Walking on the brightly lit street, Lin Ruolan and Lu Rui held their fingers tightly, and behind them was Lin Ruolan who was caught by Tchaikovsky, driving the red Ferrari sports car. His Land Rover was exploited by Bao Heng, in the name of letting him take care of his sister and brother-in-law...
"Do you think I'm not as gentle as you?"
The lights in the sky fell like water on Lin Ruolan and Lu Rui, drawing long shadows.
Lin Ruolan's question made Lu Rui's eyes stern, but he didn't say anything, but just silently clenched Lin Ruolan's hand.
"When I was a child, I knew that I had a secret, because whether it was a strict grandfather or a majestic father, I was always so cautious when treating me. Even other grandfathers always showed a pity when they saw me. When I was in high school, I accidentally passed by my father's study and heard the phone call between him and his grandfather. On the phone, my father, who had always been serious, let me know for the first time that he actually had such a fragile side.
From childhood to adulthood, no matter how big the mistake I made, my father always smiled and tolerated me. I always thought that the reason for this situation was that among the three generations of the Lin family, I was the only girl like me. But that day I realized that it was not like this at all."
"My surname is not Lin. To be precise, I am not a child of the Lin family at all."
Lin Ruolan said something to Lu Rui that shocked him.
Looking at Lu Rui's surprised expression, Lin Ruolan smiled slightly: "Only my father and grandfather, as well as several older grandfathers, they always thought I was kept in the dark, but in fact, I already knew about it."
"My biological parents should be people from the secret front, or in other words, my parents should be agents lurking abroad. For some reason, their identities were leaked. When the agents sent by the state to rescue people arrived, they only saved me in the cradle. Because my grandfather and my biological grandfather were old comrades-in-arms, they carried me into the Lin family when my grandfather was dying."
Lin Ruolan raised her head and looked up at the stars in the sky: "Over the years, I have been working hard to cooperate with my grandfather and father to keep this secret. Do you know? I'm very tired."
Lu Rui nodded, reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said in a gentle voice she had never seen before: "I have a secret, but I will not tell you until the day we get married. I hope you won't dislike me at that time."
Lin Ruolan blinked and said seriously: "Can't you say it now?"
Lu Rui nodded seriously: "Now I or you don't have the ability to protect each other, and I don't want to bother you. Believe me, this secret will definitely surprise you."
"Well, I believe you." Lin Ruolan nodded vigorously, slowly put his head on Lu Rui's shoulders, and the two of them snuggled up to each other and walked slowly.
"Ruo Lan."
"Um?"
"I really think there is no end to this road!"
"Why?"
"Because if this road has no end, I can hold your hand like this."
Lu Rui did not really send Lin Ruolan home. Compared to where the Lin family lives, it was too difficult for Lu Rui to send her away, so in the end, Lin Tiannan drove Lu Rui back to the hotel, and then took Lin Ruolan home.
Just as Lin Ruolan said to Lu Rui, the Lin family reacted very casually to the fact that she smashed the Tiandi Club. After hearing about this, Mr. Lin just uttered and asked his son: "Are the little kids so brave nowadays? Do you dare to steal people in broad daylight? Is that Tiandi Club the ten-mile foreign market of the old pearl?"
This sentence was forwarded by Lin Fengtian to Bao Tianrang, secretary of the Beijing Municipal Committee. Similarly, when Mr. Lin was exercising the next morning, he told his old comrade-in-arms, that is, Mr. Lan Tianye and Lan Xiaoou's grandfather.
Bao Tianrang's actions immediately expressed that he would thoroughly investigate the matter, while Mr. Lan, who was very proud, called Lan Tianye to the yard for a night and said something.
"Did you burn that shit club yourself, or did I ask someone to order it?"
Lan Tianye didn't dare to retaliate, but just nodded silently.
The old man sighed and sat on the stone stool and said in a deep voice: "I understand that if you don't say anything about the Lin family's children, you still have grudges in your heart. Not to mention that she actually asked someone to smash your club, which makes you feel even more embarrassed."
Seeing Lan Tianye not speaking, Old Man Lan shook his head and continued, "You, have you ever thought about it? Why did I listen to someone's phone call and ask Zhang Bao to smash it there? Don't think I don't know, tell me yourself, how much happened to the Tiandi Club in the past two years? Which time did you rely on your family's power to suppress it?"
