Creation’s Grace

Back home, Butler Chen came to pick them up.

Ran Jin said to go to Chi's villa first and send Chi Yu home.

"Go to Miss Ran's apartment first." Chi Yu said to Butler Chen.

Butler Chen, who was about to start the car, froze in place for a while when he heard the two destinations.

He turned his head and smiled at the two eldest young ladies behind him——you two made up your mind before moving.

"Why do you want to go to my apartment first?" Ran Jin asked Chi Yu, "It's closer to Chi's house from the airport."

Going to Chi's house first and then to the apartment is clearly a smoother way.

Chi Yu's gaze shifted downwards and landed on Ran Jin's unnaturally raised leg.

"You didn't hire a servant, did you?"

"Um……"

"No one takes care of you, how will you live with your legs like this?"

The meaning of Chi Yu's words was not only to send her back, but also to stay and take care of her.

"No problem, I can do it myself." Ran Jin said with certainty, "It's just that one leg is a little inconvenient, isn't there a crutch? I'm just doing some daily life at home, and I don't do any difficult sports. real……"

"Uncle Chen, let's drive and go to Miss Ran's apartment." Chi Yu gave her an order without talking to her.

Ran Jin wanted to say something else, Chi Yu took the lead and said:

"Is it because I didn't take good care of it during this time? Okay, I'll go back and let Aunt Su come over, or do you want to hire a capable nurse again?"

Ran Jin: "..."

There was no way, Ran Ban couldn't say it was too late, so he could only listen to her.

Moreover... the fact that Chi Yu took the initiative to take care of her made her secretly yearn for it, and it was difficult to refuse.

While Ran Jin was still thinking, Steward Chen received the exact message from the silence and drove to Ran Jin's apartment.

When he arrived at the apartment, Chi Yu didn't tell Ran Jin much, he directly helped her upstairs, and turned around and said to Butler Chen:

"Uncle Chen, help me carry all the luggage up."

"Okay!"

After carrying all their luggage up and putting them away, Butler Chen left.

Chi Yu had come to this apartment, and Ran Jin knew that she had come.

Compared with Chi's Villa, the apartment is very compact, and the area is not large. It has one living room, one bedroom and one bathroom, plus a cloakroom and study, and that's all it has.

The last time I met late, I secretly borrowed my sister's permission and sneaked in without the owner's knowledge.

At that time, Chi Yu carried the anger that all the truth had been revealed, and had the determination to let Ran Jin fall into the abyss of pain.

And now, when I came back here, it was actually to take care of the "enemy" that I wanted to kill.

Chi Yu once again stood in the corridor full of oil paintings and fossil rubbings, with a complicated mood.

Ran Jin knew that Chi Yu should not come up and that he should keep a distance.

But when Chi Yu took her upstairs, she found that she had no ability to resist Chi Yu without the help of alcohol.

At this time, Chi Yu was standing in the living room of her house, observing the details of her life, and staying here for several days to come.

The late encounter into her life made Ran Ban nervous.

"Do you want to drink peach juice?" Ran Jin secretly adjusted his attitude, walked to the refrigerator with a cane, and took out a can of peach juice.

"Thank you..." Chi Yu glanced at it, this peach juice was the same brand she drank since she was a child.

Chi Yu drank peach juice and asked her, "Why do you like fossils?"

I only knew that she liked it before, but I never asked her why she liked it.

Ran Jin didn't expect Chi Yu to be interested in her hobby.

The apartment is a roosting habitat, where few people come.

Lu Sima usually just went downstairs, and Ran Ban never invited her.

Chi Li has been here before, but she is not interested in everything here, only to get something or do something, and stop occasionally.

Ran Jin doesn't have any friends, and she doesn't want to make any friends.

So far, this is the first time someone has entered her real life.

This person is still late.

"Because fossils are the relics of life, they record the origin of life and the path it has traveled in this life." Ran Ban held a cane and stood beside Chi Yu, looking at her favorite rubbings of ammonite outer core fossils, which were somewhat hidden. He couldn't help expressing his desire for Chi Yu, "No matter how long they have died, the traces from birth to death are concentrated in the fossils."

Chi Yu watched Ran Jin intently at the fossil rubbings, as if he once again saw Ran Ban, who preached on the highly anticipated podium that the future of new energy belongs to the Chi Group.

"Real." There was light in Ran Jin's eyes, and he could hardly take his eyes off it. "What fascinates me most about the fossil is that it engraves the most real appearance of life."

