under the spotlight

Chapter 193 Gambling

After going out for more than ten days, it's not that he doesn't want to go home, but when he thinks about going home, he will see Jiang Zhongze, and maybe the two of them will be alone at home. Lu Beicen himself can't figure out what he is thinking, anyway, he is a little nervous. fear.

Looking back at A Hao's various avoidances, isn't it that he is sparing no effort to create conditions for the two of them to be alone?I have to say that Lu Beicen really admires Ah Hao, he is so imaginative, he can actually get together with two people with such an intricate relationship!
But let Lu Beicen tell Ah Hao clearly now, you don't want to mess with the mandarin couple anymore, the boy promises to look innocent and add a lot of rhetoric, so that she, the older sister, can't speak.

The key is that Lu Beicen can't say it, and she doesn't know how to say it. Maybe she doesn't even realize it, and even she can't grasp it. This matter is finally going, because she knows clearly that her heart There are two emotions, at war between man and nature, anticipation and fear.

During this period of time, Lu Beicen has not answered Jiang Zhongze and Lu Beihao's calls. Sometimes the signal is really bad in the mountains, and sometimes he doesn't know what to say, and he is even more worried that these two people will repeat their old tricks and follow her again. run.

But the family always has to go back. Lu Beicen sat in his car and thought about it. Fang Nan must have come back from a business trip. He hasn't seen each other for a long time. He made a phone call and asked Fang Nan to wait for her at home. .

As a result, when Lu Beicen returned home, not only Fang Nan was there, but even Ran Zhen was there, but at a glance, Lu Beicen found that Fang Nan had lost a lot of weight, and there was a cloud of blue under his eyes. What's wrong? I lost so much weight, did I get sick or did I lose weight on purpose?"

When Fang Nan saw Lu Beicen, he shed tears without saying a word, and was about to start to get excited. Ran Zhen winked at the inexplicable Lu Beicen, and said with a smile, "Xiao Bei, I'll requisition your kitchen today, and I'll give you whatever you want." Make something to eat, you just came back, hurry up and clean up!"

Lu Beicen immediately understood, and quickly nodded with a smile: "That's a good relationship. I'll also enjoy the treatment of opening my mouth today. Sister Zhen, where is Yifan? Why didn't you bring them together?"

"Little Demon King has a classmate celebrating his birthday today, and he is going to celebrate his birthday. Auntie will pick him up later and take him to wash and sleep. I can be regarded as a vacation." Ran Zhen followed the road As Bei Cen spoke, he watched Fang Nan silently lift the suitcase in and walked in, his eyes continued to suggest silently, and the corners of his mouth showed a trace of helplessness.

The two entered the room one after the other. Before Lu Beicen could speak, Fang Nan spoke first: "You wash up first, and then talk. I'll go and help Sister Zhen."

For dinner, I had steak and pizza, a bowl of vegetable salad, and a yogurt mixed with fruit. Ran Zhen also cooked some red wine. The red wine with fruits and spices tasted very strange, not to mention the fruity aroma, and there was no red wine The original sourness, Lu Beicen doesn't like to drink, but he also thinks it's quite delicious.

The three of them brought food to the living room, eating to fill their stomachs, but chatting was the main point, and the topic was always around Fang Nan.

After eating half full, Lu Beicen figured out what happened to Fang Nan.

Fang Nan and Zhan Yunbo wanted to get married. Fang's mother heard that Zhan's family didn't buy a house, but just bought a very ordinary scooter, which was still under Zhan Yunbo's name. In his house, he opened his mouth and asked for 20 dowry money, and the money was not transferred to Fang Nan, but was put in Fang Nan's sister-in-law's house to invest in building a house. The land of the house can only be used by Fang's family. The name of my sister and mother-in-law, because only she is eligible to divide the land.

Fang Nan felt that this was unreasonable, thinking that her father, who loved her since childhood, would be on her side, so she took the time to go home by herself, but to her surprise, her parents had agreed on this matter Yes, the Fang family's father also thought that it would be easy to rent out the land after building a house, and it was obvious that he had already visited the land.

Seeing this, Fang Nan raised the issue of ownership.The Fang family's father first told her not to treat a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart, and then said that she had already thought about this issue, could sign an agreement and be fair, and there was only such a son in the family, no matter what property she had , that belonged to Fang Nan's sister and brother-in-law.

"Then what if the two of them get divorced?" Fang Nan blurted out in desperation.

