Luan Ran x Xi Shangchen
On the weekend, it was rare that neither of them had to work overtime or have any social events, so they discussed going to see Grandpa Xi.
After they went there, they found out that Grandpa Xi was in a bad mood. After hesitating for a long time, he said to Xi Shangchen: "Your second uncle asked me for that house."
Xi Shangchen's face changed: "Has he been here?"
"No, he called."
When Xi Shangchen heard that he had never come, his face became even worse. He was thinking about the old man's house, but he had never visited the old man for so many years, let alone fulfill his filial piety. How could he have the nerve to ask for a house? They were from the same family, received the same education, and grew up in the same environment. His father was admitted to university and became successful, and he also moved to the capital, but his second uncle was a gangster who had never done a good job in his life.
Luan Ran had heard about his family's affairs. It was Xi Shangchen's father who made a fortune and founded Guanghao with a group of partners. When he made money, he brought his relatives from his hometown over.
When his parents died, according to the law, he and his grandfather were the first heirs, but his uncle was a liar. He coaxed the old man around and swore to take care of him until his death, raise Xi Shangchen, and give him the property when he came of age.
The old man could not read a few words, and did not understand companies and real estate. Naturally, he would think about his support for the rest of his life. He believed his youngest son's words, but he turned his face and did not support the old man at all, and directly took all the family property.
Perhaps because he owed something, Grandpa Xi felt guilty and loved his grandson Xi Shangchen very much. He paid for his studies, so the relationship was so good.
"I will definitely not give him the house, even if I donate it, I won't give it to that beast, don't worry." Grandpa Xi had missed it once. The house was bought for the old man when Xi Shangchen's father was alive, and it was the only one that did not fall into the hands of his second uncle. Otherwise, how could he raise a child without a place to live?
Xi Shangchen didn't care about a house. Today, his net worth is countless times higher than before. He was worried that it would affect the old man's health. He already had high blood pressure and couldn't stand being bullied.
Luan Ran usually liked to bring a bunch of flowers. She took out the flowers, waved them in front of Grandpa Xi, and smiled sweetly, "Grandpa, don't think about those bad things. Let's look at the flowers and play games. Leave the rest to Xi Shangchen. He is very capable now."
In fact, Luan Ran didn't like to laugh much. She was not like Luan Yan, who had a strong mood for artistic creation, but she looked very gentle when she laughed.
Xi Shangchen also laughed, tapped her little head and said, "No matter how capable I am, I have to act according to Miss Luan's face. Miss Luan told me to go east, and I dare not go west." The title
is just a pronoun. What's more important is the atmosphere between the two. The old man didn't think it was wrong for them to talk like this. After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that pink bubbles were coming out of the two of them.
Luan Ran said this to reassure Grandpa Xi. The old man knew that his grandson was capable and would not be bullied in the future. He didn't have much time left, and knowing that his grandson could live well, he would have nothing to worry about when he was gone, so he was naturally smiling.
The two chatted with their grandfather, and after a while a doctor came to check on the ward. After the check, Xi Shangchen followed the doctor out of the ward and asked a few questions about Grandpa's recent physical condition. Only
Luan Ran and Grandpa Xi were left in the ward.
Luan Ran took a pomelo and peeled it. The old man looked at the door and said, "Little girl, I'll transfer the house to your name."
The hand that was peeling the pomelo paused. Give her the old house? Luan Ran was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said: "Grandpa, how can this be done? After all, I haven't married Xi Shangchen yet. In name, I am just his fiancée. If you want to handle it properly, just transfer it to his name."
Grandpa Xi shook his head and waved his hands: "Marriage is a matter of time. Whatever my grandson decides is what it is. I know that you have a good family background and you don't need this house from me, but I like you and want to give you something. Our ancestors were poor and there is no treasure to pass on to our daughter-in-law. We just have an old house. Just think of this as a meeting gift from grandpa and a change of name fee."
"Then..." Luan Ran was thinking, this should be told to Xi Shangchen.
