Chapter Four
"Third brother, are you here to chat with me in such a leisurely time?" Zhiheng handed over a cup of coffee and said with a smile, "This cup has no sugar added, it is specially prepared for you...".
Zhiheng's handsome face, which was 90% similar to his father's, had a smile on his face. Although it looked a bit false and perfunctory, Ji Lang was embarrassed to ask for help.
"Tell me...what's going on?" Ji Lang asked helplessly, "Young Master is still waiting for the results...".
"If I say I don't know, would you believe me, Third Brother?" Zhiheng smiled again, "This is my father's order. He said that if you come to ask me, you might as well ask him directly. As for the reason, I really don't know.
…”.
"It seems that your dad knows everything, but his character..." Ji Lang shook his head in fear, "Who dares to ask him, isn't that asking for trouble?".
Zhiheng nodded to express his sympathy for Ji Lang's situation, and then reminded, "It's better to let Master Tianxing go to him directly. You also know that in his eyes, Master's status is much more important than that of us children...".
"I've asked, but there's no answer!" Ji Lang sighed sadly, "Young Master Lan is helpless against him. Your father is the 'king of heaven' who descended to earth. Who dares to provoke him after all these years?".
Zhiheng also felt the same way and smiled helplessly, "Third brother, I really can't help you...".
"It doesn't matter if you can't help..." Ji Lang thought for a while and asked again, "Tell me what you know. It's impossible not to find any clues in 'The Wild Goose Leaving a Sound'...".
Zhiheng paused for a while and actually remembered a useful detail, and guessed, "I feel that that person is very important to him, and he seems to respect him very much...Who can be related to the person who can be respected by our old man so much?".
"Huh?" Ji Lang couldn't help but nodded in agreement, "The person who can protect him so wholeheartedly... What you said makes sense, so it makes sense...".
Lan Ze was afraid that he would be reprimanded again when he returned home, so he went to the company to seek protection from his mother. They were two sons who grew up with the same father and mother in the same living environment. The eldest son Zhang Zhiheng was a rare man with both literary, Taoist and military skills.
Talent, and the second son Lanze is a typical rich man.
Lan Ruo had nothing to do with her younger son, but her mother always doted on her children more. Although the abilities and qualifications of the second son Lan Ze were far different from those of the eldest son Zhang Zhiheng, she would be more partial to this useless younger son.
Although Lan Mei, who is nearly fifty years old, still maintains her beautiful appearance and elegant temperament cultivated by her family's wealth and glory, she does not have the ability to live forever. So at this time, Lan Ruo and Senior Brother Zhang
Standing together, they look like an "old wife and young husband" combination.
As for Senior Brother Zhang, who has maintained the appearance of a sophomore in his eighties, he seems to be younger and more handsome than his two sons.
Although Lan Ruo didn't always educate his son harshly like Senior Brother Zhang, the necessary persuasion was still indispensable. So at this time, even though Lan Ze was leaning on his mother's shoulder to act cute, he was still taught a few words by Lan Ruo.
"Ze'er, when can you be more angry on your own? Don't make your dad angry all the time. Follow Tianxing and your brother's example more. You're idle all day long. It's no wonder your father always scolds you. You can't be angry on your own.
?”.
"You want me to compete with my brother? There is no comparison. How many more years of hard training can I surpass the young master of the Zhang family..." Lan Ze muttered in frustration, "You still want me to compete with Master Tianxing? He is Lan Ze
As for the 'god' of my family, I might as well find a place to die...".
Lan Ruo helplessly slapped her youngest son on the face, and then lectured, "I don't know how to work hard, so I just want to find excuses...".
"Mom, we sometimes suspect that our uncle is your son. My father picked us three up from the street. Why do you prefer him so much?" This is something Lanze has never done since he was a child.
Questions to understand.
Lan Ruo smiled helplessly, "No wonder your father always scolds you, even if you say such things...".
