My Nemesis Has Finally Gone Bankrupt - Chapter 89
[Chapter 87]
Ji Ran drove the most conservative and stable Land Rover in the garage today.
Because Qin Man got up late, they bought fried dough sticks and soy milk on the road and ate them in the car.
The airport is a bit far from the city, and when we finally arrived, Ji Ran stood still in the driver’s seat: “You go… I’ll wait for you in the car.” It would
be a pity to leave the clothes carefully selected by the elementary school boy in the car .
“Let’s go together, the plane is still about ten minutes away, and we have to wait for the check-in. It’s boring for me to wait alone.”
“… How old are you? You need someone to accompany you when you pick up the plane.”
Ji Ran got off the car with him carrying soybean milk .
The weather is fine today, the plane is on time, it landed three minutes early, and the flight information shows that it has arrived.
Ji Ran stood for a while: “…I’ll wait for you in the car.”
“Don’t.” Qin Man led him, “Wait a little longer, we’ll be there soon.”
When Father Qin and Mother Qin came out, they saw their son The scene of dragging others and not letting them go.
Ji Ran wanted to say something else, but when he saw the two people standing at the exit, he stopped immediately.
He knew Qin Man’s mother. He had met Qin Man’s mother at the parent meeting at the school. At that time, she was wearing a light blue cheongsam with her hair tied up. She looked gentle, virtuous, noble and dignified.
Now, although the family has changed, the temperament of the woman has not changed. She is wearing a simple shirt and trousers, and a straw hat, looking extremely easy-going.
Qin’s mother instantly recognized her son’s back: “Xiao Man?”
Qin Man turned his head when he heard the words, and then said, “Mom, Dad.” The
family of three hadn’t seen each other for a long time, and the couple hugged their son excitedly.
Qin Man remained calm, and when the hug was over, he raised his hand and held Ji Ran’s wrist.
“This is my junior, Ji Ran. I’m staying at his house during this period of time.”
Ji Ran greeted him very unnaturally: “…uncle and aunt.” The
two couples looked at him with some doubts in their eyes.
Ji Ran would refuse to pick up the plane before, but there are actually other reasons.
His relationship with the Ji family is not a secret in Mancheng, Qin’s father and Qin’s mother have probably heard about his gossip and trifles.
“Ah.” Qin’s mother looked at him twice more, and then seemed to remember something, “I remember you.”
Ji Ran suddenly felt dry in his throat, and became more and more uncomfortable.
“Have we met?” Mother Qin smiled.
Ji Ran raised his eyes: “…what?”
“You are Xiaoman’s junior, so you should have been a student of Mangao before that, right?” Qin’s mother reminded him, “When Xiaoman was in his third year of high school, I went to help him drive the parents. Yes. At that time…you were on the basketball court, right?”
She smiled with crooked brows, and although there were wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, it did not hinder her beauty. You left in a hurry, and I never thanked you. Now you helped Xiaoman again, thank you.”
“…”
Ji Ran licked his lips, feeling even more nervous.
At that parent meeting, Ji Ran went to the top class and secretly took a look at the people in Qin Man’s seat.
Later, he was driven away by Miejue Shitai before the meeting was over. When playing basketball, a golfer almost threw the basketball into someone’s face, but Ji Ran stopped him.
Taking a closer look, the person who almost got caught was the person who came to give Qin Man a parent-teacher meeting.
Just after peeping at the other party, Ji Ran felt a little guilty, turned his head and left before the other party could speak.
After so many years, he almost forgot about it… Before
he said anything, Qin Man raised his eyebrows first: “Although I haven’t heard about it, it’s been so long, how do you still remember it?”
“I might not be able to remember anything else, but Xiao Ran looks so good.” Qin’s mother covered her mouth and smiled, “For some reason, I have never forgotten it.”
Qin’s father paused, clenched his hand into a fist and put it on his mouth Before he stepped forward, he coughed twice.
