Chapter 85
"Xiao Ran, you..." Lan Jingqian was not prepared for any reason and froze for several seconds before he realized, "Why did you suddenly ask such a question?"
Tang Ran shook her head: "It's not a sudden thing. I've thought about this question for a long time."
She hesitated for a while and said honestly: "Actually, after I met my uncle for a while, I doubted it."
"What do you doubt?"
"...Uncle is not my new driver at all, right?" Tang Ran held the bedside on both sides of her legs and slowly raised her face, and then she chuckled. "It may not be good to say this, but since you met, when you were with your uncle, you did not show any conversation or vision like an ordinary driver."
Lan Jingqian's expression was complicated: "Did Xiao Ran doubt it just because of this?"
"Of course not." The girl shook her head again and counted her fingers, "And there is also the freedom of uncle to enter and exit the Tang family without applying in advance, and the places where my uncle took me to relax and relax, and...
At this point, even if Lan Jingqian didn't want to make Tang Ran's mood fluctuate at this moment, he had to admit it.
He smiled helplessly: "Is it because we, Xiao Ran, are we too smart, or are we showing too many legs?"
The little girl who was listing suspicious points was stunned. A few seconds later, she slowly put down her hand holding the counting and whispered: "Actually, there is the most important point."
Lan Jingqian asked: "What is it?"
Tang Ran said: "Luo Zhan."
Lan Jingqian was stunned.
The ward was quiet for a moment.
The girl sitting by the bed shook her drooping calves: "Uncle's attitude towards Luo Zhan is different from that of others. You seem to have been familiar with each other since the first meeting, like two old friends."
“…”
Lan Jingqian, who was poked, felt a sense of silence and instinctively concealed his smile: "Xiao Ran, Luo Zhan and I have different personalities. It can be said that they are a bit confrontational. How could they be old friends?"
"That's right." Tang Ran nodded seriously, "But your opposition is not malicious, sometimes a little naive, so you seem to be very familiar with old friends who are having an awkward relationship."
Lan Jingqian froze.
"I don't know my uncle so well, but I know Luo Luo." Tang Ran added, "Before my uncle was my driver, I had never seen Luo Luo get along like this."
Lan Jingqian's thoughts were taken apart for a second, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "You have known Luo Zhan for a long time than you have known me, right?"
Tang Ran was stunned. Even the calves that were shaking gently beside the hospital bed stopped.
After a moment, the girl came to her senses and smiled a little embarrassedly: "I don't know why, but I always feel that I have known Luo Luo for a long time."
“…”
Lan Jingqian sighed silently.
Tang Ran: "Luo Luo is very outstanding and proud. Such a proud Luo Luo will regard it as a friend who is in harmony with you and is in line with your age. I only know one person."
Lan Jingqian's expression stopped and he slowly raised his eyes.
Tang Ran: "When I think of that person, I remembered again. On the day you uncle, Uncle, the first time you appeared, someone at home told me that Luo Zhan, the friend named Lan Jingqian, had been to the Tang family that day and asked me about it."
“…”
"So uncle," Tang Ran asked softly, "Are you Lan Jingqian?"
After a long silence, Lan Jingqian slowly sighed: "It's me."
Tang Ran's closed eyelashes trembled slightly: "Uncle, who am I?"
Lan Jingqian's hand hanging down on his side shook, then clenched into a fist. A few seconds later, he turned his head and his clenched teeth made his cheekbones tremble slightly.
"uncle?"
"―" The breath that was held in a fierce voice was spit out by Lan Jingqian's trembling voice.
He turned around and spoke in a hoarse voice: "Tang Shixin is not your father."
Tang Ran was suddenly stunned.
As if it was stretched to a static time, she heard the sound in her ears as if it was transmitted back from the horizon -
"I am."
“…………!”
.
"There is no change in the drop of medicine. It mainly ensures that the intraocular pressure is reduced before the operation. 0.25% Eselin Eye Ointment will be prepared in advance for eye encapsulation. In order to facilitate the operation, the patient will have some preparations to do before entering the operating room. When I enter the ward later, I will remind the patient and tell the family what to do."
"good."
On the corridor, Luo Zhan listened to the nurse in charge explaining the preoperative medication and examination, while returning to the single ward where Tang Ran was located.
Turning around the corner, Luo Zhan saw Lan Jingqian standing in front of the window opposite the ward. Luo Zhan stopped and frowned slightly: "Why didn't you go in? Let Ranran be alone in it?"
"Don't go in first." Lan Jingqian turned around and stopped Luo Zhan who was about to open the door.
