Chapter 61: Support your back

Silence.

Absolute silence.

In this silence, someone quietly took out his mobile phone and searched what the complete king oyster mushroom looks like.

Ji·King oyster mushroom·Min just stayed where he was.

Shen Hongyuan was also stunned.

Why is the direction of this madness... so different from others?

The boy inside the door was still outputting.

He scolded Gu Ningqi until his face turned blue, and then pointed at an old man next to him: "What's wrong with him sitting in a wheelchair?"

"He is more powerful than you guys who are on your feet when he sits in a wheelchair."

"After one night, I have to ask for leave the next day."

"..."

Outside the door.

The man in the wheelchair took a deep breath.

Then he slowly exhaled.

The rise and fall of his chest was very obvious.

Finally, he couldn't help it, raised his broad palm, and covered his face.

He pressed his knuckles on his forehead.

The pale skin behind his ears turned red inch by inch.

He didn't know whether it was out of anger or annoyance.

A group of people stared at him with their eyes wide open.

It seemed that they were thinking with their eyes how this man could torture people in a wheelchair so much that they couldn't get out of bed the next day.

Even Butler Chen couldn't help but cast a surprised look at Ji Min.

The most helpless one was Shen Hongyuan.

He stood beside Ji Min, and all the words he had prepared were choked in his stomach.

Is Lu Ran crazy?

Yes.

But the effect...

why is it different from what he expected?

His original intention was to let Ji Min see Lu Ran's true face.

Then he felt disgusted and stayed away from him!

But now...

Which man would hate to be praised for his own strength?

Shen Hongyuan moved his lips, but he didn't know what to say.

Finally, he uttered: "Ha! Ha! Ji, President Ji is really a young man to be feared."

Ji Min: "..."

As soon as he put down his hand, he met Shen Hongyuan's eyes.

He suddenly remembered that although he was very incompetent, the man in front of him was indeed Lu Ran's father.

Thinking about the words that just came out of the child's mouth.

Ji Min felt uncomfortable and embarrassed for the first time.

He felt like a hooligan who played with other people's sons but was caught by the parents.

But he obviously did nothing.

Inside the door, Lu Ran was still talking.

He was seriously praising how great he was.

If possible, Ji Min even wanted to rush in and kneel down in front of him. He wanted

to shout: Ancestor, please shut up.

But now, it seemed that even controlling the wheelchair remotely was a difficult task.

"Ahem..." Ji Min cleared his throat.

He wanted to explain that these were all children's nonsense.

When the words came to his lips, he felt that he would be more like an irresponsible thing.

In the end, he gave up and simply leaned back in the chair, pretending that he heard nothing.

Shen Hongyuan sighed in his heart when he saw this.

Sure enough!

Look at how beautiful this man is!

I don't know if Ji Min is beautiful in his heart.

In the chess and card room, watching Lu Ran, who was engaged to him, constantly boasting about another man's prowess.

And when he mentioned himself, he just called him "Enoki mushrooms".

Gu Ningqi couldn't sit still.

"Lu Ran, are you shameless!"

Don't even mention the word "Enoki mushrooms" to him!

His face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. He stood up suddenly and raised his hand to grab Lu Ran's wrist.

He was about to take action.

Ji Min's face darkened.

He controlled the wheelchair remotely and completely pushed open the door of the chess and card room and went in.

As soon as this heavy black electric wheelchair appeared.

The chess and card room was silent again.

This time, it was not a shocked silence.

It was a frightened silence.

Gossip was only dared to be talked about behind his back.

When Ji Min appeared, the anger on the faces of some of the gossipers disappeared.

Gu Ningqi was also stunned.

He met Ji Min's dark eyes, and the strength in his hands loosened subconsciously.

"Lu Ran, come here." Ji Min said in a light voice.

His tone was not heavy, even light.

But Gu Ningqi loosened his hand instantly, and took a step back with some shudder.

The boy's eyes lit up when he saw Ji Min.

He hid behind his wheelchair swiftly.

Ji Min looked around the room, his eyes paused on Gu Ningqi.

He stretched out his hand to the boy behind him.

"What for?" Lu Ran didn't understand, and asked with his head tilted.

"Hand." The man was concise.

Lu Ran pondered for a while before realizing that he wanted to see the hand that had just been grabbed.

"It doesn't hurt." Lu Ran said.

Ji Min glanced at him and did not withdraw his hand.

The boy then handed his hand over obediently.

There was no trace of the arrogance that he had just shown when "debating with the scholars" and "arguing with reason".

