"Nothing," Ji Rou said vaguely, "just to ask, the heart-to-heart talk between our mother and daughter!"
"I don't have any feelings for Young Master Long," Lu Anran said with lowered eyes, "I'll return the gift tomorrow."
"En," Ji Rou nodded and reached out to touch Lu Anran's head: "Anran, if you're tired, tell mom."
"..." Lu Anran looked into Ji Rou's eyes: "Mom, I'm not tired," she's not tired, she won't be tired, she can't be tired, she can't even be tired! External enemies are like tigers and leopards, and internal ghosts are like jackals. She can't relax her vigilance for a moment, absolutely not!
Ji Rou has a lot to say, but she doesn't know where to start. She secretly pins her hope on her husband. If Young Master Long can really find Brother Hao and bring Brother Hao back, their family will surely survive. , when the time comes, An Ran won't have to work so hard.
It was late at night, and Lu Anran slept in Ji Rou's room. Early the next morning, Lu Anran dressed neatly and took Lu Anhu with her to the Long Mansion.
Arriving at the Long Mansion, Lu Anran and Lu Anhu, led by the bodyguards of the Long Mansion, entered a study room on the west side of the first floor of the main house. When they opened the door, they saw "Master Long" in a casual suit sitting at a black wooden table. While reading the newspaper in the back, while sipping tea, seeing Lu Anran coming, he stood up and stretched out his hand: "Miss Lu, long time no see, please take a seat!"
"Hello," Lu Anran shook hands with "Master Long" politely, then sat down on a nearby chair and said, "I haven't thanked Young Master Long for the congratulatory gift yesterday."
"Where?" "Master Long" smiled and sat back on the chair and said, "I don't know if Miss Lu is satisfied with the gift."
"Hehe, that's why I came here." Lu Anran took out the gift box from his handbag and put it on the table in front of "Master Long", "Thank you for your kindness, Young Master Long."
"..." "Young Master Long" didn't express much expression or reaction when he saw this gift box. Instead, he lightly touched the back of his ear with his hand, and after receiving instructions from the built-in receiver, Young Master Long said, "Miss Lu, don't you?" like?"
"You don't get paid for nothing, Anran doesn't think that she has done anything that is worthy of Young Master Long's gift," Lu Anran said with a smile, "Thank you Young Master Long for your kindness."
"If Ms. Lu doesn't like this gift, I will prepare a new one and give it to you another day." Young Master Long smiled and said, "Until Ms. Lu is satisfied."
"..." Lu Anran couldn't help but frowned after hearing what "Master Long" said: "No need, Anran doesn't want other people to misunderstand. Although the Lu family is not as influential as the Long family, it is considered a bit of a face in S City. A person like Long Shao The action, to be honest, is very embarrassing for me,"
"I'm really sorry for causing trouble to Ms. Lu, but I hope Ms. Lu knows that I have no malicious intentions,"
"It's good that Young Master Long can understand," Lu Anran smiled lightly,
"I think it might be that Ms. Lu doesn't quite understand," "Young Master Long" said according to the voice in the built-in earphone: "What I did was also to protect the Lu family. The Long's Shopping Center has been built. Among them, Lu's is the most eye-catching. It can be said that Lu's is the leader among these five companies. The company's settlement is a win-win business cooperation for you and me, but for the old original enterprises, the existence of Lu's It's too intrusive, my actions this time are just a deterrent effect, to protect the Lu family for the time being, if you give me the money, I will naturally protect you!"
"It turned out to be like this!" Lu Anran suddenly realized that this aspect was something she hadn't thought about: "It's Anran's short-sightedness that misunderstood Long Shao!" A trace of gratitude and admiration appeared in Lu Anran's heart,
"It's okay, it was my negligence that I didn't tell Miss Lu beforehand," Young Master Long nodded,
After the matter was settled, Lu Anran felt a lot more relaxed, changed the topic, and looked at the mask on "Master Long": "Master Long also has to wear a mask at home?"
"It's to entertain Ms. Lu," "Young Master Long" touched his ear lightly and said, "I'm used to keeping a low profile, and I don't want to show my face in front of others. I also hope that Ms. Lu will take care of me."
"It doesn't matter," Lu Anran smiled and nodded: "This is Young Master Long's own business, I am talking too much, since it is all right, then Anran will stop bothering you." After finishing speaking, Lu Anran stood up,
"Miss Lu, take the gift back!" "Young Master Long" also got up and handed the gift box to Lu Anran: "I hope we can cooperate happily and achieve a real win-win situation."
"Cheng Longshao said auspicious words," Lu Anran took the gift box and exchanged a few pleasantries, then took Lu Anhu and left the Lu residence.
"There are four pinhole monitors in the room, one is at the door, one is on the edge of the desk, one is on the wall, and one is on the wooden bookcase next to it," Lu Anhu said.
"Oh?" Lu Anran didn't notice this: "Young Master Long is really careful."
