Chapter 127: Frustration

Ji Min was startled.

The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Da Huang didn't understand what the two were laughing at, so he yawned and fell asleep beside him.

"Do you have time tomorrow?" Ji Min asked.

"No." Lu Ran refused mercilessly.

"No?"

The man raised his eyebrows, "You didn't have time because you were in the laboratory some time ago, but you still don't have time now?"

Lu Ran laughed at him, "You asked me if I had time, and I answered truthfully, why are you still unhappy?"

Ji Min was so angry that he knocked him on the forehead.

At night.

The lights in the bedroom went out.

Lu Ran slept heartlessly in the air-conditioned quilt, and his tiny snoring was about to start.

The air conditioner in the bedroom was not turned on very low. He felt too hot and kicked the thin quilt into a mess with his legs. He

still felt hot after kicking it, so he leaned against the man next to him who had a slightly lower body temperature.

His sleeping posture was not very good, with his legs directly on the man.

Ji Min reached out and pulled the man into his arms, but there was no sleepiness in his dark eyes.

Recently, he has been thinking about the psychological self-portrait that the psychotherapist showed him.

Of course, there are also some things about the Shen family.

The background of the Ji family is different from that of the Shen family.

But Ji Min is also a businessman, and there are many troubles in his family.

Sometimes, he can easily guess what Shen Hongyuan or Shen Xingyu are thinking.

Shen Hongyuan tampered with the will and seized the inheritance that originally belonged to Lu Ran. More than

ten years later, Lu Ran was found.

He is like a time bomb to the Shen family.

What if he is used by the rival family, or Lu Ran notices something and chooses to expose it to the media.

This will cause great turmoil within the Shen family.

Therefore, even if Shen Hongyuan does not like his son Lu Ran, he wants Lu Ran to stay in the Shen family.

In other words, stay within the control of the Shen family.

When Shen Xingyu took over the Shen family, the matter was already done, and he was more inclined to safeguard the interests of the Shen family itself.

However, even apart from family affection, Shen Xingyu himself would not take too extreme actions.

Because there are too many sequelae of extreme behavior, it would be a huge scandal if it was accidentally exposed.

Shen Xingyu should be more inclined to let Lu Ran enter the Shen family, increase the ties between Lu Ran and the Shen family, and preferably become a community of interests.

This is also the thinking of normal people.

Unfortunately, when Shen Xingyu came back, the situation had been turned into a mess by the Shen family.

Ji Min could still understand Shen Xingyu's behavior.

But what about Shen Hongyuan?

Ji Min always felt that Shen Hongyuan had a deep fear of his son Lu Ran.

He wished that his little son would disappear.

Ji Min couldn't help but think of Lu Ran's car accident.

He lowered his head to look at the sleeping person in his arms, and hugged the person a little tighter.

But someone obviously didn't appreciate it, and because he felt hot, he directly pushed him away.

He leaned his body and arched it far away.

Ji Min laughed, and then continued to think.

He couldn't help but have some guesses.

If Lu Ran hadn't met him...

If Shen Hongyuan really planned the car accident, Lu Ran would have fallen completely into the hands of the Shen family.

Who would help him?

Mrs. Shen only had Shen Xingran in her eyes.

Shen Xingzhuo was not responsible at all.

Even if Shen Xingyu would be heartbroken, he would still choose to protect the Shen family since the matter was done.

The self-portrait appeared in front of Ji Min again.

The little man was trapped in a square bed, with dense black lines on his body, representing pain.

"If a person is trapped in a hospital for ten years, he would not want to go back to that kind of ghost place..."

The boy's vague words echoed in Ji Min's mind.

It made his heart palpitate for a moment.

It is impossible for Lu Ran to be locked up in a hospital for ten years now.

He would not be pushed into a freezing cold pool either.

But, what if...

Ji Min had a very outrageous guess in his mind.

He immediately overturned it because it was so outrageous, and couldn't help laughing.

But this almost absurd guess lingered in his mind.

Ji Min suddenly remembered that after the car accident, Lu Ran woke up in the hospital.

The boy raised his head from the hospital bed and looked at him with his almost dead black eyes. He

asked: "Ji Min, are you real?"

"But how do I know that you are not my imagination?"

Ji Min sat up from the bed.

He stretched out his arm and touched the wrist of the boy beside him.

The boy's warm body temperature, along with the beating of the blood vessels in his wrist, was transmitted to Ji Min's palm.

But it did not completely dissipate the panic in his heart.

Ji Min reached out and hugged Lu Ran into his arms.

The sleeping man was a little annoyed and reached out to push him.

But Ji Min didn't have time to care about these.

He kissed the blood vessels on the boy's neck with trembling lips, feeling the vibrant beating under the skin.

He reached out to hold the boy's fingers again.

But Lu Ran's whole arm was soft and soft in sleep, and he had no strength at all.

Ji Min tried hard to clasp his fingers in his palm and leaned over to kiss his lips.

