Chapter 57 Gu Ningqi

Shen Xingran thought...

Lu Ran's return was official or a joke.

There was some noise coming from upstairs.

Shen Xingran turned around and saw Shen Hongyuan coming down.

Unexpectedly, Shen Hongyuan looked at Lu Ran downstairs with a heavy gaze.

Shen Xingran heard about the relationship between Lu Ran and the head of the Ji family.

He knew Shen Hongyuan and thought that Shen Hongyuan would change his attitude towards Lu Ran.

But looking at Shen Hongyuan's face now, he was not happy.

Although Shen Xingran was confused, he felt more at ease.

But soon, Shen Hongyuan adjusted his mood.

He looked at Lu Ran and said, "You are doing very well. Pay more attention when the banquet starts."

Lu Ran pulled the corner of his mouth and uttered a light "huh".

In his previous life, he was terrified in front of the Shen family.

Influenced by the attitude of this family, he also felt that he could not show up in public.

Now he doesn't have that idea.

No matter how bright and beautiful the packaging is, it still can't eat, drink, defecate or urinate.

Who is looking down on whom?

When Shen Hongyuan came down the stairs, his expression had become completely amiable.

He even smiled at Lu Ran and asked casually:

"Is President Ji going to come today?"

"He is so busy, how would I know."

Lu Ran was not surprised that Shen Hongyuan asked about Ji Min.

After all, he was able to officially return to the Shen family with the help of Ji Min.

But even though he gave Ji Min an invitation, Lu Ran was not really willing to let Ji Min come.

Today's banquet looked like it would cause a lot of trouble.

For a social animal like him, wherever the boss is, it's a workplace.

If Ji Min came, he would have to rack his brains to think of how to praise Ji Min.

He would be so tired.

As it got dark outside, the banquet finally began.

Luxury cars were parked in front of the door.

Almost all the families in Beijing and the Shen family with the same status as the Shen family came in.

During this period, the Shen family caught an illegitimate child and found their lost son.

There was also some adoption controversy.

They were the talk of the town and the jokes in the upper circles of Beijing.

Besides, everyone knows that the old man Gu of the Gu family and the late old man Shen were close friends.

The two had arranged a marriage for their young master.

After the death of old man Shen, the Shen family was in great difficulty for a period of time, and it was old man Gu who helped under the pretext of the marriage.

Although the news about the marriage has faded in recent years.

But the grandsons of the Gu family, Gu Ningqi and Shen Xingran are very close, and it is basically assumed that the two are getting married.

But now, a lost little son suddenly appeared.

Shen Xingran, who was originally regarded as the real young master, turned out to be an adopted son...

This scene is very interesting.

I don't know what Gu Ningqi and old man Gu will choose.

Most of the people present were more or less thinking of watching the show.

But no matter what he thought in his heart, he greeted them cheerfully.

Shen Hongyuan had done his best to save face today. He

personally greeted the guests at the door and even brought Lu Ran with him.

But when he glanced at Lu Ran's feet, his eyelids jumped.

"Why did you bring it out!"

Shen Hongyuan's mask of a kind father almost froze, and his throat almost cracked.

Lu Ran was wearing that expensive haute couture.

His appearance was also first-class and noble, but he still had the little local dog at his feet.

"What's wrong? Today is the day I come back, and it's also the day Dahuang comes back."

Lu Ran said lazily.

He doesn't care what others think.

So what if Dahuang is a little local dog.

Lu Ran doesn't think he is superior, nor does he think that local dogs are not presentable.

The corners of Shen Hongyuan's mouth twitched.

He was about to have PTSD about this dog. After all, the most vicious moments in his life were related to this dog. He

couldn't hide the fierceness in his voice, and he couldn't help but said, "It's not good for others to see it, lock up the dog quickly."

After he finished speaking, he saw that Lu Ran didn't move.

There was no reply.

He just stared at him with his dark eyes. When he

suddenly calmed down, Shen Hongyuan realized that Lu Ran's look today was a bit oppressive.

When he didn't speak, the slight curve at the end of his eyes faded. There was a

dead coldness in his black eyes.

Shen Hongyuan was actually a little scared.

He thought of today's plan, and a smile quickly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

But before he could finish his words, Lu Ran took out his cell phone with the microphone pointed in his direction.

"…What?" Shen Hongyuan was confused.

"Repeat what you just said, I'll record it and send it to Ji Min."

Lu Ran said seriously.

Shen Hongyuan almost laughed out loud.

What did Lu Ran mean? It was fine for Ji Min to protect him, but would he really protect this dog?

The next second, Lu Ran picked up Da Huang.

With a "click", he pinched open the pendant on Da Huang's collar.

In the pendant, Ji Min's ID photo, which was slightly deformed due to the low printing level, was revealed.

