Chapter 25: The Arrogant and Domineering Miss (End)

In the first round, the holders of the joker cards and the number cards that were ordered were all strangers.

On An Ran's birthday, all the people invited were his good friends, both from No. 1 Middle School and from other schools. Because An Ran was the hub, everyone, whether they knew each other or not, quickly became one, so they had a lot of fun.

Some were ordered to hug the holder of a certain number, some were asked to go out and confess to the first person they met, and some were ordered to kiss a certain number with another number...

An Cui, Lan Shengzhe and An Ran all dodged successfully.

"Okay, let's see whose turn it is this time."

"Hahaha, I'm the joker, I'm the king. Okay, then I order... Number 2 and Number 7 to kiss for one minute!"

Number 2?

An Cui looked at her cards, the 2 of spades.

When An Cui showed her cards, the crowd was quiet for a moment, then became excited. Who is number 7? Who is number 7?

"Number 7, number 7, don't hesitate, show yourself!"

Lan Shengzhe looked at his cards not very attentively, and his scattered thoughts quickly came back to him. His heart beat faster and he nervously showed the cards.

Wow!!!!

Shocked!!! The boys and girls were stunned, and then the scene became a little awkward. Everyone knew that An Cui and Lan Shengzhe were siblings, and they were the original wife and the illegitimate child. However, there was also a person with high emotional intelligence who was good at smoothing things over. He immediately said, "This doesn't count. Let's start over again."

So they reshuffled the cards and drew again. This time the king also said excitedly: "Number 6 and number 4 kiss for one minute!"

An Cui looked at her cube 6: "..."

524: ...It seems like bad luck is coming and there is no way to stop it.

They were also surprised to see that it was An Cui again, and then looked at Lan Shengzhe, but they didn't want to see An Ran proudly showing his cards.

Four of Hearts!

The fun of the King's Game lies in its mandatory nature. The person being asked cannot refuse unless there are special circumstances, otherwise the game will be boring. I have just canceled a round, so there is no reason to cancel this time.

However, everyone thought that with the young lady's temper, if she was unhappy, no one would dare to say anything to her. Everyone would just feel a little suspicious and think that she was a bit of a spoilsport.

However, no one expected that An Cui threw down the cards, turned around, put her arms around An Ran's shoulders, and kissed him with her red lips.

An Ran had never thought that An Cui would not even think about rebutting. He suddenly became stiff and his eyes widened. An Cui's eyelashes were so thick and black that they almost brushed his eyeballs like a small brush, causing his eyelids to tremble. But probably out of male instinct, he quickly closed his eyes.

Four soft lips entangled and sucked, and the ambiguous sound made the girls watching couldn't help but cover their cheeks, and the boys' blood boiled.

Lan Shengzhe just felt so irritable. This scene so close to him was so annoying. He didn't like it. He really didn't like it. He didn't know why he didn't like it.

A minute seemed to pass very quickly, yet also very slowly. An Cui felt her tongue was numb from being sucked, and had already made the decision to end it, but the other party came over like a puppy and sucked hard again before separating. She looked at him, the delicate and handsome boy gave her a shy smile, looking particularly innocent, as if the person who had just stirred up her mouth was not him.

Okay, the game continues.

After playing for a while and drinking some wine, An Cui felt a little hot and got up to go to the bathroom. Lan Shengzhe subconsciously followed her out of habit, but was scolded by An Cui and went back to sit down.

Everyone was playing in the private rooms, so there was basically no one in the corridor, unless they came out to smoke or go to the bathroom.

On the way to the bathroom, An Cui saw several men standing outside a private room smoking. They changed expressions and glanced at An Cui, whispering something.

An Cui withdrew her gaze, went into the bathroom to take care of her physiological needs, and when she came out after washing her hands, she found that the men had disappeared.

An Cui frowned and looked away, but unexpectedly, just as she passed a private room, the door suddenly opened, and a hand reached out without warning and grabbed her, pulling her into the room.

On An Ran's side, someone just came out from the corner and saw this scene. He was so scared that he held his urine and quickly ran back to the box.

"Oh no! I saw a few men dragging the young lady into a private room!" he immediately said to his friend.

The people who were still laughing were startled and immediately jumped up from their seats. Damn, who is so bold?

An Ran and Lan Shengzhe ran the fastest and followed their friend to find the box. When they entered, they saw several men surrounding An Cui and tearing her apart, which made them bloodshot.

