Chapter 15 Paper Box
Lu Ran was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that there was someone there.
He was lifting the hem of his clothes with one hand and putting the other hand on the waist of his unbuttoned pants.
His belly button was exposed.
It looked strange no matter how he looked at
it. He quickly put his clothes down and looked up.
The person in the wheelchair was the one he saw behind the French window.
Now the man had taken off his coat, and inside was a blue-gray suit.
Unlike the previous observation outside the French window, now that the distance was closer, Lu Ran realized that he was wearing gloves.
Now the glove on one hand was taken off, and the thin and almost pale knuckles were gently placed on the black thin blanket.
His metacarpal bones were very broad, and even though his skin was pale, he did not look weak at all.
The temperament of this person made Lu Ran feel very strange and familiar.
The reason why he felt strange was that this rich man was completely different from the Shen family. He
was too quiet.
It was this quietness that made Lu Ran feel familiar.
It was like himself lying on the hospital bed.
Lu Ran squeezed the water on the clothes rack.
The person in the wheelchair said nothing, just stared at him with his dark eyes that could not see the light.
"Mr. Ji...?" Lu Ran thought for a moment and spoke first, "Thank you for giving me a ride last time."
"Well..." He looked at the urinal next to him again.
Out of his understanding of the "disabled people" and sympathy for the same disease in his previous life, he tried to ask: "Do you need my help?"
After asking this question, the man retracted his gaze. He
just said in a light voice: "Get out."
Lu Ran paused.
The content of this statement is quite rude, as if he is chasing people away.
But from the tone, it seems that it is just a simple discussion, dull as hell.
Lu Ran looked at the mess on his coat and pants, and shook his head firmly: "No."
Ji Min looked over again.
Lu Ran pointed to the row of cubicles: "Isn't this a public toilet? If you want to go to the toilet, go to the toilet, wash your hands, or just stay in a cubicle if you want to daydream. I'll just stay by the sink, and it won't bother you. Why do you want me to go out?"
The man's eyebrows moved, and he really didn't say anything else.
From the looks of it, it doesn't seem like he doesn't care, he's just too lazy to speak.
Lu Ran ignored him and ran to the counter to get a towel.
There are many compartments in the counter, and Lu Ran took a look at them one by one.
One of the grids was fuller, and Lu Ran opened the drawer quickly.
With a "bang", two boxes of things flew out.
Lu Ran hurriedly caught them.
When he picked them up, he saw two small square paper boxes with exquisite packaging.
There was no printing on the paper boxes, and Lu Ran didn't understand what they were, so he studied them for a while.
He only found the words XL printed in the corner.
"The towel is in the grid on the second layer." A voice behind him suddenly reminded him.
"Oh." Lu Ran responded and put the box back into the drawer.
He opened the lower layer and saw a white disposable towel.
"Thank you." He said.
Lu Ran took the towel and went back to the sink.
The person sitting in the wheelchair took off both gloves at this moment.
He was turning on the faucet and rinsing his hands in cold water.
It was getting a little cold at this time, and Lu Ran felt freezing when he saw it.
He took off his wet shirt, picked up the hair dryer and stood aside to blow dry it.
When he wanted to take off his jeans, Lu Ran looked up.
Their eyes met.
Lu Ran was stunned for two seconds, and suddenly he felt that it was not good to take off his pants in front of others.
He hesitated for a while with his fingers pinching the button, but he still buttoned it, bent down to wet the towel in his hand, and wiped the stains on his pants.
The person next to him put his hand in the cold water for five or six minutes, then turned off the faucet, and walked out in the wheelchair remotely.
The door of the bathroom is very heavy, and it takes some strength to push it.
It must be inconvenient to sit in a wheelchair.
Lu Ran was close to the door and helped push it.
The door opened.
The old housekeeper who had been staying outside was also surprised to see Ji Min sitting in a wheelchair: "Sir?"
Ji Min glanced at him and said nothing. He
moved the wheelchair forward with the remote control.
Lu Ran was almost done.
He walked out the door.