Ji Ran regained his senses, and said: “…it’s just a matter of convenience.” The
couple didn’t plan to stay for a long time when they returned home this time, and they only brought a large suitcase. Qin Man picked it up easily, and said: “Get in the car first.”
As soon as she got in the car, Qin’s mother said: “You can pick us up yourself, what do you have to ask Xiao Ran to come with you? Don’t bother others.”
“Don’t disturb.” Qin Man put on his seat belt, “I have a good relationship with the elementary school brother, he doesn’t mind.”
Feeling the sight from the back seat of the car, Ji Ran said: “… so-so, I happen to be fine today.”
” They all live in the same place, is it normal?” Qin Man smiled.
Ji Ran: “That’s better than normal.”
“A hundred times better.”
The conversation between the two was overheard by the people in the back seat, and the two couples exchanged glances in surprise.
They had never seen Qin Man chatting with anyone like this.
Even Qin Man’s few good friends talked about stock prices and house prices. There is no such bickering and funny one.
Just as Ji Ran was about to start the car, he remembered something: “Aunt…have you booked a hotel? Or do you have another place to live?”
Qin’s father just wanted to speak when his wife pinched his thigh: “We booked a hotel, but It’s not check-in time yet.”
She glanced at the soy milk cup on the front seat, “Please pick us up so early, you probably didn’t have much breakfast, we didn’t eat much on the plane… Otherwise, we’ll go eat some more ?”
A few of them went to a Cantonese breakfast shop.
The only difference between Qin’s mother and Ji Ran’s imagination is that her words… are surprisingly many.
It’s not the kind of elder-style inquiry, but rather like a friend, asking him what kind of deep-fried dumplings he likes to eat, whether he likes sweet bean brains or salty bean brains.
Ji Ran was overwhelmed by the other party’s enthusiasm. At the end of breakfast, he let out a long breath.
Immediately afterwards, Qin’s mother extended a dinner invitation to them with a smile.
Ji Ran blocked his breath again.
After sending the person away, Ji Qi said: “Why didn’t you refuse just now?!”
Qin Man raised his eyebrows and asked innocently: “It’s just a meal, anyway, we have no other arrangements for dinner. Why, you don’t want to go? ”
It’s not that Ji Ran doesn’t want to go, it’s that he… really can’t handle it.
Qin Man took out his mobile phone: “Then I will tell her that you have a temporary business, so I pushed it for you.”
Ji Ran hurriedly stopped him: “No, you said that you have a temporary business and can’t go.” I have agreed to it, and it is not good to regret it no matter how I think about it.
Qin Man clicked his tongue softly: “Primary school brother, it’s not good to lie to others.”
Ji Ran: “…” In the
end, the two of them went.
Qin’s mother made an appointment at a high-end western restaurant that required reservations two weeks in advance.
Ji Ran changed into a suit, and as soon as he entered the private room, he was greeted with warm and friendly eyes from Qin’s mother.
She looked around and asked Qin Man, “Just the two of you?”
Qin Man asked, “Otherwise ?
”
The size is the same as the outside, just enough to seat four people.
The two big men on the opposite side are well-developed, and their shoulders are wider in suits. They are both taller than normal men, but sitting side by side does not violate harmony.
Qin’s mother took a second look at Ji Ran. He held the knife and fork in both hands, slowly cutting the steak under the knife, looking uncomfortable.
After talking for a few words, Qin Man got up: “I’m going to the toilet.” There
were only three people left in the box. Qin’s father bowed his head silently while eating, and Qin’s mother looked at Ji Ran from time to time. Ji Ran was full, and there was nothing to touch in front of him, so he sat upright.
An embarrassing scene, nothing more than this.
Two minutes later, he bowed his head silently and sent a message to Qin Man.
Father Ji: Did you fall into a trap? So long in the toilet?
q: When you meet a friend, chat for a few words and then go back.
Father Ji: No way.
Father Ji: Let’s talk next time… Come back soon.
Ji Ran swipes the screen with threatening emoticons.