An Cui was quite skilled in martial arts, and when she was first pulled in, she wanted to beat them to death. However, she thought that Lan Shengmei was not supposed to be able to do these things, and she noticed the appearance of that boy, so she had to pretend to be weak. Judging from the situation, she pretended quite well.

"Fuck you!" An Ran jumped up and kicked.

Lan Shengzhe rushed over and pushed the person away, "Sister!!"

There was a sudden chaos in the box. Even Lan Shuhua kicked and punched them. Damn it, you dare to attack their eldest daughter? If the biased grandparents knew about this, they would definitely vent their anger on her! Beat your mother to death!

Soon those men were beaten to the ground and curled up in a ball. The box manager and security guard also rushed over.

Shu Baoli stood outside the crowd. When she saw the men who were captured and An Cui who seemed unharmed, her face turned grim.

What's going on? Is Lan Shengmei so lucky? Damn it! Afraid of being discovered, Shu Baoli turned around and left immediately.

The police came quickly and took the men away. After what happened, the party naturally could not continue. An Cui left with Lan Shengzhe with a gloomy face.

Before leaving, Lan Shengzhe turned around to look for Shu Baoli with a bad look on his face, but he didn't see her. But he was sure that it must be her doing.

Because Lan Shuhua also came to the party, when they got home, the family already knew that An Cui was almost bullied. Grandpa and grandma were so angry that they almost wanted to kill those men on the spot.

Even so, they became more cautious towards An Cui, but An Cui acted as if nothing had happened. Instead, she comforted her grandparents, which moved them so much that they burst into tears. They also blamed Lan Shengzhe: "You followed them all day long, but why weren't you there at the critical moment?"

Lan Shengzhe lowered his head, and An Cui spoke for him: "I'm going to the bathroom, why do you want him to follow me?"

"My dear grandma..."

After comforting the two elderly people, An Cui went upstairs. Lan Shengzhe followed her to her door. "Are you...are you really okay?"

"fine."

"How about I sleep at your door tonight and I'll guard the door for you." Lan Shengzhe said, his throat moving up and down. He wanted to tell An Cui about what happened to Shu Baoli in the club several times, telling her that it might be arranged by her, but he hesitated and swallowed the words back several times.

Before he broke open the door of the box, he did want to kill Shu Baoli for a moment, but now that his passion had calmed down, he became indecisive again. He couldn't be sure if it was really Shu Baoli because he had no evidence. If he wrongly accused her, then her... life would be over.

"What? In your heart, am I such a fragile person?" An Cui seemed to be amused by him and a smile appeared on her face.

This was the first time that An Cui smiled at him. It was not a sneer, a mockery, or a fake smile, but a real smile, like a thorny red rose blooming. For a moment, he felt amazed and a little dazed.

What made him even more unbelievable was that An Cui reached out and rubbed his head, as if she was doting on him, as if she was rubbing a cute puppy.

He stood there, staring at her door motionlessly, still immersed in that smile and that intimate touch. His heart was like an inflated balloon, swelling up and floating up. It took him a while to return to his room, and then he saw in the bathroom mirror a smile on his face that he didn't even know he had.

He looked at her, and suddenly suppressed the curve of his mouth, turned on the tap and poured a handful of cold water on his face. He took a deep breath, very good, very good, he had conquered her step by step, An Cui was his enemy, the object of his revenge, everything he did to her was for this purpose, nothing else.

At night, Lan Shengzhe had a dream.

He dreamed of An Cui. She smiled at him, then embraced him and pressed her red lips against his. They were kissing, their lips intertwined, their tongues entwined, and they kissed for a long, long time...

The daylight illuminated the bedroom. Lan Shengzhe woke up by rubbing his pillow. As his consciousness gradually regained consciousness, his face suddenly became very ugly. He threw back the quilt, jumped off the bed, and rushed into the bathroom.

He was horrified and thought he was crazy. How could he have such a dream? Him? An Cui? What was going on? Was it because her kiss with An Ran yesterday had stimulated him? It must be like this... Damn it! He actually had such a dream. It was really... really... The word "disgusting" could not be uttered loudly.

Lan Shengzhe was unable to face An Cui for a moment, but luckily today was Saturday and he didn't have to go to class. An Cui was still sleeping and he didn't need to follow her, so he decided to go out for some fresh air.

