Chapter 88 Restraint

The scene in the box was very shocking for a while.

It was probably because Shen Hongyuan was so sincere when he promoted his sons.

Although the wine tasted a bit strange, Old Lino took a big sip without thinking.

The result was...

the strange-tasting stream of water shot out of his mouth.

It shot a long way.

Over, over the dining table in front of him, over Shen Hongyuan, whose eyes were about to pop out.

It sprayed directly onto Shen Xingran, who was across the round table.

Although his two sons didn't drink much, their condition was not much better. As soon as

they took a sip, it sprayed everywhere like flowers scattered by a fairy.

Old Lino was attacking from a distance, and he was just throwing it randomly without distinction.

It's hard for Jin to remember his fishing persona and try to maintain his elegance without spraying.

But no one can stand this smell.

So the "wine" flowed silently along the corners of his mouth and chin. There

were wet marks on his collar.

Shen Hongyuan was dumbfounded.

He looked at Shen Xingran, then at Lino's family, and hurriedly stood up and asked: "What's going on?"

Old Lino beat his chest and stamped his feet, pointing at Shen Xingran opposite, unable to speak at all.

He and his two sons rushed to grab the water cup on the table.

After grabbing it, they took a sip. After pouring

it into his mouth, he didn't know whether to spit out or swallow the water for gargling, and he was so anxious that he ran all over the table.

He finally managed to suppress the taste in his mouth, and immediately pointed at Shen Hongyuan, then at Shen Xingran, and said angrily: "What are you giving us to drink? Toilet water!"

Yang also followed up: "That's right, how did we offend you, look at what a mess you brought!"

Shen Xingran was also stunned.

The smugness in his eyes had not yet dissipated, and he immediately tried to explain: "No, I didn't..."

Shen Hongyuan also said: "Is there a misunderstanding? My son has always done things properly..."

"Misunderstanding?" Old Lino was angry.

He raised his hand and splashed the remaining half glass of "wine" on Shen Hongyuan's face, "If you have a misunderstanding, taste it yourself!"

"Wow".

Shen Hongyuan reached out and wiped his face, and fell silent.

After a moment of silence, he pointed at Shen Xingran and cursed: "You unfilial son, what kind of wine is this? Who told you to bring this kind of thing to someone?"

Seeing that even Shen Hongyuan scolded him, Shen Xingran panicked.

He didn't do anything! He

didn't do anything at all, he just brought the wine prepared by Lu Ran!

Thinking of the time when he went to get the wine, Lu Ran was in the bathroom.

Shen Xingran suddenly fell silent.

He lowered his head to look at the "wine stain" on his clothes that had just been sprayed, carefully picked up the clothes and smelled it, and his face immediately turned green.

Seeing the three people from the Lino family and Shen Hongyuan opposite with angry faces, Shen Xingran didn't care about anything at this moment. He

quickly told the truth: "I'm sorry, uncle and two brothers, I didn't pour this wine. In fact, it was my brother Lu Ran who poured it. I just brought the wine over..."

"You're talking nonsense!" Old Lino pointed at him and cursed, "You just said you poured it yourself."

"I, I..."

Shen Xingran has always been the one who slandered others. When has he ever experienced such an indefensible situation?

Shen Xingran had to grit his teeth and admit his mistake: "I was wrong. I lied at the beginning."

But no matter what he said, the people on the opposite side just thought he was shirking responsibility and didn't believe him at all.

Jin even looked at him and sneered: "You said your brother poured it? I've drunk the wine poured by your brother so many times and nothing happened. Why is it that something happened when you came?"

"That's right!" Yang said angrily, "Can the urine you poured be compared with the fine wine poured by Lu Ran?"

Shen Xingran stamped her feet in anger: "But this was poured by Lu Ran!"

The three people from the Lino family didn't believe it at all:

"Hehe, we have all drunk the wine poured by your brother. That wine has a strange and slightly bitter aroma. How can it be the same as these things that seem to be scooped out of the toilet?"

