Chapter 60: Pulling
and stepping on it It’s short and small.
Even zero would dislike it.
The banquet hall was silent.
The band was playing a carol, and the tune was cheerful and melodious.
The sound of Shen Hongyuan greeting guests came from the door, and people were talking and laughing in the yard.
But!
None of these could stop the words "short and small" from echoing in everyone's ears.
God!
What kind of lewd words are these?
How dare someone say such words in public?
No!
Is Gu Ningqi really that small?
So small that this unfavored Lu Ran didn't even want to save face and was busy rejecting the marriage of the Gu family.
It is said that he saw it in the bathroom.
It seems to be quite credible!
Such words are too straightforward.
The aristocratic families who prided themselves on being noble had never heard of this in such a serious occasion.
But the moment they heard it, everyone couldn't restrain their curiosity.
Unfortunately, Gu Ningqi was holding the huge gift box all the time. He
blocked it tightly.
Gu Ningqi didn't react for a while.
He subconsciously said, "I know this, I'm not asking you this!"
When his brain digested what Lu Ran was saying ,
he suddenly bit his tongue.
For a moment, he almost had the feeling of his soul leaving his body again, and he doubted that he hadn't understood what Lu Ran said at all.
What's small?
Small what?
When Gu Ningqi came back to his senses, his face suddenly flushed.
He felt that the eyes of the people around him were scanning him like an X-ray.
Gu Ningqi had never been so embarrassed in his life.
He couldn't even speak clearly: "Huh? What did you say? Who is so young? Why are you slandering me?"
Lu Ran understood immediately after seeing his reaction.
It really didn't seem that serious.
He pretended to sigh and said with embarrassment: "I don't want to talk about this kind of thing. Who asked you to come here directly? You forced me to say it!"
As he said that, he looked at Gu Ningqi with a look mixed with sympathy and pity.
"I just took a look in the bathroom, but I didn't expect..."
Lu Ran stroked his chest and said thankfully: "Fortunately I took a look."
His expression was extremely sighing.
Seeing this, the people around him believed it 99%.
Gu Ningqi almost exploded: "Don't talk nonsense, what evidence do you have? You just took a look from a distance!"
Lu Ran slowly pointed at him: "Isn't the evidence in your pants? Show it to me if you can."
Gu Ningqi was furious: "Show it if you want!"
As he said that, he threw away the gift box he had been holding in his hand.
His fingers even pressed on the belt buckle.
He felt cold and woke up instantly.
He looked at the gift box that fell on the ground.
Then he slowly looked at his crotch.
There... was still an unknown water stain from the toilet.
A large area.
At first glance, it seemed as if he couldn't help peeing in his pants.
The gift box fell to the ground, the lid was opened, and it was empty.
Everyone looked at the gift box on the ground, and then at Gu Ningqi's pants.
Suddenly they understood.
Damn, he had been holding a box to cover his wet pants?
No, how did it get wet?
And it looks like it really doesn't work.
Gu Ningqi raised his eyes and saw that everyone was looking at him as if he was a fool.
He felt as if a basin of cold water was poured over his head, and he felt that he was running naked in public.
At this moment, Gu Ningqi's face turned even redder.
The heir image that he had forced himself to show was completely shed, revealing the embarrassment of a young boy who had never experienced anything.
Lu Ran was still sighing, and advised: "Look at you, I was just joking, why are you so upset?"
Everyone agreed.
So easy to be upset... It's obvious at first glance that it's true
"You! You have no shame!" Gu Ningqi yelled with trembling fingers.
Shen Xingran was dumbfounded.
I didn't expect that the things I had worked so hard to arrange would end up like this.
But I can't let Gu Ningqi be labeled as incompetent.
Otherwise, how will others see him in the future?
Shen Xingran's IQ was still online, and he didn't care about anything else. He immediately said: "You said you saw it? What if you are talking nonsense?"
Lu Ran looked at him with a smile, waiting for this sentence: "Of course I have evidence."
Shen Xingran's heart sank: "What, what evidence?"
Lu Ran took out his mobile phone and clicked on a photo: "Look at it all."
Seeing Lu Ran's action, Gu Ningqi realized that something was wrong.
Everyone leaned over to look at the mobile phone screen.
They saw Gu Ningqi lying in the toilet cubicle like this, with a very strange posture.
This photo was taken from his side and back.
From this angle, Gu Ningqi seemed to have put his head into the toilet to eat.
It also looks like a staircase outside the toilet cubicle.
But no matter what, it doesn't look very big.
Everyone present had their eyes glued to Lu Ran's mobile phone screen, and they were shocked.
Who would have thought that the heir of the Gu family would have such a hobby in private?
Shen Xingran's scalp exploded when he saw the photo.
If it were someone else, they would think that Gu Ningqi accidentally fell and Lu Ran took the opportunity to take a picture of him.
