Chapter 144 Extra if line (9)

The child threw himself towards the old man in front of him.

Shen Hanshan held the crutch and caught the child.

He habitually scolded sternly: "Why are you crying..."

But seeing the tears on the child's face, he couldn't help it and squatted down to hug the child. It

was the first time that Ji Min saw Ranran crying so hard.

It was not like the suppressed and aggrieved crying when he was in his arms.

The child seemed to have finally seen someone he could rely on, and he raised his face and cried loudly.

Ji Min said, even if Ranran didn't remember anything, he would still miss home.

He missed the grandfather who grew up with him, and missed the life he used to stay with his grandfather.

Because that was the only support since he was born.

Ranran cried for a long time, and his forehead, nose and chin were all red.

After crying, he became happy again.

He circled around people: "Grandpa, Ranran has been very good recently! Ranran has...learned to read!"

Holding hands, he listened to the child talk for a long time.

The child slowly calmed down, and Shen Hanshan and Ji Min sat together at the round table in the yard.

The child really missed his grandfather.

He didn't remember it completely, but he still remembered that he hadn't seen his grandfather for a long time.

Shen Hanshan asked Ji Min about Ranran's recent situation.

Ji Min did not hide it:

"I got caught in the rain that day, suffered from hypothermia, and had a fever. I don't remember many things. My name is Lu Ran now, and I am in an orphanage, not adopted by anyone."

Shen Hanshan sighed.

He looked down at the child on his lap.

The child was half kneeling and half standing on his knees.

Although Shen Hanshan felt distressed, he was used to being strict, and subconsciously said: "Standing or not, go sit down properly."

After saying that, Shen Hanshan immediately regretted it, fearing that he would scare his grandson.

The child looked up, but he was not afraid, and even a little brave.

The child said "Oh" and stood up slowly.

But he did not sit on the low stool beside him.

Instead, he ran to Ji Min's legs, and in the same posture, he lay on Ji Min's knees.

Ji Min smiled and simply took the child into his arms.

Shen Hanshan: "..."

Yi Yi and Shao looked at each other.

They both saw the difference in parenting concepts from each other's eyes.

But the child was tired of crying after all, and he nestled in Ji Min's arms and fell asleep soon.

Ji Min carried the child into the room, took off his shoes and put them on the bed.

Shen Hanshan followed and looked at the child's room.

The room was covered with thick velvet carpets, and various toys and books were scattered on the carpet.

It looked undisciplined, but inexplicably warm.

Shen Hanshan was silent for a while and said nothing.

Soon, the two returned to the courtyard. They

sat opposite each other.

The atmosphere was silent for a while, and finally Shen Hanshan broke the silence:

"Ranran is indebted to you. Our entire Shen family will remember you as a favor."

At this point, Shen Hanshan laughed at himself again.

The so-called Shen family now only has two people, Xiaosun and him.

"I just did it for Ranran, I don't need anyone to remember me as a favor." Ji Min said.

One of them is called Ranran, and the other is called Ranran, and they each say their own things.

Shen Hanshan did not delve into the issue, and only said: "Tomorrow, I will go to the Public Security Bureau to file a case, and then go to the welfare home to complete the formalities and take Ranran back."

Hearing this, Ji Min raised his head: "Grandpa Shen, you are too tired to grow up, it's good for Ranran to be raised with me."

Shen Hanshan raised his eyebrows.

He sat in the chair with his back close to his head, looking at the young man in front of him.

Ji Min looked at him fearlessly and said, "I treat Ranran as my younger brother and will raise him well."

Shen Hanshan did not respond, but mentioned something else:

"I just met your grandfather. Your grandfather is in good health. Although Ji is older than me, he looks much healthier than me."

Ji Min's fingers pinching the armrest of the chair tightened slightly.

Shen Hanshan continued, "Your Ji family is big and has a lot of things to do. It's not appropriate for Ranran to stay here alone."

