Chapter 131 New Life

Shen Hongyuan always thought that he had done a perfect job.

But he was completely convicted by his own "trump card".

And Shen Cheng and the female nurse.

Until now, Shen Hongyuan has been resentful.

Why didn't he notice the existence of the female nurse at the time?

But the law did not give him the opportunity to resent.

Soon, he was sentenced to life imprisonment for multiple crimes.

Due to his physical condition, he was detained in a special nursing home.

Shen Hongyuan is now a middle-aged man with extremely inflated self-confidence and self-esteem.

Being bedridden and living without dignity is simply worse than death for him.

Not long after, the nursing staff in the nursing home found that he frequently waved his arm that could still move.

Sometimes he seemed to see something that ordinary people could not see, and he yelled in a vague voice: "Don't come over, don't come over!"

Then he cried and begged: "Father, I was wrong, father, I am your biological son..."

But in the next moment, his eyes widened and he said angrily: "Old thing! You should have died a long time ago."

Occasionally, when he was quiet, the nurse found that he was untying the straps on his body, as if he wanted to fall off the bed and die.

The most outrageous time was when the nurse found that he actually bit the outlet of the oxygen tube with his teeth.

When he was found, his lips had turned purple due to lack of oxygen.

But the nurse contacted the nursing home and still saved him dutifully.

Shen Hongyuan was destined to live in bed for a long time in his fear.

Mrs. Shen did not participate in Shen Hongyuan's criminal process.

But she used her own account to help Shen Hongyuan transfer Dabi's property, so she was sentenced to several years.

When she was taken away by the police, she was still a little dazed and evasive: "I don't know, I really don't know, I have never thought about these, he gave me money, I took it, who can go against money..."

But the judge ruled that as an adult, she should have basic judgment.

Shen Xingzhuo is still missing.

Shen Xingyu went to report the case, but there was no progress.

The money in his account has never been moved. I don't know if he is dead or wandering somewhere like an orphan.

After investigation, Shen Xingyu was released.

But he is leaving Shen's.

Before leaving, Shen Xingyu tried his best to clean up the shabby stall left by Shen Hongyuan in the company.

He knew that this company would belong to Lu Ran in the future.

It belonged to the only child in the world who remembered that he liked rabbits and lemon-flavored ice cream.

Shen Xingyu took on the debts left by Shen Hongyuan.

He sold all his private property and made up for it.

After making all the preparations for resignation and handover, Shen Xingyu sat in the office of Shen's CEO for a long time.

He looked at the bright window of the office and kept thinking.

I don't know if that child will sit in this office.

I heard that he will come to the company in the afternoon.

But Shen Xingyu knew very well that Lu Ran would not want to see him.

There was a knock on the office door.

"Come in." Shen Xingyu said as usual.

The door opened, and it was Shen Xingyu's assistant who came in.

The assistant stood in the door frame, with an expression of unspeakable sigh.

"Young Mr. Shen..." he said subconsciously.

Shen Xingyu smiled and said, "It's not Mr. Shen now."

He took out a document and said to the assistant, "I'll ask you to help me with one last thing."

The assistant took the document and saw that it was a share donation agreement.

Shen Xingyu donated the 5% of the shares he inherited from his grandfather to Lu Ran.

Shen Xingyu looked at the time.

Seeing that it was almost afternoon, he packed up his personal belongings and walked out of the office.

When the office door closed, Shen Xingyu felt very complicated.

It was as if his goal from childhood to adulthood was shattered in an instant.

He held the box and walked out under the gazes of all kinds.

Shen Xingyu suddenly felt a sense of relief.

It was as if the shackles on his body were broken at the same time as his goal was shattered.

He had never been so free in his life.

At this moment, there was a burst of exclamations and commotion at the staircase.

Shen Xingyu stopped subconsciously and frowned to check.

A man with a stubbled face and messy hair came up.

It was the company's financial director.

It was him who stamped the seal for Shen Hongyuan to withdraw public funds.

"Where is Shen Hongyuan? Where is Shen Hongyuan!"