Lan Tianye was silent. He naturally knew that his grandfather was right. The Tiandi Club was able to become one of the top clubs in Beijing because of his deep background. If he hadn't suppressed a lot of things, the Tiandi Club would have been sealed off long ago.
"Ono, grandpa is old." Old Master Lan sighed and said to his grandson: "You must know that our Lan family is now looking at the glory, but whether it is your father or your second uncle, they are still at the ministerial level. The power of our Lan family in the central government has gradually weakened. Otherwise, how could the third brother of the Lin family take away your second brother's main hall this time?"
After a pause, he helped his glasses and exhaled a breath of turbid air and said, "It was okay when my grandfather was here, but if one day my old man closed his eyes, I was afraid that you father and son would be stepped on by others. Do you understand this principle?"
Lan Tianye nodded. He naturally knew what his grandfather said. The situation in the Lan family is not optimistic now. There is no one in the central government who can represent the interests of his own faction. Only his father and second uncle are the governors in the west, and the other is the secretary of the provincial party committee in the northeast, struggling to support the family.
It can be said that the reason why the Lan family still has the momentum of the current wealthy families in the capital is that the old man is still alive and those old relationships still maintain friendship with the Lan family.
As the saying goes, if there is an old man in the family, it is even more so in political families. Even if an old man like Mr. Lan does nothing, as long as they are still alive for one day, the significance of the entire family is self-evident. It can be said that it is like the jade pillar that supports the sky. As long as the old man does not fall for a day, the sky of the Lan family will not collapse!
"Grandpa, what do you mean is someone to deal with our Lan family?"
A flash of inspiration flashed in his head, and Lan Tianye asked. He was not a fool. Since the old man said that, he must have received some news. It seems that as the change of leadership is coming, a new round of game between major families is about to begin. However, judging from the current situation, the Lan family should have formed an alliance with the Lin family. But what he didn't understand was why the girl from the Lin family could make so many old men pamper him.
Mr. Lan shook his head but didn't say anything. He knew that his grandson was capable and scheming, but he had no intention of his career. If he didn't point out the matter to him, he would always find a way to get it out.
"Amano, you can go to the place in a few days." Old Master Lan said lightly, half-closing his eyes: "Remember that girl in Lin family, don't offend her at any time. The person standing behind the child is not something you can mess with, do you understand?"
Lan Tianye nodded and naturally understood what grandpa meant. The moment he walked out of the yard, Lan Tianye stopped, but did not turn around. A low voice came: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely support the Lan family!"
Old Master Lan smiled and didn't say anything. But when Lan Tianye's figure was about to disappear, the old man murmured to himself in great comfort: "Child, grandpa will hold on for you for ten years!"
Just as the grandson of the Lan family was talking, Lu Rui had just gotten up. He was so tired last night that he went back to the hotel and talked to Lin Ruolan for almost an hour. He didn't know what time it was when he was sleeping. If I hadn't called him in the morning, Lu Rui wouldn't have gotten up at all.
Looking at the scars on the corner of Lu Rui's mouth, Owenhai frowned and whispered: "What's going on? Are you fighting with someone?"
Lu Rui smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Don't mention it. I had a conflict with my girlfriend's brother, but the matter should be over."
Owenhai was stunned: "Do you have a girlfriend?"
Nodded, Lu Rui smiled and said, "Secretary Ou, I am also in my twenties. Isn't it normal to have a girlfriend?"
Owenhai smiled embarrassedly and patted Lu Rui on the shoulder: "You, call the girl out and I'll see you when you have time. See what kind of girl it is, and you can conquer you."
Lu Rui smiled and was about to speak when he heard the ringtone of his cell phone ringing. He picked it up and looked at it. A sweet smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He pressed the call button and said, "What? I called me so early, is there anything wrong?"
Of course, Lin Ruolan was Lin Ruolan on the other side of the microphone, but Lin Ruolan, who had always been very calm in front of Lu Rui, seemed a little nervous at this time, and even the tone of speaking was different from usual. She seemed to be hesitating. After a while, she whispered under Lu Rui's urging: "Well, do you have time tonight?"
Lu Rui was stunned, frowned, and then replied: "Secretary Ou and I bought a plane ticket tomorrow afternoon. I plan to accompany him to visit the capital during the day. What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"
Lin Ruolan nodded, let out a sigh, and seemed to have made a great decision before saying, "That, that, my grandfather wants to see you!"
