If you hadn't come, how old would you make me

Chapter 40

Wen Ran closed the door angrily, and Mrs. Wen who was watching TV in the living room was startled by the loud noise.She took off her reading glasses and cast a reproachful look at her daughter: "What's the matter?" When she got closer, she smelled the alcohol on her body, and couldn't help frowning, "Are you going out with the boss again tonight?"

"Yeah." Wen Ran muffled a reply, unable to cheer up.

"Go and wash, the smell of alcohol makes me dizzy."

Wen Ran hummed, hurriedly took a shower, and stood in front of the bedroom mirror to toss her hair.Mrs. Wen came in with a glass of milk, and took the towel in her hand.So Wen Ran lay on the bed, enjoying her mother's soft massage to relieve the dull pain in her head.

"Ran Ran, mom has something to tell you."

"Go ahead."

"Today, your aunt called and said that next week is the old man's 78th birthday, and she wants us to go there..." Before Mrs. Wen finished speaking, the subordinate's head moved, and a pair of bright eyes rolled up to look at She: "Auntie means, let us all go there? You, and me?"

Mother nodded with a smile, a hint of relief in her smile.

Wen Ran sat up from the bed: "So, grandpa is ready to accept you?" Seeing her mother nodding, Wen Ran couldn't help hugging her excitedly, "Great, this is really great!"

"Silly girl!" Mrs. Wen pushed her away, but couldn't hide the smile on her face.

Thanks to the good news, Wen Ran slept fairly well that night.

But as soon as he went to work the next day, Wen Ran noticed that Chu Lin looked at her strangely.She forced herself to calmly walk back to her seat, and after a while, she received an internal call from Director Chu, asking her to talk about something.

"This is the contract from the GP branch of T City this morning. Would you like to have a look?"

Wen Ran was suddenly very surprised: "Director, are you sure you want me to take a look?"

Chu Lin smiled wryly before asking, "Actually, I want to know more about how we won this contract."

Wen Ranjiong, she wants to know more than he does, among the many clients of GP, they are definitely not the ones with strong financial resources, and being able to get this contract is indeed beyond her expectations.

Could it be that he released the water on purpose?Wen Ran bit her lip and thought.

"Last night, you and Mr. Ye?" Chu Lin asked tentatively, and smiled shyly when he met Wen Ran's bright eyes, "I didn't want to pry into your privacy, but I thought it might be related to This contract in my hand is related."

In fact, he was selfish and wanted to know her relationship with him inexplicably.

Wen Ran was slightly startled, and then said: "We do know each other. But except for the last time I went to the GP branch with you to participate in the negotiation, I have never mentioned this project contract in front of him. In fact..." After a pause, she Meet his expectant eyes, and smiled embarrassedly, "We haven't seen each other for more than half a year. That meeting was also very sudden."

I see.Chu Lin thought relaxedly.

When she was about to leave the office, Chu Lin suddenly stopped her again: "Wen Ran."

"Huh?" She turned around suspiciously.

He smiled embarrassedly: "It may make you feel awkward, but I want to ask, do you have a boyfriend?"

Wen Ran paused and froze on the spot.

"Actually, you can tell the truth and tell him you have a boyfriend. It's just that he hasn't been seen for a while."

In the restaurant, Wen Ran was eating spaghetti while listening to the man opposite, she took the time to look up at him, and then continued to eat.

"Or, you can tell him that you have a substitute boyfriend, me." The man continued, with a slight smile on his lips.

Wen Ran finally couldn't stand the disturbance, and put down his fork: "Major Zhao, is the People's Liberation Army as rascal as you?"

Zhao Weichuan blinked: "Where do I have it, didn't you ask for it yourself?"

In a word, Wen Ran's breaking point was reached.

The memory went back to April and May. At that time, she had just graduated, and she was so busy with work that she had no clue. Lin Sheng also helped her to submit her resume. When she received an interview call from the company's HR department Some dizzy.She almost forgot how she got into this company.

What made her even more at a loss was the phone call from Qiao Yufen.

On the phone, her aunt asked her to take her boyfriend home.The home here refers to Wen Zhai.

Wen Ran was shocked, and then faltered on the phone: "Uncle, Aunt...I..."

"Why, is it inconvenient?" Qiao Yufen asked, "The main reason is that the old man knows and wants to meet."

It was grandpa who wanted to see her, how could she refuse?But, where did she go to find him?Looking at the sky, Wen Ran felt a sense of helplessness and depression sinking to the bottom of the valley.

In the end, in desperation, he asked Zhao Weichuan for help.This person was unexpectedly easy to talk, and before agreeing, he threw her a question: "I promise you that it's fine, but have you figured out how to lie about it?"

Wen Ran was taken aback by his question, and then quickly answered: "I have no choice but to take one step at a time."

In fact, there is another reason why she didn't mention it. At present, the only person who can satisfy Grandpa with his shot is this one.

The eldest aunt, Qiao Yufen, was the one who knew her boyfriend's identity in advance, so she couldn't help being surprised when she saw Zhao Weichuan, so she reacted and didn't expose it.This is someone she and the old man are satisfied with. If they can be together, wouldn't it be better than a teacher-student relationship.

In this way, it was concealed. In Major Zhao's words, Wen Ran owed him a big favor, and if he found him "Uncle Ye", he had to get it all back.

"Wen Ran, is there no news from Uncle Ye yet?" Zhao Weichuan grabbed the plate of spaghetti in front of him without taking a bite.

"Yes." She answered bluntly, biting her fork at the end to think, "But it's better not to have."

