Creation's grace

Back in China, Steward Chen came to pick them up.

Ran Jin said to go to Chi's villa first and send Chi Yu home.

"Go to Miss Ran's apartment first." Chi Yu said to Butler Chen.

Butler Chen, who was about to start the car, froze in place for a moment when he heard two destinations.

He turned his head and smiled slightly at the two young ladies behind him—you two decide on me before moving.

"Why did you go to my apartment first?" Ran Jin asked Chi Yu, "It's closer to Chi's house from the airport."

Going to Chi's house first and then going to the apartment is clearly a smoother route.

Chi Yu's gaze shifted downwards, and landed on Ran Jin's unnaturally raised leg.

"You didn't hire a servant, did you?"

"Um……"

"No one takes care of you. How do you live with your legs like this?"

The meaning in Chi Yu's words was not only to send her back, but also to stay and take care of her.

"No problem, I can do it myself." Ran Jin said with certainty, "It's just that one leg is a bit inconvenient. Don't I have a cane? I just do some daily life at home, and I don't do difficult sports. real……"

"Uncle Chen, let's drive and go to Miss Ran's apartment." Chi Yu didn't talk to her, and gave the order directly.

Ran Jin wanted to say something more, but Chi Yu stepped forward and said:

"Is it because I didn't take good care of you during this time? That's fine, I'll let Aunt Su go, or do you want to hire a capable nurse again?"

Ran Jin: "..."

There's no way, Ran Jin can't say no to late encounter, he can only listen to her.

And... The fact that Chi Yu took the initiative to take care of her made her secretly yearn for it, and it was hard to refuse.

While Ran Jin was still thinking, Steward Chen received the definite message from the silence and drove to Ran Jin's apartment.

When they arrived at the apartment, Chi Yu didn't tell Ran Jin any more, and directly helped her upstairs, then turned around and said to Butler Chen:

"Uncle Chen, help me carry all my luggage up."

"Okay!"

After moving all their luggage up and putting them away, Steward Chen left.

Chi Yu has been to this apartment before, and Ran Jin also knows that she has been there.

Compared with the Chi's villa, the apartment is very compact, and the area is not too big. One living room, one bedroom and one bathroom, plus a cloakroom and study room are all it has.

The last time I was late, I secretly borrowed my sister's authority and sneaked in without the owner's knowledge.

At that time, Chi Yu carried the anger of having revealed all the truth, and the determination to let Ran Jin fall into the abyss of pain.

But now when he came back here, it was actually to take care of the "enemy" he wanted to kill at the beginning.

Chi Yu once again stood in the corridor full of oil paintings and fossil rubbings, feeling complicated.

Ran Jin knew that Chi Yu should not be allowed to come up, and that he should keep a distance.

But when Chiyu dragged her upstairs, she found that she didn't have the ability to resist Chiyu without the help of alcohol.

At this time, Chi Yu was standing in the living room of her house, observing her details about her life, and would stay here for the next few days.

Chi Yu who entered her life made Ran Jin nervous.

"Do you want peach juice?" Ran Jin secretly adjusted his mentality, walked to the refrigerator with a cane, and took out a can of peach juice.

"Thank you..." Chi Yu glanced at it. This peach juice was the same brand she had been drinking since she was a child.

Chi Yu drank peach juice and asked her, "Why do you like fossils?"

I only knew that she liked it before, but I never asked her why she liked it.

Ran Jin didn't expect that Chi Yu would be interested in her hobbies.

This apartment is Ran's habitat and rarely visited.

Lu Siqing always just went downstairs, Ran Jin never invited her.

Chi Li has been here before, but she is not interested in everything here, she only comes to get something or do some errands, and stay occasionally.

Ran Jin doesn't have many friends, and she doesn't want to make any friends either.

So far, this is the first time someone has entered her real life.

This person is still late.

"Because fossils are the relics of life, they record the origin of life and the path it has traveled in this life." Ran Jin stood beside Chi Yu with a cane on his back, looking at her favorite ammonite outer core fossil rubbings, somewhat concealed I can't help the desire to talk about Chi Yu, "No matter how long they have died, the traces from life to death are all condensed in the fossils."

Chi Yu watched Ran Jin staring at the fossil rubbings intently, as if he saw Ran Jin once again preaching that the future of new energy belongs to the Chi Group on the highly anticipated rostrum.

"Real." Ran Jin's eyes were bright, and he could hardly take his eyes off. "The thing that fascinates me most about fossils is that they engrave the most real appearance of life."

Facing her extremely gentle and considerate Ran Jin, Ran Jin who would revolve around him as long as she said a word, occasionally devotes his attention to other things, and when he is obsessed with other things, he is a little strange and special.

