I rely on talking to brush the copy

Early in the morning, Li Shuran's door was knocked.

Editor Yang's voice came from outside the door: "Shuran, are you up?"

Li Shuran ran over to open the door and was surprised to find that in addition to Editor Yang, Director Ji was outside the door.

Noticing Li Shuran's confusion, Ji Qi took the initiative to explain: "I had something to see your brother yesterday, and then it was too late, so I just slept here."

Li Shuran nodded and smiled lightly: "I'm fine, where's your brother? We can set off."

She thought that today would be the same as the previous few days, and Ji Qi would take them around Shanghai.

Unexpectedly, when hearing her ordinary question, the expressions on Ji Qi and Editor Yang's faces were quite subtle. Editor Yang spoke first: "Your brother has some things to deal with, so let us take you out today."

Li Shuran's heart skipped a beat, and she sensitively realized that something was wrong. Having lived under her stepmother's care for many years, she was very good at observing people's words and expressions. Although the two of them had tried their best to cover it up, she still noticed that something was wrong.

She stared at the expressions of the two men and asked tentatively: "Brother...what happened?"

Yang Jinglun subconsciously turned his eyes away, his expression a little unnatural for a moment: "Nothing, just his work...you know, writers, inspiration comes and it can't be stopped."

Ji Qi continued: "That's right, so your brother doesn't let us disturb him, this time it's just the three of us going out to play." He smiled and asked: "Where do you want to go today?"

The girl was silent for a while, and her innocent face showed maturity and calmness beyond her age: "You don't have to hide it from me, did something happen to my brother?"

Ji Qi put away the smile at the corner of his mouth, and was also silent for a while, saying: "Jingran asked me not to tell you, I don't know whether I should tell you."

Li Shuran looked up and looked at him seriously: "I want to know, no matter what it is, I want to share it with my brother."

Yang Jinglun glanced at Ji Qi, Ji Qi understood the warning in his eyes, but he didn't have the strong desire to protect like Yang Jinglun.

For him, the friend he admitted was Li Jingran. He would take better care of his sister for Li Jingran's sake, but in his heart, Li Jingran was the most important. In this situation, he really didn't care about the blow this incident would cause to Li Shuran.

Li Jingran was vague and didn't say what the situation was. He just said that he would solve it and told them not to worry.

How could he not worry? !

Li Shuran was a good breakthrough at the moment. He would definitely know about Li Jingran's past from her. Only by knowing this could he know how to fight back and how to help Li Jingran wash away his stigma.

That's right, he didn't believe a word of what was published in the newspaper!

What kind of person is Li Jingran? He has eyes and knows better than anyone! The boy's eyes were full of lion-like anger. People with such eyes would never be as unbearable as described in the newspaper.

So regardless of Yang Jinglun's warning, Ji Qi told Li Shuran everything that happened in the past few days.

Li Shuran finally saw the article published in the newspaper. Her face turned pale and her hands were shaking so much that she could hardly hold the newspaper.

Unlike Yang Jinglun and Ji Qi, she knew about her brother's past absurdities, so she understood the lethality of this report even more.

Of course, she knew that her brother was acting in the past, but others didn't know!

"My brother is not that kind of person!" She suddenly raised her head and grabbed Ji Qi's arm tightly, with hopeful eyes wandering on Ji Qi and Yang Jinglun's faces, "You won't believe it, right?"

Ji Qi patted her shoulder soothingly, "Of course we won't believe it, but you have to tell us what's going on, so that we can help your brother."

Yang Jinglun smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Li said that some of what was written in the newspaper was true and some was false. Shuran, you must know the truth, right?"

Finding that the two did not misunderstand her brother, Li Shuran was relieved and calmed down a little. She pursed her lips and told them about her experiences over the years.

Ji Qi, who was calm and experienced, also changed his face several times when he heard Li Shuran's story.

He knew that Li Jingran was extraordinary. As early as the first time he met him, he knew that this boy was not an ordinary person. He was also curious about what kind of family raised such a brilliant son.

But he didn't expect that his friend had such a rough past!

His biological mother was forced to death by his stepmother, and his biological father was confused. In such a dangerous environment, the young Li Jingran could only choose to defile himself to let his stepmother let down his guard against him, so that the brother and sister could live in peace.

Now he finally understood what Li Jingran meant by "sleeping on straw and tasting gall, enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens to complete filial piety can only defile himself and clear his innocence."

How old was Li Jingran at that time? A child who was only six or seven years old was actually so smart! This tenacious mind is not even as good as many adults! Ask yourself, if you put yourself in his place, he can't do as well as Li Jingran.

When he heard from Li Shuran that his stepmother had sent opium to Li Jingran, who was trying to quit smoking, he became furious and said, "What a vicious woman!"

Yang Jinglun also said, "Your father is so foolish to favor his concubine over his wife and to allow his stepwife to mistreat his legitimate son! In my opinion, the Li family will fall into ruin within three generations!"

Li Shuran nodded, with no trace of respect for her biological father on her face: "For a villain like him to have a son like my brother, it is true to the old saying: bad bamboo produces good bamboo shoots."

Yang Jinglun said anxiously: "What happened next? How did your brother deal with it later? He couldn't really stop smoking, right?"

Li Shuran shook her head and said with a smile: "My brother threw the opium out directly, and then took me to join my uncle. After I quit smoking with my uncle, my brother began to submit articles to magazines, and then we used my brother's royalties to come to Peking." ”

Ji Qi nodded approvingly: "You are worthy of Li Jingran for acting so decisively."