But Shen Xingran is different.
He knows Lu Ran's methods!
As soon as he saw the photo, he knew that it was 100% Lu Ran's work. At
this moment, Shen Xingran was a little confused.
He suddenly didn't know what he was busy with during this time.
He tried hard to keep Gu Ningqi hanging, playing hard to get, and maintaining Gu Ningqi's interest in him.
He released the news of the marriage between the Gu family and the Shen family, and also released the news that Gu Ningqi returned to China for him. He
worked so hard to do all this just to ensure that the Gu family's engagement fell on him.
He was also cautious and wary of Lu Ran.
But while he was doing all this, what was Lu Ran, whom he regarded as his opponent, doing?
He pushed Gu Ningqi, whom he was trying to pull, into the squat toilet.
At this moment, Shen Xingran just felt that something was wrong.
How could he not have thought that Lu Ran was a lunatic!
The sound from the banquet hall reached outside the door.
It was a mess.
Another servant looked at Shen Hongyuan inquiringly: "This...does it need to be taken care of?"
Shen Hongyuan waved his hand: "Let him make a fuss."
This tone was not helpless and indulgent.
Instead, it was gloomy with a bit of getting what he wanted.
Let him make a fuss.
Just waiting for him to go crazy.
Several acquaintances of Chen Sheng came over.
Lu Ran finally let go of Gu Ningqi who almost took off his pants to prove himself.
Gu Ningqi hurriedly took a shower and changed his clothes.
But as he walked around the banquet, he always felt that people around him looked at him with strange eyes.
Sometimes they looked at his pants, sometimes at his face.
Shen Xingran followed behind Gu Ningqi, his forehead throbbing.
He even felt a little sympathy for Gu Ningqi.
Although... they were all treated like that by Lu Ran.
But Gu Ningqi was a little more miserable.
Because he was publicly executed!
At this time, someone familiar came up to say hello.
Looking at Shen Xingran and Gu Ningqi, he said, "You two...are you here to discuss marriage this time?"
It was different from the usual envious look.
Shen Xingran always felt that the way this person looked at him and Gu Ningqi was filled with...sympathy.
Shen Xingran suddenly felt uncomfortable.
This person was quite familiar with Shen Xingran.
After walking together for a while, he deliberately pulled Shen Xingran half a step behind, and whispered in his ear,
"Actually, it doesn't matter whether you are big or small, as long as you live well."
Shen Xingran: "..."
After this person finished speaking, he felt a little embarrassed, thinking that he seemed to have said nonsense.
If you are too young, it doesn't matter if you live well. He
immediately said, "If it really doesn't work...you should switch up and down."
Shen Xingran's face changed several times.
He has always been surrounded by stars and the moon in his life. When has he ever heard such words and suffered such expressions?
He couldn't help but said subconsciously: "Actually... the engagement hasn't been finalized yet..."
After saying that, he felt something was wrong.
He originally wanted to use Gu Ningqi to embarrass Lu Ran.
After Lu Ran yelled, everyone in the world knew that Gu Ningqi was not capable.
Even if he and Gu Ningqi got married in the future,
others would not think that they had entered the Gu family, but would think... Gu Ningqi was not capable.
Shen Xingran held his breath in his heart, neither superior nor inferior.
Lu Ran didn't care about that.
He was leading Chen Sheng and others to visit his room.
"You, you live here?"
Chen Sheng and others looked at the small servant's room and were amazed.
Not to mention the cloakroom and small living room, there was not even a private bathroom.
Lu Ran leaned against the door frame and glanced at him: "What do you know? It doesn't matter whether you live on the first floor or the second or third floor."
"When you want to cause trouble, hide the speakers upstairs. They will be shaken to death, and I will sleep soundly on the first floor. Isn't that good?"
Chen Sheng: "..."
These days are like a guerrilla war.
Chen Sheng wanted to say something, looked up at Lu Ran, but was stuck.
Lu Ran today was so stunning.
Even though they had witnessed with their own eyes how this man pushed someone into the toilet. When they
met Lu Ran's eyes at this moment, Chen Sheng and others were still a little embarrassed to look him in the face.
Chen Sheng also brought his little cousin here today.
This little cousin had only heard of Lu Ran's achievements and was very unconvinced, saying that if it were him, he would definitely not be afraid of Lu Ran.
But at this moment, this guy lowered his head, like a quail.
When walking out of Lu Ran's room, Chen Sheng was pulled by this kid.
He lowered his head and looked over.
The cousin glanced at Lu Ran, then lowered his head with a red face, and said to Chen Sheng:
"Brother, how can you say bad things about others casually? How could Brother Ran do what you said?"
As he said that, he turned around and glanced at the narrow servant's room, his eyes almost red.
"Brother Ran is so pitiful, he has always been bullied."
