Chapter 100 Chili

"Boss, you are so awesome!" Lu Ran's

eyes lit up.

Ji Min put down the bow with a faint smile.

"It's not that great. The most I can do is teach you." He said.

On the other side, Shen Xingzhuo shut himself off.

Lu Ran shot a few more times under Ji Min's guidance, and finally got a score of five or six rings.

He had a lot of fun.

Because Lu Ran had no chance to get in touch with these when he was a child.

Lu Ran still remembers watching some martial arts TV dramas when he was a child, and he thought the male protagonists in them were very handsome when they pulled the bow and shot arrows.

He even secretly made a bow and arrow for himself.

It was just simply tying the two ends of a branch with silk thread, and then using a branch as an arrow.

But it was too dangerous, so it was confiscated by the teacher.

Ji Min sat quietly in the wheelchair, looking at the boy's back.

After playing for a while, Lu Ran wanted to continue, but Ji Min stopped him:

"Enough, your arms will hurt at night if you continue playing."

After that, Ji Min turned around and looked at the housekeeper.

Mr. Gu hadn't woken up yet, so the housekeeper could only smile apologetically.

But now he also realized that Ji Min came here today mainly for Lu Ran.

He immediately said: "There is a dandelion field over there, which is also a place that Young Master Shen often went to when he was a child. Do you want to go and have a look now?"

"Go." Ji Min said.

The housekeeper was about to lead the two people over, but he thought of something and stopped.

Turning his head, he reminded him implicitly: "It has just rained a little recently, and the road conditions in the fields will be worse."

Hearing this, Ji Min understood.

He nodded and said to Lu Ran: "Then you go by yourself, be careful on the road."

"Well..." Lu Ran hesitated for a while, and said, "Then I'll be back soon."

When visiting Gu's house, out of respect for Mr. Gu, Ji Min only brought an assistant and a bodyguard.

He asked the bodyguard to follow Lu Ran.

Watching Lu Ran leave the archery hall, Ji Min lost interest in staying in the venue.

He controlled the wheelchair remotely and retreated to the rest area on the side.

After a while, Gu Zhi came.

He leaned forward and shouted, "Hey, there are quite a lot of people here."

Seeing him, Shen Xingyu respectfully called him, "Uncle."

Shen Xingzhuo was reluctant, but he called him anyway.

Ji Min didn't like Gu Zhi very much at the moment, so he ignored him.

Gu Zhi didn't mind, but looked around and asked, "Where's Ranran?"

As soon as he said this, Shen Xingyu and Shen Xingzhuo answered at the same time.

But the answers were very different.

Shen Xingyu subconsciously mentioned Lu Ran's whereabouts: "He went to the dandelion field."

Shen Xingzhuo said, "He's with Gu Ningqi."

After saying that, both of them paused and looked at each other, as if they both felt that they were wrong.

Ji Min on the side laughed with an ambiguous meaning.

There was mockery in his laughter.

Gu Zhi scratched his head and added with a smile: "I always forget. Now I have to call Xiao Ran."

"Why are you asking about him?" Ji Min raised his eyes and looked at him.

Hearing Ji Min's words.

Shen Xingyu looked over and said:

"My uncle is Lu Ran's elder, and the Gu family has an engagement with the Shen family. It is only natural to ask."

"I just don't know what President Ji thinks about the engagement we talked about last time?"

Gu Zhi didn't understand why there was such a sultry smell between the two of them.

But when he heard the word "engagement", Gu Zhi became alert and asked: "Engagement? What engagement? Do the Ji family and the Shen family have an engagement?"

Shen Xingyu laughed coldly: "Then you have to ask why President Ji always keeps pestering my brother."

Gu Zhi's brain turned slowly for a while, and finally caught up with the two people's thoughts.

"Oh! Are you talking about him and Lu Ran?"

"Well, what kind of engagement do they need?"

Gu Zhi began to frown.

Seeing his expression, Ji Min immediately wanted to stop him.

But it was too late.

Gu Zhi said with envy:

"It's already a done deal between them. Everyone in the Ji family knows that Lu Ran praised him in public!"

Ji Min: "..."

Shen Xingyu and Shen Xingzhuo were both stunned when they heard what Gu Zhi said.

Only Gu Zhi, the fool, didn't notice the stagnant atmosphere.

He bumped into Ji Min's shoulder and teased: "After Xiao Ran's promotion, everyone knows that Ji Zong is bigger than the abalone mushroom."

Ji Min: "..."

He finally believed that there might really be karma in the world.

"Ji, you, you, you actually!" Shen Xingzhuo jumped up.

Shen Xingyu's face was even colder, and he was even a little dazed because of the news.

His narrow eyes widened.

Although he had seen that Ji Min was interested in Lu Ran, he had always believed in Ji Min's character. He

had always thought that Ji Min would mostly protect Lu Ran, otherwise he would not have deliberately used the "engagement" to deliberately stab Ji Min last time.

But he did not expect...

King abalone mushroom?

The rice was cooked?

Shen Xingyu completely gave up his respect for Ji Min as a senior. He

gritted his teeth and said, "Ji Min, he is only 19 years old!"