Inside and outside the chess and card room, everyone saw the man's pale finger bones holding up the boy's wrist. He

examined it carefully with wrinkled brows, as if he was examining a fragile work of art.

He unbuttoned the obsidian cufflinks, lifted the cuffs of his silk shirt, and confirmed that there were no bruises on the milky white skin underneath.

Only then did he carefully wrap the wrist.

He gently smoothed the wrinkles on the cuffs with his fingertips, and finally let go.

He didn't say much. He

just looked at Gu Ningqi quietly and said, "I will give Mr. Gu good advice on your assessment of your heir."

With just these words, Gu Ningqi's face turned pale in an instant.

Everyone understood the meaning of these words and felt sad.

Gu Ningqi considers himself the heir

of the Gu family, but in fact he has not passed the assessment yet? Could it be that Ji Min can intervene in the assessment of the heir of the Gu family? He

ignored the other people in the room.

Ji Min leaned back in his chair and released the remote control of the wheelchair with his fingers.

He glanced at the boy behind him and said, "Go out for a walk."

Lu Ran immediately understood and pushed the wheelchair out.

Out of the chess and card room.

The guests wandering in the hall outside were stunned for a moment when they saw someone pushing Ji Min's wheelchair out.

Everyone knows that the head of the Ji family has a strange temper and hates others touching his wheelchair the most.

Looking again, the person standing behind him is actually the young master of the Shen family who was just adopted as a family member.

Everyone was surprised again.

Some people came over spontaneously.

Butler Chen knew that Ji Min didn't like socializing, so he went to greet him.

Ji Min completely ignored the outside eyes.

His mind was now full of the fierce words he had just heard.

King abalone mushrooms and enoki mushrooms were flying everywhere.

In the short term, he might not want to see these two ingredients on the table at all.

Suppressing the heat rising behind his ears.

Ji Min resisted the urge to hold his forehead and slightly turned his eyes to look at the boy behind him.

He thought he would see the child embarrassed to the point of being ashamed...

but Lu Ran was humming a song while pushing him away.

It was impossible to tell what explosive thing he had just done or what nonsense he had said.

Even Ji Min was confused by his attitude. He

began to reflect on himself.

Was he too startled?

Then Ji Min thought of how Lu Ran once calmly rinsed a cup in the toilet.

For a moment, he thought that Lu Ran's current reaction was normal.

Even if one day, this kid turned the sky upside down, he

would probably be like this.

Lu Ran really didn't feel anything.

Not only that, he was very excited.

He didn't expect that his hard work and serious performance outside would be seen by his boss.

I wonder if Ji Min will be kind enough to give him a promotion and a raise.

Since he is already an "ex-boyfriend", there is no need for a promotion.

But a raise is possible!

Ji Min looked up and met the child's bright eyes.

The sentence "He is bigger than the king oyster mushroom" flashed through his mind again. He

suddenly felt uncomfortable.

He coughed softly, suppressed his voice and asked coldly: "What are you looking at me for?"

"Boss, don't you have any expression?" Lu Ran tried to hint?

What expression?

If you want to accuse someone, you have to find a quiet place where there are no people.

There are so many people around, what can he say?

Ji Min pressed his forehead lightly: "Push your wheelchair well."

He pointed to the corridor and signaled: "Go there."

Lu Ran looked at him for a while and found that he really had no intention of giving him a raise. He

immediately cursed him in his heart.

His interest in work also dropped greatly. He leaned on the back of the wheelchair and pushed forward bit by bit.

Ji Min: "..."

"Are you a turtle?" he asked.

"Your wheelchair is too heavy." Lu Ran muttered.

Ji Min comforted himself by not being angry.

He would wait until he was in a place where no one was around before he started to blame him.

He would teach this kid a lesson on how to talk. Unexpectedly

, before they entered the corridor, they were stopped again.

It was Shen Hongyuan with Mrs. Shen.

Both of them looked unhappy.

One's carefully crafted plan failed, but he still had to pretend to be a kind father.

The other was judged for a long time with strange eyes by the ladies coming and going at the banquet, and now he didn't know how to face Lu Ran at all.

In the end, Shen Hongyuan said to Ji Min with a stiff smile: "I have to take Xiao Ran there."

After all, the banquet was held to introduce Lu Ran.

Now that all the guests have arrived, there has to be a formality for the protagonist to officially show up.

Lu Ran was still holding the armrest on the back of Ji Min's wheelchair.

He looked up at the crowd of people in the banquet hall, then looked down at Ji Min.