For her incomparably gentle and considerate Ran Jin, who revolves around her as long as she speaks a word, occasionally devotes her attention to other things, and when she is obsessed with other things, it is strange and special.

Chi Yu was curious: "Why do you only collect rubbings, but not the fossils themselves? Even if the fossils are not well preserved, there are still many 3D printed models, even simulation models. Why don't you collect those, isn't it more realistic and three-dimensional? ?"

Unexpectedly, Ran Jin said: "I just want to leave traces about life, and I don't want to really own them."

Ran Jin's words seem to have some kind of symbolic meaning, like her obsession with fossil rubbings.

It's just that Chi Yu at that time heard it in his ears and turned a few turns in his heart, but he couldn't really understand it.

After all, what Ran Jin has experienced, and what he shoulders at the moment, is much more than what Chi Yu had thought.

Ran Jin came from a world that Chi Yu had never thought of, with a pain that ordinary people could never understand.

The apartment has only one bedroom and a single bed. Ran Jin wanted to give it to Chi Yu, and she went to sleep on the sofa by herself.

If it wasn't for the fact that Ran Jin was older than her, Chi Yu would have wanted to hit her on the forehead: "I'm here to take care of the patient, what's the point of letting you sleep on the sofa alone?"

Of course Chi Yu refused, and after stuffing Ran Jin into the bedroom, he directly occupied the sofa in the living room, driving Ran Jin to sleep quickly.

Originally, she had no strength to meet Ran Ban, and because of the inconvenience of her legs and feet, it was even more difficult for her to get out of bed. It was really inconvenient for her to get out of bed.

The next day, Ran Jin just woke up, and Chi Yu also woke up. He knocked on the door and asked her if she wanted to get up.

"I'm in." Chi Yu asked at the door.

"Well..." Ran Jin turned over while holding the pillow, and answered vaguely for a long time.

I don't know if it was because of the late encounter, but last night, Ran Ban slept soundly, without insomnia, and slept directly until dawn without even adjusting the jet lag.

This is very rare for her who has been sleeping poorly.

She rarely felt that her eyes were not sore or sore when she woke up. She fell asleep quickly last night, and had some pleasant dreams, and she slept easily until this morning.

Because it was so comfortable, I was a little greedy for the comfort in my dreams. After Chi Yu came in, Ran Jin was still wrapped in drowsiness and half-opened his eyes.

"Didn't sleep well?" Chi Yu walked over to her bed and picked her up from the bed.

"No..." Ran Jin, who had always been nervous, spoke in a soft, nasal tone.

Chi Yu hugged her waist, the feeling of being hugged made Ran Ban wake up quickly, and immediately stood up by himself: "I can get up by myself."

"Don't be stubborn." Chi Yu didn't let go of her, but hugged her tighter, supporting her as she stood up, "Didn't I hold you firmly? If you can't stand well and fall again, Your newly grown bones can't stand up to you."

Ran Ban was in her arms and had nothing to say, and worked hard to stand up with Chi Yu.

As soon as Chi Yu stretched out his hand, he got the crutches that were leaning against the wall, and felt that the bedroom was pitifully small.

"Why don't you buy a bigger apartment?" Chi Yu looked at the window, which was not a floor-to-ceiling window, so the view was not very good.

"You don't need to buy a big one, I'm not used to it." Ran Jin brought the crutches.

Ran Jin's words made Chi Yu think of the small partition in the cloakroom of her sister's bedroom.

Really small.

I don't like big houses... Could it be that Ran Jin is used to living in that small partition?

However, isn't Ran Jin's father a well-known manufacturing leader?

Even if she later broke up with her family for unknown reasons and wandered outside for a long time, but many habits were cultivated since she was a child, how could she not be used to living in a big house?

Ran Jin went to the kitchen by himself and asked Chi Yu, "What do you want for breakfast?"

Chi Yu followed and persuaded her to go back: "Can you take a break? I'm here to take care of you, not to cause you trouble. Tell me, I'll cook what you want to eat. If you really If you want to be active, brush your teeth and wash your face, and you will be able to eat when I'm done."

What else did Ran Jin have to say, Chi Yu stood up straight, she was 1.75 meters taller than 168 Ran Jin, even though she was inferior in age, but due to the difference in height and health, The late encounter is full of aura:

"Sister Ran, you say I'm going to take you out directly."

Ran Jin: "..."

Run away immediately.

In the past, when I met ten fingers, I didn't touch the spring water, and I didn't cook any food except the kitchen itself.

She knew it was because she didn't focus on cooking.