A pair of cold eyes emitted a death beam at Shen Hongyuan.

Shen Hongyuan: "..."

His lips trembled, and he pointed at the pendant and asked, "What is this?"

"Mr. Ji's photo." Lu Ran said.

Shen Hongyuan knew it was Ji Min's photo.

It was...

"Why, why is it hung on the neck of this dog!"

Shen Hongyuan's eyes almost fell out.

Ji Min not only helped Lu Ran take care of the dog.

He also hung his own photo on the neck of this local dog?

Shen Hongyuan was shocked and dazed.

"Oh, what do you know." Lu Ran didn't mind the dog relying on the power of the person.

Seeing that there were guests coming over,

he waved his paw at the people while holding Da Huang, and asked with a smile: "Is my dog ​​cute?"

He was smiling.

Ji Min's face was still cold in the pendant on Da Huang's neck.

The questioned guest: "..."

Good guy, do they dare to say that she is not lovable?

In the hall,

female guests have entered one after another.

Mrs. Shen is in charge of the reception.

She is very comfortable with such occasions, but when she thinks about the purpose of today's banquet,

she feels a little uncomfortable and her heart is half-hearted.

In the intervals of warmly greeting the guests, Mrs. Shen pricked up her ears to listen to the conversations of the wealthy ladies around her.

Everyone is still talking about the Gu family.

"Ningqi said he will be back soon?"

"I wonder what he is thinking about this time."

"Oh, the kids are all grown up now, they are old enough."

Someone sighed with regret, saying, "If he doesn't go back today, it seems he won't be able to catch up."

What can he not catch up with?

Of course, he can't catch up with today's family reunion meeting.

The person who said this is a qualified person who enjoys having fun.

Everyone followed suit with regret.

One person laughed, "You don't know this, right? I heard that Gu Ningqi's flight today should have arrived by now." As soon as

these words came out, the people around him immediately became excited.

Someone couldn't help but call Mrs. Shen.

Mrs. Shen's heart skipped a beat.

She forced a smile and turned around to ask, "What's the matter?"

A group of ladies came over to her affectionately and asked, "Tell us the truth, is the engagement between the Gu family and your family still valid?"

When she heard this question, Mrs. Shen's heart dropped to her stomach.

"Of course it's valid!"

"Who will the engagement end up with?"

This is what everyone cares about the most.

Mrs. Shen said without thinking, "Of course it's Ranran. The old man specifically said that the marriage was for Ranran."

After saying this, she suddenly paused.

When she looked up again, she found that everyone around her was looking at her with a strange look.

"This Ranran, which Ranran is it?"

Mrs. Shen's face froze.

The thing she feared most finally came.

After this question was opened, the topic of the people around her suddenly changed.

Some people began to sigh: "But he was lost for fifteen years!"

"Fortunately he was found."

"Why did the child get lost? The old man got seriously ill later, was it because of this?"

The old things that were deliberately forgotten were brought up again, and a sense of guilt that had been hidden for a long time slowly climbed up Mrs. Shen's back.

Her delicately made-up cheeks were a little stiff.

"He liked to run around when he was a child..."

Mrs. Shen realized something was wrong when she said this.

Sure enough, the people around her immediately looked at her with disapproval.

"Who doesn't like to run around when he was a four-year-old child? Adults must pay more attention to him!"

"I vaguely remember that Ranran was very well behaved when he was a child..."

The lady who was speaking slowly stopped talking.

After hearing this, they realized that the Shen family's own biological son was called "Xingran" since childhood.

Later, when the child was lost, they actually gave this name to the adopted son.

Did they never expect to find the child back?

The wealthy ladies around were all mothers.

The accusing eyes of a group of mothers made Mrs. Shen's back cold.

In the end, she didn't even care about the banquet, and hurried back to her room on the second floor on the pretext of having something to do.

With a "click".

The bedroom door closed.

Mrs. Shen's mood has not settled down.

This sound seemed to coincide with the sound of the RV door closing in her memory.

On the other side, Lu Ran felt hungry and didn't stand outside the door. He

just left Shen Hongyuan and went into the living room by himself.

He was walking around the banquet with Da Huang on his leash.

He was so casual.

Some friends who were close to Shen Xingran looked at Shen Xingran standing in the corner, then looked at Lu Ran, and immediately got angry.

After walking a few steps, Lu Ran was stopped by a boy.

"Are you the lost son of the Shen family?" The boy asked arrogantly.

Without waiting for Lu Ran to answer, he continued, "Oh, don't think about it. Brother Gu only has Ranran in his heart, and you can't think of it."

Lu Ran raised his eyebrows, pondered slowly, and remembered what the man was talking about.

He didn't answer.

The boy continued, "It's the same in our hearts. You will never be as good as Ranran."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the delicate boy in front of him suddenly bend down and move closer.