Chi Yu was curious: "Why do you only collect rubbings and not the fossils themselves? Even if the fossils are not easy to preserve, there are still many 3D printed ones, even simulation models. Why don't you collect those? Isn't it more realistic and three-dimensional?" ?”

Unexpectedly, Ran Jin said: "I just want to leave traces of life, but I don't really want to own them."

Ran Jin's words seem to have some kind of symbolic meaning, just like her obsession with fossil rubbings.

It's just that Chi Yu heard it in his ears at that time, and made a few turns in his heart, but he couldn't really understand it.

After all, what Ran Jin has experienced and what he is shouldering at this moment is much, much more than what Chi Yu thought.

Ran Jin has come to a world that Chi Yu never thought of, and there is a pain in his heart that ordinary people will never understand.

The apartment has only one bedroom with a single bed. Ran Jin wants to give it up to Chi Yu, and she sleeps on the sofa by herself.

If it wasn't for the fact that Ran Jin was older than her, Chi Yu would have liked to nod her on the forehead: "I'm here to take care of the patients, what's the point of letting you sleep on the sofa alone as a patient?"

Of course Chi Yu refused. After stuffing Ran Jin into the bedroom, he directly occupied the sofa in the living room, and drove Ran Jin to sleep quickly.

Ran Jin, who was originally not as strong as Chiyu, was helpless because of her inconvenient legs and feet. Without Chiyu's help, it was indeed inconvenient for her to get out of bed, so she could only do so temporarily.

Ran Jin just woke up the next day, and Chi Yu woke up too, knocked on the door and asked her if she wanted to get up.

"I'm coming in." Chi Yu asked at the door.

"Hmm..." Ran Jin turned over with his pillow in his arms, and it took him a long time to answer vaguely.

I don't know if it's because of Chi Yuzai, Ran Jin slept very soundly last night, without insomnia, he didn't even need to adjust the jet lag, and slept until dawn.

This is very rare for her who has been sleeping poorly.

It was rare for her to wake up without sore eyes and no pain in her body. She fell asleep quickly last night and had some pleasant dreams. She slept easily until this morning.

Because it was so comfortable, I was a little greedy for the comfort in the dream, and after Chi Yu came in, Ran Jin was still wrapped in sleep, with his eyes half-opened.

"Didn't sleep well?" Chi Yu walked to her bed and wanted to pick her up from the bed.

"No..." Ran Jin, who was always nervous, spoke in a soft, nasal voice now.

Chi Yu hugged her lower back, the feeling of being hugged made Ran Jin wake up quickly, and immediately stood up by himself: "I can get up by myself."

"Don't be brave." Chi Yu didn't let go of her, but hugged her even tighter, supporting her standing posture, "I hugged you firmly, didn't I? If you can't stand up well, then you fall, Your newly grown bones won't stand up to you doing this."

Ran Jin couldn't say anything more in her arms, and stood up with Chi Yu.

As soon as Chi Yu reached out, he got the crutch leaning against the wall, and felt that the bedroom was pitifully small.

"Why not buy a bigger apartment?" Chi Yu looked at the window, which was not a floor-to-ceiling window, and the view was not very good.

"You don't need to buy a big one, I'm not used to it being too big." Ran Jin took the crutch over.

Ran Jin's words reminded Chi Yu of the small partition in her sister's bedroom cloakroom.

It is indeed small.

I don't like big houses... Could it be that Ran Jin is a habit of living in that small partition?

But isn't Ran Jin's father a well-known manufacturing leader?

Even if she broke up with her family for unknown reasons and wandered outside for a long time, many habits were formed since she was a child. How could she not be used to living in a big house?

Ran Jin went to the kitchen by himself and asked Chi Yu, "What do you want for breakfast?"

Chi Yu followed and persuaded her to go back: "Can you go and rest? I came here to take care of you, not to trouble you. Tell me, I'll cook what you want to eat. If you really If you want to be active, you can brush your teeth and wash your face, and you will be able to eat when I finish."

Ran Jin wanted to say more, Chi Yu stood up straight, at 1.7 meters [-] she was taller than Ran Jin at [-], even though she was a bit disadvantaged in age, relying on the difference in height and health, Chi Yu When the aura is fully open:

"Sister Ran, if you say it again, I will take you out directly."

Ran Jin: "..."

Run away immediately.

In the past, Chi Yu's ten fingers did not touch the spring water, and he was not familiar with any food except the kitchen itself.

She knew it was because she didn't focus on cooking.

