Chapter 85 Engagement

Shen Xingyu is the one who can pick up the half-dead Shen family.

In the business world, he is also good at poking people's soft spots.

After poking, he slowed down his tone and said sincerely: "The Shen family is sorry for Lu Ran. From today on, the Shen family will give Lu Ran everything he deserves."

He paused and said: "The thing you mentioned at the beginning will not happen again."

Ji Min has calmed down.

Although Shen Xingyu did hit the point he cares about most, and saw that he attaches great importance to Lu Ran, he tried to convince him by starting from Lu Ran's perspective.

But these rhetoric are all things that Ji Min has played with, and they will not have much impact on him.

He raised his head, looked at Shen Xingyu, and asked: "How can you guarantee these things?"

Shen Xingyu paused.

He was about to say something, but Ji Min raised his hand to stop him. He

smiled and said, "You can't even guarantee your own dignity in the Shen family, how can I believe that you can protect him?"

Shen Xingyu froze slightly.

But he quickly calmed down and said, "My dignity is not important, the dignity of the Shen family is important."

Then he pressed on step by step.

He stared at Ji Min and said, "Senior Ji, you are a person who sticks to rules. Lu Ran is only 19 years old and has an engagement with the Gu family. It's not appropriate for him to live in the Ji family now."

Shen Xingyu raised his eyebrows: "Or does the Ji family intend to marry the Shen family?"

If it were another man, Shen Xingyu would not dare to say this.

This sentence is like a step, and maybe the other party will agree naturally.

The result was that not only did he fail to take Lu Ran away, but he also sent his own brother away in vain.

But Ji Min would not do that.

This man is extremely calm, so he would not be dazzled by other people's words and put aside his own considerations.

Shen Xingyu asked this question because he saw that Ji Min really cared about Lu Ran.

It was not the playfulness of a superior to a pet, but real love.

Seeing this love, Shen Xingyu was slightly relieved.

In this way, even if Lu Ran returned to the Shen family, with Ji Min taking care of him, Shen Hongyuan should not be too excessive.

At the same time, because of this love, Shen Xingyu knew that Ji Min would not make a promise of "engagement" casually.

Because the more you love someone, the more you don't want him to stay with a cripple for the rest of his life.

Sure enough, Ji Min didn't respond.

Shen Xingyu continued: "I don't want my brother to suffer those rumors."

Although, in fact, no one dared to spread rumors about Ji Min.

Ji Min was silent for a while.

He looked up at Shen Xingyu and asked: "In what capacity are you talking to me, as an alumnus, or as Lu Ran's brother."

Shen Xingyu was not sure why Ji Min asked this, and only said: "Of course I am Lu Ran's brother."

Ji Min sneered: "Are you worthy?"

Just three words, but Shen Xingyu choked for a moment.

If it was Shen Hongyuan, he would be angry and embarrassed at this moment.

Mrs. Shen would go crazy directly.

But Shen Xingyu was not someone who would be swayed by emotions during the negotiation.

He immediately said, "He is my brother, this is an objective fact."

Ji Min smiled.

"Brother?" He looked up, his eyes seemed to see through everything, "You came to me or said these words, is it because Lu Ran is your brother?"

"Shen Xingyu, don't deceive yourself."

Ji Min sighed, "You just treat Lu Ran as a sheep in the sheepfold of the Shen family, and you are a sheepdog carefully cultivated by the Shen family. If you find that the sheep has run away, you must take it back." "

As for whether to take this sheep back, continue to raise it, or kill it or buy it, it depends on the owner's plan, and you, a sheepdog, have no right to comment."

All the cover-ups were ruthlessly exposed, and Shen Xingyu pursed his lips.

The negotiation fell into a stalemate for a while.

Far away, Lu Ran played golf for a while and found it boring. He kept looking up

at Ji Min .