The boy couldn't help but blush.

He came to stand up for Shen Xingran.

But when he first saw this orphan who was not presentable in the rumors, he was also shocked for a moment.

This person is so handsome.

There is a temperament that is different from the people in their circle.

He is well-behaved and bad, and has some mystery left by life experience.

Especially after this Lu Ran moved closer...

The boy blushed and was so nervous that he didn't know where to put his hands.

He tried hard to be tough.

But he heard the person in front of him, with this well-behaved and dignified face like an angel.

The devil whispered in his ear:

"I've wanted to say it for a long time... there's food on your teeth."

Boy: "..."

Lu Ran patted the shoulder of the person in front of him.

Leaving the boy who was cracked on the spot, he continued to move forward with Da Huang.

Seeing that one of the troublemakers lay down, another one stood up.

The troublemaker came over and stopped Lu Ran.

He was about to say something.

He suddenly paused before speaking, turned around, took out his mobile phone, turned off the screen, bared his teeth and took a look, then turned around with peace of mind.

Unexpectedly, he felt a pain in his scalp as soon as he turned around.

He looked up and saw the boy opposite him holding a wig in his hand, with a bright face.

He smiled like a devil.

"Oh, how come your wig fell off."

The man raised his hand and touched his bald head, pointing at Lu Ran: "You! You! You..."

After a long while, he covered his bald head and ran away quickly.

The people who watched this "farce": "..."

It looks like... he doesn't seem to be easy to mess with.

Some people who originally wanted to test him retreated silently.

As soon as Lu Ran raised his eyes, they felt that the boy's vision was like an X-ray, accurately scanning the most fake part of them.

That smile was obviously malicious.

It was as if he was planning how to tear off the hypocritical fake skin on their bodies.

It was the first time that everyone present saw someone who was so unethical.

How can you go out without some "makeup".

It would be embarrassing if he was pulled out.

After a while, a circle of vacuum area quietly appeared around Lu Ran.

Lu Ran looked around and sighed.

He lowered his eyes to meet Da Huang's small eyes: "I haven't used you yet, why did you all run away?"

There was even a hint of regret in his tone.

Da Huang blinked twice.

He didn't know how he would be "used".

Lu Ran took Da Huang to eat something.

Seeing that Da Huang was very greedy, he fed Da Huang some cream cake for the first time.

The puppy lowered his head and raised his head, and his face was covered with cream.

Lu Ran couldn't help laughing and took Da Huang to the bathroom to wash his face.

There were many people in the villa, so he took the dog around to the independent bathroom in the yard.

It was empty here and there was not much people. As

soon as he walked in, he met a man.

The man was changing clothes anxiously.

He was stunned for a moment when he saw someone coming in, and then he changed his clothes slowly.

His eyes swept across Lu Ran's face again.

There was a kind of deliberate elegance in his movements.

In short, pretending to be cool.

Lu Ran glanced at him.

He squatted silently and wiped Da Huang's face with a wet tissue.

He remained silent on his face, but he was actually thinking in his heart, as expected,

the person who changed clothes was Gu Ningqi.

Seeing Gu Ningqi, Lu Ran suddenly remembered.

It was probably around this time in his last life that Gu Ningqi returned to China.

At that time, Lu Ran didn't know about the engagement.

He didn't care about Gu Ningqi at all.

However, he had been wandering outside for more than ten years. When he heard that his brother from childhood had returned, he subconsciously paid attention.

When Gu Ningqi came to the Shen family, he somehow offended Shen Xingran.

It was that time that Shen Xingran pushed him into the swimming pool in the backyard.

The pool water had not been changed for several days and was freezing cold.

Gu Ningqi stood by the pool, hugged Shen Xingran, frowned and said to Lu Ran:

"How dare you get close to me, don't you know that there is only Ranran in my heart?"

Lu Ran was almost frozen at the time, and had no idea what the hell this person was talking about.

As if to protect Shen Xingran, Gu Ningqi even turned around and said to Shen Hongyuan and Mrs. Shen:

"Uncle and aunt, you can't let everyone in the house. People who don't know would think that a prostitute sneaked in."

He just stood in the cold pool, listening to these harsh comments.

Later, he climbed out of the pool against the cold wind and pain in his joints.

Hearing the servants' discussion, he learned that he and Gu Ningqi had a so-called engagement when he was a child.

But now the engagement has been moved to Shen Xingran.

He passed by Gu Ningqi and was considered a seduction.

Lu Ran was vomiting.

For the first time, he realized what it meant to be trustworthy.

It seems that Gu Ningqi has not made any progress in this life.

She must have just come from the airport.

She acted affectionate, but she was too proud to enter the venue in wrinkled clothes.

So she changed her clothes in the bathroom.