Ji Min, who had already walked a distance away, seemed to think of something and turned back.
His gloomy black eyes looked over and asked, "Are you a member of the Shen family?"
Lu Ran wanted to refute.
But the man was not seeking his affirmation, nor did he give him a chance to speak.
In other words, he didn't care about his wishes, but only cared about the facts he had learned.
He just said casually: "Give my regards to your eldest brother Shen Xingyu."
Lu Ran's head buzzed.
Shen Xingyu.
The person Lu Ran feared the most. When he
heard this name, he could instantly feel the piercing pain seeping out of his bones.
It was the phantom pain left in his memory, the moment of the car accident.
Lu Ran looked at the back of the man in the wheelchair.
He suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a place in the original text that his eldest brother Shen Xingyu and the young head of the Ji family were schoolmates and they had a good personal relationship.
The housekeeper asked a security guard to send Lu Ran away and left with Ji Min.
"Why is he here?" Ji Min asked.
"It was a little accident. He was probably bullied next door and accidentally came here through the fire escape." said the housekeeper.
Ji Min did not ask any more questions.
The housekeeper smiled and explained: "The master went out of his way to help this little classmate last time. I thought you would choose to help this time if you were there."
"It's just a nice thing to say." Ji Min thought about the words he heard in the car last time.
This time the housekeeper did not respond.
However, the atmosphere between the master and the servant was not strictly hierarchical.
At this time, a man dressed as an assistant came up.
Before he opened his mouth, Ji Min made an impatient gesture.
The housekeeper stepped forward with a smile and bowed, saying, "Sir, you are tired today."
The assistant was a little panicked: "Mr. Ji, we..."
"Please tell Mr. Zhang that we can discuss the project when we have time." The housekeeper stopped him.
With that, the two walked towards the elevator, ready to leave.
"I would like to ask, why did you suddenly appear in the public restroom?" asked the housekeeper.
Ji Min's voice was still cold: "There is something dirty in the room."
"Oh." The housekeeper was a little surprised.
He looked at Ji Min teasingly, then turned and looked at the restroom at the end of the corridor.
The housekeeper seemed to have thought of something, and his expression was a little apologetic: "I hope I don't scare that little classmate."
"Uncle Chen!" Ji Min said, his voice a little helpless.
Butler Chen didn't care much, and his smile was full of the tolerance of an elder.
The two of them got off the elevator and walked towards the exit of the twin towers.
Thinking of Lu Ran's reaction just now, the housekeeper teased: "Mr. obviously helped and did a good thing, but he chose to say something unpleasant. Normally, Mr. would not do this."
Ji Min ignored him and reached out to open the remote control door.
As soon as the master and servant walked out of the door, they saw an ambulance parked in front of the door of the building next door.
Someone wrapped in a blanket was pushed out.
Before the person appeared, he heard the person in the blanket howling like a pig being slaughtered: "Lu Ran! I'm going to kill Lu Ran!"
Maybe it was because the movement when he roared was too big.
A corner of the blanket slipped off, revealing Lin Yi who was like a chicken in the soup.
Ji Min raised his eyebrows and looked up at the butler beside him.
He asked with a hint of meaning: "Is this called being bullied?"
Butler Chen was also a little surprised and shrugged helplessly.
Behind the two of them, President Zhang, who found that things had gone wrong, also hurried over.
"President Ji! Stay, stay! I'm really sorry about what happened today. It's because my subordinates are ignorant!" He went through a lot of hardships and found five or six people to act as a bridge, and finally got a chance to meet Ji Min. How could he let it go so easily?
But after talking for a while, President Zhang found that the person in the wheelchair didn't even look at him. He
just stared at the next building thoughtfully.
There was a very rare interest in his black eyes.
Mr. Zhang looked over and was also stunned for a moment: "Isn't this... Xiao Yi?"
Mr. Zhang said this, but did not go over.
First, because Lin Yi's current appearance was really shabby and a bit embarrassing...
Another reason was that for some reason, Lin Yi's friends subconsciously avoided Lin Yi, as if he was covered in something dirty.
