Chapter 65 But

Mrs. Shen finished speaking.

Lu Ran did not reply, nor was he angry.

There was only a moment of silence in the living room.

Mrs. Shen looked at Lu Ran in front of her and felt a little uncomfortable.

These days, she had mixed feelings about Lu Ran.

On the one hand, she did not expect that her son, whom she despised, actually had a connection with the Ji family.

And although she was unwilling to admit it, it seemed that this child was not as unpresentable as she thought.

On the other hand, she was bombarded by many rich ladies yesterday.

Some people accused her of not caring about Lu Ran.

And some people who were not clear about the relationship between Lu Ran and her, when they met, asked about her well-being and congratulated her on finally finding the lost child.

These people's congratulations were solemn and serious, and even a little exaggerated in Mrs. Shen's eyes.

As she responded with a stiff face, she suddenly felt self-doubt in her heart...

Could it be... that she really didn't care enough about Lu Ran?

At this moment, she made such a request to Lu Ran, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

One moment she blamed Lu Ran for not knowing what was good for him and not agreeing.

The next moment she felt that Shen Xingran was really ignorant this time, and actually let her, as a mother, make such an impolite request to her son.

At this time, Shen Hongyuan also came down from the upstairs.

He also heard what Mrs. Shen said downstairs, and he helped in a calm voice: "Your mother is right, now that you are home, you have to consider everything for the family. Bring President Ji home some other day, or take Ranran to visit President Ji's place."

As he spoke, he walked to the sofa and sat down, and lit a cigarette for himself.

Lu Ran glanced at them and walked to the bathroom with the dog.

The first thing he did when he got home was to go to the bathroom to get a towel for the dog to wipe its feet.

Shen Hongyuan and others didn't take it seriously, nor did they care about Lu Ran's reaction.

He even turned to Shen Xingran and said, "He will definitely not agree at once, just try a few more times."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ran came out of the bathroom with a trash can in his hand.

The toilet on the first floor is basically only used by servants, and it is not equipped with a fully automatic smart toilet.

Therefore, someone needs to empty the paper basket every day.

Mrs. Shen and others thought that Lu Ran was going to take out the trash this time.

But they saw Lu Ran carrying the trash can and walking towards them step by step.

"Wow".

Baskets of toilet paper fell on the three people's heads and faces.

"Ah!" Mrs. Shen screamed and jumped up from the sofa.

Shen Hongyuan was still smoking. He waved his hand to hit the toilet paper and accidentally lit it.

The burning toilet paper fell on his pants, and he jumped up with a "wow" and was in a panic.

Shen Xingran couldn't dodge it. He stood up and hit it several times, and finally took out a few dirty paper balls from the hood of his clothes.

The servants standing next to him were stunned.

Uh...

this paper...isn't it the one they used to go to the toilet?

The living room was suddenly in chaos.

Lu Ran stood aside with an empty paper basket.

He was smart this time and put a new garbage bag on his hand.

His hands and sleeves were not dirty at all.

He smiled and looked at the three people who were jumping on the spot.

Suddenly, he exclaimed "Ah" as if he remembered something, looked at Mrs. Shen, and said:

"When you talk about fairness with me, I remember that you seem to owe me 1 billion."

"As for Ji Min..."

Lu Ran shook the paper basket and smiled: "You can go if you want. I will treat you well when I see you."

The words "treat you well" scared Mrs. Shen and the other two so much that their faces turned green.

After Lu Ran left.

Mrs. Shen felt something was wrong behind her. She reached out and pulled, and actually peeled off a bloody sanitary napkin from her back.

Mrs. Shen collapsed.

She pointed at Shen Xingran and Shen Hongyuan and yelled, "I told you why you bothered him! Have you forgotten what he can do?"

Lu Ran didn't take it to heart. He wasn't

angry either.

He had long understood the nature of the Shen family.

It was really Schrödinger's fairness.

It wasn't until the next morning that he went to Ji Min's office.

When he saw Ji Min, he suddenly remembered this matter.

Lu Ran wanted to remind him that Shen Xingran would probably come back to see him during this period.

But when he was about to say it, he felt something was weird.

He and Shen Xingran were not getting along, and Ji Min should know about it.