He looked around and screamed, "Why! He forced me to do it, why should I be held responsible! Why am I guilty too!"

He ran around the floor like crazy.

Other employees screamed and moved away when they saw

him. Suddenly, he saw Shen Xingyu.

"All the Shen family members must die!"

"Pang!"

The box in Shen Xingyu's hand fell to the ground.

He bent down, covering his abdomen, and bright red blood gushed out from between his fingers.

Screams were heard all around.

Shen Xingyu grabbed the wrist of the finance officer tightly and did not let go.

The freedom just now disappeared like a dream.

Sometimes, once a person makes a choice, there is no turning back.

The sensational scandal of the Shen Group ended with a bloody incident.

Finally, the dust settled.

The summer vacation ended, and Lu Ran also went back to school.

There were no classes on the first day, and the school was in chaos.

When Ji Min went to pick up Lu Ran, he saw the boy sitting on a high platform.

It was just like the night when Lu Ran officially returned to the Shen family, the boy sat on the trash can and looked out quietly.

Now, Lu Ran had the same look.

It's just that he sat higher and the view in front of him was better.

He held four ice creams in his hands, two vanilla, one lemon, and one strawberry.

It was still a little hot, and the ice cream was melting a little bit.

The boy ate them equally, took a bite of each one, and silently finished all four cones.

Ji Min didn't rush him, but just stood on the steps and looked up.

The Shen family didn't fall so quickly, and he was also behind it.

Ji Min could occasionally see the shadow of Lu Ran's actions.

To a helpless teenager, the Shen family seemed like an unshakable giant.

But the Shen family was not like that.

Ji Min still remembered that Shen Xingran had initially spread rumors that Lu Ran was Madam Shen's illegitimate son.

At that time, even he misunderstood Lu Ran's identity.

Lu Ran heard even more rumors.

But he didn't explain a word, didn't explain his identity, and didn't tell about his misfortune.

He just fought back in a timely manner with some unimaginable means for others.

This "illegitimate son" of his became more and more eye-catching, and the rumors became more and more intense.

Until the rumor of "illegitimate child" reached Mrs. Shen's ears.

"Crack".

The first crack in this family appeared. Once

the crack appeared, it could not be repaired and continued to expand.

When he was visiting the Gu family, Lu Ran knew about the deficit within the Shen Group.

At that time, the Shen family and the Lino family were still competing.

But Lu Ran did not disclose the news to the media.

Ji Min knew at that time that he was waiting.

Waiting for Shen Xingran to make a move.

This knife, in the end, was cut down by Shen Xingran to be refreshing enough.

Sometimes, Ji Min thinks Lu Ran is stupid.

But it cannot be denied that the boy is very smart.

He knows the preferences of everyone in this family, and also understands the shortcomings of each of them.

He knew that Shen Hongyuan was arrogant, but in essence he had very low self-esteem. He

also knew that Mrs. Shen seemed to love Shen Xingran very much, but in fact she was selfish and vain.

Shen Xingzhuo was irresponsible, and Shen Xingyu seemed strong but was actually weak.

And there was Shen Xingran, who seemed the most dazzling and favored.

But she was the least secure one in the whole family.

Ji Min had thought that Lu Ran must have really cared about every family member.

Only then could he see all these and remember them in his heart.

But these things that were remembered because of love eventually became the sharpest sword.

The young man sitting on the high platform suddenly shuddered.

Ji Min was startled, and hurried over to ask: "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"

Lu Ran held his stomach and shivered:

"I ate four ice creams in one breath. It was too cold."

Ji Min: "..."

"I told you to be more careful." He reached out to knock the boy's forehead.

Lu Ran held his hand and jumped down from the platform.

He said: "Let's go to sweep the grave for the old man?"

Ji Min drove to the cemetery where Grandpa Shen was.

The grave of Grandpa Shen was relatively clean.

Lu Ran walked around the store next to the cemetery. He didn't buy flowers, but a lot of paper money.

He was also very honest. He didn't buy those fancy-looking gold ingots, but only bought stacks of yellow paper.

