Before Luo Zhan went downstairs, he made a special trip outside Old Master Luo's study.
When he got there, he didn't go in, just stood outside the door and waited. About five minutes later, the thick and simple double doors of the study were pushed open, and a man in a suit came out.
Stepping into the corridor, the coolness in Luo Xiu's eyes did not fade. As soon as he looked up, he saw his half-brother, Luo Zhanzheng, leaning in front of the wall with his trousers pocketed lazily, apparently waiting for someone.
Luo Xiu slowed down and smiled lightly: "Your blind girl came to this floor?"
Luo Zhan, who just heard the movement and raised his eyes, paused when he heard the words, "What does it have to do with her?"
Luo Xiu smiled: "According to how much you value her this afternoon, I thought you would follow her inseparably."
"… "
Luo Zhan snorted unhappily.
This kind of "handle" fell into Luo Xiu's hands, and he would be firmly grasped by the other party and he was not surprised at all - it turned out that he had expected it long ago, but he still chose that way on the stairs of the annex building in the afternoon. Can't blame.
Luo Zhan frowned, "I have something to do with you."
Luo Xiu: "Tell me."
"Didn't you already wish grandpa's birthday? Don't show your face at the later banquet tonight." After Luo Zhan finished speaking, he looked at Luo Xiu mockingly, "Anyway, you don't really like that kind of occasion, and your heart is clearly cold. It's like an ice cube, but you have to wear Zhang Siwen's mask every day - are you tired?"
Luo Xiu didn't answer directly, but lowered his head and smiled, "Are you afraid that I will show up and be discovered by your invisible little girl that you are not Luo Xiu at all?"
"Well, yes." Luo Zhan responded lazily, with a generous attitude.
Luo Xiu: "So it's obviously you who came to me for help, how do you say it like you want to give me a bargain?"
Luo Zhan said lazily: "Mutual benefit and win-win?"
"Things that are only of practical benefit to you are not called mutual benefit and win-win." Luo Xiu smiled gently.
"… "
Luo Zhan was silent for a few seconds, and then laughed, but his eyes still showed a little indifference: "I heard that you want to start your own media company - Grandpa won't let it?"
Luo Xiu smiled warmly, his eyes calm.
Luo Zhan: "You promise me not to show up tonight, and I will help you solve any difficulties later."
Luo Xiu lowered his eyes, "I know that your int has improved a little in the past two years, but it shouldn't be time for this kind of package?"
"But at least, grandpa's staring at me is far less than staring at you." Luo Zhan walked over with a sloppy expression, "I can understand your determination to get rid of the Luo family as quickly as possible and leave all the burden to me, after all, in this regard I'm no less anxious than you - but you're still a little too anxious, so the old man caught me by the tail, right?"
Luo Xiu lowered his eyes, still his gentle smile, gentle and harmless.
But it is also under this masked smile, the man's tone when he speaks again is already cold: "If you are mad at me now, then I may choose to tear down your 'mutual benefit and win-win' if I am not rational enough. ' Bureau."
With that said, Luo Xiu raised his eyes and smiled, "If I guessed right, you lied to that little girl because you were afraid that she would know that you were Luo Zhan—the one who was going to be engaged to her sister. She really knew that. , will she hide away from you immediately?"
Luo Zhan immediately frowned. After a long silence, he glanced at Luo Xiu unhappily, "Then I'll take it as your agreement." Luo Zhan dispelled his emotions, turned around and prepared to go up the stairs.
The voice behind him stopped him: "How did you and that little girl named Tang Ran know each other?"
"… "
Luo Zhan paused. After a few seconds, he stopped and turned around, "Why are you asking this?"
Luo Xiu smiled lightly, "Curious. After all, in my impression, you only like girls with beautiful eyes—although according to your standards, there may not be any beautiful eyes in this world at all."
"Yes, but you didn't have the fate to see it." Luo Zhan replied coldly, "And who said I like Tang Ran? It's just a little girl who hasn't grown."
Luo Xiu: "I don't like it, you still come to me to help her?"
The air was silent for a few seconds, Luo Zhan returned to his senses, and smiled lazily and coldly: "So you like it? ... I don't care about you, it's inexplicable."
After speaking, suppressing the unspeakable irritability in his heart, Luo Zhan turned around and started again.
The laughter behind him caught up, making people even more anxious—
"Really don't like it?"
"I don't like it." Luo Zhan's face was cold.
"You said it yourself, don't go back on it later."
"… "
Stopping at the entrance of the stairs, Luo Zhan sneered, gritted his teeth slightly, and walked downstairs with a bit of anger with himself—
"I said, whoever repents is a dog."
After the dinner officially started, Tang Ran had been sitting alone in the corner of the terrace venue.
This is a show for young people. The elders couldn't chat with the group of twenty or so children, and they didn't embarrass them. The Luo family arranged a separate banquet venue for them on the most spacious terrace on the second floor of the main building.
The younger generations of the aristocratic family all intersected with each other, so naturally they would sit together in groups of three or five according to their attributes.
With such a large terrace, there are many juniors, probably only Tang Ran is an exception.
After the popular science of gossip lovers, those who had never heard of the banquet now know that she is the illegitimate daughter of the Tang family.