As his relationship with An Cui became increasingly harmonious, Lan Shengzhe could also ask his family driver to take him out, so he was quickly taken to the city center and dropped off.

Lan Shengzhe was walking aimlessly and accidentally bumped into a ragged man.

"Sorry." Lan Shengzhe quickly reached out to support the person, apologized, and left.

He didn't notice that the man turned his head and stared at him for a long time, and finally followed him quietly.

Lan Shengzhe walked aimlessly outside for a long time before returning. When he returned, he found that Lan Shengmei had gone out. After asking the housekeeper, he learned that it was An Ran who came to pick her up.

An Cui and An Ran went out. Thinking of the kiss they had last night, An Ran had been pursuing An Cui and had never concealed his love for her, and An Cui seemed to be particularly tolerant of him. Yesterday, she had an ambiguous kiss with An Ran, and they went out today... They might be dating. Lan Shengzhe felt as if his chest was blocked by a ball of cotton, and his breathing was very difficult.

Mingming was unable to face An Cui before, but he immediately took out his cell phone and called An Cui to ask her where she was, but no one answered. He called several times and no one answered, so he sent a text message again, but no one replied.

He could only sit in the room, waiting for An Cui to come back with a gloomy expression.

An Cui didn't come back until after nine o'clock in the evening.

When Lan Shengzhe heard the noise, he immediately ran to An Cui's room. He was eager to see her and wanted to know what she and An Ran had done and what had happened today, and whether they were dating.

An Cui opened the door, looked at him expressionlessly, and let him in.

Lan Shengzhe's words were stuck, and he suddenly felt a little uneasy, so he followed him in.

"We've already found out what happened last night." An Cui walked to the desk, picked up a small stack of papers and said.

Lan Shengzhe asked quickly: "Really? What happened?"

"Someone paid someone to kill me. Guess who it was?"

Lan Shengzhe felt more and more uneasy: "Who is it?"

"Shu Baoli."

The axe hanging over his heart finally fell, and Lan Shengzhe felt relieved. "Really? Is that the evidence? Can I take a look?"

An Cui looked at him and smiled, a fake smile that made Lan Shengzhe's heart beat faster.

An Cui handed him the small stack of papers in her hand. Lan Shengzhe took it and looked down. Soon, his limbs began to feel cold, and then his whole body felt cold, and he stood still.

This was not evidence of Shu Baoli paying someone to kill her, but his past information, so detailed that it even showed the relationship between him and Shu Baoli's families, their friendship, and even included photos...

He was already unable to think, his mind was filled with the thought that it was all over. He didn't even dare to look up at An Cui.

However, he wanted to escape, but An Cui would not let him.

"Do you have anything else to say?" An Cui had already been holding the shiny black horsewhip in her hand without her knowing.

Lan Shengzhe looked at her with some fear, "Sister..."

"Shut up!" An Cui whipped him fiercely, "Who do you think you are? How dare you call me that!"

Lan Shengzhe felt as if the whip had penetrated his skin and flesh and landed directly on his heart, causing him such severe pain.

He was afraid of the whip. He watched her raise her hand again and couldn't help but close his eyes, waiting for it to fall again and again.

However, the whip did not fall. He opened his eyes and saw An Cui looking at him with ruthless and complete disgust and contempt, as well as deep disappointment: "Birds of a feather flock together."

Lan Shengzhe felt that her eyes and her cold words were like a huge axe, splitting his heart in two.

His heart suddenly felt panicky, "Sister, sister..."

"Go away." An Cui put down the whip and said.

"No! Hit me! I was wrong, sister, hit me!" Lan Shengzhe ran over in panic, picked up the whip and stuffed it into An Cui's hand. He would rather An Cui beat him up than to hear her say "go away" so calmly, because it was as if she didn't want him anymore. "Don't chase me away, hit me, hit me..."

However, no matter how he begged, An Cui just said coldly: "Get lost."

*

Lan Shengzhe was sent away because he was considered to be the one who attacked An Cui together with Shu Baoli. He was no longer allowed to live in the Lan family manor. But after all, he was the blood of the Lan family, so it was not good to abandon him directly, so he was allowed to live in an apartment near the school, and was given some living expenses on a regular basis, and then he was left alone.

