Chapter 17: Clubbing

Lin Yi was a little nervous, afraid that Mrs. Zhang would see her in this state.

Shen Xingran was delighted.

The Zhang family came to see Lin Yi now, which showed that they still valued Lin Yi.

If they knew that it was Lu Ran who caused the trouble,

Lu Ran would definitely have a hard time in the future.

"What are you afraid of?" Shen Xingran persuaded Lin Yi, "The worse you look now, the more Mrs. Zhang will feel sorry for you, right?"

Lin Yi glanced at Shen Xingran suspiciously.

He hesitated for a moment, but still tidied himself up a little before opening the door for Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang was very enthusiastic. She held Lin Yi's face as soon as she entered the door: "Hey, look at your pale face, why don't you stay in the room and go out to bask in the sun?"

"I've been in a bad mood recently." Lin Yi said following Shen Xingran's instructions.

"You should go out even more if you are in a bad mood!" Mrs. Zhang pulled Lin Yi to sit down beside the bed, and when she saw Shen Xingran, she smiled and nodded.

This lady doesn't look like other idle rich ladies.

I heard that Mrs. Zhang had been working in the Zhang family company when she was young, and her words have the flavor of a strong woman who is fierce and popular.

Shen Xingran stood aside and watched Mrs. Zhang ask Lin Yi about her well-being.

But in his heart, he wondered why the Zhang family chose to make friends with the Lin family.

A family like the Lin family is still a little worse than their Zhang family.

The Shen family is on the same level as the Zhang family.

I think so.

Shen Xingran was just a little unhappy in his heart, but if he really asked him to make friends with Zhang Lin, he would not want to.

Although Zhang Lin is the only son in the family, he is a spoiled second-generation rich kid, not even as good as Shen Xingzhuo.

His mother is extremely powerful.

After thinking for a while, she criticized the Zhang family's marriage as worthless.

When Shen Xingran came to her senses, she felt something was wrong.

Mrs. Zhang has always been concerned about Lin Yi, and advised Lin Yi to go out more and visit Zhang's house more often.

She talked about the interesting things when Zhang Lin was a child.

After chatting for a while, she just didn't bring up what Lin Yi had experienced a few days ago.

Shen Xingran was anxious and winked at Lin Yi.

But Lin Yi was led away by Mrs. Zhang.

Helpless, Shen Xingran could only speak for himself: "Aunt, Lin Yi didn't want to go out these two days because he was bullied."

Shen Xingran lowered his head embarrassedly: "The man who bullied him is called Lu Ran, and he has some relationship with our family..."

Shen Xingran finished speaking, and didn't get a reply for a long time.

He lowered his head and looked at Mrs. Zhang, who was smiling on the surface but had dark eyes.

Shen Xingran was happy.

Sure enough, the Zhang family valued Lin Yi very much. Just hearing this, Mrs. Zhang was already angry.

After thinking about it, Shen Xingran felt sour in his heart again.

What exactly did the Zhang family see in Lin Yi?

He was just about to say a few more words to exaggerate.

But Mrs. Zhang stared at him with a smile on her face, but her tone was serious: "What bullying or not, it's just a kid playing."

Shen Xingran was confused?

Playing? What does that mean?

Shouldn't Mrs. Zhang go to Lu Ran to ask for an explanation?

Shen Xingran was so anxious that she almost told him about Lu Ran pushing Lin Yi into the toilet.

Lin Yi was also a little anxious.

But Mrs. Zhang interrupted them decisively: "Okay!"

"There is no overnight hatred between friends." She reached out and stroked Lin Yi's face, but her tone was unyielding, "Xiao Yi, go talk to your friend, it's all over."

Shen Xingran and Lin Yi didn't expect this result.

Why did it sound like Lin Yi had to take the initiative to apologize to Lu Ran?

Lin Yi was completely stunned. But he

didn't dare to refute Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang said a few more words, then got up and left.

Before leaving, he looked at Shen Xingran carefully.

What happened in the club that day, could she hide it from these young men, and could she hide it from them?

But who knows if it was that person who was dissatisfied with her husband's arrangement, so she used this incident to hit their Zhang family?

After all...

later, the illegitimate son named Lu Ran appeared in another building. He

was still welcomed in by Ji Min's housekeeper in person.

Wouldn't it make Ji Min uncomfortable to find trouble with Lu Ran?

Their Zhang family is not that confused.

After leaving the Lin family, Shen Xingran was a little panicked.

A greater sense of loss of control came, making him particularly anxious.

Shen Xingzhuo is unreliable.

On Lin Yi's side, the Zhang family has a strange attitude.

Is there no one who can control Lu Ran?

Shen Xingran thinks this won't work.

After returning to the Shen family, he specifically told the cook, tied an apron and went into the kitchen.

It can't be said that he did it himself, but he also helped and made a meal for Shen Hongyuan and Madam Shen.

Waiting for Shen Hongyuan and Madam Shen to return home.

Before the two of them went to the second floor, Shen Xingran directly took Madam Shen's hand: "Mom! I made a meal for you, all your favorite food!"

As he said that, he pretended to be excited and pulled Madam Shen to the restaurant.

Before entering the restaurant, Shen Hongyuan and Madam Shen's faces froze.

Sorry.

Now that they are here, they don't want to eat.

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Shen Xingran secretly cursed them in her heart.

How many days have passed, and how many times have they cleaned the place?

But this is just right.

"Ranran, how about we have someone send the food upstairs?" Mrs. Shen patted Shen Xingran's hand with a stiff face.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she saw that the food had been placed on the dining table in the restaurant.

