Early in the morning on the first day of the new year, Shi Ran packed his backpack in advance.
There is a price to pay for striking first, and she knew what she was about to face.
When the family of three was having breakfast in the morning, Shi Ran told Shi Jianning and Liu Min that she had broken up with Cheng Xiuyan.
Shi Jianning's porridge spoon clinked and fell back into the bowl. Liu Min's hand that was about to pick up the pickled mustard shook, and then she slapped the chopsticks on the table, "What did you say?!"
Shi Ran bit her to death and felt that she was not good enough for Cheng Xiuyan. She felt very low self-esteem when she was with him. The two families were not in the same family. She and Cheng Xiuyan had different living habits. Cheng Xiuyan's consumption level was too high. She was just a country bumpkin who only bought clothes.
How can a piece of thirty or fifty yuan be compared with someone else's three to five thousand yuan for a random shirt?
Taking advantage of someone has to be repaid, and Shi Ran doesn't want to be looked down upon by the other person's family. She wants to be independent, make money and live her own life, and she must not be a parasitic girl who clings to men.
Liu Min's face turned blue and white. Shi Ran didn't say a word about Liu Min, but touched Liu Min's heart with every word. He humiliated her and filled her mind with clinging thoughts. In just a few words, she became anxious.
"You don't even have the ability to find a rich man to marry, so why should you ask me to find a rich man?" Shi Ran didn't wait for Liu Min to lose her temper and added fuel to the fire. She deliberately wanted Liu Min to explode today.
Liu Min gritted her teeth with hatred. She wanted to slap Shi Ran so hard, but Shi Ran had grown up long ago and had a figure similar to hers. Liu Min might not be able to get any advantage if she really did it.
Seeing that Liu Min was still hesitating, Shi Ran smiled coldly, "Do you think Cheng Xiuyan respects you? What do you mean in their eyes? You have no idea? With a stepmother like you who is greedy for material things, how can he give you a few gifts?
The gift is enough for you, can he cherish me? You don’t have to use your brain to think about it."
Liu Min was shaking with anger. She turned to Shi Jianning and said, "Listen to what your daughter said!"
Shi Jianning was still immersed in the pleasant aftertaste of his drunken break with Cheng Xiuyan, but at this moment, there was a sudden turn of events, and he had no time to react.
After being complained by Liu Min like this, Shi Jianning seemed to have come to his senses and glared at Shi Ran fiercely, "How can we just separate?"
"Every advantage has been taken advantage of by others. What benefits can you get from dividing it now?" Liu Min clenched her fist and slammed the table. "I think you are just being pretentious. She was fine when she came the day before yesterday. I gave it to your dad as a gift."
Give me wine, give me a bag, I wish I could change my name to my parents!"
Shi Jianning followed Liu Min in his mind and immediately turned to the money, "There has to be a breakup fee, right? We can't let him take advantage of it in vain!"
Shi Ran was fed up with the constant talk about money at home, and said, "He never took advantage of me, and I didn't let him touch me at all."
"There's something wrong with you!" Liu Min didn't know what to scold, so he stood up and pulled Shi Ran's arm, "Let's go! You take me to his house, and I'll have a talk with him. Why should we break up? He must
If you don’t want to, don’t mess around!”
"Go on your own." Shi Ran shook off Liu Min and said in a strange tone, "You are so satisfied with him, why not go over and ask him, maybe he will marry you. If you divorce my father, we will be married soon.
I will be the rich wife of the Cheng family."
Shi Jianning rounded his arms and slapped Shi Ran hard on the face, "Pah!"
Shi Ran's face was hit sideways, and a bloody hole was made on his teeth at the corner of his mouth. Half of the blood flowed to his chin, and the other half turned into a fishy-sweet taste in his mouth.
If she hadn't resisted like this, if she hadn't pushed Liu Min into a panic, if she hadn't forced Shi Jianning to slap him, Shi Ran might not have been able to say the truest words in her heart.
During the few seconds when Shi Jianning realized that he had failed and his eyes were blank, Shi Ran slowly turned his head and looked directly into his father's eyes.
"Dad, you supported her when she wanted to sell me. I asked her to sell herself, and you got so angry? Do I deserve to be at her mercy and help her make money to satisfy her vanity?
"
"The old model is telling you nonsense!" Shi Jianning became angry, "She is your mother!"
"My mother died a long time ago." Shi Ran wiped the blood on his chin with the back of his hand and stood up with red eyes, "My mother would not treat me as a cash cow."
"You didn't kill your mother!" Liu Min pushed Shi Ran hard on the shoulder.
Shi Ran was unprepared and lost his balance. He stumbled a few steps to the side, and his shoulder hit the cabinet beside the wall where the sundries were placed, causing pain.
"Your mother was hit by a car when she picked you up from school, and you were the one who killed her!" Liu Min pointed at Shi Ran's face, "You still have the nerve to mention your mother, but you are deliberately making your father feel uncomfortable, right? You are such a supercilious child.
Wolf! We raised you so big in vain!"
Mentioning his biological mother was not part of Shi Ran's plan.
She could resist Liu Min's nonsense, and she could withstand Shi Jianning's slap, but she couldn't bear to have the guilt of her biological mother's unexpected death forced upon her.
After holding on to the cabinet to steady himself, Shi Ran glanced at Liu Min coldly, and then glanced at Shi Jianning. He pursed his lips tightly at the moment and would not say a word for her.
Shi Ran went back to the room, picked up his backpack, and walked out of the house without stopping for a moment, with his head lowered.
It was a fifteen-minute walk to the subway station. Shi Ran gritted his teeth and held back from crying.
Shi Jianning called three times, but she didn't answer.
As he was about to enter the subway station, Cheng Xiuyan called. As soon as he answered the call, he immediately asked: "Did you get beaten?!"
You can guess with your heels that Liu Min must have asked Cheng Xiuyan in anger, so he received the news so quickly.
"Don't worry about it. Block them. Don't pay attention to my affairs anymore. Thank you." Shi Ran hung up the phone.
Cheng Xiuyan arrived at Century Avenue anyway, knocked on the door a few times, and Shi Ran opened the door with half of his face swollen. Cheng Xiuyan took a breath when he saw her appearance.
Inviting people to the living room, Shi Ran made no attempt to hide the injuries on his face, made Cheng Xiuyan a cup of flower and fruit tea, and sat down across the coffee table.
She guessed that Cheng Xiuyan would not give up caring about her just because of a phone call.
Like it, even if Shi Ran has never practiced this kind of relationship, she has seen Lin Huan enough and knows that once she has feelings, it is not so easy to let go.
Cheng Xiuyan pretended to be stupid and said he didn't know what happened after he was drunk.
Shi Ran didn't talk in circles with him. Regardless of whether Cheng Xiuyan really didn't remember or was pretending to have amnesia, she repeated Cheng Xiuyan's words at that time exactly as they were.
"I can explain." Cheng Xiuyan took a few sips of water nervously, "At my age, it's normal for my family to force me to get married, right?"
Shi Ran nodded, of course it was normal.
"You can find a fake boyfriend to take care of the family, but I can't find a fake girlfriend?" Cheng Xiuyan dug his fingers on the tea cup, and his fingertips were a little white from the exertion, "Logically speaking, the same thing, we
It makes sense that we can help each other.”
This statement can indeed leave more room for each other.
But Shi Ran thought that perhaps it was because Cheng Xiuyan always left room for such a habit that Lin Huancai always found it difficult to break through, but he couldn't let it go.
