that could not be concealed, but she seemed to have expected this and adjusted her expression quickly.
She pretended to be relaxed and said, "Okay, I understand. Please tell my aunt-in-law that I have caused her trouble."
Gao Shule stood up to leave, but the corner of her clothes was pulled again.
"I'll go with you to your show, and you can pick me up then."
After hearing what she said, Gao Shule opened her eyes wide and looked surprised: "My aunt asked you to accompany me?"
"It's me who wants to go with you." Xie Ran corrected her.
"Do you know what you're going to do?"
"I know, it's a variety show. Don't worry, I have a good personality and won't embarrass you!" Xie Ran raised his face, his bright eyes full of confidence and pride.
Gao Shule felt a warm current in her heart. She was very grateful to the other party, but it was difficult for her to say those words. She secretly thought in her heart that she must protect her sister——
Gao Shule didn't know that Xie Ran had become smaller. She always thought that the little person in front of her was the daughter that Xie Ran "secretly" gave birth to, because she and Xie Ran had the same face when they were children.
The reason why she said she gave birth secretly was that she judged that her sister was only five or six years old, and when she was born, Xie Ranying was still in college.
It is always more believable that a college student gets pregnant before marriage than that her age shrinks by 20 years overnight. The former is just a social gossip, while the latter is a supernatural event.
*
There were still two days before the filming of the variety show started, and Gao Shule came to pick her up. She wanted her sister to spend two more days with her and adapt to the unfamiliar environment in advance.
Before leaving, Xie Yanzhi counted Xie Ran's luggage again and again, and repeatedly reminded her: "Don't always look at your phone, eat less snacks, don't eat sweets at night, and don't kick the quilt when you sleep..."
Xie Ran nodded and said, "I know, I know. You should go to work quickly. You'll be late. I will take good care of myself and Lele. Don't worry. If you really encounter any trouble, I will call you."
Gao Shule was confused by this conversation: Are the identities of these two people reversed? The adults were full of worries, but the little ones calmly comforted and persuaded them. And why let my sister take care of myself? This is not right.
Before she could figure it out, Xie Ran had already gotten into the car before her and urged her to leave quickly.
Gao Shule prepared a portable child seat in the car and learned how to use it in advance. I was just about to show off my skills to my sister, but when I got in the car, I found that she had already fastened her clothes and was sitting there properly. After she got in the car, he held out his hand to her and said, "Give me your phone."
Gao Shule didn't know why she wanted her phone, but she gave it to her anyway.
Xie Ran took Gao Shule's phone, quickly opened the map software, entered the address, and then went to the navigation page. "I want to go somewhere, take me there first."
Gao Shule was shocked at her proficiency in using the mobile phone. At the same time, she remembered that Xie Yanzhi had just told her to play with her mobile phone less. Gao Shule couldn't help but think, her sister is so young, how long must she have played with the phone in private to become so proficient in it? It seems that she really needs to keep an eye on her in the future.
*
The address Xie Ran entered into the map software was Yunjing Bay, which was where she lived after she graduated and returned to China.
After returning to China, Xie Ran did not live with her parents. She had another house very close to Song Rui.
When controlled by the plot, all of Xie Ran's actions revolved around Song Rui. Not only did he work like a slave for him, he also served as his free driver to pick him up and drop him off at work.
When Xie Ran looks back at his past self now, it seems as if he has gone crazy.
After she resigned, Song Rui often came to harass her. He couldn't recruit a new chief engineer, and in order to prevent Cefeng from withdrawing its investment, he wanted Xie Ran to go back to work. He called him eight hundred times a day, and when his cell phone couldn't get through, he went to his door in person to block him.
In order to avoid harassment and also for fear that his shrinkage would be discovered, Xie Ran moved back to his parents' house.
I left in a hurry and forgot to take many things with me. Other things can be bought now, but the computer cannot. Even if she buys it, it will be useless because all her work and study materials are in it.
It is said that "learning is like rowing against the current, and the mind is like riding a horse on a plain." Xie Ran was worried that if he did not come into contact with professional knowledge for a period of time, he would soon forget it all.
She asked Xie Yanzhi several times to take the computer back, but Xie Yanzhi refused. She said that she was a child now and what did she need a computer for? Both work and study consume energy, and her current body does not allow her to be overworked.
Xie Ran felt that her mother was indeed overly anxious. Could it be that she took the computer back so that she could study and work without sleep? That's not possible, she is not that kind of person!
Xie Ran said he was going to Yunjing Bay to get something, and Gao Shule didn't find it strange. In her eyes, the little person next to her was Xie Ran's daughter, and it was normal for a daughter to go back to her mother to get something.
More than an hour later, they arrived at Cloudview Bay. I registered my name at the property management office on the first floor and prepared to take the elevator upstairs.
At this moment, a person suddenly appeared.
The man grabbed Gao Shule's shoulders and said excitedly: "Ranran, you are finally back?"