"Mr. Zhang, your son's fiancé is in such a mess, why don't you go and take a look?"
Ji Min's voice rang out.
Mr. Zhang's face suddenly became hot, thinking that Lin Yi's crazy behavior was really embarrassing.
At the same time, he was doubtful.
Not sure if his "arrangement" today angered Ji Min, so Ji Min specially asked someone to go to the next building and find out about Lin Yi's troubles...
Lu Ran didn't know what the big guys thought.
It was already quite late when he went back, and he went to pick up Da Huang, and fell asleep as soon as he came back.
There was no class the next morning.
Shen Xingzhuo paid him double the salary in advance, and he didn't have to go to his part-time job at the fast food restaurant, so he slept until noon.
Until he heard someone knocking on his door.
Lu Ran got up irritably.
"Who!!" he yelled.
Da Huang squatted by the door, looked at the door, and then looked at Lu Ran.
He didn't shout, but just maintained a polite alert.
"It's me!" The person who knocked on the door also yelled.
It sounded like Shen Xingzhuo's voice.
Lu Ran was a little strange.
In fact, the Shen family didn't often stay on the first floor.
The Shen family's villa has three floors. The third floor belongs entirely to Shen Xingran, and the second floor is the master bedroom and study. There are also two empty rooms for Shen Xingyu and Shen Xingzhuo to stay in when they come back occasionally.
As for the first floor where Lu Ran lives, the entire floor is a servant's room.
So with the Shen family's self-righteous mentality, they will not come over, let alone bang on the door.
Lu Ran shook his messy hair, walked out in slippers with a sour face.
Shen Xingzhuo wanted to bang on the door again, but Lu Ran suddenly opened it.
"Are you sick? Can't you let me sleep so early in the morning?"
Shen Xingzhuo seemed to have heard something ridiculous, and pointed to the bright sky outside: "This is called early in the morning? How can you sleep more than me?"
Lu Ran didn't talk to him.
He stretched out his leg to stop Da Huang who was wagging his tail and approaching, staring at Shen Xingzhuo and asking: "What are you doing? The money transferred to my Alipay account is mine, don't even think about me returning it."
"Who told you about the money?" Shen Xingzhuo was mad.
After saying that, he quickly changed the subject: "It's about the money! How much did you spend yesterday?"
"Huh?" Lu Ran still couldn't remember.
Until Shen Xingzhuo pulled out an electronic bill and slammed it in Lu Ran's face.
Lu Ran then remembered that he ordered more than a dozen bottles of good wine in one go yesterday in order to cheat Shen Xingzhuo.
Shen Xingzhuo agreed to pay yesterday, but he didn't expect Lu Ran to be so capable.
When the club sent the bill this morning, Shen Xingzhuo's eyes almost fell out, and he was so angry that he immediately drove to Shen's house to find trouble with Lu Ran.
"You can't afford to pay this small bill?" Lu Ran yawned.
Shen Xingzhuo choked.
His studio has lost a lot of money recently, but it's not that he can't afford it.
It's just that this is indeed an extraordinary expense.
But to let Shen Xingzhuo admit in front of Lu Ran that he can't afford it...
Shen Xingzhuo... is determined not to say this.
He was so angry.
But when he looked down at Lu Ran, who was sleeping with messy hair and rubbing his eyes, a corner of his heart felt very angry.
Shen Xingzhuo was used to doing whatever he wanted, and he would get angry whenever he wanted.
But now was the first time in his life that he felt this humiliation in his heart, and he was holding back his anger, and it became silent after a while.
"You!" Shen Xingzhuo pointed at Lu Ran.
"What's wrong with me?" Lu Ran looked at him innocently, "Didn't you agree to it?"
Shen Xingzhuo said "you" for a long time, but there was no follow-up.
He turned around and wanted to pick up something to smash, and even picked up the cup, but couldn't smash it down for some reason.
Finally, Shen Xingzhuo put the cup on the table angrily.
He squatted down, grabbed Dahuang's dog head and ravaged it several times, then turned around and left with a "humph".
