As soon as school was over, Cao Aiqian hurried home. She made an appointment with the mover on the phone and agreed to move things at six o'clock today.
Although it was a move, very few of the accessories in the house were sold at his own stall, and there were no valuable items at all.
As soon as she got off the car, Cao Aiqian saw Ran Jiang wandering at the door of Cao's villa, "Ran Jiang?" She shouted in surprise and trotted over.
As soon as Ran Jiang saw her, he immediately smiled, and then he reached out to help Cao Ai lift his backpack.
"Why are you here?" Cao Aiqian said quickly.
"I was wondering too!" Ran Jiang replied with a slight smile, "Aunt Zhang from Xueyuan Mingjia Community said that a girl was moving today and asked me to come and move for her!
"The address you gave me is the villa complex here at your home." Ran Jiang scratched his hair and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "I was about to call Aunt Zhang and ask her!"
Cao Ai was slightly startled. The moving master was indeed the number given by her landlord Aunt Zhang, but she didn't expect it to be Ran Jiang. For a while, she didn't know how to explain.
"Hey...actually I am the one who is moving." Cao Aiqian said quickly when she saw Ran Jiang took out his mobile phone and was about to call the landlord.
"What...!" Ran Jiang had a look of disbelief on his face, and then he scolded loudly, "Is it Cao Kouwen who wants to drive you out? I'll settle the score with him."
"No!"
"Boss, you don't need to explain to him! I called the brothers and asked him to walk around without food today."
Seeing that Ran Jiang was about to rush into the villa, Cao Aiqian grabbed him and stopped him loudly: "I want to move out myself."
Ran Jiang calmed down and asked puzzledly: "Why?"
"Hey, you help me move first, and I'll tell you when we get to the rental place." Cao Aiqian finished impatiently and walked into the villa.
Ran Jiang followed closely behind him silently, kicking the loose warm stones under his feet as he walked, humming a Cantonese song he didn't understand.
Cao Aiqian's luggage was very small, and he just packed a few pieces of clothing into boxes.
She stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself.
Not particularly outstanding, but a very pure and pleasant little face.
Cao Aiqian smiled and made a face in the mirror, silently saying in her heart: Goodbye, Cao Kouwen!
Suddenly a boy's face appeared in the mirror standing behind Cao Aiqian. Ran Jiang was wearing simple clothes. He had lost a lot of weight after not seeing him for a few days. His hair was disheveled and there were dirty oil stains on his face. He smiled brightly at him. He posed a few times in the mirror, then turned around to pick up his luggage.
In Cao Aiqian's memory, Ran Jiang should be two years older than her. Logically speaking, he has just turned 18 this year. He has been hanging out in society since completing nine years of compulsory education in junior high school.
He met Cao Aiqian in a bar two years ago.
At that time, Cao Aiqian offended several gangsters in society, and was surrounded by several adult men, preparing to take turns to torture him. By chance, he met Ran Jiang and his friends and took action to save the day.
From then on, they became known as brothers, and Cao Aiqian also spent a lot of money to support his brothers.
"Are there other brothers?" Cao Aiqian asked.
"They... two of them were imprisoned for robbery without money not long ago, and..." Ran Jiang casually recounted the recent past.
Cao Aiqian never expected that after ignoring them for more than a month, each of them would change so much. Perhaps it was because he used money to support them, but suddenly one day he no longer cared about them, and they had no choice but to A skilled person will inevitably do something that violates the law.
"Then...how did you start moving?" Cao Aiqian lowered his head and asked in a low voice.
Ran Jiang looked at Cao Aiqian's expression and couldn't help but laugh: "Boss, you are caring about me."
After a long time, Ran Jiang scratched his hair unconsciously. "I...I have to support my sister. I can't do anything that violates the law."
Cao Aiqian stopped asking any more questions and silently scolded herself in her heart. She had known Ran Jiang for more than two years but didn't know that he had a sister.
Soon, Ran Jiang put his luggage in the trunk of the car. He had borrowed the car and he had to return it as soon as possible.
The car soon drove into Xueyuan Mingjia Community, and Ran Jiang moved all the suitcases into the rental house.