Chen Sheng: "..."
You haven't seen him stabbing someone with a toilet brush.
Gu Ningqi walked around and finally went to the chess and card room.
He wanted to leave directly.
But no, he had to hold on, if he held on, he would still have a chance to fight back. If he
couldn't hold on, then everyone's impression of him at the banquet today would be that short and small guy who crawled into the toilet.
If this got to his grandfather's ears,
he, the heir, would be dead.
The chess and card room was full of guests of status who didn't like noise, and they hadn't heard of the "rumors" outside yet.
People inside were still discussing some serious topics.
This made Gu Ningqi breathe a sigh of relief.
The guests in the chess and card room were of a different level from those outside, and they were more informed.
When they saw Gu Ningqi, they just nodded, their attitude was polite but not very warm.
To them, no matter how famous Gu Ningqi was, he was just a junior.
Besides, the Gu family's affairs were still uncertain.
Someone talked about the protagonist of today's banquet:
"The Shen family is really something. They haven't made any moves in fifteen years, and now they are in a hurry to recognize the person back."
"You don't understand this."
The person who spoke had some status in the business circle. He didn't say much, just said, "Let me remind you, be polite to the young master who just came back from the Shen family."
"What do you mean? He's just a kid in his teens?"
Someone asked, but the man smoked a cigar and refused to say anything more.
He didn't say anything, but someone couldn't hold back and said,
"I heard that this young master was with the Ji family that day?"
"Who? Could it be Ji Min?"
As soon as this was said, a stone stirred up a thousand waves.
The gossipers spread the story vividly:
"He was sitting in a wheelchair, holding the child, and the blanket covered him tightly..."
Gu Ningqi listened for a while and finally understood.
No wonder Lu Ran looked down on him and spread rumors that he was not good enough.
So he was having an affair with Ji Min?
Gu Ningqi was scolded by Lu Ran, and he was just unhappy.
Besides, he didn't like Ji Min very much.
The Gu family and the Ji family are very close, and they are also related by marriage.
Gu Ningqi and Ji Min are strictly speaking the same generation.
However, as a peer, Ji Min has long been the head of the Ji family, in charge of a huge group, and has the final say.
Gu Ningqi is still just an heir under investigation.
No matter how satisfied Grandpa Gu is with Ji Min, he often nags them.
Gu Ningqi can be said to have grown up under the shadow of Ji Min.
At this moment, he heard the discussion of the crowd and couldn't help revealing a trace of malice:
"Ji Min? This person is really good at finding, can a disabled Ji Min do it?"
Can he do it, and in what way.
The man in the chess and card room understood immediately.
Since Ji Min became disabled, this rumor has never ceased.
There has been no one around him, which inevitably led to malicious speculation.
Ji Min's methods were cold and harsh.
Those who got his help really believed in him, but those who couldn't stand him really couldn't stand him.
Seeing someone start a conversation, someone else joined in:
"His legs are disabled, there's nothing we can do."
"He looks like this, strictly speaking, he's not even a man, it's normal that he has a bad temper."
Lu Ran led Chen Sheng and others to the game hall next door.
Just as they passed by the chess and card room.
The room was filled with mocking laughter, which was heard clearly.
Lu Ran stopped and looked at the door in front of him.
He heard that the people inside were laughing at Ji Min.
At this moment, he didn't know why.
Lu Ran suddenly thought of the man in the wheelchair, stretching his arm to reach the folder on the top shelf of the cabinet.
His expression was indifferent, without any ferocity, nor did he get angry at others.
Behind such a calm and unmoved look, he didn't know how much ridicule he had endured.
Just because of a car accident, just because he was in a wheelchair.
So when people mentioned him, the first thing they thought of was not his outstanding ability.
But these messy things.
Chen Sheng and others walked to the game room.
Seeing that Lu Ran hadn't come over yet, he leaned over and called out, "Brother Ran, what are you doing standing there?"
Lu Ran turned to look at him, but his hand was on the door handle of the chess and card room.
He smiled at Chen Sheng and said, "You guys play first, I have work to do."
Then he pushed the door and entered the chess and card room.
Outside the villa, Shen Hongyuan finally waited for the person he was waiting for.
The extended version of the business car slowly stopped.
All the eyes at the banquet were cast over at the same time, followed by whispers and surprises.
Today...
the Gu family and the Ji family are actually here?
Gu Ningqi did it for Shen Xingran. As for
the Ji family...
after the car door was opened, the wheelchair drove down the barrier-free stairs.
Everyone's surprise was even higher. The person
who came was actually Ji Min himself!
Shen Hongyuan hurriedly went to greet him: "Boss Ji, you are finally here, hurry up..."
He subconsciously pushed Ji Min's wheelchair.
But he was stopped by Ji Min's eyes.