Fang Nan's mother's face was dark at the time: "Their family is more particular than Zhan's family. When they got married, your sister's name was on the wedding room. After marriage, the two bought two houses. Their family paid for it. It is someone who sincerely regards your sister as her own family. Your brother-in-law’s salary card has been handed over to your sister since she got married. Your sister’s family of three eats at her in-law’s house, but she hasn’t paid a penny. Don’t look at you Read the book well, on this point, your sister can plan for yourself better than you."

Fang Nan's father also began to chime in: "Since you don't know how to plan for yourself, we have to plan for you, get married, live a life, open the door, and which one doesn't cost money? Accounting for Yunbo's current salary is not half of yours, right?" , their family is still burdened, you will have to have children in the future, you said you don't have any other sources of income, how are you going to live?"

When Fang Nan heard this, his father would still call out Xiao Zhan no matter how unhappy he was, but now he even called out his first and last name. It is conceivable that he is determined.

Speaking of this, Lu Beicen and Ran Zhen looked at each other. Fang Nan's parents already understood what Fang Nan's parents meant. All betrothal gifts were just a cover, and the real purpose was either to consider or persuade them to quit.

20 is a lot of money for Zhan Yunbo's family. The two old people would not have imagined that he couldn't get it out. A penny is hard for a hero, let alone 20. In the face of numbers, does the relationship between Zhan Yunbo and Fang Nan stand the test of time?

In this world, there are so many sweet loves between you and me, and they all died at a certain moment before marriage. What is said is that love is stronger than gold, but the test is whether two people have the courage to face the hardships of life. Life is too long. I can't even pass the financial barrier before marriage, it's better to break up the partnership as soon as possible to save future pain.

It's just that they never thought that Fang Nan, a silly girl, wanted to be double-faced, but she tortured herself into this appearance.

"You haven't discussed it with your boss, have you?" Lu Beicen looked surprised.

Fang Nan's expression was embarrassing, and Ran Zhen's expression was helpless: "Look at you, don't blame me for talking about you, right? Marriage is a matter between two people, so what's the matter if you put yourself on the fire alone?"

"I can't open my mouth. Every time I see him tired like a dog, I really can't open my mouth." Fang Nan's voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible.

"Then you are so skinny and he didn't ask a question?"

"I said I lost weight, but he scolded me."

"Ha, I'm afraid it wasn't intentional. A doctor can't tell the difference between weight loss and mental stress?" Ran Zhen saw that Fang Nan's face was going to change, so he immediately waved his hand and said, "Forget it, maybe it's me. When you see too much, you will fight to the death when you get divorced."

Ran Zhen glanced at Lu Beicen again, hesitated for a moment and said, "I have something to say. After thinking about it, I decided to just say it. It's just for reference. If you don't want to hear it, just pretend I didn't say it."

"Well, I mean, I think your parents may not really be after the money, but want to see Zhan Yunbo. You can't see a person clearly in the past, but people are in front of money. And in front of such a large amount of money, some nature will be exposed. Don't you want to see what kind of person you have chosen? Or, if he has the ability and courage to face these problems ?”

Lu Beicen couldn't help but want to applaud Ran Zhen when she heard the words. Although she also had guesses, she didn't know what to say. became a test.

For a moment, the three of them were speechless, they should eat and drink in silence. Fang Nan ate two pieces of bananas mixed with yogurt, and suddenly asked: "Then, if he can't stand the test, what should I do?"

Ran Zhen opened her mouth, and swallowed the words that had already reached her lips, but the two people next to her could see that what she wanted to say was, "Then let's break up, whoever leaves in this world can still be happy." I can't live!"

Lu Beicen coughed lightly before saying: "You don't know, do you have so little confidence in your old Zhan? Or do you not have confidence in yourself?"

Ran Zhen obviously didn't agree with Lu Beicen's saying that if you said it, you didn't say it. Anyway, you said it, so you just said quickly: "Silly girl, no matter how you decide, there is only one thing. Don't be impulsive and use your will to get the certificate in advance." Now, if you find that there are many problems in the future, it will be too late to regret. I am a person who has experienced it. Although my situation was different from yours at the time, but don't turn against your parents because of someone or something. In this world, you are always regarded as Baby, it’s really only the parents.”

