The hallway fell silent.
Until Jia Junxi waited on the phone for a long time without a response, he asked worriedly:
"Jing Qian, are you okay?"
"… "
"Jing Qian?"
"—"
Lan Jingqian suddenly returned to his senses, his eyes shattered with emotion. He took a step back, his body swayed as if he had not stepped on it firmly, and then he leaned against the wall.
Holding the phone for a few seconds, Lan Jingqian lowered his head and asked, "What do you want to say."
In just one or two minutes, he seemed to have exhausted all the energy in his body. The voice sounded tired and hoarse.
Jia Junxi said: "With the ability of the Tang family, I can't find out more things. After you went abroad, I don't know what happened in the Tang family. The only thing I can be sure of is that the Tang family's name is Tang Ran's girl should be the child of you and Tang Shiyu."
Lan Jingqian's hand hanging by his side was resting on the marble countertop of the corridor window, and at this time he had unconsciously clasped it. The slender knuckles showed a tense paleness.
He tensed for a long time and asked in a hoarse voice, "How did you know that?"
"… "
On the opposite side of the phone, Jia Junxi in the office frowned and looked at the DNA identification report that was upside down by him.
After a few seconds of silence, he said: "I used a little less legal means, once it is exposed, my hospital and even my medical qualifications may be at risk - and there are other unrelated people in this matter who are subject to me. Influence and participation. The Tang family has built a strong foundation these years, and has a deep foundation. It is not something that ordinary people can hostile to, and I cannot let them take risks with me."
Lan Jingqian slowly let go of his hand: "I understand." He turned around, "I won't ask you for evidence, I just ask - are you sure."
The man's voice was hoarse but still, a solemn and low voice that Jia Junxi had never heard from Lan Jingqian for so many years.
It was like a fire left in a cloud of ashes, as if its lingering breath would be exhausted.
But Jia Junxi knew that such a Lan Jingqian was the most terrifying—
When he was forced to the Jedi by the Tang family, Lan Jingqian left the country with almost no money. That little spark was shaky, but it just survived countless storms and long nights alone.
In just over ten years, a new star in the field of automatic control called auto technology has risen rapidly, and it has been promoted from a dark horse to a leader in the shortest time.
In Hebrew, matthew means "gift from God".
And the seniors who once looked down on this embarrassed young man the most, but who could only be left behind by him later, called him a miracle.
"… "
Jia Junxi exhaled slowly.
"You should know me, I never really take risks. Since I'm going to call you, are you sure I'm sure?"
"it is good."
Lan Jingqian didn't say another word, he just hung up the phone and stopped outside the box door.
The man closed his eyes and stood frozen for dozens of seconds, before temporarily calming down his turbulent emotions and barely stripping his rationality out.
He pushed open the door and walked in.
Luo Zhan raised his eyes lazily on the sofa.
Glancing at Lan Jingqian walking in, after a second or two, the young man's face faded away.
Luo Zhan sat up straight, frowned and asked, "What happened?"
Lan Jingqian picked up the coat and jacket that was on the side: "I need to deal with a personal matter immediately. I'll..."
"You're absent-minded, don't say polite words." Luo Zhan interrupted him and got up, "Since it's a private matter, I won't interfere, you can do it yourself."
"Um."
Lan Jingqian didn't say much, he put on his coat and turned to walk out.
When he opened the box door and was about to step out, a young man's calm voice came from behind him: "You just returned to China, and your foundation is unstable. Call me anytime if you need anything."
"… "
Lan Jingqian paused and looked back.
The young man stood there with his trouser pockets in his pockets, with a look of laziness and meaninglessness, his eyes were quiet.
"In China, even if I can't help you, the young master of the Luo family can always do something."
A smile appeared in Lan Jingqian's eyes, but he was soon torn apart by those complicated thoughts.
He turned around and walked out: "Whether I can help or not, I'll take the lead. Thank you, Young Master Luo."
"… "
Seeing the figure disappearing outside the door, Luo Zhan raised his eyes and frowned slightly.
Behind him, Tan Yunchang stepped forward and asked worriedly, "What happened? This is the first time I have seen such a serious expression on my male god's face."
Luo Zhan was silent for a few seconds: "I don't know."
Tan Yunchang asked: "Then do we want to ask Qi Jin to check this..." The unfinished words disappeared in Luo Zhan's sideways glance.
"Since he said it was a private matter, he just didn't want me to interfere." Luo Zhan looked back, his voice as cold as ever. "He will come to me if he needs help. Before that, I won't check it out. Don't go overboard with you and Qi Jin."
Tan Yunchang could only sigh regretfully: "Okay, then I will bear it. I hope there is no trouble on the male god's side."
