Ji Ran galloped all the way home, and as soon as he entered the community, he saw a black Mercedes-Benz parked outside his house.
He subconsciously released the accelerator, drove to the side of the Mercedes-Benz, pulled down the window, and called out to the dark window of the backseat of the Mercedes-Benz: "Grandma."
The rear seat didn't respond, and the passenger window fell first. The driver in the driver's seat said, "Mr. Ji Xiao, otherwise you should open the garage first. It's windy outside, and the old lady is afraid of the cold."
Ji Ran was silent for two seconds, then looked away, the car drove forward, and after scanning the license plate, the garage door slowly opened.
The black Benz pulled into the garage ahead of him.
Ji Ran parked the car, remembered something before getting off the car, took out the cigarette case in his pocket, and threw it on the seat. The black car next door was finally willing to open the door, and an elderly man walked out slowly.
The old man had snow-white hair, was well-dressed, and behaved gracefully and calmly. She raised her eyes slightly and looked at Ji Ran's clothes, her eyebrows twitched invisibly, and she quickly returned to normal.
The two had not seen each other for many years, and Ji Ran shouted again respectfully, "Grandma."
If there was anyone else in the Ji family who gave him a little treat, it was only Mrs. Ji. Without her, he would be a poor, poor gangster now.
Ji Ran is not a white-eyed wolf. He can disobey everyone in the Ji family, but he can't ignore his grandma.
Mrs. Ji hummed softly: "Go in and talk."
living room. Mrs. Ji sat upright and took a sip of the hot tea in her own thermos.
"I haven't seen you for so many years, you have grown taller." Mrs. Ji said.
"Grandma, we haven't seen each other for seven years." Ji Ran laughed, reminding her that her tone was not very affectionate.
Mrs. Ji nodded: "It's been seven years, and you've come to Haicheng to see me once."
Mrs. Ji left Mancheng seven years ago and settled in Haicheng, which is like spring all year round.
Ji Ran smiled and let out a white tooth: "I'm busy, grandma."
Mrs. Ji naturally knew that this was an excuse. She was a shameless grandson who was annoying the teacher when she was in school, and she didn't find a serious job after graduation. Apart from spending money and having fun, how could she be busy.
"How many times have you been home since I was gone?" she asked.
Ji Ran leaned on the sofa and sat loosely: "What are you asking, I'll go home every day."
"Sit down." Mrs. Ji frowned, "You know what I'm talking about."
When it comes to the Ji family, Ji Ran also loses patience: "Grandma, what are you asking me for this time?"
Mrs. Ji took off her shawl and put it aside: "This Friday is your brother's engagement banquet, and it will be held in the house with a garden in the suburbs. Come by then."
In fact, it is good to tell this kind of thing, there is no need to come here in person. But Ji Wei and Ji Ran, the brothers, are destined to not get together because of their elders. If someone else comes to tell them, they will be called Fu Ji Ran.
It just so happened that she came home from the airport, just passing by, and stopped by.
Ji Ran just raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words, and played with the unlocked mobile phone in his hand. He was a little itchy and wanted to smoke a cigarette.
Seeing that Mrs. Ji kept silent, she said, "This is a big family event. Many media will come. You must be there."
In today's era of developed Internet, no matter how powerful a person is, they can't completely cover up a big living person. Ji Ran's existence was not a secret for a long time. If he was not present that day, there would be rumors that "the Ji family treats illegitimate children harshly" again.
"Ji Ran-"
"Got it." Ji Ran interrupted her and smiled, "I'll go."
Seeing that he promised so simply, Mrs. Ji was stunned.
Her grandson, whom she hadn't seen for many years, sat across from her, smiled very well, and promised again, "Why would I be absent on such an important occasion? Don't worry, I will be there on time."

"Are you really going to your brother's engagement party?!" Yue Wenwen said in surprise.
"Well." Ji Ran leaned on the sofa with his legs crossed, and looked at him speechlessly with his chin up.
He never imagined that he would one day enter a nail salon where even the wallpaper is pink Hello Kitty.
"This flower here blows my mind a little." Yue Wenwen told the manicurist.
"Just one nail, you still expect others to fry more, or let you stick a bee on it." Ji Ran said with disgust, "You're fine, what are you doing with your nails?"