Lu Ran came out of the bathroom and found that the tray he had placed aside was missing.

At this time, he was also numb for a moment.

Don't let someone who doesn't know take it away and drink it.

But Lu Ran pondered for a while and soon guessed who was behind it.

He walked back to the private room quietly.

He opened the door of the private room a crack, and just happened to see Old Lino spurting out the wine.

Lu Ran felt relieved.

It is reasonable for the right thing to be drunk by the right person.

He stood outside the private room and watched quietly for a while.

Only when Shen Xingran began to prove herself crazily did he push the door open and walk in.

As soon as Lu Ran stepped in, he fanned himself with a look of disgust: "Huh... why does it smell like a toilet?"

Shen Xingran was going crazy when he saw him.

He pointed at Lu Ran and said, "How dare you say that? Did you pour this wine?"

Lu Ran looked at him in surprise.

Confusion and disbelief flashed in his eyes, and he finally sighed and said in a wronged tone that everyone could hear: "Since you and father think so, then just think of it as me pouring it."

Shen Xingran was hit in the face by the obvious incomparable fragrance of tea, and was completely stunned.

This was the first time in his life that someone had poured him tea!

As expected, Jin Heyang on the other side of the round table immediately said angrily: "Shen Xingran, you slandered him!"

Old Lino finally couldn't sit still.

He stood up, pointed at Shen Hongyuan and cursed: "Look at the good son you raised, he wants to marry into our Lino family, no way!"

"In this competition, our Lino family will definitely not be lenient!"

After saying that, he waved his hands and quickly left the box with his two sons.

Shen Hongyuan saw that the matter was not going well, and hurriedly chased after him.

Before leaving, he did not forget to slap Shen Xingran: "Look at what you have done!"

Shen Xingran took it hard.

Soon, Lu Ran and Shen Xingran were the only two people left in the hot and noisy box.

Shen Xingran covered his cheek and looked at Lu Ran with resentment.

His eyes understood clearly: "You had already expected that I would take the wine you poured, so you deliberately did this to deal with me!"

Lu Ran was silent.

He said sincerely: "I really didn't do it this time."

But Shen Xingran certainly didn't believe it, and firmly believed that Lu Ran had planned it.

When Lu Ran came out of the restaurant, he saw Ji Min's car waiting outside.

He got into the car and said in surprise: "Boss, why are you here?"

Ji Min glanced at him and said, "I was just passing by."

The co-pilot, Butler Chen: "..."

Your "passing by" is really tortuous.

Lu Ran didn't care about these details.

He got in the car, and he couldn't help but hold on to the back armrest of Ji Min's wheelchair, and excitedly told him about Shen Xingran feeding the "original liquid" to the people of Lino's family.

After speaking, he sighed with some regret: "Why did he take these glasses of wine?"

"Are you unhappy?" Ji Min asked.

"Of course it's more comfortable to feed them with your own hands!" Lu Ran said.

Ji Min, who came in a hurry for fear that someone would suffer a loss: "..."

Well, he was worrying too much.

Having offended the Lino family at this critical juncture, Shen Hongyuan and Shen Xingyu will probably be very busy recently.

Shen Hongyuan hasn't bothered Lu Ran for several days.

However, another thing has been talked about in the upper circles of Beijing recently.

It is Ji Min's 29th birthday.

The families related to the Ji family and the companies that have business dealings with the Ji family have recently begun to prepare.

But not everyone can enter Ji Min's birthday party.

The Ji residence has also become unusually lively recently.

A professional team came to plan the arrangement of the banquet.

But Lu Ran was busy again during this period, running around all day long.

There were two times when he even forgot to take Da Huang for a walk, which was rare, and he just asked Butler Chen to take care of him.

On the weekend morning, Ji Min finally couldn't help it.

After breakfast, he looked up and glanced upstairs, and asked Butler Chen: "What is he busy with recently? Did he come back very late last night?"

Butler Chen smiled and didn't answer.