Since they came to the Luo family, there is no one who has not heard the rumor that Young Master Luo is going to marry the eldest lady of the Tang family—
In this way, behind Tang Luoqian stood the entire Luo family, and naturally no one dared to take the risk of offending Tang Luoqian to contact Tang Ran.
As a result, the young people at the entire dinner were "tacitly" cooperating with Tang Luoqian to snub the illegitimate daughter of the Tang family.
The little girl huddled alone in the darkest corner of the banquet, her thin figure almost blended into the dark night, and outsiders looked a bit pitiful.
Tang Ran was used to it.
It's the same at home or outside. The world of the blind has nothing to do with color. Nature has nothing to do with richness, fun, and vividness.
The only small problem though is...
"Luo Luo," the little girl pursed her lips and whispered to the ai on her phone, "I'm a little hungry."
Amid the noisy noise, Tang Ran put her ear to the mobile phone and heard the lazy and cold voice with some magnetic electronic sound, and replied to her with a half-smile: "Are you picky eaters again?"
Tang Ran sighed and put down the phone: "I don't have it. Luo Luo, you are so stupid."
ai laughed coldly, "Society, you and me, and civilization depends on everyone—do you think I would say this? You are stupid."
"… "
Although he had heard this answer many times, Tang Ran couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
But soon she couldn't laugh anymore, and rubbed her stomach with a bitter face—
After showering, changing clothes and having some refreshments in the annex at noon, Tang Ran had not touched rice water all day. It was a buffet banquet in the evening. Without the familiar dining environment at home, Tang Ran didn't have the embarrassment to ask Luo's servants to provide convenience.
Tang Ran felt a little embarrassed when he heard the empty city sing in his stomach. She hesitated, thinking that no one would pay attention to her at the banquet, so she secretly nestled on the armrest of the sofa.
Holding her chin up in the noisy environment for a while, the girl hummed softly to distract herself.
When the little girl was huddled together, in the center of the banquet surrounded by everyone's eyes, there was someone whose brows were more tightly furrowed than hers.
"Young Master Luo," the young man next to him couldn't stand it any longer, he hesitated, "You seem to be absent-minded this night, or do you have a bad throat?"
"… Um."
Luo Zhan responded perfunctorily, frowning and withdrawing his gaze.
He leaned forward and picked up the cup in front of him, handed it to his lips and took a sip, clenching the knuckles of the cup. His eyes drifted to a corner again.
The person next to him didn't notice it, "I saw the eldest lady from the Tang family at the next table came over several times. Master Luo, would you like someone to come and sit-"
Before he finished speaking, Luo Zhan, who had a cold face, finally couldn't hold back after seeing the little girl's hand unconsciously rubbing against her stomach.
He frowned, and the glass in his hand slammed down on the table.
This movement shocked the young people in this small central venue, and even Tang Luoqian in the nearby group couldn't help but look over.
"—Young master?" The servant who was near walked over in a dazed and frightened manner, not knowing where the young master was annoyed. "What's wrong with you?"
"… "
Luo Zhan frowned and pressed back the sentence "I can't take care of even a guest", and said coldly, "I'm hungry."
maid:"?"
The servant turned his head cautiously, made sure that the long banquet tables around him were filled with sumptuous buffet items, and then turned back with difficulty: "Master, what do you want to eat? I will immediately let the kitchen prepare it."
Luo Zhan thought for a while, "Milk."
As the corner of the banquet hall quieted down, Luo Zhan lowered his voice guiltily, for fear of being heard by the little girl in the corner.
The servant was even more dumbfounded: "Cow, milk?"
"Um."
Young Master Luo's tone was lazy and cold, and he added expressionlessly:
"One cup per person, it must be finished."
Everyone: "...?"
Why did he want them to drink milk when he was hungry
When everyone fell into the silence of doubting life, a servant from Luo's family ran up quickly outside the terrace.
The man went straight to Luo Zhan's table and stopped: "Master, the old gentleman asked you to go to the study."
Luo Zhan frowned, still in a low voice, "What are you going to do in the study?"
"The old man didn't say anything."
"..." Luo Zhan frowned and stood up.
He had just left the sofa, and the servant carefully added: "The old gentleman also said, let the young master bring the young lady of the Tang family with you."
"."
Luo Zhan's eyes turned cold.
Everyone heard this, and subconsciously turned to look at Tang Luoqian at the next table.
Tang Luoqian was still stunned, and Bi Yushan pushed her next to her. She regained her senses, her face flushed, and quickly stood up and walked towards Luo Zhan.
Luo Zhan frowned.
He glanced at the servant coldly, "She doesn't have long legs or you won't bring them?"
After he finished speaking, he didn't even glance at Tang Luo, who came over, and was about to leave.
The servant hurriedly stopped him, "What the old gentleman said was to ask you to bring the two young ladies of the Tang family with you."
"—"
Luo Zhan's figure suddenly stopped.
After a few seconds of dead silence, Luo Zhan slowly loosened his frown.
His eyes fluttered to the corner—
The little girl on the sofa didn't hear it, and was still there, a small shadow.
Luo Zhan looked away, and the cold emotion faded from Qing Jun's face.
"… Oh, I see."
