Chapter 107: Beat Him 1 with One Hand
I found that monthly tickets and recommendation tickets are so difficult to get.
Thank you to the children who voted. No matter how old you are, you are still a child.
After all, only children are the happiest! ~
-----------------
Xiao Lan hadn't taken two steps when she saw Lin Rui pulling Lin Yao and talking to her with his head down, walking towards the door.
Mother Xu and Fang Qingqing followed behind him, as if they were seeing someone off.
Seeing that the man seemed to be leaving, Xiao Lan hurried forward and asked, "What's wrong? Is the benefactor leaving?"
When Lin Rui heard Xiao Lan calling him benefactor, he couldn't help but smile, which made Fang Qingqing, who was following beside him, lose her mind.
"Madam, please call me Lin Rui. The word 'benefactor' sounds awkward."
Xiao Lan also chuckled, she also thought that this name was a bit "funny". She nodded, looking up with a smile, "Yes, then I will call you Boss Lin."
"There's no need to use the word 'you', let's just call each other you and me." Lin Rui's few words quietly brought the two of them closer.
"Are you leaving?" Xiao Lan also agreed with his statement. As modern people, they don't have so many formalities like the ancients. The more familiar they are, the closer they seem.
Lin Rui shook his head and glanced down at Lin Yao. "This girl hasn't rested well either. She gets sleepy after playing for a while. I thought of taking her to the inn to rest first, and then come back tonight. Do you think it's a good idea?"
Before Lin Rui could finish his question, the mute uncle at the door called out, "My benefactor! Master and Madam Xiao thank you for sending Master Jiye back home. We invite you to a dinner tonight!"
Lin Rui's attention was attracted by Uncle Ya's voice. He took a look and then gave Xiao Lan a questioning look.
"This is……"
He naturally understood the meaning of the words, but after all, Xiao Lan was Sun Jiye's biological mother, so he had to see what she meant.
Xiao Lan smiled awkwardly, turned around and glared at him. Li Si quickly stood in front of Uncle Ya to block him.
"Sorry, it's better to come here tonight..."
"I'm an outsider, so I can't say much. I just think that if the old man is worried, it's better to go back and see him. It's not inconvenience for me... It's okay to follow the old man's wish and make him happy." Lin Rui's eyes showed some sympathy as he looked at the dumb uncle who was blocked outside.
"Are they Jiye's grandparents? My own grandparents didn't love me this much..." Lin Yao looked up at Lin Rui with a hint of grievance in her eyes.
Xiao Lan seemed to realize something, "It's my grandparents..."
"I don't even have any grandparents." Lin Yao pouted and muttered.
In this case, it seemed that Xiao Lan was being unkind to reject the kindness of the "elderly people in the family" in front of everyone, and she couldn't say that these so-called grandparents were not sincere.
As a modern person who cares a lot about reputation, I was embarrassed for a moment.
"Father, I'm sleepy... Let's come and play with Jiye in the evening." Lin Yao said at the right time. Lin Rui nodded and looked at Xiao Lan.
"Then let's go back and stay at 'Miweixuan'."
Lin Rui's words had a clear implication. He was telling Xiao Lan that if there was any change in the venue for the evening banquet, she could just go to Miweixuan to find him.
Xiao Lan nodded and did not stop the person from leaving. He just said that he would send someone to deliver the invitation in the afternoon.
"Mr. Xiao, this guy is stunningly handsome!" Seeing the man walking away, Fang Qingqing grabbed Xiao Lan's arm and buried her head in his arm, looking like a crazy fan.
Xiao Lan was amused by her appearance, "So handsome, so handsome, and a handsome father!"
"oops……"
Mother Xu said, "Little girl, you can't..."
"what……"
Fang Qingqing didn't want to listen to Mother Xu's nagging, so she shook off Xiao Lan's arm and ran forward. She rushed to Sun Jiye and hugged him in her arms.
"I told you to run again!"
Sun Jiye was startled by Fang Qingqing's fright, but then he felt tickled and burst into laughter in her arms. Xin'er clapped her hands beside him, "Brother, don't run away!"