The man in the wheelchair was gloomy and quiet.

Although he was disabled, he miraculously gave people an indescribable sense of security.

"Then I'll go over?" Lu Ran asked.

"Go ahead." Ji Min nodded at him.

Lu Ran followed Shen Hongyuan and Mrs. Shen out of the corridor and into the banquet hall.

He looked back again.

Ji Min's wheelchair was still in the same place, with silent encouragement in his dark eyes.

Lu Ran, Shen Hongyuan, and Mrs. Shen stood on the round platform in the center of the banquet.

Shen Hongyuan picked up the microphone and gave a formal speech.

He said that he was sad that his little son was lost, and he was happy when he found the child.

Lu Ran was impatient to listen.

He reached out and snatched the microphone from Shen Hongyuan.

Then, he swept his eyes over the dazed people in the audience.

His eyes swept over the people who wanted to cause trouble to him today but were driven away by him.

He looked at Gu Ningqi, who had a pale face but was trying hard not to fall down.

And Shen Xingran, who was smiling stiffly beside him.

And Shen Hongyuan, who was trying hard to look like a kind father, was beside him.

There was also Mrs. Shen who was obviously uneasy.

Lu Ran stood on the stage and suddenly smiled.

He said: "I am Lu Ran, also Shen Xingran. I'm back."

As he said this, some people's faces changed again.

But Lu Ran had already thrown the microphone, jumped off the stage, and walked towards the corridor.

Ji Min's wheelchair had already left the corridor.

Zheng was standing at the edge of the main hall, watching him from a distance.

Lu Ran walked over and slowly pushed Ji Min back to the corridor.

The corridor was very long.

Lu Ran pushed for a while and suddenly felt a little tired.

He stopped, shook his hands and complained: "Your wheelchair is really heavy to push."

​​For the first time in his life, Ji Min did not fight back.

He did not say anything, just sat in the wheelchair, quietly looking at the boy in front of him.

The other end of the corridor is connected to the lobby.

The laughter and joy in the lobby continued to spread in, mixed with the voices of Shen Hongyuan and Mrs. Shen communicating with the guests.

Occasionally, Lu Ran's name was mentioned.

The sound gradually became lighter and slower as it passed through the long and quiet corridor.

It was like the distorted background sound in a movie.

It made the corridor even quieter.

The young man in expensive haute couture put down his arms and calmed down.

He untied the puppy's leash and let the puppy go to the backyard to play.

He didn't care either, he just pulled a piece of paper to cushion it, and sat on the lid of the trash can by the corridor window.

The lights in the corridor were not particularly bright.

The cold and dim light shone down, and even the golden glitter in his hair lost its luster.

Amid the distant greetings of Shen Hongyuan and Mrs. Shen.

He just sat casually on the lid of the trash can, staring at the pool in the backyard. There

was no water in the pool.

Because he was afraid that the naughty children in the guest room would accidentally fall in.

But it was decorated very beautifully, with a circle of balloons and colored lights around the pool.

The boy looked at the pool quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, the man's deliberately lowered voice rang: "Why are you unhappy?"

The cold voice floated softly in the corridor, inexplicably exuding a sense of tenderness.

Lu Ran's eyelashes fell.

"No." He said, "Everyone is back, there is nothing to be angry about."

He just felt a little tired for some reason.

Ji Min looked at the child in front of him.

He had just been debating with a group of scholars at the banquet, defeating everyone with a single sentence.

Making everyone pale.

He had obviously won a great victory.

But in the blink of an eye, it was as if all the candies had been taken away, and he sat quietly in the corner. He

was filled with loss.

Ji Min was originally going to pull the boy over to question him.

Looking at the boy's appearance, he thought, forget it, it's just a small matter, we can talk about it later.

Da Huang came back from the backyard with a "tick-tick-tick".

Lu Ran jumped down from the trash can, squatted down, took out a hand puppet, and wiped the puppy's feet.

He seemed to have coaxed himself in an instant. He

looked up at Ji Min and smiled: "Actually, this is a good thing. I finally managed to do this by relying on the power of others!"

Then he looked down at the puppy in front of him, pinched the puppy's paw pads, and corrected it:

"Ah, Da Huang also took advantage of the power of others."

He said these words frankly.

Ji Min followed and slightly curved his eyes.

A circle of gentle ripples appeared in his cold and quiet eyes.

Seeing that the child was about to play with the puppy.

He looked down at the time and said, "Come on, let's go somewhere."