Seeing the two eyes looking over at the same time, Ran Zhen simply waved his hand and said, "Don't ask, if you ask, you don't have any. Anyway, I'm already eating the bitter fruit. Now I dare not go back home, and the old man's brain is so angry at me However, two people who have been clean and decent all their lives are guilty of raising a daughter like me. Hey, I didn't realize it before, but I feel more and more in the past few years..."

With a wry smile on the corner of Ran Zhen's mouth, she raised her glass and drank it down in one gulp, hiding her red eyes.

Lu Beicen looked at the two people in front of him, and then thought about himself, if his parents knew about Jiang Zhongze, how would they react?In life, everyone has their own difficulties, but what are you thinking?
The three of them had their own concerns, remained silent, and mechanically finished all the food on the table, and the atmosphere gradually became better.

"By the way, why are there so many vegetables in your refrigerator? They are all fresh. The steak and pizza ingredients, as well as the yogurt and yellow peaches, are all in your refrigerator. Didn't you just come back? I don't think you have any Auntie, please." Ran Zhen asked about the moment of surprise when she opened the refrigerator door just now.

"Uh, maybe my brother bought it, he often eats at my place." Lu Beicen subconsciously replied.

"No, I ran into Chen Ke when I came back the day before yesterday. He complained that you two siblings have been on a business trip. I think Jiang Zhongze should have bought it." Fang Nan said while staring at Lu Bei with a trace of inquiry. Cen.

Ran Zhen glanced at the two of them, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I told you two a joke. That day, the first day, you helped me bring Yifan. Later, he chatted with me and said that Aunt Xiaobei was Auntie Xiaobei." Uncle Ze's daughter-in-law, I said how did you know, he said he saw it..."

Ran Zhen laughed while talking, and directly turned the topic to Lu Beicen: "How is it? Children's eyesight is still very keen!"

Lu Beicen's cheeks were already blushing, and he had no choice but to hide that while he was packing up the tableware, he began to argue: "How is it possible, Yifan in your family is a big kid, and he knows that Lalang is suitable for him at such a young age."

"It's impossible for you to blush, something really happened between you two, right?" Fang Nan would not let Lu Beicen go.

"What can happen, don't you know the situation of our two families? I don't want to cause a family war. Get up and let me wash the dishes."

"Wait a minute, I must have missed something, otherwise you couldn't have this tone, this expression, this reaction." Who is Fang Nan, that is the person who is most familiar with Lu Beicen.

"No, there is nothing, there is, and it can only be treated as nothing happened. Why do you let things develop when you know there is no result?" Lu Beicen was categorical. This was after watching the sunrise that day. Even though she has a clear idea, although she is not feeling well these days, it does not prevent her from implementing her decision.

"I think you two are very good, how suitable, although the two are relatives, but you have no blood relationship, and their relatives are all abroad, you are in the country, the sky is high, the emperor is far away, what's wrong, don't you Maybe it's because you're worried that he will take you to live abroad after you get married?" It's not like Ran Zhen hasn't asked Fang Nan about it anyway, and he didn't hide it, so he just asked.

Lu Beicen sighed, imitating Ran Zhen's tone and said: "Don't ask, it's not okay to ask, hey, I don't want to talk about it, I really don't want to talk about it, so please forgive me."

Ran Zhen and Fang Nan laughed together after being teased by Lu Beicen, but they stopped entangled with her about this question and started asking about Lin Fei. Lu Beicen wanted to change the subject quickly, and told Lin Fei's situation again. He also told about Xiang Wanlin, and the eyes of the two people beside him widened.

"No way, how much does it cost you to make a piece of news, and you can control people's mouths so much?" Fang Nan asked with a look of astonishment.

"It's worth a thousand bucks, it depends on the level, anyway, there are only so many at most." Lu Beicen replied.

Ran Zhen sneered: "Oh, then Lin Fei might as well go there by himself. At worst, he should be more concealed. This is not impossible. Why do you want to take advantage of others."

"Sister, this is a crime, a crime!" Lu Beicen and Fang Nan shouted together.

"Forget it, bet or not, anyway, this matter, or something similar, who of you, what Lin, there is a high probability that you will be able to retreat unscathed, at most you will lose your job." Ran Zhen said with the corner of his mouth curled up.

"Can't you?" Lu Beicen's eyes were wide open, and he looked at Ran Zhen. The expression on her face that you are so stupid and naive has turned into a few big characters, flashing in front of Lu Beicen's eyes...