If she wanted to learn something, she would learn it quickly.

In the morning, she would prepare breakfast for Ran Jin and ask her what she wanted to do after breakfast.

If she wants to read a book, get her a book, and if she wants to check her work, bring her tablet and laptop.

After arranging Ran Jin's needs, Chi Yu will go to the company to deal with the things that must be handled.

Come back at noon to help her cook, ask her what she wants to eat before she can, and bring takeout on the way back.

In general, Ran Ban has no pursuit of eating. The most common sentence is: "Xiaoyu, I will eat with you what you want to eat."

Chi Yu thought about it, and yes, after all, in the Excel sheet that former assistant Xiao Zhang gave to Chi Yu, all of Ran Ban's favorite dishes came with Chi Yu.

"Then can I bring Gong Bao Chicken and Dry Fried Niuhe back? It's the Chinese restaurant downstairs in the company."

"Okay." When Ran Jin spoke to her, his voice was always soft.

I've always been afraid of trouble, but when I was waiting for the takeaway in the Chinese restaurant, I didn't feel a little irritable, and I was willing to stand here and wait.

Ran Jin's apartment is very convenient, it's very close to the company, and she goes back and forth quickly.

Only, in addition to being small, there is one more point, that is, there are almost no mirrors. After searching all over the house, only in the corner of the bathroom was a mirror that was too small to reflect half of his face.

The Ran ban habit is really hard to fathom.

For Chi Yu, who can't live without mirrors everywhere, it's really troublesome, so he has to buy one by himself.

On the days of Chi Yu, Ran Jin enjoyed an unprecedented high-quality sleep.

Even if one person is in the bedroom and one person is in the living room, it still makes Ran Ban feel extra safe.

But Ran Jin still felt distressed to see Chi Yu sleeping on the sofa, and asked the doctor to come to help her rehabilitate. Soon, Ran Jin would be able to walk by herself.

Even though she was a little reluctant, she was even more reluctant to be late on the sofa.

"I don't need a cane anymore, I can walk by myself. Don't sleep on the sofa anymore, go home and have a good sleep."

She thought that Chi Yu would be relieved, but she didn't expect that she was slightly startled, and she didn't hide a trace of loss.

"Okay." Chi Yu said, "Then I won't bother you."

Ran Jin: "..."

Chi Yu said he would leave, but Ran Ban had no face to hold back.

An hour after Chi Yu left, Ran Ban sent her a WeChat message and asked her if she was home.

She replied quickly, but only two words——

【arrive】

Dry and not even punctuation marks.

Is Xiao Yu angry?

Ran Jin: "..."

He tapped his forehead with his phone in frustration.

Okay, Ran Jin sat on the sofa. It was indeed too intimate recently. This was what she longed for, but not what she wanted.

Today at noon, you don't need to go to Ran Jin's apartment to worry about her lunch. If there is nothing to worry about, Qi Tong made an appointment, and the two went to the Chinese restaurant in the building for dinner.

"It can be regarded as seeing a living person." Qi Tong began to sigh without taking a sip of water when he came, "You flew overseas without saying a word before, it is normal not to see people, why can't you find your people when you come back? What have you been doing all this time?"

Chi Yu handed the lemonade to Qi Tong, signaling her to take a breath.

Qi Tongton finished drinking a glass of water, and Chi Yu said slowly, "Ran Ban was injured so badly to save me. Of course I was taking care of her during this time."

Qi Tong put down the glass and carefully observed the late encounter.

"what?"

"It's tiring to take care of patients." Qi Tong said something.

Chi Yu didn't care at all, and it seemed that part of her mind didn't know where it was, and not all of it was present: "It's okay, after all, she was very lucky to survive the collision at that time, and both hands and legs were injured. Yesterday I can walk on my own without a cane.”

Qi Tong is even more curious: "Then why does our sister Yu look not tired at all, and her face is flushed."

Late encounter: "..."

"You and your sister-in-law, no, the former sister-in-law, have been facing each other this month, has nothing happened?"

Qi Tong is a melon eater, and nothing can be hidden from her eyes.

Chi Yu said the truth: "That's not true."

Qi Tong didn't believe it: "How is it possible, you hated her so much before, let alone taking care of her, it would be nice not to take advantage of her illness to kill her, but now you actually want to take care of her."

Chi Yu told her her thoughts and listed all her thoughts recently.

Qi Tong also felt that it made sense after hearing it: "Also, if Ran Jin is really the murderer, why should he return the Chi Group that has already been obtained to you, and he will not give up his life to save you this big resistance."

