In the carriage, there were crowds of people, and noises could be heard from time to time in the crowded space. Shu Ran, who never liked crowded spaces, was squeezed at the door of the car. Several times when he stopped and opened the door, he had to step out of the door to let people behind him get off.
She was like a soulless doll in the crowded crowd, swaying when someone pushed her, until there were fewer people in the carriage. When she arrived at the terminal, she was holding the door railing.
She looked around and realized that there was a lot of space around her, and there were a few people sitting on the seats looking at her with strange eyes.
This girl, there were so many empty seats around her that had been empty for a long, long time, but she stood there holding the armrest for so long!
A beep sounded in the carriage, indicating that the terminal was about to be reached. At this time, Shu Ran came back to her senses and watched the train slowly enter the station. When the door was opened, she frowned slightly.
She has already sat through two stations!
When she walked out of the train door, she looked at the unfamiliar station and the unfamiliar faces around her. She stood numbly on the escalator and went up the road. She stood in the wide ticket waiting hall and looked at the people rushing by around her.
The blazing white light was so dazzling that she stretched out her hand to cover her eyes. For a moment, she was frightened by the insecurity brought about by this unfamiliar environment. In that moment, she squatted down and covered her face with her hands, like a
The lost child squatted in the crowd and cried sadly!

"Young Master, Madam has returned to Jiahe, and the work arrangements here during the Chinese New Year have been arranged. Look -" Guan Yang looked at the planned itinerary and asked Shang Qingwen if he had any other arrangements.
Shang Qingwen took the tablet and took a look at it. He marked several dates with his fingers. Guan Yang understood it and after taking it, he postponed all the work arrangements for those days.
"How do you answer the time arrangement for things over there?" Shang Qingwen, who had been silent for a long time, spoke in a low voice. Guan Yang was stunned for a moment when he put away the tablet, "The young master was talking about the date of signing the contract with Dingmao.
Arrangement? The eighth day of the new year!" Strangely, the young master decided this time himself. Did he, who always has an excellent memory, forget it?
Shang Qingwen raised his eyes, his face looked slightly tired. Hearing Guan Yang's words, he said lightly: "I'm talking about the reply from Europe!"
Guan Yang was stunned for a moment, and then answered truthfully after regaining his composure: "I've already contacted you, and they said it would take ten days at the earliest!"
Shang Qingwen raised his eyebrows, threw the cigarette butt between his fingers into the ashtray, and said decisively, "Increase the price, double the price, and I will see the finished product by the end of the month!"
Guan Yang showed a troubled expression, no way, how could it be so fast?

In Jiahe Yinjia Villa Community, Grandpa Ran, who was playing chess with himself in the living room, opened the chess book and raised his head when he heard the footsteps on the stairs. He glanced over there and saw Grandma Ran coming downstairs.
Then he put down the book in his hand, raised the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and asked softly: "Are you asleep?"
Grandma Ran walked over slowly and nodded gently. At this time, Sister Fei brought the brewed tea into the living room. When she put down the cup, she said hesitantly: "The lady today is a little strange!"
Just as Sister Fei finished speaking, Grandma Ran frowned, looked at Lao Ran, and then continued, "This child stood silently at the gate today. I don't know how long she stood there. I didn't see her until I opened the door.
She is as cold as a popsicle!"
Grandpa Ran frowned and took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose. His eyes were heavy, as if he was thinking. When he raised his eyes, his voice became softer and he asked, "Have you asked her about that?"
Grandma Ran looked a little unhappy when she heard this, "Lao Ran, I don't want to object, but this matter happened faster than I expected. I haven't digested it yet!"
Grandpa Ran sighed, sat up and slowly began to collect the chess pieces. He glanced at his wife and said, "Young people should handle their own affairs. We will not interfere!"