Ji Min silently held his forehead.

This pot is too solid.

But he still did nothing.

Ji Min subconsciously wanted to explain.

But when he heard Shen Xingyu's words, he blurted out: "Nineteen years old is also an adult."

Shen Xingyu was shocked.

Shen Xingzhuo directly scolded: "Can you be more shameless?"

I swear to God, Ji Min really did nothing: "..."

On the other side, the housekeeper led Lu Ran to the dandelion field.

Further ahead is a muddy dirt road.

The dandelion field in the distance is full of yellow and pink flowers. Although they have not turned into fluff balls yet, they are also very beautiful.

The housekeeper continued to lead Lu Ran forward.

Lu Ran looked into the distance, then looked at his shoes, and said, "I won't go over there. I'll just stand here and watch."

He suddenly felt that it was meaningless.

He didn't remember anything here.

Ji Min couldn't accompany him to see it.

Lu Ran stood there for a while and was ready to leave.

Halfway through, the butler received a call and said to Lu Ran apologetically, "Mr. Gu needs someone."

Lu Ran nodded, "It's okay. I'll walk back by myself."

The butler looked at the bodyguard behind him and left with peace of mind.

Before leaving, he instructed, "If you get lost, find a surveillance camera and talk to it."

"Okay."

Lu Ran responded without saying anything more.

He was totally not interested in everything like when he was with Ji Min.

The housekeeper left from another road.

When Lu Ran came back along the same route, he unexpectedly saw two familiar faces.

They were Shen Xingran and Gu Ningqi, who were standing in a pavilion.

But Lu Ran looked at his shoes again.

He didn't really want to fight today.

So he changed his route.

On the other side, Shen Xingran didn't notice Lu Ran passing by.

He was holding Gu Ningqi's hand and begging: "Brother Ningqi, can't you help the Shen family?"

"Ranran, it's because the Gu family knows about the Shen's situation that I can't help. With such a big financial gap, how can I convince my dad?" Gu Ningqi said helplessly.

Shen Xingran shook off Gu Ningqi's hand: "If you Gu family are unwilling to help, then what's the point of talking about marriage?"

"Marriage? Then what does your father's connection with the Lino family mean?" Gu Ningqi questioned.

"But...it has nothing to do with me?"

The two voices slowly faded away.

Lu Ran frowned and thought for a while. It seemed that Shen's family really had some big problems, as Shen Xingran came to ask Gu Ningqi for help.

But here comes the problem.

Even if it was a loophole left by Mr. Shen, it couldn't have been filled for more than ten years, right?

Nothing serious happened to the Shen family.

How could there be such a big financial loophole?

Lu Ran walked around.

When he was about to return to the archery hall, he was stopped by someone.

"Lu Ran!"

Lu Ran turned around and found that it was Gu Ningqi, the idiot, again.

He and Shen Xingran were no longer quarreling as before, and were sitting together intimately drinking coffee.

"Is there something wrong?" Lu Ran asked.

Gu Ningqi smiled and said, "Nothing, I just saw you coming to my house, and as the host, I just wanted to say hello."

Gu Ningqi had been in a slump for a long time since he made a fool of himself at the banquet last time.

Whenever he heard that Lu Ran and Ji Min were there, he would take the initiative to avoid them.

Now, probably in his own territory, he was a lot braver.

Glancing behind Lu Ran, he saw only one bodyguard who sneered,

"Didn't you say Ji Min would come with you? Why didn't he follow?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the cobblestone road under Lu Ran's feet and suddenly realized, "Is it because it's inconvenient to sit in a wheelchair?"

Lu Ran glanced at him and said in surprise, "Can enoki mushrooms speak now?"

As soon as the three words "enoki mushrooms" came out, Gu Ningqi's face turned red: "You!"

Lu Ran didn't really want to join in, so he made a sarcastic remark and continued to walk towards the archery hall.

But this is the other half of the garden.

Not far away are fields planted with vegetables, and between them and the archery hall, there is a high wall that needs to be bypassed.

Lu Ran was thinking about which direction to go.

Gu Ningqi walked up to him, looked at him and said, "How was it, did you successfully meet my grandpa today?" Lu Ran

raised his eyebrows.

Gu Ningqi smiled immediately: "Who do you think invited the people in this yard today? Knowing that you were coming today, how could I be worthy of you if I didn't use some tricks?"

Lu Ran frowned slightly.

No wonder Grandpa Gu didn't show up today.

"This is just the beginning." Gu Ningqi smiled, "Just wait and see."

"Brother Ningqi, what did you say to him?"

Shen Xingran came over with coffee.

Shen Xingran was in a bad mood these two days.

The last time he met the Lino family, he was tricked by Lu Ran.

Later, Shen Hongyuan specially sent him out in order to invite Lino's family back to the Shen family.

This was the first time that Shen Xingran felt that he had become a marginal person in the Shen family.

He knew what Shen Hongyuan cared about most, so today he came to beg Gu Ningqi for the Shen family's affairs.

But when he walked over, what did Shen Xingran see?

What kind of shoes were Lu Ran wearing?

