Chapter 73 Shen Xingyu

"But."

The boy's voice sounded again.

Ji Min retracted his gaze and glanced at the person in his arms.

He saw that the boy had already raised his body again.

One hand supported his shoulder, and the other hand touched his chin in thought.

"Well... but I still think you like me a little bit."

Ji Min: "..."

"I see you are already well."

He pinched the boy's wrist that was supported on his shoulder and shook it, "Get down from me."

Lu Ran: "..."

"But I still feel a little tired." He said in a rude manner.

"If you are tired, just crawl on the ground." Ji Min said coldly.

Lu Ran crawled down swearing.

He took back the words he had just praised him for being a good person.

What a bullshit, so fierce!

Seeing that he really seemed to be fine, Ji Min participated in the activities normally.

But there was a hint of thought between his eyebrows.

That night, Lu Ran thought for a while and left Da Huang with Ji Min.

When he returned to the Shen family, the lights in the living room of the Shen family had been turned off.

Lu Ran went around to the backyard to take a look.

He found that only the lights in the master bedroom where Mrs. Shen lived and Shen Xingran's bedroom on the third floor were on.

It seemed that Shen Xingyu had not come back.

Lu Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

The next morning, Lu Ran went to school as usual.

Once he got busy, he forgot about Shen Xingyu.

But since meeting Shen Xingyu, Lu Ran felt some dull pain in the joints of his hands and feet from time to time.

He was very familiar with this vague pain.

This pain had been bothering him during the ten years he lay in bed.

It is not accurate to say that it is entangled.

Perhaps it is more appropriate to say that it is comfort.

When he was just disabled and bedridden, there was a very responsible nurse by his side.

When Lu Ran cried out in pain in a fuzzy state of consciousness, the nurse called over.

After the doctor diagnosed it, he said that it was just a phantom pain in his brain.

Because at that time, he had lost all sensation in his limbs.

Even if he should have felt pain, he could not feel it.

His brain could not accept the fact of this disability, so it simulated this pain in an attempt to prove the existence of his limbs.

Lu Ran did not expect that this phantom pain would remain.

But this "disease" cannot be cured, so he can only try to ignore it.

Lu Ran's elective courses have begun to assign homework.

There was a nutrition teacher who was very picky and insisted that they make the recipes according to the ingredient indicators.

Lu Ran was so busy that he stayed in the laboratory in the evenings for several days in a row.

Until one day, the power outage in the laboratory, Lu Ran came back a little early.

He took Da Huang back to the Shen family villa and found something wrong.

There were rows of luxury cars parked outside the villa.

The gate of the villa was also specially decorated, and looking through the fence, the yard was also carefully decorated.

Lu Ran was very familiar with this scene.

The Shen family was holding a banquet again, but no one informed him.

Lu Ran raised his eyebrows, thinking that he was too busy recently and the Shen family was living too comfortably.

"Da Huang, there are delicious foods today, are you happy?"

Lu Ran gulped down two handfuls of dog heads and walked straight to the gate.

Seeing him coming back at this time, the two servants standing at the door were startled and hesitated.

After hesitating for a long time, one of them stood up tremblingly and said with an awkward smile: "Master Lu Ran, why did you come back so early today?"

Lu Ran raised his head and looked inside, and asked: "What are you doing?"

The servant hurriedly explained: "Nothing important..."

"Oh." Lu Ran yawned and asked in confusion, "So why can't I go in?"

The servant was silent, and the two of them roared in their hearts at the same time.

Why can't you go in? Don't you have any idea in your mind!

Do you want to go in and pour the toilet shredded trash on someone's head, or throw the dog poop on the dining table?

Or point at a distinguished guest and say that he is an enoki mushroom?

Haven't you noticed that since you returned to the Shen family, no one has invited you, a party killer, to a banquet!

But this is just what they think in their hearts.

Neither of them dared to say it out loud.

Today's banquet is really important. If Lu Ran is angered, he will crawl in front of the gate of the Shen family in a dark way.

Then no one will be alive.

The two servants looked at each other, and still silently opened the door for Lu Ran.

