In front of the main entrance of the Tang family, there was a car that arrived earlier than the Luo family's motorcade. The two young people next to the car didn't go in after they got off, they just smiled kindly with the security guard, and then they stood by the car chatting and waiting.
The security originally wanted to come forward to ask, but considering the important guests who were notified by the host in advance today, they didn't know if this was an "advance team", so they hesitated and didn't dare to act rashly.
After a while, the Tang family's family got a notice, saying that the Luo family's motorcade was approaching.
Mr. Luo personally paid a visit to him, and he would be greeted by the oldest generation in the host's house. So Mrs. Hang from the Tang family brought her son Tang Shixin, daughter-in-law Lin Manmei and granddaughter Tang Luoqian to the front door ahead of schedule.
In order to welcome the arrival of Mr. Luo, the Tang family started to repair the flowers and plants in the front yard one day in advance. After coming out, old lady Hang glanced at the front yard and was ready to nod her head with satisfaction, then she saw the two young people beside the car.
The old lady paused, frowned, and turned to her side: "Shixin, are those two from the family?"
Tang Shixin said, and looked in the direction indicated by the old lady. Seeing the appearance of the two young people clearly, Tang Shixin was stunned for a moment.
The security guard at the front door of the Tang family and the rest of the Tang family couldn't recognize the two young people beside the car, but Tang Shixin recognized it—it was none other than Tan Yunchang and Lin Qianhua from the int laboratory.
Tang Shixin wondered why the two were here, but at this time he could only answer his mother first: "No, those are Luo Zhan's two classmates."
"Luo Zhan's classmate?" Mrs. Hang frowned and looked over, "How did you meet?"
Tang Shixin: "They came to the house before and made a special trip to send Xiaoran the bionic robot customized by Mr. Luo from abroad."
The old lady Hang's eyes were slightly cold, and then she said, "then why did they come here today?"
Tang Shixin shook his head: "I don't know."
The old lady Hang was silent for a few seconds, and waved to the side. The housekeeper on duty today trotted over: "old lady?"
"Call the two young men over."
"Yes."
The steward immediately turned around and walked out, and after a while, he came in with Tan Yunchang and Lin Qianhua.
Lin Qianhua was a little restrained, but Tan Yunchang was familiar with her, with a bright smile that looked like a flower. When he came in, he greeted Tang Shixin first: "Oh, what a coincidence, Uncle Tang, I didn't expect to see you when I came out today."
"… "
Tang Shixin stood at the door of his house, wondering if he was choked by this "coincidence", but he shook his head and smiled helplessly when he regained his senses.
Tan Yunchang's attention quickly turned to the little old lady who was not tall but had dignified eyes. He was still smiling: "This is Grandma Tang, right?"
As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person.
Even if the old lady didn't like the frivolous character of the younger generation, she couldn't blame her, she just frowned and asked coldly, "Do you know me?"
"Isn't that right?" Tan Yunchang raised his head and looked familiar, "I often heard Xiaoran mention you before—you don't know, Xiaoran and I are friends. I heard that you have been very kind to her over the years and have taken good care of her. It's very good, I love her like a granddaughter, I've always wanted to find an opportunity to thank you in person!"
"…!"
Old lady Hang's face changed.
Tan Yunchang's expression, eyes and tone are very sincere, almost like giving old lady Hang a thumbs up.
However, in the Tang family, even if you were to catch an ant from the grass, you probably knew how much the old lady neglected this young lady.
Therefore, this flattery naturally became a needle in every word, and the ridicule caused the old lady's face to sink a little bit.
The servants next to her were sweating when they heard it, and they didn't dare to lift their heads. Tang Shixin and Tang Luoqian, who were following the old lady, also stared at Tan Yunchang blankly.
After all, in the Tang family, no one dared to talk to the old lady like that.
The courtyard at the main entrance of the Tang family fell into dead silence in this hot summer.
The wind passed through the hall, and Lin Qianhua was so nervous that his palms were sweating.
For the first time, he felt that the image of this ever-slick senior brother was so tall in his mind.
-He also came over after Luo Zhan's request, he didn't have the courage to fight with the Tang family like this.
The silence lasted for a few seconds.
Seeing that the smiling young man didn't seem to notice the atmosphere, the old lady Hang's eyes were even colder: "Young man, when you talk to your elders, you should uphold the attitude of the younger generation."
