Second Hand Love Letter - Chapter 68
Shi Ran can’t remember when she started wanting a home that was completely hers, maybe it was when she played with others as a child, or maybe she was sitting by the lake in a daze, watching other girls ride When being brought home on Dad’s shoulders.
At that time, she didn’t know anything. Looking at the harmonious family, she blindly thought that the family had the love she wanted.
However, after a series of disappointments, Shi Ran briefly owned two “homes”, but they collapsed after a few years, even though she had really thought about running a good business.
Under the moonlit night, two shadows overlapped and projected on the ground.
Shi Ran hugged Chen Ruoyu like this, feeling very at ease.
The next day, the sun hung brightly in the sky as if to put Shi Ran in a good mood.
After breakfast, Shi Ran and Chen Ruoyu got into the elevator. There were already residents upstairs in the elevator, and the two were not too close.
“Hey, the boss of Chenneng Assets went in.” A girl with a high ponytail looked at her phone and said in surprise.
Gossip starts early in the day.
Another girl with curly hair was even more surprised than her: “What?”
“Hey, in the morning news, it is said that they embezzled public funds, bribed state officials, and embezzled a lot of money.” Gao Mawei said.
“Mom, look at his villa, there are 10,000,000… Oh, there are eight zeros.” Panfa girl continued to be surprised.
Maybe these two people are also engaged in Shi Haijun’s industry, and they don’t care that there are others in the elevator.
“I really brought his family’s old snacks to drink spicy food, and squeezed us social animals.”
“Look, this is his son photographed by reporters. He is quite handsome!”
“Hey, didn’t he say he still has a daughter? Why didn’t he see it in the news.”
“Who knows, maybe the little princess is not familiar with the world. She should panic and hide in the room when she encounters such a thing.”
“Oh, I envy the little princess, and I also want such a big villa.”
“You want your father to be in the game too.”
“Don’t allow people to get money legally? Don’t you want to be the daughter of a rich family? Being spoiled as a princess, the bag you wanted to buy last night was just a matter of raising your hand and waving your card. “
…
The two chatted happily, imagining how Shi Ran should have been treated in such a family.
Shi Ran felt a little nervous when he heard it, and there was some sneering mockery in his lowered eyes.
It was just that she couldn’t tolerate any more self-mockery, and Shi Ran felt that someone had inserted her fingers.
Chen Ruoyu held Shi Ran’s hand silently, her slender fingers had a familiar touch, gentle and powerful.
Shi Ran was lying in bed yesterday and told Chen Ruoyu about Shi Haijun, who then hugged her all night.
Now that she has heard the gossip and ridicule of strangers, she still chooses to send strength to Shi Ran and interlock with her.
The elevator stopped on the first floor, and the girl with pan hair sighed while looking at the busy traffic outside. Then the two ended the conversation with one sentence of capitalism, and walked out of the elevator.
This time, Chen Ruoyu and Shi Ran’s clasped hands were not loosened by the opening of the elevator door, but raised their hands and placed them on Shi Ran’s head.
The fingers ran through the long hair, softer than the holding hand.
Shi Ran understood that Chen Ruoyu was comforting herself, she stared at the two girls walking out of the elevator with an obscure gaze, raised her lips, and smiled at Chen Ruoyu: “I’m not that little princess, I’m fine.”
It’s just that this sentence is okay, or it was broken at noon.
Today, there are sweet and sour dishes in the cafeteria, and Shi Ran is in a much better mood, but when she put the dinner plate in the recycling area, she found that the phone in her pocket was vibrating, as if there was some news.
Shi Ran was suspicious, but when she took out her mobile phone, she found that it was a private message sent to her by a few painter friends who had met several times on Weibo:
[How are you, are you okay now? 】
[SaRah, although we haven’t been in contact with each other often in the past two years, but you can contact me if you need it. 】
[Don’t be influenced by the outside voice, we all believe in you. 】
…
Shi Ran looked at these comforting words, not only did his doubts not decrease, but instead increased.
She never said that Shi Ran was SaRah, let alone that Shi Haijun, who was arrested and imprisoned today, was her blood father.
How did these people know?
Shi Ran had a bad premonition in his heart, so he quit the private message and clicked on the hot search list. At the very bottom of the hot search, she saw SaRah’s name and linked it with Shi Haijun. It was obvious in the entry that the marketing account was in rhythm, and in real time there were passersby full of question marks.
Shi Ran looked at the unified “what do you think about this matter” of those marketing accounts, and found it extremely dazzling.
They didn’t know where they got their real identity information, and they speculated wildly while watching the excitement.
Shi Ran’s hand holding the phone tensed slightly, and his fingers became cold.
