In such a chaotic scene, Lan Yaozong really couldn't keep Luo Shan anymore. Her persistence made him nod and reluctantly whisper, "Okay, I promise you, I won't force you to recognize your ancestor and return to the clan. You take care of yourself,
There's nothing wrong with me here, don't put the burden on yourself, you know?"
"Thank you, Dad, I'll take note of it." Luo Shan lowered his head, with sour eyes that he didn't dare to look at anyone anymore, turned around and walked towards the car parked in the yard.
"Qiao Luoshan!"
A sudden roar made Luo Shan stop suddenly. She did not look back, but the tears in the corners of her eyes fell like broken beads...
Shao Tianchi hugged her shoulders and did not turn around. Complexity and helplessness filled his eyes.
"Qiao Luoshan, listen, I can accept that you don't love me, but I will never accept that you are my sister! Get out of here! Get away! Don't let me see you again!"
Lan Siheng's words, breathing heavily and filled with deep hatred, were like the sharpest daggers, piercing Luo Shan's heart every word. She lost all strength in her body and her legs became weak. When she fell, she was hit by Shao Tianchi.
With a hug, he strode to the front of the car, opened the rear seat door, and placed Luo Shan on the seat.
The car slowly drove out of the gate, drove onto the driveway, and then disappeared from the eyes of everyone behind it like an arrow from the string...
…
In the hotel room, Luo Shan fell into a deep sleep. Originally, they planned to visit Pei Zeming's house in the afternoon after visiting the Lan family. However, after what happened, Luo Shan needed a quiet space to heal, so Shao Tianchi took her there.
I got a room in the hotel and stayed with her quietly.
At four o'clock, Luo Shan received a message on his mobile phone, and Shao Tianchi opened it casually. It was a letter from Mu Fan: at 8:30 p.m., Building A, No. 19, Yinghua Road.
He put down the phone, held his head and thought for a while, then picked up the phone and sent a reply: Okay, I'll be there on time.
Luo Shan slept until after five o'clock and then opened her eyes. She had a severe headache. She rubbed her temples and asked in a hoarse voice, "Has Mu Fan ever looked for me?"
"He sent a message and made an appointment to meet at 8:30." Shao Tianchi said softly, gently pressing her temples with his long fingers to massage her acupuncture points.
Luo Shan felt much more comfortable, and she said lazily, "It's late, I want to lie down for a while. You can wake me up when it's almost time."
"Silly girl, it's time for dinner. You can't go hungry." Shao Tianchi patted her face, "Wash your face and wake up. I'll order dinner."
"oh."
The dinner was very sumptuous, and it was Luo Shan's favorite Sichuan cuisine. Unfortunately, she was too preoccupied and had a poor appetite, so she didn't eat much. Shao Tianchi managed to finish half the bowl after trying hard, and put down his chopsticks.
Shao Tianchi was helpless and distressed. He hugged her and said softly: "Xiaoshan, time can heal all wounds. Don't worry. Young Master Lan will get through it, and Mrs. Lan will also let go."
Luo Shan looked at a certain place in a daze, and his eyes gradually became filled with water...
City B at night is full of lights, feasting, and excitement.
The hustle and bustle of the busy city gradually disappeared behind him, and the car slowly drove into a secluded tree-lined avenue and stopped in front of a quiet club.
Shao Tianchi got out of the car, went up and asked the waiter at the door, then asked Luo Shan to get out of the car, and led her into Block A, No. 19 Yinghua Road.
The door of the box opened and when the two of them entered, Mu Fan was drinking. There were several empty beer cans on the table. His manager was urging him impatiently, "You can't drink anymore. What will happen if you get drunk?"
What to do? If we are caught by the paparazzi, we will be in trouble!"
"Leave me alone, get out!" Mu Fan's eyes were slightly red, he raised his elbow to the manager, and shouted in displeasure.
The agent wailed with a disheveled look on his face, "My little ancestor, can you do it if I don't care about you? I get your father's salary of millions a year. I am not only your agent, but also your nanny and housekeeper. Where do you start from?"
From a personal perspective, everyone has to take care of you, right?"