"Ah? Is my attitude bad?" Tan Yunchang looked at Lin Qianhua with a bewildered expression, "I thought I was sincere in my praise just now, but it doesn't seem like enough."
Senior brother is so bold, Lin Qianhua naturally feels that he can't be cowardly. He gritted his teeth and held up a smile: "No, Senior Tan, I think what you said is very reasonable, and I always think so."
"… "
It was even quieter under the door, and everyone was holding their breath.
Among them, Tang Shixin especially did not understand: Tan Yunchang is still the same slick temperament as he initially remembered, but last time he did not see such obvious hostility towards the Tang family at all - I don't know why he is so provocative today.
But even if he couldn't figure it out, he had to stop it.
After all, Mrs. Hang is his mother. Even if there are often disagreements with her usual ideas and she has to submit, Tang Shixin can't watch her mother being mocked by two younger generations.
Tang Shixin frowned and stepped forward, lowered his voice, and his tone was not harsh, but more persuasive: "You two are not here to make trouble today, are you?"
"How can that be, Uncle Tang." Tan Yunchang smiled, "We don't stay in our good laboratory, and travel so far to make trouble, isn't that idle?"
Tang Shixin: "Then what are you doing here?"
Tan Yunchang: "Come and give something to our captain."
"Your captain?"
"Oh, our captain is Luo Zhan."
"...Luo Zhan asked you to come?" Tang Shixin finally came to his senses.
When he asked this question, the expressions of Mrs. Hang and Tang Luoqian behind him changed.
After regaining his senses, Mrs. Hang snorted coldly: "This youngest son of the Luo family really lacks discipline, and the friends he makes don't know how to behave. I think Mr. Luo spoils him too much."
When Tan Yunchang heard it, he immediately stuck his head out of the place blocked by Tang Shixin's figure: "Old lady, you are so wronged. Ordinarily, I don't know you, so you can call anyone and I will ignore it. Then I not only Here, I greeted you from the moment I walked in, and complimented you, but you said I didn’t know the etiquette? Am I not wronged?”
Tang Luoqian couldn't hear it, but muttered, "Rogue!"
Tan Yunchang was amused, and pointed at Tang Luoqian: "Have you seen it, this is called ignorance of etiquette - thank you Miss Tang for showing up to speak."
"You, who are you talking about!"
Tang Luo was so angry that her face turned pale.
"Okay Luoqian," Tang Shixin stopped with a headache, turned around and said to Tan Yunchang, "You two are juniors, I don't care about you. Before my old lady gets angry, hurry up and don't make trouble. It's all ugly."
Tan Yunchang: "Sorry, Uncle Tang, we really have to give something to the captain."
Tang Shixin finally couldn't help but frown: "What must be sent to the Tang family to give, can't we wait for him to go back?"
Tan Yunchang: "He needs it urgently tonight, and he couldn't bring it with him before he left."
After finally waiting for this sentence, Tan Yunchang took a deep breath and tried his best to raise his voice to the highest level, and asked in "surprise", "Ouch—you don't know it, right?!"
Tang Shixin noticed that there was a pit ahead, but at this time he could only bite the bullet and ask, "What do you know?"
"… "
The slick and hippie smile on Tan Yunchang's face finally faded away, and he looked at the Tang family's old lady Hang and Tang Luoqian with a mocking expression—
"Our captain can't take it himself. Because he didn't come to the Tang family voluntarily today, he was called by the old man and brought a group of people directly."
Tang Shixin was shocked: "Tied up?"
"Yeah." Tan Yunchang paused and smiled, "Our captain asked me to come early, just to let me pass a message - the meaning of not being there last time was not straightforward enough, right? I wanted to save some face for the elders. , in the end you don't want it."
"… "
Including the old lady Hang, the faces of the Tang family were ashen.
Tan Yunchang's remarks before, no matter how harsh it is, it is only a private matter of the Tang family, and outsiders can't say anything after hearing it - but if this matter spreads out today, I am afraid that there will be a big joke in the circle.
The name of the joke is that the eldest lady of the Tang family did not know how hard she was to marry, but she had to tie the man who refused to be engaged to the door.
Madam Tang was so angry that the crutches in her hands were clenched tightly and trembling slightly.