Lu Ran was almost annoyed.

"I don't want to do it, I want to sleep." He said in a daze.

In such a situation in the past, the man would always be merciful and let him go.

But this time, Ji Min pinched his jaw a little forcefully and called his name: "Lu Ran, you are not allowed to sleep!"

Until he was picked up directly from the bed.

The feeling of weightlessness came, and Lu Ran had to wake up even if he was unconscious.

"What's wrong, was there an earthquake?" Lu Ran asked while rubbing his eyes.

He raised his eyes and met the man's bloodshot eyes.

Lu Ran was stunned.

"Does it hurt?" The man bent down and kissed his knuckles.

Lu Ran was still a little confused.

The man bent down and bit his wrist lightly, and asked again: "...Do you feel it?"

The light in the bedroom was dim and quiet.

Lu Ran leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window with his back, and the light from the window shone in, allowing him to clearly see the expression in the man's eyes.

"I..."

Lu Ran suddenly understood something.

He blinked and wanted to ask: "Did you go to see my psychiatrist?"

But as soon as his lips moved, Ji Min kissed him.

He kissed fiercely

. His heart was pounding violently.

His life had been very peaceful recently, but it was as fierce as if he had experienced a loss and recovery.

Lu Ran knew.

He didn't need to say anything.

The next day.

The weather was clear and the birds in the garden were too noisy.

Lu Ran turned over in the bed and covered his ears with the pillow.

After covering for a while, he sat up again and turned over to get out of bed.

Unfortunately, when his feet stepped on the ground, Lu Ran knelt down again.

Ji Min came in with a tray and happened to see this scene again.

Ji Min: "..."

He was silent for a moment, put down the plate and walked over.

"Not really." Ji Min couldn't help but said, "You ate last night this time."

Lu Ran stood up with the help of his arm.

Gritting his teeth, he said, "I'm not hungry this time. It's your credit. Are you satisfied?"

Ji Min: "..."

He touched his nose, knowing that he was in the wrong, helped the man up, and said softly, "You must be hungry, eat something to fill the stomach first."

Unexpectedly, Lu Ran pushed the plate away with a distorted face, and collapsed:

"I don't want to eat, my bladder is going to explode! Don't block the way to the toilet!"

Ji Min: "..."

He quickly put down the plate again, held back his laughter and carried the man into the bathroom.

After draining the water, Lu Ran finally came out alive.

He felt extremely hungry at this moment, and he climbed out holding on to the door frame.

The man who had just been driven out of the bathroom by him had already put the food plate on the small table on the balcony.

Hearing the noise, he looked at him and asked with a smile: "You're out, do you want me to help you?"

"Get out!" Lu Ran said angrily.

He walked firmly to the small sofa and sat down, just about to pick up his chopsticks.

When he looked up, he saw the dried water stains on the window glass, and his ears suddenly turned red.

"Let's go somewhere else, I won't eat here." Lu Ran said.

Ji Min also saw those marks, lowered his head and coughed lightly.

Lu Ran endured it and said, "You are not allowed to hire a housekeeper, clean it up yourself."

Ji Min raised his eyebrows and teased him:

"It was obviously two people who messed it up together, why do you want me to deal with it alone?"

Lu Ran: "...Have some shame."

The commotion last night was too serious, and the whole house was covered with traces.

Ji Min was not ready to call anyone over, so he went downstairs to get a rag.

He came back and squatted in front of the window, rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, and wiped it miserably.

There was a supervisor sitting next to him, who instructed:

"Wipe it again with a dry cloth, otherwise there will be watermarks, and it will be obvious that you have never worked."

Lu Ran was really tired last night.

Ji Min tortured him like crazy.

From fingertips to shoulders, he touched and even gnawed almost every joint in his body.

She asked him, "Does it hurt? Are you aware?"

She held him and ran around the room.

She rummaged through almost every corner of the bedroom, except the bed.

When Lu Ran woke up in the morning, he felt pain in all his joints.

It wasn't phantom pain, it was real pain this time.

It seems that even though he is young, he can't stop the tiring posture.

Seeing that he was really tired, Ji Min advised him: "Anyway, there is nothing to do, you can go to sleep for a while."

Lu Ran said with a sullen face: "You are fine, I am busy." "

Huh?" Ji Min was a little surprised, "What is it?"

"I want to meet someone."

Lu Ran yawned, and said this, he frowned, a little annoyed, "I was going to go out to meet him, now I can only let him come over."

Ji Min laughed at him: "Why can't you go out now?"

Lu Ran glanced at him silently: "You haven't thrown away the wheelchair yet, how about I sit in the wheelchair and you push me over?"

Ji Min was stunned, threw down the rag, stretched out his hand to pinch his face:

"What are you talking about, don't say it."

Ji Min didn't ask who Lu Ran invited.

I thought it was a classmate or something.

When the others arrived, they found out that the person Lu Ran invited was Shen Cheng.