Lan Shengzhe did not go to school. He locked himself in the apartment for several days. However, he was not completely unaware of the news from the outside world. He knew that the Shu family had officially gone bankrupt and Shu Baoli was sued by An Cui. Also sued was a girl named "Lv Xiaojie". Both of them were over 15 years old and had to bear criminal responsibility, so they would face imprisonment.

He already knew that Lu Xiaojie was the one who conspired with Shu Baoli to frame An Cui, because An Cui once stuffed a dead mouse into her mouth. She had been holding a grudge against her and was looking for an opportunity to take revenge on An Cui, but she failed.

You deserve it.

Lan Shengzhe wondered whether he was making fun of Lu Xiaojie or himself.

He locked himself in the apartment, and for a moment he seemed to have lost his dream and motivation. Even thinking of his dead mother did not cheer him up. He dreamed every day that he returned to An Ran's birthday. As soon as he saw Shu Baoli, he ran to tell An Cui, so An Cui was on guard and nothing happened that day. An Cui later learned that he and Shu Baoli were friends, and believed that he was deceived by her. Although she got angry and beat him, she still forgave him...

Then he woke up happily, only to see the despairing reality.

He was kicked out. An Cui didn't believe him. She said he and Shu Baoli were birds of a feather.

An Cui was told that Lan Shengzhe was in the hospital. His neighbor returned home and found that Lan Shengzhe's apartment door was not closed. Fearing that a thief might break in, he kindly wanted to help close it. As a result, he found Lan Shengzhe fainted on the ground and helped call an ambulance.

Lan Shengzhe starved himself to death because he didn't eat or drink, and when he fainted, he didn't know where he bumped into, and his calf was broken. It seemed that being kicked out of the Lan family was a big blow to him, and he seemed to have given up.

An Cui just glanced at the message coldly and didn't say anything else.

Lan Shengzhe waited and waited in the hospital. He waited for the nurse sent by his adoptive father, and for Lan Shuhua and others who came to laugh at him, but he did not wait for An Cui.

The cold winter has arrived. Lan Shengzhe, with a blanket covering his knees, is sitting in a wheelchair and being pushed out for a walk by a nurse. The cold wind makes his respiratory tract icy, but he only feels that the wind penetrates his chest and hits his heart directly.

It was true that he couldn't eat, but he didn't want to starve himself to death. He deliberately left the door open so that someone could take him to the hospital. He hoped that seeing him like this, An Cui would feel a little pity for him and would let her look at him, but An Cui didn't.

How heartless.

The nurse was a strong middle-aged woman. She looked at the handsome boy with a plaster cast on his left leg and a pale face, staring blankly in a certain direction. Tears fell down without knowing why, and she felt her heart was broken. During this period, she heard some rumors that the boy was an illegitimate child and was driven out of the house by his elder sister. During this period, she didn't see any relatives visiting him, and those who came were some little bad guys who said bad things.

How pitiful. The nurse thought, but she didn't know how to comfort him. After all, although she felt sorry for the child, sometimes she couldn't help feeling strange when she thought that he was an illegitimate child.

Lan Shengzhe regrouped and returned to campus in the last half month of the semester. He appeared behind An Cui again. He tried to please An Cui without any dignity, but An Cui had already regarded him as nothing and did not accept his attentive flattery at all. People in the school saw all this and a wave of rumors emerged again. Some people ridiculed Lan Shengzhe's undignified attitude, some people were disappointed with him, and some people thought he was shameless and disgusting.

In short, someone started to cause trouble for Lan Shengzhe again, but this time An Cui turned a blind eye and didn't care about his life or death at all.

On this day, An Cui asked An Ran to do her duty while she walked in the corridor. The third-year teaching building was near the back door, which was always locked. It was the quietest part of the whole school, so that the third-year students who were at an important stage in their lives could study quietly.

However, it is precisely because of this quietness that the back door of the school is a place where accidents often occur. An Cui stood in the corridor and looked down, and saw a group of students committing school violence. Nine people surrounded one person. An Cui did not recognize the nine people, but she knew the one who was surrounded, Lan Shengzhe.

Lan Shengzhe always subconsciously paid attention to the floor where An Cui's class was located, so he soon discovered An Cui standing in the corridor looking down. Her face, as beautiful as a red rose with thorns, and the coldness and arrogance in her eyes made him palpitate, and he felt a surge of joy in his heart, but someone did not make him happy.