"But among us, only my uncle is the one who looks most like my dad..." Lan Ze asked again, "Can you explain this problem?".
"Your uncle...it's not because he looks like your dad, but..." Lan Ruo suddenly stopped talking. This was a secret they had guarded for thirty years, and she couldn't tell it easily.
Lan Ze chased and asked, "What is it? Mom, please tell me, who does he look like? Isn't he the son of Grandpa Zipeng? But why are their appearance and personalities completely different...".
Lan Ruo could only mercilessly ignore her son's curiosity. She looked at the time and said, "It's time for school to end. Go pick up Lan Yun'er and go home. With her at home, your father won't look at you."
It’s pleasing to the eye…”.
"Oh...Okay!" Although Lan Ze was reluctant but did not dare to refute, he asked again as he walked out, "You can continue talking when you get home, I haven't heard enough yet...".
Lan Ruo sighed secretly, there were many things that she couldn't tell, and she couldn't satisfy her son's curiosity.
Tian Xing watched Lan Ze drive out of the parking lot before going upstairs and knocking on Lan Ruo's office door. So many things had happened in the past two days, and he suddenly felt a strong curiosity to know the truth.
Lan Ruo was slightly stunned when she saw Tian Xing coming in with tea and guessed his purpose, but she couldn't say anything without Senior Brother Zhang's consent.
"Sister Ruo, tea..." Tian Xing handed over the tea respectfully, "I won't embarrass you, just chat with me for a few words!".
Lan Ruo was slightly embarrassed. Tian Xing could easily see through her mind. The mind-reading skills inherited from the Yu Clan had no effect on a strong person like Senior Brother Zhang, but the effect was still good when used on others.
"My mother... was there... oh... someone else around her back then?" Tian Xing asked carefully, "Elder brother said that there were many people who admired her...".
Lan Ruo thought for a moment and nodded, confirming the conjecture, "Your mother... using the dialect from her hometown to describe her, she should be a 'person who lives in the sky'...".
"Oh...what do you mean?" Tian Xing was puzzled. No one had ever taught him the country dialect.
"It means that she is unconventional and does not eat the fireworks of the world. She is a fairy in the sky!" Lan Ruo replied, "But she almost gave up herself in order to give birth to you...".
"Well...what do you mean by giving up yourself...?" Tian Xing didn't understand, "I never heard my parents say that after I became sensible, and my mother used to...oh...Sister Ruo, please go on!".
"Your biological mother is Yu Gui, the authentic Yu Gui Saint, but the mother you see in your eyes is not the real Yu Gui..." Lan Ruo sighed sadly, "She is not a woman in the mortal world.
, your extraordinary talents and excellent qualifications were actually left to you by her... For this reason, she gave up on herself!".
Tian Xing's hand holding the cup shook slightly, but he still didn't understand.
"She burned the last bit of her life for you, father and son..." Lan Ruo continued, "That is to say, she gave everything she had without reservation!".
"Sister Ruo, what on earth are you trying to say?" Tian Xing couldn't understand even more, "What happened back then? Why did my mother have to do this?".
Lan Ruo stood up, held his shoulders and persuaded, "Tian Xing, listen to my sister, now that you have grown up and become famous, this was your mother's wish back then. Why bother to pursue those insignificant so-called facts and live up to it?"
What about all her hard work?".
"You mean... you want me to give up the pursuit?" Tian Xing felt a little sad, then paused for a moment and asked, "Can't I... know?".
"If someone wants to tell you, you will naturally know it!" Lan Ruo advised again, "You know this truth, don't investigate anymore...".
Tian Xing paused for a moment, and then sighed, "Sister, you are right. If he wants to tell me... maybe he will come to me...".
"That's good!" Lan Ruo patted Tian Xing's handsome face and sighed, "You are even more handsome than your father, and you have inherited your mother's intelligence and wisdom. You are a member of our Lan family.
'God', don't let the people down...".