Wasn't that a new limited edition signed model from N? Was it a knockoff?

Shen Xingran took another careful look, trying to find any traces of inferior imitation on it.

But unfortunately, he didn't find any.

Shen Xingran has seen a lot of good things.

He thought he wouldn't be so defeated by a pair of shoes.

At this moment, for some reason, it was more sadness than jealousy.

Now he has become a marginalized person in the Shen family. He

can only rely on begging Gu Ningqi to try to restore his former status.

But what about Lu Ran?

He is stepping on shoes that he can't get.

He seems to have slowly turned back into the young master of the Shen family.

It seems...

fate has returned to the right track in an instant, and he should have been like this.

Shen Xingran couldn't help but guess who bought him this pair of shoes.

Shen Xingzhuo, Shen Xingyu, or Shen Hongyuan?

Or maybe, without his knowledge, Mrs. Shen was also secretly buying things for Lu Ran?

Shen Xingran looked hard at the pair of shoes on Lu Ran's feet.

Trying to regain the sense of superiority he had always had in front of Lu Ran.

Finally, he found a clue.

This pair of shoes is authentic and indeed very valuable.

But Lu Ran was obviously very careful when wearing them.

The white suede upper was spotless, and not even a speck of mud splashed on it as he walked all the way through the Gu family's garden.

He was too careful, so careful...

as if he had only worn this pair of good shoes in his life.

"The shoes are good." Shen Xingran smiled.

He glanced at Lu Ran and said meaningfully: "You should take good care of them."

As he said that, he took Gu Ningqi's hand and turned to leave.

But the moment he turned around, the coffee cup in his hand tilted.

As luck would have it, the brown liquid splashed all over Lu Ran's shoes.

Lu Ran took a step back in time, but the white uppers were still stained.

The dark brown coffee flowed down the toe of the shoe.

And seeped into the suede leather of the shoes, which was extremely ugly.

"Oh, I was careless." Shen Xingran smiled, "Brother, don't mind it."

He smiled and took Gu Ningqi's arm and continued to move forward.

Only in the Gu family would he be so brave.

The Gu family is Gu Ningqi's territory, and today Lu Ran came here to ask Grandpa Gu something.

So Lu Ran will definitely not do too much.

Definitely not...

Suddenly, Shen Xingran felt a pain on his scalp.

"Ah!" He screamed, and subconsciously turned his head, but found that his hair was tightly grabbed.

Lu Ran's gloomy voice rang behind him: "Hey, you dirty my shoes."

Shen Xingran panicked: "It's just a pair of shoes, you..."

But Lu Ran didn't give him a chance to speak, grabbed his hair and walked to the field beside.

The force on the back of the head was very heavy.

Shen Xingran tried hard to keep his balance, and was surprised by Lu Ran's reaction.

He had experienced Lu Ran going crazy and playing tricks on people before.

But this time was completely different.

Lu Ran used to be very calm, whether before or when he went crazy.

It was because he was too calm that the things he did later were even more unexpected.

Sometimes Shen Xingran even felt that at that time, Lu Ran was not angry at all, nor did he have any anger or sadness.

He just wanted to find an excuse to make trouble for them.

But now, Shen Xingran felt the force on his scalp.

And... he even heard Lu Ran's breathing become heavy because of anger.

"You, what on earth do you want to do!" Shen Xingran's voice trembled a little.

Gu Ningqi also hurriedly followed: "Lu Ran! This is our Gu family!"

Lu Ran's footsteps finally stopped.

The shoes on his feet were also stained with mud in the field and became completely dirty.

"Your Gu family? That's perfect, let you try it first." Lu Ran's voice was very deep.

"Try what?" Gu Ningqi said blankly.

His gaze slowly shifted and he saw where Lu Ran stopped.

He stopped at the edge of a field.

There was a pile of something that looked like a mixture of rotten grass and mud.

Gu Ningqi didn't often come to the garden and didn't understand what it was.

He just had a bad feeling.

Because that thing was emitting an unspeakable smell and was smoking as if it was fermenting.

The next second, Gu Ningqi felt like he was kicked.

He tried hard to stand firm, but was kicked hard again, and the whole person suddenly fell headfirst into the pile of unknown objects.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Ran kicked Shen Xingran into the dung pile again.

While kicking people fiercely, he said with a trembling voice like a child:

"You made my shoes dirty!" He

was almost crying.

After kicking, he was still not satisfied and looked around.

Finally, he saw a big white bucket in the field.

The bucket was half filled with brown turbid liquid.

There was also a long-handled iron ladle in it.

Lu Ran strode over, picked up the bucket, and splashed it on the dung pile!

Shen Xingran and Gu Ningqi were hit as soon as they pulled their heads out of the dung pile.

The two were completely stunned.

Even after Lu Ran finished, they still didn't know what they were splashed with.

Shen Xingran just wiped his face randomly.

After wiping, he looked blankly at the brown liquid on his hands that looked like coffee but more turbid.

Looking closely, he saw some red things, like some damaged chili pepper fragments.

Chili pepper?

He said blankly, "How can there be chili peppers?"