A flash of pain flashed across Grandma Ran's face, "That's what you said again. You were the same way with your son's marriage back then. You didn't interfere. In the end, the two of them split up, leaving Ran Ran with a miserable child that no one wanted. This family has already experienced this once
In a failed marriage, we have reason to have the responsibility to care about Ranran's marriage, Lao Ran, am I right?"
Grandpa Ran seemed to have been pained as well. The incident between his son and daughter-in-law had always been a major disaster for the Ran family. The sequelae of this incident was that their relationship with their son and daughter-in-law had become rigid and completely broken. He looked towards
He looked at his wife and shook his head slightly, "But aren't there still you and me? She is not an unwanted child! Don't talk about this!"
"Old Ran!" Grandma Ran wanted to say something more, but Grandpa Ran had already stood up and said with certainty, "Honey, Qing Wen is not Qidong, I believe him!"
Grandma Ran looked at him getting up and exhaled heavily while frowning, "Lao Ran, do you trust him so much?"
On the second floor of the villa, Shu Ran was already lying on the bed, taking a bath. At this time, her body was not as cold as before. She couldn't believe that she had walked back from that station today. It was two stations and three miles away.
She actually walked back step by step on high heels.
There were some bruises on her ankles. When she soaked them in hot water, she discovered that there were blisters on the soles of her feet. She used a needle to prick them and squeeze out the water, which relieved the pain a little. She looked down at her bruised ankles and couldn't help but smile mockingly.
He was taunting himself for his behavior this afternoon. When did he have this kind of masochistic tendency?
The charging cell phone placed by the bedside rang for the third time. Shu Ran lifted up her sleeves and slowly untied the medical bandage on her wrist and glanced at the cell phone. She caught a glimpse of Shu Tongya's name flashing on the screen of the cell phone.
She hesitated for a while and then pressed the answer button. There was silence on the phone for a while. Neither of them took the initiative to speak. Shu Ran felt the strange silence. After a long time, she heard the message from the other side of the phone that Shu Tongya was exhausted.
The voice said, "Let's come out and sit down sometime!"
For several days in a row, the calls she dialed were either hung up or no one answered. Today she suddenly didn't answer the call. She had been gathering what she wanted to say for so many days but didn't know how to express it at this moment, so she finally just said it.
Such a sentence could not be more ordinary.
Come out and sit!
Shu Ran's hand that was untying the bandage paused. She didn't know if she pulled it too hard. The pain on her wrist made her face show an expression of pain. She reached out to touch her nose and looked up.
There was a bright light flashing in his eyes from the lamp above his head.
Shu Tongya on the other side of the phone didn't say anything else, but the voice on the other side was a bit abrupt.
"Ms. Shu, please go over there to get the medicine, and then ask you to go to the attending doctor's office. The doctor is waiting for you in the office!"
The call was hung up at this moment, and Shu Ran's eyes tightened. Is she in the hospital at this time? Is Uncle Qin's health in trouble again?
Shu Ran's heart tightened and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous, both for Shu Tongya and Uncle Qin!
Shu Ran had always known that Uncle Qin was not in good health. When she returned to China, Uncle Qin was in the hospital. She went to the hospital without telling Shu Tongya, but did not let Qin Houyuan know that she had found Qin
Hou Yuan's attending doctor learned of his illness. If it hadn't been for knowing about Qin Houyuan's illness that day and the problems in the capital chain within Qin's enterprise, she would not have risked the money with He.
Qianxun was involved, so she used some tricks to divorce He Qianxun. She needed money, and it was really a last resort at that time!
So if there is any hatred towards He Qianxun, it can't be considered. On the contrary, Shu Ran is quite grateful to him and grateful for his generosity, which gave her the opportunity to help Qin Houyuan!
Shu Ran was thinking about whether to call Shu Tongya back to ask about the specific situation, but at this time there was a knock on the bedroom door, and Grandma Ran stood at the door, "Of course, can Grandma come in?"
Shu Ran hurriedly hid her hands that had not yet taken off the bandages under the quilt. When her grandma came in, she leaned against the bedside, met her concerned gaze and smiled.
