On the scheduled follow-up date.

Early in the morning, Tang Ran was invited to the main house by the family servant, saying that the old lady had something to tell her.

Tang Ran was led into the main hall by the servant. Before she could sit down, she heard the old lady’s calm voice in the hall.

“Today I’m asking you to go out with Luo Zhan and Luoqian. Do you know what to do?”

Tang Ran was stunned for a few seconds and shook her head.

Mrs. Hang frowned unhappily: “You know what Luo Zhan’s identity is. You have been in our house for so long, and you should have heard from the servants that he will marry Luoqian in the future – in other words, he is your future brother-in-law. In this kind of relationship, you must know how to avoid suspicion with him.”

“…”

“When you go out with them today, remember to stay away from them. Don’t bother Luo Zhan with anything, and don’t delay their time together. If you really can’t, find an excuse to have someone send you back early – it will leave a good impression on your sister, and it won’t do you any harm in the future.”

“…”

Tang Ran pursed her lips. Even though she wanted to refute a lot in her heart, she didn’t say anything in the end.

The little girl lowered her head and said nothing.

Mrs. Hang saw it and frowned even more: “When the elders talk to you, you should at least say something. This is polite and evidence of a good upbringing!”

Tang Ran was startled by the old lady’s sudden increase in voice.

Coming back to her senses, she clenched her fingers and whispered, “I’m sorry, I was poorly educated.”

“!”

The old lady frowned.

She never thought that this seemingly quiet little girl would dare to talk to her like this.

She wanted to say something else, but a servant had already hurried into the main hall and bowed to say in her ear: “Young Master Luo’s companions have arrived at the main gate first. Let Luoqian and the others prepare to leave.”

Mrs. Hang frowned when she heard this: “Luo Zhan is not there?”

Servant: “The two companions said that Luo Zhan is coming from his home alone and did not travel with them. He should be here soon.”

“…Yes. Go upstairs and urge Luoqian to come down when she is ready.”

“OK.”

A quarter of an hour later.

Tang Luoqian, who had changed into several dresses upstairs but was still not satisfied with any of them, finally came downstairs late.

She secretly glared at Tang Ran with a bad look, then compared the two people’s attire in her mind. Then only she was satisfied and walked out with her head held high.

Tang Ran followed behind holding a blind stick and was almost left behind several times by Tang Luoqian and the servants in front who were walking at a fast pace.

In this way, they walked out of the main house, passed the front yard, and arrived at the main gate.

Before Tang Ran could even stop walking, she heard the familiar laughter of the store manager——

“Sister Tang, you look so beautiful today!”

Tang Ran paused.

Tang Luoqian, who was walking in front, had already seen clearly that it was Tan Yunchang who had embarrassed them at the doorstep before, so she originally wanted to keep a straight face and pretend not to see him.

Hearing this, she suppressed her pride and raised her chin slightly: “We are not familiar with each other, who is your Sister Tang——”

Before she could finish her words, Tan Yunchang had already walked past her.

Without looking around, he went straight to the little girl behind her.

“…”

Tang Luoqian, who was standing there, suddenly froze in expression.

When Tan Yunchang stopped beside Tang Ran, he turned around as if he had just realized something and glanced at Tang Luoqian’s back.

He asked Tang Ran: “Sister Tang, did anyone talk to me just now?”

Tang Ran could guess the innocent look on the store manager’s face just by listening.

She lowered her head and held back her laughter.

Tan Yunchang shrugged: “It seems to be an illusion – OK, let’s wait outside. Luo Zhan should be here soon.”

“Good.”

Tang Ran held the blind stick and walked out carefully.

Tang Luoqian stood still. The more she thought about Tan Yunchang’s words and her response, the more angry and ashamed she felt. Her face turned pale, red, and blue by turns.

If it was a situation organized by outsiders, Tang Luoqian would have lost her temper and walked away. But thinking that this was Luo Zhan’s friend, she could only grit her teeth and bear it, and follow him out.

After waiting for a while, the sound of a car engine came from a distance.

Tang Ran was the first to hear it, and sensitively turned towards the source of the sound. Then Lin Qianhua seemed to see something, and in surprise he nudged Tan Yunchang who was waiting beside the car.

“Senior, Brother Zhan has a new car.”

Tan Yunchang looked up and stared at it for a few seconds: “F**k, it really is, this is the latest generation supercar that we talked about in the lab a while ago, right?”

Lin Qianhua: “It seems so.”

As he spoke, the brand new supercar with excellent performance quickly braked and stopped outside the main gate of the Tang family.

The door on the driver’s side opened like a wing.

A young man with long legs, wearing sunglasses and a polo shirt, lazily got out of the car and walked over.

Tan Yunchang sighed with emotion: “Sure enough, the real car is more handsome, paired with our ancestor’s evil face, it’s absolutely amazing…”

Lin Qianhua nodded in agreement: “It is absolutely amazing.”

“…”

Even Tang Luoqian next to them had come out of her previous anger. Her face flushed and she tried to pretend that she didn’t care, but she couldn’t help but look at the man walking towards them.

Only Tang Ran couldn’t see it and could only feel curious and itchy inside.

While the familiar footsteps were getting closer and closer.

“It’s not right.”

Tan Yunchang suddenly remembered something and raised his voice.

“When we were talking in the lab a while ago, what was the characteristic of this car that people commented on online?”

Lin Qianhua hesitated for a moment and whispered, “The heart-shaped passenger seat is for one person only. It’s a must-have for picking up girls.”

“…”

Tang Luoqian beside them looked delighted.

Tan Yunchang: “Yes, yes, yes, at that time I even asked Luo Zhan if he wanted to buy one for everyone to feast their eyes on – he was very disdainful at that time, what did he say?”

Lin Qianhua recalled.

A few seconds later, he imitated Luo Zhan’s tone and snorted coldly:

“Shallow.”

Luo Zhan, who happened to stop in front of them at this time: “…”

Tan Yunchang turned his face away and said, “Grandpa, why did you suddenly change the car? Wasn’t the red one pretty good?”

Luo Zhan twitched his eyelids and said lazily, “The color is too sexy.”

Tan Yunchang shook his head: “Tsk tsk tsk tsk, not long ago someone said that the online reviews of this car were too superficial, but when it came time to change cars, they immediately changed to this one. I think some people are more than superficial, they simply carry double standards to the end——”

Before he could finish his words, Luo Zhan glanced at him lazily: “Are you still not leaving?”

Tan Yunchang laughed, “Why are you so anxious, ancestor? You are embarrassed now. Are you afraid that I will expose your shortcomings in front of the little girl?”

There was a pause for a few seconds.

Luo Zhan pulled the corner of his mouth, and the smile he raised was cold and lazy, and also revealed an inexplicable desire——

“What are you exposing? Don’t I have strengths everywhere?”

Several people went silent.

After a while, Tan Yunchang gritted his teeth and said, “Why the hell are you changing your car? Is the car as sexy as you?”

“…”

Lin Qianhua nodded in agreement.

Among the crowd, only Tang Ran looked up.

The girl’s beautiful face showed a puzzled expression –

What’s long? What’s sexy?