Whenever she wants to put in the effort to learn something, she can learn it very quickly.

In the morning, she will prepare breakfast for Ran Jin, and ask her what she wants to do after breakfast.

Have books ready for her if she wants to read, and bring her a tablet and laptop if she wants to check on her work.

After arranging Ran Jin's needs, Chi Yu will go to the company to deal with the things that must be dealt with.

Come back at noon to help her cook, ask her what she wants to eat before it's too late, and bring takeaways on the way back.

Under normal circumstances, Ran Jin has no pursuit of eating. The most common sentence he says is: "Xiao Yu, I will eat with you whatever you want."

Chi Yu thinks about it, that's right, after all, in the Excel sheet given to Chi Yu by his former assistant Xiao Zhang, all of Ran Jin's favorite dishes come from Chi Yu.

"Then can I take the Kung Pao Chicken and Dry Fried Niuhe back? It's the Chinese restaurant downstairs from the company."

"Yes." When Ran Jin spoke to her, his voice was always soft.

Chiyu, who has always been afraid of trouble, was not a little irritable when she was waiting for the take-out in the Chinese restaurant, and she was willing to stand here and wait.

Ran Jin's apartment is very convenient, it is very close to the company, and she can go back and forth quickly.

It's just that, besides being small, there are almost no mirrors.I searched the whole house, and there was only a mirror in the corner of the bathroom that couldn't be smaller, showing half of my face.

Ran's forbidden habit is really confusing.

For Chi Yu, who cannot do without a mirror everywhere, it is really troublesome, so I had to buy one myself.

In the days when Chi Yu was here, Ran Jin enjoyed an unprecedented high-quality sleep.

Even if one person is in the bedroom and the other is in the living room, Ran Jin still feels extraordinarily safe.

But Ran Jin still felt distressed seeing Chi Yu sleeping on the sofa, and asked the doctor to come to help her recover, and soon, Ran Jin could walk by herself.

Even though she was a little bit reluctant, she was even more unwilling to sleep on the sofa with Chi Yu.

"I don't need crutches anymore, I can walk by myself, don't sleep on the sofa anymore, go home and have a good sleep."

She thought that Chi Yu would be relieved, but she was slightly taken aback, showing a trace of disappointment without concealing it.

"Okay." Chi Yu said, "Then I won't bother you."

Ran Jin: "..."

Chi Yu left as soon as he said he would, but Ran Jin had no face to persuade him to stay.

An hour after Chi Yu left, Ran Jin sent her a WeChat message, asking if she had arrived home.

She replied quickly, but there were only two words──

【Arrived】

Dry with no punctuation marks.

Is Xiaoyu angry?

Ran Jin: "..."

He tapped his forehead with his phone in frustration.

That's okay, Ran Jin sat on the sofa, it's indeed too intimate recently, which is what she longs for, but not what she wants.

Today at noon, there is no need to go to Ran Jin's apartment to worry about her lunch. Chi Yu has nothing to do, so he invites Qi Tong, and the two go to the Chinese restaurant in the building for dinner.

"It can be regarded as seeing a living person." Qi Tong sighed without even taking a sip of water, "Before you flew overseas without saying a word, it's normal not to see anyone, why can't you find someone after you come back? What have you been doing all this time?"

Chi Yu handed the lemonade to Qi Tong, motioning for her to take a breath.

After Qi Tong ton drank a glass of water, Chi Yu said slowly, "Ran Jin suffered such a serious injury to save me, of course I have been taking care of her during this time."

Qi Tong put down the glass and watched Chi Yu carefully.

"what?"

"It's tiring to take care of patients." Qi Tong said something.

Chi Yu didn't care at all, it seemed that a part of her mind didn't know where it fell, and she wasn't all present: "It's okay, after all, she was very lucky to survive the collision at that time, her hands and legs were injured, yesterday Only then can I walk without crutches.”

Qi Tong became even more curious: "Then why does Sister Yu look like she's not tired at all, and her face is full of red."

Chiyu: "..."

"You and your sister-in-law, no, the former sister-in-law, have been facing each other day and night this month, has nothing happened?"

After all, Qi Tong is a melon-eating professional, and she can't hide anything from her eyes.

Chi Yu said truthfully, "That's not true."

Qi Tong didn't believe it: "How is it possible, you hated her so much before, let alone taking care of her, it would be nice if you didn't take advantage of her illness to kill her, but now you actually want to take care of her."

Chi Yu told her what she was thinking, and listed out everything she had thought recently.

After hearing this, Qi Tong also felt that it made sense: "Yes, if Ran Jin is really the murderer, why would he return the Chi Group that he has already obtained to you, let alone sacrifice his life to save you, a big resistance."