Ji Min heard what his grandfather meant and did not give in at all: "The Shen family has a lot of things to do, otherwise Ranran would not be here with me."

Shen Hanshan was not angry.

The young master in front of him is very good, and the previous strategy of approaching him under the pretext of a project is also very good.

But after all, he is just a child.

Shen Hanshan had experienced so many ups and downs in the business world that he could see through Ji Min's thoughts at a glance.

Looking at the young man in front of him, he smiled and said, "Before I came, I heard that someone in the Ji family wanted to push Ranran into the water, and you drove them out."

Ji Min lowered his eyes and said nothing.

"You drove one person out, do you dare to say there won't be a second one?"

Shen Hanshan drank a sip of tea, and his eyes were no longer obsessed with the past. He had experienced his grandson's disappearance, his son's imprisonment, and his own great disaster.

His eyes had become much calmer.

He said, "The Shen family is not as good as the Ji family in all aspects, but at least it is quiet now."

Ji Min didn't let go.

Shen Hanshan said again, "This time you want to take Ranran home, you still need to ask for your grandfather's consent, right?"

This sentence really hit Ji Min's soft spot.

Previously, Grandpa Ji came to see Ranran once.

Ji Min was very nervous at that time.

He was afraid that Grandpa would value Ranran's talent and cultivate her as a tool for the Ji family.

That day, Grandpa Ji left and Ji Min was very unhappy.

This unhappiness is not only because of the father that grandpa mentioned.

It is also because Ji Min feels deeply frustrated.

Now, he still can't disobey grandpa's orders.

Shen Hanshan is very grateful to Ji Min.

He also admires this young man.

He didn't come here to poke people's hearts, but sighed and said:

"I heard from the doctor that before you came to the Shen family, the hospital checked my files and confirmed my physical condition."

"You mean, my body can still be saved, and I can still recover, so you are willing to come to the Shen family."

Ji Min did not refute.

Shen Hanshan said again:

"With the ability of the Ji family, it would be easy to handle the little things in our family. But you revealed the matter to me and let me handle it myself. Isn't it just to see my ability and attitude?"

"Child, don't test me anymore." Shen Hanshan looked at Ji Min, "Don't worry, I'm different from your grandpa."

This sentence made Ji Min couldn't help but close his eyes.

"Grandpa Shen."

Ji Min's voice was a little hoarse, and he begged in a low voice, "You also saw that I was not happy. Can you not let Ranran be like me..."

Shen Hanshan sighed lightly.

He really wanted to train the child to be an extremely outstanding heir.

In order to be happy, the child also worked hard to learn things.

Shen Hanshan has been very anxious in recent days because of his age and his unpromising son.

But the anxiety did not make things better.

Instead, it brought the Shen family to the point of near destruction.

That day, when Ranran woke up, Grandpa Shen was gone.

The child rubbed his eyes and asked, "Where is Grandpa?"

Ji Min touched his head and said, "Grandpa went back first."

The child was immediately disappointed.

Ji Min and Ranran had a short vacation together.

He took the children to the zoo, went to the sea, and played surfing.

Ranran had never played such exciting things before, and he was very happy.

The short vacation lasted only one day.

Ji Min did not take Ranran out.

Sitting in Ranran's children's room, he put the child's recent clothes, toys, and fairy tale storybooks that he liked to read into the suitcase.

This should have been done by Butler Chen.

It was also the first time that Ji Min packed his things by himself, and it was a bumpy ride.

The child didn't know what he was going to do, but he accompanied him to pack. After packing

the suitcase,

Ji Min filled Ranran's backpack with snacks and put it on the child's back.

The child tilted his head and asked, "Brother, are we going out?"

Ji Min smiled and said nothing.

He put the children's watch he bought on the child's wrist.

He told the child, "Ranran, you can press this button to call your brother."

The child looked down at the watch, then at the child in front of him, but still didn't understand.

"Ranran, try it." Ji Min said.

The child pressed the button obediently, and Ji Min's phone rang.

Ranran had called his brother before, so it was not unusual.