After Tan Yunchang finished saying those words, he immediately retreated to Lin Qianhua's side, and whispered, "Damn, this old lady doesn't have to hit me with a cane, right?"
Lin Qianhua smiled bitterly: "I'm more afraid that the old lady will be surrounded by a group of people."
Tan Yunchang: "..."
Tan Yunchang: "Is what I just said so hateful?"
Lin Qianhua: "It's very sarcastic, the hatred is full."
Tan Yunchang: "No, Luo Zhan usually talks like this, why didn't he see him beaten?"
Lin Qianhua was silent for a while, and said frankly, "It may be the difference in face."
Tan Yunchang: "..."
Tan Yunchang: "Made, Luo Zhan misunderstood me. If he is hammered later, the old body of the senior will not be able to withstand it. Junior brother, you can carry it for the senior a few more times."
Lin Qianhua smiled bitterly.
Fortunately, the Luo family's motorcade drove away before the old lady got angry and let them blast them out.
The first car that came and stopped in front of the door was carrying Butler Lin, and a minute or two later, the old man's car followed.
As soon as the car door opened on his side, he saw Steward Lin standing beside the car with a helpless smile on his face.
The old man sighed in his heart: "what's the matter?"
Lin Yi stepped forward and whispered a few words.
Hearing halfway, Mr. Luo raised his eyebrows with anger: "Didn't you tell me earlier, don't give him a chance to get a mobile phone?"
"I asked," Butler Lin said helplessly, "the team leader said that at that time, the young master had already gotten into the Tang family's car very cooperatively and asked to make a phone call on the road. In addition, the curtains were pulled, and there was no road section. Let him see, the team leader thought it was okay and agreed with him to call."
The old man hummed angrily: "It doesn't matter? You have to be vigilant to this stinky boy until the last moment! Have you ever played Go with him? I don't know that he would be able to draw money from the bottom of the pot and secretly play such tricks as Chen Cang?"
Lin Yi sighed and smiled: "It's me who didn't tell me strictly. But the young master has a deep mind, a lively mind, and good skills. No matter how strict he is to prevent death, I'm afraid he will always be able to take advantage of it."
Although the old man was not happy that the plan was flawed, he was still very happy to hear that the little grandson was praised like this.
He endured the smugness that almost raised his beard, and coughed solemnly: "Pay attention next time."
Lin Yi: "Definitely."
When Mr. Luo got out of the car and exchanged a few words with the sullen old lady of the Tang family, Luo Zhan's car finally arrived.
There was no need for people from the Tang family or the Luo family to greet them, so Tan Yunchang and Lin Qianhua rushed up immediately. Tan Yunchang even hugged Luo Zhan who had bent over and got out of the car—
"Team! Captain! I almost thought I would never see you!"
"..." This almost tearful gesture made Lin Qianhua beside him stunned.
Luo Zhan snorted lightly, and then laughed angrily and scolded: "Fuck off, you hurt me when you touched me."
"I'm too... ah?" Tan Yunchang quickly stopped expressing.
He took two steps back and looked nervously at the person up and down: "Fuck, the corners of his mouth are broken. Who is so ruthless, do you know how much gold our ancestor's face is worth? He is not afraid of being chased and killed by girls from K University. Ah?—Look at this green one, the blood hasn't dried yet, it's so heart-wrenching."
"Senior," Lin Qianhua reminded reluctantly from the side, "please accept your smile."
Tan Yunchang came back to his senses and raised his head in embarrassment: "Did I laugh?"
Luo Zhan: "What do you say?"
Receiving Luo Zhan's lazy glance that was half-smile but not smiling, Tan Yunchang slowly shrank towards Lin Qianhua: "I'm sorry, ancestor, it's the first time I saw you so embarrassed - I really didn't want to laugh, but I didn't. hold back."
"Okay, it's hard work this time."
Luo Zhan never looked away from the Tang family not far away, and the broken appearance did not affect Jun Mei Qingjun's face with a lazy smile: "It seems that the effect is good, I will invite you to dinner when I go back."
Tan Yunchang: "The captain is out! What is the relationship between our brothers, as long as you say a word, we will go through fire and water, and we will not—"
"Aren't you going to eat?"
"No, no, eat, eat, eat." Tan Yunchang changed his tune in time, and then he lowered his voice: "Ancestor, you can take the voice changer for you, if you don't cooperate tonight, you can act on your own over there - we won't disturb you. Now, let's withdraw."