"Lan Shengzhe, you look so shameless, just like a dog. You are a bastard, without any self-awareness. How dare you get close to her?" said the yellow-haired guy in the lead.

"that is."

"Brother Sun, don't waste your words on him. He might even want to wait for the young lady to come down and play the victim to her."

"I'll give you a chance. Lick my feet once, and you're not allowed to come to the third grade in the future. I'll let you go today. How about that?" Huang Sun said as he approached Lan Shengzhe and whispered in his ear, "Wait until I fuck Lan Shengmei, and then I'll beg for mercy for you, the dog."

In response, Lan Shengzhe suddenly punched out with a fierce punch. Huang Sun was caught off guard and was hit head-on, causing blood to gushed out of his nose.

The signal for a fight had been given, and the scene instantly became chaotic. Lan Shengzhe's two fists were no match for four legs, but he ruthlessly attacked only Huang Sun. The heavier the fists that landed on him, the heavier his fists hit Huang Sun.

From An Cui's perspective, she could only see Lan Shengzhe lying on the ground surrounded by a group of people and being beaten and kicked. He looked very miserable.

However, Huang Sun's screams soon rang out from the center of the crowd. The people who were beating Lan Shengzhe paused and heard their brother Sun yelling, "Quickly pull this lunatic away from me! Ah!!!"

It took eight people all their might to pull Lan Shengzhe off Huang Sun, and then everyone was shocked.

Lan Shengzhe's face was covered in blood, some of it his own, but more of it was Huang Sun's, especially his chin, which was covered in blood. He spat something out of his mouth, and everyone was shocked when they saw it, and couldn't help but take a step back.

It's an ear!!

Huang Sun covered the part of his ear that was bitten off. His face was also covered in blood. He was in pain and fear, and his whole body was shaking.

Lan Shengzhe looked at them with dark and cruel eyes, like an Asura crawling out of hell. There was no trace of his servility in front of An Cui, who had no self-respect and was willing to be beaten and scolded.

He didn't look up. He didn't dare to let An Cui see this. He didn't know what An Cui would think when she saw such a scene, nor did he know what would happen next. He was very worried that An Cui would think he was too dangerous and kick him out of No. 1 Middle School and send him to another school.

He was too impulsive and couldn't help himself. If he had had a big enough stone at hand, he would have picked it up and smashed Huang Sun's head and his dirty mouth into pieces.

He spent a night in the cold apartment, restless and unable to sleep, and then saw a little hope the next day. The Huangsun family did not come to trouble him, and the Lan family settled everything. He knew that it must be An Cui who spoke up!

This made him ecstatic and gave him unlimited motivation.

Because of the heroic act of biting off Huang Sun's ear, no one dared to bully Lan Shengzhe anymore. Those who wanted to bully him would cautiously bring a group of people with them. When Lan Shengzhe was out of An Cui's sight, he was like a lone wolf, showing his sharp teeth mercilessly to the invaders. But when he was in front of An Cui, he was still like a puppy abandoned by his owner. Even if he was kicked away again and again, he still persevered and moved closer to her.

"Lan Shengzhe, don't you have any dignity? You have tried so hard to return to the Lan family and inherit the family property, but have you ever seen others look at you straight in the eye?" The girl cursed angrily after failing to save others.

Lan Shengzhe ignored her completely. She knew nothing. None of them understood. They all thought that he wanted to return to the Lan family, but only he knew that he wanted to return to... her side. This desire was so strong that he could not refuse it at all.

Perhaps the self-torture tactic and shameless entanglement finally worked. After the arrival of spring and the start of the new semester, An Cui's attitude softened a little, which made Lan Shengzhe almost cry for joy.

Another month later, Lan Shengzhe cautiously reached out for An Cui's schoolbag. Seeing that she finally did not stop him from touching it, a smile broke out on his face uncontrollably.

"Humph." An Cui snorted coldly, "If it weren't for the fact that you share half of my genes..."

She didn't finish her words, but the implication was already very clear. If it weren't for this, she would have been even more heartless and wouldn't even give him the chance to perform a sad drama.

Lan Shengzhe knew it well, and was very glad, but also felt extremely bitter. It was like eating a candy with bitter medicine inside.

Lan Shengzhe moved back to the Lan family and lived in his original room. He finally returned to the early days. He went in and out, ate and lived with An Cui every day. Although she had such a bad temper, he felt that she was supposed to be like that.