Luo Zhan frowned and looked back: "What's wrong?"
"Xiao Ran said, she wanted to stay for a while."
"Why did Ranran say this suddenly?"
"..." Lan Jingqian was silent for a long time, "She got it."
"I know what--"
Luo Zhan's voice came to an abrupt end.
The overly intelligent brain quickly and instinctively reminisces the greatest possibility that will lead to the situation in front of you in a short period of time.
His hand, which he held on the sliding door of the ward, dropped down and clenched into a fist.
Before the nurse could react, Luo Zhan, whose expression suddenly became cold, walked to Lan Jingqian in a few steps, and raised his hand and directly grabbed the man's collar -
"Are you crazy? Why should you tell her at this time? Jia Junxi said there should be no emotional fluctuations before the operation, don't you hear it? What if it affects her surgery?!"
The nurse who came with Luo Zhan came back to her senses and her face changed. She hurriedly stepped forward to stop the two of them: "Family, please calm down - don't argue outside the ward, as this will disturb the patient!"
The last sentence successfully made Luo Zhan suppress his emotions with scruples. He turned around and looked at the closed ward door.
When he turned back, Luo Zhan's eyes were as cold as ice: "You'd better explain it to me."
Lan Jingqian smoothed the shirt that was wrinkled and was calm and looked calm: "Tang Ran is my daughter, and the matter between us father and daughter has nothing to do with you."
"She is your daughter, but she will not mean less to me than to you." Luo Zhan gritted his teeth, and his cheekbones on his side cheeks trembled. "I have sworn that no one will hurt her anymore - even if you are her father, there will be no exception!"
"Yeah?"
After a while of silence, Lan Jingqian slowly raised his eyes.
"But what step can you do for her, Mr. Luo?"
Luo Zhan: "I will do what I can do for her in the future. No one else needs it or deserves to know."
Lan Jingqian said in a deep voice: "I am her father."
"Father?"
Luo Zhan turned his head and a loud laugh came out of his voice. He turned back, his eyes as cold as ice.
"Tang Ran is soft-hearted. I knew that one day she would recognize you in the future, so I respect you and respect you-but don't think that this means you are qualified and speak shamelessly in front of her!"
“―!”
Lan Jingqian was poked into the pain and glared at Luo Zhan without suppressing his anger.
Luo Zhan came to the sight with no weakness: "Why, Mr. Lan disagrees? But I was too tactful and scruples in the past, and even made Mr. Lan really think that you have the capital to take the identity of Tang Ran's biological father as a too high!"
Lan Jingqian frowned: "What did you say?"
Luo Zhan raised his right hand and slowly slammed his fist under Lan Jingqian's shoulder.
"Remember what I said today, Lan Jingqian."
"In front of Tang Ran, whether it is you or the Tang family, or even your old lover who married abroad - you don't have the right to do whatever you say to Tang Ran, so what if you are her parents and family? I have been ignoring my daughter for seventeen years and letting her suffer all the hardships. What are you bullshit parents?! Who cares about your difficulties?"
Lan Jingqian was extremely angry and ashamed. Not long after, a faint red bloodshot was covered in her eyes: "What about you?"
Luo Zhan didn't say anything and looked at him coldly.
Lan Jingqian looked up: "Yes, we are not qualified, so I have been blaming and suffering day and night after I know the truth. I tried my best to compensate her and want her to be happy - but why are you?"
Luo Zhan's eyes froze.
Lan Jingqian's voice was low: "Do you know why I don't want you to be with Xiao Ran? Because you are so strange, Luo Zhan."
Luo Zhan's eyes were cold: "I'm strange? I like Ranran, what's so strange about this?"
"Like?" Lan Jingqian repeated mockingly, "I know better than Xiao Ran, what kind of person you are, so everything you do to Xiao Ran is aggravating my doubts - the more you treat her, the more you are so good to her, so good that you go against your own nature, or even against the selfishness in human nature and animal instincts, the more uneasy I am, the more I want to know what is the reason why you hide the deepest!"
Luo Zhan clenched his fists: "Just as I just said, any reason or difficulty is not important, only behavior and result are important."
"No, it is very important to me." Lan Jingqian said, "If you want to protect Xiao Ran, I will do it too. Even though you hate me for not being a father, and even if you condemn me, I will accept it all. But the same - before I knew the reason for you, in the identity of Tang Ran's biological father, I will never accept you."
“…!”
In the tense atmosphere, the nurse standing next to her stared at the two bullfighting men with headache. She was afraid that if she was not careful, the two would fight together.