“Xiao Ran.” Qin’s mother said suddenly, “Did Auntie make you uncomfortable?”
Ji Ran was startled, and quickly put down the phone.
The person who was used to talking back to his teachers and elders since he was a child is a bit stuttering at the moment: “Ah, no, I… I’m just.”
He hesitated for a moment, and decided to tell the truth, “I’m not very good at getting along with elders.”
Qin’s mother paused, and suddenly chuckled: “That’s good, that’s good. I’m still worried… In fact, you are the first friend Xiaoman introduced to us. Before I wanted to meet his friends, I had to wait until the parent meeting Have a quick chat.”
“I’m sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable,” she said sincerely.
Ji Ran quickly waved his hand: “No, it’s my problem.”
If this scene was seen by other people, it might be that the style of painting is——
[The elders of the Ji family and the class teacher of the junior high school were kicked out of the group chat because of their aggressive words. 】
“But I’m also very happy to see that Xiaoman has such a good friend like you.” Qin’s mother smiled, “Can we exchange contact information?”
Ji Ran added WeChat to Qin Man’s mother in a daze.
“By the way.” Qin’s mother supported her chin with one hand, and slowly cut to the point, “Xiao Ran, Auntie has something to ask you.”
“Say.”
“Why didn’t Xiaoman bring his girlfriend here today?”
Ji Ran pursed his lips, and blinked a little faster, trying not to make his tone seem strange: “Girlfriend?”
“Yes, I don’t think he mentioned it recently… Could it be that the two had a fight?”
Ji Ran paused “Did he tell you himself?”
“Yes.” Mother Qin raised her eyebrows, “You have such a good relationship, haven’t you seen his girlfriend?”
“Yes.” Ji Ran responded without hesitation Now, when I got to the back, I didn’t know what to say, “It should be… there was no quarrel, I don’t know.” The
routine was successful, and Qin’s mother was full of joy: “Xiao Man really caught up?”
Ji Ran: “… What?”
“He just told me that there is a girl he likes and he is chasing after him.” Mother Qin smiled, “Can you tell me what kind of girl she is? In fact, it doesn’t matter what it is, as long as he likes it , It’s just that I’m too curious…”
Qin’s father, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: “Why do you ask others about this?”
Qin’s mother said, “Because Xiaoman has never been willing to tell me.”
Ji Ran remained silent for a long time .
He knew very well in his heart that the person Qin Man was talking about chasing was probably himself.
But… why do you say he is a girl?
If you think it’s not suitable to tell your parents about his gender, then you don’t have to mention it in front of Qin’s mother.
This idea just popped up, but Ji Ran quickly pushed it back.
He found it ridiculous that he himself didn’t want Qin Man to come out of the closet, and now he was thinking more about it here.
Ji Ran drank a glass of water: “I haven’t been in close contact with it, so I don’t know much about it.”
“Ah, it’s okay, I was too abrupt. Xiaoman grew up so big, and he has never had a girlfriend, so I am very happy… “Speaking of this, Qin’s mother covered her mouth and smiled, “I’ve even been investigating the prices of major wedding companies recently, am I too anxious?”
“…” Ji Ran pulled his lips, “It’s a bit.”
Just as Qin’s mother finished speaking, her phone dinged – the WeChat account of a wedding company that she added before finally approved her friend request.
So she immediately raised her mobile phone and enthusiastically began to flip through the other party’s circle of friends to return pictures.
Now Ji Ran can finally play with his mobile phone without any scruples.
Qin Man replied to him two minutes ago.
q: It’s a friend I haven’t seen for many years, soon, wait for me.
Ji Ran stared at his picture frame for a while, then subconsciously scrolled up, and all their previous chat records jumped out.
On the opposite side, Qin’s mother was still praising those wedding scenes. Hearing her excited tone, Ji Ran felt extremely ashamed when he thought of his unusual relationship with her son.
Obviously Qin’s mother is easy-going and kind, and she is also full of enthusiasm for him, but he feels extremely tormented.