He just said in confusion: "But Ranran can ask uncle to help me beat the dog."

"When uncle is not around, Ranran can beat the dog by himself." The young man lowered his head and said.

His voice was a little low.

Holding the child's hand, he walked out of the room.

But when he reached the door, Ji Min suddenly squatted down and hugged the child.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Ranran asked.

Ji Min's reluctance suddenly surged.

Now in this huge house, no one will ask if he is scared or sad.

"Ranran..." The young man asked in a low voice, "Will Ranran remember brother now? Will he always remember me?"

"Of course!" The child looked up and said, "Brother is Ranran's favorite big brother!"

Ji Min touched the child's hair.

Finally, he stood up, carried the suitcase, took the child out of the door, and walked out of the yard.

The Shen family's car was parked outside.

Seeing them coming out, Shen Hanshan opened the door and walked out with a cane.

Seeing the grandfather, the child's eyes lit up, and he let go of Ji Min's hand and ran over:

"Grandpa! Grandpa, are you going out to play with us today?"

Ji Min handed the suitcase in his hand to the driver of the Shen family.

Shen Hanshan touched the top of the child's head and looked at the young man beside him.

He said to the child: "Ranran, say goodbye to your brother."

The child was confused again.

First he corrected Grandpa Shen: "Grandpa, my name is Ranran."

Then he asked in confusion: "Why do you have to say goodbye?"

Grandpa Shen said softly: "Grandpa will take you home."

The child still doesn't understand the connection between going home and saying goodbye.

It seems that going home means being with his brother?

Ranran looked at Ji Min and waved slowly: "Brother, goodbye?"

Ji Min smiled lightly, and his smile was ugly.

Master Shen nodded and took the child into the car.

After getting in the car, they saw Ji Min still standing there.

The child reacted and asked: "Brother won't go with us?"

Master Shen sighed and said: "Brother wants to stay at home."

Seeing the car door closing and the car about to start, the child suddenly slapped the window anxiously and shouted:

"Brother is still downstairs! Brother was left behind!"

As the child spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.

Ranran had always been very well-behaved, but now he suddenly made a scene, and everyone was startled.

The driver stopped the car in a hurry.

Grandpa Shen had no choice but to open the car door.

The child jumped out.

He trotted all the way to Ji Min's arms.

At this time, he realized something, and asked with tears in his eyes, "Brother won't you go with us?"

Ji Min hugged the child, "Sorry, Ranran, brother can't go with you."

"Then I won't go either!" the child cried.

"But, doesn't Ranran want to go home with Grandpa?" Ji Min said.

The child looked at Ji Min, then turned his head to look at the grandpa beside the car, and for the first time he was in a dilemma: "But, but..."

He finally realized that this time was not going out to play, but a sad farewell.

"Ranran is going back to his own home with Grandpa." Ji Min said softly.

"What about brother?" The child suppressed his tears.

"It doesn't matter, brother will stay at his own home." The boy forced a smile.

He hurriedly said, "Brother will visit you on the weekend."

"When is the weekend?" The child's voice trembled, and tears fell one by one.

"Ranran is so stupid, brother taught you." Ji Min suppressed the pain in his throat.

"Then there are still five days... wuwuwa..."

The child finally couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into tears.

Ji Min couldn't help it either, and hugged the child, his eyes hurt and watery.

Master Shen looked at the big and small hugging each other with tears.

No matter how strong Ji Min was, he was just a child of ten years old.

Finally, Ranran was tired of crying and was carried into the car.

Ji Min stood there, watching the car, carrying the few warmth in his life, gradually go away.

Ranran returned to the Shen family and was not used to it at first.

Until he found that he could really call Ji Min and see Ji Min on weekends, he slowly got used to it.

The child was lost and found again, and there were many procedures to go through .

Grandpa Shen wanted to change Ranran's name.

But the child had no memory of the past, only that his current name was "Lu Ran".

I thought Ji Min had hired a tutor for him when he lived there.