Seeing that the room had not been cleaned yet, Ran Jiang couldn't help but frowned: "Boss, I'll clean the room for you after I return the car!"
Cao Ai was slightly stunned, and was too embarrassed to refuse his kindness, so he agreed immediately.
After Ran Jiang finished checking out the car, he went to the supermarket to buy some fruits and snacks. He remembered that Cao Aiqian often called her in the middle of the night to buy her food.
"Bang!" The door was pushed open.
"Boss, did you organize this?" Ran Jiang was just about to walk into the house with his front legs, then took his legs back and looked at the orderly room with a look of disbelief on his face.
In his impression, Cao Aiqian was a rich young lady who had no fingers in the water.
The room is very delicately decorated and looks very cozy.
The bed is covered with soft and comfortable sheets, the walls are covered with large white floral curtains, a beautiful crystal chandelier hangs from the ceiling, and there are many cute and beautiful knick-knacks scattered around the room...
Cao Aiqian's eyes were full of surprise when she watched Ran Jiang walk in.
"How about it, your boss, I am awesome!"
"That's amazing!" Ran Jiang changed his shoes, walked in, put the fruit snacks on the coffee table, and looked around the house in disbelief.
"Then it looks like nothing's wrong with me!" he said with a smile.
"Since you're here, let's eat some fruit before leaving!" Cao Aiqian saw him carrying a large bag of fruit snacks.
The two sat on the sofa next to them and chatted.
"How much will Aunt Zhang promise you to pay for your move?" Cao Aiqian asked casually.
Ran Jiang shook his head and joked in embarrassment: "How much does it cost to move you?"
"Here!" Cao Aiqian took out 500 yuan from her pocket and handed it to Ran Jiang. After paying half a year's rent of 3,800 yuan, she didn't have much left.
Ran Jiang was stunned, looked at her doubtfully and said, "The last time I went to Nanmen Market to sell clothes, what was the income?"
"Don't worry!"
"No, it's too much and I can't take it. You don't have any money now." Ran Jiang pushed the money to her again.
Cao Aiqian looked at her and said seriously: "Don't worry, I can make some money now. Besides, Cao Kouwen gave me this month's pocket money in advance." She put the money into his hand again.
Ran Jiang had no choice but to put the money back in his pocket and whispered: "The little pocket money your brother gave you is like what rich families give to girls."
The two chatted for a few more words. It was getting late, and Ran Jiang was ready to go back to rest.
Before leaving, Cao Aiqian suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, your sister...?"
"She lives in the House of Hope." Ran Jiang said with complex emotions flashing in his eyes as he looked at Cao Aiqian.
Hope House is an orphanage built by the local government.
Cao Aiqian suddenly said with embarrassment, "I didn't expect this to happen... I'm sorry!"
"It's okay, it's okay! Take her out and I can't feed her." Ran Jiang waved his hand, with a gentle smile on his face.
"I can go see her when I have time in the future!" Cao Ai said with a smile.
Ran Jiang was slightly startled, then nodded.
"Then I'll leave first."
After Ran Jiang finished speaking, he turned and left.
Looking at his back, Cao Aiqian felt a little disappointed.
She is also an orphan in this world, but she was lucky enough to be taken in by the Cao couple.
After Ran Jiang left, she simply washed up and lay on the bed. She glanced at her phone. At this time, Aunt Liu made several missed calls to her.
She called back, and an anxious voice came from the other side: "Xiao Qian, why didn't you tell me that you were moving out?"
"Aunt Liu, don't worry. I didn't say goodbye to you when you weren't home when I moved."
"You are in that community, is it safe? Do you want me to come over and cook for you tomorrow?" Aunt Liu said a lot there.
"Xueyuan Famous Community." Cao Ai said lightly.
Aunt Liu was relieved when she heard that it was a famous scholar from the Academy. The security of this community was well-known in Sengkang City.
"Did Cao Dong promise you to move out?" Aunt Liu asked.
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Cao Aiqian turned off the lights and went to sleep. She had to go to class tomorrow.