Ji Min's eyebrows moved.

He was also investigating Shen Cheng during this period.

This man loves to gamble and owes a lot of gambling debts.

Most of the property embezzled by Shen Hongyuan went into this man's pocket.

Shen Cheng's father contributed a lot to Shen's. Now Shen Cheng has taken over his father's position and also holds a seat in the Shen's board of directors.

But Shen Cheng is so slick that he never interferes with the company's financial affairs.

This man is also lustful and has a lot of illegitimate children outside.

His married wife divorced him a long time ago.

When Ji Min saw Shen Cheng, he understood why Lu Ran was reluctant to meet him at home.

Probably because it was dirty.

Lu Ran sat down in the yard.

"Wow, the layout of this yard is nice. Hey... this Podocarpus is beautifully trimmed!"

After a lot of compliments, Shen Cheng sat down in front of Lu Ran.

He looked at Lu Ran and sighed: "Oh, uncle, I haven't seen you for a long time. I held you in my arms when you were a child."

Then he stood up and went to shake Ji Min's hand: "Mr. Ji! I've heard of you for a long time..."

Lu Ran yawned.

He said coldly: "Let's talk about business. Didn't you say you had news about my grandpa to tell me?"

"That's right."

Shen Cheng boasted: "You don't know how much your grandpa loves you. He holds you in his hands for fear of dropping you, and holds you in his mouth for fear of melting you!"

"He knew what your father was like, so he took you to his side to raise you. In the whole family, he is probably the one who loves you the most, otherwise why would he leave all his inheritance to you, right?"

Shen Cheng talked for a long time.

Lu Ran leaned back in his chair and listened to Shen Cheng's words.

Ji Min sat beside him, ignoring Shen Cheng, only holding Lu Ran's arm and kneading his joints gently.

Shen Cheng's eyes sparkled when he saw his gesture.

Lu Ran glanced at Shen Cheng and asked in a hopeful tone:

"Really? Can you tell me more about grandpa?"

His tone was like a child who was extremely eager for family affection.

Hearing this, Ji Min couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and look at him.

Lu Ran pinched the man's fingertips, signaling him not to interrupt.

He continued to ask Shen Cheng: "But I can't remember what grandpa looks like anymore, what you said is meaningless to me."

"Why is it meaningless!"

Shen Cheng said excitedly, "You can ask me, your uncle!"

After speaking, he seemed to realize that he was too proactive.

He laughed again, stood up from the table and strolled around the yard.

Lu Ran sat in the chair without moving.

"You're pretending very well." Ji Min laughed.

Lu Ran glanced at him.

He had a photo of Grandpa Shen in his hand. Compared to Shen Cheng's words, Lu Ran believed Grandpa Gu's description more.

People's desire for family affection is innate.

If it were another orphan who was not loved by his father and mother, he would probably be very moved to hear Shen Cheng's words.

But Lu Ran was not interested.

Shen Cheng came to the school to find him a few days ago and said something ambiguous.

Lu Ran guessed that Shen Hongyuan had collapsed, and Shen Cheng owed gambling debts and had nowhere to ask for money, so he targeted him.

Lu Ran actually had no interest in the catfight between Shen Cheng and Shen Hongyuan.

But thinking of... the inheritance from Mr. Shen, Lu Ran decided to get in touch with Shen Cheng.

Although he didn't know the purpose of this inheritance.

But it was still the only gift from an elder that Lu Ran had received.

For this "only" gift, he planned to investigate.

Looking at Shen Cheng's back, Lu Ran suddenly glanced at Ji Min, and evil thoughts gurgled in his eyes.

Noticing his gaze, Ji Min asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Ran moved towards him.

Ji Min laughed at him again: "Why are you whispering in your own home?"

Lu Ran glanced at him and said, "I hate this man."

Shen Cheng is not a serious person and he even molested Shen Xingran.

Even if Shen Xingran was adopted, she has stayed in the Shen family for so long.

It's too disgusting to attack the adopted nephew.

"Huh?" Ji Min also moved over.

"But I still want to get something out of him." Lu Ran said.

"Then you go back first, I will contact him." Ji Min said.

"No." Lu Ran was a little willful, "I want to ask myself."

"Then..."

Ji Min tried hard to figure out what Sheng meant, "When I get the information, I will give him some trouble?"

"No, that's too slow, I want to deal with him now."

Lu Ran said.

Ji Min was silent.

He thought of Lu Ran's method and asked cautiously, "What do you want to do?"

Lu Ran raised his hand and pointed to the empty cup on the table, and said, "Go get him some toilet water."

Ji Min: "..."

As the chairman of the Ji Group, it was the first time he heard such an absurd and righteous order.

He was a little bit unresponsive for a while, pointing at himself, and asked blankly:

"Ah? Me?"

"Yes." Lu Ran said with a smile, "I have been tortured by you like this, do you still want me to do it myself?"

Ji Min: "..."

Who are you messing with?
