They all want to control me!

Chapter 45, a major release: She is my family.

This was the first time Jiang Qiaoqiao had seen Lin Ran's face in real life.

Suddenly, she remembered that a senior student had said that Lin Ran's face shape was cold and melancholic. She agreed with the opinion at the time, but after meeting her in person, she found that it was not like that at all.

warmth.

At least Jiang Qiaoqiao felt very warm, because those eyes only saw her.

Lin Ran raised his hand and pinched her cheek. Unlike Tao Zhiyao's soft and juicy cheek, hers was bouncy like jelly, and it even changed color. Oh my god... it's red! The stock is red!

"Get out of my way!"

Jiang Qiaoqiao was so embarrassed that she realized now that the way the two of them were hugging was very ambiguous, not to mention pinching each other's cheeks. How could this be allowed! How dare you pinch my cheeks?

She struggled to break free from Lin Ran's embrace and took two steps back, but her legs, which hadn't fully recovered and had exhausted all her strength during the escape, now felt as limp as noodles. She was about to fall flat on her backside and break her tailbone...

Lin Ran reached out and pulled the wheelchair over, positioning it perfectly against Jiang Qiaoqiao's little bottom, allowing her to sit down comfortably.

"Be careful not to fracture your tailbone... It's not impossible, I'm going to the hospital for orthopedic surgery on Sunday, maybe I can take a look at you there."

"..."

Watch me?

Naked, lying face down on the operating table, buttocks sticking out...

The sight made Jiang Qiaoqiao grit her teeth and glare fiercely at Lin Ran. If she didn't have to be mindful of her image in public, she would have already started arguing with Lin Ran.

"How did you find me?" She raised her arms, looking up at me, but speaking in a condescending tone.

"Pinch your cheek."

"When you video chat, you want to see my face, and then you want to pinch it. Don't you have any shame?"

Jiang Qiaoqiao, of course, wouldn't let him pinch her. She pursed her lips, turned her head away, and avoided his hand.

Forced flowers don't smell good. Lin Ran regretfully withdrew his hand. It seemed he would have to find another opportunity to touch Jiang Qiaoqiao next time.

"Gao Yan and the others are just using this as a smokescreen to fool you. I don't need to look for your whereabouts at all; I know them every moment."

"You installed a surveillance camera on me? When?"

"You forgot, there's a mobile camera next to you."

"???"

As if a bolt of lightning had cleaved through the dark clouds, Jiang Qiaoqiao suddenly realized what was happening and quickly turned around to see Aunt Zhao smiling and waving at her.

She remembered what she had just told Aunt Zhao: "You must not let Lin Ran bribe you." Aunt Zhao hadn't given her a definite answer at the time, but it turned out that she had already colluded with the enemy!

Did I lose to Lin Ran from the very beginning?

But what price did he pay to bribe the nanny who had taken care of me for over ten years?

Lin Ran noticed the confusion in her eyes and explained with a smile:

"You have no friends. You usually chat with me nonstop on WeChat, but you're acting very strangely today. This afternoon, I sent you a WeChat message to provoke you, but you acted very calmly. I felt that you had some tricks up your sleeve, so I went to ask Aunt Zhao what was going on."

"Aunt Zhao initially refused to say anything. She was a real riddle. Even after I called her 'Mom,' she still wouldn't reveal anything. Then I said I wanted to help her make some friends because she's so stubborn, and if she missed this opportunity, she wouldn't have another chance. Only then did Aunt Zhao relent."

Just as a perpetrator will always return to the crime scene to admire their accomplishment, Lin Ran told Jiang Qiaoqiao everything in detail, even mentioning the "recognizing her mother" plot.

Jiang Qiaoqiao's mouth dropped open, shocked by Lin Ran's shamelessness and lack of principles, yet also admiring him for coming up with the idea of ​​"winning hearts and minds" to find Aunt Zhao's weakness and make her "betray" him. He was quite capable.

Also, you can call someone "Mom" as long as they are a woman, right?

"Qiaozi, you guessed right." Lin Ran saw through her thoughts and said with a straight face, "As long as she is a kind, beautiful, and lovely woman, I can recognize her as my mother."

"……unbelievable."

Jiang Qiaoqiao's eyes were filled with incomprehension of the abstract.

A few seconds later, she suddenly burst out laughing, clutching her stomach.

Before we met, what was I so nervous about?

Lin Ran has always been a bastard.

She had hoped to be happy after meeting him, and now that has indeed come true, she is truly happy.

It's not about experiencing life while controlling your body, nor is it about bickering on the phone. It's about bridging the physical distance in reality, looking at each other face to face, and feeling happy just to meet.

Lin Ran has always been the way she remembers him, and has never changed.

Seeing the girl smile, Lin Ran also smiled.

Surely there's no man in this world who wouldn't find it pleasing to the eye to see a beautiful girl happy, right? Really?

Just then, a commotion arose at the entrance of the lecture hall.

Xiao Nan was the first to rush in, shouting, "Ran-ge, did the plan succeed?"

The student council president, looking like an exhausted salted fish, was the second to come in: "Junior, I'm exhausted. You have to let me touch your abs to recharge later."

Gao Yan grabbed Xiao Nan by the collar and pulled him in front of her: "They're just having a face-to-face meeting, why are you going to join in?"

Wang Hui looked utterly devastated, displaying a profound sense of sorrow at the fall of Shu Han: "What a disaster! What a disaster! This isn't even about whether our lord surrenders or not! I, the 'strategist,' can't come up with a plan to win!"

Tao Zhiyao came in without saying a word, her eyes searching for Lin Ran, and then she smiled when she found him.

Aunt Zhao stepped aside to make way.

The entire "capture team" for Jiang Qiaoqiao has arrived.

Jiang Qiaoqiao wasn't mentally prepared. Faced with so many strangers and familiar people, she subconsciously operated the wheelchair control panel, wanting to escape.

How could Lin Ran let her have her way? He grabbed her shoulders and lifted her up, making her stand on her feet to face the people who had barged in.

Lin Ran said with a smile:

"Come on, let me formally introduce someone to you. Jiang Qiaoqiao, you can also call her Qiaozi. Next week she will become my sworn sister's woman, and also my future family. Be good to her, my future wealth and glory depend on her."

Everyone: "???"

Jiang Qiaoqiao's abilities are obvious to everyone; after all, there's a six-million-dollar Cullinan parked at the school gate right now.

So when Lin Ran said, "This is the woman who will become my sister," everyone found a strange sense of reason amidst the absurdity.

Xiao Nan silently gave a thumbs-up, applauding Lin Ran's public declaration of being a kept man, only to be slapped on the back of the head by Gao Yan. He was trembling with anger and coldness. When would this naive, submissive man ever stand up and regain his virility?!

The president's eyes blinked like two big light bulbs as he eagerly ate the melon.

Wang Hui's hope was rekindled, and she murmured, "My lord, we are not yet at the point of certain death. I will surely come up with a plan." — Comment: You've watched too much of the new Three Kingdoms.

Tao Zhiyao didn't react much. From beginning to end, she only had eyes for Lin Ran and didn't see Jiang Qiaoqiao as a threat because "Lin Ran and Jiang Qiaoqiao have nothing to do with each other anymore"—she kept in mind what Lin Ran said yesterday.

Jiang Qiaoqiao blushed instantly, glared at him, and realized he was blurting out everything without thinking.

Lin Ran pretended not to see it.

What's wrong with me openly acknowledging my "godmother"?

If I succeed, I'll be awesome; if I fail, I won't lose anything. This is definitely a deal that won't lose money.
