"Come in!" Cao Aiqian took Ran Jiang and the others back to his home.
They had just been to the supermarket and bought a large bag of food.
"I've really troubled you recently, help me take care of Ran He!" Ran Jiang smiled guiltily at her.
Cao Aiqian shook her head: "It's no trouble, no trouble. Didn't you go out of your way for me before? Besides, I'm your eldest brother!" After saying that, she patted her chest proudly.
"Brother! Big brother...brother..." Ran Jiang looked at her honest smile.
"Okay, stop talking so much!" Cao Ai gave him a blank look, handed him a cartoon apron and said, "No! You cook today!"
"Yes!" Ran Jiang responded immediately.
Ran Jiang opened the refrigerator and found eggs and meat.
"Are these enough?" Ran Jiang asked.
"Enough, enough!" Cao Aiqian nodded.
"Then let me wash the dishes first!"
"Go for it!"
After Ran Jiang left, Cao Aiqian sat down in the living room, while Ran He obediently sat on the sofa and played games.
"Boss, don't you miss your brother?" Ran Jiang asked Cao Aiqian while cutting vegetables in the kitchen.
After hearing his words, Cao Aiqian remained silent and did not answer.
Ran Jiang also knew that he had said the wrong thing and stopped talking.
He chopped vegetables carefully and had the meal ready in a short time.
He brought the dishes and placed them on the coffee table, and then took the bowls and chopsticks and arranged them.
"It's time to eat!" He turned to look at his sister on the sofa.
"Um!"
Ran He nodded, jumped up from the sofa, and skipped towards the dining table.
"Brother, am I starving to death...?"
Ran Jiang lovingly ruffled the short hair on her forehead: "A starving ghost is reincarnated!"
"Hehe..." Ran He grinned stupidly.
Cao Aiqian looked at the two of them getting along harmoniously, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Nuo, try the durian egg yolk bun I made for you. This is the best you've ever tasted..." Ran Jiang picked it up, poked open the outer skin with chopsticks, poured out the egg yolk and fillings and handed it to Cao Aiqian.
"Ran Jiang!" Cao Aiqian called him solemnly.
"Yeah!" He raised his eyes to look at her.
"I don't like to eat any durian-flavored food now." Cao Aiqian said with a frown.
Hearing this, Ran Jiang was stunned for a moment. Although he had doubts, he immediately realized that no matter what changes the boss made, he would listen.
"I'm sorry! I didn't think well..."
"It's okay! As long as you remember!" She smiled faintly.
"certainly!"
"Then eat quickly!" Cao Aiqian urged.
"good!"
Not a moment later.
"Ding bell! Ding bell!" Suddenly, the landline phone next to the table rang. Ran Jiang picked up the phone and heard the voice from the other end. His face suddenly became solemn: "I know!"
After hanging up the phone, Cao Aiqian stood up hastily, "What's the matter?"
Ran He didn't move his chopsticks anymore, and stared at Ran Jiang with his big eyes.
"Well! The legal notice is that the court will be held next Saturday!" Ran Jiang explained simply and sat down silently.
Cao Aiqian looked at him for a long time and asked, "Are you afraid?"
Ran Jiang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head resolutely, "No! I must make Liu Liwen pay the price!"
Cao Ai pursed her lips and thought, feeling a little complicated in her heart, "You...I'm talking about you beating Liu Liwen!"
"I..." Ran Jiang was suddenly speechless!
Seeing Ran Jiang lowering his head, Cao Aiqian understood what he was thinking, so he sighed softly, "It is illegal to hit someone! Besides..."
"What else can you say?" Ran Jiang raised his eyes and looked at her.
"Liu Liwen somehow obtained the tenth-level disability appraisal certificate. Do you know how much compensation you have to pay?" Cao Aiqian asked seriously.
"Level 10 disability! Is he still a human being?" Ran Jiang clenched his fist angrily.
"Do you know you can't afford compensation and you will be detained again?!"
"I...I don't regret it...then Ran He, he bullied Ran He, why didn't you mention it?" Ran Jiang asked with red eyes.
Cao Ai took a deep breath, "If you weren't so impulsive, could Liu Liwen have been able to live freely for so long? If you weren't impulsive, would I still need to consider compensation for you?"
"..." Ran Jiang looked at Cao Aiqian blankly, his eyes slowly turning red.
"You have to know that we are the defendants in this trial. Liu Liwen knows that he will never escape prison, so he wants to catch you and beat him to drag you down." Cao Aiqian analyzed calmly.
"I know..." Ran Jiang lowered his head, tears falling down.
How could he not know the consequences of what he did, but he couldn't control it...
"Ran Jiang..." Cao Aiqian reached out and patted Ran Jiang's shoulder, comforting him, "Don't be sad yet. This matter has not been finalized yet. I have some evidence here for you to take a look at first."
"I……"
"Okay, hurry up and eat! If you really lose money, I will find a way." Cao Aiqian urged.
Ran Jiang lowered his head, tears falling like pearls and said, "Yes...I'm sorry, I always cause you trouble."
Cao Aiqian walked up to him, held his hand, and comforted him gently: "Don't cry, you look ugly like this."
"..." Ran Jiang sniffed and laughed through tears.
Seeing Ran Jiang burst into tears and laughing, Cao Aiqian was relieved, but she felt a little disappointed in her heart for no reason. She had never seen Ran Jiang like this.
Cao Aiqian looked back and saw Ran He dumbfounded with tears in his eyes.
After eating, Ran Jiang silently cleared away the dishes.
Cao Aiqian was sitting on the sofa in the restaurant, scrolling through her mobile phone, while Ran Jiang was standing in the kitchen washing dishes and pots.
After cleaning the house thoroughly again, Ran Jiang wiped his sweat, sat next to Cao Aiqian and asked, "Did I take Ran He home?"
Cao Aiqian looked up at Ran Jiang and said, "Go back to the House of Hope?"
"Yeah." Ran Jiang responded and started to pack things.
Cao Aiqian's room was originally a single room, and it was inconvenient for him to be a man with a child.
Besides, I can't trouble her anymore.
"Then..." Cao Aiqian opened his mouth to say something, but finally closed his mouth.
The two of them were silent until Ran Jiang packed up everything and was about to leave. Then Cao Aiqian slowly spoke: "Ran Jiang, you can't let Ran He go back to Hope Primary School again."
"...?" Ran Jiang frowned and nodded in acquiescence.
"This...I took it!" Ran Jiang pointed to a stack of evidence materials on the table, and Cao Aiqian acquiesced and picked it up.
"Um... I'll handle it myself in the court... You live your own life." Ran Jiang pulled Ran He to the door, turned back and lowered his head, and said softly.
Cao Aiqian looked at him, was silent for a moment and said, "Okay."
"Well, I'll go first." With that said, he pulled Ran He out of the apartment building.
The apartment door was closed. Cao Aiqian sat on the sofa and meditated for a long time. Her eyes shifted to the window...
It wasn't until her cell phone rang rapidly that she came back to her senses and answered the phone: "Hello, hello."
