Chapter 12 Treat

Shen Xingzhuo's face suddenly became ugly.

He always kept his word in the circle, and no one would doubt him, especially when it comes to money.

But Lu Ran did it anyway.

He got angry, looked at Lu Ran and asked, "What do you mean? Don't you believe me?"

Lu Ran laughed, and said in a ridiculous tone, "Think about what you have done, why should I believe you?"

Shen Xingzhuo choked.

Seeing that he didn't transfer the money smoothly, Lu Ran didn't care, put away his phone and went back to the counter.

Just then, a customer came, and Lu Ran stood behind the counter and took the order skillfully.

Shen Xingzhuo felt even more depressed.

This meant that Lu Ran not only didn't believe him, but also didn't take his words seriously at all.

Shen Xingzhuo gritted his teeth and walked straight to the counter.

"Give me your phone." He said.

Lu Ran blinked, not expecting this guy to be a sucker.

He quickly called up the payment code page.

Shen Xingzhuo quickly paid the salary.

"Okay, follow me now."

Lu Ran looked at the money that had been received and continued to stay behind the counter: "Okay, I'll talk to the boss later."

Shen Xingzhuo frowned: "Wait a minute? Are you kidding me?"

Another customer came in from the back.

Lu Ran waved his hand to let him move aside and said unhappily: "When employees in your Shen's company resign, they just leave without doing any work handover?"

Of course Lu Ran could leave directly.

But he didn't need to offend the owner of this store just to satisfy Shen Xingzhuo's whim.

Shen Xingzhuo choked for a long time, then sat aside with a sour face.

After Lu Ran talked to the boss, he continued to work until the evening.

Shen Xingzhuo had been sitting there.

He had a bad temper to begin with, and he was left out for a long time after paying. He was about to explode: "Are you leaving or not?"

Lu Ran was not in a hurry.

While packing his things, he looked up and asked Shen Xingzhuo: "Have you never been to your company?"

This sentence hit Shen Xingzhuo's sore spot.

Shen Xingzhuo shut up instantly.

As the two were talking, a voice came from outside the store: "Brother Zhuo!"

A young man in flamboyant clothes walked in, and it was obvious at a glance that he was Shen Xingzhuo's gang friend.

After the man came in, he walked straight to Shen Xingzhuo: "Brother, is it really you? I said it looked like you from outside."

Shen Xingzhuo was in a bad mood and didn't even raise his eyelids: "Get lost, I'm not in the mood."

The man didn't bother.

He looked up at Lu Ran behind the counter, then looked at Shen Xingzhuo, thinking he understood something, and whispered in Shen Xingzhuo's ear: "Brother, this is the illegitimate child that Ranran mentioned, right?"

Shen Xingzhuo was stunned.

He subconsciously wanted to explain, but he closed his mouth out of habit and didn't dismantle Shen Xingran's counter.

The man raised his eyebrows at Shen Xingzhuo: "Let me do this! I'm good at it!"

After that, the man walked to the counter and said to Lu Ran in a good voice: "You are Brother Zhuo's friend, right? We are just about to go play billiard, together?"

Shen Xingzhuo thought he was going to cause trouble, and was about to stop him, but he stopped when he saw this.

They went together, it was Shen Xingzhuo's home court.

It was better than staying here to be a waiter for a bunch of people.

Lu Ran stared at the man for a while.

Now he got double the salary and settled the salary for the past few days with the boss, he was in a good mood.

"Okay." Lu Ran agreed with a smile.

Several people drove to a club on the outskirts of the city.

The club is two twin buildings connected together, and only one building is open to the public.

When Lu Ran arrived at the private room, he saw many acquaintances from his previous life.

In fact, he knew all of Shen Xingzhuo's friends.

In his previous life, he had just returned to the Shen family and had been trying hard to integrate into the lives of the Shen family. Even though some of Shen Xingzhuo's friends had characteristics that made Lu Ran uncomfortable, he was still trying to accept them.

But because of his relationship with Shen Xingran, no matter how well he did, he would only be excluded.

Lu Ran also knew the person who invited him here today, named Chen Sheng.

In his previous life, this person had caused him a lot of trouble in order to please Shen Xingran and Shen Xingzhuo.

Lu Ran felt itchy and was waiting to take action against him.

But when several people in the private room saw Shen Xingzhuo come in, they took the lead and went over.

"Brother Zhuo, the Huangmao family's business is over, and he asked me to ask you if there is any way?" one of them said.

Lu Ran took a glass of water and drank it. When he heard Huangmao's name, his ears pricked up.

Shen Xingzhuo also had a headache when he heard this topic.

He said unhappily: "Doesn't he know who he offended? What can I do?"

The others agreed after hearing this.

Some sighed, while others were gloating.

Only Lu Ran didn't quite understand.

Who did Huangmao offend?

No wonder he posted a video on the Internet and caused such a big fuss.

Sure enough, someone is messing with this guy.

There was silence in the box for a while, and someone couldn't help gossiping: "It's strange, how can Huangmao know the one from the Ji family?"

The tone was not just gossip, but also a hidden curiosity and envy.

It seemed that knowing the man he was talking about was a matter of great honor.

Many people at the scene became excited when talking about this topic.

Chen Sheng lowered his voice mysteriously: "I met Huangmao on the day of the accident. I heard it was a simple accident."

"Accident? He was lucky." Someone sneered.

"Don't disbelieve me." Chen Sheng said, "You all know how Huangmao drives. He'll feel uncomfortable if he doesn't hit something."