"The most important point." When Chi Yu said this, he looked around and said in a low voice, "The accident happened after we found out about Zhou Yu. I am abroad and you are in China. At the same time, I encountered a car accident. How can there be such a coincidence? It must be because I found very sensitive clues. At that time, Ran Jin suddenly appeared on my way to the observatory. It's a coincidence, but it's a bit too coincidental."

"You mean, Ran Jin got the news that someone was going to harm you, and flew all the way to protect you?"

After saying this, Qi Tong was moved by Ran Jin's sincerity.

"Not all of them." Chi Yu said.

Qi Tong: "Huh?"

"She has a daughter overseas, and she is here to see her daughter."

"daughter?"

"It's not considered a daughter, it's not her own."

"Sister Yu, can you finish your sentence at once? You scared me to death." Qi Tong took Chi Yu's water and took a sip to suppress the shock.

Chi Yu: "It was my sister's own."

Qi Tong almost spit out.

"What! When did your sister have a child? Why have you never heard of it?"

"Don't talk about you, I haven't heard of it myself."

"This... how old is the child? Did your sister and Ran Jin have a baby? No, can it be possible? Both of them are girls."

"It's more than three years old. My sister gave birth to someone else. It has nothing to do with Ran Jin. According to Ran Jin's words, she should take care of this child for my sister."

Qi Tong's eyes were empty: "It's more than three years old... The world of your rich people is really chaotic."

Even for a veteran who eats melons, hearing such shocking news still gave her a little indigestion.

Chi Yu raised his hand and knocked her on the head: "Stop gloating."

Qi Tong rubbed his head and pouted, recalled this sweet melon, and sighed: "Ran Jin really has nothing to say to your sister, they both broke up, your sister is gone, and she still goes to take care of your sister's children Hey? No, you said that the child lives in city A, not far from you, so why did you hide it from you? They were in China before, so it’s not as convenient for you to take care of them from time to time than for them to fly for more than ten hours ? And the relationship between your two sisters is still so good, they will definitely take good care of the children, won't they?"

After finishing speaking, Qi Tong noticed another suspicious point: "That's not right, why did you put the child overseas? Doesn't your sister live in China all the year round?"

She immediately took out the tablet: "Yes, I remember correctly. I have checked all the itineraries of your sister in the past few years. She flies all over the world, but among the itineraries that can be found, the longest overseas business trip is 34 days. , the other untraceable disappearance time is only 65 days. How can she have time to have a baby?"

Chi Yu wasn't surprised at what Qi Tong said: "I thought of that too. Maybe this child wasn't born by my sister. However, she looks exactly like my sister..."

Qi Tong asked: "...couldn't it be a surrogate pregnancy?"

Chi Yu glared at her: "My sister won't go for surrogacy, she has sponsored organizations that oppose surrogacy before."

"Hmm..." Qi Tong's mind was spinning at high speed: "The child named Nana must not be taken back to China because of illness, perhaps, because she can't be exposed in China. I didn't let you know because you couldn't know. Yes What can you not know? What kind of adverse consequences will Nana's existence bring to you?"

Her words made the two of them fall into deep thought.

"I have already asked my friends overseas to help me check the child's birth record." Chi Yu looked at the shopping mall corridor with people coming and going outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, his eyes were a little heavy, "I have a feeling that this child and I My sister's passing is also inextricably linked, like everything new I know since her passing."

Judging from all the clues obtained before, the relationship between Ran Jin and his sister does not seem to be as loving as outsiders see, and it may be a fake relationship from the beginning.

Then why did Ran Jin still wear the watch that her sister gave her?Just because I'm too lazy to replace?

But a watch is an intimate accessory to carry around, and who wants to wear a gift from someone who doesn't like it?

What's more, she and her sister have already broken up, so why go all the way to take care of her sister's "daughter"?

Ran Jin and Nana got along with each other, Chi Yu watched the whole process, not perfunctory at all.

It can even be said to be meticulous and gentle.

It doesn't look like she was just entrusted by her sister and had no choice.

Chi Yu thought, maybe she and Nana had gotten along before and developed a relationship, so she was willing to take care of her sister after her death.

Let’s go back to the incident where Ran Jin suddenly appeared on the Panshan Highway and saved her life.

Before Nana unexpectedly appeared, Ran Jin said that she came to City A for a business trip, and Chi Yu deduced that she was not on a business trip, but went to visit Nana in City A.

Maybe her sister died so suddenly that Nana didn't know about it, and because of trivial matters, Ran Jin hadn't seen Nana for a while, and this time he was here to appease Nana.

