Chapter 237: Pretending to be invisible is the deadliest
Chapter 237 Pretending to be the deadliest invisibly
Jiang Ran didn't have a deep impression of Zhou Ge. He only remembered that he was the big brother next door who was very good at reading and got first place in every exam. From time to time, he would hear news about him from adults, and they would all get all kinds of compliments, such as
I got first place in the final exam again, won prizes in some competitions, and so on. I was completely like "someone else's kid".
Even when her grandma was educating her when she was a child, she would blurt out: You should learn from Zhou Zhou! This caused the children in their area not to like this good student very much. And because she was two years older, she rarely played with her when she was a child.
Go together.
Later, she entered high school and began to prepare for the intense college entrance examination, and she didn't even pay attention to it. But one day she suddenly found that the next door was empty. After asking her grandma, she found out that his parents divorced and moved away, and he also went to study abroad. From then on
There was no contact again.
Jiang Ran really didn't expect that after so many years, her grandparents would actually want to introduce Zhou Ge to her, and they would take the person home directly.
"Well...it's almost noon, why don't we all stay for lunch?" Grandpa Jiang rubbed his hands in embarrassment and suggested aloud.
"Ah, yes, yes! Let's all stay for lunch." Grandma also reacted and broke the deadlock with a smile, "I just happened to buy a lot of vegetables early in the morning, so I will let you try grandma's cooking today."
"So, thank you for your hard work, grandma." Fan Chen did not refuse and thanked him seriously, but looked sideways at Zhou Ge next to him.
Jiang Ran also thought that Zhou Ge would take this opportunity to say goodbye. To his surprise, he smiled and nodded, "It's been a long time since I've eaten Grandma Jiang's cooking, so I won't be polite." After saying that, he raised his head towards Fan Chen.
Looking over, there seemed to be sparks crackling between the two for a moment, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little weird.
"Okay, okay...Xiao Chen, right?" Grandma Jiang thought of something and looked at Fan Chen with a kind smile. Maybe it was because her granddaughter brought him back. The more she looked, the more satisfied she became, and her voice became softer.
, "If you have any taboos, tell grandma."
"Thank you, grandma, for your trouble. There's nothing I can't eat, but..." He suddenly looked back at Jiang Ran and added, "If possible, can you leave out the coriander?"
"Don't eat coriander? What a coincidence, my family hasn't eaten it since she was a child." Grandma Jiang smiled more and more satisfied.
Jiang Ran's heart softened, and he couldn't help but tighten his hands. He didn't eat coriander, he just remembered her habit.
"Let Grandpa Jiang chat with you for a while, lunch will be ready in a while." Grandma Jiang's face froze with laughter, she turned to look at Jiang Ran again, winked desperately and said, "Ranran, come over and help Grandma pick vegetables.
"
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the kitchen. Jiang Ran pulled Fan Chen to the sofa and sat down, and quickly turned around and followed him.
As soon as she entered the kitchen, grandma immediately closed the door. While turning on the faucet, she lowered her voice and said angrily, "What's wrong with you kid? Why didn't the person you were talking to say hello to us just take him back?"
Already."
"Don't I want to give you a surprise?" Jiang Ran quickly stepped forward and pulled her sleeves, shaking her coquettishly and saying, "Grandma, don't you always urge me to find a partner every time you come home? So?
I picked the best one, what do you think?"
Grandma Jiang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but nodded, "Not to mention, the young man is indeed handsome, and he seems to be very sensible and polite. If I had known that you were in love, why would I have brought Zhou Zhou back to do this?
It’s so embarrassing now.”
"By the way, grandma, why do you suddenly want to introduce me to Zhou Ge?" Jiang Ran couldn't help but ask. Although grandma is conservative, she is not a stubborn person. She just thinks that she has reached the right age to get married, so she speaks smoothly.
By the way, she is not forced to get married. So I have never arranged a blind date for her before, and this is the first time.
"It's not your Aunt Wang!" She sighed and explained, "When we were dancing in the square a while ago, she told me that Zhou Zhou had returned from studying abroad and was still asking about you. She seemed to be thinking about you. I
Thinking that you are of the right age and have grown up together and know each other well, I agreed. I also thought that you would come back on the weekend, so I asked him to come over on the weekend."
"Why is he asking about me?" Jiang Ran was stunned and a little surprised. She was not familiar with him.
"I didn't know that you didn't all play together when you were kids, and I thought you were always in contact." Grandma shook her head, thinking about the embarrassing scene outside, and said with a headache, "But since you have a partner, you brought him here.
If you see us, tell Xiao Zhou clearly so that there won’t be any misunderstanding.”
"Don't worry, grandma, I understand." She was also very curious as to why Zhou Ge was looking for her? Is there something else? It couldn't be that he had a crush on her!
"That's okay." Grandma Jiang felt relieved, but she couldn't help but be curious when she thought of her granddaughter's partner, "By the way, tell grandma, how did you meet that Xiaochen? What does he do? How is the situation at home?"
"He..." Jiang Ran smiled and then introduced him in detail.
The two of them were chatting animatedly in the kitchen, but the atmosphere in the living room was a bit strange...
Grandpa Jiang glanced around at the two people on the sofa who were at war with each other, and could only smile awkwardly, "Hehehe... drink tea, drink tea. Xiaochen, right? Where are you from?"
Fan Chen picked up the teacup in his hand and answered seriously, "I... am a local from City C, and my home is just to the west of the city."
"Oh, the locals are nice, the locals are nice!" Grandpa Jiang nodded with satisfaction. They only have a granddaughter, so naturally they don't want her to marry far away.
"The west side of the city seems to have just been planning to enter the city in the past two years." Zhou Ge suddenly spoke, looking at Fan Chen with some hostility and said, "I wonder where Mr. Fan is employed?"
Fan Chen's eyes narrowed slightly and he replied in a deep voice, "Currently, I have started a small business."
"Oh, it turns out you are starting a business on your own." Zhou Ge nodded, a hint of arrogance appearing in his brows unconsciously, "With today's economic situation, it's quite difficult to start a business."
"It's okay, thank you for your concern." Fan Chen frowned.
Perhaps seeing the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two, Grandpa Jiang quickly interjected, "By the way, Zhou Zhou, you just returned to China not long ago? Have you found a job?"
"Grandpa Jiang, I have found it a long time ago." Zhou Ge smiled, the arrogance on his face became more obvious, deliberately glanced at Fan Chen and said, "I have joined the Research Institute of University A, and I am following Professor Chen recently.
Doing an important archaeological project, if successful, may push human history forward for thousands of years."
"Oh oh oh..." Grandpa Jiang didn't quite understand what he said, so he could only nod in cooperation.
Fan Chen, who was standing next to him, suddenly said, "Professor Chen...Chen Zhiru?!"
"Mr. Fan has also heard of Professor Chen?" Zhou Ge looked at Fan Chen with some surprise, "He is a top expert in ancient history research in China. He is not only a visiting professor at University A, but also at several top universities."
"Yes." Fan Chen took a sip of tea and replied calmly, "When the Linhai Ancient Tomb was excavated a few years ago, I went to the site to guide for a period of time. He was one of the people who came to observe and learn.
So after taking him for a while, he can be regarded as... my student."