"They organized a cheongsam bureau... Oh, what do you stinky man know!" Yue Wenwen said, "Then why are you asking me to accompany you? Do you want to buy clothes? Oh yes, you need to wear a suit on that occasion. Yes? Do you have one?"
"Yes." Ji Ran thought of something and sneered, "My grandma brought me a whole set of clothes." For fear that he would be embarrassed by his dressing.
Yue Wenwen wondered: "Then why are you here in the mall today? Don't you usually hate coming to the mall the most?"
"I..." Ji Ran paused, rubbed the broken hair around his ear, and said, "Which barber shop did you get your white hair done before?"
Yue Wenwen said: "It's upstairs. What are you doing? You want to do your hair? You don't want to comb your hair back, wow, that thief!"
Ji Ran didn't talk nonsense with him, got up and said, "I'm going up."
Yue Wenwen: "Okay, I'll go up and find you when I'm done."
It was the owner of the shop who made Yue Wenwen's nails. As soon as Ji Ran left, the proprietress lowered her voice and whispered, "Xiao Wenwen, why didn't you tell me Ji Ran was coming? I'd better wear a nice little dress today."
"I didn't know he was coming." Yue Wenwen said, "and don't worry about it, Ji Ran doesn't like women."
The proprietress was taken aback: "Ah? He is also... "
"Yeah." Yue Wenwen winked, "Can't you tell?"
"I can't see it." The proprietress said, "Oh my God, the handsome guys are all yours, and I have nothing."
Yue Wenwen shook his head, and the earrings swayed with his movements: "Don't, don't, don't, it's not mine."
"Why, Ji Ran isn't handsome enough? You don't like it?" the proprietress said gossip, "Then has he been with anyone?"
"It's too familiar, I don't feel it, and I won't start." With his nails dry, Yue Wenwen raised his orchid fingers and supported his chin, "No, we are pure and innocent. We say we like men... After so many years, I haven't seen anyone with him."
Yue Wenwen's nails are complicated, and it took a full hour to toss them.
He walked into the barber shop, and after a while with the boss, he asked, "Ah, where's Ji Ran?"
The boss said: "Inside, I just finished the first layer of color, and I'm rushing."
Yue Wenwen paused: "... Coloring?"

Qin Man handed the car to the parking boy and glanced at the venue.
The villa garden is very large, decorated with many balloons and flowers and plants, and there are sweet pictures of the two protagonists hanging next to it. The audience is full of cameras at this time, and the media who came are adjusting their positions.
Today is the engagement banquet of Ji Wei, the eldest master of the Ji family, and Ji Wei sent him an invitation half a month ago.
"Qin Man." Ji Wei, who was entertaining guests at the door, saw his friend at a glance, hurriedly said goodbye to the person in front of him, and walked quickly to Qin Man's side, "I'm still worried that you won't come."
"How could it be." Qin Man smiled faintly, and his black suit gave him a sense of abstinence. Going to that stop, he was even more eye-catching than the well-dressed Ji Wei.
He handed the gift box in his hand to Ji Wei, "engagement gift, congratulations."
"Thank you, I spent money." Ji Wei took the gift, "Your family... are you all right?"
"It's okay." Qin Man said.
"I haven't been in China some time ago, and I just heard about it." Ji Wei patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's a done deal, I won't say more if you need it, just let me know if you need anything in the future."
When the surrounding media saw Qin Man, all of them were eager to come forward and interview with a microphone and recorder.
Qin Man snorted: "I'll go first, you can entertain others."
"Wait, that..." Ji Wei coughed lightly, "Your seat is at the main table, don't go wrong."
Qin Man raised his eyebrows and was about to ask something.
"elder brother."
The familiar voice sounded behind itself, and the two of them looked at the source of the sound at the same time.
Seeing the person coming, Qin Man couldn't hold back, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn upwards—
Ji Ran was standing behind him. I saw him wearing a tall black suit, narrow waist and long legs, noble and elegant, plus his delicate and beautiful facial features, he should have looked like a well-loved prince.
She has dyed green hair that is conspicuous and flamboyant, and it looks special in the sun... vibrant.
Ji Ran was also taken aback when he saw Qin Man. But he quickly regained his senses, put on a harmless smile, and said to Ji Wei, who frowned, "Happy engagement, brother."
