Chapter 146 The Invisible Character
Lian Yuzhu thought seriously for a moment and replied,
"Perfect person."
It seemed that all the beautiful words in the world were not enough to describe her good friend.
"Speaking of which, when I was a kid, your mother first came to my house. I was afraid that she would take away my father's love for me, and I even hated her for a while."
Lian Yuzhu started laughing as she spoke.
"I also deliberately threw my bracelet into her bag to frame her."
Ji Ran asked with great interest, "And then?"
“Then your mother admitted it without any excuses.
Later I asked her why she didn't explain. It was obvious that with her intelligence, it would be easy for her to explain herself.
But she said..."
Lian Yuzhu was talking and laughing, but tears welled up in her eyes again.
"She said that she didn't care whether my dad was disappointed in her or not, but she didn't want my dad to be disappointed in me..."
"Your father is just a good uncle to me, but to you, he is a unique father." Lingyue said at the time.
Ji Ran smiled unconsciously. Her mother was also quite cocky.
Lian Yuzhu walked around the desk, opened the drawer in front of it, took out a thin photo, and handed it to Ji Ran hesitantly.
Ji Ran took it and saw her mother on it, leaning against a man with a bright smile on her face. The man's face had been scratched to pieces.
"This is...your father." Lian Yuzhu explained, but her voice became much colder.
Ji Ran looked at the conspicuous mole on the man's neck in the photo and answered calmly, "Qin Wenzhou?"
Lian Yuzhu was stunned.
"You...already knew?"
"Yeah." Ji Ran responded calmly, casually threw the photo back on the table, and then subconsciously flicked his fingertips as if flicking away ashes.
But he still held the photo frame in his hand and walked towards the whole wall of books on the side.
Lian Yuzhu looked at the photo abandoned on the table, bit her lip, and felt very conflicted.
She is Lingyue's best friend and also half her family. All the tragedies in Lingyue's life began with her acquaintance with Qin Wenzhou.
How could she not hate Qin Wenzhou?
But the child only has one father after all...
She didn't want to transfer her hatred to Lingyue's poor child.
After taking a deep breath, she opened her mouth to explain for Qin Wenzhou:
"Xiao Leng, your father actually has his own difficulties."
Ji Ran took out a book, and when he heard these words, he didn't even pause, but opened the book and started reading.
"His situation back then was full of internal and external troubles, which must have been difficult. At that time, the economy was in a great depression, and all family businesses were facing transformation. If they couldn't transform, they would die. The Qin family was in a state of civil war because Master Qin was ill and planned to abdicate. Qin Wenzhou was also forced by Master Qin to marry.
In fact, it was very difficult for him, but he still swore to stick with your mother until…"
When Lian Yuzhu said this, her eyes had faded to gray.
The girl's calm voice continued what she had not finished saying.
"Until he was kidnapped and my mother left on her own, he accepted the marriage out of desperation after he came back, right?"
Ji Ran flipped through the "Klein" in his hand without raising his head, and habitually twisted the corner of the book back and forth with his index finger.
Lian Yuzhu looked at Ji Ran in shock and was speechless.
Her wise thinking only accounted for a small part of this shock, and it was incredible that she could have such strong calmness at her age.
"So why did my mother leave?"
Ji Ran closed the book, placed it on the photo frame, and took a few steps to browse other books.
Hearing this, Lian Yuzhu recalled the situation when Qiu Lingyue left, and the feeling of loss filled her heart again.
"I have never figured this out. The day Lingyue passed away, she just said that she couldn't sleep well in the third trimester of pregnancy and made an appointment with a doctor, but she lost contact from that day on. It's all my fault that I didn't notice her abnormality..."
Ji Ran turned his head and looked at Lian Yuzhu, his eyes flashing slightly, as if he was looking at something.
The powerful aura even made Lian Yuzhu a little nervous.
Ji Ran was just thinking about all these abnormal plots. Qin Wenzhou's kidnapping was abnormal, her mother's sudden departure in the third trimester was abnormal, and her mother giving birth to her in a county town where she had no relatives or friends was abnormal...
It seemed as if there was an invisible hand behind the scenes, tampering with the cards in secret, making them into such a mess.
Throughout this process, there is a character who is mentioned many times but remains invisible.
Ji Ran turned his head again and looked at the classic murder novel by Agatha among the books in front of him, and slowly asked:
"Fu family's daughter,
Regarding marriage,
What is the attitude?
The girl's cold voice exuded an elusive murderous intent.
Lian Yuzhu was startled, recalled for a moment, and replied, "Fu Luanyin has liked Qin Wenzhou for many years, and she was the one who took the initiative to propose marriage many times..."
Suddenly, Lian Yuzhu's eyes widened.
Is it possible?
Did Fu Luanyin do something behind the scenes back then?
It's really possible...
Lian Yuzhu once again looked at Ji Ran in shock. Not only was this kid terrifyingly calm, his thoughts were also... terrifyingly jumpy.
Ji Ran took out the novel, placed it on the book in his hand, turned around and walked towards Lian Yuzhu.
"Can you lend me these two books?"
Lian Yuzhu came back to his senses, touched her head, and forced a smile.
"These were originally what your mother used to read. You can take them."
Ji Ran nodded slightly, "Then I'll go first."
Having said that, she turned and was about to leave.
"Xiao Leng!" Lian Yuzhu immediately grabbed her.
They just recalled the key points, why are they leaving...
Ji Ran turned back in confusion, "What else does Madam Jiang want to say?"
Hearing the name "Mrs. Jiang", Lian Yuzhu felt a little sad. She held Ji Ran's hand and begged softly, "Can you stay here tonight?"
Here, feel the traces of your mother and fill the little chapter of your mother that is missing in your heart.
Ji Ran didn't expect her to say that and was stunned for a moment.
Seeing that she did not refuse, Lian Yuzhu urged her again:
"Your mother would stay in this room when she came here. No one else has stayed here."
Ji Ran lowered her eyes. She wanted to go home. She wanted to...
But she seemed unable to resist her mother's temptation.
"If you're afraid of being disturbed, I'll let them not disturb you, okay?" Lian Yuzhu couldn't hide her eyes full of anticipation.
In the end, Ji Ran nodded.
"Be good!" Lian Yuzhu was visibly happy. "I'll have someone prepare pajamas and toiletries, and give you a hot cup of milk, okay?"
"No thanks." Ji Ran refused, "I went out right after I woke up today, and I was wearing the same clothes I wore to sleep."
Lian Yuzhu couldn't help but glance at her large T-shirt and soft plaid pants...
silence...
"Ahem..." Ji Ran was a little embarrassed, "Mrs. Jiang, can you let me stay here alone?"
Lian Yuzhu took a deep breath and said, "No."