He has lived for more than 80 years; he has lived enough, and his life should come to an end. There are still people who are filial to him by his bedside, and his life is worth it. The last posthumous affairs should be handled in advance to avoid troubling the younger generation.
Grandpa Xi smiled lovingly and said, "I'll leave Ah Chen to you from now on. He likes you. He liked you the first time you two came to my place."
The first time...
...
After leaving the hospital, Luan Ran noticed that Xi Shangchen was not in a good mood. The two did not get in the car. She accompanied him to walk a few steps on the street, along the streets with falling leaves, the wet ground, the autumn wind blowing inadvertently, and the people rushing by.
"Did the doctor tell you bad news?" Luan Ran asked.
"Yes."
The old man has a leg disease, which gets more serious as he gets older. Now he can't get out of bed. His organs are failing, he has basic diseases such as high blood pressure, and he has also undergone heart surgery. He lives in the hospital to save his life. Compared with those old people who can't even speak, Grandpa Xi's body is considered strong, but everyone will die one day, and the old man's current situation is not good.
Luan Ran stood on tiptoe and took the initiative to hug him, holding him tightly, letting his head bury in her neck and absorb the energy from her. She touched Xi Shangchen's back and said, "Let's spend more time with him these days. At least let the old man be happy before he leaves, so there will be no regrets. Don't be sad, you still have me."
Luan Ran said exactly what he thought. In fact, Xi Shangchen had been mentally prepared since his grandfather was admitted to the hospital. When his parents suddenly passed away, he understood that sooner or later there would be a day to say goodbye to his relatives. The key is whether he can say goodbye properly and leave no regrets. Xi Shangchen was just a little sad. It was his grandfather who brought him up these years. The grandfather and the grandson depended on each other and their feelings were different from others.
Fortunately, there was Luan Ran, and there was someone who could stand by him through thick and thin. From Luan Ran, he could get a sense of strength, which was something that no one else had, and was more important than all external conditions.
"Is Grandpa going to transfer the house to you?"
"How do you know? You and your grandpa are very close."
The old man didn't have much to worry about in this life, but he was a little worried about his second uncle. According to his grandfather's idea, he would definitely deal with the house and not give his second uncle any chance to take advantage of it, let alone let his second uncle inherit the property legitimately. Grandpa liked Luan Ran, his granddaughter-in-law, and told him several times that Luan Ran was so good, and it was likely that he would give it to her.
Xi Shangchen had no objection. He had lived in that house for many years after his parents passed away. That house was not only money, but also his memories. It had a different meaning. He was quite relieved to hand it over to Luan Ran.
"Just take it if grandpa gives it to you. Just do as he pleases."
The old man's requests must be met, so Luan Ran didn't refuse in the end. She tilted her head and said coquettishly, "Let me make it clear first, I will not return this house to you. Grandpa gave it to me and it is mine. Don't even think about taking it back from me."
"It belongs to you." Xi Shangchen smiled. Because of her, his depressed mood was swept away. He stood up, scratched her little nose, and said gently, "Just belong to me."
"You wish! Grandpa said that you had bad intentions towards me the first time you brought me to see him. It seems to be true."
At that time, Xi Shangchen himself didn't know what kind of feelings he had for Luan Ran, but his grandfather understood him and saw it at a glance. In the past, Xi Shangchen felt that he was at a disadvantage because he fell in love too early, and his Miss Luan was slow to realize it, and was cold to him from time to time, and even avoided him like a snake and scorpion, which made him very frustrated. He once thought it was his own problem. Now thinking back...
the reason why she avoided him was actually a manifestation of her falling in love with him.
"It's true, Miss Luan, I have always had bad intentions towards you." Xi Shangchen smiled warmly, took her hand, clasped his fingers together, and said quite righteously: "But unfortunately, you still have to go home with me."
Go back to their home.
No matter at the beginning, only the future.
Maybe it's not pure enough at the beginning, but in the end, it can still be spotless.