Gao Shule was startled, turned around, and saw that the person holding her was a young man.
The man was tall, with a clean and handsome face. His originally affectionate peach blossom eyes were wide open and distorted due to his excitement.
"Who are you...?" Gao Shule asked.
The man was also shocked when he saw her face: "Sorry, sorry, I recognized the wrong person."
Song Rui looked at her back from a distance and thought it was Xie Ran, but when he turned around, he saw it was someone he didn't recognize.
Gao Shule nodded politely and entered the elevator.
A strange thing happened. The other person followed her into the elevator and did not press the floor button.
The elevator stopped at the twelfth floor, and the man followed her out again. Gao Shule hurriedly pulled Xie Ran behind her and asked warily, "Why are you following me?"
"I'm not a bad person, don't be afraid. I'm a friend of this owner, do you know her?" Song Rui asked her, pointing at the door.
Xie Ran is the only one living on the twelfth floor, and she lives in a large flat.
Gao Shule asked him back: "What do you want?"
Judging from her tone, Song Rui judged that Gao Shule should know Xie Ran.
He took a step closer and smiled what he thought was a handsome and kind smile: "You know Xie Ran, right? This is what I mean. I'm not only her friend, but also her boss at work. I have something important to discuss with her. Is she at home? Is it convenient for me to meet her?"
Gao Shule looked him up and down and replied, "She's not home."
"Then what are you doing..."
"What I'm here for has nothing to do with you." Gao Shule's voice and expression were extremely cold.
"Would you mind helping me contact her? I have something important to say to her."
"inconvenient."
Gao Shule was not at all tactful, leaving Song Rui speechless.
Gao Shule wanted to open the door, but Song Rui was standing at the door and she didn't dare to open it. After thinking for half a minute, I decided to take the elevator back down.
Song Rui was now like a headless fly, overwhelmed by the company's affairs. He felt that the other party must have news about Xie Ran, so he followed her downstairs.
But when he reached the lobby on the first floor, he saw the other party running to the property management, pointing at him and saying that the man was a pervert and wanted to follow her into the house.
The property management believed it and called the security guard to arrest the man.
Song Rui was furious.
Is there any pervert as handsome as him? !
"I'm a friend of the owner of the twelfth floor. If you don't believe me, just give her a call and ask her. But this woman, I think she's acting sneaky, like she's here to steal something." Song Rui defended himself and did not forget to throw dirty water on Gao Shule.
"Whoever stole it, I have the key!"
Xie Ran uses a semi-intelligent door lock that can be opened with fingerprint, password, or key. She had just given the keys to Gao Shule in the car.
"Who knows if your key was also stolen." Song Rui said.
The two people each insisted on their own opinion, and finally the property manager was called in. The property manager had met Song Rui and knew that Song Rui knew Xie Ran. He had never met Gao Shule and asked what her relationship with Xie Ran was.
Gao Shule thought for a moment and said, "I am her family member."
"Then...what about her?" The property manager pointed down at the little person next to her.
Just now, Xie Ran had been hiding behind Gao Shule and no one noticed her. Now she poked her face out. In the noisy hall, everyone's eyes were on her.
The little girl is very pretty, but now she is glaring, as if someone has offended her.
Xie Ran was staring at Song Rui with disgust. Suddenly, she was called. Worried that Gao Shule couldn't answer, she answered for her, "I'm also a member of Xie Ran's family."
"There is no evidence or proof. Who knows if it's made up?" Song Rui questioned loudly.
Xie Ran was too lazy to argue with him. She asked Gao Shule for her cell phone and called Gao Chengsheng, saying that she went back to Yunjing Bay to get something, but the property management would not let her in, so she asked him to talk to the management.
Hearing her babyish voice, the property manager couldn't help but utter a clip: "Little friend, who did you ask to contact me? The owner?"
Xie Ran nodded: "Owner."
This house was bought by Gao Chengsheng for Xie Ran, so the real owner is Gao Chengsheng.
As soon as she finished speaking, the property manager's cell phone rang.
Song Rui's thoughts raced. He thought, if it was really Xie Ran calling, he would snatch the phone and talk to her.
Song Rui didn't notice that the property manager was suddenly stunned when he saw the caller ID. When he answered the call, he took two steps forward and snatched the phone away.
"Of course! It's me! Song Rui. Why didn't you answer my calls for so many days? I have something to tell you. Feng Daiyue and I broke up. Please come back. I need you very much!"
Song Rui finished speaking the key points in one breath and then waited for the other party to respond.
The next moment, he heard a stern male voice: "Please return the phone to the property management."
Is a man.
Why is he a man?
Before Song Rui could ask any questions, his phone had been snatched back by the property management.
Song Rui saw the property manager hunched over with a fawning smile on his face. He first explained to the other party, and then kept saying "okay, okay, yes, yes" repeatedly. A flattering attitude, as if the person was not talking to him on the phone, but standing right in front of him.