Ranran carefully wrote his full name on every homework.

Grandpa Shen took great effort to change the name... at least the surname.

But the child was surprisingly stubborn about this matter.

It was as if he wanted to remember his name in the same way as the time when he was lost, so he refused to change it no matter what was said.

After Ranran officially entered school, things became awkward.

Every time he handed in his homework, his name was still Lu Ran.

The teacher and Grandpa Shen took turns to challenge him, and the child agreed on the surface, but did whatever they wanted behind the scenes.

The most outrageous time was when he changed his name to "Shen Xing Lu Ran".

It was full of stubbornness and perfunctory.

Grandpa Shen was furious at first.

But after Shen Hongyuan's verdict, Grandpa Shen went to prison and was silent for several days after he came back.

From then on, Grandpa Shen felt that the surname "Shen" didn't seem to be important.

Why bother to get angry with the child.

Grandpa had met Dean Lu before, and it just so happened that his wife's surname was also Lu. So he named Ranran

Lu Ran.

Just like taking grandma's surname.

It's good to have a new name and put aside the bad things in the past.

It was Ranran, and he grew up as the young master of the Shen family with the name Lu Ran.

Fifteen.

In an alley near Y University.

Zhang Lin parked his sports car aside and followed the girl in front of him casually.

While following, he teased loudly: "Senior sister, why are you running? I can't catch up with you!"

The girl was a little scared, but still said politely: "Classmate, don't follow me anymore, I, I'm home ahead."

"Really? It's just right for me to go to your house to see!" Zhang Lin whistled.

But he didn't want to walk, so he turned back to the sports car and wanted to drive over.

Before he could even open the car door, his eyes went dark and a coat was thrown over his head.

"Who?!" Zhang Lin was startled.

Soon he couldn't even speak. The people outside punched him twice and kicked him into a stinky ditch beside him.

"Fuck, it stinks!"

"The end of rotten people."

Two voices came from outside, and the sound was not loud.

Zhang Lin heard the voices and roared: "Lu Ran! Fang Chen! Is it you two!"

"Idiot, if you harass our senior sister again, you will stay in there forever!"

Lu Ran kicked him, turned around and pulled Fang Chen away.

A few minutes later, the two stood in front of the sink in the public toilet, rubbing their clothes.

"It stinks, why is it so stinky!"

Fang Chen was about to collapse, "If I go home like this, my dad won't guess that I've done something bad, right?"

"Bullshit, we were clearly doing what was right."

Lu Ran was also trying to clean his trouser legs.

He sighed and reviewed, "It was a mistake. I'll stay away next time. It's my first time putting on a sack and I still don't have much experience."

"Is this a sack thing?" Fang Chen said speechlessly.

Originally, we gave Zhang Lin a lecture and were about to go back.

But halfway through, Lu Ran insisted that there was a cat by the ditch.

So we waded into the water again to save the cat.

As a result, when people got into the water and looked over, where was the cat?

It was clearly a white plastic bag!

"You'd better donate your eyes." Fang Chen said.

Lu Ran was also very embarrassed.

It just so happened that they didn't know where the water was flowing, and the water was very smelly. Now there was a stink on the clothes.

If Ji Min knew...

he would definitely laugh!

Fang Chen was still nervous because it was the first time he had done something bad since he was a child. He kept muttering in his mouth:

"You must not let it slip in front of my dad, and you must not let my dad know that I had a fight."

Lu Ran didn't think about it at all, and subconsciously said: "You are not allowed to tell Ji Min about what happened today."

After that, Fang Chen, who was rubbing his pants, stopped rubbing and turned his head to stare.

"What are you looking at me for?" Lu Ran said.

Fang Chen pondered over Lu Ran's words and shook his head:

"What you just said is interesting. Do you think anyone who wants to see Ji Min like you can see him?"

"Why did you specifically tell him that?" Fang Chen bumped into his shoulder.

Lu Ran avoided the teasing in Fang Chen's words and just sneered: "Maybe only ghosts can see what they want."