She didn’t do anything, or because of Shi Haijun’s stain, she was put in the public eye.
The elevator door opened in front of Shi Ran, and she walked in a little unrealistically. It wasn’t until the elevator door was closed for a while that she remembered that she forgot to press the floor.
The phone vibrated again, this time it was Shi Yu who sent the message: [Sister, I discussed it with Song Lan, Song Lan said that he could send you to study abroad, don’t worry about the money, how about avoiding the limelight? 】
Shi Ran is not the one who chooses to escape, so he pretended to be relaxed and asked: [Why, do you think your sister is a little princess who can only escape? 】
[A true warrior dares to face dripping blood. 】
Shi Yu couldn’t bear it: [But this time it pushed you to the cusp of the storm, your company will definitely come up with emergency measures, I’m afraid it will be detrimental to you. 】
The changing numbers in the upper right corner of the elevator brought Shi Ran closer to where she was working. Shi Ran looked at Shi Yu’s news and smiled for some reason: [What’s wrong, even if I’m fired, I You can also get two more months of salary, what are you afraid of? 】
Worst result she said.
But she, who always prepared for the worst early, couldn’t face this result this time.
Shi Yu still felt uneasy, and said again: [Sister, I think you should consider the matter of going abroad. Further education is not a bad thing. When the storm passes, no one will remember it. 】
Shi Ran understood the truth in Shi Yu’s words, but she just didn’t want to leave.
Even though this is the center of the storm vortex, the person who can give her a sense of security is also here.
Shi Ran knew that Shi Yu was thinking of himself, and that he must be in a mess right now, so he didn’t bother him, but said, “I’ll think about it, and take care of your health.” 】
Shi Yu: [I know, sister, you must also think about it. 】
Shi Ran replied with an “um”, and as the elevator door slowly opened, he called again: [Don’t say I’m at the company. 】
The office at lunch break was quiet, as if the sound of high heels hitting the floor tiles was a sin.
Shi Ran let out a long sigh and walked out of the elevator, saying that he should not pay attention to these things, but he still lowered his head and opened Weibo.
But when she opened the hot search on Weibo again, she found that all the entries about SaRah had been suppressed.
Shi Ran knew it couldn’t be Shi Yu, so a name appeared in his mind unconsciously.
—The man who held his hand in the elevator this morning.
Although the hot search has gone down, people’s memories have not been erased together.
Shi Ran, through the faint attention he has received along the way, knows that many of his colleagues in the studio already know about it.
“It turns out that her father is so rich, no wonder he usually looks down on others.”
“Of course, otherwise, where will the capital come from. Now, her father is in. Let’s see if she can be proud of her later.”
Passing by the tea room, the harsh conversation is more noticeable than the gaze that was secretly watched.
Shi Ran abruptly stopped walking towards the workstation and frowned and looked towards the tea room.
One is a woman who played well with Xiaomei who was fired from the modeling team, and the other is a woman who suspected Shi Ran of plagiarizing SaRah last time.
The two were in a state of embarrassment, and they were holding cups and whispering on the bar and fell into trouble.
Xiao Ba, who was picking up the coffee, happened to hear it, and scolded: “Hey! What are you talking about! Although A Ran is indeed a bit arrogant in normal times, at least he won’t get in trouble behind his back!”
Xiaomei’s friend laughed: “Xiao Ba, you and Shi Ran usually have a good time. Of course, we have endured her bad temper for a long time.”
When Big Bear heard what she said, he quickly waved his hand: “Hey! You are alone, don’t represent all of us, but we all like Tsundere.”
“That’s right.” Xu Mengtian echoed, “It’s like elder sister Ku Shiran has been there for a long time, so if you have the ability, don’t bear it? You also say the same when you have the ability to ask for help!”
“I’m afraid I don’t dare.” Xiaoba said and pointed to Xiaomei’s friend: “Last time, you stubbornly worked on the design for three days and didn’t draw anything that satisfied Sister Xiaoyuan, is it because Aran is off work? Stay here to help you make up your mind!”
“And you, you made a mistake in saving A Ran’s picture before, which caused her to paint from scratch. Did A Ran grab you by the neck and beat you, or scold you behind your back!”
“I really don’t know if these things are done to the dog? I don’t read it at all, the blood is almost dripping from my eyes!”
Xiao Ba yelled and replied word by word to these two people who were chewing their tongues behind their backs, gasping for breath.
Shi Ran’s heart was always warm when she heard that, she stepped forward and put her hand on Xiaoba’s shoulder, looked at the two people standing opposite to say nothing, and said, “Xiaoba, don’t be angry with this kind of person, let’s just When a kind heart feeds a dog, then let it fend for itself, just walk around.”