"Why, he won't hit the Ji family's car this time?"

"He wouldn't dare to do that even if he was given eight hundred brave men!"

"Hey, listen to me!" Chen Sheng continued, "He said that he was just bumped into by that person."

Lu Ran was stunned when he heard it. He

slowly realized that the car accident he was talking about should be the one he encountered.

Some people didn't believe it: "No way? Just bumping into someone is enough to meddle in other people's business? Are the Ji family so kind?"

"Tsk!" Chen Sheng slapped his thigh in anger, "Have you forgotten what happened to that person's leg?"

After these words came out, the box was silent for a moment.

No one dared to gossip anymore.

Shen Xingzhuo didn't feel very comfortable listening to it.

Huang Mao was doing something for him that day, and what he did... He didn't want to face it for the time being, nor did he want to recall it.

Besides, Huang Mao's accident dealt a heavy blow to his studio.

"Okay, don't gather here, the pool table is empty."

Shen Xingzhuo said, and the few people who had gathered together slowly dispersed.

After Chen Sheng finished gossiping, he remembered the business again.

He looked at Lu Ran and asked meaningfully: "Oh, you are from the Shen family..."

"Don't." Lu Ran made a gesture to stop him, "I'm not from the Shen family, my last name is Lu, and I was hired by the second young master Shen."

He said this with confidence, Chen Sheng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly had some doubts in his heart.

Shen Xingzhuo was also stunned when he heard the words "not from the Shen family".

Chen Sheng looked at Shen Xingzhuo, then at Lu Ran, not sure whether these two had a good relationship or not.

Should he do this prank or not?

But then he thought, he had a good relationship with Shen Xingran, and Shen Xingzhuo always followed Shen Xingran's wishes.

It was always right to stand up for Shen Xingran.

"Oh, why are you being so distant? Since we're all brothers here."

Chen Sheng sat down next to Lu Ran, narrowed his eyes, "How about you treat us for dinner today, Brother Lu?"

This was a common method used by Chen Sheng and his friends.

Usually, illegitimate children like Lu Ran would try desperately to fit into their circle, and would bite the bullet even if they were short of money.

This method was considered "gentle" in their opinion.

Shen Xingzhuo sat on the sofa on the side, holding a wine glass in his hand.

He heard what Chen Sheng said, and knew what Chen Sheng was doing.

But he didn't speak out to stop him.

Shen Xingzhuo still remembered that Lu Ran had left him alone in the store for the whole day, and he was a little unhappy.

Shen Xingran made him angry, and she still knew to say something nice to make him happy.

He was going to wait for Lu Ran to ask him for help before he spoke.

Shen Xingzhuo glanced at Lu Ran out of the corner of his eye.

But he heard Lu Ran say, "Okay, you can eat whatever you want and order whatever you want to drink!"

He agreed very straightforwardly.

Chen Sheng was stunned.

He looked at Lu Ran a little suspiciously, waved to the waiter, "Then I won't be polite?"

He hesitantly ordered two bottles of wine.

The wine in the club is not priced at all.

There is no need for a price tag.

Chen Sheng was unsure of Shen Xingzhuo's attitude towards Lu Ran. Although he was a second-generation rich man, he was not stupid. He just ordered two bottles and didn't make a big fuss.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ran was very dissatisfied with his "cautious" behavior. He directly reached out and took the electronic menu and ordered more than ten bottles without even looking at it.

Chen Sheng watched and his mouth slowly opened.

After Lu Ran finished ordering, he patted him on the shoulder and said to Chen Sheng: "Call the other guys over and order some that you like."

Chen Sheng's eyes changed when he looked at him.

From the initial scrutiny and contempt, he directly flew to respect.

Shen Xingzhuo didn't know what they were doing.

Seeing that Lu Ran didn't ask for help, he held it in for a while, but couldn't hold it in anymore, and

deliberately said sarcastically: "Treat? Is your salary enough to buy a bottle of water?"

Lu Ran bit the cup and looked over innocently: "I'm treating, who said I'll pay?"

Shen Xingzhuo didn't understand.

Lu Ran smiled at him: "You brought me here, so of course you, the second young master Shen, will pay."

Lu Ran had been cheated in his previous life.

He had just returned to the Shen family and had no idea about the consumption level of Shen Xingzhuo and his group.

Chen Sheng asked him to treat, and he wanted to make everyone happy, so he agreed without thinking.

He even made up his mind to contribute all his surplus.

When he finally settled the bill, he found that all his money added together was not enough to cover the difference between the money Shen Xingzhuo spent on dinner. He

was ridiculed.

He was not that stupid this time.

Shen Xingzhuo almost laughed out of anger when he heard what Lu Ran said.

He was angry.

But in a corner of his heart, there was a little secret compliment.

He is quite smart and can be petty.

But Shen Xingzhuo has never been fooled like this before.

He was about to curse, but when he lowered his eyes, he met Lu Ran's.

The boy was drinking water from the cup.

When he looked up at him, there was still a trace of cunning in his eyes.

Because he was looking at him with his face raised, the drooping arc at the end of his eyes made him look cute and well-behaved.

Compared to the usual dark eyes, they looked much more pleasant.

Shen Xingzhuo's anger suddenly dissipated.

Chen Sheng came over and approached Lu Ran.

He sat on the sofa next to Lu Ran and reached out to hold Lu Ran's shoulders.

Shen Xingzhuo raised his eyelids and looked over, staring at Chen Sheng's hand.

Almost without thinking, he said something fierce: "Where are your hands? Don't move your hands or feet."