When he came back to his senses, he realized that he had opened a certain picture in the chat history.
It was sent to him by Qin Man. On it, the note the other party gave him was “Kiss elementary school brother”.
… really tired crooked.
Just as Ji Ran was about to turn it off, he glanced down from the corner of his eye, only to find that there was something abrupt under his avatar.
[Grouping: . 】
They are all people in the new era, and everyone knows what this function is – some postings do not want or only want to be seen by a certain person, and that person will be put in a special group.
It turns out that people with Qin Man’s personality would also use this small function.
…What group did Qin Man divide him into?
What did Qin Man want to show him, and what did he not want to show him?
He clicked on the other party’s circle of friends, and it was extremely clean. There was only one “look for a job” a few months ago and a photo of an American bully dog posted earlier. If it were someone else, he would even think it was a trumpet.
Even Ji Ran, when he has nothing to do, will send some scattered photos, sometimes it is the corner of the newly acquired car, sometimes it is the sky with floating clouds.
… So it’s not that Qin Man doesn’t like to post on Moments, but that he blocked him?
With this realization, the remark of “Kiss Primary School Brother” suddenly became dazzling.
“Xiao Ran?” Mother Qin’s voice brought Ji Ran back to his senses.
Ji Ran subconsciously locked the phone and raised his eyes: “Huh?”
“How old are you?”
“24, what’s the matter?”
“That’s almost the age, do you have a girlfriend? Ah…don’t get me wrong, auntie I’m not going on a blind date for you.” Qin’s mother held the phone in front of Ji Ran.
On the screen, there was a very simple and elegant wedding scene, “I saw this scene and thought it was very suitable for you, you can consider it in the future. Shall I push you a business card? It must be useful.”
Ji Ran paused, Look away from the photo.
He was about to speak when his cell phone rang. It was Cheng Peng who had just returned from Madai.
“Where is it?” Cheng Peng asked.
“Dining out, what’s the matter?”
“I have something to ask you.”
Ji Ran smiled: “Bring a gift back?”
“Well, but it’s mainly about other things.” Cheng Peng looked at the document in his hand, and cut straight to the point, “I have a document in my hand, about Qin Man.”
Ji Ran smiled some.
“When I found out about the Wangxing land, I thought it was Qin Man’s trump card.” Cheng Peng paused, “I underestimated him.”
“The Wangxing land used to be Qin Man’s grandfather’s land. Later, it was recovered by the higher authorities, and his grandfather bought the right to use it for the next 50 years at a super low price. Of course, I suspect now that his grandfather left behind more than this.”
“So… If Qin If it goes bankrupt, then our company may be a canteen.”
Ji Ran finished listening quietly.
On the opposite side, Qin’s mother had already looked at the wedding dress and dress.
“I see.” After a long while, he said, “Where are those documents now?”
“My house.”
Ji Ran hummed, “I’ll go over now and get a gift by the way.”
Seeing that he hung up the phone, Mother Qin said: ” Xiao Ran, I have already pushed the business card to you…”
“No need.” Ji Ran smiled, “I don’t need those, Auntie.”
Qin’s mother froze for a while, but didn’t realize it: “Why can’t I use them.”
“Because I like men.” Ji Ran said calmly, “My partner may not like white carriages or swings at the wedding.”
“…” Mother Qin was a little surprised, but quickly realized, “Ah, I’m sorry , Xiao Man never told me…”
Speaking of this, she suddenly thought of something, and was startled again.
Ji Ran saw through her thoughts at a glance, and comforted him: “Don’t worry, Qin Man and I are just ordinary friends.”
“No, Auntie didn’t mean that.” Mother Qin frowned and explained, “I’m just sorry, I kept mentioning this to you just now…”
“It’s okay, I don’t mind.” Ji Ran stood up, “I still have some money on hand.” Please tell Qin Man for me, I will go back first.”
“See you next time, Auntie.”