"… "
Meanwhile, the downstairs porch of the clubhouse.
The driver looked nervously in the rear-view mirror, the man leaning on the back seat with his eyes closed, whose body pressure was very different from usual.
After a moment of silence, the man opened his eyes.
The driver asked cautiously, "Mr. Lan, are you going back to the company?"
"No." Lan Jingqian's voice was hoarse, "You inform the assistant that all appointments on my itinerary for today and tomorrow will be cancelled."
The driver suppressed his astonishment: "Where shall I take you now?"
"… "
The emotions in Lan Jingqian's eyes sank little by little.
After a long while, there was a complicated and depressed sigh in the car.
"The Tang family."
On Friday, according to the agreement with the tutor last week, Tang Ran had an appointment for an outdoor class at an educational institution in the afternoon.
But Tang Ran waited for a long time in the partial house after lunch, and did not wait for the appearance of the driver who was in charge of picking her up from the Tang family.
Duan Qingyan, who had collected the kitchen waste, originally said that she would accompany Tang Ran to wait until the driver arrived before leaving, but seeing that there was no movement at the door, she was also surprised: "Xiao Ran, the driver will not tell you to go out this afternoon. Did you forget?"
Tang Ran shook his head: "I shouldn't forget, this outdoor class has been fixed for more than a month, and the driver will come early every time."
"Then why haven't you come yet? I just went to the door and looked, and I didn't seem to see anyone."
Tang Ran hesitated: "Let me call and ask."
"Oh, good."
Tang Ran, who had already changed her clothes, took out her mobile phone from her jacket pocket. After unlocking her fingerprints, she called softly to the phone.
"Luo Luo."
"… here."
The lazy and pleasant voice sounded at first, and Duan Qingyan was frightened all over his body. She stood there for a few seconds before she turned her head with a stiff neck.
He glanced around the living room of the side house, but found nothing.
Duan Qingyan: "Little Little Ran... Did you hear a voice just now, Tete looks like the little young master of the Luo family..."
Tang Ran was stunned, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he shook the phone in his hand with a chuckle: "Haha, the one who just spoke was not Luo Zhan, but the AI voice assistant I mentioned to you before, also called Luo Luo. "
Duan Qingyan: "?"
Duan Qingyan looked at the phone in Tang Ran's hand dully: "Then, why does that voice sound so familiar?"
Tang Ran smiled with a small dimple on his cheek: "Because this voice assistant was developed by Luo Zhan and his int team together, the sound source is also his voice."
Duan Qingyan's expression twisted: "He is really everywhere..."
"Ah?" Tang Ran raised his head in confusion.
Duan Qingyan was stunned at the little girl's face, consciously lost her words, and quickly added an explanation: "Ha, ha, it's nothing, I just think your relationship with that young master is really a good wife, and I'll be your voice assistant again. , for you again, erm, to repair the robot."
After listening carefully, Tang Ran nodded in agreement: "Luo Luo is a very good person."
Duan Qingyan didn't have time to say anything.
In the mobile phone that Tang Ran was holding, that lazy voice took the initiative to pick up: "Don't send out the good person card, be careful to be deceived."
"… "
Duan Qingyan couldn't help but feel a tinge in her heart when she heard the voice that made her shadow deep.
Tang Ran was thoughtful: "When did this module seem to be triggered... Ah, yes, it's in Luo's house."
Tang Ran remembered that at the banquet that day, she was waiting next to Luo's study, chatting with her AI Luo Luo alone. At that time, she thought Luo Zhan was "Luo Xiu", so she said to ai Luo Luo that Luo Xiu seemed to be a very gentle person.
Then ai Luoluo answered her like this.
After a few seconds of silence, the little girl with her eyes closed sighed like a little old man: "Sure enough, you will be deceived."
After sighing, Tang Ran woke up ai Luoluo again and asked him to dial the driver's number for himself.
The other side picked up in no time.
"Little dye?"
"Uncle," Tang Ran said, "Did you delay anything today?"
"Ah? What's the matter—" The opposite side was quiet, and then he asked in surprise, "Has the Tang family not assigned you a new driver yet?"
Tang Ran was stunned.
The man on the other side of the phone quickly explained: "Last Sunday night, Miss Luoqian at home came to me and said that the old lady had assigned me to be her driver, and you would have a new one. Don't worry about me, they'll make arrangements, so I didn't speak to you - didn't they tell you?"
"… "
The phone was quiet for a long time.
When the driver was worried, he heard the girl on the opposite side say softly and softly: "I see, maybe the main house was busy and forgot. I will call to remind you. I'm sorry to disturb my uncle, goodbye."
"Ah, it's alright... bye."
The phone hangs up.
