Chapter 70
"The eldest young master said he would come back for dinner tonight."
The atmosphere in the side hall suddenly changed.
The real owner of Chen Garden is Shen Jinghan.
Shen Jinghan didn't get home until half past six. When he came back, his face was grim and his whole body was filled with coldness.
Lin Ran felt an inexplicable stomachache and wanted to go to the kitchen to eat.
"Sit down." Shen Jinghan sat at the head of the table, his phoenix eyes coldly passing over Shen Zhuoyu and looking at Lin Ran, "Your mother is not at home, so you don't have to go to the kitchen to eat."
The way he acts high and mighty, giving orders, makes people hate him so much.
Lin Ran lowered his eyes and didn't move.
Shen Zhuoyu sneered: "Brother, you will scare her like this. She is timid to begin with."
Shen Jinghan's phoenix eyes darkened, and his thin lips curled into a sarcastic arc. Is she timid? If she were timid, she wouldn't have provoked him again and again.
The reason she took leave was to rest at home, not to be alone with Shen Zhuoyu for the whole day.
"I heard you're going to get a cat and a dog?"
Lin Ran's face was slightly pale. Everyone in Chen Garden was his spies. Shen Jinghan was here to attack tonight.
"I changed my mind. I want to raise a rabbit. Rabbits are cute, just like Ranran."
Shen Zhuoyu smiled lazily: “Brother, do you have any good suggestions?”
Shen Jinghan is allergic to cat and dog hair. There is no pet at home, not even a turtle. Everyone in the Shen family knows it.
Chen Jinghan smiled instead of getting angry and looked at Lin Ran: "Want to raise him?"
Lin Ran shook her head: "I don't like pets."
Shen Zhuoyu narrowed his eyes and said, “Just because you don’t like it now doesn’t mean you won’t like it in the future, right, big brother?”
Shen Jinghan acted as if he hadn't heard anything and said coldly, "Let's eat."
The meal felt like a lump in my throat.
None of the three spoke.
Chen Zhuoyu kept picking up dishes, and the pile of dishes in front of Lin Ran was higher than a mountain.
Lin Ran felt two gazes above her head, one cold and one hot, as if she was in two different worlds of ice and fire.
She ate in silence, and when she was about to finish, Shen Zhuoyu suddenly spoke.
"Brother, I heard that you want to marry into the Song family? In recent years, the Song family has had some connections in the political arena, but the rest are vulnerable. Could it be that you like Song Zitong or want to enter politics?"
The atmosphere in the restaurant was even more eerie.
Shen Jinghan looked at Lin Ran who was eating with her head down, and only saw the small widow's peak on her forehead.
Shen Jinghan didn’t say anything.
Chen Zhuoyu continued to laugh and said, "The old man of the Song family is old-fashioned and stubborn, and he is also very self-righteous. If you marry Song Zitong in the future, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep a little lover or a white moonlight outside, otherwise Mr. Song will be so angry that he will die.
If the marriage fails and instead creates enmity, it will be more trouble than gain."
Lin Ran's heartbeat quickened, and she suddenly looked up at Shen Zhuoyu. Did he know everything?
How is this possible?
Shen Jinghan put down his chopsticks and sneered, "Don't worry about that. I heard your mother is running for election recently, and she's investigating three generations of ancestors. Do you think she'll find you, an illegitimate child?"
Shen Zhuoyu's smile froze, and she subconsciously looked at Lin Ran and smiled, "Don't worry about this little thing, big brother. I wonder when you're going to set the wedding date so I can prepare the gifts in advance."
The two brothers exchanged sharp words, deliberately poking at each other's weaknesses. For a moment, the atmosphere was tense and their faces looked unhappy.
Lin Ran's face turned pale. He put down his bowl and chopsticks and said softly, "I'm done eating. You guys take your time."
The two of them froze, looked at her at the same time, and then restrainedly looked away.
