"Brother Cen Mo, I was just saying it casually!" Lin Ran felt a little awkward. "I was only talking about the life of a second-generation rich kid in my imagination, not that I want to live that kind of life!"
"Accept it, Lin Ran. I'm compensating you on behalf of Dad and Mom!"
Lin Ran knew that the 'Dad and Mom' Cen Mo was referring to the Lu family's parents, and her eyes reddened for some reason …
She recalled how in the past, in the Lu family's small run-down house, Lin Ran would scream and scream that she hated such a poor life. That tall and big man would always squat down and look her in the eye, saying apologetically that when life got better in the future … he would definitely fulfill all of Lin Ran's wishes!
But that man returned Lin Ran to the Lin family and left without fulfilling her wishes. So now, his son … was here to fulfill this promise for him?
She pursed her lips and didn't say a word. Cen Mo's deep and magnetic voice rang out from the other end of the line. "This … Dad and Mom owe you! And you deserve it! "
Lin Ran frowned and lowered her head to look at her toes that were outlined by the sunlight. She bit her lip and couldn't hold back her tears. After a long while, she let out a long exhale. Afraid that her stuffy nose would expose her current emotions, she gave a simple "Mm" and handed the phone back to Saihand, nimbly signing her name on the back of the document.
Saihand smiled at Lin Ran's signature and made a call. Then, the two black doors of the Lin family's mansion opened, and two trucks drove in.
Lin Ran frowned and asked, "What's that?"
"Those are the classic bags from a few major bag brands and the bags that are trending these two years. My madam said that girls like bags, and there's nothing that bags can't solve. There are also the spring fashions from various major brands this year. I hope Miss Lin will like them!"
Lin Ran felt a little dazzled under the sunlight. She watched as the two trucks stopped at the entrance of the Lin family's mansion, and the staff members wearing gloves carefully delivered those expensive bags and fashions to the Lin family's mansion one by one.
Liang Mulan clearly already knew what was going on and didn't ask further. She only asked the servants to bring the staff members to Lin Ran's room.
Lin Ran seemed to have obtained what every girl wanted. She remembered when she was in the romance novels she watched in high school, when they saw the male lead giving the female lead everything she wanted, they would always say enviously that they also wished to have such a Prince Charming.
But now, Lin Ran had indeed obtained everything she wanted when she was young, just like the female lead in the novel. However, all of this was given to her by her brother who wasn't related by blood!
This feeling, how should she put it … was very strange and very warm. It was so warm that all the things that Lin Ran had experienced in the past years that she hated and had put her in a difficult position had all become good.
After Saihand and the staff left, Lin Ran stood in her room, lost in thought as she stared at the dazzling bags and fashions in front of her. Liang Mulan knocked on the door with a coffee cup in hand, then walked in …
"As a brother, Cen Mo is much more qualified than Little Chen!" Liang Mulan stood next to Lin Ran. Looking at the room full of branded bags and clothes, her gaze was filled with warmth. "Cen Mo … is a really good kid. It's just that what happened to him makes one's heart ache. Xiao Ran, in the future, you must treat Cen Mo like an older brother, understand?"
Given Lin Ran's current ability, it wasn't that she couldn't afford it. Moreover, the Lin family had already given Lin Ran more money. If it were anyone else buying these things for Lin Ran, Lin Ran and Liang Mulan wouldn't be so touched.
But for someone like Cen Mo … who had gone through that kind of experience when he was young, it was truly rare and precious for him to have such a doting heart for others.
"Mm, I got it, Mom!" Lin Ran held Liang Mulan's arm and nodded, then asked, "Then what should I do with these bags? How can I carry so many bags by myself? "
"These are all your brother's kind intentions. Keep them! Mom will get someone to expand your cloakroom later and hang all these bags inside! " Liang Mulan smiled and patted the back of Lin Ran's hand. "Mom has some things here too. If you have time, help Mom send them to Cen Mo and Nuan Nuan …"
"What?" Lin Ran looked at Liang Mulan and asked.
Liang Mulan smiled gently at Lin Ran. "You'll know once you send them over!"
…
Cen Mo had just settled Song Yao down for her afternoon nap when he heard that Lin Ran had come. His brows furrowed tightly, thinking that Lin Ran had gone back on her word and returned the gifts he had given her. When he went downstairs and saw that Lin Ran was carrying a box in her arms, he realized that Liang Mulan had asked her to send them over.
"Mom didn't say what these are?" Lin Nuan asked.
Lin Ran shook her head. "I asked, and Mom said that I'll know once I bring them over!"
Lin Nuan was about to reach out and take the box from Lin Ran's hands when Fu Huai 'an took it from her first. "I'll carry the heavy stuff …"
Lin Ran was rendered speechless.
She wasn't here to eat dog food.
Fu Huai 'an placed the box on the coffee table, and Cen Mo bent over to open it. His pupils trembled the moment he saw it.
Inside the box were some old items from the Lu family. At the very top was a photo of Ji Yun, her husband, and Lin Ran when she was young. The other items were also small mementos that were taken from that average-sized house.
Liang Mulan had originally kept these things on Lin Ran's behalf, thinking that Lin Ran would want to see them one day. But later … knowing that Lin Ran hated the Lu family to the extreme, Liang Mulan didn't take these things out and got someone to keep them in the storage room.
Later, when Ji Yun passed away, Liang Mulan was afraid that Lin Ran would be sad if she saw these things, so she hid this matter, hoping that she would take them out one day when Lin Ran's guilt toward Ji Yun lessened. Who knew that after Cen Mo asked someone to send so many things to Lin Ran today, Liang Mulan suddenly thought of the box that she had hidden away!
Liang Mulan felt that Cen Mo would want to know about his parents' lives in the past. He would probably … want to see how his parents used to look like, as well as the traces of their past lives.
Cen Mo took out the photo of the family of three from the box. When she was young, Lin Ran was sitting in Ji Yun's arms, while her father was sitting next to the mother and daughter. Other than Lin Ran, who had a smile on her face, Ji Yun's eyes were empty, as if there was no focus in them. As for that tall and sturdy man, he was sitting upright and still, his thin lips tightly pursed. Even though it was a family photo that was worth celebrating, his brows were furrowed …
Cen Mo guessed that the reason he wasn't smiling was probably because he was thinking about where his son was when the family photo was taken!
Lin Nuan fell silent for a moment when she saw the photo. She had seen this family photo the first time she went to the Lu family residence. She knew that Liang Mulan had sent these things over for Cen Mo to see. This was Liang Mulan's good intentions.
Lin Ran, who had both hands in her pockets, instantly felt her eyes redden. She stood next to Cen Mo and lowered her gaze to sweep a glance at the box. It was filled with things that she was familiar with in the past.