It is impossible for Chi Yu to believe that her appearance on the Panshan Highway was a coincidence.

Ran Jin must have found out the inside story and came to save people on purpose, so he slammed the car chasing Chi Yu off the cliff with high speed and precision on the winding mountain road.

Those who want to be unfavorable to Chi Yu must not want Chi Yu to find out the truth, and must want to cover up the inside story of her sister's death, which on the contrary confirms that Zhou Yu's abnormality is related to her sister's death.

But Ran Jin, who stood on the opposite side and saved Chi Yu, at least in the matter of Chi Yu's life and death, was at odds with the people behind the scenes.

As Chi Yu thought about it, he recorded all his doubts and thoughts in his phone.

While typing, she asked Qi Tong: "Didn't you say you were cut by a car and sprained your knee, how are you doing now?"

"It's been done a long time ago." When Qi Tong talked about this, he began to drink water again, and solved it in four words.

Chi Yu looked up at her strangely.

Chi Yu is too familiar with Qi Tong's style, a small matter can start a full-length novel for you, how exciting is she being chased and killed by a black hand behind the scenes, and she can answer it in a short sentence?

There must be a mystery hidden in this concise way of speaking.

Chi Yu was about to ask again when the phone rang suddenly.

Chi Yu: "Your phone is ringing."

Qi Tong wondered: "This is not the ringtone of my phone."

"Sounds coming from your bag."

Qi Tong took out his bag and found that there was an unfamiliar mobile phone, but the avatar of the incoming call was not unfamiliar at all.

The word "Little Ban" was accompanied by the picture of Ran Jin bowing his head and being captured. Qi Tong was shocked, and immediately handed the phone to Chi Yu:

"Your sister-in-law's phone number!"

Chi Yu glanced at it, and connected suspiciously: "Hello?"

It wasn't Ran Jin's voice on the other side, who said viciously, "Qi, where are you? My phone is in your bag!"

After Chi Yu heard it, he returned the phone to Qi Tong and said, "Sure enough, I'm looking for you."

Qi Tong took it and listened for a while, then hurriedly said a series of "Okay, OK" respectfully, and finally reported the address of the Chinese restaurant, and hung up.

"Who is it?" Chi Yu thought for a while, someone who could have a photo of Ran Jin's private room and speak with a smell of fire and medicine, could it be...

"Lu Siqing?"

Looking at Qi Tong's guilty expression, he knew he had guessed right.

Chi Yu was even more surprised: "No, why are you guilty? Why did Lu Siqing's phone fall into your bag?"

The two were talking, when Lu Siqing killed him so quickly.

When I made the phone call, Lu Siqing and Ran Jin happened to meet on the restaurant floor, and they arrived in two or three steps.

Lu Siqing rushed into the dining room like a gust of wind, and Ran Jin followed behind her, walking in slowly.

"Give me the phone." Lu Siqing stretched out his hand to Qitong.

Qi Tong handed her the phone without daring to look up.

Chiyu: "?"

I feel that the state of these two people is a little delicate, what's the matter?

"Go in." Lu Siqing took the phone and didn't want to leave. He patted Qitong on the shoulder and motioned her to sit inside.

Qi Tong didn't raise his head, but moved his buttocks, and sat obediently in the innermost place.

Then Lu Siqing sat across from Chi Yu, side by side with Qi Tong.

Chiyu: "..."

Does this mean we want to eat together?

Lu Siqing said, "It's all about you, the unlucky ghost, who caused me to be on fire and hungry all morning."

After speaking, Lu Siqing picked up a glass of water and drank it.

Qi Tong reminded in a low voice: "That's... I drank it."

Lu Siqing: "..."

It's dry, and the lip marks are still stacked together.

Chi Yu sat in the middle of the sofa, and Ran Jin stood aside, the scene was extremely awkward.

When Ran Jin wanted to say goodbye to them and was about to leave the restaurant, Chi Yu and Qi Tong used the same posture of not looking up, and the same movement of moving their buttocks, and moved Ran Jin's position.

"……thanks."

After the seat was given up, Ran Jin had no choice but to sit next to Chi Yu.

In order to relieve the inexplicably tense atmosphere, Chi Yu pulled out Qi Tong who was shivering in the corner, and asked her, "Why do you feel weird?"

Qi Tong: "Ah? What's wrong with me? No, you're the one to blame."

Chi Yu looked between her and Lu Siqing, remembering what Qitong said on the phone earlier that she was rescued by a policeman in an accident, and immediately understood.

"The person who rescued you was Police Officer Lu? Do you two have a story?"