"Give me..." Mu Fan wanted to say something more, but when he turned to point to his manager, he saw the person standing at the door. He then grinned, "Okay, my sister is here, you wait for me in the car.
"
The manager followed his gaze and wiped the sweat from his forehead as if he was relieved. He stood up and said, "Please take care of Afan and don't let him drink anymore. I'm outside. If you need anything, come to me."
.”
"Okay." Shao Tianchi nodded, watched the agent go out, and carefully closed the box door.
Luo Shan walked quickly to Mu Fan. She looked at his drunken appearance and said worriedly: "Mu Fan, why are you drinking?" Then she looked at Shao Tianchi and asked, "Have someone cook a bowl to drink some water."
Wine and tea.”
Shao Tianchi nodded, turned around and walked out the door.
Mu Fanla sat on the chair next to Luo Shan. His tall body was as soft as cotton and leaned on her shoulder. Like a wronged child, he hugged Luo Shan with both hands. His eyes were red with sadness.
He whispered softly: "Sister, I am in a very bad mood, very bad..."
Luo Shan's heart twitched, her delicate fingers caressed the back of Mu Fan's head, and said softly: "Afan, tell sister, what happened?"
"Sister, I met... saw the old man of the Lan family this morning." Mu Fan uttered a vague sentence and closed his eyes heavily. His heart felt like a mountain was weighing on him, making him unable to breathe.
Luo Shan tightened her fingers, her face turned a bit pale, and a bad premonition arose in her heart. She pursed her lips, "Well, what happens next?"
Shao Tianchi pushed the door open and walked in. He was slightly startled when he saw their brother and sister hugging each other closely. Luo Shan raised her eyes to meet his puzzled eyes and tugged her lips lightly, "Tianchi, Afan...
"
"Brother-in-law!"
Mu Fan quickly sat up, rubbed his eyes in embarrassment, and said casually: "Sorry, I lost my composure."
"It's okay." Shao Tianchi sat down opposite Mu Fan and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you today? You seem to be in a low mood."
"Early this morning, my dad called me and said that the old man wanted to see me. I have grown up for twenty-four years. In fact, the old man knew about my existence as early as when I was eight or nine years old, but he never
When I am his grandson, in his eyes and heart, only Lan Siheng is his legitimate grandson. I am just an illegitimate son. The mother is not noble and the son is even lower. So I have never had the chance to meet him. To this day, he is the first
When he summoned me for the first time, I thought he finally wanted to recognize me. In fact, he was indeed who I thought he was, but I didn't expect that he had additional conditions."
When Mu Fan said this, his eyes were full of mockery. He picked up another can of beer and drank a few big gulps. Luo Shan frowned and took the can of wine from him sadly, "Afan, stop drinking.
Your body is your own, and you don’t have to waste your health for others!”
Shao Tianchi stared at Mu Fan with his deep eyes and said in a clear voice, "What are the conditions?"
"Yes, what conditions did the old man put forward?" Luo Shan also pricked up his ears curiously, making random guesses in his mind.
Mu Fan smiled coldly, "Our great grandfather actually proposed that I sever the mother-child relationship with my biological mother and call Lan Xin's mother Jiang Li my mother. From now on, I will never see my biological mother Mu Yafang again. Then I
Then you can recognize your ancestors, change your surname to Lan, and become the second young master of the Lan family!"
"Ah? Why is this like this? Isn't this tearing apart your mother and son?" Luo Shan's eyes almost popped out of his eyes in shock, and he swallowed hard, "Then, do you agree?"
Mu Fan half-smiled, "Sister, do you think I will agree?"
"No!" Luo Shan shook his head firmly and said angrily: "How is this allowed? How can a person deny his biological mother? This old man has gone too far!"
Shao Tianchi's dark eyes were as deep as the sea. He spoke slowly and calmly, "I can understand the intention of the old man of the Lan family. In fact, he has no other way to go. If Jiang Li is no longer alive today, then
Mu Fan's mother can renew her relationship and marry Lan Yaoqing as his wife. Mu Fan can naturally become a member of the Lan family. Or Mu Fan's mother Mu Yafang passes away and only Mu Fan is left. Then the old man and Lan Yaoqing will also
Even if Jiang Li was dissatisfied with being able to take Mu Fan back smoothly, she could only accept it. Who told her not to give birth to a son for Lan Yaoqing? But after so many years, the two women are still alive, so one husband and two people cannot break the law.