Duan Qingyan blushed next to her: "Did they—Tang Luoqian do it on purpose!"
Tang Ran had returned to normal, and at this time she heard a crooked smile: "She was so angry last weekend, she must have gone to complain to grandma. That's fine, otherwise I'll keep worrying that she will come to the side house, strange uneasy."
"But hasn't that driver been picking you up for years? How could they change without your consent?"
"..." Tang Ran was silent for a while and laughed softly, "So I told you, everything I have is given by the Tang family, and they have the right to take it back at any time. I have no qualifications to question."
Duan Qingyan was so angry that she was speechless for a while.
"I'll call the main house first and ask."
As a party, Tang Ran recovered quickly from his emotions. She just frowned and thought hard about the solution.
"I've already made an appointment with the teacher... I can find a temporary driver to avoid being late."
Tang Ran finally called the main house.
But the responsible steward has repeatedly delayed.
By the time Tang Ran made the last phone call a little anxiously, the manager on the opposite side had calmed down.
"Miss Tang Ran, I told you just now that there is an important guest coming to my family today - everyone is very busy right now, and there is no manpower available. Could it be that your matter is urgent and must be dealt with now?"
"… "
Tang Ran didn't speak.
Just as the steward was about to hang up the phone, he heard the girl's still calm voice ringing: "Did Tang Luoqian tell you not to arrange a driver for me?"
The steward choked, and his movements froze.
Tang Ran didn't care about the other party's speechlessness, and continued: "Then transfer the call to Tang Luoqian, and I will tell her."
The steward came back to his senses, lacking confidence, and his voice became a lot more empty: "What does this have to do with Luo Qian, Miss Tang Ran, don't make trouble unreasonably—"
"it is good."
The girl picked up the voice.
Her voice was calm, without any anger or grievance, "If it has nothing to do with Tang Luoqian, then it is your decision. I will contact Tang Shixin and ask him who the matter is."
There was a stalemate on the phone for a few seconds, and the steward didn't dare to bet on whether this unloved little lady could pry his interests.
He compromised: "Okay... I'll transfer you to Miss Luoqian."
"… "
Tang Ran's clenched hand suddenly loosened.
His palms were wet.
Her voice did sound calm and composed, but only Duan Qingyan, who was in the side house, could see that Tang Ran's figure was already tense and uneasy when she said those words.
She is clearly a soft-hearted and kind little girl.
Duan Qingyan was so angry that she stared at the landline in front of Tang Ran, which was specially used for speed dialing at the main house, and vented her anger.
After a while, the phone really turned to Tang Luoqian: "Hello?"
Tang Ran clenched her fingers lightly again after she released them: "It's me."
"I know," Tang Luo said impatiently, "Is something wrong?"
"My old driver went to your place, and he said you'd have a new driver—"
"Your driver? It belongs to our Tang family. What does it have to do with you?"
Tang Luo sneered lightly and interrupted Tang Ran's words.
There was a bit of revenge in her voice: "Don't you like to take Luo Zhan's car? Then you ask him, the young master of the Luo family, to be your driver in person."
After speaking, Tang Luoqian hung up the phone directly.
Tang Ran held the phone and didn't move, and Duan Qingyan next to her was very angry: "She, how can she do this! It's because Luo Zhan doesn't like her that she won't let her get on the bus, even if you're not around she won't get on - she blames you for what! ?"
The little girl with her head bowed was quiet for a moment, then slowly groped to put the phone back. After she turned around, she asked softly, "What time is it now?"
"Ah? Let's see... It's almost two o'clock. Is it too late for you to go to class, Xiaoran?"
"Um."
"Then what to do??"
"… "
Tang Ran took out the phone from his jacket pocket and unlocked it.
"Luo Luo."
"It's there."
"Enter the address book, contact Luo Zhan."
"Located, have you dialed?"
"Yes."
After a few seconds, the call was connected.
The voice of the ai voice assistant that was still ringing in this room a few seconds ago, with a sloppy smile: "Why did you remember to call me, Ranran?"
Following this title, remembering the words "It's my daughter" and "I'm called Auntie", the little girl frowned.
There was a long silence on the phone.
Tang Ran didn't speak, and Young Master Luo, who had the worst patience, just waited quietly.
After a long silence, the little girl finally hesitated and said in a soft voice, "Wishing Pond, I want to toss a coin."
Luo Zhan smiled lazily: "Well. The Wishing Pool is listening."
"Can you... come to Tang's house to take me to class?"
Hearing the little girl's somewhat embarrassed and cautious test, Luo Zhan couldn't help lowering his eyes and smiled absently.
"Of course, my lord—"
The sound stopped abruptly.
After a second or two.
Tang Ran: "...?"