Ji Min lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea, frowning: "How can a child stay out so late?"

"Maybe he is preparing a birthday present for you." Butler Chen said.

Ji Min was stunned.

After a while, Lu Ran came down from the stairs yawning.

He came back in the early morning last night, and now he was sleeping with his hair messy.

When he walked downstairs to the restaurant, his voice was still hoarse from just waking up.

"Good morning, boss." Lu Ran rubbed his eyes.

Ji Min thought of what Butler Chen had just said, and quickly looked away.

He coughed lightly and said, "Why are you so busy lately?"

There was a hint of expectation in his voice.

But the boy at the table just raised his head and drank a sip of water, and said vaguely, "Well...something happened recently."

Ji Min glanced over from the corner of his eyes, but his eyes fixed.

The boy raised his head to drink water, and his white neck stretched out, revealing a small red mark hidden under the collar on the side of his neck.

More than one.

In the gap of the collar, other shadowy marks can be vaguely glimpsed.

The bright red marks, superimposed on the boy's healthy milky white skin, were extremely dazzling.

Ji Min was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked away to look out the window.

He subconsciously wondered if there were any mosquitoes recently.

Or maybe the fabrics of the bedding and clothes were not suitable, causing the boy to have allergies.

But these might happen outside, but definitely not in Ji Min's residence.

Excluding these possibilities, coupled with Lu Ran's recent late return, another answer was about to emerge.

Ji Min's fingers holding the water glass tightened.

He noticed it himself, and then deliberately relaxed again.

But he was still uncomfortable, so he raised his hand and put the water glass on the dining table.

At this moment, Ji Min's mood was very complicated.

An unknown emotion surged up, tearing at his heart in his chest.

There was another surge of anger.

Anger towards the person who could leave these marks on the boy.

But under this strong tearing, he was thinking again, Lu Ran is already nineteen years old.

Although... he always felt that Lu Ran was a child, he was an adult recognized by the law.

Children in families like theirs are generally very precocious.

There are many who get into trouble in their teens.

It's already too late for someone like Lu Ran.

His heart was still being torn.

Ji Min's fingers trembled slightly, he couldn't help but do something.

For example, pull the boy into his arms.

Press the fingertips on the marks on his neck.

Cover these marks with something heavier.

But Ji Min was very fortunate.

I'm glad that Lu Ran was sitting farther away and that the wheelchair restricted my movements.

So that he would not really do these terrible behaviors.

Ji Min was thinking again, he has always regarded himself as Lu Ran's elder. He

has always treated Lu Ran as a child.

So as an elder, what should he say now?

Remind the boy to pay attention to his health?

Ji Min felt that he must say something.

He must use words to suppress the impulse in his bones, muscles and nerves.

"You..."

Ji Min heard himself speak dryly and asked, "Do you have a girlfriend recently, or... a boyfriend?"

"Huh?" Lu Ran raised his head while biting half a shrimp ball.

Ji Min tried to make his usual tone and said with difficulty: "Be careful."

After that, he quickly turned the wheelchair around and was about to leave.

Before he could turn around, he saw the boy's eyes at the dining table lit up.

He put down his chopsticks, dragged the chair under him, and moved both the person and the chair to the side of Ji Min.

Ji Min wanted to step back.

He wanted to say, don't get so close to him at this time.

What if he can't control himself...

But the boy stared at him with those sparkling eyes, suddenly pulled down his collar, got close to him, and asked:

"Boss, did you see this!"

The next moment, the milky white skin emitting warmth was closer to Ji Min's eyes.

He could even see the undulating blue blood vessels under the skin.

And the slight tremor of the skin caused by the beating of the carotid artery.

Ji Min's masseter muscles swelled for a moment, and he turned his head away wolfishly, restraining himself from biting the itchy roots of his teeth.

At this time, he heard the child in front of him, with a look of praise on his face, saying: "Boss, do you think I pinched it like it!"

Ji Min: "?"