In recent days, Lu Ran was wondering why Shen Xingran was silent.

It turned out that she was waiting for him here.

She wanted the Gu family to cancel the engagement at the banquet when he officially returned to the Shen family.

And repeat the words that were used to scold him in the last life to embarrass him?

Lu Ran held the wet tissue and suddenly laughed.

His voice was clear and a little mocking.

Gu Ningqi, who was changing clothes, couldn't help but look at him. He

muttered in his heart that he hadn't been back to China for several years, and which family had such a stunning young master.

Gu Ningqi noticed this man as soon as he came in.

The boy had an outstanding appearance.

He had a special aura that caught people's attention.

He bent over the sink and wet a tissue.

The pale yellow light from the sink shone on his hair, and the glitter dotted in his hair sparkled like stars.

But the boy's profile was cold and distant, with a kind of silence that made people jealous.

But when the boy bent over to face the puppy in front of him, he lowered his eyes again.

It was so well-behaved and cute.

Gu Ning couldn't help but take a few more glances.

The action of changing clothes was even more deliberately controlled.

This is a subconscious reaction when people see beautiful things they appreciate.

Lu Ran lowered his head and wiped Da Huang's feet carefully, as if he was unaware of Gu Ningqi's gaze.

Gu Ningqi took off his wrinkled trousers.

One leg was put into the prepared new suit pants.

Lu Ran lowered his head and continued to wipe Da Huang's feet.

Gu Ningqi put his other leg in.

He was about to bend down to pull up his trousers.

At this moment, both legs of the trousers were stuck at the knees, unable to move up or down.

The quiet boy in front suddenly turned around and looked at him, and gave him a nice smile.

Gu Ningqi was stunned.

He paused and his thoughts suddenly began to diverge.

His clothes were now disheveled, obviously not very appropriate. But the boy looked at him like this.

Did he see his real strength?

Gu Ningqi's mind wandered, and he hesitated for a moment while putting on his clothes subconsciously, and smiled at Lu Ran.

But he felt a little disdainful in his heart, thinking that this boy was nothing special.

The next second, he saw the boy in front of him, with that eye-catching smile, suddenly kicked him.

Gu Ningqi: "!!!"

His pants were still stuck in his legs.

This bathroom is very remote, in the corner of the villa, and it is not cleaned very carefully.

There is also a pool of unknown water stains on the stairs.

Gu Ningqi was kicked, and his feet slipped again, and he slid down the stairs.

He didn't fall down.

Now his upper body fell into the cubicle, one leg slid to the bottom of the steps, and the other leg was still on the first step, slowly sliding down.

From a distance, it looked as if he had put his head into the toilet cubicle to do push-ups.

Because his legs were bound by pants, he couldn't use any strength at all.

Gu Ningqi could only use both hands to hold on to the partition of the cubicle for leverage.

And less than half a meter away from his face...

was the squat toilet.

At this time, Gu Ningqi realized that he had hurriedly found a not-so-good cubicle.

Because the automatic induction flusher in this cubicle was broken.

There was also a pile of black rags in the corner.

Gu Ningqi was completely confused.

He had no idea that he would suddenly face such a situation after he hurriedly got off the plane.

At this moment, he even felt like he was dreaming. He

couldn't help but look back at the boy who kicked him outside the cubicle.

The boy was standing not far away, holding a puppy, looking at him with a worried look.

That expression was extremely innocent.

For a moment, Gu Ningqi even thought that the sweeping leg just now was his illusion.

He was in this situation because he accidentally slipped.

Until, he saw the boy picked up the broom beside him.

Gu Ningqi suddenly reacted: "Wait!"

"You, don't come over!"

"Don't joke!"

"Ah!"

After a scream, Gu Ningqi fell heavily into the pit.

After a few seconds of terrifying silence,

a roar resounded through the sky: "Are you sick?"

Gu Ningqi's pants were still tangled, and his legs stared for several times without any strength.

He grabbed something with his hands and then supported himself to raise his head.

His face was covered with smelly water stains, and he was almost vomiting.

He got up and wiped his face subconsciously with his hands.

After wiping, he found that it was even stinkier.

Gu Ningqi turned his head and realized that when he was grabbing, he had grabbed the black rag.

His whole face showed an innocent confusion.

After a long while, he asked the strange boy outside the cubicle with trembling lips: "Do I, do I know you?"

The boy smiled at him with dark eyes: "No, it's just that seeing you like this, I feel uncomfortable if I don't do something."

Gu Ningqi was so angry that his whole body was shaking.

He was about to say something, but suddenly stopped, feeling something was wrong on his face.

There seemed to be a thin white strip of something floating in his sight.

He frowned and pulled his bangs.

Then he opened his hand.

He found a limp enoki mushroom lying in his palm.