Shen Hongyuan and Mrs. Shen both looked embarrassed.

Shen Xingran immediately showed a hurt expression.

He stroked the red marks on his fingers and asked carefully: "Mom and Dad, don't you want to eat? If you don't want to, forget it, I..."

Seeing him like this, Mrs. Shen immediately felt distressed: "No, no, Mom doesn't mean that, it's just..."

Shen Xingran took the opportunity to pull Mrs. Shen and Shen Hongyuan to sit on the sofa.

He expressed his understanding: "I know, I didn't think it through. But..."

Mrs. Shen felt relieved when she heard it.

He loved and apologized to Shen Xingran even more.

Shen Xingran hesitated for a long time, and as if he couldn't hold it back any longer, he said: "Mom and Dad, this is your home. Dad is the head of the family, how can you let... you be tied up at home and let... the culprit get away with it?" As

soon as these words came out, they immediately hit Shen Hongyuan's soft spot.

Shen Hongyuan's face immediately sank, and Mrs. Shen's face was not good either.

Shen Xingran clasped his fingers, his tone was hesitant, but what he said was exaggerated.

"When you were not around, he even wanted to take the dog upstairs. If this goes on..."

Mrs. Shen pondered for a while, she patted Shen Xingran's hand: "You are right, we can't go on like this, we have to teach him a lesson."

Lu Ran had no idea what Shen Xingran had been doing all day.

He quit his job at the breakfast shop, but took on several other part-time jobs.

After being reborn, Lu Ran enjoyed the feeling of living a down-to-earth and hard-working life.

When he returned to the Shen family, the villa was quiet and seemed to be no different from usual.

Lu Ran wiped Da Huang's feet and fed him some dog food. After washing himself, he fell asleep on the bed.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, there was a loud knock on the door.

Lu Ran got up irritably.

He thought it was Shen Xingzhuo who came back in the middle of the night. When he opened the door, he saw it was the Shen family's servant.

"What's the matter?" Lu Ran asked.

The servant knocked on the door loudly, but was a little scared when he saw Lu Ran. He

lowered his voice unconsciously and said, "Master Lu, Madam doesn't sleep well and wakes up easily at night. Please don't make any noise at night."

"I'm sleeping, what's the noise?" Lu Ran asked.

The servant was a little embarrassed, but continued, "You make noises when you walk and turn over in sleep."

Lu Ran glanced at him, closed the door with a "bang", and went back to sleep.

He crawled into the quilt and was about to fall asleep when the door was knocked again.

Lu Ran opened his eyes quietly on the bed.

There was no anger of being woken up in his black eyes, only the calmness of dead water.

He lifted the quilt and got out of bed. He

opened the door and found that a servant had been replaced outside.

"What's the matter again?" Lu Ran asked.

The servant said, "Madam has been awakened again. Please be quiet, Master Lu."

Lu Ran wanted to laugh.

He suddenly remembered that something like this happened in his last life.

During that time, Madam Shen was mentally weak for some reason and always heard noises downstairs.

Whenever she woke up at night, she thought he had made some noises again.

The funny thing is that Lu Ran took it seriously.

He thought he was moving too much, or he had made some noises inadvertently in his sleep at night.

He was careful to slow down all his movements. He

walked on tiptoes and didn't even dare to turn over when he slept at night.

But Madam Shen still thought he made a noise.

In the end, she even collapsed and yelled at him, and drove him from the first floor where the servant lived to the warehouse in the villa yard.

Now thinking back, he was on the first floor and Mrs. Shen lived on the second floor, so how could she be disturbed by him?

Moreover, he even relaxed his breathing in the end, but he still disturbed Mrs. Shen.

Either she disliked him and dumped all her troubles on him.

Or she had planned to drive him to live in the yard.

Lu Ran looked at the servant outside the door and said nothing more, indicating that he knew.

He would not sleep tonight and got up directly to finish writing the thesis. He

also wrote down the frequency and strength of the servant's knocking on the door.

The next day, Lu Ran borrowed a portable stereo from a classmate and bought a rubber massage hammer.

When he returned home, after many days, Mrs. Shen finally sat on the sofa on the first floor again, talking and laughing with Shen Xingran.

The two looked at the dark circles under his eyes, and they were obviously very happy as if they had turned the tables.

Lu Ran said nothing, and returned to his room with his head down.

Madam Shen winked at Shen Xingran: "See, you still need a lesson before you can behave."

Shen Xingran pretended to comfort her: "Mom... why don't you just forget it?"

Madam Shen waved to the servant and called: "Continue tonight, and be careful in the second half of the night, so as not to disturb the second and third floors."

At night, the light in Lu Ran's room had just been turned off for a while.

The door was knocked again, and the words were the same as in the last life, suggesting that he live in the villa in the yard.

Lu Ran pretended to be annoyed to the point of collapse.

After closing the door, he waited patiently.

In the late night, the servants knocked on his door subconsciously with less force.

When the second and third floors of the villa fell into deep sleep,

Lu Ran opened the door and inserted the memory card into the portable stereo that had been charged for a whole day.

The whole villa was quiet and sank into darkness.

Suddenly, there was a loud explosion:

"Dongci Daci!"

"Dongci Daci!"

"The boundless horizon is my love~"

Lu Ran directly carried the speaker up to the second floor, ran all the way to Mrs. Shen's bedroom door, and knocked wildly with a massage hammer.

"Dongdongdong!"

"Dongci Daci!"

"You are the most beautiful cloud in my sky~"

Mrs. Shen and Shen Hongyuan, who had just fallen asleep, rushed out with their heads drooping.