Lu Ran pretended not to see the expressions of the two people, and walked in with the dog on his leash.

The scale of this banquet was not large. It looked like a private party, and there were mostly young people around. As

soon as Lu Ran entered the door, he saw Shen Hongyuan and Mrs. Shen, personally accompanying someone to visit the garden.

The man was not very old, with a proud face. From a distance, he looked like a young master who had grown up in a pampered environment.

Lu Ran took a glance and found it a little strange.

Shen Hongyuan was usually snobbish, but he also had to save face. It was rare to see him treat a junior like this.

Lu Ran watched for a while, and then he heard Chen Sheng's voice from behind: "Brother Ran! You are here!"

He seemed to find it quite strange, and laughed: "Uncle Shen actually dared to let you in today!"

Lu Ran glanced at him and asked, "Who is that person?"

"The young master of the Fang family." Chen Sheng came over mysteriously, "I heard that he holds an important position in that H project."

Lu Ran understood immediately.

Recently, the Shen family and the Lino family have been competing for the HZ project.

Even if Lu Ran didn't deliberately inquire about it, he had heard some things by following Ji Min.

It seems that the Shen family is really determined to get this project.

They even did this kind of relationship-building thing.

It sounds like Shen Hongyuan's style.

Lu Ran retracted his gaze.

He has been following Ji Min recently and has learned a lot imperceptibly.

It is common for companies to compete for various large projects.

But Shen Xingyu's return to China for this purpose has made it clear that he attaches great importance to it. Shen Hongyuan seemed a little anxious to rush to entertain the Fang family.

It seemed that there was indeed some problem in the Shen family's company.

He could see it, and the people of the Lino family could see it too.

Shen Hongyuan did a stupid thing.

Lu Ran thought as he walked into the villa.

He was not interested in this banquet.

At present, he was not clear about Shen Hongyuan's purpose, and he was not prepared to make a surprise attack.

At this moment, he just wanted to eat something and go to bed quickly.

But just after taking two steps, someone grabbed his hat.

Shen Xingzhuo's gnashing voice rang out behind him:

"You still remember to go home? I thought you lived in that Ji's house!"

"I want to live there! His bed is so soft."

Lu Ran reached out and snatched his hat back.

Shen Xingzhuo was choked by him for a long time.

He stared at Lu Ran for a long time, his eyes almost popped out: "Bed?"

"Yes." Lu Ran nodded.

Shen Xingzhuo's lips trembled, picked up the coat beside him and was about to go out:

"That Ji guy has no shame, how old are you?"

Chen Sheng hurriedly stopped him: "Brother Zhuo, calm down, if you leave today, Uncle Shen will probably break your legs."

"I don't care."

Shen Xingzhuo shook him off and angrily went to find Ji Min to make trouble.

He was really angry recently.

On the day when Lu Ran was taken home, he failed to catch Lu Ran.

Later, he went home to block him several times, but failed every time.

Chen Sheng couldn't help but said: "But Brother Zhuo, even if you go there, you can't even get through the door of that person."

This sentence choked Shen Xingzhuo.

He really didn't have the identity to meet Ji Min.

Lu Ran looked at Shen Xingzhuo strangely:

"Even the bed in his guest room is softer than the one in Shen's house. What's the problem?"

Guest room, then there's no problem.

Shen Xingzhuo snorted, ignored Lu Ran, returned to his seat, and opened a bottle of wine by himself.

Chen Sheng looked left and right, and quickly tried to smooth things over: "Brother Ran, you don't know that Brother Zhuo prepared for a long time on the day you went home, and brought a big box of gifts!"

"What gifts?" Lu Ran turned his head and asked.

Shen Xingzhuo reached out to take some snacks to tease Da Huang, and said unhappily, "It's gone a long time ago."

After that, he pricked up his ears to listen to Lu Ran's reaction.

In the past, Shen Xingzhuo and Shen Xingran would also have some small quarrels.

He was used to making some small jokes and waiting for Shen Xingran to hug his arm and say a few nice words.

Now he is still used to this attitude.

But this time, after waiting for a long time, there was no response.