Wife, and the Jiang family is also a wealthy family in the provincial city B City, and is connected to many of Lan's businesses, so it is not appropriate to have a stalemate. Under such circumstances, the old man must consider Jiang Li's face and thoughts, and give up the car to save the handsome man. After all, Jiang Li is the
The wife of the Lan family's Ming Media. In fact, it is not easy for Jiang Li to do this, because she suffers from heart disease. Even her two daughters, Lan Xin and Lan Xue, have inherited heart disease, especially Lan Xue.
It was serious, so Lan Yaoqing had no choice but to have an extramarital affair and give birth to a child. Jiang Li should have known about it for a long time, but she kept holding back. As long as Lan Yaoqing didn't bring the outside woman and son to the house, she would not reveal it.
After all, in today's society, few men can be loyal to their wives and do not keep lovers outside. Moreover, she cannot live up to her expectations and cannot blame others. But now that Mu Fan is older, Lan Yaoqing, considering various reasons, wants Mu Fan to
Fan returned to the Lan family, so this secret matter had to be put on the table. Jiang Li could tolerate Mu Fan's surname being Lan and entering the Lan family, but it was definitely impossible to tolerate Mu Yafang entering the Lan family. Therefore, this matter
The result of the discussion was the condition that the old man put forward."
Hearing this, both Mu Fan and Luo Shan fell into silence. Luo Shan was speechless, while Mu Fan seemed to be crying and laughing, his eyes wandering. After a long time, he said sadly, "Brother-in-law's analysis is so thorough.
.”
"Then have you rejected the old man this morning?" Shao Tianchi pursed his lips and frowned lightly.
Mu Fan nodded, with deep sadness in his eyes, "Well, I refused on the spot. My mother worked hard to raise me alone. She is the person I love most in the world. If I want to be rich and powerful,
If I abandon her, am I still a human being? Besides, I don’t need to be rich. What I care about has never been money. That’s it. I don’t bother to enter their Lan family. Anyway, after so many years, I have already got used to it.
Now, everyone goes his own way, and no one interferes with anyone else."
"Afan, my sister supports your decision." Luo Shan gently held Mu Fan's hand and smiled softly at him, "I also refused to recognize my ancestor and return to the clan. We both have similar backgrounds. Regardless of the Lan family's
Whether people recognize us or not, no matter what happens, we are brothers and sisters and it has nothing to do with anyone else."
Mu Fan looked at her with a lump in his throat, "Sister..."
"Afan, my brother-in-law will not change either." Shao Tianchi smiled lightly and joked, "But the premise is that your sister will not kick me out of class."
Mu Fan was finally amused, "Haha, just because my brother-in-law was in a plane crash, my sister is desperate to die for her infatuation with you. She will never do it. On the contrary, I am worried that one day, brother-in-law, you will like the new and dislike the old, and control the temptations outside.
If you can't help it, you've turned my sister into a concubine!"
"Yes, yes, Shao Tianchi, please listen, my natal brother doesn't believe you!" Luo Shan's mood was affected, and he started teasing, with a smile on his lips.
Shao Tianchi's mouth twitched, "Afan, I'm actually more infatuated than your sister, okay?"
"Haha, you see, you can overturn the jealousy at every turn!" Mu Fan laughed, and his gloomy mood was swept away. Thinking of Shao Tianchi's jealousy in City A, he couldn't help but laugh even more cheerfully.
Luo Shan also kept laughing, "That's right, I'm still jealous of Afan!"
Shao Tianchi was silent, a little regretting the joke he made to lighten the atmosphere...
The waiter knocked on the door and brought him hangover tea. Mu Fan drank it happily, and the three of them got up and left.
City B at night is still bustling and chaotic. The colorful lights flashed by neon lights reflect the people of all colors coming and going, some are sad and frustrated, some are happy and excited, or some are intoxicated and indulgent. Indulgent scenes are staged in various places.