"Um."
After a minute.
The two elders, Mr. Luo and Mrs. Hang, walked in the forefront, accompanied by Tang Shixin and his wife.
Tang Luoqian had long been angry with Tan Yunchang's words and went home. In the end, only Young Master Luo, with a wound on the corner of his mouth, lazily inserted his trousers pocket and strolled into the main entrance of the Tang family compound.
—Probably knowing that someone could not get any good words from him, so Mr. Luo was very prescient and did not let Luo Zhan come to him.
Luo Zhan deliberately walked around the Tang family's front yard several times, drilling into every corner to confuse the Tang family's grasp of his whereabouts.
On the way, the Tang family's servants met him a lot, but the young master was not sure which way to go to the side house.
Seeing that the time was getting closer and closer to 8 o'clock, Luo Zhan found a hidden place and installed a voice changer on his body, first turned off the switch, and then chose a path that was consistent with the general direction of the house.
He decided to try it out.
Unfortunately, the wrong choice was made the first time.
Young Master Luo stumbled into the Tang family's kitchen by mistake, and after receiving the eager eyes of a group of young or not-so-young young ladies and sisters who were just rushing to sign autographs, he fled.
Just after leaving the back kitchen area, Luo Zhan was suddenly pulled from behind.
The young master's mood, which was not very sunny, suddenly became more gloomy. He frowned and looked back at the strange young woman: "Let go."
"You..." The woman stammered and asked, speaking in a local accent she didn't know where, "Do you know Tang Ran?"
Luo Zhan was startled.
Luo Zhan followed the woman down the most remote path to the side house. All the way, those words collided in his mind.
[I was already prepared to lose.]
[There are many, many things and people in this world, I always want them, but none of them belong to me.]
[I'm not her, so it doesn't matter how loud I cry.]
[But not long ago, I had something that was completely mine.]
[Everything else of mine seems to be surnamed Tang, and one day it will be taken back suddenly and of course. Only Luo Luo is not.]
[It says it will belong to me forever, so no one can take it away.]
"… arrive."
The voice of the young woman called back Luo Zhan's consciousness.
He suddenly recovered and raised his eyes.
The mansion not far away sat in the dark night, completely incompatible with the prosperous scene where he came from. It stands alone, lonely and quiet.
Like a girl lying there waiting for him.
"what time is it."
"..." The young woman heard the slightly hoarse voice beside her, and hurriedly lowered her head to look: "8:13."
Luo Zhan lowered his head, rubbed the corners of his broken lips, and smiled helplessly: "I'm still late."
"?"
Duan Qingyan was puzzled.
Luo Zhan didn't explain: "Thank you for leading the way."
He raised his hand as he went out, as if he had pressed a button on what looked like a belt under his neck. Duan Qingyan only had time to see a little red light lit up, turned into white light, and flickered.
Duan Qingyan stood blankly.
She admitted they were right, he was the best looking of all the boys and men she had ever met.
Moreover, he seems to have a cold and lazy temperament, and he seems to be indifferent and careless about everything, but it makes people unable to look away.
It makes people curious, there is something or someone can make him stop.
When Duan Qingyan was absent-minded, she saw the door of the side house opened, and the familiar little girl held a blind cane and slowly came out of the side house with her head lowered.
She didn't go down the steps, but stood in the dark with her eyes closed, and sat down slowly.
Sitting alone on the stone steps, her expression was low and sad, but she was always looking in a certain direction in the darkness that she could not see. Like waiting for someone.
Duan Qingyan was stunned for a moment, then reacted—
It's eight o'clock, but the little girl's robot hasn't arrived yet.
How sad should she be
Duan Qingyan was about to walk over, when she saw the young master who came with her stopped in front of the third stone steps.
Tang Ran on the steps seemed to hear the sound and was stunned for two seconds. She raised her head in surprise, her originally gloomy face filled with a smile:
"Luo Luo, are you there?"
Luo Zhan did not speak.
He looked at the girl who looked up at him hopefully in the light.
[Only Luo Luo belongs to me completely.]
After a few seconds.
Duan Qingyan, who was standing not far away, saw that under the steps, the always lazy, cold and proud young master knelt down a little on one knee.
He took the girl's hand and leaned over to kiss.
A mechanical sound awakened the silent night—
"I will always be with you, my master."