Xiao Ba sneered and said ruthlessly: “That is, you are kind, if I see this kind of thing on the side of the road, I have to go up and kick two feet to finish the job. Talking about it here, I have this skill to draw two more strokes, and I still need to stare at other people’s housework here.”
“Okay, Miss Ba, let’s go back.” Xu Mengtian was afraid that the dog on the other side would bite him in a hurry, so he walked towards the workstation after soothing the little girl.
Back at the work station, Xiao Ba’s anger was mostly gone, and he held Shi Ran’s arm to comfort him, and said, “Aran, are you alright. Don’t listen to these people, although uncle went in, let’s still Look forward and don’t be sad.”
Shi Ran looked at Xiao Ba’s busy manner of caressing himself except for the traitor, and smiled, “How can you see that I’m sad?”
Seeing Shi Ran like this, Xu Mengtian was not very relieved: “Sister Shi Ran, if you are sad, just show it. We are all by your side.”
“Yes.” Little Eight nodded.
Under the light, two pairs of eyes with the same concern fell into Shi Ran’s line of sight, making her feel extremely warm. But the more warm she is, the less she can show her wounds to them.
It’s her own fault.
She doesn’t like others pity her, and she can’t stand the complicated and loving eyes her friends will show to her when she tells her stories.
Shi Ran shook his head at Xiao Ba and the others, reached out and took out the cigarette he had put in the drawer.
Little Eight hurriedly asked, “Where are you going?”
Shi Ran shook the cigarette case, “Smoking.”
“I’ll accompany you.” Xiaoba knew that Shi Ran was smoking and went back to the rooftop, and was worried about getting up, but was pressed down by Shi Ran: “Have you finished your work? Go to work, I promise you that I won’t go to the rooftop. .”
After speaking, Shi Ran looked at Xu Mengtian, who was about to stand up, and pointed at her with a cigarette case: “Not obedient?”
Maybe this is a person’s natural aura, Xu Mengtian actually sat back after Shi Ran pointed at him.
Shi Ran, as she told Xiaoba, did not go to the rooftop to smoke this time.
It’s not that she is afraid of jumping off, but she really wants to smoke, and she can’t wait for a moment.
The discomfort in her heart was mentioned in her mouth, and the anxiety in her heart seemed to be that many little wild cats were grinding their claws in Shi Ran’s heart.
Shi Ran went to the inaccessible safe passage, and as soon as he put his hand on the doorknob, he stopped.
She saw two figures of the same stature inside, one was Chen Ruoyu and the other was Shen Yan.
“It has already been removed for you, and will not come up again.” Shen Yan said.
“Thank you.” Chen Ruoyu replied lightly.
Shen Yan waved his hand: “What’s there to thank for this, we all know exactly what’s going on. It is true that this time the valuation of the game has been affected, but as long as it is suppressed, it will not be a big problem.”
Speaking of Shen Yan’s words, it became obscure: “It’s just that now, that person can’t be kept.”
“It’s not just him, but the people over there have to be dealt with together.”
As Chen Ruoyu said, just a back figure standing in the shadow made people watch the hair stand up.
It seems that the person in the two of them has already touched the reverse scale.
Shen Yan nodded and said, “You can make up your mind.”
Shi Ran felt that the conversation between Chen Ruoyu and Shen Yan was like playing a riddle.
And even if Chen Ruoyu and Sister Zhou Yuan were together before, Shi Ran had never seen such an atmosphere.
The quiet space could hear the muffled chatter of the people inside. Shi Ran knew that she should leave, but the hand holding the doorknob was released, but the people were still standing outside motionless.
She couldn’t understand what they were talking about, and she felt a little unspeakable mind and awkwardness.
“I know you’re upset, but can you stop frowning?” Shen Yan’s voice became softer than before, she took the phone and placed it in front of Chen Ruoyu, “Come and see our Nancy.”
A rectangular light flashed from the glass, and Shi Ran heard the sound of meowing from the phone.
“Do you know what Nancy is talking about? She’s talking about mom, mom, be happy. If you frown all the time, there will be wrinkles, and it will look even more fierce.” Shen Yan said.
Chen Ruoyu did not return to Shen Yan, but just looked at the orange cat in the picture and commented, “I am fat.”
“Of course.” Shen Yan seemed to be praised by Chen Ruoyu, a little proud, “I asked my aunt to study cat rice, and she eats there every day with a round belly.”
“A-Yu, look, our Nancy is no longer the poor skinny little girl she used to be, is she?”
When the voice fell, Shi Ran suddenly felt like five thunders hit the top.
Shen Yan said “our”, Shen Yan asked her cat to call Chen Ruoyu “Mom”.
Not only did they have words they couldn’t understand, but they also raised a cat together.
like a family.