Lan Shuhua and others think that Lan Shengzhe is very scheming, and it is really scary that he can bend and stretch to such an extent, so they are wary of him. Even 524 thinks that the kaleidoscope of life in intelligent mode is too scary. With the male protagonist's IQ, acting skills and scheming, if he becomes the enemy of the male protagonist, he may die without knowing how.

They all felt that since An Cui not only did not give Lan Shengzhe a good look, but also gave him a hard time several times in a row, it was impossible for Lan Shengzhe to have any real feelings for An Cui. He did this definitely for greater benefits. After all, one was an illegitimate child and the other was a legitimate daughter. Under this special relationship, it was destined that they could not have any real feelings.

How could Lan Shengzhe not know what they were thinking? He thought that it was normal for them to think like this. He was the abnormal one. He was probably a pervert, so that was why he was like this.

However, things suddenly took an unexpected turn.

After school, An Cui wanted to eat the lasagna from the newly opened shop outside the school, so Lan Shengzhe got out of the car to buy it, and a ragged man approached her.

"What are you doing?" Lan Shengzhe looked at him warily.

The man grabbed his arm and looked at him greedily, "I'm your father!"

What?

Lan Shengzhe frowned, shook off his hand, walked around the madman and went to the car, but unexpectedly the man chased after him again, "You don't believe it? Your mother's name is Chen Qingyu, and she used to live in No. xxx, Lvliu Hutong. I lived next door to her..."

Lan Shengzhe's face changed and he became more and more frightened the more he listened. Seeing An Cui impatiently lowering the car window and looking over here, he immediately pushed the person away and walked over quickly.

"What's wrong with that guy?" An Cui said, looking at the homeless-looking man who was staring at them.

"He's a lunatic." Lan Shengzhe looked at him with lingering fear and said.

Is he really a lunatic? Lan Shengzhe couldn't control his extreme anxiety. He secretly picked up a few strands of An Cui's hair from her room and went to the hospital to have them compared with his own.

An Cui certainly knew what Lan Shengzhe had done secretly.

In the original novel, the mother of the hero Lan Shengzhe always thought that this son was from the Lan family, because she didn't know that after she and Lan Shengmei's father had a night of sex and came home tired, she forgot to lock the door and was raped by the tenant next door, who was Lan Shengzhe's biological father, and she ended up getting pregnant.

This matter was supposed to be known to Lan Shengzhe in the future, but now the plot has been changed beyond recognition and it is a completely different script. Lan Shengzhe knew the truth so much in advance. An Cui was very curious about how he would react.

Lan Shengzhe sat on a stone bench outside the hospital, his expression changing unpredictably, and it was unclear whether he was going to cry or laugh.

"Look, you are really my child, but the Lan family doesn't know. As long as we don't tell it, no one will know. You can get so many benefits from the Lan family..." The man who was said to be his biological father was still speaking excitedly and greedily in his ear.

It's really dirty and ugly. Lan Shengzhe thought so as he looked at him, and felt extremely disgusted when he thought that half of his genes came from this man.

Lan Shengzhe came back around nine o'clock in the evening. An Cui was sure that he must have known the truth, but his behavior was the same as before, as if nothing had happened, which made An Cui couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

"What have you been doing secretly these days? Behind my back?" An Cui asked him.

"Sister, please don't accuse me. How could I be sneaky? Didn't I tell you before I left?"

"What did you all go out for?"

"I just met a friend of mine...my mother's old friend, so I couldn't help but want to meet him and talk. Don't be angry."

"..."

Lan Shengzhe continued to live in the Lan family as if nothing had happened, and continued to go in and out with An Cui, which surprised An Cui, who originally thought that this world would end here. She thought that with Lan Shengzhe's temperament, he would choose to leave after knowing the truth.

However, his current behavior made her wonder whether Lan Shengzhe had been dazzled by the splendor of the Lan family, so he wanted to continue pretending to be the illegitimate son of the Lan family in order to gain benefits in the future.

The fact is, Lan Shengzhe did appease his biological father who had been waiting outside No. 1 Middle School. His biological father wanted to get money through Lan Shengzhe, so he naturally would not take the initiative to expose the fact that Lan Shengzhe was not a member of the Lan family, so he was very obedient and did not cause trouble for him.

An Cui had been waiting for Lan Shengzhe to create a big event to end this story, but she didn't expect that she would wait for such a long time and nothing happened. Finally, she lost her patience and directly used the time jump function.