After that, the two of them worked hard to wash their pants.

There was no way, both of them were strict in their families.

This was the first time I did something bad since I grew up, and I really didn't dare to tell my parents.

But I had to go through the housekeeper when I got home.

I couldn't change my clothes, because if I did, my parents would think we were fooling around outside.

After washing it to the end, it still smelled.

The two could only buy a set of clean clothes, and then went to a laundry shop and paid extra money to have them cleaned.

Then they went home as if nothing had happened.

When Lu Ran returned home, he looked around the yard.

The yard had been decorated, as his grandfather's 76th birthday party would be held tomorrow.

When Lu Ran entered the living room, he saw his grandfather sitting on the sofa.

He walked over with a smile: "Grandpa, why haven't you slept yet?"

"Because of you, little brat." Shen Hanshan said.

"What did I do?" Lu Ran argued, "It's not even nine o'clock yet, I came back early, I can help you check the guest list tonight."

Shen Hanshan glanced at him, then looked at his hand, and asked:

"What's wrong with your hand?"

Lu Ran looked at his palm and knew he had made a mistake.

He had never washed clothes since he was a child. He rubbed his jeans and his palms were red and itchy.

Lu Ran was still a little afraid of his grandfather. He beat Zhang Lin again today, and he was really guilty.

He coughed and sold Fang Chen out unethically: "Fang Chen went into the pool to save a cat, and his pants got dirty and he didn't dare to change them. I helped him wash them!"

Unexpectedly, the same scene happened at Fang's house now.

Shen Hanshan looked at his hand and made sure it was fine.

He didn't care about the kid's nonsense.

This kid has been spoiled by Ji Min.

He is fearless, but he is good at pretending, and he is so cunning.

Shen Hanshan turns a blind eye most of the time.

But he is still strict when he needs to be strict.

After all, he is grown up, and he always has to make plans for his children.

"Come and take a look at the guest list." Grandpa waved.

Lu Ran went over and read down the list.

He knew most of the people, but some were used to seeing them and some were not.

After looking for a while, he was a little distracted and searched for the word "Ji" in the row of surnames.

Now the Shen family and the Ji family are close, and many people have been invited.

Lu Ran looked through several rows, but still couldn't find the name he was looking for, so his grandfather handed him another piece of paper:

"Look at this."

Lu Ran laughed dryly, came back to his senses and slowly recognized the people.

The birthday banquet began at noon the next day.

These Shen Hanshans gave up some of the family's business philosophy, and the company continued to expand outward, so the Shen family developed quite well.

There were many people who came to celebrate the birthday this time.

Lu Ran and the housekeeper stood at the door to welcome the guests.

His manners were decent, polite and enthusiastic, which made the elders who came and went praise him

endlessly. It also made people unable to imagine what it looked like to kick someone into a stinky ditch last night.

The Zhang family also came.

Now the business relationship between the Zhang family and the Shen family is quite close.

As soon as Mrs. Zhang came, she took Lu Ran to chat.

Zhang Lin's face was still a little swollen. He looked at Lu Ran, the culprit, but dared not speak.

Now everyone says that Lu Ran is the most untouchable person in the circle.

Now if you dare to say anything bad about Lu Ran,

his mother will turn around and slap you.

But Zhang Lin couldn't help it and glared at Lu Ran when he entered.

Lu Ran responded to Mrs. Zhang's enthusiasm tactfully.

At the same time, in a place where Mrs. Zhang and her guests couldn't see, he made a stupid mouth shape to Zhang Lin and raised his middle finger.

Zhang Lin was so angry that his head was smoking.

Outside, Ji Min just stepped into the yard and saw this scene.

The young man at the door was very well-behaved on the one hand, and cursed mercilessly with his hands on the other. He cursed with

great joy.

Seeing the man, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.

The person with the middle finger raised seemed to be caught in the corner of his eye.

He quickly withdrew his finger like a child caught doing something bad.