Song Rui rolled his eyes in disdain.
After hanging up the phone, the property manager said to Gao Shule, "It's confirmed. You guys can go up."
His attitude completely changed 180 degrees, and he smiled widely, almost inviting me.
Song Rui stared anxiously: "You just let her go up like this? What if she is a thief..."
The property manager interrupted him impatiently: "What kind of thief is this? He is a family member of the owner. We have confirmed it."
"Which owner? It's clearly a man on the phone!" Song Rui shouted.
"What are you yelling about? You look like a decent person, but how can you be so uncultured? Don't you know that you can't make loud noises in public places?" The property manager pointed at him and ordered the security guard in the lobby, "Get out."
Song Rui has always been polite in his dealings with others. He has never been pointed at and called "uncultured" by anyone in his life. The other party was a property manager in a residential area, a low-level service industry worker whom he particularly looked down upon.
He was so angry that his face turned red and white.
However, this was someone else's territory and the other party was more numerous and powerful. In order to save his last bit of face, he had no choice but to leave alone.
But he felt unwilling to give up when he walked out of the community. After thinking it over, he took out his mobile phone and sent a message to someone: I remember you have a friend working in the Housing Authority? Please help me find out who the owner of the twelfth floor of Building 8 in Yunjingwan is.

After getting rid of Song Rui, Xie Ran went upstairs smoothly to get his computer, and packed up the snacks he had bought but didn't have time to eat.
While she was packing, Gao Shule was nearby touring the house.
Gao Shule came to Xie Ran's house for the first time and looked very seriously.
Xie Ran's house is simply decorated, mainly in white, with almost no extra decoration. Besides books and a computer, there are only two photos on the table.
She walked over and took a look, and saw a family photo of Xie Ran and his parents. Another photo was of her and Song Rui. In the photo, she was wearing a bachelor's gown and holding a bouquet of flowers in her arms. Song Rui put his hand on her shoulder in an intimate manner.
That was Xie Ran’s graduation ceremony. Song Rui came over and gave her flowers. This is the only photo they took together.
Gao Shule was just thinking that the hand on Xie Ran's shoulder was an eyesore when suddenly someone picked up the photo and threw it heavily into the trash can on the ground.
"I forgot to deal with this broken thing last time." Xie Ran seemed to feel that his hands were dirty, and immediately took out a wet tissue to wipe his hands after throwing the photo away.
Seeing that she was very familiar with everything in this house, Gao Shule asked tentatively: "Have you been living here for the past few years?"
Xie Ran said “hmm”.
"You and Ah...your mother have been living together?"
"My mother?" Xie Ran thought this question was strange. Why did he suddenly ask Xie Yanzhi? They live together, right? It's all one city. Thinking of this, Xie Ran replied: "I guess so."
"Where has she been all this time? Why haven't I seen her?"
"Didn't you just see him?" Xie Ran said.
"when?"
"In the morning."
"ah?"
Seeing Gao Shule's confused expression, Xie Ran knew there must be a misunderstanding. "Who do you think my mother is?"
"Isn't it...A Luo?"
A Luo herself was dumbfounded.
No wonder she called herself "sister" the last time she came home. It turns out that she really regarded herself as a sister.
If she gave birth to a child, the child would be of the same generation as Gao Shule, so she would be a younger sister, a real cousin.
"I'm not your sister." Xie Ran said bluntly: "I'm your aunt."
"Aunt? Aunt?" Gao Shule looked confused. When she came to her senses, her mouth opened wide and her pupils trembled: "My aunt is your mother?"
"Um."
Gao Shule exclaimed, as if she had just gone through a brainstorm. After a long while, she said in a low voice with emotion, "My uncle and aunt are in very good health."
Xie Ran: “…”
This social phobic rarely opens his mouth, but once he does, he won't stop until he says something shocking.
I know that she has misunderstood again, mistaking her for the second child of Xie Yanzhi and Gao Chengsheng. Xie Ran did not explain this time because she was not sure whether Gao Shule could be trusted.
"What about A'Luo?" Gao Shule asked, "Where is your sister A'Luo?"
"She went abroad for a trip." Xie Ran said.
This was the unified rhetoric she and her parents had agreed upon. Whenever anyone asked about Xie Ran, they would say that she had gone abroad.
"Is there a problem in her relationship with Song Rui?"
This time it was Xie Ran's turn to be surprised: "You know Song Rui?"
"I know. It's the boy who followed us just now, and the one in the trash can, right?" Gao Shule pointed at the photo in the trash can.
Xie Ran was embarrassed.
If even Gao Shule knew about it, then it seemed that his love-brained deeds were already known to everyone in the family.
"They broke up, right?" Gao Shule asked.
"Well, we're separated."
"That's good." Gao Shule nodded and murmured softly: "That man is very bad and not worthy of Luo at all. Luo should have broken up with him a long time ago."
