472 471: a Cold Arrow

Kang Xiaoqiao could not help but frown when she heard this. How painful was this?

The world of men was really hard to understand.

Following that, Lu Yichen put his arm around Ran Xing's shoulder. It was rare to see him introduce to Kang Xiaoqiao in a serious and relaxed manner. "This is my good brother, Ran Xing."

"This is the wife I mentioned to you, Kang Xiaoqiao."

Kang Xiaoqiao glanced coldly at Lu Yichen. "It won't be for long."

You really have the nerve to introduce her. Kang Xiaoqiao did not want to give him any face. She was still full of anger today.

...?

The air suddenly become quiet.

The heavens were being chatted to death by you, and the scene instantly became a little awkward. However, Ran Xing's eyes could not help but light up when he heard this. He laughed loudly and said, "Sister-in-law, you have a personality. Hehe, we have been brothers for so many years, but we have never seen him eat -- haha--"

"Sister-in-law, you can be considered the number one person. Come, come, come, sit in the house, sit in the house--"

Lu Yichen's expression was a little awkward. He had indeed never been slapped in the face like this since he was young, and his face immediately turned a little black. However, this was his own brother, so he thickened his skin and coughed. "Ahem, that, let's go--"

Ran Xing was in front, and Lu Yichen was behind. Then, he whispered to Kang Xiaoqiao, "Can't you give me some face?"

Kang Xiaoqiao said coldly, "I don't think you need it."

Another arrow hit the bull's-eye. It was simply piercing his heart.

Lu Yichen's expression froze, and Kang Xiaoqiao was the first to step through the threshold. At this time, she carefully sized up the courtyard.

This was really an antique courtyard house. Except for the side door, which was more modern and could be entered by vehicles, after passing through the cobblestones, the ground beneath their feet turned into a pool of Beijing bricks, which were so black that they were shining.

There were some small potted plants around, and Kang Xiaoqiao entered the Ming Hall, which had doors at the front and back, with a large screen in the middle.

Obviously, there was a courtyard at the back. This was a three-way courtyard house, and it was very well preserved.

Ran Xing was seen as a rough man, but she did not expect him to have such leisure and elegance. After Kang Xiaoqiao sat on the armchair, Ran Xing smiled and poured a cup of tea for Kang Xiaoqiao. "Sister-in-law, have some tea--"

Kang Xiaoqiao looked around, then said with a face full of praise, "This courtyard is not bad."

At this time, Lu Yichen sat down. Ran Xing poured Lu Yichen a cup of tea and said with a smile, "This is our family's old house."

Kang Xiaoqiao took a sip of tea when she heard that. His family's old house? It seemed that this Ran Xing's family's conditions were not bad.

Ran Xing then said with a smile, "Now that our family has moved into the military compound, there are not many people living here. Sister-in-law, if you are interested, you can visit everywhere. You don't have to be polite with me."

Seeing this, Kang Xiaoqiao's eyes lit up. She smiled and said, "Then let's have a good relationship."

After saying that, she put down the teacup, stood up, and went to visit. She was very obsessed with ancient buildings. In the past, Kang Xiaoqiao liked to go to Suzhou Gardens the most. She always felt that gardens like that had a sense of beauty.

She liked it very much. However, the north also had the characteristics of the north. These hand-copied corridors and courtyards, some exquisite buildings, she liked very much.

After seeing Kang Xiaoqiao stand up and leave, Ran Xing was silent for a while and said, "Ah Chen, sister-in-law she--"

Lu Yichen silently took a sip of tea and said, "You don't have to worry about that. How are things on your side?"

When Ran Xing saw this, his expression turned cold as he said, "Hmph, what else can I do? They're too greedy--"

"I really want to kill them with a single shot--"

After saying this, a murderous aura instantly spread out from his body. Lu Yichen's face was cold as he took another sip of tea and said, "If you can't bear it, then you'll mess up the big plan. Since they dare to target Mei Zi, I'm afraid they're asking for a lot. Don't act rashly."

Ran Xing clenched his fists, blue veins popping out. In the end, he returned to his calm state. Then, he looked behind him and said, "Ah Chen, are you and sister-in-law really okay?"

"Sigh, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have to be like this--"

Lu Yichen's face turned cold as he said, "What kind of friendship do you and I have? Is there a need to talk about this?"

Then, he tightened his grip on the teacup and said, "These people are despicable to the extreme. They didn't even let a weak woman go. Who would have thought that they would target a marginalized weak woman like Mei Zi? I'm afraid there's something fishy about this."

Ran Xing said without thinking, "You mean?"

"That's right. How could it be such a coincidence? You just got married and I already received a transfer order? If it wasn't for the transfer order, I'm afraid Mei Zi would have been my wife by now."

Lu Yichen looked at him when he heard that, as if he had seen through all of his thoughts. Ran Xing felt a trace of shame. He clenched his hands and said, "It's my fault. This is my fault."

"Mei Zi's heart has always been on you. When she suddenly heard that you were getting married, she was heartbroken. I originally thought that when she was in a better mood, I--"

"But, I never expected such a change. Ah Chen, this time, no matter what, I will not give up on Mei Zi. Even if she is unwilling, I must let her live under my wings. I, whenever I think of what that beast did to Mei Zi, I, I want to jump him."

When Lu Yichen heard this, his expression was also very grave. His fingers continuously tapped on the table and said, "With my previous restraint, things are progressing well here. The bait has already been distributed. Now, we just have to patiently wait for the fish to bite."

"This time, I want to uproot them--"

Lu Yichen spoke as if it was a breeze. However, when Ran Xing heard this, he had a look of shock on his face. "Uproot them?"

Then, he thought of something and said with an unpredictable expression, "Ah Chen, you didn't explain to sister-in-law and forcefully carried these hats on your shoulders just to attract their attention? Just to make them focus all their attention on you?"

"From the looks of sister-in-law, I'm afraid it's going to be difficult for her to get over it!"

Lu Yichen's expression immediately turned ugly when he heard that, while Ran Xing acted as if he did not see it and continued, "Ah Chen, if it was in the past, I would definitely support you. As a man, as an ambitious man, you can be unscrupulous, but--"

As he said this, Ran Xing said in extreme pain, "But, ever since I lost Mei Zi, I've been in extreme pain and constantly reflecting on myself. If I was given another chance, I would definitely not be like this."

"Ah Chen, cherish the person in front of you. It's more practical than any ideal or ambition."

Lu Yichen was abnormally silent and did not speak. Ran Xing tried his best to persuade him, but Lu Yichen knew better than anyone that he had to do this.

The Lu family was not united. They relied on his father. However, he would not believe that his relationship with his father would be so broken without the hard work of these people.
