Chapter 80 The Lantern Festival

Cao Yiran didn't intend to make things so extreme at first, but just like opening a small hole in a rock, the hole will expand uncontrollably, so the situation will also expand uncontrollably.

Speaking of it, Cao Yiran felt that he had really done nothing, he hadn't even shown any face, so that when the matter developed to the end, almost no one knew that he was behind the scenes.

He just gave these secrets to a secretary of Li Yaomin, and asked him to submit evidence to the procuratorate, and this secretary is just because the child in the family needs an operation and needs a lot of money. Divorced, and Li Yaomin was really not a friendly boss. He often beat and scolded the only male secretary like his wife and daughter, forcing him to be full of resentment, but he dared not resign because of the salary.

Cao Yiran waited for so long before attacking Mrs. Li, but he was just waiting to send the secretary's son abroad for treatment, along with his wife, and gave him a large sum of money. Of course, Cao Yiran himself I was afraid that my family would find out about this money, so I borrowed it from Zhou Yan first, and then promised him that the report would be successful, and then sent him out to reunite with his family.

And contacting this secretary was not done by him, but by Zhou Yan indirectly. He used both soft and hard tactics to this secretary, coaxing and showing off his weapons, so that he would never dare to speak back.

Zhou Yan was actually a little puzzled by Cao Yiran's cautiousness. When asked about him, he was also vague, saying that he didn't want others to know that he did it.

On Baishu's side, after handing in his resignation, a turbulent wave was set off in their bureau. The boss was very reluctant to part with him, and his colleagues, especially his subordinates, all didn't understand his decision, and there was a big man pulling him Don't let him go.

Bai Shu couldn't give any other reasons, he only said that his mother was not in good health, and she wanted to resign by herself, but there was no other way.

His subordinates all knew about Mrs. Bai's health. After all, when she was hospitalized, they went there by mistake to visit her.

However, most of them were still unwilling to accept Bai Shu's resignation, and many of them were very upset, and even led the other two to consider resigning because their wife divorced him after arguing that he continued to work as a criminal police officer.

Bai Shu felt that he had made a bad start, but there was nothing he could do.

During the Spring Festival, which was the busiest time in the Bureau, although Bai Shu had handed in his resignation letter, it had not yet been approved, and there were quite a lot of procedures, so it might take a long time for it to be approved. Of course, he could not Being lazy, continuing to go to work, and being too busy to close your eyes to sleep is seldom. At this time, the contact with Cao Yiran is less, and I only call to say hello when I have free time, that's all.

The Spring Festival is over soon. On the day of Lantern Festival, Zhao Zhen took her daughter Zhao Chang back to her parents’ house to celebrate. Cao Yiran stayed with Li Xin at her grandparents’ house for the entire Spring Festival. However, Zhao Yue and her husband were still busy and had a meal. There was no time for dinner. When Zhao Zhen and Zhao Chang entered the room, they heard the old lady complaining that Zhao Yue was just busy and only came back on the ninth day of the ninth day. She didn't speak, and Li Xin was playing a handheld game console on the sofa in the far corner. She didn't like to talk to the old lady very much.As for playing handheld game consoles, the doctor certainly wouldn't let her play them, but Cao Yiran saw that she was really bored and pitiful, so he found a handheld game console for her, and then limited it to a total of one hour a day, so the doctor finally had no choice but to play. Compromised.

The old lady’s complaints lasted for a long time. Zhao Zhen became the target of bombing after she came. Grandma is better.

When the two went out, Li Xin, who was sitting in the corner, slightly raised his head to look at the two of them. This was not the first time for Li Xin to see Zhao Chang. He had met her a few days ago. Zhao Chang was not affectionate to her, but friendly. Therefore, she is also unwilling to have more contact with this girl who is about her own age, because she always feels a little uncomfortable when she sees her high-spirited, lively and unrestrained, while she has a big belly.

From where she was sitting, she could see outside the window, which happened to be the front yard. There were two big plum trees in the yard. She saw that Zhao Chang ordered Cao Yiran to fold tall plum blossom branches for her. Li Xin thought that Cao Yiran would reject Zhao Chang, but unexpectedly Cao Yiran jumped up and broke off the plum blossom branch. The old servant and aunt at home saw it and said angrily. Walking over to talk about the two, Zhao Chang took the servant's aunt's arm, talking and laughing, but asked Cao Yiran to pick another flower.

Li Xin sat there, stopped playing the game, was fascinated by the sight, and wondered what it meant to live here, Cao Yiran didn't even treat him one-tenth as well as his cousin.

Everyone just treats her as a guest, and it's because of the child in her belly that they treat her as a guest.

She began to miss home, although that home was always deserted and deserted. When she was a child, her parents always quarreled and fought, and no one cared about her. Sometimes there was no one at home, and the nanny was lazy. After death, with a stepmother, the family still looks like a family. At least the servants never dare to be lazy, and there are hot meals every meal. If she doesn't go to school, the stepmother will complain in front of her father, and she will be beaten Being scolded, thinking about it now, it’s okay to be beaten and scolded, after all, it’s still a family, and there’s a younger sister who always likes to ask for her things, and won’t return her if it’s broken, and cry if she doesn’t give it to her. I used to be so annoying , now it seems nothing...