She considers herself not a good actor, but in front of her family, she has to give full play to her acting skills because she doesn't want the people she cares about to worry, especially her grandfather and grandmother!
"Of course, I'll come up and get you some oranges to eat. You can try them. These oranges are very sweet!" Grandma walked over slowly, walked to the bed and put down the fruit plate. She looked at Shu Ran who was lying on the bed, lovingly.
She smiled and said, "Here, eat a piece of it!" She picked up a piece of it and put it to Shu Ran's mouth. Shu Ran opened her mouth and bit in. It was extremely sweet and refreshing.
The sweet fragrance in Shu Ran's mouth slowly extended from her throat to the bottom of her heart along with the slightest hint of coldness. Looking at grandma's loving smile, her heart was suddenly warmed to the point of wanting to cry.
"Of course, can grandma give you a hug?" Grandma Ran said suddenly, a trace of emotion flashed in her eyes with a loving smile. When Shu Ran was in a daze, she stood up and leaned over, reaching out and hugging Shu Ran.
He murmured: "My good granddaughter, you will always make grandma feel so distressed, but you will grow up one day. Growing up means having to face many, many things independently.
You are already very independent, but of course, don’t forget that you still have grandpa and grandma behind you!”
Shu Ran, who was lying in grandma's arms, felt sad for a while. She already vaguely knew what grandma wanted to say and what she wanted to express. It was just that the way of expression was very obscure, but she understood!
Grandma Ran patted her back and said softly: "Qing Wen brought back all the things you bought. Guan Yang drove here himself in the afternoon!"
Shu Ran was startled. She raised her face and looked at grandma. Her face was full of shock. He, is he here too?
As soon as she heard the name, Shu Ran couldn't help but shrink in her heart, and the fear in her heart surged out again. She tried her best to hide her inner fear, looked at her grandma, and bit her lips when she opened them.
As for the trembling lips, "What does he mean?"
Grandma Ran looked at her facial expression and felt a little worried. She let go of her and sat on the edge of the bed, "Of course, tell grandma, did you really get the certificate with him?"
Jiahe is not far from City D, and Grandpa Ran also has the habit of subscribing to newspapers. In addition, they received a call from their son that day and told him the general story. How could they not know?
Paper can never cover up the fire, even though Shu Ran had already made some plans in her heart, but at this time, facing grandma's frank inquiry and her expectant eyes, she felt uncomfortable in her heart. Grandma hoped
She could live a better life if they knew that he -
"Of course, is he treating you badly?" Grandma looked at her expression and felt nervous. To be honest, she was actually very optimistic about the child just like Grandpa Ran, but this was all from their perspective.
Marriage is like a matter of drinking water, and they know it. They cannot make the most direct judgment for their granddaughter. Seeing Shu Ran's stunned expression, Grandma Ran's heart tightened, and she held her hand a little harder.
"Of course, don't be afraid. If he really treats you badly, we will not recognize this marriage. It doesn't matter what kind of family he is, or what aristocratic family he is. We don't care about these. We just want you -
- Cough cough cough -" Grandma Ran coughed uncontrollably as she spoke, and her face became a little pale due to her abnormal mood.
"Grandma!" Shu Ran grabbed her hand tightly and said hurriedly, "He is very good to me. Grandma, he is very good to me. If he is not good to me, how could I marry him? Grandma,
he--"
Shu Ran grabbed her hand tightly and hugged her tightly, like a child who was afraid of losing his beloved toy. He leaned on her shoulder and nodded desperately, "He is good to me, grandma! Really!"
Really, he can cook and make the light dishes he likes.
He hung 500 million little bells in the square overnight, just because she said, do you have 500 million little bells?
Like a pampered child, he would buy her marshmallows on the street regardless of other people's opinions.
he----
Under the dim light, with the ropes tightly wrapped around her limbs, she was like a puppet on the big bed, being occupied by him wantonly. She screamed and cried crazily, which in exchange for his intensified plundering.