"The most important point." When Chi Yu said this, he looked around and said in a low voice, "We had an accident after we found out about Zhou Yu. I was abroad and you were in China. At the same time, I encountered a car accident. How can there be such a coincidence? It must be because of the very sensitive clues. At that time, Ran Jin suddenly appeared on my way to the observatory. It's a coincidence, but it's a bit too coincidental."

"You mean, Ran Ban got the news that someone was going to hurt you and flew all the way to protect you?"

After saying this, Qi Tong was really moved by Ran Ban's.

"Not all." Chi Yu said.

Qi Tong: "Huh?"

"She has a daughter overseas and she went to see her."

"daughter?"

"It's not her daughter, it's not her own."

"Sister Yu, can you finish your speech in one go? You scared me to death." Qi Tong took the water that she met late and took a sip to suppress her shock.

Chi Yu: "It's my sister's own."

Qi Tong almost spat out.

"What! When did your sister have a baby? Why have I never heard of you?"

"Stop talking about you, I've never heard of it myself."

"This... how old is the child? Your sister and Ran Jin gave birth? No, can they both be female?"

"It's more than three years old. My sister gave birth to someone else. It has nothing to do with Ran Jin. According to Ran Jin's words, she should take care of this child for her sister."

Qi Tong's eyes were empty: "It's more than three years old... The world of you rich people, the relationship is really chaotic."

Even a veteran of eating melons, hearing such shocking news still gave her a little indigestion.

Chi Yu raised his hand and tapped her on the head: "Schadenfreude."

Qi Tong touched her head and pouted, and after a moment of recollection of this sweet melon, she sighed: "Ran Ban really has nothing to say to your sister, they both broke up and your sister is gone, she still takes care of your sister's children. Hey? No, you said that the child lives in City A, not far from you, why did you hide it from you? The two of them were in China before, so it would be more convenient for you to take care of them from time to time than for them to fly for more than ten hours. Besides, the relationship between your sisters is still so good, you will definitely take good care of the children, right?"

After finishing speaking, Qi Tong noticed another doubt: "That's not right, why put the child overseas? Doesn't your sister live in China all year round?"

She immediately took out the tablet: "Yes, I remember correctly. I have checked all your sister's itineraries in the past few years. She has been flying all over the world, but among the itineraries that can be found, the longest overseas business trip is 30 years. Four days, and the other untraceable disappearances are only sixty-five days. How can she have time to give birth?"

Chi Yu was not surprised at Qi Tong's words: "I also thought of this. This child may not have been born by my sister. However, she looks exactly like my sister when she was a child..."

Qi Tong asked, "...It's not a surrogate, right?"

Chi Yu glared at her: "My sister will not go to surrogacy. She has sponsored an organization against surrogacy before."

"Well..." Qi Tong's mind was spinning at a high speed: "The child named Nana didn't pick up her country because she was sick, maybe it was because she couldn't be exposed in the country. I didn't let you know because you couldn't. Yes. What is it that you can't know? What bad consequences will Nana's existence bring to you?"

Her words made them both lost in thought.

"I have asked my friends overseas to help me check the birth record of this child." Chi Yu looked at the shopping mall corridor with people coming and going outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, his eyes darkened, "I have a feeling that this child and I My sister's passing is also inextricably linked, like all the new things I know after her passing."

From all the clues obtained before, it seems that the relationship between Ran Jin and his sister is not as loving as outsiders see, and it may be a fake relationship from the beginning.

Then why is Ran Jin still wearing the watch that her sister gave her? Just because I'm too lazy to replace?

But a watch is an intimate accessory to carry around, and who would want to wear it as a gift from someone who doesn't like it?

What's more, she and her sister have already broken up, why do they have to travel thousands of miles to take care of her sister's "daughter"?

The relationship between Ran Jin and Nana, Chi Yu watched the whole process, not perfunctory at all.

It can even be said to be meticulous and gentle.

It's not like she was just entrusted by her sister and had no choice but to.

Chi Yu thought that maybe she and Nana had gotten along before and had a relationship, so she was willing to take care of her sister after her death.

Before going back, Ran Jin suddenly appeared on the Panshan Highway and saved her life.

Before Nana appeared unexpectedly, Ran Jin said that she came to City A for a business trip, and Chi Yu deduced that she should not be on a business trip, but to visit Nana in City A.

Perhaps my sister died too suddenly, and Nana didn't know it yet, and because of trivial matters, Ran Jin hadn't seen Nana for a while. This time, she went to appease Nana.