But now, the family is gone, my father is in prison, my stepmother is gone, my sister found out, and she is raised by my aunt.

She thought of her aunt's house again. The relationship between her aunt's house and hers was not good at all, even bad. The most important thing was her parents' fault. Now, it was their family who raised her younger sister, so it seemed that the real relatives were much more reliable.

Li Xin was in a daze, when suddenly a flower came in front of her, with the tangy plum blossom fragrance.

Li Xin raised her head in surprise, it was actually Cao Yiran standing beside the sofa, handing her the flowers expressionlessly, and said, "Don't sit here all the time, get up and walk."

Li Xin froze for a moment, turned off the game silently, and then stood up, because the sofa was too soft, she had a big belly, and it was quite difficult to stand up, Cao Yiran reached out to help her, although he had no expression on his face, But the eyes are soft.

He saw Li Xin's heart beating wildly, and even the child in her belly seemed to feel the change in her mood, and it took several movements before she gave birth.

Cao Yiran held her arm, she always knew that Cao Yiran's palm was cold, but at this moment she always felt that Cao Yiran's hand was hot, and it burned her arm through layers of clothes.

She thought, maybe Cao Yiran was better to her almost, why should he be nice to her at this moment.

Li Xin was supported by Cao Yiran to go out. At the door, Cao Yiran asked a young nanny to bring Li Xin's hat and scarf. He just put the hat on Li Xin's head, but the scarf let her It is, but Li Xin still has a kind of uncontrollable happiness, so happy that he is uneasy.

Zhao Chang stood under the plum blossom tree in the front yard. She only had a faint smile on her face, but she looked kind. She was tall and handsome, cold but confident. In the sunshine, Li Xin really felt ashamed.

Seeing her come out, Zhao Chang just came over to say hello, and then said with a smile, "I won't disturb you." Then he walked away, which surprised Li Xin.

Cao Yiran just glanced at her sideways, didn't say anything, his expression was also indifferent, but his long phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.

At this time, Li Xin felt that Zhao Chang and Cao Yiran were somewhat similar.

Slowly strolling from the front yard to the back yard, Cao Yiran followed Li Xin's pace and walked very slowly. Li Xin held the plum blossom that Cao Yiran gave her in his hand, and brushed the plum petals on it with his fingers, not wanting to deceive himself anymore, asked "You don't really like me at all, do you?"

Cao Yiran really didn't expect her to say this, he was taken aback for a moment, reached out to touch the branch on the side of the road, and said, "I don't want to lie to you. I really didn't like you before, I don't Remember the first time we met and slept, you were like a stranger to me, but this stranger came to my mother and me with an unpleasant family and said she had my baby and held me accountable .I don’t think anyone will like this woman when they encounter this.”

What Cao Yiran said was really merciless, but Li Xin has experienced so many things, and she has matured even if she doesn't want to mature. This is not the first time when she was in Zhao Yue's office. Yiran lost his temper when he said this, and he didn't want to hide his embarrassment by acting like a spoiled child, but just smiled calmly and said, "Yeah..."

Cao Yiran could see the bitterness in Li Xin's eyes. Seeing that she was stroking the flower branch, she didn't seem to lose her temper, so he continued, "However, after being together for so long, you are not particularly annoying. I hate you as much as I did at the beginning. To be honest, if it weren’t for the relationship we have now, I would consider you a righteous sister. Don’t think too much, I really don’t have love for you, but it’s not that I don’t like you."

Cao Yiran's words made Li Xin's fingers caressing Meihua pause for a moment, and then she smiled, but there seemed to be tears in her eyes, and her eyes were as crystal as jewels in the sunlight.

At dinner, there was a large table full of people, and it was very lively, but Cao Yiran felt it was strange that Zhang Huan was not there. After asking Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen said, "He ate with us for New Year's Eve dinner, and he will return to him on Lantern Festival." My aunt went to her house. Why, you still asked about him?"

Cao Yiran said, "Uncle, what you say is as if I can't care about him."

Zhao Zhen said, "That's not true, I just don't know why you two are so close, you usually keep in touch?"

Cao Yiran smiled, "No way?"

Zhao Zhen saw that Cao Yiran was playing Tai Chi with him, so he didn't want to be poor with him. He just asked him to come to the study after dinner, and the two of them talked about something.

Cao Yiran knew it would be like this, so he nodded with a smile.

As a pregnant woman, Li Xin couldn't eat a lot of things. Seeing that she had so many taboos, Cao Yiran gave her two chopsticks of the badly stewed pig's trotters that she always liked, and silently put them into her bowl. Li Xin turned to him Looking at it, he turned his face away, pretending that what happened just now was not his doing.

But Zhao Chang didn't let him go, saying, "Brother also knows how to feel sorry for others?"

Cao Yiran was so stern at what she said, he stood up and got food for everyone on the table, and finally put food for Zhao Chang, saying, "Is there nothing to say now?"

Everyone was smiling, and Li Xin was also smiling, as if shy and melancholy.