Zhao Weichuan smiled faintly, but he was not surprised: "Why?"

Why?Wen Ran also asked herself, why does she feel this way?I always feel that that person hasn't changed at all, and I'm not surprised by the changes. Even if I disappear for so long without a sound, I can still act as if nothing happened when I reappear. Do you want to talk to her?
It seemed that she had been worrying for so long that it was like nothing.The worry was gone, and my heart became empty.

When she came back to her senses, she looked at Zhao Weichuan who was dressed in casual clothes: "Uh, I haven't had time to ask you, why did you suddenly come to T City?"

Zhao Weichuan glanced at her coolly, "It's not because of you."

Some time ago, his regiment had been conducting drills on the prairie. After the drill was finally over, he took a vacation and returned to City B to visit Mr. Wen with his father.During the dinner, Mr. Wen kindly asked about his recent situation with Wen Ran, and gently "instructed" that Wen Ran is currently working in T City and is relatively busy. If he has time, he will come and see her.

Wen Ran: "It seems that my grandpa still cares about me."

"Wrong." Zhao Weichuan said with a smile, "He's just afraid that you won't be able to get married."

Wen Ran glared immediately.

After leaving the hotel, Zhao Weichuan went to pick up the car, sent her back to the company, then returned to City B by himself, and reported to the old general that the task of visiting relatives was completed.

The weather in T City these days has been weird, and the temperature has been dropping continuously. Wen Ran was wearing a long-sleeved suit jacket and was standing at the door waiting. He saw a black car driving not far away. It looked familiar. Look carefully, but It's not Zhao Weichuan's car.

She couldn't help but want to laugh, how could some people disappear for so long at once, and then appear in front of her so frequently at once.

She looked at him in a suit and smiled: "Mr. Ye, good noon, you come here for dinner too."

He raised his eyes and responded lightly, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Ate."

"Eat some more with me."

The answer was really smooth, and Wen Ran tried his best to maintain a smile: "I'm sorry Mr. Ye, I said I've eaten." There was a hint of anger in his tone.

The corners of his lips could not help but curve into a beautiful arc, with a clear smile: "I see. Where are you going? I'll take you there?"

"Don't bother Ye Xian—"

Before the word "birth" could be uttered, Wen Ran was suddenly hugged by someone. She was immediately stunned, and looked at him with wide eyes: "Wen Ran, don't call me that again." Her expression was gentle, but her tone was full of warning .

He didn't like this kind of deliberate alienation, she knew it.It's just that now she is angry and angry, and of course she won't go according to her will.

Seeing Zhao Weichuan parked on the side of the road watching a good show from afar, she rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, but Professor Ye, can you let go, my boyfriend is watching."

Ye Yizhen lost his mind for a moment, loosened the strength in his hands, and followed her gaze.Wen Ran took this opportunity to break free and ran towards Zhao Weichuan's car.After getting into the car, she let out a big breath: "Hurry up, hurry up!"

Zhao Weichuan drove the car away without stopping for a second: "Miss Wen, I only have three words in my mind right now."

Wen Ran glanced at him, "What, what?"

"I am done."

Zhao Weichuan smiled wryly, and at the same time remembered that there was a time when Old General Ye celebrated his birthday, and his father went to Jingshan with him to celebrate his birthday.There, he accidentally met Ye Yizhen, a person he had only heard about from Ye Lao, but had never met.

During the dinner, he sat next to him and asked softly, "Do you know Wen Ran?"

He was shocked, "Know."

"Is it ripe?"

"Not very familiar." He smiled, "But each other's family hopes that we can develop further."

He also smiled, and then said lightly: "This level is good now."

"Huh?" He didn't understand, but Ye Yizhen just smiled.Later, he realized that Ye Yizhen at that time was quietly eliminating his love rival.It is said that falling in love will lower the IQ of people, but for him, it is not always the case.

Wednesday is Mr. Wen's 78th birthday, and Wen Ran took leave of absence in advance to return to City B with Mrs. Wen.

On the day of departure, Wen Ran got up early and made breakfast for the two of them after cleaning up.But sitting at the dining table and waiting for a long time, her mother still didn't come out, Wen Ran couldn't help walking quickly to her mother's room and knocked on the door.Pushing open the door and entering, the mother was standing in front of the mirror, when she saw Wen Ran, she hurriedly beckoned her over.

"what happened?"

Mrs. Wen was a little worried: "Come and help me choose some clothes, I don't know what to wear."

Wen Ran lowered her eyebrows and looked at the clothes that covered the entire bed, and smiled: "Mom, are you a little nervous?"

Mrs. Wen raised her hand and slapped her, with a blushed expression: "You still dare to laugh at your mother, find a slap!"

Wen Ran begged for mercy again and again, and chose a piece of clothing to give to her.Mrs. Wen put on and straightened her slightly messy hair in front of the mirror.She asked Wen Ran: "Is it okay?" After asking, she tugged at the hem of her clothes with some anxiety.

Looking at her mother's cautious and expectant expression, Wen Ran couldn't help feeling a little sore in her nose. She leaned on her mother's shoulder and looked at the person in the mirror with her: "You look good, mom, you are the most beautiful person in the world."

"It's a silly girl at first glance, and there are people who praise mother like this." Mrs. Wen laughed, seeing her daughter's pretty husband-like face, Mrs. Wen couldn't help sighing, "If your father is still here, it will be fine, he must Will be the happiest one."

Sensing the bitterness in her mother's words, Wen Ran took a breath and comforted her: "Yes, he will know."

Mrs. Wen smiled and rubbed her face.