Scenes of images were spinning in her mind. She was lying on her grandma's shoulder, her eyes turned red. Her hands on her grandma's shoulders were tightly grasped together, and she clasped her injured wrist tightly with her palms.
My face was buried deeply into ***'s shoulder. When I said the last two words, "really", my heart hurt as if it had been torn alive by a knife.
Grandma Ran came out of the bedroom and touched her shoulder. It was already wet. She touched her shoulder and tightened her grip. She went downstairs to the study and looked at Grandpa Ran seriously when she entered the door.
"For this marriage, you should go back to Shang Zuoming!"

At the exit of D City International Airport, Guan Yang looked at the watch on his wrist and saw that someone had already come out from the business class exit. He saw that familiar figure, dressed in cold business men's clothing, with nothing but a bag in his hand.
Carrying a simple business bag and a paper bag, he walked out slowly and unhurriedly with steady steps. The tall figure of the man was a bright scenery, and he attracted many people when he walked out of the station.
People passing by often look back.
"Young Master!" Guan Yang went up to him and took the bag in his hand. His eyes quickly glanced at the paper bag, and he was slightly startled. He couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Shang Qingwen strode out of the terminal. After exiting the gate, he got into the black business car that had been waiting for a long time. As soon as he got in the car, he raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. He raised his eyebrows and said, "The highway to Jiahe has been unblocked."
No?"
"Not yet, young master, there was a heavy snowfall yesterday afternoon, and the highway has been closed until now, and it has not been unblocked yet!" Guan Yang got in the car and did not start the car, but waited for Shang Qingwen's decision. Today
On New Year's Eve, the young man hurried back from Brazil and even thought of going to Jiahe before he got home. It was really like returning home!
It's just that the madam's attitude is hard to figure out!
"When is the last subway?" Shang Qingwen frowned.
"Ten o'clock!" Guan Yang replied. It's only seven o'clock now, which is quite early!
"Send me to the subway station!" Shang Qingwen said, glancing out of the car window, his eyes touching the gray sky, his brows furrowed tightly, "Has anything special happened in the past two days?"
Guan Yang, who was driving, was stunned for a moment, then replied: "Yes, young master, Mr. Shang has been to Ran's house!"
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
Jiaheran family.
"Of course, pass Grandpa a plate, a bigger one for fish!" Grandpa Ran waved the spoon in the kitchen, and Shu Ran quickly took out a large plate from the cupboard and ran away.
In the past, she was wearing a tight turtleneck sweater and a small white apron. Her long curly hair was pulled up high. When she trotted over, she looked like a happy little skylark, holding a plate in her hands with a smile on her face.
He handed it over and said, "Grandpa Chef, here are the plates!"
Grandpa Ran stretched out his hand and scratched her little nose, "Little naughty boy! Just like when you were a child! Go help grandma make dumplings, don't think about eating ready-made dumplings!"
Shu Ran touched her nose and stood aside aggrievedly, "No way, I helped post couplets in the afternoon, and I also helped make buns and egg dumplings!"
"Hey, you remember everything you have done so clearly, you little lazy fool! You can't even break it with ten fingers!" Grandpa Ran laughed.
But Shu Ran stood in the kitchen and did not go out to bake dumplings as he wanted. Grandpa Ran was a little confused. He pricked his ears and seemed to hear someone talking on the phone in the living room. He suddenly understood and asked Shu Ran to help put the dishes.
The cooperation was so tacit that no one broke it, but after Shu Ran finished placing the plates, she couldn't help but whisper, "Grandpa, I'm sorry!"
Grandpa Ran, who was about to make shredded apples, was startled when he heard this, and shook his head slightly, "Silly boy, this has nothing to do with you, don't take everything on yourself, it's not your fault!"