Shen Xingzhuo turned his head and saw that Lu Ran had already run away with the dog.

It seemed that he had no interest in the gift he prepared.

"Hey! If you run again, you really can't have it!" Shen Xingzhuo couldn't help but yelled.

Lu Ran ignored him.

Da Huang followed Lu Ran and ran on the lawn.

When Mr. Fang, who was following Shen Hongyuan, saw Da Huang, he immediately wrinkled his nose with some disgust.

He looked arrogant and spoiled, and said bluntly: "Why do you still have a dog at home? It won't pee or poop on the lawn."

After saying this, the three Shen family members who followed him were silent.

This dog doesn't poop on the lawn, and Lu Ran usually cleans it up.

But...

never mind, let's not talk about it.

Shen Xingran heard the disgust in his words, and hurriedly said: "This is... my brother's dog, I'm going to drive it out now."

Hearing this, the young master Fang was stunned and looked at him in confusion:

"Ah? Are you going to throw this dog away? Isn't this your dog? How can you abandon it?"

Shen Xingran's smile froze.

Shen Hongyuan turned his head and looked at him, his eyes slightly gloomy: "What are you talking about? Just go and watch over there and don't let the dog come over."

Shen Xingran pursed her lips.

Mrs. Shen secretly comforted him: "Today's matter is too important, you just listen first."

"Mom, I know." Shen Xingran responded and stepped back slightly.

But when he saw Shen Hongyuan staring at Lu Ran next to him, his mood improved a little.

Shen Xingran knew how much Shen Hongyuan valued this party.

After Shen Xingyu returned to China, Shen Hongyuan secretly competed with his eldest son.

The board of directors voted that year and gave the position of CEO to Shen Xingyu.

Shen Hongyuan was cheerful outside and said that he was proud of his son, but after the mid-life crisis, he became more concerned about such things.

Shen Xingyu has been staying abroad in recent years, while Shen Hongyuan has always been in the country.

If Shen Xingyu had to step in to get this domestic project, Shen Hongyuan would lose all face.

So this time, Shen Hongyuan finally invited this Young Master Fang, hoping to get in touch with the Fang family and get this project done by himself.

If Lu Ran messes up this banquet, it will be a big scene.

Neither Shen Hongyuan nor Shen Xingyu will let him go.

Shen Hongyuan specially inquired about Lu Ran's schedule this time and chose today to host a banquet for Young Master Fang.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ran actually came back, and he really knew how to walk into the muzzle of a gun.

As Shen Xingran expected, after a while, he saw Shen Hongyuan talking to Young Master Fang about something, and then turned around and walked towards Lu Ran.

Shen Xingran immediately followed.

He thought Shen Hongyuan would scold Lu Ran.

When he got closer, he saw an extremely kind smile on Shen Hongyuan's face.

There was even a hint of flattery in his tone: "Aren't you busy with studies today? Why did you come back so early?"

Shen Xingran's eyes almost fell out.

What's going on?

The last time Shen Hongyuan came back from looking for Ji Min, he didn't treat Lu Ran like this.

Now he is so kind, is Lu Ran going to marry Ji Min?

Lu Ran didn't say anything, just stared at Shen Hongyuan.

Before he could speak, Shen Hongyuan quickly explained: "It's not a big deal at home today. I didn't tell you because you've been very busy recently. Don't mind it."

Seeing Lu Ran holding a piece of cherry cake, he said: "If you want to eat it, just ask someone to send it to you. Why do you have to come and get it in person?"

This scene was beyond Shen Xingran's cognition.

At this moment, he even thought that Shen Hongyuan was betrayed.

For a moment, he couldn't help but say: "Dad, Master Fang doesn't seem to like my brother's puppy."

Lu Ran's black eyes looked at Shen Xingran, and then at Shen Hongyuan.

He suddenly grinned at Shen Hongyuan: "Thank you, Dad, I just like eating out."

Shen Hongyuan's face trembled twice, but he still maintained his smile: "Yeah, I had a good time."

"Dad, what's wrong with you..." Shen Xingran started.

Shen Hongyuan looked at the back of Lu Ran leaving with the cake, and interrupted Shen Xingran in a deep voice: "Don't mess with him today."