Seeing this, Butler Chen smiled and said, "What are you looking at? If you are tired, come sit with me, an old man, and drink some tea." As he finished speaking, a golf cart passed by Ji Min. Seeing the cart, Lu Ran, who had just stood there, suddenly dropped his golf club and ran quickly towards Ji Min. Butler Chen didn't react for a while, and when he raised his head again, Lu Ran had already run more than a hundred meters away. The golf cart drove over, passed by, and then went away. Ji Min also saw the boy running over breathlessly. He was slightly stunned and asked in surprise: "Why are you running like this?" Lu Ran was panting, and before he could say anything, he stood behind Ji Min's wheelchair. He pulled the wheelchair and retreated violently. He didn't stop until he was more than ten meters away from Shen Xingyu. This kid looks thin and weak. When he really uses his strength, he seems to be willing to risk his life. Ji Min's wheelchair was pulled back slightly by him. The scene suddenly became a little funny. Shen Xingyu was silent when he saw that he was avoiding him as if he were the god of plague. Lu Ran then remembered to explain what he had done. He panted, pointed at Shen Xingyu, and said confidently: "Stay away from him. Who knows if there are cockroaches on his body? What if one flies over to him?" Shen Xingyu: "..." Ji Min was a little amused. He turned sideways to look at the boy behind him. Only then did he realize that the person behind him looked very imposing.

But it is not known whether it was because of the rapid running just now, or because of dragging his wheelchair.

The boy's hands and forearms were still shaking slightly.

Ji Min frowned immediately, stretched out his hand to pull the boy's arm, and held it in his palm.

Butler Chen also came over with Da Huang.

Ji Min turned the wheelchair around and took Lu Ran back to the round table.

When he turned around, he looked back at Shen Xingyu who was standing there.

Suddenly he said, "Since you are telling me this as a brother, I will consider the engagement."

Shen Xingyu's brows were immediately twisted into a knot.

When Ji Min pulled him to sit down, Lu Ran still didn't understand what the two were talking about.

He glanced at Shen Xingyu who was not far away and asked in a low voice: "What engagement?"

The man who had just said that he would consider an engagement was vague now.

He pinched the boy's arm, which was shaking because of excessive force, and scolded: "Children should not eavesdrop on adults' conversations."

Lu Ran: "..."

He thought to himself, his boss really has a serious illness.

Ji Min glanced at Shen Xingyu who did not leave, and sighed slightly.

Shen Xingyu is not someone who gives up so easily.

Lu Ran needs to add more people to his side.

But he was not going to tell the boy next to him about this.

But after shaking hands with his still trembling arms, Ji Min was still a little angry when he thought of the boy's appearance when he sprinted a hundred meters just now.

He raised his hand and knocked on Lu Ran's forehead, scolding: "Didn't you say you weren't afraid? Then why did you pull my wheelchair back ten meters? Don't you want your arm?"

Lu Ran covered his forehead.

"I said I'm not afraid of him," he said.

After that, as if to prove it, Lu Ran pulled back his hand.

He looked around, ran to a children's golf interest class next to him, and asked for a little white rabbit balloon as a reward.

Holding the balloon, he ran to Shen Xingyu.

With a "pop", he smashed the balloon.

Shen Xingyu subconsciously turned his head and dodged.

The fragments of the balloon with the little white rabbit printed on it fell close to his cheek.

Lu Ran came with great momentum.

After shooting the balloon, he left with great momentum.

He did not forget to take credit to Ji Min: "Look, he was scared, wasn't he?"

Ji Min did not understand what he was doing. He

just stretched out his hand to hold him down: "Take a break."

He turned to look at Shen Xingyu.

But he found that Shen Xingyu, who had been motionless just now, was staring at the balloon fragments on the ground.

He looked a little dazed.

He did not linger on and left early.

On the way back, Ji Min's business car was very quiet.

Lu Ranwo fell asleep in the back seat.

When he ran towards Ji Min, he was almost sprinting at full speed.

After stopping, he did not even take a breath, and dragged Ji Min and his wheelchair back more than ten meters.

Although he was sitting in a wheelchair.

But Ji Min's electric wheelchair has strong brakes, and it is even more difficult to push on the lawn.

In addition, Ji Min is a big man

and is not light in weight. It would be strange if he was not tired after exerting so much strength suddenly.

"Let him sleep for a while, and wake him up later. He has to go to class in the afternoon." Ji Min said.

Butler Chen nodded and handed over a thin blanket as he said.

Ji Min unfolded it and covered the boy in the back seat.

There was a lot of space in the car.

He turned the wheelchair around and stared at Lu Ran's sleeping face for a while.

Lu Ran might have other reasons for being afraid of Shen Xingyu.

But Ji Min could understand a little bit that Lu Ran thought Shen Xingyu was sick and wanted to avoid him.