Really? Shu Ran felt sour in her heart. The call her grandma answered was from her father, but grandma was always cautious when answering his calls. She was afraid that Shu Ran would hear it. It wasn't that she wanted to avoid her, but she was afraid that she would feel sad thinking about those things.
Unhappy things, in order to give Shu Ran a good family atmosphere, the old couple never mentioned her father in front of her. Even the last time her grandma was sick and hospitalized, they didn't tell their son.
But Shu Ran understands that grandma loves her father because he is also her biological flesh and blood!
When facing her son and granddaughter, she still chose to take her granddaughter's feelings into consideration. Grandma has also been very lucky and miserable over the years, right?
"Everyone should be responsible for what they have done. However, your father did something wrong. Even if it fades away with the passage of time, the damage he caused has been done and cannot be forgiven!" Grandpa Ran said,
He was a little absent-minded. Seeing Shu Ran's slightly startled expression, he smiled and said, "Of course, go bring the shrimp over and pick out the threads!"
Shu Ran nodded, walked to the dining room, picked up the plate of shrimps, and started picking with toothpicks. She hadn't been back to celebrate the New Year for two years, but at this time, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. There were three people in the family.
Everyone has his or her own destiny. In fact, grandpa is right. Although time can dilute all the damage, the damage has already been done. How can it be diluted if it is engraved in the heart? But as time goes by,
The unsolvable knot in my heart slowly turned into hatred!
The top of the toothpick accidentally pricked her wrist. She lifted up some sleeves and took a look. The marks on her wrist had dissipated and her wrist was still bright. She could no longer see the dark red mark, but it had hurt.
So even if you touch the restored skin, you can still feel the heartbreaking pain that day.
"Of course, are you okay?"
In the kitchen, grandpa started to call her, and he quickly picked out the shrimp threads on the plate of shrimps with a "Oh" and brought it over.
New Year's Eve is an ancient and festive day for family reunion in China. It has a long history. The Chinese people pay attention to tradition, just like the previous New Year's Day, which was decorated with lanterns and colors and was full of joy.
For such a reunion dinner, it seemed a bit deserted for the three of them to sit together, but both grandpa and grandma were in good spirits. The meal was particularly heartwarming, but Shu Ran did not miss the regretful expression in grandma's eyes from time to time.
After dinner, Shu Ran was a little full after the meal. Her grandparents were busy calling some old friends. She also received a congratulatory call from Lin Xuejing. Shu Ran returned to Jiahe that day and did not return to D City.
, she had already taken care of her work matters, and the school was on holiday. She stayed at home for several days, and the only one who could remember her was Lin Xuejing.
As for the calls she made, she selectively answered them, and the most frequent calls were from Lin Xuejing.
The sound of the TV in the living room was a little loud. Shu Ran opened the door of the living room and went to the yard. Looking at the snowflakes falling under the street lamp, she opened the door and walked out. Snowflakes were flying in the sky and the earth. She held the phone and pointed it at the phone.
Over there, Lin Xuejing shouted loudly that it was snowing. Lin Xuejing wailed over there and said, Shu Ran, you are probably out of sleep. You have never seen snow. Shu Ran ignored her and stepped on the layer of snow accumulated at the door.
She stepped on the thin snow, rubbed her hands, and was about to speak when there was a loud bang behind her. The deafening sound made her cover her ears and scream, and her phone fell to the ground.
A small crater was made in the snow at her feet. She covered her ears and hurriedly stepped back. Someone blocked her back gently, which gave her a place to rely on. She covered her ears and hid behind her.
, the snow boots were still stepping on the snow piled up at her feet uneasily, for fear that someone would suddenly throw another firecracker and explode at her feet.
A low laugh sounded above the head, with a thick nasal voice coming out slowly, "Are you scared?"
Shu Ran was so frightened by the voice that she trembled, raised her face and met his eyes!
----Alele, I'm going to die, I'm going to be so busy tomorrow, alas... The update is finished today---