Drama...
Who says that drama is like life and life is like drama?
Years later, when Luo Shan recalled the scene tonight when Mu Fan hugged her and was as sad as a child, she would always get wet in her eyes. No matter how impetuous this society is and how people's hearts are influenced by money and interests, in Mu Fan
In the heart of Fan, there is always a pure land, pure and unadulterated...
…
In the end, Lan Xue did not survive this autumn. When her bad news came, Luo Shan was eating mooncakes. The mooncake symbolizing reunion in his hand fell to the ground with a bang and broke into pieces...
That day was the Mid-Autumn Festival.
It was only about ten days since she last visited city B.
Qiao Luobing called from overseas. Tens of thousands of miles away, the cry seemed to crush the world, leaving only darkness...
Lan Xue's ashes were transported back to City B. On the day of the funeral, the autumn rain was as thin as an ox's hair. God seemed to sense the sadness. It started raining all day long from midnight.
Luo Shan made a special trip to City B to attend the funeral. She had never seen Lan Xue. She only heard Qiao Luobing describe her as a beautiful and flawless girl who lived up to her name and was as pure as snow. She was like a girl who could not eat the world.
The spirits of fireworks accidentally fell into the mortal world and were not stained by dust.
At this time, staring at the photo of Lan Xue mounted on the tombstone, Luo Shan couldn't help but mist his eyes. This elf who died young was even more beautiful than Qiao Luobing said, with long black hair floating on his shoulders and perfect facial features.
Her skin is flawless, her skin is like snow, and her eyes are exceptionally beautiful, clear and pure, seeming to have penetrating power, reaching straight into the human heart and being able to see clearly the filth in the human heart.
In the rain and fog, many people in the Lan family stood with their backs stiffened and sad. Only Lan Siheng was sitting in a wheelchair. The old man of the Lan family was supported by others, using crutches to support his body, bent over, and unable to stand upright with sadness.
Get up.
Luo Shan and Luo Bing were standing on the far side because they were not qualified to be at the front.
Luo Bing stared fixedly at the tombstone. Perhaps he was so sad that he couldn't even cry. He remained motionless with a sad and sad expression...
Lan Xin kept crying, her voice suppressed at first, then she couldn't help but burst into tears, threw herself in front of the tombstone, touched Lan Xue's photo, and couldn't help but cry...
The autumn rain is continuous, and the raindrops fall on the head, but what gets wet on the body is the strongest and most fragile heart of a person...
After a long time, people turned around one after another and walked down the steps step by step through the rain. Luo Shan turned around slowly, his eyes penetrated the blurry rain curtain, and he was startled!
Halfway up the stone platform, Mu Fan held an umbrella in one hand and stood silently in black clothes. He stood behind the curtain of his own identity, quietly seeing off, paying homage to the sister he had never met...
The peaked cap covered most of his face. No one could recognize who he was, and no one could have imagined that the popular star would appear in the B City Cemetery at this moment. Therefore, when the Lan family's relatives and friends passed by him, they just
They looked at him curiously for a few times, and then moved forward again. No one would guess what this person was doing here. In their eyes, he was just a stranger...
Luo Shan quickly squeezed through the crowd and ran towards Mu Fan. She stood still in front of him. He moved the umbrella above her head and took out a handkerchief to gently wipe the rain off her face. The two of them did not say a word.
, but understand each other’s thoughts clearly.
All the relatives of the Lan family were gone, and only Lan Xue's closest relatives and the unmoving Qiao Luobing were left in front of the tombstone.
"Come up?" Luo Shan asked softly.
Mu Fan pondered for a moment, then took Luo Shan's hand and walked up the steps to the tombstone step by step.
"Afan!"
The moment Lan Yaoqing saw Mu Fan, he whispered, "Why are you here?"
People here already knew about the relationship between Luo Shan and Lan Yaozong, so they were not too surprised by Luo Shan's appearance, but Mu Fan's arrival was so surprising!
Luo Shan didn't want to recognize his ancestors, but Mu Fan was set up by the Lan family so that he couldn't step in. Even so, Mu Fan came!