He brought it to the grandfather's grave and lit it with a lighter.

But the stack was too thick and it didn't light up.

Ji Min was speechless for a while and reminded him: "You have to light a few sheets first, and then put them down."

"Hey, go away and don't interrupt." Lu Ran pushed him aside.

Ji Min retreated to the side of the car, lit a cigarette, and watched the boy squatting in front of the grave to burn paper.

It's not Qingming Festival now, and there are not many people in the cemetery. It's very quiet.

The Shen family went bankrupt, but Shen's struggled to survive.

It's just that the company structure has been greatly reduced.

Lu Ran looked at the tombstone and said,

"I donated all my shares and company profits. You may think I am a spendthrift, but I think you wrote it in your will, so you should be mentally prepared..."

Ji Min looked at the boy burning paper and talking to the tombstone.

He thought about it and couldn't help looking at the housekeeper Chen beside him and asked, "You said, Mr. Shen..."

Ji Min didn't finish his words.

He had some slight impression of Mr. Shen and had heard Mr. Gu's memories.

If you think from the perspective of an old tyrant or a profit-seeking businessman.

Mr. Shen finally left his inheritance to Lu Ran, maybe just because he noticed that Lu Ran saw Shen Hongyuan's tampering.

Therefore, the so-called inheritance was probably just a means of bargaining between Shen Hanshan and Shen Hongyuan, father and son.

Rather than out of love for their grandson.

Ji Min paused, but in the end he did not say these speculations.

He believed that Lu Ran was so smart that he would not fail to think of this.

But at this time, the wind blew the voice of the young man again.

The young man squatting in front of the tall tombstone looked up and said, "Don't worry, old man. Although the company has donated it, I will come here every year to burn paper for you."

"Don't worry, there is enough money for paper, and you won't be left without money in the underworld..."

Ji Min suddenly curled his lips.

He was suddenly uncertain about his guess.

I'm afraid that when Mr. Shen took his grandson over at first, he simply wanted to create an heir who suited his own wishes.

But slowly, this old man who valued interests and had a strong desire for control gradually found other more precious things in the children's repeated calls of "Grandpa".

After returning from the cemetery, Lu Ran went to the prison on the weekend.

After Shen Hongyuan fell ill, he never went to see Shen Hongyuan.

Shen Xingyu was stabbed, but he did not go to see him.

Lu Ran did not come to the prison to see Mrs. Shen this time.

He came to see Shen Xingran. He

sat in the visiting room and waited for a while.

Behind the glass wall, Shen Xingran, wearing prison clothes, was led over by the prison guards.

Shen Xingran had shaved his head and looked a lot darker.

He sat down opposite Lu Ran.

The two sat opposite each other across the glass, and no one spoke for a while.

After a while, Shen Xingran said, "I didn't expect you to come."

Lu Ran smiled and said nothing.

Shen Xingran seemed to have been holding it in for a long time, and he said, "I saw it on the news that you donated Shen's."

Now saying this, Shen Xingran was still full of confusion and shock.

"Why would you donate it? That's the Shen family? Why are you willing to donate it?"

He muttered for a long time.

The prison police felt that he was not in a good state and looked at him for a while.

After muttering for a long time, Shen Xingran seemed to have figured something out and suddenly stopped.

Then, he laughed at himself:

"I thought you were the one who was entangled with the Shen family and could never let go. Who knew that you were much more sober than me and cut it off so cleanly..."

"What else? Wouldn't it be annoying to keep it?" Lu Ran said.

Shen Xingran looked up at Lu Ran.

He said, "It took me a long time to figure it out after I came in."

Lu Ran raised his eyebrows.

Shen Xingran asked him: "At Shen Xingyu's birthday party, you deliberately told Shen Xingyu that you wanted to join the Shen family, right? You knew I was eavesdropping on your conversation."

Lu Ran just smiled and didn't answer him.

Shen Xingran has always placed Lu Ran in the position of a competitor.

Now that there is nothing to compete for, he has some different feelings.