Xiao Lan knew Fang Qingqing was happy. Being infatuated was one thing, but she was also very happy that Sun Jiye was back. Fang Qingqing said that she didn't care about Sun Jiye, but she was also a person with feelings, so she was sincerely happy that Sun Jiye could return safely.
Liu Hu was still in the room, so Xiao Lan naturally couldn't forget. She had to hurry back to tell him the news so that he wouldn't blame himself anymore. The man hadn't wanted her to leave just now, and even said something like, "Is he going to ignore him when the child comes back..."
Xiao Lan was speechless after hearing this. She naturally couldn't take care of him now that the child was back, but she was also grateful that he had been running around for her for so long.
Although Liu Hu is a bandit, he has some respectable qualities. No matter what his purpose is, he is much better than most men who only talk.
In fact, after Liu Hu helped her several times, she felt that he was not a real "bandit"!
Xiao Lan called Fang Qingqing back and told her to take Sun Jiye to get some rest. He was worried that Jiye was just excited now, and that his experiences outside had probably exhausted his energy. It would be bad if he got sick.
Fang Qingqing agreed. Mother Xu was afraid that she would be careless and fail to take good care of him. After all, Xiaobai and Xiaoqing were still taking care of the business in the cloth shop, so she followed behind to coax Jiye to rest.
Xiao Lan returned to her room. She didn't even bother to ask a question about Liu Hu's bloodstains. It was really unkind of her.
She pushed the door open and went in. Liu Hu was still lying on the bed like before, and he didn't react when she came in. Xiao Lan had just heard Liu Hu say that he was drugged and had struggled to get out, and she was a little worried that he might have fainted.
"Liu Hu?"
Xiao Lan called out softly but no one answered, so she quietly moved over to take a closer look. Unexpectedly, she was pulled into someone's arms. She screamed in surprise and instinctively slapped Liu Hu hard.
Liu Hu was slapped, but when he sat up, he was still smiling. He was not good-looking, and his eyes became slits when he smiled, but because it was a smile from the heart, it was less murderous and more cheerful than usual.
"You are so timid and your strength is so weak. If you are really a bad guy, you won't be able to escape!"
Xiao Lan rolled her eyes at him and asked, "You're not a bad person?" She took a few steps back, kept a safe distance from him, and sat on the stool.
"Who sent this child?" Liu Hu was very curious about who this person was. No matter who it was, it must have been arranged by Liu Yu!
Xiao Lan picked up the teapot on the table and poured herself a glass of water. "This is a merchant from a neighboring country, selling medicinal herbs. It was Sun Jiye who ran out on his own and ran into this caravan. My son has some skills..."
She said this with obvious pride, thinking that Sun Jiye was able to escape in a state of calm and find a way to survive, which was very remarkable. Of course, she was also afraid, but it didn't matter anymore.
Liu Hu listened to her and agreed, "My son is really capable!" But in his heart, he wondered when Liu Yu had intersected with merchants from neighboring countries. Could it be that Sun Jiye had escaped on his own, as Xiao Lan said?
Of course he didn't believe it. It was possible that Liu Yu couldn't restrain himself, but if he couldn't restrain a child, then he would be a garrison commander in vain!
...The suspicious one is this vendor.
Xiao Lan knew he was just trying to take advantage of her, so she didn't care. "No matter what, I have to thank you. You've been running around for me. If you want anything in the future, as long as I, Xiao Lan, can do it, I won't refuse."
"I want you..." Although Liu Hu's mind was in a mess, he could not forget his original intention.
Xiao Lan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Talk about something else."
"I'm not worthy of you?" Liu Hu approached Xiao Lan, squatted down and looked up at him.
Liu Hu had never looked at anyone like this in his life, but now he was squatting in front of Xiao Lan like this.
"It's not a question of whether I'm worthy or not." Xiao Lan helped him up, but he was unwilling. Xiao Lan had no choice but to let him do as he pleased.
"You like the county magistrate?" Liu Hu said harshly, but his eyes seemed to be asking sincerely. Seeing that Xiao Lan didn't express his opinion, he added, "I can beat three of them with one hand!"
