Chapter 45
Lin Ran said in a low voice: "I am of humble status, and Big Brother doesn't like me. We usually don't say a few words to each other. I'm afraid I can't help Uncle Shen."
Shen Zhongqi naturally knew that his eldest son had been raised by Mr. Mei and had no relatives, no alcohol or women, and was like a workaholic, without any hobbies at all.
How could Lin Ran, an adopted daughter who is not presentable, catch his eye?
Otherwise, he would not have seen through the beauty trap and driven her out.
"It's okay. This is just my selfish desire. In the future, when you are at Shanshi Technology, if Jinghan encounters any difficulties, remember to tell me. Blood is thicker than water. If I can help him, I will definitely help him. I'm just afraid that he will listen to his grandfather's words. Alas..."
Shen Zhongqi's words came to an abrupt end.
Lin Ran couldn't help but secretly praise him. He was indeed a bureaucrat. He spoke a lot of sweet words but was just right, leaving people with endless room for imagination.
"Okay, Uncle Shen."
Shen Zhongqi smiled and said, "You just came back, so you probably don't have that much money. This is my secondary card. Go ahead and buy whatever you want. As the daughter of the Shen family, you need to look respectable. You don't have to worry about money."
Shen Zhongqi handed her a black card.
Use both kindness and force, and bribe with money.
Lin Ran lowered her eyes and took the black card, pretending to be surprised and said, "Thank you, Uncle Chen."
Lin Ran took the secondary card and left the study, the smile on her face gradually disappearing.
Accept the card so that he won't become suspicious.
Shen Zhongqi frowned as he watched his adopted daughter leave. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that Lin Ran's words and deeds were somewhat like those of his eldest son.
He killed this ridiculous thought. How could an adopted daughter from a small fishing village with an unknown father be the heir carefully nurtured by the Mei and Chen families?
It must be his illusion.
When Lin Ran reached the stairs, she saw Shen Jinghan standing in the side hall making coffee.
The whole room was filled with the rich aroma of coffee.
Shen Jinghan prefers coffee, but she has a bad stomach and gets stomachaches after drinking coffee, so she rarely drinks coffee.
This body is so delicate.
When she came downstairs, she saw Shen Jinghan looking at her with his phoenix eyes as cold as stars.
The man's eyes fell on the black card in her hand, and his thin lips curled up almost imperceptibly.
A sarcastic, mocking laugh.
Lin Ran's cheeks burned hotly, and she returned to her room expressionlessly.
The phone vibrated.
Shen Jinghan typed slowly: "Are you short of money? I'm more generous than Shen Zhongqi."
Lin Ran sneered. How could a young master like him, who inherited a fortune at birth, understand the sufferings of the world?
She was very short of money. When she needed money the most, she had to eat one loaf of bread for three meals, and it was only because of her remaining pride that she didn't go through the trash can.
She felt that the days in Chenyuan were like a nightmare, and she and Shen Jinghan were from completely different worlds.
How ignorant had she been to try to pick the moon from the sky?
Lin Ran's eyes stung, and she replied, "Is it the overnight fee?"
She was sad and angry.
The arrogant Shen Jinghan actually wanted to give her money! He had never thought about her in these years, nor had he thought about what kind of life she would live after being kicked out?
He had no idea that she had used up all her strength just to survive over the years.
Lin Ran hugged her knees with a chill all over her body, her eyes red. She clearly didn't want to hate, but she still hated it. She hated herself. Why did she fall in love with someone so rashly when she was young, loving him to the point of no return?
In the side hall, Shen Jinghan looked at the glaring line of words with a gloomy expression. He crushed the glass teacup on the table with his big hand, and blood dripped onto the carpet.
The butler's expression suddenly changed, and he said in a lost voice, "Master, your hand."
Shen Jinghan lowered his eyes expressionlessly and said, "Throw away the carpet."
The housekeeper was terrified. The eldest young master was injured, and he was afraid that he could no longer hide it from Mr. Mei.