Talking with Shen Xingyu today, Ji Min could slightly feel that compared with other people in the Shen family, Shen Xingyu should treat Lu Ran as a relative.

But this emotion is nothing in Shen Xingyu's world.

Ji Min doesn't have

many relatives either. He can probably predict how Lu Ran felt since he was a child.

Because he is an orphan, when he sees that everyone around him has a happy family.

The very young Lu Ran could only comfort himself, thinking that his parents and relatives must love him very much, but they just didn't find him.

This fantasy was completely shattered when he was recognized by the Shen family.

But people are unwilling to admit that they are born unloved.

They are unwilling to admit that they deserve such a family and such parents. They

always have to rely on some fantasy to live.

So they will think that it has been too long since their parents remembered him and didn't recognize him.

If I remember him, I will love him and protect him.

But these faint fantasies were broken by Shen Xingyu.

Shen Xingyu remembered him and treated him as a younger brother.

But so what.

He seemed to be the one who was still not loved.

The so-called family affection.

The family affection that he had longed for for more than ten years ended up being nothing.

Ji Min reached out and rubbed the boy's forehead.

After leaving the golf course, Shen Xingyu returned to the company.

He was busy until the evening before returning to the Shen family.

As soon as he entered the door, he met Shen Hongyuan's cold face.

Shen Hongyuan glanced at him and asked, "How is the project going?"

Shen Xingyu sighed and said, "Dad, the progress is not that fast."

Shen Hongyuan frowned and asked him again: "What about Lu Ran? Why didn't he come back?"

Shen Xingyu opened his mouth but didn't say anything.

"Useless thing!" Shen Hongyuan scolded, "You can't handle your family affairs well, and you don't do your work well. What on earth are you doing recently!"

As he said that, he threw a stack of documents at Shen Xingyu: "This is the bidding plan of the Lino family. You have to show it to me carefully!"

Shen Xingyu stood where he was.

After Shen Hongyuan went upstairs, he picked up the document.

He had already got this document in the morning.

He knew very well that Shen Hongyuan treated him like this, one of which was due to his personality.

Another reason was that Shen Hongyuan was afraid of his gradual aging.

Shen Xingyu took this redundant document and went upstairs with heavy steps.

Before he entered his room, he looked next door.

The children moved out, and the house next door became empty again.

Shen Xingyu entered the room, turned on the light, and continued to sit at the table, looking at several plans sent by his subordinates.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Shen Xingyu said.

It was Mrs. Shen outside the door.

She pushed the door open, poked her head in, and said, "Son, I just heard your father hurt you again. Are you okay?"

Shen Xingyu felt warm in his heart.

He shook his head and was about to say that he was fine. But

Mrs. Shen had already pushed the door open and squeezed in.

As if the previous sentence was just an opening remark, she quickly forgot about it, took out her phone and handed it to Shen Xingyu and said:

"I remember you are a member of this brand. I like their new products this season, this one, this one and this one..."

"These are limited edition. I sent them to your WeChat. Please remember to help me grab them."

Shen Xingyu opened his mouth.

He couldn't remember the difference between the clothes Mrs. Shen sent. He wanted to say that he was busy recently and might forget. His assistant was also busy recently... But after Mrs. Shen finished her instructions, she hummed a song and left

leisurely . The door closed and the room returned to silence. The initial care seemed like an untouchable mirage. At this moment, Shen Xingyu suddenly felt very tired, extremely tired. The desk full of work was pressing down on him like a mountain. Behind him was a steep cliff, without any support. For the first time, Shen Xingyu couldn't continue working. He got up and went to the first floor, opened the partition door to the backyard, and sat on the steps to smoke. After smoking two cigarettes in a row, the cigarette box was empty. Shen Xingyu reached into his pocket again, fumbled for a while, and took out a piece of balloon fragment from it. On it was half a rabbit ear. He took out another one, which was a rabbit's big eyes and two front teeth. Looking at the fragments in his hand, Shen Xingyu took a deep puff of the almost burned cigarette in his hand. Shen Xingzhuo is not two years older than Lu Ran, so he probably doesn't remember things from his childhood. But when his brother got lost, Shen Xingyu was already twelve years old. He clearly remembered who was his younger brother, who was the adopted son who came later, and who was the real "Shen Xingran". But when Shen Xingyu was young, his relationship with Lu Ran was not very good.