Nonsense, if Lu Ran can't come in, that would be better.

But what if he comes in!

You can't treat him like an ancestor, especially since there is an equally crazy Ji Min behind this guy.

What if I pissed off Lu Ran and ruined his banquet today?

Shen Hongyuan took a deep breath.

He has figured it out. Since there is no way to separate Lu Ran and Ji Min for the time being, he can only coax him.

He underestimated Lu Ran in the past. As long as he slowly brings the child to his side, everything will not be a problem.

Thinking of this, Shen Hongyuan turned around and instructed Shen Xingran: "He has a bad temper. You should coax him more."

Shen Xingran almost choked.

What does it mean?

He used to be the most favored person in the Shen family. Whenever the Shen family held a banquet, he would be the center of attention.

Shen Xingran has been accustomed to this treatment since he was a child.

It would have been fine if the arrogant Mr. Fang suddenly came today.

He was actually asked to coax Lu Ran?

But Shen Xingran also understood what Shen Hongyuan meant, and just nodded obediently: "Dad, I understand."

"Good boy." Shen Hongyuan patted his shoulder, "Go and accompany Master Fang."

Shen Xingran returned to the round table where Master Fang was sitting.

He happened to see Shen Xingzhuo following Lu Ran's butt.

Master Fang was also watching.

He sighed casually: "Hey, I heard before that your brother loves you very much, but now it seems that he likes to play with that person more."

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is thoughtful.

Shen Xingran didn't show it on his face, but his nails sank into his palms.

Shen Hongyuan really worked hard today.

In order to please this young Master Fang, he specially set up underwater fireworks in the swimming pool in the backyard as the climax of the party.

When the fireworks started to bloom, the bottom of the huge swimming pool burst into brilliant colors, and a group of people rushed over.

Lu Ran also went over to take a look, but he was not very interested.

He didn't like staying by the swimming pool.

He was about to leave with the cake in his hand.

At this moment, he heard a "thump" beside him.

Someone immediately shouted: "Master Fang fell into the water!"

Lu Ran was stunned and didn't react yet.

Someone pointed at him and said: "He pushed it, it was Lu Ran who pushed it!"

At this moment, a car sound was heard outside the villa.

The door of the villa was pushed open.

Shen Xingyu walked in.

Lu Ran was about to see which idiot was pointing at him, but he caught a glimpse of Shen Xingyu standing by the door with his peripheral vision, and he was stunned for a moment.

Shen Xingyu frowned and raised his head.

Through the crowd, his eyes were accurately locked on Lu Ran by the swimming pool.

There was a commotion by the swimming pool.

Fortunately, Young Master Fang was rescued quickly, but his body was stained with the fuel from the bottom of the water, which was colorful and very messy.

Moreover, it was only early spring, and the water in the pool was still extremely cold.

This Young Master Fang may have never experienced such a thing since he was a child.

After being pulled up, he began to scream: "Who! Who pushed me!"

Hearing someone say that Lu Ran pushed him, he immediately shouted: "Where is Lu Ran!"

Shen Xingyu walked over and saw this scene.

He frowned and looked over.

Lu Ran was still holding the piece of cherry chocolate cake in his hand.

There were traces of chocolate cream on the white suit behind Young Master Fang.

Some people also noticed this and echoed it.

Young Master Fang knew Shen Xingyu.

When he saw him, he almost jumped up from the recliner wrapped in a blanket.

"What's wrong with you Shen family? I'm going to tell my dad that you can forget about this project."

The surroundings were in chaos.

Only the boy holding the cake was still standing there without moving.

A pair of black eyes looked at Shen Xingyu in a daze.

Shen Xingyu lowered his eyes and stared at those eyes.

At this moment, many things flashed through his mind.

But soon, these things were drowned out by various thoughts of weighing the pros and cons.

Shen Xingyu lowered his eyes.

He raised his hand and slapped the boy in front of him heavily.

"Pah."

Lu Ran was hit and turned his head away.

The cake in his hand fell to the ground, and the bright red cherries rolled everywhere.
