Lu Ran felt uncomfortable when he heard the word "outsider". Was he the only outsider among the people at this table?
But Zhang Xingrong didn't care whether he felt uncomfortable or not, and continued to eat, drink and chat.
Lu Ran had no choice but to look at the forest next to him again. Where was the assist he was promised?
Lin Zi felt the gloomy gaze and turned his head pitifully—
"I can't help it, bro!"
'You don't want to find a solution?'
"I thought about it, but Rongya is indestructible. If I say anything more, she'll kick me out too."
"Where's the assist you promised me?"
'……'
The two had exchanged glances many times before, and they had always successfully solved the problem, but this time they obviously parted on bad terms.
Lu Ran glared at him and had no choice but to sit down, continuing to look at Zhang Xingrong pitifully. He was really hungry, and the spicy and rich aroma that filled the room made him even hungrier.
But soon, everyone was full. Linzi finished last and drank all the soup!
Lu Ran: “…”
He felt even hungrier and uncomfortable!
Everyone simply cleared the table and left. The two said they had something to discuss, so they couldn't stay. Soon, only the siblings were left in the room.
"What do you want?"
Lu Ran glanced at Lin Zi, and Lin Zi went up to take Shi Tou out to play, while keeping an eye on him from outside.
Seeing him like this, the brother and sister knew that he really had something to say, so they sat down and listened to him.
Lu Ran looked at Zhang Xingrong, a little hesitant. She felt bad knowing the truth, but knowing was better than not knowing. "This matter is about Aunt Jin Haitang..."
He briefly stated what he knew.
The brother and sister were stunned upon hearing this. They had no idea their mother was actually from the provincial capital's Jin family. Although the Jin family no longer existed in the provincial capital, the legend of a "Jin-filled city" still lingered there. Even some of the elders in the production team had mentioned such a large landlord and merchant. This showed how famous the Jin family was in the area at the time.
"You...you said that Zhang Xinglian told others about this?" Zhang Hewu immediately became nervous. This was no small matter. If others knew about it, their family would be in danger!
Lu Ran looked at the brother and sister and knew that they didn't know about this matter. Neither Jin Haitang nor Zhang Guoan had mentioned it to them.
Then why did Jin Haitang tell Zhang Xinglian about this?
"Yes," Lu Ran nodded, "I told you this so that you can be prepared."
Although the situation had changed, everything was still not completely stable. So he still wanted to give them a warning and also share a solution. Although Zhang Xinglian was now under his threat, there was no guarantee that she wouldn't go crazy.
Zhang Xingrong thought about the events in the capital and smiled: "What are you afraid of? It's already this time, why should I be afraid that she will fight me?"
The last time Yang Kuiwu and Chen Xuezhi wanted to bring people to fight her, she was not afraid. What is she afraid of now?
Just a few days ago, some things in the capital had been confirmed, so she didn't have to worry at all. In fact, it had changed at the end of last year, but it was just that it was far away and many things were still undecided.
But now, she is no longer afraid. In a few months, the college entrance examination will be announced to be resumed. By then, everything will change completely, and people's concepts will also change. Who will care about your background then?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at Lu Ran. She didn't believe they didn't know about the changes in the capital. Even if he didn't know, wouldn't Mr. Lu know?