Ji Min glanced at him and looked behind him.
No one was there.
Shen Hongyuan withdrew his hand embarrassedly. He immediately understood who Ji Min was looking for and smiled lovingly, "The child is playful and can't stay outside, so I let him in."
Ji Min withdrew his gaze, leaned back on the back of the wheelchair, and chuckled lightly, "He's good at hiding."
Listening carefully, there was a hint of gnashing teeth in his voice.
Butler Chen behind him couldn't hold back and laughed.
Shen Hongyuan didn't understand what the master and servant were laughing at. He
could only laugh along and lead the two people inside.
Ji Min's face was so cold that ice chips could fall off.
The fingers holding the wheelchair remote control secretly exerted force.
He rushed here right after the board meeting. He
was waiting to hold someone accountable.
He wanted to ask a kid what he was talking about in the office.
He wanted to know if he wanted his salary.
After he entered the room, he glanced around and didn't see Lu Ran.
He glanced again.
He saw the adopted son of the Shen family hiding in the corner with a stiff face.
There were also several people with hurt expressions on their faces.
Butler Chen whispered behind him, "It seems that Xiao Ran can't stand being wronged even if you don't come."
Ji Min snorted coldly and emphasized, "I'm here to hold someone accountable." Butler
Chen smiled but said nothing.
I don't know who urged the driver to drive faster on the road.
For fear of being late.
After Shen Hongyuan asked the waiter, he came over and said, "Xiao Ran is in the chess and card room."
Shen Hongyuan led Ji Min to the chess and card room.
The chess and card room was on the second floor, but it was inconvenient for Ji Min to sit in a wheelchair, so he had to go around to the back to take the elevator.
It was a bit quiet around the elevator.
Many people were talking quietly in the corridor.
"It's really amazing, who would have thought he could say that."
"Didn't you see Gu Ningqi's face, it turned red and white in an instant."
"So this is true?"
"And he stretched out his hand and pulled off the wig piece."
"The man ran away without saying a word, covering his forehead."
Ji Min listened all the way.
It is reasonable to suspect that this is all someone's achievement.
Shen Hongyuan listened and apologized with guilt: "The child has a naughty personality."
Ji Min glanced at him and said nothing.
Shen Hongyuan immediately lowered his eyes.
There was a flash of calculation in his eyes.
Shen Hongyuan cares about his face and hates to make a scandal when doing things at home.
But today, someone embarrassed Lu Ran at the banquet, and he condoned it.
Even Gu Ningqi was invited by him on purpose.
Shen Hongyuan's eyes were distant.
He never thought that Lu Ran could get close to Ji Min.
If it was Shen Xingran who got close to Ji Min, Shen Hongyuan wanted to beat the gongs and drums to send that person over.
At worst, Shen Xingyu and Shen Xingzhuo's two sons would do.
But why Lu Ran?
If Lu Ran and Ji Min get too close, things will easily get out of control, which is not what Shen Hongyuan wants to see.
But he is not too worried.
It seems that Mr. Ji is just fascinated by Lu Ran's appearance and does not know what he will be like when he goes crazy.
Let this Mr. Ji, who is rumored to be very polite and has a slight cleanliness obsession, take a good look. He
will probably not be interested in that madman.
So Shen Hongyuan specially invited Gu Ningqi.
He knew that Shen Xingran and Gu Ningqi would not give up and would definitely make trouble for Lu Ran.
What he wants is someone to provoke Lu Ran and make him crazy.
It would be best if he is so crazy that Ji Min would immediately stay away from him when he sees him!
Out of the elevator.
As soon as he approached the chess and card room, he saw a crowd of people blocking the room.
The young man's clear and arrogant voice rang out:
"You are the one who said that others are not good enough? How can you, a short and small thing, have the nerve to say that about others?"
Shen Hongyuan was shocked. Here he
comes!
He is starting to go crazy!
It's time to let Ji Min see Lu Ran's true face!
Shen Hongyuan pretended to be in a hurry and squeezed in quickly, and also blocked the people blocking the room
for Ji Min. Just so that Ji Min can see the scene clearly!
As soon as Ji Min came over, he found something wrong.
The people blocking the room outside the chess and card room all saluted him with a strange look.
This look was so familiar.
Ji Min was startled and looked up at the chess and card room.
The door of the chess and card room was half open.
I just happened to see the young man's profile.
He was wearing a dark gold couture, with his chin up and his nose slightly wrinkled.
A willful arrogance was revealed when he first arrived.
With this shining and reserved look, he said: "Huh, Ji Min is amazing, once a night, once a night, understand?"
He pointed at Gu Ningqi and said:
"How dare you say that about him? Do you know the difference between Enoki mushrooms and King Oyster Mushrooms?"
"He's bigger than King Oyster Mushrooms. You? Enoki mushrooms are longer than you!"