What did he want Ji Min to do by saying this to him now?

Not to see Shen Xingran?

Making such a request... Why does it seem even weirder?

Ji Min is just his boss.

How can an employee ask his boss not to see this or that?

Ji Min looked up and saw Lu Ran frowning and standing there for a long time.

He said calmly, "I'll ask someone to bring a piece of glass to seal it for you later."

"Huh?" Lu Ran didn't understand what he was talking about at all.

Seeing that he finally came to his senses, Ji Min raised his chin towards the door frame and said, "You've been standing there without moving. I thought you wanted to be embedded in it as an oil painting."

Lu Ran: "..."

He suddenly understood. If

Shen Xingran wants to come, let him come.

With Ji Min's bad temper, it's hard to say what will happen when he comes.

But he remembered another thing and reminded, "School is about to start for me."

If Lu Ran remembered correctly, the job that Ji Min gave him seemed to be just a short-term part-time job

during the vacation. It would end when he started school.

Even if it didn't end, Lu Ran would be busy with his courses and would not have time to follow Ji Min like now.

Speaking of this, Ji Min was also slightly stunned.

Realizing that the children's vacation was about to end.

No one spoke in the office for a while.

Da Huang nestled obediently on his little mattress.

Lu Ran also walked slowly to the small table and sat down, taking out the books he brought in his bag.

The air outlet of the air conditioner slowly sent out warm air.

The humidifier was also working.

The originally quiet and silent instruments seemed to become particularly noisy at this moment.

Lu Ran flipped through the pages of the book in his hand.

The instructor in his laboratory was very perverted and actually wanted to conduct a preliminary test at the beginning of the school year.

He had to start reviewing now.

But Lu Ran was a little distracted at the moment.

He was thinking about his "work".

Although his boss Ji Min had a weird temper, sometimes spoke in a weird way, often confronted him, and had bad intentions towards him.

But he was honest and generous. He

also helped him a lot.

And this job was not busy, but it required some acting skills.

And it also required some face.

Lu Ran suddenly worried about Ji Min's "reputation" after he left.

After all, this was the "kingdom" he had built recently!

But then he thought, with Ji Min's status, even if he was not there, there should be plenty of people willing to play the role of the "ex-boyfriend", right?

I just don't know if they can play it as well as him.

And if they can praise it as sincerely as he does.

Lu Ran had a lot of random thoughts in his mind.

He didn't read a single word of the book in his hand.

For a moment, he couldn't tell whether he was regretting the loss of such a well-paid job.

Or was he worried about Ji Min's future reputation.

While thinking, Lu Ran suddenly heard a sigh from the opposite side.

He looked up and saw the man behind the desk, stroking his forehead with his fingers, staring at him with raised eyebrows and sighing: "The book is upside down."

Lu Ran lowered his head and found that it was true.

He was not embarrassed, and said "Oh" and turned the book over.

"Study hard." Ji Min said.

Lu Ran had heard Ji Min say this many times. At first, he thought this boss was amazing that his only requirement for him was to study.

Later, when he learned that Ji Min had "evil intentions" towards him, he couldn't help but sigh that this man's evil intentions were quite special.

At this moment, when Lu Ran heard this, his thoughts were inexplicably unified with those of his peers, and he felt a little annoyed.

Study, study, study all day long.

Ji Min looked away from the boy opposite him and looked at the gray, ordinary filing cabinet beside him.

After a long silence, he said in a compromising manner: "If you don't study well and fail the exam, I will fire you."

"Ah?" Lu Ran raised his head to look at him.

After understanding the meaning behind his words, he said, "I have classes and experiments to do, so time is tight..."

Before he finished speaking, the man in the wheelchair suddenly turned his head and looked at him.

Ji Min didn't want Lu Ran to continue this "job" at first.

What's the point of making a fuss when school starts?

But seeing the child fiddling with his fingers absentmindedly, he softened his heart for some reason.

He said that compromising word.

Ji Min was still upset just now.

Now hearing the excuses in Lu Ran's words, he actually felt a little unhappy again.

He stared at people with cold black eyes and sneered, "You have time to do other part-time jobs, but don't have time to do my job?"