Li Shuran frowned slightly, her eyes filled with sadness: "I know what a good person my brother is, but everyone doesn't know. Even I was deceived by my brother's self-destruction in those years. If my brother hadn't explained all this to my uncle later, , I will still regard my brother’s ridiculous things in the past as true.”

Ji Qi glanced at Yang Jinglun and said, "I have a guess."

Yang Jinglun hesitated: "I also have a guess."

Ji Qi smiled and said, "Then let's talk together and see if we can think of something together."

The next moment, two voices sounded at the same time.

"I guess the Li family did this."

"This article has nothing to do with the Li family."

Li Shuran was stunned, her heart was shocked, and her face was as white as snow: "It's them, why are they..."

Ji Qi explained: "The things described in this article are too detailed. At a glance, you can tell that it was written by someone who has a deep understanding of the Li family's affairs. And according to what you said, the person who has a grudge against your brother, The only people who have the motive to target your brother are members of your family."

Yang Jinglun couldn't bear to see the little girl in a daze. Just when he was about to comfort her, he saw the little girl suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with a trace of hatred: "We all hid in Peiping, but they still haven't Let us go!"

She stood up suddenly and rushed towards the door, but Ji Qi held her back: "Where are you going?"

Li Shuran turned back with a look that frightened him, "I'm going to the newspaper to be interviewed as Li Jingran's sister." She curved her lips and showed a cold smile: "Didn't that person say that my brother has no regard for human ethics and is unfilial and unfaithful? ? Then I will sue my parents even if I don’t want to lose my reputation!”

"I want to expose all their sinister and shameful things! Let their whole family become the laughing stock of Quan Fengtian!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall fell silent.

Yang Jinglun looked at her as if seeing Li Shuran for the first time. He never thought that this little girl who was always quiet and weak could be so strong in her bones.

Ji Qi was also stunned for a moment, and it was only then that Li Shuran's figure finally appeared in his eyes. He laughed and said, "I made a mistake. Also, how could Li Jingran's sister be an ordinary person."

"Think carefully. It is a serious crime of unfilial piety for a girl to accuse her parents. No matter how wrong your parents are, they are still your parents. In the eyes of some old scholars, your parents should be beaten to death." Ji Qi sneered: "What are you doing? Sue, your reputation will be ruined for the rest of your life, and you will probably never be able to get married."

"So what?" Li Shuran raised her head and replied: "If it hadn't been for my brother, I might have been beaten to death by the wealthy businessman promised by my stepmother. How could I have studied and gone to school as well as I do now? That's me now It’s time to repay my brother! If I really can’t get married because of this, it will be convenient for me to study!”

Yang Jinglun looked at the girl who was as strong and unyielding as a fighter, and was moved by her defense of her brother.

He is a good boy who knows how to repay kindness.

He smiled reassuringly, "Don't be impatient. If you rush out hastily, you may disrupt your brother's arrangements."

Ji Qi also said: "You will come with us to find Li Jingran later!" He sneered: "My sister has given up her reputation for him. It's time for him to tell his plans, right?"

…

…

Le Jing was writing an article when Ji Qi and the others knocked on the door.

Since receiving the telegram from Literary Gazette that day, he began to prepare this article. According to the current progress, he will probably finish this article in two more days.

As soon as this article came out and Li Tingfang, the leader of the Li clan, spoke, he believed that the turmoil could be settled quickly.

He kept writing: "Come in."

Ji Qi and Yang Jinglun led Li Shuran in.

The little girl shouted with a cry: "Brother~"

Le Jing put down his pen with a clear understanding, and turned around helplessly: "You still told her."

Ji Qi said with a smile: "After all, Li Shuran is a party involved in this matter, and she always has the right to know."

He paused, and then told Le Jing the little girl's plan in full, with a threatening look in his eyes: "Look how anxious your sister is? If you don't tell her your plan, your sister will be ruined for the rest of her life." Don’t even want the reputation!”

Le Jing glanced at Li Shuran in surprise, and smiled when he saw the lonely courage in her eyes. He touched the little girl's head and asked: "You said, you are the one who took action on your own and fought with them to the death." , or let others fight with them, and we just want to watch the show? "

"...Of course there is a solution later."

Le Jing patted her head: "She's not that stupid." He glanced at Ji Qi, who seemed to be enlightened, and Yang Jinglun, who was confused, and said lightly: "I only need to use my The article serves as a response, and the rest will be argued and endorsed by the Li family.”

"My father, Li Tingye, is just a bastard of a branch family. The head of the Li family is my uncle, Li Tingfang. Our Li family has begun to lack successors by my generation, and the younger generation has not made any name for themselves. Compared with my mediocre father and stepbrother, I, a promising future star, am more worthy of their bet."

The young man smiled slightly and said firmly: "So there is no need for me to take action in this matter. The Li family wants to solve this matter more than anyone else. Because I represent the reputation and future of the Li family. I have already sent a telegram to my uncle, and I believe it won't take long. This matter will be resolved soon."

Ji Qi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. There are finally some sensible people in your family."

"Not good. If the Li family is involved, this matter is likely to be raised high and then dropped lightly." The young man smiled sarcastically: "After all, there are always some people who don't want to hurt the harmony."

He tilted his head and glanced at the manuscript on the desk, his eyes flashing with interest and smile: "So, I need to write this article."

The author has something to say:

For Le Jing's new article, I plan to use the style of Dazai Osamu's "No Longer Human", and I hope I can write that feeling.