"I suspect he is not Young Master Long," Lu Anhu said, "At least he should not be the real Young Master Long,"
"..." Lu Anran stopped in his tracks: "You mean..."
"He has built-in earphones in his ears, so he lightly touched the back of his ears more than once. He didn't look like he was thinking before speaking, but his expression seemed to be listening," Lu Anhu recalled: "I feel He's not Young Master Long, he's probably a stand-in!"
"Substitute?" Lu Anran frowned: "What do you mean?"
"Substitutes like this are very common in Kyoto," Lu Anhu said, "For their own safety, there will be people who specially train this kind of substitute. After a long time, it will really confuse the fake with the real one. However, the substitute of Long Shao was obviously found recently, so it is only I saw loopholes," Lu Anhu had studied anti-reconnaissance knowledge, so he was pretty good at recognizing facial expressions.
The 11th National Day holiday seems to be the proof of the saying "Happy time is always short", I feel that I haven't relaxed much yet, and it's time to start school again! The only thing that comforts everyone is that the military training is over. After returning to school on the 11th, it is good that everyone does not have to stand in the military posture every afternoon.
At the end of November, the next big event is the school celebration stage play. As the day approaches, Ji Ling also begins intensive rehearsals for the stage play. Lu Anran and others have noticed all the hard work she has put in. Feng Lixing, who played the role of the groom, had never appeared. It was not until the day of the performance that everyone knew that the role of the groom was replaced by Long Yuxing, and the bigger trouble was that Ji Ling disappeared before going on stage...
"Where's Ji Lingren? Who can get there?" Huang Ying's forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat: "Go and call the monitor of Class D!"
"Okay, I'll call her over!" Someone hurriedly called Lu Anran over,
And Lu Anran who was called was also surprised: "Ji Ling is gone?"
"Yes," Huang Ying said, "Can you reach her?"
"Wait a minute," Lu Anran hurriedly took out his mobile phone and dialed Lu Anhu's mobile number: "Anhu, where's Ji Ling?"
"Ji Ling is with me, on the way to the venue, but..." An Hu looked at Ji Ling who was grinning in pain and said, "She was injured, and her condition is not very good now, why don't you change her?"
"..." Lu Anran was stunned after hearing this: "Injured? How did you get injured?!"
"It's the other two girls in our class," Lu Anhu said. "They locked her in the sports warehouse when I was buying water. She jumped out of the window and sprained her foot."
"This..." Lu Anran gritted her teeth,
"A sprained foot?" Huang Ying was stunned when she heard this, and then looked at Tian Tian from the art department: "I remember that there was a girl in your class who was leaving that day, and the heroine's script said she was going to be a substitute? "
"That's right, her name is Chu Yao, and she is the monitor of the class," Huang Ying replied, this Chu Yao seemed to be a bit tricky, she said that Chu Yao had nothing to do with Ji Ling's injury, she didn't believe it at all,
"Ask her to act!" Huang Ying frowned and arranged,
"Okay," Tian Tian trotted out to call for someone as soon as Tian Tian answered.
"Wait!" Lu Anran hung up the phone, with a determination in his eyes: "Ji Ling is in my class, I will take the blame for this, and I will be a substitute for the role!"
"You?" Huang Ying looked Lu Anran up and down, although she also knew that Lu Anran had some skills, but this stage play was extraordinary, she couldn't make a rash decision,
"Just let her do it!" Long Yuxiong, who had changed into a costume for the stage play, appeared and said, "Any mistakes are mine!"
"Okay!" Huang Ying nodded, since Young Master Long said so, it's good that someone is responsible anyway, and she also believed in Young Master Long's vision: "Hurry up and change clothes and make up for Lu Anran!"
The backstage became busy again. When Lu Anran had just finished tidying up, Chu Yao appeared in the backstage: "Do you want me to act as a substitute?" Her heart was beating very fast. This time she was bound to win the role of younger sister. When she came, she took a look at the audience, and the first few rows were all filled with great figures, and her painstaking efforts were not in vain.
"No need," Huang Ying nudged the rustic glasses on the bridge of her nose with her fingers: "I have already found someone to take the role. If you stay, I can help you backstage and I can give you credits."
"What?" Chu Yao was taken aback, how could she ask, "Who?"
"It's me," Lu Anran took a few steps forward with her skirt in her hand. She has already changed her clothes and put on her makeup. The clothes are custom-made according to Ji Ling's size. Lu Anran is still a bit big when she wears them, and her shoulders are a little The broken one makes her look more lovely,
"You..." Chu Yao looked at Lu Anran in surprise, why is this Lu Anran again! damn it!
"Lu Anran, it's your turn to take the stage!" Huang Ying didn't have time to see Chu Yao's distraught expression before pushing Lu Anran onto the stage.
Standing on this stage, with the spotlight on her, and the crowds of people under the stage, Lu Anran suddenly felt the urge to cry. This scene, she had imagined countless times in her previous life but missed it at the last moment; She refused countless times in the whole life, but she actually stood here. Is this the so-called fate