The fact that she appeared on the Panshan Highway is a coincidence, and it is impossible to believe it late.

Ran Jin must have heard the inside story and came to save people on purpose, so that on the winding mountain road, he drove the car that was chasing the late encounter down the cliff with high speed and precision.

Those who want to be detrimental to Chi Yu must not let Chi Yu find out the truth, and must want to cover up the inside story of her sister's death, which instead confirms that Zhou Yu's abnormality is related to her sister's death.

But standing on the opposite side and protecting the late encounter Ran Ban, at least in the matter of late encounter life and death, and the people behind the scenes are at odds.

Chi Yu thought about it, and recorded the current doubts and thoughts into the mobile phone one by one.

While typing, she asked Qi Tong: "Didn't you say you were cut by a car before and you sprained your knee? How is it now?"

"It's been a long time." When Qi Tong talked about this, he started drinking water again, and solved it in four words.

Chi Yu looked up at her a little strangely.

Qi Tong's style is too familiar to meet late, a little thing can give you a long story, and she can answer the matter in a short sentence when it is so exciting to be chased and killed by the mastermind behind the scenes?

This succinct way of speaking must have hidden secrets.

Chi Yu was about to ask again, when suddenly there was a ringing of the phone.

Chi Yu: "Your phone is ringing."

Qi Tong wondered: "This is not my phone ringtone."

"The sound from your bag."

When Qi Tong took out his bag, there was really an unfamiliar mobile phone, but the picture of the caller was not unfamiliar at all.

The word "Xiao Jin" was accompanied by Ran Jin's head down and was captured, Qi Tong was shocked, and immediately handed the phone to Chi Yu:

"Your sister-in-law's phone number!"

Chi Yu glanced at him and answered suspiciously, "Hello?"

It was not Ran Jin's voice on the opposite side, and he said fiercely: "Qi, where are you? My phone is in your bag!"

After hearing it late, he returned the phone to Qi Tong and said, "Sure enough, I was looking for you."

Qi Tong took it and listened to it for a while, hurriedly and respectfully said a series of "okay", and finally reported the address of the Chinese restaurant and hung up.

"Who is it?" Chi Yu thought for a while, someone who could have photos of Ran Ban's private room and speak with a smell of fire and medicine, could it be...

"Lucius?"

Seeing Qi Tong's guilty expression, he knew that he had guessed it.

Chi Yu was even more strange: "No, what are you guilty of? How could Lu Sima's cell phone be in your bag?"

The two were talking, but Lu Sima actually killed him so quickly.

Lu Siying and Ran Jin happened to meet on the floor of the restaurant when they were on the phone, and they arrived in two or three steps.

Lu Sima rushed into the restaurant like a gust of wind, and Ran Jin followed behind her and walked in slowly.

"Give me the phone." Lu Sima reached out to Qi Tong.

Qi Tong gave her the phone, but didn't dare to look up.

Late encounter: "?"

What's the matter with the feeling that the state of these two people is a little subtle?

"Go in." Lu Sima took the phone and didn't want to leave, patted Qi Tong's shoulder and motioned her to sit inside.

Qi Tong didn't lift his head, moved his butt, and sat down obediently to the innermost position.

Then Lu Sima sat opposite Chi Yu, side by side with Qi Tong.

Late encounter: "..."

Does this mean we want to eat together?

Lu Sima said, "It's you, the unlucky bastard, who caused me to go into a fire this morning and starve."

After speaking, Lu Sima grabbed a glass of water and drank it violently.

Qi Tong reminded in a low voice, "That's... I drank it."

Lu Sima: "..."

It's dry, and the lip prints are still stacked together.

Chi Yu sat in the middle of the sofa, Ran Jin stood aside, the scene was extremely embarrassing.

When Ran Jin wanted to say goodbye to them and was about to leave the restaurant, Chi Yu and Qi Tong used the same posture without raising their heads, and the same movement of moving their butt, to move Ran Jin into a position.

"……thanks."

The seats were all given up, so Ran Jin had to sit down next to Chi Yu.

In order to ease the inexplicably tense atmosphere, Chi Yu took out Qi Tong, who was shrunk in the corner, and asked her, "Why do you feel weird?"

Qi Tong: "Ah? Where am I to blame? No, you are the only one to blame."

Chi Yu's eyes moved between her and Lu Sima, remembering Qi Tong's previous phone call that she was rescued by a policeman in an accident, and immediately understood.

"The one who saved you was Officer Lu? Do you two have a story?"