Lu Ran: "..."

After saying this, Ji Min also noticed that the tone was wrong.

Sure enough, when he saw Lu Ran, he looked at him with a familiar look and sighed.

Ji Min: "..."

Then the man seemed to have thought of something, bent down and picked up his bag. He

took out a set of clothes from it.

It was the same set he wore from Ji Min's villa yesterday.

Now it has been washed and neatly stacked together.

Lu Ran took the clothes, stood up from his seat, walked to Ji Min's desk, and put the clothes down.

He looked at Ji Min with an "I understand" expression and said, "Don't buy clothes for me in the future."

Hearing this, Ji Min was enlightened.

He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Yesterday you thought I liked you just because of that whole closet of clothes?"

Lu Ran nodded generously and added, "And shoes."

Ji Min had been holding it in for almost a whole day, and now he finally felt that he could get back on track.

He laughed briefly, "Huh? That's it?"

Lu Ran blinked at him.

Ji Min clarified everything, "Don't be so self-indulgent. I bought clothes not because I like you, but..."

The clarification got stuck on the word "but".

Ji Min said "but" for a long time, but couldn't find a decent reason.

It seemed that there was no reason.

At first, Ji Min didn't prepare clothes specifically.

But last night, when he heard the child say, "I don't want to get my clothes dirty," he remembered that he was at the banquet wearing that high-heeled dress, like a little peacock flapping its tail.

For some unknown reason, Ji Min made a phone call and had someone send him a whole closet of clothes, accessories and shoes.

The order was urgent.

It was just delivered when they returned to the villa.

As time went by, the boy looked at him with a strange look in his eyes again.

It seemed as if he was saying, "Don't make excuses anymore. Look, you just like me."

Ji Min finally managed to utter, "It's just... work clothes."

"Huh?" Lu Ran was a little surprised.

Ji Min suddenly understood why Lu Ran could talk nonsense so smoothly in public.

After making up a sentence, the rest began to flow naturally: "You are my 'ex-boyfriend', so your clothes must be in line with your identity."

"Ah!" Lu Ran suddenly realized.

It seemed to make sense.

Ji Min: "..."

He thought, although this kid is difficult to deal with, he is surprisingly easy to deceive.

Then he continued, "You've started school, and I want to renew your contract for the same reason. The position of 'ex-boyfriend' can't be changed casually."

Lu Ran thought about it and felt that it was true.

Wouldn't it be exposed if he kept changing people?

Ji Min thought that his refusal was so obvious that this guy would be a little embarrassed.

The story was so outrageous that a normal person would have some doubts.

Who would have thought that there was none.

The man returned to his seat leisurely, and seemed to be relieved.

After thinking for a while, he said to him, "I thought you had a reason to like me."

"Any other reasons?" Ji Min asked with a frown.

Lu Ran looked up at him and said, "You even like Zhang Lin, so isn't it normal for you to like me?"

Ji Min was stunned for a long time after hearing this.

He thought about it seriously and asked, "Who is Zhang Lin?"

But after asking, he found that the boy opposite him looked at him with that indescribable expression again:

"Don't pretend, you took advantage of me while I was sleeping and you pretended you didn't remember."

Ji Min: "..."

Only then did he think of his most embarrassing experience.

He took a deep breath and was about to tell the kid to stop talking nonsense.

There was a knock on the office door.

Both of them stopped talking immediately.

Ji Min paused before saying, "Come in."

The office door opened, and the assistant came in with a cell phone, saying, "It's Dr. Camilleri's call."

"Yeah." Ji Min responded and reached out to take the phone.

The moment he reached out, he glanced at the boy opposite him inconspicuously.

Lu Ran had already lowered his head to read a book.

From the moment the assistant came in and spoke in a businesslike tone, the annoying and funny atmosphere in the office receded like a tide.

The usual cold workplace atmosphere was restored.

In contrast, Ji Min suddenly realized that

he had been arguing with a child for a long time on the question of "Do you like me?" in a normal working situation.

This made Ji Min suddenly feel a little uncomfortable.

The assistant reminded him, "The doctor asked you when you will have time for the surgery."

Hearing the assistant's words, Lu Ran's ears perked up.