Shen Xingran lowered his head and said softly:

"Sometimes I wonder, if... is it possible... that you and I are the most like family."

Lu Ran raised his eyes and looked at Shen Xingran.

Shen Xingran said this very disgustingly, but he unexpectedly understood what Shen Xingran meant.

If "Shen Xingran" is a title.

Then, Lu Ran is the first one and Shen Xingran is the second one.

They are both orphans.

Shen Xingran is the one who took his name away.

At the same time, he is also a person who has no name of his own from beginning to end.

But Lu Ran still felt that it was very rare that Shen Xingran had the nerve to say this to him.

With an unspeakable desire to explore, Lu Ran sarcastically said, "Do you know how cold the pool water is in Beijing in winter?"

After he said this, Shen Xingran on the opposite side raised his head and asked blankly, "...what?"

There was no pretense on Shen Xingran's face, but pure ignorance.

Lu Ran was stunned, and suddenly burst into laughter.

He laughed very loudly, and laughed forward and backward.

Shen Xingran on the opposite side didn't understand what he was laughing at and was shocked.

Lu Ran didn't explain.

He just wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and suddenly realized that the pain lingering in his memory was already a thing of the past life.

Lu Ran walked out of the visiting room. The

sky in early autumn is particularly refreshing.

The blue sky seems extremely high and empty, hanging far above the head, with only a few white clouds floating.

Lu Ran strode forward, his steps were lighter than ever before.

A breeze blew, and the still lush trees on the roadside swayed their branches and leaves, making rustling sounds.

In front of him was a wide road, and what met the eye was a lush green.

Lu Ran hummed a song and walked to the prison gate.

The gate was half open, and Ji Min was chatting with the prison guard in front of the gate with his back to the gate.

The prison guard asked him in a Northeastern accent: "What are you doing here?"

Ji Min said: "Waiting for my target."

The prison guard's face immediately revealed a trace of emotion and sympathy.

"Waiting for a target..." he asked, "Is your target going to be released from prison, or..."

He made a "go in" gesture.

Ji Min was confused by his lack of options and did not answer immediately.

Lu Ran took two quick steps.

He jumped onto the man's back from behind and answered for the man with a smile: "His target, escaped from prison!"

The prison guard was startled.

When he saw that it was Lu Ran who had just entered, he breathed a sigh of relief: "I was scared to death, I really thought there was a prison escapee."

Several people laughed.

Ji Min staggered forward with Lu Ran on his back.

"Why are you in such a good mood?" he asked.

"Yes!" Lu Ran rubbed his neck from behind.

The parking place is still a little far away.

Lu Ran lay on Ji Min's back for a while, but finally felt it was too embarrassing and jumped down again.

"Where are you going to play?" Ji Min asked him.

"I want to eat ice cream." Lu Ran said.

Ji Min didn't ask any more questions, but took his hand and took him to find an ice cream shop.

There are very few such shops next to the prison, and they walked a long way before they found one.

Lu Ran walked in, frowned and looked at the several flavors on it.

"Hmm..." He pondered.

"What flavor do you two want?" asked the clerk.

"Wait a minute, I'll think of it right away." Lu Ran said.

Ji Min: "..."

Seeing that his brain was about to burst, Ji Min sighed.

"Don't think about it." He put his hand on the boy's head and ordered for him neatly, "Chocolate."

Lu Ran looked up at him.

He stopped arguing and said, "Then I want sea salt."

The two of them walked out holding a cone each.

Then they took a bite of the ice cream in each other's hand and exchanged them.

Lu Ran held the chocolate cone and ate it in two bites.

Ji Min slowly ate his sea salt cone.

The two passed by a university.

Lu Ran suddenly remembered and said, "Our school will be open in two days. Parents can visit."

Ji Min asked, "What date? I'll go there."

Lu Ran walked over and squinted at him,

"Huh? They said only parents can enter, so what kind of parent are you?"

Ji Min held his hand and said shamelessly,

"Anyone in the household registration book can be considered a parent."

Lu Ran couldn't help but climbed onto his shoulder and laughed out loud.