This is a calculation function of the behavioral logic within the game. For example, if you jump to five years later, the system will calculate the personality of each character and the events that have happened before within these five years. The host does not need to experience that long period of time personally to know the possible result.

————

Five years later, An Cui accepted An Ran's proposal and returned to China to hold the wedding. On the eve of the wedding, Lan Shengzhe, who had become the most promising new star in the business world, brought several documents to An Cui to sign.

An Cui opened it and saw that it was a transfer and donation agreement for various movable and immovable properties, including shares in his company and several stores and villas. None of them belonged to the Lan family but to Lan Shengzhe himself.

"What is this?" An Cui looked at him.

"The dowry I prepared for you."

"You prepared a dowry for me? How can a brother prepare a dowry for his sister?"

Lan Shengzhe looked at An Cui, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes for a moment, and he said with a smile: "Why can't my brother prepare a dowry for my sister? These things originally existed because of you."

After he said this, An Cui looked through the agreement carefully and found no traps, so she signed her name.

When An Cui put on her wedding dress and there were many distinguished guests outside, she was sure that Lan Shengzhe really didn't have any big events to organize, because at this point, he couldn't do anything even if he wanted to.

She felt a little confused and puzzled. She looked at the man who came into the dressing room, saw her, said a few words to her, and then left because the wedding was about to begin. She said, "Azhe."

Lan Shengzhe turned around and looked at her.

"Do you hate me for what I did to you?"

He didn't expect An Cui to ask this suddenly. He was stunned for a moment, looked at her and said, "No, I don't hate you."

What right did he have to hate her? He had nothing to do with her. He was supposed to be just a stranger. He had inexplicably broken into her world and disturbed her.

When the man who claimed to be his biological father showed up and told him the disgusting and ugly truth, he couldn't control his nausea and vomited violently.

He was not An Cui's brother at all. This fact made him feel ecstatic in one moment and felt like he was falling into hell in the next.

He knew that he had fallen in love with her, but he had a deep understanding of An Cui's character. If An Cui knew about this, she would no longer have any strong feelings for him, whether it was disgust or contempt, everything would return to peace, he would be sent away from the Lan family, and maybe she would give him some money out of pity, that's all. They lost the bond between them, and he no longer had a reason to please her and get close to her, so he could only return to the relationship of strangers that they should have been at the beginning, and she would soon forget him, just like forgetting an insignificant person.

Thinking of this, he was at a loss, his heart was broken, he could only continue to pretend to be her brother, and continue to stick to her, hoping that time would give him a solution. But this was a vicious cycle, in order to stay with her, he could only continue to play her brother, the longer it took, the more he could not get rid of this identity, because when the truth was revealed, An Cui's feelings towards him might change from a stranger to a disgusting thief.

He was worried that An Cui would think that he was a shameless person who had taken advantage of the situation and pretended to be her brother. He was a person who had nothing to do with the Lan family, but came to pretend to be her brother and got so many benefits from the Lan family. He was a vain, greedy and shameless person.

She was a person with a strong personality and could not tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes. If he said that he did such a despicable thing because he loved her, she would not be moved at all and would only find him disgusting.

There was nothing he could do, he was trapped in this identity and unable to break free, his love for An Cui grew day by day, his jealousy towards An Ran burned fiercely, almost burning out his sanity and humanity, but he didn't know if it was because of the beating from An Cui that left a deep impression on him, every time he was about to lose control, his nerves would suddenly twitch, the whip marks that had disappeared would hurt slightly, and An Cui's burning cold eyes at that time also appeared in his mind, forcing him to calm down.

During the years-long tug-of-war between themselves, An Cui's constant display of excellence and brilliance made him feel ashamed, and he had to accept the fact - even if he was not her brother, An Cui would not like him.

An Cui would not like him. The revelation that he was not a member of the Lan family would only deprive him of the right to be close to her and stay with her.

So this matter must be a secret. He must be her brother because he loves her so much.

At the wedding, Lan Shengzhe sat below, watching An Cui, wearing her wedding dress, being led by her grandfather towards An Ran. The diamonds on her snow-white wedding dress sparkled brightly in the sun, but what was more dazzling than those diamonds was An Cui, who made them seem like accessories.

He watched them say their vows and kiss, he smiled and applauded with the other guests, but there were tears in his eyes.