"I'm here to send...Lan Xue."
Mu Fan's expression was indifferent, and he stumbled over the address. He ignored anyone's emotional gaze, took out two small white flowers from his coat pocket, bent down and placed them in front of the monument, and then bowed deeply.
After the ceremony, he didn't stay much, turned around and left.
"Afan, where are you going?" Luo Shan blurted out and asked, looking anxious, just worried that he would drink too much again and hurt his body.
Mu Fan turned around, stared at Luo Shan, and smiled lightly, "Sister, I am going back to Switzerland to stay for a while, it may be a long time. If you miss me, you can come visit me with your brother-in-law. My mother is very good at cooking. She is very good at cooking."
You are welcome to come to my house as guests."
"Afan..." Luo Shan pursed his lips, tears suddenly mixed with the rain and fell down, "I, I will see you off. If I have a chance, I will definitely come to your house to visit your aunt."
Lan Yaoqing closed his eyes deeply, as if he had aged for many years in an instant...
Jiang Li glanced at Lan Xue's face blankly, shedding tears...
Lan Xin moved her lips a few times, trying to say something, but ultimately nothing came out.
"Mu Fan!"
A heavy call made everyone look at him. Mr. Lan slowly walked over. Under the cover of the rain, his expression could not be seen clearly. He could only feel his sadness and desolation. He stared at Mu Fan and Luo Shan, and wriggled his lips.
, the old hoarse voice, mixed in the sound of the rain, seemed very far away, "You two... come back."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked!
Luo Shan was briefly absent-minded, and when she met Lan Yaozong's hopeful gaze, her thoughts slowly returned, but she shook her head, "I'm sorry, although my body is bleeding from the Lan family, I still hold more than half of the Qiao family in my heart, so
I am not only my father’s daughter, but also the daughter of the Qiao family, and the daughter of Qiao Guoping! My only surname is Qiao!”
Mr. Lan's body trembled slightly. He turned to look at Lan Yaozong in disbelief. The latter said helplessly, "Dad, forget it. Shanshan has made up her mind. Let her surname be Qiao. We know in our hearts that she is our child.
Enough."
Lan Yaoqing was afraid that Mu Fan would be stubborn, so he took the lead and said: "Afan, thank you grandpa quickly!"
Mu Fan also shook his head, "No, after so much experience, I have figured it out. It doesn't matter whether the Lan family recognizes me or not. As my sister said, my mother raised me and I am his son.
My surname will always be Mu. Throughout life, nothing is more important than family ties."
"Afan!"
Lan Yaoqing raised his voice anxiously, "Don't you think about Dad? Dad is your only son!"
"Dad, you don't have me, Lan Xin, and your wife, and my mother has nothing if she loses me, so I'm sorry, I can't agree." Mu Fan took a deep breath and closed his eyes, "
Dad, please take care of me from now on. No matter where I am, I am still your son, and this will not change!"
After saying that, he hugged Luo Shan and said, "Sister, don't send me away. I don't like others to send me away. Take care of yourself and call me when you get married."
"Afan..." Luo Shan's eyes were filled with tears, "You should also take care, don't drink anymore, it will hurt your health..."
Dad. Mu Fan nodded in agreement. After letting go of Luo Shan, he turned around and hugged Lan Yaoqing, forcing a smile on his face and said, "Dad, thank you for being tolerant to me over the years. I was too willful. I'm sorry."
.”
Lan Yaoqing was extremely moved, "Afan... Dad doesn't blame you, not at all, really."
Mu Fan finally left alone, just like when he came, he came quietly and left quietly, but it affected the mood of many people...
Qiao Luobing guarded Lan Xue and refused to leave, and did not allow Luo Shan to accompany him. After everyone left, he sat in front of the tombstone until late at night...
Lan Siheng did as he said that day. When he saw Los Angeles, he was like a stranger, with nothing in his eyes. He came and went without saying a word.
However, the day after Lan Xue was buried, Lan Siheng left home and disappeared. No one knew where he went. He only left one sentence: To the ends of the world, everyone has his own way back, don't miss it, don't look for it. 13acv.
Luo Shan bent over, holding his face in tears...
